"Don't scold yet!"

Syllable.

Meng Shi reached out and closed the notebook and covered it for Lu Chengkang.

This goods are very clear, only Lu Chengkang was forced to be anxious, and he could scold him unscrupulously, so he took the first step to hold it down.

Lu Chengkang only felt that his eyes were dark, and when the words came to his mouth, he was pushed back, and then he heard Meng Shi's voice coming, "You listen to me cunning... Explain why I showed you this script and then didn't shoot it, it's for a reason. ”

Yu Churu's eyes stared at Meng Shi, waiting for him to give an explanation.

She has devoted all her free time this week to this script, and now Meng Shi is fluttering and saying, "Write and play, don't shoot", even if she has a good temper, she can't stand it.

Lu Chengkang looked at the dark screen and said angrily, "Do you think you are very humorous?" ”

He joked, you don't hate desperate stories the most, I didn't expect this thing to be really straight and not filmed.

Meng Shi lifted the notebook, "released" Lu Chengkang, pointed to the script on the table, and smiled at Lu Chengkang, who had a very bad face, "Director Lu, you will understand what I mean when you listen to me read this story completely." ”

Lu Chengkang didn't speak, just stared at him, these two masters and apprentices have one virtue.

Meng Shi put down the teacup curtly, sat down upright, and said, "In my design, this script has two timelines, 'Havoc in the Heavenly Palace' five hundred years ago and 'Journey to the West' five hundred years later, two monkeys, one with a golden hoop, and the other without a ......."

He shook the half-burned map, and clicked on the folded trace, "The two timelines are independent first, and then coincide, and the starting point is Journey to the West,

Sun Wukong subdued a banshee, and the other party was originally his old man 'Ah Yao' five hundred years ago,

Ah Yao was originally a fairy who picked peaches at the Queen Mother's peach feast, but he was beaten down to the mortal world because he stole peaches and became a goblin on the westbound road.

But at this time, Sun Wukong had already forgotten everything five hundred years ago, and told A-Yao that he had to complete the westward journey of the Tang monk and kill the Bull Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Macaque King, and the Monkey King, in order to redeem the sins committed before and achieve positive results, and she was just a little merit on the road.

Ah Yao was stunned and trembled, but because of the curse, she couldn't tell the slightest antecedent, and fainted in pain.

Goku pulled out the golden hoop stick and tried to kill her, but in the end he didn't make a move......"

Meng Shi saw that several people were listening carefully, and continued, "When Sun Wukong returned to the scripture learning team, there was a blue moon in the sky, and the Milky Way quietly shone the light of the sky on a pig that was laughing and crying.

Next to the pig is the corpse of Tang Seng, Sha Wujing and Xiao Bailong have disappeared,

To achieve positive results, it is necessary to protect Tang Seng to go west, Sun Wukong wants to try to resurrect Tang Seng, he went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to ask for a fixed face pearl that can protect the corpse from decay, but was told by the Dragon King that the baby has been borrowed first,

Wukong had no choice but to leave, and went to the underworld to find Tang Seng's soul, when he found that Tang Seng's soul was not here, the polite farewell attracted bursts of ridicule, and Wukong, who did not understand the deep meaning, rushed to heaven. ”

Meng Shi stopped as he spoke, picked up the teacup, and glanced at Yu Churu, Yu Churu just opened her script, Zeng Rou and Su Ran probed to look at it.

————————

Sun Wukong came to Heaven with a twist.

He didn't remember that he had been to the Heavenly Palace, but as if he knew the way, he walked all the way to a peach orchard by feeling.

In the sea of clouds, a fairy in purple came.

Wukong asked, "Little girl! Oh no, female Bodhisattva, may I ask to go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall? ”

Zixia was taken aback, looked back at him, and said for a long time, "You ......"

