Guan Bin stared at the computer screen, looking directly at the sand sculpture script with only about 1,000 words.

From the script, he didn't see the layer by layer art in Meng Shi's mouth, but only felt that the words were stuffed with the ridicule of "who plays who is stupid".

Guan Bin's index finger unconsciously picked at his leg.

He didn't know now whether he wanted Meng Shi and Ye Shangmo to talk smoothly or not.

It wasn't until Qin Qingxue, who was on the way to Zhongying Group, called someone to send the script of "Empty Zen" over, that Guan Bin broke free from this emotion of suffering from gains and losses.

He didn't read the script for the first time, took out the cigarette case, gave one to Chen You, and took another one himself.

Chen He took the cigarette handed over by Guan Bin and lit it.

He looked at the script on the table and found that the cover format of "Empty Zen" was different from the "Spring" in his hand.

The cover of the script of "Spring" not only writes the name of the movie, the name of the screenwriter Lu Duancun, but also marks that it is currently the sixth draft.

And "Empty Zen" is just two big characters in a daze.

He reached out and flipped through two pages, and found that the format of the text was also different.

"What's wrong?" Guan Bin looked at Chen He's expression, took the cigarette in his hand, and looked at the script.

Chen You picked up the script, handed it to him, and then took the script of "Spring" out of his bag and opened it.

————

03. Inside the van, day, inside

In front of the car window is placed a bag of red tower mountain.

Grim started the car and reached out and patted the radio with a bad signal.

Wu Qing, who was on the co-pilot, looked at the cigarette in front of the window, slowly turned his head to look out of the window, (voice wandered), "What have you been doing lately." ”

The car moved, grim holding the steering wheel with one hand, (proudly), "Do a big job." ”

Wu Qing didn't speak, and looked out of the car window blankly.

————

At the beginning of the text of "Spring", the scene number, scene, time, interior and exterior scenes are clearly marked.

And "Empty Zen" not only does not have these, but in some places even the dialogue of the characters is empty.

"It doesn't seem to be the same as mine." Chen compared the two scripts and was a little puzzled.

In fact, he didn't know what the standard format of the script looked like.

Probably because of preconceived reasons, Chen He felt that "Empty Zen" looked weird.

"This is a combination of mainland and Hong Kong style script writing, not only the scenes and character actions are complete, but the screenwriter also marks the emotions of the characters."

"I didn't have this kind of treatment in the scenes I filmed before, most of the scripts were, character names, colons, dialogues. You play casually, and with a wave of the director's hand, it's over. You feel that your emotions are not in place, and you want to do it again, but he still thinks you are hypocritical. There are too many such scenes, and people are stupid. ”

After graduating, Guan Bin worked hard for several years, and it wasn't until these two years that he relied on "Thorn Qin" to get ahead.

And as soon as Chen Yu entered the industry, he is still the leading actor of the movie that he is still out of reach, and it is fake to say that he does not envy it.

At this moment, a very ridiculous thought suddenly arose in him - maybe following Meng Shiming was not as bad as he imagined?

As soon as this thought came to him, he hurriedly shook his head, as if this action could shake out the thoughts in his heart.

Chen You didn't know that he had thought so much in his mind for a moment, nodded and spit out a puff of cigarette. "I see."

He somewhat understood why there were so many thunder dramas in his brain, and in the final analysis, it was the general environment.

"But Director Ye is a stream of consciousness, and it's normal for the script to look like this."

"Exclude directors who fool the audience, and directors who are serious about filming can be roughly divided into two types according to their style."

"From the moment you turn on the camera, you determine what effect you want for each shot, every shot. There are clear storyboards, and all the characters, even the light, are held in your hands. If you don't get the desired effect, do it over and over again. ”

"Compared with the above, the other is more floating, just tell you a feeling, the emotions of the characters, and then the actor is free to play, as long as it feels right, it is easy to say anything."

Guan Bin said and pointed to "Spring" and then to "Empty Zen", "Lu Dao is the former, and Ye Dao is the latter." ”

Chen and Ting did not understand anything.

So I set my sights on "Empty Zen"

——

It's a troubled time.

Demons are rife.

The empty temple "Fayun Land" Nirvana, the "reincarnated spirit child" was born.

So far, the empty temple has inherited 107 "Fayundi" symbiosis.

108 means seeking the right hundred and eight samadhi and cutting off the 108 kinds of afflictions.

The "spirit child" of this life should be a Buddha.

