bitter memories

Finished watching the reunion special during the weekend. I also heard some gossips about how much everyone was paid, and then reviewed the classic case of negotiation. Ross brought 5 people with Warner? Negotiations, and finally got equal pay and a raise, and ended a hot sitcom as friends, which is considered a good death.

I still remember the first night I saw my friends. At that time, I was in the foreign language junior high school. The teacher had a perverted and harsh pursuit of spoken English and the so-called "authentic" pronunciation. The teaching materials for us are also said to be the teachers of our school The self-written recording, called A Ticket To Tomorrow, is about a girl who came from the future to the present and an English teacher to explore the way back to the future, and then use English to experience modern life. At that time, they asked students to imitate every tone and pronunciation in the tape, so as to speak the real spoken English that can be used in life. Of course, I also need to learn English in the extracurricular cram school, and the teachers of the cram school probably borrowed a lot from New Oriental. They started a class called Learning Spoken Language from Movies, and that so-called movie is the classic textbook for school-aged children in China, Friends. I sneaked over to watch this class before I took it. I only remember that they put Ross and Rachel in the emotional entanglement scene in the third season, and a group of friends were gags in the cafe. The tone was varied and vivid, and the very textbook ATTT totally different. At that time, it had a big impact on me when I was young.

The plots that I used to love to pay attention to are not so attractive to me this time. One of the most impressive is the English learning crowd in various countries who said, we love Friends, it has brought changes to our lives. For example, there are people who get sick and watch the drama and hope, there are new women who propose to the man after watching monica, and there are people who learn English and think the drama is good.

The other is the on-screen couple rachel and ross, because of course the one I feel most involved in is the nerd in this so-called play, and I am also grateful for his final ending. Corden really asked a good question, that is, whether you handsome men and beauties will crush. Everyone said that of course we knew we would crush. I guess I was a little bit deeply into the times.

This reunion is really rare. I think the cast selection, character creation and script writing of this show are certainly well done, but in fact, it is not that audiences around the world can fall in love with it so deeply that they miss such a silver bullet as disaster. To me, its silver bullet is more like a desirable way of life/living state sorted out from the city life of a culturally powerful country. This is not the so-called "alternative" life choice in pluralism, but a higher and more desirable life: in a comfortable urban environment, you can communicate freely with others from the shallow to the deep , constantly colliding to generate new sparks; free, rich, frivolous and high-quality emotional state, filrt anyone without getting into troubles among handsome men and beauties, friends and even family members by your side will not judge you from ethics, And they all carry an atmosphere that values ​​distance and distance; a kind of multiculturalism that anyone can do anything, multiplying and eroding like tall buildings in a city, making people realize that life is not about climbing up from under a cliff, but a journey. Along the way with different colors of scenery.

However, in the process of growing up, I realized how many gaps a person needs to cross to reach a state of life that seems to be at your fingertips. A little too bitter. So much so that when I try to write about these setbacks now, I feel like I will be further away from this kind of life - like a friend said in 2021 that I was going back to Japan's bubble economy era, and he wanted to play a pro La Mazai was waving 10,000 yuan banknotes on the street to attract a steady stream of taxis.
