Chapter 96: A Monkey's Story (1)
During the winter vacation, although Wang Qinian proposed a lot of proposals for the family's business, Wang Qinian did not plan to be a successor. Therefore, he still spends more energy on his own film script creation.
The beginning of everything is the hardest!
Although Wang Qinian wrote some settings and ideas, and recorded a lot of jokes and ideas, he hesitated at the beginning of the script and did not write it.
Because, adapting a famous book is the hardest!
There are too many classics that have changed from "Journey to the West" before, and the audience is already very picky!
But if it's too innovative, if the audience can't accept it. Because, there are some characters and plots in "Journey to the West" that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
is too conservative, and the audience feels disdainful, there are too many previous classics, why not have you one more?
Therefore, a balance needs to be found between innovation and the setting of the original book.
Neither too radical, but also not too conservative!
So, this beginning is very difficult!
It is more difficult to write than Wang Qinian who is imaginative and creates a new story out of thin air!
Since a few months ago, Wang Qinian has been constantly writing new beginnings and deleting new beginnings. Write, write, delete, delete, write a lot of settings, and accumulate a bunch of ideas. But not a single word was written in the official script.
During the winter holidays, it's still an endless loop!
Vulgar!
Delete!
Thunder!
Delete......
No highlights!
Delete......
In the past few days, he doesn't know how many scripts he has deleted, and the deleted text is at least sixty or seventy thousand words! According to the length of an ordinary movie script, the total number of words in a script is no more than that!
Realize that you are a little impetuous!
As a result, Wang Qi began to interrupt writing, but repeatedly watched film and television works, "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "Shushan", "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and even "Godzilla", "King Kong", "Jurassic Park"!
In addition, Wang Qinian also went to the game hall to play the very popular arcade "Journey to the West". Wang Qinian specially chartered the arcade machine of "Journey to the West" in the game hall, and even communicated with the children about the games and related storylines of Journey to the West.
Although, many children have not read the original book carefully at all, so they often tell some brain-opening stories.
But Wang Qinian knew that these strange ideas often made him feel amazing!
Children, the ideas in their eyes, have not been polluted by human sophistication.
So, love is love, and hate is hate. What they like and what they hate, they describe it completely according to their own feelings, rather than having as many distracting thoughts as adults.
As a result, the stories described by children are often more direct to the hearts of the people, and may be more thorough and pure than the things processed by artists!
……
Gradually, Wang Qi began to feel a little bit!
Right!
Love is love, hate is hate, and terrible is terrible!
It must be very intuitive, very plain to come out!
The story should not be profound, it should be understandable at a glance and integrated into the plot at a glance.
After careful consideration, Wang Qinian knew that the essence of "Journey to the West" was the mythical world of light and monsters. Monsters, gods, immortals, demons, mortals.
The focus of children's attention has never been about human sophistication.
It's the simplest gods and monsters, who is so powerful, who says who is so scary, who is more powerful than whom!
Therefore, Wang Qinian described the unique atmosphere of a mythological film at the beginning!
An ancient mountain village!
A youkai!
A huge youkai appears, this youkai is just an ordinary demon, but to mortals, it is very terrifying. It is difficult to kill a demon that is more than ten meters high, mortal bows and arrows, and weapons!
Monsters don't need detailed settings.,It's basically a humanoid monster.,There's no supernatural power.,It's just like the giant in the later cartoon "Attack on Titan" as huge.,Dull.,Low IQ.。
There are no fancy movements, but humans have no resistance to this huge monster. After being caught, it is stuffed into the mouth of a youkai.
The villagers shouted in panic and ran!
"Youkai are coming!"
"The monster has entered the village to eat people again!"
That's right, a man-eating youkai!
Whether it is in the original book of "Journey to the West" or in the plot of the movie, it has been mentioned that monsters eat people!
But in many film and television works with the theme of "Journey to the West", Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice have been tied up by monsters many times, but they have not been eaten by Shun.
Therefore, the audience will only feel that the monster does not seem to be scary, and cannibalism seems to be just a joke!
But!
This is no joke!
Monsters don't just want to eat Tang Sanzang, the mouth of mortals in "Journey to the West" mentions that monsters eat people, and a lot of them eat mortals! That's why mortals are afraid of those monsters!
Many film and television dramas explore the human side of monsters, monsters also have feelings, and monsters also fall in love. Desperately describe the not scary side of youkai!
Therefore, whitewashing monsters, monsters are not scary, it is no longer a highlight and innovation!
Wang Qinian did the opposite!
Describe the horror of youkai!
There is nothing more terrifying than cannibalism!
Why the later "Attack on Titan" is full of topicality is not because those ** giants are man-eating monsters! Humanity is unable to resist in the face of these giants.
In this way, the appearance of heroes who can kill giants will be exciting.
In an ordinary huge monster in a mountain village unscrupulously capture humans and devour.
At this time, a hero appears. However, this hero soldier is not a human, and he is also a youkai. A monkey demon, an old monkey demon on Huaguo Mountain, can speak human language and hold a stick.
The old monkey demon fought hard and won the huge monster, but the humans were not grateful, but felt fearful. Because, he's also a monster!
"Mom, that's Monkey Father-in-law!" A child pointed to an old monkey with a stick.
"Shut up, the old monkey is also a monster. Don't look at it if it doesn't eat people now, maybe it will eat people in the future! The middle-aged woman reprimanded the child in panic.
The old monkey smiled kindly.
The villagers were panicked and fled into their houses.
The old monkey had no choice but to leave alone.
After it left, the villagers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief!
The reason why this old monkey demon shelters this human village is because when this monkey demon was a child, he was taken care of by the favor of the village, and after it became a demon, because of gratitude, it protected this mountain village for hundreds of years.
But the villagers only felt fear of him, but not gratitude.
This monster attack on the village is in the disaster!
There are many villagers who died, and among them, there are many orphans!
The main character is an orphan of ordinary humans. Because, the parents were eaten in this monster attack, and the child was a foreigner and had no relatives or friends in the village, so the old monkey decided to adopt him.
Because he was adopted by an old monkey, the protagonist's surname is Sun, and he doesn't have a serious name, so he is called Sun Monkey.
After the main character, Sun Monkey, grows up and can speak.
The old monkey's life is also gradually dying!
"Grandpa Monkey, you eat me!" Sun Monkey admired Grandpa Monkey very much, and begged.
Youkai cannibalism can prolong life!
"Monkey monsters, do not eat people, they can be reincarnated in the next life, and if they eat people, they will become demons. After the death of the demon, go to the eighteen layers of hell! The old monkey refused.
After that, the monkey father tells the children stories and tells the stories of the monkeys.
"I'm just a very weak youkai, and in fact, most monkey demons are weak! If you encounter some monsters that really have Taoism and mana, you will definitely not be able to beat them! The old monkey said, "However, my monkey clan, there are several kinds of monkeys in the legend, after cultivating to become a monster, they will become the most powerful monsters in the world, among them, one of the most powerful Lingming stone monkeys ......."
