Taking advantage of the box office record of Walking with God, CJ sent a few more scripts, to see if Ding Cheng was interested?

"Suo Po He?"

Ding Cheng looked at a script, with a horror theme, but the content was quite interesting.

A young girl recounts a series of misfortunes that her twin sister has brought to her family: the girl's own calf was bitten by her sister in the womb and lame, her mother died in childbirth, and her father hanged himself soon after after he could not bear the blow.

Because her sister was born abnormally, her grandparents could only try their best to hide her existence, so she had to move frequently, and the girl showed an overflowing resentment towards her sister.

The protagonist plays the role of Pastor Park, who investigates folk sects on behalf of churches and Buddhist associations to find out what is unorthodox or illegal and makes a living.

I once stumbled upon a new sect of Buddhism called Sarnath Garden, which was not dedicated to any well-known Buddha or Bodhisattva, but was very rare to directly worship the four heavenly kings of the Buddhist protector gods.

In the process of in-depth investigation, he discovered that the Four Heavenly Kings were indeed their own people. Not only that, but these four people have also carried out a series of criminal acts against young girls, either explicitly or covertly.

Pastor Park then discovered that behind all this there is a legend that the head of the sect, Kim Emperor Shakti, has become a Buddha in the flesh. The evil deeds of the Four Heavenly Kings were instigated by the Golden Emperor Shakti, and in order for him to become Maitreya smoothly, he cut off the snakes that stood in his way.

Three of the four heavenly kings have been removed, and the last one has targeted the girl at the beginning of the film. Pastor Park is in a race against time to stop the last Heavenly King, find the Golden Emperor, and put an end to it all......

"This script is very bold!" Su Yao explained, "Frankly speaking, if you put it in other countries, it is almost impossible to sell high at the box office, but South Korea is an exception, because it is a place where miscellaneous teachings are rampant. ”

Ding Cheng was stunned, is there such a thing?

"The religious system here is very complex, from the shamanism of the peninsula itself, to the Northern Buddhism introduced from China during the Three Kingdoms period, to the Christian ...... that relied on the assembly curve to save the country during the Japanese occupation."

Su Yao said with a smile: "Multiple cultural systems are blended with each other, and all kinds of strange churches are blooming everywhere!"

"What New Heaven Church, Jehovah Youth Church, Holy Central Church, Regents, Grace Road Church, Unification Church......"

"While some of the names don't sound like good stubble, many have millions of followers. If you want to play the church here, you must not only know the shamanic dancing gods, the Buddhist scriptures and theories, but also the academic knowledge of the West, otherwise you will not be able to bluff people at all. ”

For example, the founder of Shincheonji Church*** initially targeted the students in the Bible class. Preaching and teaching in private, encouraging newcomers to cut off contact with family and friends, and then brainwashing to continue to develop offline. ”

"The church arranges jobs and pays salaries to believers, but in turn they ask them to donate more of their possessions under various names. If anyone resists, lynching can be carried out at least or outright killing. ”

Seeing that Ding Cheng was surprised, he said helplessly: "There is no way, because there are so many industries that have penetrated, these murders can always be suppressed under the guise of accidental death, and there are people above them!"

"Compared to the Shincheonji Church, the methods of the Regents are even more filthy. The founder, Jung Myung-seok, should have been a little lacking in love, and he had only accomplished one goal for many years of founding the church: sleeping with the church. ”

"I actually claim that God allows me to have sex with all the women in the world, because this is the way for believers to redeem themselves. ”

"Screening female believers everywhere and being a groom every night. It wasn't until he fled to our country in 07 that he was arrested and imprisoned by the people's police. ”

"The most awesome thing is Cui Taimin, the uncle of the country under the capitalist system, who will say that he and President Park are a spiritual couple, and then he will be Park's nominal godfather. ”

During the Park Chung-hee period, Choi Tae-min had a very close relationship with the Park family, and it was not until the incident of his daughter Choi Soon-sil's politics broke out that the sect was officially exposed. ”

"The reason why the principal of the school for the deaf and dumb in the movie melting pot is arrogant is because the archetypal characters are inextricably linked to Korean sects. ”

"Although everyone shouts about these organizations, unless they go too far, the top level in South Korea will always give them the green light. That's why the Korean news in the past two years will sound so magical. ”

After speaking, he looked at the script and analyzed: "Although it is a bit tricky, and the Buddhist theory is also half-understood, it is definitely better than last year's box office champion crying in the thriller part!"

Ding Cheng suddenly realized, so it was.

Looking at the script again, I have a new feeling, it doesn't matter if the box office is not at the box office, the main thing is that it is quite challenging, and I have never tried this kind of role.

Since Yao Tsai is confident, let's play.

Filming officially started, director Jang Jae-hyun is a Christian, but this work mainly revolves around the relevant teachings and legends of Buddhism, which reveals a strange posture of appeasement.

The proposition he wants to express is called the thought of gods and demons, which inexplicably became the origin of all disasters, and the priest he played, because of the tragedy he encountered, although he had doubts and resentment against God, but finally in the detection of the human tragedy caused by Maitreya in this world, his soul and faith were saved.

In 02, Chen Guofu's last work was born with double pupils, which is considered by many to be the ultimate Chinese horror film so far, and its seven deadly sins are seamlessly integrated into the traditional Taoist elements of gods and demons, creating a unique pattern of domestic horror movies.

In Ding Cheng's view, Suo Po He is to some extent a PLUS version of Double Pupil, with more mixed religious elements, and a much larger worldview, and a multi-line narrative containing more ambitions and propositions, but not as simple and direct as Double Pupil.

In addition, the tried and tested sensationalism and chicken soup are too eye-catching in this film of gods and demons, covering the religious speculation that could be indomitable, and the heart is more than enough, but the strength is insufficient.

The plot unfolds with multiple lines, and all three story lines exude a strange atmosphere: a pair of bizarre twin baby girls are born, and the older sister is in the womb, and they begin to eat the younger sister's body......

After birth, my sister was a monster, my sister was disabled, and what is even more strange is that the family has been plagued since then, with her mother dying of illness and her father committing suicide.

In desperation, the grandparents took the sisters to live in seclusion, even if they were incognito, they were still regarded as an ominous home!

More than ten years later, the Jiangyuan Provincial Police found a strange female corpse. This girl's middle school was sealed in cement after her death, and her mouth was stuffed with foreign objects such as red beans and spirit runes, which were obviously related to religious superstition.

Just when the police locked up the murderer, the suspect committed suicide in fear of the crime!

Why kill girls?

He used suicide to erase the motive, and no one knew the secret behind the case.

The protagonist he plays, who seems to be polite, is a charlatan. There are many religious sects in the country, and there is a mixture of new churches.

In the name of religious research, he investigates religious problems in various places for large churches, and earns some hard money.

In the Gangwon-do area, where the woman's body was found, a new church called Yeluyuan is emerging.

The church does good deeds in the cloak of Buddhism, but it worships the four heavenly kings, there is no Buddha in the Buddhist hall, and the fierce and evil heavenly king is the main one.

The three story threads seem to be unrelated, but as Pastor Park delves deeper, they set off a chain reaction.

The church called Yeluyuan originated from the Eastern Church founded by Kim Je-seok, but as the head of the sect, he disappeared without a trace, and if he was still alive, he would be 116 years old!

Amazing coincidences appeared. The man who murdered the girl was the child he adopted.
