Chapter 1180: A Threat from Entertainment
Several great monks, such as Guangwen of the Buddha's teaching, stayed in the holy place of the Dawn Church for more than half a month, pestering Bartley and others to preach the scriptures and teachings all day long. In the face of such a person, he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold and scold, which made Bartley and the others have a headache. Fortunately, Ye Zan has been planning for half a month, and finally came up with some methods that may be useful.
The first is the "square dance", the brainwashing song accompanied by the demonic dance, although it may have a limited impact on a few monks, but at least it can enrich the spare time life of the believers of the church. After all, the daily life of the original believers, except for prayer and study, is really boring, and it is easy for the monks to take advantage of the loopholes.
When do people need faith? First, when life is faced with despair, and second, when the spirit is empty. Although, the believers of the Dawn Church, believing in the goddess of Dawn, should not be spiritually empty. But the reality is that not all believers can fill their spirits with faith, and only a few fanatical believers can do it. The vast majority of believers, while possessing faith, also need some entertainment.
Of course, the entertainment prepared by Ye Zan for the believers was not only the noisy and noisy square dance, but also other more kinds of entertainment. It's just that everything has to be done step by step, and Ye Zan can't throw everything out in one go.
Ye Zan's plan is to slowly move the Internet, film and television, drama, music, etc. to the world of Dawn. And the believers of the Dawn Church are actually only the first to experience this, and everything will eventually spread to the whole world. Moreover, this spiritual entertainment is also a great boost to cultural invasion, which can further make the people of the Dawn World accept the monastic civilization.
Guangwen monk and the others only thought that Ye Zan was going to use a square dance to quarrel with them, and they hadn't thought about anything deeper. It's not that they're stupid, it's just a fixed way of thinking that makes them unable to think of anything else. It's as if in the matter of preaching, almost everyone didn't expect that Ye Zan would use the method of tampering with the history of the Dawn World to popularize the concept of "Tao".
Hearing Bartley's "invitation", Monk Guangwen and the others didn't think much about it, and kept chanting the explanatory scriptures, while keeping up with Bartley's footsteps without care. In the eyes of the Guangwen monks, it is impossible for Ye Zan to have any good way to deal with his rogue methods, unless he does it directly.
In fact, not only the widely heard monks, but also Bartley's heart, they are not very confident in Ye Zan's so-called method.
Soon, led by Bartley, the group came to a room that had just been emptied. At this time, the room where the original furniture was cleaned up has been rearranged into a different look. In front of this room, in addition to hanging a huge white curtain, a stage with a small area was also erected. At the bottom of the stage, rows of chairs are neatly arranged, looking like some school auditorium, or a simple movie screening hall.
"A few great monks, please sit down casually, there will be good things to see later. Bartley had already received the summons from Ye Zan, so he turned his head and said to the monks who came with him.
"Oh, this arrangement, isn't it to preach the scriptures and discuss the Tao?" When the monk Guangwen saw the layout in the room, the first thing that came to mind was: This place is really suitable for preaching and preaching.
"Hehe, the great monk doesn't have to speculate, just sit back and wait for a while, and then you will know what it is for. Bartley gathered the other church leaders to the best viewing position in the middle of the screening room, and each found a seat and sat down.
Seeing the movements of Bartley and the others, the monk Guangwen and the others stopped guessing, and they all went over and sat nearby. Of course, until this time, they hadn't forgotten it, and continued to harass Bartley and the others, and they still kept babbling one by one.
However, at this moment, the entire screening room suddenly dimmed, and then a moving image appeared on the huge white screen in front of it.
"The Legend of the White Snake?" Seeing the title on the screen, Guangwen monk and others were full of inexplicability, but they couldn't help but stop chattering in their mouths.
"In order to go further, let the people of this world yearn for and learn some things about the 'Tao', Ye specially prepared these dramas. He called this cultural invasion, or cultural infiltration, in short, to allow the natives to receive all kinds of things related to the Tao in entertainment, and to be able to actively explore and learn with interest. Seeing that the monk and the others had stopped talking, Bartley explained to them.
"Drama...... Is it for the sake of preaching?"
Through entertainment, such as drama, film and television, and music, the promotion of monastic civilization to the world of Dawn is an auxiliary to Ye Zan's "universal education" plan. After all, if you want people to learn something, you must first let them know that it is useful to learn it, and then you must make them interested enough to learn it.
It's just that because the monk was a scoundrel, Ye Zan made some changes to those entertainment works. For example, in "The Legend of the White Snake" that is being broadcast now, "Fahai" can already be regarded as a villain, but Ye Zan has modified him to be much more shameless.
Sure enough, not long after watching it, seeing the various performances of "Fahai" inside, the faces of the monks and others finally became rarely gloomy.
"This ...... This is slander, a slander against my teachings!" A great monk suddenly stood up and said angrily to Bartley and the others.
"Don't be anxious, great monk! Isn't your anger and depravity a violation of your rebellious precepts?" said Felena with a chuckle, and when she could see the anxious eyes of several monks, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Guangzhi, sit down, look down with peace of mind, and see what gifts Wuji Daoist has prepared for us!" Monk Guangwen was still able to sit still, and said to his junior brother in a deep voice.
"Yes, although this Fahai is hateful, he only represents him personally, how can it be said that he is slandering the Buddha's teachings. Bartley also argued happily, but there was no credibility in that tone.
With the broadcast of the film, the plot came to the end step by step, but unlike the traditional Legend of the White Snake, the ending of the Legend of the White Snake was naturally changed by Ye Zan. In this legend of the White Snake, a cultivator finally appeared, rescued Xu Xian, the White Snake, and the Green Snake, and defeated the evil and filthy villain Fahai. Moreover, Xu Xian worshipped that cultivator as his teacher, cultivated the art of immortality, and became a pair of immortal couples with the white snake.
