Chapter 196: Manifesting the Mandate of Heaven
"The preparation for 1733 began, and the director and I were not good at writing scripts, so most of us would skip the script and start storyboarding. However, Director Sun also said that you can make a rough outline of the plot of each episode first, and then try to draw it. ”
"You're not good at writing scripts, but I remember your name written on the screenwriting position at 3999 Animation. ”
"It's just a name...... When I did 3999, I didn't even write a rough outline, and I went straight to the storyboard......"
"Okay, just do what you do best. ”
"Hmm. Did you read "Eternal Hell" I said yesterday?"
"There are other things in between, and I've only seen half of it. ”
"Then I'll talk about it when you're done. ”
"Oh yes, since you've told them all about the core melody, why don't you give them this audio as well. ”
"It's ...... Edmund they're so fast?"
"It's just a demo, the version that Ni Xianshen has just repaired, and it will be changed after visual inspection, so let's give SIN a background to the atmosphere now, and you can say what you think. ”
"Okay, do you have a name? ”
"It's still undecided, and Edmund insists on calling it 'Manifest Destiny,' but the term is a bit sensitive. ”
"Americans' Destiny Expansionism? That's ...... indeed."
Zhao Zhao Mandate of Heaven, also known as Manifest Destiny Theory and Destiny of Nature, may seem like a Sino-Japanese style word, but in fact it is a political aphorism born in the United States.
The concept it originally expressed was "to expand externally by virtue of the Mandate of Heaven and to spread one's own beliefs and theories", which was a very offensive concept of American religion.
As the times changed and the radical expansion sentiment of the nineteenth century waned, so did the scope of the term's application.
From the "predestined expansion" that originally belonged only to the United States, to the "predestined expansion" that can be applied to any top power.
- "Believing that one's own system is superior to others, hoping to save and rebuild the world with one's own ideas, and finally giving all these actions the name of 'Destiny'." ”
Without looking at its origins, the term does perfectly describe the arrogant but authentic "anthropocentrism" of the SCP Foundation.
All choices and sacrifices are for a better world and for the "supreme destiny of mankind".
"Let's see, if there's no better one, it's not bad to use this. Guan Li finally said, ending the daily conversation.
Ye Lingxing looked at the audio file he sent, put on the headphones, and then clicked on the file to open it.
Although it is not working time, he also wants to try not to disturb other people.
So......
The tentative name is "Manifest Destiny" and it starts playing.
He imagined what kind of music SCP Foundation would have to go with.
Magnificent or tragic?
Invigorating or soothing?
Several times the rhythm of the music in the brain was broken up, and it could not fit the image of the Foundation in mind.
It should be deeper and more arrogant.
Trying to create a "normal world" ruled by humans by fighting all the gods, demons, monsters, and more incredible things with mortal power, and denouncing them as "anomalies that shouldn't exist".
The Foundation is so arrogant, because humans are so arrogant.
If you can't accept a creature more powerful than us, then imprison and slaughter them.
If we are unable to understand phenomena beyond our understanding, then deny them and erase them.
If we can't tolerate what threatens us, let's build an indestructible wall.
Containment, Containment, Protection.
Glory to the Foundation, the world belongs to human civilization.
- This is the destiny of heaven!
Ye Lingxing closed his eyes in the magnificent movement, and in a trance he caught a glimpse of the colossal shadow hidden under the horizon, supporting tens of billions of hustle and bustle in the darkness.
Remorse and atonement, freedom and salvation, sacrifice and reincarnation......
How can a single piece of music write the story of the Foundation?
It can only sketch a hazy outline, a generalized impression.
Then it was emphasized again and again in countless subsequent works, and was attached to the story with emotion, becoming a key to reflexive memories.
Perfect.
Even if it hadn't reached its ultimate form yet, Ye Lingxing still wanted to say so.
Perfect melody.
I don't know who wrote the main theme, if it was Edmund, he must have played extraordinarily, if it was Ni Xianshen......
It's really a fairy!
The use of music to elevate the expressiveness of the whole work to several levels is simply not a realm that human beings can reach.
Ye Lingxing, who was a half-man in every sense, had to bow down.
He seemed to understand a little bit of how Forbidden Yao felt.
- I thought my level was not bad, but I was completely crushed by a younger collaborator, which is really delicate.
The gap between the ordinary excellent and the genius of the near god is too obvious to make it difficult for any superfluous mind to arise.
Cleaning up his frustrated self-esteem, Ye Lingxing forwarded the audio to Sun Zhiyuan, and then continued to headache the adaptation of 1733.
Although the detailed script of each episode has been abandoned, it is still necessary to list which episode will talk about what content.
SCP-1733 - Season Start, the story should begin with a normal basketball game.
The game process is not the point, but if you need to show the details of the "replay", you have to work on the camera.
It is also possible to insert a specific time indication into the animation to give the viewer – mainly those who have not seen the original file – the hint that the event is repeating the cycle.
It's best to mark the number of plays in the upper left corner, and someone will soon guess what it means.
According to this idea, take the end of the schedule as the starting point, the time and the score are close-up, and the number in the upper left corner is 1.
Then insert the OP (opening song).
After the OP ended, the whole game was quickly replayed for a few minutes, and the score remained 0-0 for a long time, and the final score was different from before the OP, with the number 15 in the upper left corner.
This section should show the confusion and depression of the crowd a little, because they have inherited the vague memory fragments of the previous plays, and they are beginning to feel that the scene in front of them is familiar.
"Did we compare?"
With more and more hesitation and doubt, the passion for the game is gone.
For the 44th replay, the game did not take place, and the players told the team doctor that they dreamed about the game, many times, as if it had actually happened.
Commentators and viewers alike expressed the same feeling, and when reporters were ready to start interviewing them, the picture froze.
The number in the upper left corner changes to 45, and the picture returns to the beginning.
The people, who finally realized that something was wrong, gave up the game and everyone gathered on the pitch to start analyzing the current situation.
"Are we repeating the same game?"
Disbelief, angry and panicked, the crowd poured towards the stadium gates, but the doors could not be opened.
Desperate to escape this strange place, the people search for any way to break in, and just as they prepare to pry it open with their homemade weapons, the scene freezes again.
The number changed to 46, and everyone returned to where they had been at the beginning of the game, their expressions still frozen in the dazed and frightened expressions at the end of the previous reincarnation.
"SCP-1733 - Season start
End of schedule"
- Displays the episode title.
This is followed by ED (ending song).
The first episode is about these plots, and in order to keep the audience as much as possible, it is necessary to quickly reveal the setting and throw out the suspense.
Ye Lingxing swept the draft he typed, he was not too satisfied, it looked a little messy.
But later, I have to discuss the modification with Director Sun, and it's messy.
He got up and poured a glass of water, passed by a group of original artists who were drawing at their desks, and as soon as he returned to his seat, he saw someone sending him a message.
Wei Yu: "Go and watch the sixth episode of "Into the Stars"!
