159. Cause and effect at the end of the leaf

In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the red candles burning next to the tall and solemn Buddha statues are spreading, and the smell of sandalwood is permeating.

Meng Shi followed the steady pace of the old monk and walked through the weaving of tourists.

Behind the temple is a steep stone staircase up the hill.

The two of them didn't say a word, they had their own ideas in their hearts, and they walked for about ten minutes to Yuhu Nunnery.

The Yuhu Nunnery is not big, and the courtyard wall of the stone base is only one person high.

The old monk pushed open the door, there was a Buddhist hall in the courtyard, two squatter rooms, the blue brick paving, no fallen leaves, the doors and windows were old but clean, and someone wanted to clean them from time to time.

Meng Shi walked into the squatter room on the left with the old monk, which was simply furnished, with some Buddhist calligraphy and paintings on the surrounding walls, and an old-fashioned square table and two wooden chairs in the middle of the room, the wooden tables and chairs showed an antique color.

The old monk put the tin staff against the wall, put the two scripts bound on white paper side by side on the square table, and said to Meng Shi, "Little friend, please sit down and talk." ”

Meng Shi sat across from him.

The old monk said: "The poor monk is called Xingsheng. ”

Meng Shi said, "Meng... Meng Shi, the younger generation Meng Shi. ”

The old monk turned the booklet with no name on the cover to the page he had seen before, and gently pushed it forward, "The sky does not cover the eyes, the earth does not bury the heart, the Buddhas have disappeared, and all living beings know what you mean, dare to ask Xiaoyou what they mean by wanting all living beings to understand." ”

Meng Shi shook his head embarrassedly, "The script, the script, it's all fake, how can I make all beings understand." ”

The old monk smiled, "Xiaoyou said before that he was going to do a bad thing, and I think it was related to these two scripts. ”

Meng Shi picked it up and pulled out two pieces of paper from it.

It's not written in a standard script format, it's more like an essay, it's messy.

At first glance, he couldn't help but think of the news he had seen before, saying that when Wong Kar-wai was filming, until the final filming, the actor didn't know what he was playing.

Not to this extent, the two pieces of paper that Meng Shi took out were the main line he sorted out.

The simple summary is -

The 107th generation of the empty Zen temple that suppressed the side of the "Fayun Land" Nirvana, and the monk "Shensi" urged the reincarnation magic weapon, and wanted to lead the legendary 108th generation of the Buddha to return to the empty Zen Temple.

Unexpectedly, the "spirit child" in this life was not a newborn baby, but a 15-year-old boy "He Tian".

This situation has been inherited by the empty temple for thousands of years and has never appeared.

And when Shensi came to the small mountain village to find He Tian, He Tianzheng and a shepherdesss rolled the grass, and the golden body was broken.

The "Wisdom Fruit" condensed from the 107th "Fayun Land" sank into the obscurity of the sea of knowledge, and did not respond to the mantras used to awaken the inheritance of the past world.

In other words, the "nuclear weapons" that the empty temple can suppress one side are gone.

Faced with this situation, Shen Si could only secretly cast a spell to protect He Tian, and at the same time cover up the traces of his own visit to the mountain village, and found a baby to return to the temple, conveying the message that the empty temple had welcomed back this generation of reincarnated spirit children.

Shensi used the fake spirit child to deter the big demon who was about to move, and helped the empty Zen Temple to fall into the general.

At the same time, he was also disturbed by delusions, struggling with whether to "exceed" He Tian and let the Huiguo that had condensed the cultivation of the 107th generation of Fayun Land re-enter the "reincarnation".

Ye Shangmo wrote in the script: In the meditation of the mind, when I think of it, it is difficult to calm down - "All sentient beings can become Buddhas, since Huiguo is already dark in Hetian, why can't you vote for me?" ”

A year later, Shensi took He Tian to the Kongzen Temple as a disciple to teach him to practice, and began to face his own demons.

But He Tian didn't want to learn Buddhism and practice, he just wanted to go back to the mountain village and be with the shepherdess.

As time passed, the divine mind stimulated the broken reincarnation magic weapon, and the coercion that erupted became weaker and weaker, and the prophecy that the 108th generation of Fayun Land would become a Buddha made the big demons gradually unable to sit still and began to test again and again.

