"How's your hotel doing?"
"It's not like that. I get dividends every month. If I don't have enough to eat, I won't die of hunger."
Zhou Zhen's third uncle was originally a contract foreman. In the 2008 crisis, when a developer's capital collapsed, he invested all his money, and finally fell into a uncompleted residential building with only half a floor.
I borrowed a circle in the village and collected 20 million yuan to barely finish the building frame.
But this is not a commercial house, but a commercial real estate. He still can't play.
Ruthlessly, he directly pulled a number of chain hotels in the row to invest and built a four-star hotel here.
The property rights of the remaining floors were divided, and the loans and loans were repaid. After five or six years, life was easier.
In theory, they have a good foundation. Zhou Xuan is the only daughter and owns several houses under her name.
They account for about 30% of the shares of the hotel. Regardless of management, they only pay dividends. His three uncles and three aunts travel around the world every day, and their days are more natural and unrestrained than anyone else.
Zhou Xuan asked again, "Zhou Yuandong, did Zhou Jindong invite you to dinner?"
"No, don't mention them."
Every family has a difficult Sutra, and Zhou Zhen's family is no exception.
His father's generation had four sisters, three brothers and an aunt.
His father is the boss, but he is not the eldest grandson. His cousin Zhou Yuandong is eight years older than him.
His grandparents have been partial to his second child since childhood. Because his second child is strong in reading, smart and married the earliest, he also added a big grandson to them early in the morning.
When she was a child, Zhou Zhen was naughty. She was never good in front of her grandparents. She had something to eat and picked up what her cousin left.
Originally, the two old people wanted to spend their whole life with the second family, but aunt Zhou Zhen died and the second uncle married a small one.
The little one was a fierce man. He made a contradiction and forced his second uncle to send them to Zhou Zhen's house.
That's it. My grandparents still refuse to live with my eldest grandchildren.
Cousin Zhou Zhen is now a section chief of an organ of the district Party committee. Although the house he bought is large, he can't take care of the old couple.
The old couple couldn't make it, and finally managed to live in Zhou Zhen's house.
Therefore, Zhou Zhen has a general relationship with her grandparents. The old couple are also humble in front of Zhou Zhen's mother.
When they were young, the eldest family didn't enjoy any care. Now they must have no confidence.
The second uncle's family had the best conditions since childhood, but now they are the worst. Few people come back from the village, let alone deal with them.
Zhou Tai and some of them who were not married gathered together in front of white lotus to pay attention. Zhou Zhen was happy to watch jokes.
Although the white lotus is hypocritical, it is really charming when you don't know the details.
Their conditions are good. Zhou Tai, the poorest, also has a car and a house at home and has a deposit of millions.
And they are all young. White lotus's favorite is this type of licking dog.
After chatting with her cousin for a while, she was shouted by her friends to shake the sieve cup. Zhou Zhen was a little stuffy, so she was ready to sit in the hall outside for a while.
After a row of doll machines, Zhou Zhen was stunned and looked back. The minor and Xiaoliang's daughter-in-law were wearing a sweater to cover their face and were concentrating on holding the doll.
Originally, she wanted to say hello. She was not a person in the same world, so Zhou Zhen didn't chat up in the past.
He found a sofa where he could see them directly and sat down to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Their craft was obviously very good. They ran out of money and didn't pick up any. They had to be angry and ready to leave.
At this time, the minor saw Zhou Zhen and talked to Xiao Liang's sister-in-law. The two came over.
"What a coincidence?" Xiao Liang's daughter-in-law greeted her openly.
"Good sister-in-law. Good sister-in-law." the little beauty of Wan Wan tilted her mouth. Obviously she didn't like the name.
Xiao Liang's daughter-in-law said with a smile, "let's go and play in our box for a while."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll escape and be clean for a while, so I won't spoil the atmosphere."
She sat curiously on the other side of Zhou Zhen's sofa and asked, "did you really kill several people?"
Zhou Zhen nodded. "I'll talk again when I have a chance. This is not a place to chat..."
At this time, the prompt tone of the system sounded again. Zhou Zhen's heart sank, and an unknown premonition came up.
Just as she was going to see it, her sister-in-law asked, "are you somewhat different?"
Minors also nodded. "Yes, it's different from the people I've met. It can also do Kung Fu."
Zhou Zhen shook her head and said with a smile, "what can be different? It's not two eyes and one mouth."
Maybe Zhou Zhen didn't lick the dog and didn't treat them as stars. They were also very comfortable and were willing to chat with Zhou Zhen.
However, Zhou Zhen was in a hurry to communicate with the program and took the initiative to get up and leave. "You continue to play. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The sister-in-law said discontentedly, "what happened in the evening?"