Wukong: "The female Bodhisattva doesn't recognize me, my name is Sun Wukong, the first time I went to heaven, I don't know the path." ”

"You, you don't recognize ......" Zixia smiled and said, "Who am I?" ”

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Who are you, how can you ask me?" ”

Zixia smiled, just looked at Sun Wukong in a daze, and after a while, she said, "I'm Zixia." ”

Sun Wukong smiled: "Yes." ”

Zixia smiled again: "Yes." ”

Sun Wukong also smiled: "Yes." ”

Zixia: "Where are you going, where are you going......"

Wukong: "Lingxiao Treasure Palace!" ”

————————

Zeng Rou and Su Ran lowered their heads to read the script, while Yu Churu stared at Meng Shi.

Meng Shi saw it in her eyes - "Within three days, the shark will shark you and give you all your ashes to ......"

Well, this thing doesn't have the ability to read words from people's eyes, it's completely a villain's heart, and he lives others with himself.

Whoever sends him a script, asks him to study it for a week, and then says, "Don't shoot it?"

Meng Shi specified that he would have no good fruit to eat.

Meng Shi avoided Yu Churu's scorching gaze a little weakly, put down the teacup, and continued,

"Sun Wukong entered the Lingxiao Treasure Palace,

Sha Wujing stood in the center of the hall and said to the Jade Emperor, 'Sun Wukong killed the scripture learner',

Immediately afterwards, someone reported that Sun Wukong infiltrated the Dragon Palace, killed Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, entered the underworld and injured the Hades King, and killed 141,000 ghosts. ”

"Here, the report will be filmed in two interludes, as the beginning of the timeline folding."

Meng Shi mentioned it for a while, and then continued,

"Ryugu.

Ao Guang saw the monkey jump away and sighed, "I was also a generation of heroes back then, but now I don't know why I'm busy." ”

As soon as he turned around, he screamed, and another Monkey King standing behind him was holding a golden hoop stick in his hand.

Underworld.

The monkey with the golden hoop left politely, and in the shrill ridicule of thousands of ghosts, Sun Wukong, who had no golden hoop on his head in the dark, walked out step by step and jumped into the formation.

Faced with the accusation, Wukong did not know that there was another monkey, he thought that all this was a false accusation, and was annoyed that the heavenly court did not distinguish between right and wrong, and began to fight with Sha Wujing, but the golden hoop on his head did not allow him to disobey the gods, and suddenly tightened. ”

Meng Shi said and looked at Yu Churu again, this time he was not empty-hearted.

This thing has a thick face and a black heart, and last time his heart was empty for three seconds, but this time it is completely gone.

picked up the apple on the table and nibbled on it, and said to Chu Ru, "If you help me continue, I'll go to the next page." ”

Yu Churu didn't speak, just looked at him.

Meng Shi was not embarrassed, picked up the pages in front of her casually, and read,

"At this moment, Zixia walked alone to the border of the sky, next to the cloud, she looked at the sea of clouds, and a familiar voice said, 'Little girl, are you crying here again?'

She turned her head, and the monkey stood there, as if he had never left, as if he had never left, as if he had never left.

Zixia said coldly, "Didn't you go to the West Heaven?" ’

Sun Wukong smiled: 'Xitian? Where is the western sky? As soon as Lao Sun was happy, he turned the sky upside down, and this became the western sky! ’

'Didn't you make a big fuss about Lingxiao Hall and be captured?' ’

'Lao Sun was reborn in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun five hundred years ago, and he has never been caught! ’

'And who are they arresting?' ’

Sun Wukong looked at the Lingxiao Palace: "A stupid hat that likes to wear a golden hoop on his head. ’

He looked up at the sky, 'It's been five hundred years, it's still so gloomy and stuffy, wait for me to open a skylight to let in the air!' ’

As soon as Sun Wukong stretched out his hand, the golden hoop rod turned into a beam of golden light and plunged straight into the sky.

The zenith burst a gap, and fire flowed down from there, igniting the sky. ”

Meng Shi put down the script, looked at Yu Churu, and asked, "Do you know what is outside the sky?" ”

Yu Churu raised her head slightly, as if there was a scene in front of her that she had never seen before.

