Chapter 30 Step by step, then subtly, mediate everything
Self also.
It seems that he was in a hurry, and came to visit early in the morning.
Orochimaru put down the newspaper in his hand, got up and walked to the entrance, opening the door for him.
"Orochimaru, I've figured it out!" As soon as he opened the door, he saw the big ugly face of the white-haired monkey, he squeezed in through the crack in the door, and eagerly grabbed Orochimaru's hand, "I think your idea is very good!" If it's for the ninja and the world change, then I'm willing to do my best! ”
"Well, that's good."
Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction, then frowned and slapped away Jiraiya's greasy hand.
"You should probably learn ...... How to groom in front of people. Orochimaru said in a cryptic sentence, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped his hands.
Because, he found that Jiraiya didn't wash his face today......
Not only did he not wash his face, but his hands were still greasy and smelling, and he might have just bought finger cakes outside.
The writing wheel couldn't be closed, and the lines of his palms were dripping with food residues, making Orochimaru want to throw the white-haired monkey onto the road.
"Hehe, I bought two, do you want to eat them?"
Jiraiya smirked, not caring about Orochimaru's behavior towards his friend, he took out an oily paper bag from his arms and handed it to Orochimaru.
"Newly opened today, I specially added two pieces of meat to you."
“……”
Orochimaru looked at the paper bag in Jiraiya's hand and pondered for a moment.
"Okay, bring it over." Orochimaru took the paper bag and wrapped it in a handkerchief, preparing to throw it to the snake clone later.
Well, I remember that there was a time when Orochimaru was doing research and didn't have time to entertain this monkey, so he asked the snake clone to disguise himself and send him away. As a result, the snake clone didn't know what to tell him, so whenever Jiraiya came to disturb him in the morning, he would bring a finger cake with meat.
Orochimaru doesn't like to eat finger cakes, so he threw them all to the psychic snake, but he was very happy to eat it, and it seemed to like this kind of human food very much.
After a brief pleasantries, it's time to get down to business.
I didn't come here to visit the door, but today I came to negotiate the movie.
Closing the entrance door, Orochimaru welcomed Jiraiya into the house, and the two came to the hall and sat down with each other.
After simply making him a cup of tea, Orochimaru went to the study to get the outline of the script and came back, and threw it in front of Jiraiya.
"This is the outline of the movie script I thought, there are two copies, you can take a look."
"Oh? You've done a lot of preparation. ”
Jiraiya's face was surprised, looking at a few pieces of scratch paper in front of him, the paper still exuded the fragrance of ink, and the handwriting was very beautiful, it was estimated that he had just written it.
Without further ado, he was also a simple person, picked up the paper, and began to read.
Orochimaru drank the coffee in his hand and looked pleasant.
About a quarter of an hour later.
"Very good story idea."
Jiraiya put down the two manuscript papers in his hand and let out a long breath, but he didn't look very surprised.
After all, I had already been surprised once before. Orochimaru is a type who loves to read, and of course he won't be unaware of this. He also knew he was a genius.
"I don't quite understand ......, though"
Genius is genius, but he also does not admit defeat, he and Orochimaru have been competitors for so many years, not only in the field of ninjutsu, but also in other fields.
So he began to give his opinion.
"I agree with Ninja Football, and I probably understand the value of this movie. But...... What kind of significance does the story of Journey to the West have? Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru and began to elaborate on his question, "According to your description of this story, it seems to be just a four- or five-person travelogue story, and there may be some legends and legends in it, but it can only reach the level of eye-catching. I don't quite understand, what is the meaning of this story? If it is to stop the war from changing the world, it is obvious that Journey to the West is redundant. ”
"Another ......"
Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked the biggest question in his mind.
"Orochimaru, you should know that the means of making a movie may only cause a momentary sensation. In the world of ninjas, the real decision to 'control the peace' does not lie with the people at the bottom. This is a world where power determines everything, and there are no peaceful means of reform. ”
Orochimaru drank the coffee in his hand, and grinned in the face of Jiraiya's cannon question.
"Then make yourself stronger and stand at the top of the world." He said in a very ordinary tone, "Step by step, and then subtly, mediate everything." ”
"Oh? Are you sure of that? Become the strongest in the world. ”
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, he was not surprised by Orochimaru's arrogance, he knew his friend for many years, and any surprise was enough to get used to.
"No one knows ...... better than I The nature of the world, it's only a matter of time. Orochimaru replied softly.
Jiraiya kept staring at Orochimaru for a few minutes.
After a long time, Zilai also let go of his prejudices, and then nodded: "Okay, I believe you...... But what are you going to say about the question of Journey to the West? ”
"It's not a problem." Orochimaru picked up his cup and took a sip of fragrant coffee, "As you can see, this is a travelogue in an alternate world...... So, you understand, what is a travelogue? ”
"Travelogue ......"
Jiraiya pondered Orochimaru's words, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on him.
A travelogue, as the name suggests, refers to an article that describes the experience of a tour, which can be realistic or empty.
Realism, "Pineapple Travels" published by the Land of Fire, describes the geographical customs and civilization recorded by the protagonist pineapples browsing around the world; Overhead School, "The Rubik's Cube of the Building" published by the Land of the Wind, writes about the adventures of different countries in the world of the Rubik's Cube; Talking about the lyrical school, there is "Rose in Travel" published by the Land of Water...... What they all have in common is that they all focus on the human customs of geography.
Journey to the West is an alternate travelogue, in which he can focus on describing the people's use and understanding of ninjutsu in the story and in the setting background of each country.
That's the meaning of the travelogue.
Readers can taste the story and think about the meaning of the geography and culture in the book.
"Looks like you're not too stupid."
Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction, although Jiraiya was always called a monkey by him, he was always a smart monkey, at least his head was not empty, and he could think.
Like Ninja Football, Journey to the West is also a story adapted by Orochimaru, and it is not a direct "take-it-or-leave-it" plagiarism from the earth. He changed the power system in it, turned the spell into ninjutsu, and the mana into chakra, trying to be as "down-to-earth" as possible.
The reader's ability to accept the story is getting weaker and weaker with the amount of reading.
It can be said that most readers, after reading too many novels, will become more and more picky in taste, and when reading a new novel, perhaps just a small word that does not meet their hearts is enough to make them abandon the book. The same is true for movies, when setting the script, the screenwriter should try to be "down-to-earth", and he must quickly enter the plot, so as not to have the idea of making readers "abandon the drama and abandon the book" in less than three minutes.