Zhou Zhen smiled. "Kill."
The two people were frightened. Zhou Zhen quickly laughed: "I'm kidding. If you have time another day, please have dinner with brother Xiao Liang."
The two women looked at Zhou Zhen walking with long legs and leaving quickly. They still didn't return to their senses.
The minor asked, "sister Ying, do you think he's joking?"
"I don't know. It seems to be true!"
Zhou Zhen got out of the KTV. Despite being on the street, he entered the secret door of the sea. When he saw that the program screen showed that there were seven hours and 56 minutes from the world node of the devil's spokesman, he almost scolded his mother!
Now, he has determined that this system is absolutely uneasy and kind.
Not to mention anything else, Zhou Zhen could feel full of malice just from this name.
Devil's advocate!
Is this a hint to yourself?
Zhou Zhen doesn't know!
But he knew that the film world was something he had to experience.
He refused "the wolf" and "death is coming". Now, he has no chance to refuse continuously.
Although he has not yet entered, he has made the possibility of failure in this mission.
But even if he is ready to fail, he must go home immediately and watch the film again.
He had seen the film before, so to speak, he didn't understand it at all.
This film can be said to belong to magic realism. Although it tells a realistic story, Satan has always appeared around him and lured him into hell.
His father is the incarnation of Satan. The fusion of these two distinct identities makes the whole film mysterious.
Go home and turn on the computer. Zhou Zhen sits in front of the computer with paper and pen in her hand.
While waiting for the computer to turn on, he also made himself a pot of coffee.
At the beginning of the film, everything seemed normal. But from the beginning of the film, all kinds of jade hopes tempt the protagonist Kevin to degenerate.
This depravity is Satan's trap. In the end, Kevin is unable to get rid of it.
Is this a metaphor for yourself?
At this moment, he felt very much like Kevin. Kevin's temptation is fame and wealth, but his temptation is beyond ordinary people's ability.
Xu gui'e came back and saw Zhou Zhen at home. She said disgustedly, "there are so many hotels and women on Green Island, but you just sit in front of the computer and roll yourself."
"Mom, I didn't roll myself."
"Then you don't have a woman!"
Zhou Zhen is manic. "This family can't stay."
"I know the Taoist priest of Shangqing palace very well. You can go to the Taoist temple." His mother gave him a white look and slammed the door.
Hearing the footsteps of her downstairs, Zhou Zhen was relieved that she was lucky to escape.
I haven't experienced it before. Now he knows that there's no need to be a mother's forced marriage.
The film was watched again, but Zhou Zhen still didn't understand some places. He didn't close the places related to religious metaphors, but built the framework of the whole film.
Only by structuring the logic of the whole film can we know where is important and where is unimportant.
Then he began to watch various film reviews, hoping to analyze the film from different angles with the help of the wisdom of others.
Finally, he found a terrible reality.
Core: free will.
Free will is the core power of a person. Even God or the devil cannot interfere.
Similarly, the choice born of free will is also everyone's freedom.
The incarnation of Satan, the role played by El Pacino, mentioned the word many times, hating but helpless.
Satan can tempt God's people to take it for himself, but he must go through a procedure that allows humans to "make their own choices".
Of course, the opposite is the same. Human beings can also make their own choices and stand in the camp of God. Satan has nothing to do about it.
So, this is the core of the film.
The whole structure of the film is a process of Satan's temptation to human choice.
Zhou Zhen doesn't believe in Christ and naturally doesn't believe in Satan, but the truth is the same.
The choice of light and darkness, the choice of justice and evil.
Knowing these core ideas, Zhou Zhen watched the film again and remembered some neglected details.
However, the plot of the film left no trace in his heart. There was only one idea in his heart.
How to face the choice?
He didn't believe that the system just let him experience the plot of the film again, which was no challenge for him.
Because there are too many choices, any small change will affect the subsequent plot.
For example, the protagonist never neglects his wife when he arrives in New York. If he explains his wife, it will not lead to his wife's tragic fate.
Even losing the first lawsuit at the beginning will not lead to everything later.
There are many such nodes in this film.
Therefore, Zhou Zhen believes that the film world will never give herself such a simple task as changing her destiny.
On the other hand, does the system just want to conquer itself and turn itself into a puppet?
Definitely not!
If so, from the beginning, he should not give himself equal opportunities for dialogue.
Zhou Zhen said they were collaborators, and it would not agree.
So, what is there that you ignore?
Why did you have one task in the past ten days or so? Today, because of your refusal, you have three consecutive tasks?
Can the system freely control all world nodes?
In this speculation, the familiar feeling of dizziness came, and his soul and body seemed to be evacuated
