The book "Genius on the Left, Madman on the Right" has had a lot of controversy since its publication.

There are some "sober people" who think that buying this book is purely to pay IQ tax.

Some people are even more extreme, thinking that this book is a cancer that poisons the minds of teenagers, and they should not even read it.

These views are based on the author, the content of the book, and the publicity.

The introduction of the author Gao Ming reads:

Born in 1974, he dropped out of junior high school in the second year of junior high school, and was once obsessed with religion, philosophy, quantum mechanics, psychology, etc.

Translated into human language, it is - I have not studied any of the above subjects systematically in schools or institutions, and I have no relevant qualifications, but I am all interested.

At the same time, at the top of the book it reads:

It took the author 4 years to go deep into the psychiatric department of the hospital, the Ministry of Public Security and many other mysterious institutions, and was able to have direct contact with hundreds of "abnormal human beings", and finally produced the first interview notes of mental patients in China.

The suggestions on the shelves are: psychology and social science.

The book claims to be true, but in essence, it is just a brain text that cannot stand up to in-depth investigation.

The content inside is unscientific, not rigorous, unprofessional, and untrue.

The real mentally ill are also different from what he creates.

However, Meng Shi is a "fun person" who is happy with all kinds of pictures, as long as it is fun.

Moreover, Meng Shi embedded a skeleton into those fragmentary and brain-open words.

Let the characters and stories in the book become decoration-like existences.

"Genius on the left, madman on the right." Ren Hu softly read out the eight words on the cover.

"How does it feel?"

When Meng Shi was a child, he basically followed his grandparents in Yaoshan during the summer vacation, and he practiced calligraphy, and the soft and hard pens were still alive.

Every year the ancestral hall will gather with the same sect, seven or eight years old Meng Shi, to the ancestral hall door placed in the welcome registration position to sit, grandpa standing behind him, while signing up for him to remember, while accepting the praise of others.

Now that I think about it, that time of year should be the happiest time for Grandpa.

It's just that later, the older Meng Shi grows, the less he goes.

Meng Shi was stunned and wrote another line of small words next to it - this story is pure fiction, don't take it seriously.

Ren Hu picked up the script and looked at it carefully, and sighed, "Director Meng has practiced this word." ”

Meng Shi smiled and said, "Okay, don't be afraid of sycophants, how many catties and taels do I have, I know in my heart, I'm asking how the title of the play is." ”

Calligraphy is to sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and his current level is more beautiful than ordinary people.

But if you have time, pick up what Grandpa taught.

"I can still see it after practicing." Ren Hu also laughed and said, "There is no problem with these eight words as the title of the play." ”

"Then it's decided." Meng Shi put down the pen and asked Zhang Zheng, "Try it now?" ”

Ren Hu opened the script and asked, "Which paragraph?" ”

Meng Shi casually pointed to the first scene, "That's it, Tang Ping and Xiao Bai both play a try." ”

Ren Hu was eager to try, but in front of Zhang Zheng, he made a reluctant look, frowned and said, "I'll take a ride for a thousand miles?" ”

Meng Shi didn't pierce it, nodded and said, "Then Brother Ren work hard." ”

Each director has his own style.

Ren Hu wanted to hold the point, and he was willing to cooperate.

The director is here, the screenwriter is here, there is a script, and there are people to play.

Zhang Zheng experienced this form of audition for the first time.

Before this moment, he was not even qualified to watch this scene.

Zhang Zheng exhaled deeply, his chest rose and fell twice, he raised his hand to brush his half-wet hair, took off his suit jacket and threw it on the shelf next to him.

He unbuttoned the two buttons on his white shirt and said, "Director Meng, Director Ren, can I take another look at this paragraph?" ”

The script was in his hands in Changping, and he read it all the way back to the car.

And this kind of audition does not require memorization of lines, you can take the script.

But he still felt that he needed to watch it again.

"Then let's go rub a hot pot, you see first, when you're ready to call us, don't worry."

Meng Shi believes that Zhang Zheng knows very well what this opportunity means.

didn't give much advice, casually put the script on the table in front of him, and took Ren Hu to the hot pot.

Zhang Zheng's hands were very clean and refreshing, but he still rubbed his pants, and then picked up the script and carefully turned the first page.

There's only one paragraph on this page –

The first half of your life may have belonged to someone else,

Live in what others think.

Give yourself back the rest of your life,

Go follow your inner voice.

——

Zhang Zheng is thirty-one years old, and when he saw this passage for the second time, he couldn't help but feel excited.

His daughter was just born this year, and it was far from time for him to follow his heart.

However, Meng Shi lit a lamp in his heart.

So he carefully guarded it and didn't let it go out.

Zhang Zheng knew that such selfishness had put his wife Shi Minrui under pressure that she shouldn't have suffered, and it also added a lot of worries to the elders on both sides.

But Meng Shi, who lit the lamp of his heart, still did not give up on him after all.

Zhang Zheng adjusted his mood and turned the next page.

1. Interior view, Xiao Bai's office - daytime

The sunlight shining through the smoke shone on the windows, turning brownish.

Twenty-seven-year-old Xiao Bai stood in a corner of this small room on the second floor.

He looked up at the ceiling, then at the badly worn wooden floor, then at the rolled wallpaper.

There was a knock on the door.

Nurse Xiao Lin pushed open the door and came in: "Doctor Xiao, there is a patient who has been evaluated by the hospital today, and the director asked you to come over."

