Chapter Twenty-Nine: What the Hell Are We Filming!(Chapter 4!)
Fang Long did have a feeling of being a cheater.
This was not the case when Shen Lang and Fang Long started talking about the script.
When talking about the script, Shen Lang told Fang Long that this character is very powerful, has absolute dominance, and at the same time has the power to pull out mountains and rivers and cover the world, and is the savior who can really turn all the situation around.
Fang Long believed it.
And then......
When the filming really started, Fang Long suddenly found that his camera was either repairing water pipes or on the way to repair water pipes, either on the way to repair water pipes or doing tricky work such as roof leak prevention.
The point is, you're doing such a cheating job, and you're still wearing a machine shell, and then you're being stared at by cameras from all sides.
This was the case for days on end......
Fang Long was a little dizzy......
What's this shooting?
He genuinely feels that what he shoots is different from what other people shoot.
"Brother Long......"
"Huh?"
"You are a half-human, half-machine being, if you are really serious, you are an artificial person, you are like a messenger of the "gods", the villagers pray to the "gods", and then, the "gods" will send you to fulfill the wishes of the villagers......"
"So, tell me, what do you mean by all these water pipes and stuff?"
"The villagers are praying that the water pipes will be repaired!"
"Can there be such a prayer?"
"Yes, the villagers live and work in peace and contentment in this village, and there are no major disasters, so this is the kind of thing that prays every day......
"Then when I came to repair it, the villagers didn't know? Repair it once a day, the villagers will find out about me sooner or later, isn't it a hard bug?"
"All the villagers have gone to pray, and you are all waiting for the villagers to come out to work while they are going to pray...... Moreover, you are a very powerful robot, you can sense the movements of everyone in the village and avoid them......" Shen Lang narrowed his eyes.
"Then how long will the plot of my cultivation last?" Fang Long suddenly didn't know what to say for a while, and was speechless for a long time before looking at Shen Lang.
"It would be nice to shoot another set of videos. ”
"Oh......" Fang Long looked at Shen Lang and looked down at something, and was very strange after drawing something, "What are you drawing?"
"Sketch the world!"
"This world?"
"Yes, this Egret Village and the Qinghe Town next to it are actually a huge temperature-controlled machine box, or you can understand that this is a huge petri dish, and there are cameras everywhere in this huge temperature-controlled machine box, and everyone here is kept in captivity in this machine box, living a peaceful life day by day......" Shen Lang showed a smile and narrowed his eyes.
"Captive?" Fang Long was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, although he had read Shen Lang's script before and understood that Shen Lang wanted to make a different movie, but the words captivity were really a bit excessive.
"Yes, you read that right, to put it mildly, all the people in this village and in the distant town are raised like pigs and dogs by a higher civilization...... Or in the consciousness of higher civilization, all the people in it are not worthy of being called "people", well, to give a simple example, just like the goldfish in the fish tank, we can look at the goldfish in the fish tank anytime and anywhere with the eyes of a higher creature, we feed the goldfish, and the goldfish wagging their tails and swim up to eat the fish food, but maybe the goldfish never feel that they are raised, or rather, they feel that the world they live in is originally a fish tank......
When Shen Lang said this, he handed a painting to Fang Long.
When Fang Long saw this painting, he was instantly stunned.
Shen Lang drew a cultivation [.] dish, then, there are two places on the petri dish, one is Qinghe Town, and the other is Bailu Village.
The Petri dish is lined with machines and an "artificial sun" on top of it, and the Petri dish is surrounded by "one-way glass", and around these one-way glasses is a huge video camera......
When he saw this scene, Fang Long was really stunned by Shen Lang's whimsical brain hole.
Unexpectedly......
And so it goes!
"So, the core idea of this movie is ......"
"There is one core idea, that is, would you like to enjoy a peaceful life in a world where you have everything, or would you abandon that happy life, challenge the theocracy, and then break your fears, and even risk your life to understand the true meaning of this world?" Shen Lang looked at Suo Fanglong with a smile.
"It's not difficult, is it?"
"No, Brother Long, you have to blend into this background, you don't know that you are in captivity, and you don't know that you are watched every day by everyone as a monkey in a zoo and a goldfish in a fish tank...... You're surrounded by people who believe in gods, and you've been instilled with one thing since you were born, and that's that this world has all-powerful gods, and if you believe in them, you'll see miracles, you'll have everything you need! For example, if there is a drought for a long time, and then you go to the altar with all the villages and pray, and then in less than an hour, it will rain in the sky, and if it rains so much, you will see that there will be a flood, and as soon as you pray, there will be a great sun in the sky!"
