I had something I could only dream of, something I had held back for a long time; I didn't mention it to anyone until one day the devil came quietly and told me in a soft voice, "Just do it."

Stephen- King (Stephen King) is a famous contemporary American science fiction and horror novelist. Almost all the movies adapted from his novels are super-selling movies. "The Running man" starring Schwarzenegger was released in mainland China in the 1980s, and "Pets Cemetery" (Pets Cemetery) was broadcast in the video studio in the early years. Carrie, the witch, won Oscar-nominated "Misery" (1987), 2003's "Dream Catcher", and many highlights from the long-running American TV series "The X File" Chapters are written by this master.

Stephen King is known by the film industry as a master of horror and science fiction, but he has another type of work that integrates his observations and reflections on issues such as human nature, morality, and religion. For example: 1992 TV Movie - "Storm of Century" (Storm of Century), tells the story of a deal between man and the devil, the plot is fascinating, the suspense climax after another. "Green Mile" (1996), about the friendship and affection between jailers and prisoners, was nominated for an Academy Award in 2001.

"Favorite Things" is also a representative work of Stephen King's alternative works. It's about a well-dressed and learned old gentleman who came to a quiet town and opened a small gift shop in town called "Needful Thing", which gave all the customers in town They brought what they each wanted: a baseball star autographed card for a kid, a horse racing toy for a lost businessman's childhood wish, a china doll for a woman abused by her husband, a priceless gemstone necklace for a police officer's wife . . . But the arrival of the old gentleman also broke the tranquility of the town, and murders and many bizarre incidents happened one after another! ! Who is this weak old man? Why did he come to this town, he brought the Needful Thing to the people, and what did he want?

This is the story of a small town that connects a lot of people, who used to live in peace, but inexplicably happened a series of absurd events that made outsiders seem ridiculous! The audience is a bystander, and often "awake" earlier, but The devil has never left, and not even God knows what will happen next. Could it be said that without the appearance of the devil, there is no God who saves the souls of mankind! Does it mean that people are born with the fate of being punished? ? Is it necessary to constantly review yourself every day in order to achieve physical and mental peace? ?

"Customers are not gods, be careful to be played by ghosts!"
