Chapter Eighty-Three: Writing the Script
Because, Wang Qinian's next work is planned to be related to "Journey to the West". Therefore, during this time, he has collected a lot of film and television works related to Journey to the West.
The CCTV version of the "Journey to the West" TV series is naturally a must-see.
Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" is also a repeated review.
CCTV's "Journey to the West" may be more original, but the re-deconstruction of Journey to the West in "Journey to the West" is also a different classic, which makes people feel that the story of "Journey to the West" can still be adapted like this.
Of course, there is also a fan fiction derived from "Journey to the West" in later generations - "The Legend of Wukong"! Wang Qinian also searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, recalling the content of this novel.
Because I didn't read it carefully back then, I can't remember the details of "The Legend of Wukong" clearly.
However, one of the famous sayings that can never be forgotten - "I want this day, I can no longer cover my eyes, I want this earth, I can no longer bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, and I want all the Buddhas to disappear!" ”
This domineering leakage that Tang Seng said, Wang Qinian remembers it deeply.
Of course, in this passage, Wang Qinian felt that it was up to Tang Seng to say that Zhen Nyima's wasting a line that was easy to pretend. Therefore, in the script that Wang Qinian plans to write, this pretending sentence is for the protagonist Sun Wukong to say.
In fact, it is more appropriate for Sun Wukong to say this.
There is also the TV series "Journey to the West", which unfortunately will not be broadcast until 2ooo. The most important thing about this "Sequel" is that many later scenes were plagiarized by the "Harry Potter 7" movie. made many domestic audiences speechless - Gao Shuai Fu's special effects blockbuster, copying the footage in China's ** silk TV series, and being shameless.
Of course, it is precisely because many scenes in "Journey to the West" were copied by "Ha 7", so the reputation of many talents has changed, and they feel that "Postquel" has begun to become a classic.
Wang Qinian feels that some of the conspiracies and layouts in "The Later Sequel" can be used for reference. For example, the real Buddha of the real Western Heaven has been reincarnated, and the current Buddha is fake, a Buddha who has cut off the negative feelings, disguised by Wutian.
The reason for this is also to avoid offending the followers of Buddhism.
……
"Journey to the West" is the name that Wang Qinian proposed for the movie script.
Wang Qinian did not write the plot at the beginning, but started to write it from the setting.
At the core of the setting, Wang Qinian carefully considered "immortality" as the theme behind the work - "A thousand spells, infinite avenues, I only ask, can you live forever?" ”
Gods, demons, and Buddhas, they seem to have different ideas and different powers, but they all pursue liberation and immortality.
But it doesn't mean that if you become immortals, Buddhas and demons, you can be truly immortal, just if they get a longer lifespan, they will still die.
And between heaven and earth, there are several scarce resources that can prolong their lifespan.
A few common life-prolonging genius treasures - the peach of the heavenly court, the ginseng fruit of the earth, and the golden cicada of Buddhism.
The peach of the Queen Mother of the West is a strategic resource used by the heavenly court to attract many immortals, and a peach banquet is held every three years (one day in the sky and one year in the ground, which is actually equal to a thousand years), and some immortals and Buddhas are invited to enjoy the peach to prolong their life, so as to attract some immortals and Buddhas with great powers, so that they can recognize the orthodox status of the heavenly court.
The Zhenyuan Great Immortal of the Earth Realm, known as the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, has a very great prestige, in addition to his vast and rare opponents, more important is the ginseng fruit on his Wuzhuang Concept. Ginseng fruit also has an effect similar to that of peach.
In the Western Elysium, even the Buddhas have a limit of longevity, and the same is true for other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats. Even if they surrender to Heaven in exchange for a peach. However, the peach resources are very limited, and they are still not enough.
However, Western Elysium also has a unique resource - the golden cicada! The golden cicada is a demon that the Buddhas will subdue. The Buddha accepted the golden cicada as a disciple, but in fact, the golden cicada has the effect of making people immortal after eating, similar to the peach and ginseng fruit. And every time the golden cicada is eaten, it is reincarnated after death, and it still has the same effect.
The theme of "Journey to the West" is to escort the golden cicada in this life to the Western Elysium for the Buddhas to enjoy.
Of course, at the beginning of "Journey to the West", Wang Qinian decided to change the setting of Monkey King.
The Monkey King in the setting is not like the original book, he was a monkey from the beginning.
It is a human child, he listens to the old man's story, the legend of Nuwa's stone to mend the sky, if anyone gets into the crack of the stone, he can become a "Lingming stone monkey" who can change, know the sky, know the place, and move the stars to change the body. And this stone may be in Huaguo Mountain.
The human child, hearing about this legend, began to climb the mountain to find the stone out of curiosity.
After that, he really went up the mountain, and was attacked by monkeys, beasts, and monsters, and he finally found the spirit stone and got into it.
After getting in, the child really began to be reborn, broke out of the shell, and became a body with a "Lingming Stone Monkey".
After having the body of the "Lingming Stone Monkey", the child gradually became the king of the mountain in the monkey group, and there were a large number of monkeys and monkeys every day, and the life was much more comfortable than that under the mountain.
However, he also saw a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death, so he seemed depressed. Later, following the advice of some of the old monkeys in the monkey group, he began to go out to find the legendary gods and learn the legendary art of immortality.
Later, he naturally followed the trajectory of Journey to the West, worshiped Bodhi Patriarch as a teacher in Lingtai Mountain, and learned seventy-two changes and somersault clouds and other magical powers.
Later, it was natural to re-take the road of making trouble in the Dragon Palace, the Hades Palace and the Heavenly Palace.
In this story, Tang Sanzang's previous life, Jin Cicada, accidentally met Wukong and became Wukong's friend.
And Wukong learned that the meaning of the golden cicada was actually eaten. So, he got angry and wanted to protect the golden cicada.
Therefore, it angered the Western Buddhas and was suppressed by Rulai at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.
Five hundred years later, the golden cicada, who had been reincarnated ten times, met Wukong again as Tang Sanzang and rescued him from the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.
Of course, this story is not a re-journey to the west. It's that Wukong knows that Tang Sanzang is the golden cicada, and after going to the West Heaven, he will really return to the West with his life, so he keeps preventing the master from going to the West Heaven.
After simply reading the outline he drafted a few times, Wang Qinian smiled slightly, feeling quite satisfied, but the fly in the ointment is that sister!
Kindness!
There must be a girl, a girl who likes Monkey King!
Wang Qinian setting, the princess of the iron fan......
