Dramaturgy, almost from the beginning of recorded plays, tends to a three-act structure.

Whether it's an ancient Greek tragedy, a five-act Shakespearean play, a four-act television series, or a seven-act weekly film, we see a basic three-act structure: a beginning, middle, and end – the beginning of the story in the first act, the development in the second, and the climax and ending in the third.

"The Gods Trilogy: The Demon Rebellion of the Country" must be built according to the structure of a three-act play.

Shen Ming is very curious about how the screenwriters will choose, after all, the story of "Fengshen Bang" is a household name, and it is made into a TV series, and it can't be told without eighty episodes, and the trilogy will be done?

He admires Ran Ping as a screenwriter, the special effects of "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" are not good, and the director's level is not good, especially the actors, Guo Tianwang was completely blown up by Gong Li...

- But the question discussed is very standard: man and demon, do you have to die if you are a demon?

"Isn't it also killing you to kill demons along the way? What kind of scriptures did you take? Who are you saving?"

In the end, Tang Seng himself said that the so-called goodness is not something that can be recited with a few words of Buddhism. Kindness is not infallible, is the White Bone Lady pitiful? Pitiful, but she must be eliminated; kindness is not generosity to others, he can't rely on Sun Wukong all the way, and he can only do things to save people.

He is all living beings, every living being he encounters along the way, including people, demons, animals, flowers and grasses, and their masters and apprentices themselves.

All beings are equal, no matter how high or low, every life is worth saving!

In order to save the white bone essence, Tang Seng would rather give up his life in the world, that is, interrupt the current process of learning scriptures, reincarnate, and return to the starting point.

"The little monk has thought about it, I will not disappear for a lifetime, and I will spend a lifetime. Ten lifetimes will not disappear, I will spend ten lifetimes!"

"Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha. ”

Is it worth it?

Tang Seng felt that it was worth it - he said that he would not give up any life along the way.

This is the difference between a Buddha and sentient beings: one thought is a sentient being, and one thought is a Buddha.

Tang Seng's realization directly cut off contact with the Holy Mother's, this realization has never been involved in all the previous original works and adaptations of "Journey to the West", it suddenly sublimated the image of Tang Seng, and made the ending unexpected: the last dozen of the three dozen white bone spirits, Sun Wukong beat Tang Seng to death...

In the end, it was not Guanyin's persuasion that influenced Sun Wukong, not that the goblin was beaten to death, Tang Seng consciously wronged Wukong and chose to make amends, not that Sun Wukong succumbed to the precept of "monks must not kill", but that Sun Wukong surrendered to Tang Seng's personality of "hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha", so there is: "108,000 miles, Lao Sun is waiting for you to come back." If you don't come in one life, your grandson will wait for you in one life, and if you don't come in the tenth life, your grandson will also wait for ten generations!"

If it weren't for Ran Ping's blessing, "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" would be at most the level of "Journey to the West: Daughter Country"...

The chief screenwriter of the Fengshen trilogy this time is Ran Ping, I don't know how he will play this theme!

……

In Beijing, there are more than 1,000 large and small private clubs.

At first, it was formed by Hong Kong and foreign investors to provide a place for members to have fun and entertainment, and later the wealthy in China also formed various clubs.

The interior of the club is luxurious, the consumption is high, the privacy is emphasized, and the requirements for members are strict.

This is the Orlante Club, nothing special, except that the boss behind the scenes is Wanda's proprietress ...

Shen Ming had received many invitations from clubs before, and he was not very interested.

There are more and more clubs, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven, and all kinds of chaos will breed.

For a good business event, you have to add a little bit of beautiful girl draft, is it interesting?

A lot of people find it interesting!

Shen Ming glanced at Brother Song and said with relief: ""Demon Chaos is very good, Old Song, don't be bitter!"

“… 800 million investment, if this fails, I can't think of it!"

Indeed, although Beijing Culture is a listed company, its market value has not been very high, the peak of the year before last was to break through 10 billion with the help of "God of Medicine", and then it fell all the way, and now it is stable at around 6 billion...

That's a healthy figure: Generally speaking, the market value of a pure film and television production company should be stable between 10 and 20 times its annual profit...

"It's not a big problem, at least it can get 3 billion box office, the first part is mainly to cultivate users, accumulate word of mouth, and recover the cost!"

"I sometimes envy you, you say that you Minghui, you won't be listed, what movies you do, you have the final say, who you want to use, you have the final say..."

“… Isn't it, Old Song, aren't you pretty good now?"

"The company is too big!"

Brother Song waved his hand...

Beijing Culture...

How to say it, Beijing Culture is actually a joint-stock alliance of Beijing Ferris Wheel, Zhejiang Galaxy, and Beijing Century Partners.

Brother Song's own handicap is the Ferris wheel, Zhejiang Galaxy was formerly known as Beijing Shibi Culture Brokerage Co., Ltd., Wang Jinghua's handicap;

Century Partner is a TV drama company founded by Lou Xiaoxi, and the TV series "Young Marshal" and the movie "Master" are his company works;

In addition, there is Xia Chen'an, Lao Xia was the director of Zhejiang Satellite TV before, and created the "China Blue" brand, "Running Brother" and "The Voice of China" were all pushed out by him!

Four major subsidiaries of movies, TV series, variety shows and artist brokerage.

Have a good hand!

There are too many good cards, and the constraints will come!

"It's okay, the quality of "Fengshen" is very high, as long as you can make money, internal contradictions are trivial!"

“… And after that?"

“…”

How did Shen Ming know what to do after that...

He only knows that Minghui resolutely does not play big investment, and the current film and television production, which is less than 100 million, is called medium investment...

It's too exaggerated to play.

"The Wandering Earth 2, when are you going to make it?"

“… This depends on Guo Fan's meaning, old Guo, what do you think?"

Guo Fan, who had never spoken, said quietly: "I want to rest for half a year..."

“… It really should be a holiday. ”

After "The Wandering Earth", Guo Fan almost non-stop, and immediately started the preparation of "Mars Rescue", which can prepare most of the special effects work in a year...

That's it, from the establishment of the project to the upcoming release, two and a half years have passed...

"Lao Guo is too tired..."

"Wu Jing is busy filming "Wolf Warrior 3", in fact, you can try to direct "Zhuo Yifan" by yourself..."

“… No, I don't have time, I have to join the group "Lethal Weapon" next month, I have to shoot "Out of Time" in November, and "On the Cliff" next year... There are still two Hollywood film contracts, and I really don't have time!"

And Shen Ming always felt that self-directing and self-acting was too energy-consuming, and it was difficult to grasp the scale.

If you don't do it, you think it's okay because you have a clear understanding of the movie, but the audience can't stand on the same level as you when they watch it for the first time...

Therefore, "Protecting the Flag", Shen Ming did not act...