Meng Shi said, "It's really strange why no one wanted to open it before." ”

Yu Churu said in an almost murmuring voice, "Really...... It's good-looking, better than the sunset. ”

Meng Shi applauded vigorously, "Good acting skills!" Congratulations on getting the role of Zixia! ”

Lu Chengkang on the screen, Su Ran, Yu Churu, and Zeng Rou on the opposite side, four people, eight eyes staring at him.

Meng Shi asked, "Huh...... Isn't it funny? ”

Lu Chengkang said slowly, "What do you think? ”

"Ahem." Meng Shi looked at his nose and nose and mouth, "Lingxiao Palace, Wukong with a golden hoop was captured, and he saw Guanyin in the dark,

Guanyin asked him, 'Do you want to achieve positive results?' Do you want to know who killed Tang Seng and framed you? Do you want to remove the hoop? ’

When Wukong opened his eyes, he saw the face that was exactly the same as him in the flames in the distance.

Guanyin said, 'This is the demon monkey, kill him, and you will be a good result!' ’

The two monkeys fought, the Lingxiao Hall collapsed, and the Jade Emperor shouted, go and invite Lu to the Buddha!

If it comes, a palm of the Five Elements Mountain will suppress the monkey without a golden hoop, but the monkey is furious and struggles.

Rulai said to Sun Wukong, who was wearing a golden hoop, 'If you don't do it now, when will you wait?' ’

'Do you want to be successful?' Do you want to know who killed Tang Seng and framed you? Do you want to remove the hoop? ’

Guanyin's words were still in his ears, and Wukong jumped up, a swing that was unparalleled.

He was victorious again, and like the battles with countless youkai on the way to the west, he was always the last victor.

With the death of the 'demon monkey', the surface of the 'victorious' Wukong's body was like a stone cracking, and the golden Buddha light came out of his body.

For example, 'Monkey King, you should defeat the Buddha in a fight.' ’

At this moment, Sun Wukong remembered everything.

Five hundred years ago, five hundred years ago, and five hundred years later, coincided, and Journey to the West was just a scam.

No one can defeat Sun Wukong, only himself can defeat him.

When he kills his past self, he obtains the "positive result" and embarks on the road to "Buddhahood".

The former demon king Sun Wukong no longer exists, and in the future, the world will only remember that Sun Wukong became a Buddha.

What is the so-called Buddhahood, but it is nothing more than turning into a clay statue without a soul.

On the occasion of 'becoming a Buddha', Sun Wukong raised the golden hoop stick in his hand in the face of Rulai, roared, and greeted him. ”

Meng Shi poured a sip of tea, "The back is the easter egg I said, Zixia walked into the raging fire with Wukong's corpse, Rulai put away the burned golden hoop, threw the stone into the world, A-Yao buried the stone in Huaguo Mountain, which had already become a scorched earth, and everything started again." ”

Kill yourself and achieve positive results.

And is this the right result, is it really what you want?

Meng Shi said that he asked for two poems in the Zen temple.

On the cover of the book is written "Bodhi is originally sought from the heart, and He Lao seeks the mystery from the outside".

I don't know what is written on the real script.

Lu Chengkang didn't believe that this script that was so unfriendly to Buddhism would have any monk willing to write a verse on it.

He lit a cigarette and said,

"Two five hundred years in parallel,

A monkey with a golden hoop and no memory, who only wants the right fruit, is in front of him, and asks for the heavenly palace all the way.

A monkey without a golden hoop followed closely behind, stepping into the sky.

In the end, a burned golden hoop and a stubborn stone that could not be burned intersected in the palm of Rulai.

Low-cost commercial films, the winning point is in the new, strange, and ingenious, either with depth or with brain holes, this kind of plot design, the folding of the two timelines, is still brilliant, but ......"

Lu Chengkang said that this suddenly stopped, "You only have 20 million, but you wrote a script that 200 million may not be enough?" ”

Dragon Palace, Difu, Heavenly Court, the battle between the two monkeys, and the final appearance of Rulai, 20 million is not enough for special effects to burn.

