Liu Heping is one of the top screenwriters in China.

He is a well-known writer in China, a national first-class screenwriter, and a historian.

He has participated in the compilation of "Chinese Opera Chronicles" and won the Outstanding Contribution Award of the Ministry of Culture.

In that year, he won the first prize for screenwriters, the Wenhua Award of the Ministry of Culture, and the first Cao Yu Drama Literature Award with a stage play "Jiashen Festival".

Later, this stage play was adapted into a 4-episode drama TV series, which was broadcast on CCTV, and won the Feitian Award for Best TV Series in the Opera category, which also made him rated as a national first-class screenwriter.

After that, he wrote scripts such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Li Wei as an Official", and "A Hundred Years of the Sea", and personally served as the screenwriter and put the scripts on the big screen.

Relying on these works, he won the award softly, and the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award were held by him one after another.

At the beginning of this year, "Ming Dynasty 1566", which was still written by him and served as the screenwriter, was being screened as the opening drama of Hunan Satellite TV.

Since the broadcast of this TV series, it has caused a sensation and is known as the peak work of Chinese historical dramas.

And Liu Heping is also known as the screenwriter who can write the most epic sense in China, and he is in the limelight for a while.

Mu Rong personally went to Hunan Province to visit Liu Heping and chatted with him for more than three hours.

Mu Rong went with an appeal, what he wanted was a story that could show Chinese culture and have an epic sense.

Before Mu Rong came, Liu Heping had already read the original script of "The King of Kung Fu".

In his opinion, that script is really not wonderful.

He agrees with the fact that the story is based on "Journey to the West", but he believes that the script of "The King of Kung Fu" is written off and deviates from the main story line of "Journey to the West".

The main story line of "Journey to the West" is the story of four Tang monks and apprentices, who went to the west to learn scriptures after hardships and dangers.

From the perspective of Hollywood, it is "The Lord of the Rings" that is closer to this main story line. The main story line of "The Lord of the Rings" is that Frodo, Sam, Melly and Pippin are a four-person protagonist group who go to the Doomsday Mountains to destroy the One Ring.

Essentially, the two stories are the same.

However, the overall structure of the script of "The King of Kung Fu" is based on the way of "Alice in Wonderland", and only part of the "Journey to the West" and "Lord of the Rings" adventures are embedded in the middle of the game, so it will seem incompatible.

After discussing with Mu Rong, Liu Heping decided to overturn the entire story structure, remove the story core of "Alice in Wonderland", and rebuild the framework with works such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Gods".

He suggested that in the background of the story, a three realms composed of the fairy world, the human world, and the demon world should be set up.

The fairy world represented by Mu Rong is high, respected by all beings in the human world, and enjoys the incense of all people.

But the immortals are emotionally deserted, and they regard all things as dogs.

The human world represented by Fang Long is the largest world in the Three Realms, full of vitality and people, although the strength is weak and troubled by the seven emotions and six desires, but it has the most powerful weapon in the world.

The demon world represented by Li Lianjie is deep underground, the environment is harsh, ferocious and aggressive, and all beings in the human world are regarded as fish and meat.

The demon was originally the master of the heavenly court of the fairy world, but because of his defeat in the battle of gods and demons, he was driven to the demon world by the gods, and set up a seal, sealing all the demons in the demon world under the four seas.

The background setting of the story is mainly based on the War of the Three Realms.

It can not only benchmark the Three Kingdoms hegemony in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also correspond to the setting of the three realms of heaven, earth, and hell in the Western cultural circle.

But a movie, with a limited duration, will definitely not be able to fully show the breadth of the Three Realms, and can only be shown in a subtle way.

Therefore, the main line of the story is still the mode of "Journey to the West" and "The Lord of the Rings", that is, the protagonist group completes an extremely difficult task, goes through hardships, and finally succeeds.

In this way, through the perspective of the protagonist group, a grand and magnificent Three Realms is displayed.