Xiao Bai's gaze withdrew from the wallpaper and smiled: Okay, I'll go over right away.

2. Interior view, ward – daytime

Xiao Bai came to the ward and leaned against the wall.

The director pointed out the window and said to 23-year-old Tang Ping: What do you see outside?

Tang Ping, who was wearing a hospital gown, got up from the hospital bed and opened the curtains.

Outside the wall, two women with beautiful faces walked by.

Tang Ping put his face on the glass window, stared at the outside with burning eyes, and said: Beautiful, too beautiful.

The director asked: Tell me from the heart, what are you thinking now?

Tang Ping was short of breath and said: I want to take off her shirt.

The nurse behind Tang Ping said: Hooligans.

The director nodded and ticked the document in his hand, and said to the nurse: This already has the thinking of a normal person.

The director asked Tang Ping: What's next?

Tang Ping was shy, and said with catering: I will take off her shoes and take off her socks.

The director had a smile on his face and asked, "What's next?"

Tang Ping closed his eyes and said, "I'll take off her pants."

Director asked: And then.

Tang Ping was embarrassed, leaned his head on the director's shoulder, and said: Take off her pants.

The director put his arm around Tang Ping's shoulders and encouraged: What happened later?

Tang Ping whispered in the director's ear and said in one breath: I will pull out the monkey skin band in her pants, and I will make a slingshot to hit the glass of your house.

Xiao Bai, who was leaning against the wall, and the nurse beside him laughed.

The director let go of Tang Ping's shoulder, pushed him out, got up and walked out, and said to the nurse next to him: Xiao An, increase the amount of medicine.

2. Interior view, ward – daytime

Xiao Bai sat down beside Tang Ping and handed him a cigarette: the place is like a quagmire, the longer you stay, the deeper you will fall.

Tang Ping didn't speak, looking out the window.

Outside the window, a middle-aged man in his forties put his hand on the branch of a sapling, and after a few seconds, he got up irritably and walked to another tree.

There was a police car parked next to the tree.

Tang Ping asked Xiao Bai: What is he doing here?

Xiao Bai looked out the window and said: He is a biologist, schizophrenia causes auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations......

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the voice of Ma Qianli of the criminal police team sounded in the distance: Doctor Xiao, there is another murderer here who claims to be mentally ill, can you help us evaluate it......

——

Zhang Zheng unconsciously watched two and a half scenes before he woke up suddenly and realized that the audition Meng Shi was talking about was not here.

immediately stopped the idea of watching from the beginning, and flipped the script to the place where Ren Hu folded the corner.

——

26. Interior view, Xiao Bai's office - daytime

Midday.

When Tang Ping was about to go to find Yumo, the police car roared in.

Ma Qianli hugged the briefcase and went straight to Xiao Bai's office.

Tang Ping turned around and followed to see the excitement.

Ma Qianli hurriedly handed over the information to Xiao Bai: "Doctor Xiao, look at the information, I'm really out of options." The mayor gave us five days to solve the case, and in five days, he thought that the case was written to write a report! ”

Xiao Bai rubbed his sleepy eyes: "I could have gotten off work a long time ago, and I haven't left, because I know that you will definitely look for me." I said, Captain Ma, didn't you arrange police forces to check the passing vehicles on the main road? Why did you let him run away again?

Ma Qianli said helplessly: He shot and changed places, this time at the fork of the main road of the provincial Zhengbei Expressway. It's already an out-of-town city, and we don't have a police presence there. I doubt he'll ever abscond after his corpse.

Xiao Bai opened the information and began to focus on looking at the new photos of the pao corpse scene: "I made up for sleep in the morning, I didn't watch the news, you can talk about the situation first."

Ma Qianli gritted his teeth and said: This scene was not discovered by anyone, but the murderer himself called the police to tell us, it is really arrogant to the extreme!

……

Ren Hu put a chopstick shrimp slide into the oil dish, suddenly remembered something, looked back at the lounge, and said to Meng Shi:

"Two days ago, Hu Xiaotao didn't know where he heard that there was a play to be opened here, and he asked someone to arrange his little girlfriend to try out the play tonight."

Meng Shi picked up the fritters he had just put down and said, "What role?" ”

Ren Hu held up his chopsticks and said with a little doubt: "I originally wanted to arrange a nurse with lines, but now this ......"

Meng Shi held the bowl, "What's wrong, it's one thing for us to have a conflict with Hu Xiaotao, it's another thing for an actor to audition, do you have contact information?" ”

Ren Hu was stunned by what he said, nodded and said, "I have her contact information, but it's ......."

Meng Shi put down the dishes and chopsticks, patted Ren Hu on the shoulder, and said: "We have to distinguish between public and private, know no, we can't implicate the people around him because of a person's fault, maybe Hu Xiaotao's girlfriend will take off with this role, aren't we ruining her?" ”

Ren Hu held the bowl and chopsticks, like an emoji, and said in a daze: "Then I will call her to inform her that she has time to come to audition?" ”

"That's right." Meng Shi nodded, "I'll notify you now, it's okay to arrange time for the audition." ”

Bai Guo, the manager of the marketing department, said with a smile: "I didn't expect Director Meng to be so broad-minded. ”

"You listen to his nonsense." Qin Qingxue rolled her eyes, met Meng Shi with an innocent expression, and said, "This thing just wants to disgust Hu Xiaotao." ”