"Whew!" Several great monks, after seeing the end of the film, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't know what you mean by asking me to wait and see this thing?" Monk Guangwen asked Bartley a little unnaturally.
"Hehe, don't worry, a few great monks, let's continue to look down, there are many more. Bartley, however, seemed to be in a rather happy mood, and did not immediately answer Monk Guangwen's question.
In order to fight back, in order to disgust the monks, Ye Zanke arranged a lot of works similar to this "The Legend of the White Snake". He doesn't need to think about it, just replace the villain in some works with a monk. And with his technology, it's quite easy to do this, and there is no need to reshoot or anything.
Ye Zan, who comes from the world of science and technology, knows how terrifying the influence of smuggling in entertainment works can be. In the world of science and technology, why do all countries have very strict management over cultural and entertainment works? It is because the private goods sandwiched here are too easy to unconsciously guide people's thoughts and emotions.
Does the so-called "defense of the people be more important than the defense of Sichuan" really means that we should let people's speech go unchecked? In the face of the torrent of public opinion, simply building a dam to block it is indeed not a very good method. However, in terms of water control, isn't there still a saying that "blocking is better than sparseness"? And the meaning of "sparseness" is to consciously guide, that is, the so-called "control of public opinion" in the Internet era.
Therefore, Ye Zan used his understanding of this aspect to add "anti-interpretation" to various entertainment works. It is conceivable that after these entertainment works are spread, the natives of the entire Dawn World will inevitably have a great impact on their senses of "Buddha".
After all, not everyone can clearly distinguish what is real and what is illusory. In the world of technology, there have been cases where an actor who plays a villain in a drama is shot dead on stage by an audience below. Later, in the Internet era, known as the era of "people's wisdom is opened", there are also many people on the Internet who can't distinguish between reality and illusion.
For example, there is an "entertainment category" on the Internet, which is basically a person who travels to another world, and then transports the works of the original world to obtain fame and fortune in all aspects. In this kind of book review area, there is often a group of people who scold "copying and infringement" in order to show their noble character, which is simply inexplicable. Even, some authors also have a "moral cleanliness", believing that writing "copy" is infringement, so they insist on the work in their "original" works......
Therefore, taking out these "anti-interpretation" works of Ye Zan will definitely cause a lot of trouble to the teachings. At that time, the "preaching" of Buddhism in the world of Dawn will not be fruitless, but it will definitely be a bumpy road.
It took a whole day for Bartley to invite a few great monks and enjoy more than a dozen entertainment works, all of which had elements of scandalizing and expounding Buddhism. At this moment, Guangwen monk and others, where can they still sit still, their faces are annoyed and anxious, and they want to turn their faces but have a lot of scruples.
"Fellow Daoist, let's talk about what you want. Monk Guangwen finally couldn't hold back the question again.
"Several great monks have been guests here for more than ten days, and they have also allowed me to see the means of expounding the teachings. It's a pity that we have no intention of going to the Buddha, so we can only live up to the good intentions of a few great monks. Hearing the inquiry, Bartley felt that the heat was almost over, so he stopped playing new entertainment works, and stopped and said with some regret.
Although Bartley's words are quite euphemistic, the meaning of "chasing customers" is also obvious. A few big monks have been guests for more than ten days, and they have also annoyed Bartley for more than ten days, and now it is time to take the initiative to leave.
"The meaning of the Taoist friend, the poor monk has already understood, but these things are ......" The monk Guangwen didn't dare to play a scoundrel anymore, and he really felt helpless and afraid of the works he had seen.
"Ye has already said that if the well water of you and me does not interfere with the river water, then these things will not appear in this plan. On the other hand, if a few great monks still don't give up and continue to be guests here, although we can't lose our politeness, but ......," Bartley said with a smile on his face, looking quite comfortable.
Indeed, even a fly can be beaten off with a fly swatter, and it has been annoyed by these big monks for more than half a month, but they can't drive people away, which makes Bartley and the others feel aggrieved. Now, there is finally a way to deal with it on his side, and it seems that it does make a few monks extremely jealous, and a mouthful of depression can finally be spit out.
"A few poor monks, they have been disturbed here for more than ten days, and it is indeed time to leave!" Although Monk Guangwen was unwilling, in the face of Ye Zan's threat, he could only temporarily give up his original plan before he could figure out how to deal with it.
Of course, why is it said that Ye Zan took out these things to "injure a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred"? It is because these things displayed by Ye Zan actually inspired them while threatening Monk Guangwen and others. Although the Guangwen monks do not have the technological means of Ye Zan, it is not impossible to start from the drama aspect.
Moreover, you must know that Ye Zan's equipment and methods for shooting movies have long been no secret in the Shenhua Domain. For example, the Meizong is a "big factory" that produces local film and television works in the Shenhua Domain, and it has long been free from the shackles of the "Eighteen Prohibitions". Therefore, it is not very difficult for Shakti to acquire the method of making a film as long as he has the heart.
But in any case, being able to get rid of these great monks can be regarded as a catastrophe from Ye Zan's side.
"In that case, then I won't keep a few more!" Bartley was also simply, when he heard that the other party was finally leaving, he didn't even omit polite reservations.
"Alas, I only hope that Wuji Daoist friends can be less prejudiced against my teachings, and don't let these absurd things flow in this realm. Monk Guangwen didn't waste time, and after giving Bartley a final warning, he sighed and led a few senior brothers to get up and walk out of the screening hall.
In the screening hall, Bartley and the others looked at each other and smiled, and they also exhaled a long breath, and then immediately followed the Guangwen monk and others who went out. After all, the guest is leaving, and it is just a matter of not keeping it, and this gift is still going to be given as a gift, so it must not be too rude. Fupin Chinese