The protagonist group is still four people, a protagonist who corresponds to the person of destiny, kindness,

Courage represents the best qualities of human beings.

is like Chen Xuanzang in "Journey to the West" and Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings".

The other three are powerful helpers, namely Mu Rong, Fang Long and Li Lianjie.

Among them, Mu Rong is the messenger of the fairy world, the benchmark Sun Wukong, the guide of the protagonist, and the strongest combat power in the movie.

Fang Long is a cultivator in the human world, benchmarking Zhu Bajie, mainly contributing jokes, but at critical moments, he can save the decline.

And Li Lianjie is a pioneer spy in the demon world, targeting the little white dragon who wants to eat Tang Seng, and even the combination of the white bone essence,

Thus, the prototype of a story appeared.

Billions of years ago, the world was one.

Later, the great god Pangu opened the world, divided yin and yang, and embodied all things.

The essence of Pangu God turned into a human being and became the master of the world.

The early human beings possessed the bloodline of the boundless love of the Pangu God, as well as the residual essence of life, and could live forever and live happily.

During that period, sage emperors like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors appeared, and powerful dynasties such as Xia, Shang, and Zhou were established.

However, due to the erosion of the Nine Dark Clouds underground, the desires of some human beings were amplified, breeding evil, and the three dynasties began to fall into war.

The power of the three emperors is strong, but neither of them can subdue each other.

In the end, the three emperors died together, and the huge power shattered the world, splitting the world into the fairy world, the human world and the demon world, forming the three worlds.

After the fall of the Three Emperors, there was a brief period of peace in the early Three Realms.

People live in the immortal realm, where the essence of life is the richest, and are ruled by law enforcers.

But because the desire cannot be eliminated, some people with heavier evil thoughts have fallen into demons, creating a lot of strife and chaos in the fairy world.

In order to maintain peace, the enforcers of the fairy realm drove the people who had fallen into demons out of the fairy world.

During that time, demons lived in the human world.

But with more and more people who have fallen into demons, coupled with the increasingly strict review of law enforcers, many people who have not yet fallen into demons have also been driven out of the fairy world.

A large number of people and demons are mixed, living in the human world, and there are also a lot of wars in the human world.

Later, saints appeared in the human world, calling on human beings to do good and eliminate evil thoughts.

Under the leadership of the saints, human beings have discovered that as long as they are dedicated to goodness, even if they have fallen into demons, they can gradually return to adulthood.

This shook the foundation of the rule of the Immortal Realm enforcers, who denounced the saint as a demon and launched a wanted warrant.

In the end, the enforcers killed the saint, and the seventy-two apprentices of the saint degenerated into demon kings and fought against the immortal enforcers, and the Three Realms fell into war.

In the end, the Immortal Realm enforcers won a crushing victory, and at great cost, they drove all the demons into the underground demon realm and imposed a seal.

In order to recuperate, the enforcers retreated to the fairy realm and blocked the entrance.

Since then, the Three Realms have been isolated, and human beings have been divided into three groups.

Among them, the enforcers with powerful mana, who call themselves immortals, live in the fairy world, control most of the life essence, and enjoy eternal life.

People who have neither powerful mana nor have been completely devoured by desires, who live in the human realm, are called mortals, and can only live in the human world where the essence of life is thin for decades.

However, the inheritance of the saints in the human world has not been broken, and there is a group of mysterious monks who are passing on the ideas of the saints, and they are called masters, that is.

But because the immortals strictly forbade the spread of the idea of saints, the masters could only educate mortals in secret and spread good thoughts.

A person who is devoured by lust and completely depraved lives in the demon realm and is called a demon man.

Because there is no life essence underground, the life span of the demon is only a short eighteen years, but it has a powerful evil power, and it is always thinking of breaking the seal and reclaiming the fairy world.

And the story that the movie wants to tell starts from a quiet and peaceful mountain village 10,000 years after the end of the War of the Three Realms.
