Chapter 131: Cyra
"Wow, it's Cyra, our Angel of Killing!" Francis was in the room looking at the footage from today's shooting, and when he saw Fifth Jade come in, he pushed his glasses and quipped.
"Hey! I didn't change my name, just for the convenience of those who can't call my name! Fifth Jade casually found a seat and sat down, because he knew that he was adopted very early, Fifth Jade had always only regarded his name as a code name, and for him, the name had no other meaning.
"OK, Mr. Fifth Jade, what are you looking for me?" Francis spread his hands, then pointed to the screen in front of him and said, "You know, I have a lot of work right now. ”
"About my role." Fifth Jade said seriously, "There are some doubts, is he an onmyoji or the incarnation of the Cyra you are talking about?" And who is Cyra? ”
Francis heard Fifth Jade's question, turned around and glanced at Fifth Jade playfully, before saying, "I didn't expect you to come and ask this." ”
"What? Troublesome? Fifth Yu frowned, he didn't think too much, but suddenly felt that he should understand, so he came over and asked.
Francis shrugged, in his opinion this is a good sign, compared to the previous indifferent attitude of the fifth jade, this is the spirit that an actor should have.
"No, nothing." Francis shook his head, then said, "This reassures me more than trouble." ”
"Actually, I don't believe in the so-called gods and angels."
Francis's words made Fifth Jade a little confused.
"But you're making a movie of gods and demons."
"Yes, whether it is myths and legends or religious beliefs, they are actually imaginary by human beings. In my eyes, the important thing is not which one is more powerful or which one has a more noble status, but what kind of thoughts or wishes of human beings are placed in these stories and legends. Francis carefully explained, "The so-called Cyra, one of the fallen angels, the killing angels that God used to punish mankind, does not exist in the Bible. ”
"Forehead......" Fifth Jade didn't know much about Western religion, so he just listened in confusion.
"He wrote it in the book of Enoch, but Christianity regarded it as a false canon and did not recognize the book's account." Francis explained.
"And what does this film mean?" Fifth Jade became more and more confused, and he really didn't think about the point of using an unrecognized figure as a symbol.
"It seems that you still don't know much about movies!" Francis sighed, then said, "In the whole film, I never said you were Cylla!" ”
"But......" Fifth Jade looked at Francis suspiciously, if so, then why did he mention this character to himself!
"Ha Luha, I just borrowed his symbolism, despair, punishment, killing, but at the same time, it will not be explicitly pointed out in the film. Viewers who are just for entertainment will only treat him as an ordinary shot, and viewers who know something about Cyra will naturally understand what I am expressing. Francis blinked after speaking, "So, you understand, right?" ”
“…… Can't you just say it? "Fifth Jade always thinks that movies are used to tell stories, and everything is blurry, so what is it!
"Ha Luha, there's no need for that. The meaning of such a religion naturally has its own views because of the relationship between sects. Some people may find this ridiculous, or blaspheme his teachings, which is a very troublesome thing. "Besides, even if I don't say it, there will be countless mouths to say it for me when the film is released." ”
“…… So, even if those sects know the Tao, they can't do it, right? Because you didn't say anything in the film! Fifth Jade looked at Francis a little speechless, he realized for the first time that there were so many tricks to make a movie.
"Huh." Francis winked at the fifth jade, and then said, "As for the angel of Cyra, it is recorded in the book of Enoch that although he was a fallen angel, he did not betray God, and his duty was to punish and kill. Now that you're interested in your character, I'm going to tell you what he means. ”
"When Cyra first built the ark of Noah, he appeared once, and instantly created a flood that flooded everything in the world. Also, three days before the Last Judgment, he also participated in and killed 1/3 of the total number of human beings. So, his presence represents despair, but at the same time, because of his cruelty, although he is commanded by God's will to punish, the result he causes can make God begin to show mercy to the victims, so there is a glimmer of hope in it. Francis carefully explained the definition of the role for Fifth Jade, and Fifth Jade listened attentively on the side.
It wasn't until late at night that Fifth Jade returned to her room and began to organize her thoughts. He no longer bothered with whether his character was a crazy onmyoji or an incarnation of Cyra, because no matter what the identity was, the meaning he represented was the same. Punishment, despair, his character's only purpose is to warn humanity.
Closing her eyes, Fifth Jade recalls her conversation with Francis. Just jokingly, Fifth Jade smiled and asked Francis:
"Hey! I'm just an onmyoji, not a killer, why do you think I'm suitable for this role? ”
"Haluha, am I going to find a killer to act?" Francis joked as well, and then, in a changed tone, said, "But, to those goblins, aren't you Cylla?" ”
"They're goblins!" Fifth Jade said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, but to Cyra, we're just human."
Suddenly, Fifth Jade sat up from the bed and rummaged through her clothes for her phone. At this moment, the cigarette case he was carrying fell out.
Fifth Jade picked up the cigarette case, looked at it in a daze, and muttered:
"Let the living be at ease, and the dead be at rest."
Then he suddenly sneered, "Bliss? It's just nothingness. ”
Looking at the hand holding the cigarette case, remembering what Mei said, "It is also stained with countless unjust souls", Fifth Jade sighed.
Yes, as Onmyoji, they never care about how these ghosts died, and died naturally? Murder? Unjust death? They don't care about any of this, they just wipe them out of the world like cold machines.
Gently pulling out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lighting it, the fifth jade smoked for the first time during the non-exorcism period. Familiar flavors spread from the mouth, and the smoke ignited was like the moment the soul dissipated.