Note: The "Dharma Cloud Land" is the perfection of the ten realms, which has all the wonderful merits, has cut off all the disturbing obstacles, and has entered the realm of the perfection of the Dharmakaya, and at this time, the present and seeds of the disturbing obstacles and the obstacles of knowledge have been completely subdued and entered the Vajra Path.

Note: The "reincarnation" of the empty temple is not an ordinary reincarnation.

Reincarnation: Every monk who has not achieved the right result and stopped at the realm of "Fayun Land" will give birth to a "reincarnated spirit child" to know the sea and become a Huiguo. Being born by Huiguo is the "reincarnated spirit child".

[——"Fayun Land" passed away and Nirvana became "Hui Guo"——Hui Guo entrusted the birth of the spirit boy into the world———— Kong Zen Temple welcomed back the "spirit child" teaching--opened the inheritance of the past world-"Spirit Child" went directly to the King Kong Realm to become the "Law Cloud Land" - "Law Cloud Land" Nirvana——]

The inheritance of the empty temple has been like this from generation to generation, and the head and tail are connected, forming a reincarnation like an Ouroboros.

Because of the existence of this reincarnation, in the world full of demons and evils, the Kongzen Temple has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is a "Fayun Land" sitting in the temple all the time.

The empty temple not only suppressed one side, but also always retained the hope of "becoming a Buddha" to sweep away the demons in the world in one fell swoop.

And this reincarnation, to the prophecy of 'being able to break the hundred and eight afflictions', transcending the "Dharma Cloud Land" Vajra Realm, and achieving the Bodhisattva status of the 108th generation of "spirit children" came into the world, and there was an accident.

In this life, the "Huiguo" condensed by the 107th "Fayun Land", the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Kongzen Temple, was directly born in a 16-year-old boy named [He Tian].

——

The content of the first page is the background of the whole story.

The two of them read it one after another, but they didn't turn the page.

Chen and Guan Bin asked, "Is the role that Meng Shi went to give you He Tian?" ”

Guan Bin didn't even think about it, and shook his head directly, "This is the protagonist, I may not be able to play the protagonist of a movie in my life, well, the protagonist of a blockbuster." ”

Chen He shook the bangs that blocked his eyes, and the long hair with a shawl was suddenly cut off, although it was not as round as Meng Shi, it was still very uncomfortable.

Subconsciously touched his beard, which no longer existed, and pressed the cigarette out in the ashtray.

He went to Qinghua, not a film school, and he didn't have a very clear idea of what the position of the movie lead actor was.

Of course, the main reason is that the role of "Wu Qing" comes too easily.

I went to have a meal with Meng Shi, and then chatted with Lu Chengkang, and it was done.

This process made him feel like the movie was just that.

Now look at Guan Bin's attitude......

Chen You wanted to ask him, is it difficult to be the leading actor of a movie?

When the words came to his mouth, he felt inappropriate, so he put up with it again, lowered his head and scratched his eyebrows, "Then what role is he going to want?" ”

Guan Bin turned the next page in silence.

-- Prologue --

The wind blows off the dead leaves on the treetops, passes through the 107 Vajra statues behind the empty temple, and blows the white monk's robes of [Shensi].

Shensi stood at the end of the Vajra Forest, his hands folded, and his mouth reciting the inheritance mantra.

A spiritual light appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and then the process of Huiguo's birth, which was visible only to him, appeared in his sea of consciousness.

In the sea of knowledge, Shensi witnessed "Huiguo" fall into the body of a teenager.

His eyes snapped open.

At the same time, in his palms, the reincarnation magic weapon that had been inherited for thousands of years silently cracked out of the Dao Dao.

Shensi slowly closed his eyes again, and the light of his eyebrows faded.

The [Shenxing] beside him asked, "Senior brother, where is the reincarnated spirit child?" ”

Shensi kept his hands together, "I'm going to welcome the spirit boy back to the temple." ”

The next day, in the mighty morning bell of the empty temple, Shensi returned with a baby in his arms.

————

"Hello?"

Meng Shi took the phone off his ear.

The screen lights up to show that the call is continuing.

There was just silence on the other end of the phone, and Meng Shi's words seemed to make Lu Chengkang fall into some kind of thinking.

Meng Shi simply didn't speak, just stared at the call time on the mobile phone screen, watching it go away second by second.

After a full five minutes, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you think the script of empty Zen is fine, the problem is Lao Ye?" ”

Movies are a very interesting thing. The same script, the same actors, and different directors end up presenting something that is absolutely different.

