Chapter 106: Descendants of Yan and Huang
RNG!
..............................
"This Man is from Earth", an independent film with a total investment of only 10,000 meters of gold, was released in 2007.
The film is about John, a 35-year-old Harvard history professor, who resigns, and several of his colleagues and friends come to see him off, and then, in John's home, where historians, religious scholars, biologists, and psychologists gather in an environment in which John tells everyone that he is actually a man who has lived for 14,000 years.
As a result, many scholars debated the question of whether he lived 14,000 years ago, and various questions were asked, and he answered them one by one, and a shortened version of the history of human civilization was shown in his answers......
The film is defined as a science fiction movie, but many people disagree because there isn't a single sci-fi-related shot in it.
This movie is regarded as the movie bible by many people, and some people even think that it has gone beyond the scope of movies, of course, many more people don't think about it, and just think that it is a boring bad movie made of dialogue that makes people want to sleep.
Of course, no matter what you say, the film was a success, both at the box office, in terms of topicality, and in terms of its impact on the festival.
It has even influenced quite a few filmmakers, who have since made many films that are very similar to it, and of course, without exception, these latecomers have failed.
Why do you say this? Because the script made by this student who is preparing for filming is also a tribute to "This Man Comes from Earth".
This directing student did not put the script in the history of human development, but in the history of China's development, and his brain hole is not small, saying that it is the history of China's development, but adding mythological content to it.
Here's the general outline of the story.
Several college students were unhappy because of their own unsatisfactory results, so they met in a small restaurant to drink and drown their sorrows.
Some of these students are studying religion, literature, and, of course, history.
In the process, I don't know if I drank too much, a student blurted out, "You must know that the current society will become like this, I shouldn't have left you descendants in the first place!"
Well, the conflict arose.
Because this sentence caused a conflict, it naturally led to the identity of that person, and as a result, he told several other people that he was actually the legendary Yellow Emperor.
At this point, this script finally justifies itself, because several people came to the restaurant to drink, and they all drank high, so they didn't take each other's words as a joke, but grabbed this conversation and started a debate, such an explanation is okay, and the story unfolds.
The specific content is actually the same as "This Man is from Earth", and several other students started from their majors and raised all kinds of questions, wanting to prove that he was not the Yellow Emperor at all, but just blowing.
And he answered all kinds of questions they asked.
In this process, there are various myths and legends into it, but he uses scientific theories to answer them one by one.
Some of these questions and answers are jokes found on the Internet, and some are brains created by the students of the directing department themselves, and they are all okay anyway.
After arguing all the way, the other students said that their mouths were dry, but they found that there was really no way to argue with each other, but they themselves actually began to believe more and more that the other party was really the legendary Emperor Xuanyuan.
Then, at the end of the story, it was also like "This Man is from Earth", making a scene outside of dialogue.
In "This Man Comes from Earth", it is the man who claims to have lived fourteen thousand years by recognizing a man who appears to be older than him among several other colleagues as his son, and accurately stating his past, which is equivalent to proving that the man really lived for fourteen thousand years.
And at the end of this script in Zhang Bufan's hands, it is another story.
Only at the beginning of the story, the restaurant owner who served food and wine to a few students came to a few people at this time, and said with a smile to the person who called himself the Yellow Emperor, I didn't expect to see you again after thousands of years.
A few other students wondered, who are you?
The boss replied, Actually, I am Emperor Yan.
Well, there is a Yellow Emperor anyway, what is there if there is another Yan Emperor?
A few students didn't bother to confirm with him, but one of the students asked another question curiously, according to legend, your Yandi tribe should have been conquered by his Yellow Emperor tribe by force, right?
As a result, the boss of the family replied with a smile, what kind of tribal merger and the like, in fact, I let him, I just think that it is too tiring and annoying to be the head of so many people, so I just found such an excuse to rest and rest, otherwise, I am called Shennong, and I am still a cook, just make two poisonous dishes and kill him?
And so ends the story......
"Hey Uncle Tian, I think it's a waste of talent for you, a student, not to write a novel. Zhang Bufan patted the notebook in his hand and teased.
Tian Zhuangzhuang ignored his ridicule, took a sip of wine, and asked, "How is it?"
"Thoughts?" Zhang Bufan hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth, "I feel that I can only describe it in two words, nonsense!"
Looking at Tian Xiangxiang drinking, he was also thirsty, thinking about not taking liquor, he took a bottle of Coke, poured two sips, and said: "I have seen "This Man is from Earth", although it is also derived from a fait accompli in reverse, but people's questions and answers are all real scientific truths, and it can be regarded as using science to persuade science, even so, if there is no ending to recognize the son, it is still difficult to convince the vast majority of people. ”
"What about this?" Zhang Bufan patted the book again, "There are so many myths and stories, and he forcibly wants to use science to round those myths, but he himself is not a person who learns those sciences, and he probably didn't really check the information, but he just got some information from places like Du Niang and used it, and as a result, it seems to be quite interesting to look at, but in fact it is nondescript." ”
"Also, it's all more serious dialogue, but in the end, it's like this, is it trying to prove something like "This Man is from Earth"? Unfortunately, it can't prove it. Do you want to get some comedy effect? But the front is so serious and the back is so comedy, it obviously doesn't match. Do you want to reverse it? Use this boss to prove that the student is actually? But it's hard to believe in the front, what are you reversing? Anyway......
said a lot, and finally made a summary, "Let me say, this script is a four-way dislike, and if you want to shoot it according to this book, it can only be a bad movie." ”
