Chapter 7 Placement
Liu Lan went to study the lines for interpretation in high spirits. Jiang Qi shook his head, saying that he didn't understand today's migrant workers, and went on to read the script.
In order to get the 500 yuan reward from the mission and to increase the star of the card, he had to study the script thoroughly, especially all the parts where Old John appeared, and take the right medicine to find a way to increase the star of the card.
Jiang Qi went upstairs and spent an hour reading all six character scripts of "Mask Club" and a host manual.
The core of the story is actually very simple. The Mask Club is a place similar to Pawn Shop No. 8. The club accepts all transactions, but it must use the most precious things of the traders.
There is a twist behind what Liu Lan said, and he should be referring to Mina being one of the characters.
Yes, Mina is also a character. Her real name is a haggard woman with short hair.
John was addicted to drugs and alcohol and could not survive long. Under such circumstances, Mina received an invitation to the club for the first time. Mina learned in the club that all of John's misfortunes came from his former boss - that
A villain who didn't deserve a name and was killed by John.
John's former boss came to the club many years ago and exchanged his conscience for the opportunity for promotion and salary increase. Later, when the company's new drug development failed, his boss had to bear the main responsibility, so he came to the club again and exchanged his family affection for the opportunity.
He framed John and asked him to take the blame for himself. After John was released from prison, he started a business. His former boss knew that John and Mina had been collecting evidence over the years and wanted to overturn the case. They were afraid that John would find out something when he became famous. He came to the club for the third time and used his own
John's new company suffered a major blow in exchange for his talent and happiness.
The essence of the Mask Club is this. People who have made a transaction can come in again at any time to make transactions. Non-stop transactions will continue to amplify people's greed and eventually lead to destruction.
Mina, who entered the club for the first time, wanted to save John and cheer him up. After evaluation, the club believed that the most precious thing about Mina was the precious emotions between her and John, but emotions were not enough to exchange these, so Mina went to the club again.
Adding her own appearance and family background, she exchanged beauty, love and money for John's new life.
Mina lost her love and memory for John, and lost love forever. She became an ordinary-looking woman who was expelled from the family by her father, and lived a miserable life.
When Jiang Qi read Mina's book, he didn't realize in the first scene that this miserable woman who seemed to have been abandoned by the world was Mina. Mina's role in the first two scenes was more to explain the Mask Club to other players. After all, this time
Among the seven guests, except for the former boss who is destined to die, the only one who knows the Mask Club is Mina.
At the end of the first act of Mina Ben, this desperate woman once again received an invitation to the Mask Club. She knew that she had been here before, but she could not remember what she had done here. With nothing, she finally chose to come here again.
This place of bargaining with the devil.
Mina is not a pure love-minded Bai Fumei as Jiang Qi initially thought. On the contrary, her childhood was even as miserable as John's.
In her recollection, her mother died young, and all the good memories of her childhood came from her mother. Her father favored sons over daughters, and all his thoughts were on several illegitimate children and the sons born by his stepmother. Although she had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, she had no one.
Really abused her but never got anything emotionally reciprocated."
When Mina was a teenager, she became debauched, drank, took drugs, and raced. No one cared about her when she needed the advice of her elders the most. Her father even gave her a lot of money to indulge her, as if he just wanted her to die. Later, Mina
Na woke up on her own, but no one still cared about her. With her good family background, she went to a prestigious school, worked in a large company, and had many boyfriends until she met John, who she felt was very similar to her.
Mina worked so hard to save the fallen John not only because she loved him, but also because she felt that she was saving her fallen self. She saw too many similarities with herself in John, and she tried her best to save John.
At the same time, he is trying his best to save himself.
The remaining four people all have separate story lines, there is not much overlap with each other, the routines are similar, and they are all people at the end of the road with no hope.
After reading the entire book, Jiang Qi had a slight change in his view of the emotional book.
It’s still outrageous, but it’s quite interesting when it’s outrageous.
Jiang Qi thinks the most interesting part of this book is the final mechanism. After all the truth is revealed, the six players need to face a choice. John's choices are more diverse. He can exchange what he wants, and the club will evaluate what else he can exchange for.
.He can also choose to return what Mina exchanged to the club. The club allows him to choose two things from love, appearance and family background to return to Mina.
After reading all the stories, Jiang Qi probably understood why Liu Lan said that this one was meaningless without interpretation.
All the highlights and reversals in this book are basically concentrated in the mechanism of players going through tests and recalling previously forgotten things. No matter how colorful the text on the cards is, it is delicate and rich, but there is no strong impact like a real person performing a paragraph in front of the player.
As long as the sound and lighting are in place and the acting is not so embarrassing, even if you don't show much face and hide behind the curtain and act with your voice, the effect will be better than just reading the text.
As the mainstay of the drama club, a professional handler of flowers, trees and passers-by, and occasionally a part-time job as an amateur scene manager of lighting and props, Jiang Qi said that he still has to rely on him for the acting part.
It's time to show off the high-end acting skills I've learned in the drama club over the years.
Just when Jiang Qi was full of ambition and ready to show off his talents, Old John came down from upstairs carrying cleaning tools and said: "The cleaning is done."
"Can you get off work?"
As the boss who provided food and accommodation but no salary, Jiang Qi symbolically checked Old John's work results.
Very amazing.
Old John is indeed a professional cleaner with decades of service. He completed the deep cleaning of the entire store in less than three hours. Not only did he make the store as clean as new, but he also cleaned the store that was originally full of sundries and express cartons.
Jiang Qi, who was exhausted from dealing with school inspections and cleaning dormitories in college, was stunned by such an impressive success.
Another person who was stunned was Liu Lan. From her surprised expression, Jiang Qi could tell that the sanitary environment in their dormitory was probably shocking.
"Lan Lan, we have to leave first." Jiang Qi also wanted to take Old John to buy a change of clothes. If it was later, the cheap shops on the street would be closed.
"Oh, okay." Lan Lan was sitting at the front desk eating noodles. Her mouth was full of noodles and she nodded vaguely. She swallowed a big mouthful of noodles and shouted to Jiang Qi who stepped out of the store with one foot, "Tomorrow afternoon
Come early and we'll rehearse the performance."