"Hmm." Meng Shi nodded in response, just before meeting Su Ran, he still thought that "Empty Zen" should be a good commercial blockbuster.

Although "Empty Zen" seems to have a complicated setting, the story is not complicated.

The core of the script is very clear - willingness.

There is a problem with the inheritance of the empty temple, and the spirit child in this life is no longer a baby, but a 16-year-old boy He Tian.

When Shensi found He Tian, who was born by Huiguo, and tried to awaken him to the 107 "Fayun Lands" in the sea of consciousness, he failed.

This failure means that in this most chaotic era in the past thousand years, the empty temple has lost its foundation.

If this news leaks out, without the suppression of the "Fayun Land" of the Vajra Realm, the empty Zen Temple that has been inherited for thousands of years will be leveled by demons and evil spirits in one fell swoop.

Against this backdrop, Shensi brought back a baby.

He concealed the whole world, fabricated a reincarnated spirit child, and after everyone believed that the empty temple had welcomed back the spirit child, he took He Tian to the temple as an apprentice, and constantly tried to awaken the inheritance in his body.

Shensi thinks that he is picking up the crumbling empty Zen temple on his shoulder.

But what he couldn't understand was that the empty Zen Temple had stood for thousands of years, and the "Fayun Land" had been passed down from generation to generation, which itself was a deformed existence.

"Huiguo" itself is the largest collection of obsessions in the world.

So in the prologue at the beginning of the plot, the reincarnation magic weapon was cracked.

The whole story of "Empty Zen" is a process of putting down, picking up, and then detaching.

There is a give-and-take.

The protagonist He Tian first let go of sixteen years of earthly cause and effect, picked up the thousand-year-old inheritance of the empty Zen Temple, and faced the demons of the troubled times.

When the whole world was facing destruction, he let go of the obsession of "becoming a Buddha" accumulated for thousands of years by the 107th generation of "Fayundi" in the sea of knowledge, and picked up the love of his heart.

Ye Shangmo said that this script was written by him intermittently in recent years.

After Meng Shi heard Qin Qingxue say that he was gay, he read the script again and thought that He Tian in the script was him.

Maybe Ye Shangmo himself thinks the same way.

After seeing Su Ran, Meng Shi changed this idea.

"Director Lu has also read the script, I think with Director Ye's current state, the role of Shensi will definitely overpower the protagonist He Tian." Meng Shi said to Lu Chengkang on the other end of the phone, "He feels that he is He Tian, but in fact, he has never been able to let go of his thoughts." ”

Why did the famous director make a bad movie, because he himself was obsessed.

Lu Chengkang knows this state, especially a director like Ye Shangmo, who doesn't follow the script and goes with his heart, "Have you told him this?" ”

Meng Shi pouted, "I said a yarn, I said that he was not in the right state, and he would give it for nothing, he went crazy directly, so I naturally patted my ass and left." ”

Lu Chengkang sighed helplessly on the phone.

Both of these are masters.

"I didn't even sigh, what are you sighing." Meng Shi said speechlessly.

Just now, Lu Chengkang said, "You told a friend who took you to see your family in person, your new film will hit the street, and I will run first with money?" ”

Meng Shi knew that he hadn't finished the sentence.

This sentence should be followed by another sentence, "Do you have a brain?" Or, "Are you stupid?" ”

In fact, Meng Shi knew very well in his heart that what he and Ye Shangmo said was not only thankless, but also offended people.

He also knows how to handle it "right".

Without saying anything in person, Lele sat down to drink tea together.

Then I went back to discuss the investment with Qin Qingxue, anyway, I just determined the initial intention, and just found an excuse such as a liquidity problem, and withdrew.

If Qin Qingxue can't stop it there, and he loses money in the future, he can even take out this matter and laugh at her.

If you choose to do this, Meng Shi will be popular on both sides and step on the two families steadily.

But in the end, he still chose to say his thoughts to his face.

Because of these two sentences, Ye Shangmo was offended, Guan Bin's role was gone, and he had to persuade Qin Qingxue, who was gearing up to enter the film industry, to give up this investment.

It was a thankless end.

"You should sigh, it's all self-inflicted." Lu Chengkang gritted his teeth and said.

"The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to its promise." Meng Shi rubbed his round head.

Wear a mask and live a mellow life, but it's too difficult to learn.

"If Director Lu feels that there is nothing wrong with what I said just now, he will help to relay it, which can be regarded as a return gift for him to introduce Su Ran to me."

"By the way, you and Su Ran say that I like her coffee and white flowers."