“......”
"The only information you can get from the outside world is a few televisions, and the content of the TV is either an oracle of the gods or a telling you that the outside is surrounded by an abyss of pain......
“......”
"In history, many people did not believe in evil and betrayed the gods and left this village, leaving this town, but these people never came back and have never been heard from...... Then, many ancient books also record a series of myths and legends, and this myth and legend is that you are all on a moving ark...... The old world has come to an end, the demons are raging outside, and you are the chosen ones of the new world, you are protected by the gods, and those who betray the gods must die......"
“......”
Night.
Deep.
In the office, Shen Lang stood up, his voice had an indescribable weirdness, and even a person like Fang Long, who was used to seeing the world, couldn't help but gasp when he saw all this.
Shen Lang's story is like Noah's Ark in the Bible.
"In this case, will you challenge the gods and find the truth of the world, or will you enjoy the blessings of the gods and finally simply live for generations, admonishing your fathers and then giving them to their children, telling them that this is life, this is life, this is the world that is destined?"
When he said this, Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Long.
"......" Fang Long was silent and fell into deep thought.
Oh, yes!
In this case, will he challenge the theocracy to find out the truth, or will he ......
Like our ancestors, how about living in this world in peace?
It seems like......
In the end, Fang Long shook his head.
Then, with a wry smile.
"I might ...... Even if I have the confidence to explore, I can't afford to lose my life...... Shen Lang, the subject matter of your movie is indeed very reflective......" Fang Long sighed slightly, and finally closed his eyes.
"In fact, even in modern society, there are always a few people who can really get out of their comfort zone and explore unknown places...... Even if you know that you don't have any skills when you go out, you won't starve to death, right? What's more, if you leave this village, you may have to risk your life and challenge that mysterious existence, right?" Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Well, yes......" Fang Long nodded, and then stood up, "Did I get discovered next as the script said?"
"Yes. ”
..........................................
The next morning.
"The World Only God Knows" officially started filming.
But......
The whole crew is very weird!
It's weird.
Except for a few core protagonists, the others simply don't know what they're filming......
The villagers don't know what they should do, they only know that the Shen Lang crew will give them money every day, and then they go to work in the fields as usual, occasionally a few photographers will pass by and let them take some poses, and then at night, under the organization of the crew and staff, there will be a small program such as a bonfire party, everyone sings and dances and has fun, in addition, the rest of the time they go home and watch TV with Erlang's legs crossed......
Other?
There's nothing else to do.
And a few actors who are slightly more important in the villagers are also confused.
In addition to working with the villagers and following Chu He to the altar to worship and pray every day, and doing some feudal superstitious things, they waited to get the money with the crew......
It's weird for them to have such days!
It's like making a movie, it's just a vacation, okay?
Speaking of vacations!
These tricks are even more confused.
They saw Shen Lang going in and out of the mountains every day, and then repaired and repaired, and after the repair, they invited these people to go to the mountains for a day trip for free as soon as possible, and when they arrived in the mountains, they found that Shen Lang's crew had built small cabins on the mountains......
Then, invite them to live in a wooden house for free......
Not to mention, it's really comfortable to live in this wooden house!
In addition to the wooden house, after another half a month, Shen Lang organized them to go to the reservoir on the mountain......
Shen Lang seems to have renovated the reservoir as well, inviting them to take a boat ride on the reservoir for free, and every day there will be more refreshing water entertainment projects on the side of the reservoir.
"Wait, what's going on? Director Shen invited us to make a movie, or did he pay us to play?"
"This day...... Is this really a movie?"
"Why don't we feel like making movies at all?"
“......”
After a few days of cooling, the group finally couldn't figure out what they were here for.
....................................
"Mr. Shen, are we really, making a movie?"
"We're just making a movie, when we make a movie, we instantly develop and develop tourism projects, this is called a combination of work and rest, isn't it?"
"Mr. Shen, I know it, Lao ...... How are these people eating, drinking, and playing around all day long, what are we filming?"
"I'm making a movie......
“......”
After a few more days, Zhao Yu finally felt confused.
