Chapter 17 "This Man Comes from Earth"
Chapter 17 "This Man Comes from Earth"
"This Man Is From Earth" only needs a simple scene, and a few knowledgeable characters hold up a nearly 90-minute movie. The words of the original book are about geological changes, religious discussions, and analysis of human nature. These contents, which originate from the mouths of the six characters, seem to have really become a picture scroll in front of every audience. A caveman who has witnessed the changes of mankind for 14,000 years stands in front of all people, and there are always endless secrets in him.
The original version claims to be a caveman who has survived for 14,000 years, has had the opportunity to follow Columbus on a voyage, has been a neighbor of Van Gogh, and is a clear and logical thinker, often alone to argue with several other friends who are also professors. At the climax of the film, the protagonist even said that he had studied with the Buddha and returned to the Roman Empire 500 years later, becoming a Christ. The unexpected New Testament stunned those present, there were no technological weapons, no time travel, no magical metal, and some were just wonderful performances, telling the story of an immortal man in a soft science fiction form.
And Zhang Li modified some places, after all, for flower growers, you have to say that God is not as good as Sanqing, and Rome is not as good as Han, this is the difference in culture. If you say King Arthur's words, I guess the other party blurted out Saber.
At the shooting scene, in the face of everyone's doubts, Zhang Li slowly told his story.
"I was born during the Suihuang period, and I was originally just an ordinary person, but when I went out hunting, I saw a very large pit on the ground, and the pit was like a footprint. And there is a fruit tree in it, but it is not any fruit tree in this world. There was a fruit on the fruit tree, and I ate it out of curiosity. After that, time seemed to stop, I didn't get old, just like Qiao Shan said, it can make people have a perfect metabolism. ”
"And how did you live after that?"
"Because I won't grow old, I am afraid of being regarded as a monster by everyone, so I began to travel between various tribes, and I remember that I once used the pseudonym Limu to help Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor fight against Chi You. ”
"What? Are you a Li Mu? Did the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor really ascend to heaven by a dragon?"
"I don't know. ”
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I won't get old, I won't stay in another place for a long time, so I also left Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor after chasing the deer. I heard about it at the time, but I didn't know if it was true or not. ”
"And what did you do then?"
"A lot, in the summer, it was Taikang who was in power at that time. But Taikang's guy only cared about playing and didn't care about political affairs, so I took the right under the pseudonym Hou Yi, but after that, I found that I didn't have political ability, so I found a stand-in and left. ”
"What! Taikang lost the country, you are Hou Yi, my God!"
"Don't make a noise, keep talking. ”
once incarnated as Duke Zhou to assist the king, and also became Guan Zhong to help Xiaobai become the overlord.
"But then I got tired of the war and took refuge in the mountains. During the Qin Dynasty, I don't know what happened, Qin Shi Huang found me. At that time, Qin Shi Huang was eloquent and strategic, so I chatted with him. But unfortunately, when I went out of the mountain again, Qin Shi Huang was already dead, and the people in the world were in turmoil at that time, so I found a successor to pass on my knowledge to him, and that person was named Zhang Liang at that time. ”
"Slow down!" Lao Xue suddenly stopped, and said with a strange expression, "How can I hear this paragraph so familiarly! How does this look like the story of Qin Shi Huang and An Qisheng, as well as Huang Shigong and Zhang Liang." ”
"Yes, at that time, my name was indeed An Qisheng, and I met a man named Li Shaojun when I was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and I saw that he was smart so I taught some knowledge and tricks, who knew that he was so bold that he went to brag in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”
Everyone is booing each other, this is too nonsense!
But I heard Zhang Li continue: "Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally found me on his deathbed, and he asked me if I could live forever, and I didn't understand what was going on and how to make others immortal, so I just fooled him a few words." Then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked me how many generations the Han Dynasty could be passed on, I saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, and in addition to Li Shaojun's deception of him, he also said that the national fortune of the Han Dynasty was about 400 years, and although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that the Han Dynasty could not be passed on to ten thousand generations, it was not bad to have 400 years, so he died. ”
Everyone was stunned by Zhang Li's story, but Zhang Li continued to say it.