As the Empty Zen Temple was crumbling, the demons in his mind became more and more profound, and he was finally no longer gentle to He Tian.

……

The ending is-"He Tian let go of his love, turned his back to the world, put on his robe, was covered with Buddha light, and went away to face the demon of destroying the world." ”

A complete story consists of "beginning, bearing, turning, and combining".

What Meng Shi got in his hands was an incomplete script, in which there was no "turn", the most critical part, that is, the change process of He Tian.

This also caused Meng Shi to read the script for the first time and didn't figure out what the core of the whole story was.

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

Ye Shangmo is an art film director and won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

The chairman of the jury at that time commented on him -

"There are always some people, when telling stories, who are carried by ambition and talent, from one era to another, because of the prosperity and loneliness of an era, they can't satisfy their generosity, Ye is this kind of person."

If Ye Shangmo spends a few years writing the script by himself, spends a lot of money on setting up the scene, and finds a student named Lunzhu Zhuoma, which means "Natural Tara", as the heroine, just to make a simple commercial film with no private goods, this possibility is the same as the salted fish author suddenly began to change ten chapters a day - impossible!

With this thought, Meng Shi returned to Qingxue Media, and after listening to Qin Qingxue say that Ye Shangmo was gay, he read the script to understand the ending.

He Tian let go of his love, became a Buddha and faced the devil, corresponding to reality, the Buddha who was reincarnated for thousands of generations is a lover who is not accepted by the world's eyes, for him, Ye Shangmo is willing to turn his back on all beings.

At that moment, Meng Shijue's 20 million could be invested, because with this kind of strength, with Ye Shangmo's ability, it may be made into a classic.

After seeing Su Ran, Meng Shi changed this idea.

Su Ran is a matter of gender cognition, not sexual orientation.

Just like the question Meng Shi and Su Ran asked when they met for the first time, "If this little female cat thinks it is a person in my heart, and I think it is a person, then is it considered a human/beast/love together?" ”

Su Ran can't change sex because of her physique, but she always thinks of herself as a woman in her heart, and she longs for everything that a woman has, including a man.

For Su Ran, she is not gay.

What about the end of the leaf?

Maybe Ye Shangmo was very clear at the beginning, after all, no straight man has nothing to stab others PY.

But as time passed, Su Ran's completely feminine soul made him begin to doubt himself, did he like her soul as a woman or as a man's body when he was with Su Ran?

Lu Chengkang said that the two of them have been together for more than ten years, and the people who can be taken to see Su Ran by Ye Shangmo are less than ten when they count Meng Shi, which is enough to show his entanglement, except for the people who are recognized, he doesn't want anyone to know Su Ran and know their relationship at the same time.

It is the product of his entanglement.

Ye Shangmo thought that he could be He Tian and live a lifetime with his back to all beings and Su Ran.

But Meng Shi and Lu Chengkang, two bystanders who were recognized by him, after discussion, felt that he couldn't do it.

It's like the homosexuality who proves his "normal" by molesting women in the midday sun.

Ye Shangmo can't become a "He Tian" with his back to all beings, he cares too much about what others think of him, otherwise he wouldn't try to prove himself with "commercial films".

In the eyes of Meng Shi and Lu Chengkang, he was more like being trapped by demons, and felt that he was only one step away from becoming a Buddha.

Ye Shangmo wore a mask on his face, his left hand wanted to transform to make money, and his right hand took his tangled thoughts and stuffed it in, and the final result in this state was to shoot a four-like.

In this state, people are lost, and others can't persuade them to move - the more he pulls, the faster he goes.

Just like Chen Kaige's filming back then, even if it was released after filming, the box office and word-of-mouth fell to the ground.

He didn't realize what the problem was, but he thought in his heart that he was aesthetically ahead and made a work that could be compared, and said more than once in the media, "We'll see it in ten years!" ”

Meng Shi handed the two pages to the old monk and said, "Look at this, and if you can, please give the next comment." ”

He hasn't returned the script, and he's waiting for this day.

That day in Su Ran's cat café, Meng Shi said to Ye Shangmo, you are not in the right state, you may give it for nothing this time, and Qin Qingxue will withdraw.

This means that he is "sick".

Ye Shangmo was furious, and the two broke up unhappily.

Responsibility needs to be discussed.

When Meng Shi asked Zen today, he asked the "Buddha" to help him tell him what "disease" he had.
