Director's Commentary Version
Medical Center.
Self-service restaurant.
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
Liz asked incredulously, "So red that you have a high fever?"
"Not an exaggeration at all."
Cristina joked, "When she met Dr. Shepherd, she just fanned herself to cool down, but when she met Adam, fanning herself to cool down had no effect at all. Her face turned as red as if it were bleeding, her breathing became rapid, and she started to feel dizzy."
"Adam isn't Michael Jackson!"
George said speechlessly, "Did someone actually faint from excitement while watching him?"
"You can accept fans fainting because of Michael Jackson's songs and dances, but you can't accept female patients blushing, getting high fevers, and dizziness because Adam is too handsome and too attractive?"
Cristina asked in surprise, "Aren't they all sick?"
"You'll get beaten up if you say that."
Adam interrupted, "Alright, let's stop with this pointless talk. Meredith, did you bring Dr. Grey's videotapes and medical notes?"
"I brought several videotapes with me."
Meredith frowned. "Are you sure this will work?"
"Worth a try."
Adam frowned. "Only a few discs? Only videotapes? No medical notes?"
"Bring a few plates to try first."
Meredith's eyes flashed. "Too many are inconvenient to carry."
"Um?"
Adam raised an eyebrow.
Something's wrong with Meredith.
Is it because they don't want to hand over these precious surgical videotapes to 'aid the enemy'?
There are also medical notes.
Adam couldn't believe that the legendary female doctor Alice Grey would have left no medical notes at all.
Meredith not only obscured the issues with the medical notes, but he was unwilling to even mention them.
The problem here is clearly much bigger.
But on second thought, Adam could understand.
If Meredith truly has the intention of not wanting to 'aid the enemy'.
Therefore, medical notes are clearly more valuable than surgical videotapes.
Why?
These surgical videotapes are selected copies of Alice Grey's surgeries performed in various locations; the originals are actually kept in the hospitals.
If you're willing to collect them, you can actually get your hands on them.
But medical notes are different.
That was Alice Grey's personal summary, which must have contained her summaries of various surgeries, as well as some of her visions for cutting-edge and groundbreaking surgeries.
Once you meet the right person, like Adam.
If you thoroughly understand the content and diligently research those cutting-edge and groundbreaking surgical ideas, you may very well be able to create a series of entirely new surgical techniques that bear your own name.
It caused a sensation around the world.
Forging a legend.
This is the real treasure.
If it were Adam, he would most likely have kept it a secret as well.
However, understanding is one thing.
This trend must not be allowed to continue!
Adam narrowed his eyes, his mind flashing through various schemes to get Meredith to 'willingly' hand over the medical notes.
Meredith lowered his head guiltily, avoiding eye contact with Adam.
She hadn't even considered this aspect.
To aid the enemy?
She's not like Cristina's bursting with ambition.
She had no intention of competing with Adam at all.
The reason she was so vague and unwilling to talk was because last night when she went back and looked through her mother's surgical videotapes and medical notes piled up at home, she discovered a shocking secret.
Her mother also had a lover.
Well, she didn't know why she said "also".
But that's not the point.
The key point is that it seems her father's departure from her back then can't be entirely blamed on him.
And the fourth party between the parents was none other than Richard, the Chief of Surgery!
Her medical notes would occasionally include details about her mother and Richard smoking cigarettes, which even made this seasoned Experienced Women, who was 100% Drunk and Losing Pants, blush.
And most of the time, it was her mother who took the initiative.
How could she publicly display such a disgrace to her family?
If someone is familiar with her and has read her mother's medical notes, wouldn't they have some unpleasant associations?
For example: like begets like...
She quickly put these distracting thoughts behind her.
"Director..."
Meredith felt terrible at the thought that her respected uncle was actually this kind of person.
"Adam, are you really going to take the surgical videotape to Dr. Grey for advice?"
Liz cautioned, "She does have Alzheimer's Disease's, after all. Even if she remembers the medical information, if she says something wrong, and you follow suit, wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
"Yes."
George chimed in, "That's irresponsible towards the patient. How dare you!"
"It doesn't matter."
Adam laughed and said, "I can tell right from wrong myself, but what you said makes sense. To be more responsible to the patients, you shouldn't get involved. After all, how dare you!"
George and Liz paused for a moment.
"Ha ha."
Cristina couldn't help but laugh, "This is a precious surgical videotape with the Director's Commentary Version. Are you sure you don't want to watch it together?"
Adam gave her an approving look.
The Director's Commentary Version of the metaphor is quite interesting.
United States films are produced in a producer-centric system, and most directors do not have final cut rights.
The importance of editing goes without saying.
The same movie, edited differently, can convey two completely opposite meanings.
When a film is released, the theatrical version that reflects the producer's wishes is shown.
Often, directors are very dissatisfied with this, feeling that the theatrical release is garbage and doesn't reflect the profound meaning they wanted to convey.
In order to make a living, many companies are willing to give directors a chance after the theatrical release, allowing them to release their own director's cut or a director's commentary version, and then use this gimmick to sell videotapes like crazy.
After all, if it's exactly the same as the theatrical release, why should people who have already seen the movie spend so much more money to buy the videotape?
Even worse are those companies that have completely lost their integrity. They add a few seconds, tens of seconds, or even minutes of scenes that were cut from the theatrical release, and then claim that watching them will provide a completely different experience, re-releasing them in theaters to rake in huge profits.
In the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and his friends, whether it's the new theatrical release with a few dozen seconds added, or the director's cut videotape, or the director's commentary videotape, all have their own opinions on it.
They never miss out on a film if the production company is willing to sell.
Spending money to watch or buy things, writing reviews and comments online, and discussing with fans is always a standard procedure.
Why?
It's just that Sheldon and his ilk are obsessed with it.
Let's get back to the surgical videotape.
This was recorded in real time; there was no editing involved.
However, different doctors have completely different understandings when watching surgical videotapes.
Some are deep, some are shallow.
It's like a theatrical release edited by countless producers with varying abilities.
The projection effect is entirely related to one's own capabilities.
The surgeon on the surgical videotape was Alice Grey. If you add Alice Grey's own commentary, it's practically a director's commentary version.
For doctors who are truly passionate about medicine and have ambition and drive, the Director's Commentary Version of a precious surgical videotape is an extremely rare find.
Because this version has a lower limit.
Even the least capable person, as long as they honestly follow along and learn, will not be too bad once they master the skills.