"After that, because I fooled Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said that the Han Dynasty was about 400 years, I have been secretly observing the Han Dynasty, and if there is a danger of destroying the country, I will come out, so when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, I joined Liu Xiujun under the pseudonym Deng Yu to help Liu Xiu re-establish the Han Dynasty. ”
Again, the crowd was speechless.
"Later, I also understood that the world must be divided for a long time, and the rise and fall of the dynasty cannot be changed by one or two people. For those who are born careerists, just give them a little introduction, and they will do something. I don't care about all the grievances and grievances in the world, the rise and fall of the dynasty, and I have always placed my affection on the mountains and rivers. So after that, I didn't care about the disputes in the world, but went to drink and discuss martial arts with Li Bai, Du Fu, Pei Min, watch the peerless dance of Gongsun Auntie, listen to Liu Sanchang's "Wanghai Tide, Southeast Shape Victory", and personally see how the Qingming Shanghe Diagram was born. ”
......
With Zhang Li's continuous narration, the historical changes of the flower planters slowly appeared in front of everyone. These things are easy to come by, as if they are really personal experience, and there are no flaws in the details.
With the questions and answers of the protagonist and those colleagues, the filming slowly transitioned to the end, and gradually, everyone seemed to believe the protagonist's words and seriously thought about it, could what the protagonist said be true?
When the last question was asked, everyone believed Zhang Li's words, but Zhang Li clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Hey, the story is finished, do you think it's still exciting?"
"What? These are just stories, you made them up?" everyone was taken aback again, and the camera swept over everyone, everyone's eyes widened, obviously not accepting this fact.
Zhang Li said with some amusement: "You gave me an idea, all of you." From pointing at these fake furniture with a knife, to Qiao Shan putting forward a hypothesis of immortality. So I wanted to try to tell a bizarre story to see if you could refute me, to see how you reacted. The truth though, I'm a little too far away. But it's just a story! And my car is coming, so now I'm leaving, so everyone should go home!"
Everyone saw that it was already dusk, and a big truck was parked outside the house. Zhang Li lifted a box and smiled at everyone: "Is there anyone willing to help me move things, as the reward for this storytelling." You know, I really spent a lot of brain cells to fool you!"
Everyone smiled helplessly, they were really deceived by him. So, several people also began to help Zhang Li move things downstairs, and after a while, all the boxes were moved.
"What about your furniture?" Zhao Xiaodao suddenly asked.
"Don't do it, donate it to charity, you can find it anywhere anyway. Zhang Li said casually, as if he didn't care at all, it seemed to be a bunch of fakes.
"It's a pity, although it's all fakes, but it really seems to be real. Zhao Xiaodao was a little reluctant.
Zhang Lihe smiled: "If you like it, take it." Anyway, I didn't tell the charity how many things there were, they won't come tomorrow to pick them up, you can take as much as you want. And you too, if you look like something in this house, try to take it as much as you can, as a parting gift!"
When they heard this, they were overjoyed. Although it is a fake, it is also a pleasure to hold such a real "fake".
After that, everyone said goodbye, and Zhang Li left in the car. And the rest of the people all returned to Zhang Li's house and began to choose what they liked.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaodao suddenly exclaimed: "This is indeed true, not a fake!"
"What?" Everyone was surprised again, only to see Zhao Xiaodao pointing to a gap on the sandalwood coffee table and said: "Paints, patterns, and carvings can be faked, but this wood cannot, look here, judging from the degree of oxidation of this wood, it is absolutely impossible without hundreds of years!"
......
More and more furniture was proved to be genuine, and everyone was confused again, if one or two things were fakes, it proved that Zhang Li was lucky to find a real antique, but he used it as a fake by unknown people. But what does that mean when the room is full of genuine products?
The camera swept over everyone again, and everyone's faces showed a deep look of confusion, incomprehension, and disbelief.
With this scene as the end of the movie, the movie can be said to end somewhat inexplicably, without explaining whether what the protagonist said is true or false. If it's true, then why does the protagonist end up saying it's a story, but if it's fake, then where do these genuine antiques come from?
This is a suspense deliberately left by Zhang Li, the protagonist of the original movie admitted it at the end, and one of the old professors is still the son of the protagonist, Zhang Li felt that it was a bit too exaggerated, so he changed it.