Meng Shi smiled, "Even if the money is in place, this script can't be filmed now, or rather, it can't be filmed." ”

Lu Chengkang nodded in agreement, what he didn't finish was that he just felt that there was something wrong with this script.

Zeng Rou asked, "Why?" ”

She didn't quite understand why she couldn't shoot when the money was in place.

From the death of Tang Seng, the two monkeys have spent the Dragon Palace, the underworld, and the heavenly court in different ways, and when Zixia appeared, the two five hundred years began to fold and coincide, until finally the Monkey King's stone body collapsed, and with the Buddha light of becoming a Buddha, he waved his stick to meet the Buddha's coming, and finally the stubborn stone returned to the world.

From、Bearing、Turn、Together,This book has a high degree of completion, right?

Meng Shi asked Yu Churu, "Can you understand why?" ”

Yu Churu shook her head, she is an actress, and her way of thinking about problems is different from that of the director, she just feels that she likes the role of Zixia very much.

Lu Chengkang said, "This book is too full, if you really shoot it, it will look space." ”

Zeng Rou looked stunned, Yu Churu also frowned, but Su Ran, who was familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, did not react when he heard this.

Lu Chengkang saw that Yu Churu didn't understand, and explained, "Meng Shi is only combing the main line, many things are brought in one sentence, and he deliberately eliminated the presence of Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Xiaobailong, even so, there are still problems that have to be mentioned.

How did Tang Seng die?

Who borrowed the Dingyan beads?

Why did Sha Wujing go directly to Heaven after Tang Seng's death?

Does Zixia love Monkey King?

And most crucially,

Is this Journey to the West scam just to kill Sun Wukong?

Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn't end up throwing the stone into the world and start another reincarnation.

So what exactly is his purpose?

These fall into the movie, and it takes time to explain,

And movies are not TV series, and there is not so much time for you to fill in all the details, so the script is too full, the concepts are implanted too much, and it is difficult to understand, let alone agree with the theme and emotions that the film wants to express.

If these intertwined logical relationships are not sorted out, the audience will not be able to truly substitute into the background of the story. ”

Lu Chengkang's eyes were sharp and hit the nail on the head.

This is the reason why Meng Shi did not shoot.

It's too full, it takes 90 minutes, 120 minutes is inexhaustible, and if you forcibly operate, it will be like Lu Chengkang said, the script is too full, but the audience sees space, and then it just can't go up or down, and it's in a trance.

Lu Chengkang pressed the cigarette out in the ashtray, "So this is a big frame? ”

Since Meng Shi knew in his heart that the script could not be filmed, and he took it out, after ruling out that this product was really looking for a draw, there was only this reason left.

When Meng Shi was talking to Lu Chengkang, he gnawed a whole apple, wiped his mouth, nodded and said, "This is a completely different story from our cognition of Journey to the West, all concepts are new, including character and character background, this script is not taken out to amuse you, it is a backbone, a framework." ”

Lu Chengkang lit another cigarette, thought of his report about the martial arts world of the Republic of China, and asked, "What about the specific plan?" ”

Meng Shi put up two fingers and said, "First lay out a westward journey line that can be set up with different worldviews and different characters in our cognition for a few minutes per episode, and then ......"

"Wait a minute." Lu Chengkang interrupted him, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

"The Journey to the West is what happened on the way to learn scriptures in the worldview that I want from master and apprentice, just like this."

Meng Shi scratched his head, took out his mobile phone and flipped out the memo, which was written in various idle times, and held it in front of the camera for Lu Chengkang to see.

1、

The monkey stood and dozed off.

The pig said, "I know what you want?" You must want to find a tree and sleep on it with its tail hanging upside down. ”

"It's a big tree, and I've been looking for it all my life."

"Does this have anything to do with your toppling of the ginseng fruit tree in Wuzhuang Temple?"

"A tree that big shouldn't grow in a courtyard. He has been transformed by the gods, and he is full of strange fruits that the gods love to eat, and he grows only as long as the gods
