"Why don't almost all Chinese people think that Sun Wukong's people have a problem?" Seeing the unanimous negative comments on the whole network, Liu Xu smiled bitterly and thought about this question curiously.

Soon, Liu Xu had the answer, that is, all this was affected by the Journey to the West filter.

So what is the Journey to the West filter?

Many people may think that this should be a variety of filters accumulated by Chinese people over hundreds of years after reading the original Journey to the West, but in fact, the Journey to the West filter refers to various Journey to the West cultural products.

When it comes to the four famous novels, all Chinese people are like treasures, as if the Chinese people who have not read the four famous books are not Chinese people.

But in fact, if you go around and ask around you, you will find that there may only be 2 out of 5 Chinese people who have really read any of the original books of the four famous novels.

Moreover, this is still in the modern era when the literacy rate is extremely developed and illiteracy has almost been completely eradicated, if it is placed seventy or eighty years ago, then the whole of China has read any of the four famous books, I am afraid that only two out of 100 people are only two.

After all, in China during the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, the literacy rate was less than 10%, and the four famous works were like heavenly books in the eyes of ordinary people, and they couldn't understand them at all.

What really makes the concept of the Four Great Masterpieces deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is actually the various secondary creation cultures of the Four Great Masterpieces.

The term Erchuang culture may sound like a term that only emerged in the 21st century, but in fact, Erchuang culture has been developing in China for thousands of years.

Take Journey to the West as an example, the number of readers who have actually finished reading the original Journey to the West is very small, but there are many readers who feel moved after reading Journey to the West, and carry out their own processing on the original text of Journey to the West, and finally give birth to a large number of secondary works.

The first second creation came from the storyteller, and in the era when the vast majority of Chinese people were illiterate, the only way for these Chinese people to understand culture and news was the two mouths of the storyteller.

After the storyteller found that the story of Journey to the West was quite watchable, he immediately adapted Journey to the West into a storytelling that was specially told by mouth, and then gradually spread among Chinese people with taverns and teahouses, as well as social dramas and other entertainment activities held by various villages and clans, which was the original Journey to the West.

Incidentally, although all the protagonists in it are able to kill the Quartet after traveling back to ancient times.

In reality, there are often some wise and logical smart people who tell you that modern people travel back to ancient times only a dead end, and it is very likely that they will not be able to survive even a week, because you have no way to support yourself, and the modern skills you carry on your body cannot help you get a job in ancient times.

As for the skills of making soap and glass, first of all, 99% of modern humans do not know how to make soap and glass, in fact, when you go back to ancient times, you will not be able to refine the materials needed to make these two things.

Even if you have both of the above knowledge, you don't have the start-up capital at all.

Even if you have start-up capital, it will lead to an investigation by the government because you don't have identity documents such as road guides, and then directly GG.

So don't fantasize about traveling back in time to ancient times, then there is only a dead end.

This statement is neither true nor true.

That's right, if you're going to make money from soap and glass in ancient China, you're basically jumping off a cliff at an accelerated pace.

But the traveler will never find any income and livelihood in ancient times, and the easiest way to make money is to become a storyteller.

Because the vast majority of ancient human beings were illiterate, and most of the people who studied since childhood got ahead with the imperial examination, and the scholars could only participate in the imperial examination, if they were engaged in other industries, they would completely lose the experience of reading and would be despised by the whole group, so most of the readers would never be storytellers.

As long as you can read and understand the words, and then go to the market to buy a book, and find a tavern or teahouse owner to talk about cooperation, you can directly live in the tavern and teahouse as a storyteller, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Although it will not make a fortune, it is not a problem to live a well-off life again.

Not to mention that as a traverser, you must have many stories in your head that you have never heard in this world, just copy one out and tell it to everyone, then you will be the god of this world.

Therefore, if modern people travel to ancient times, most of them can still survive, and they are still alive quite well.

Ahem, let's get down to business.

After the first wave of second creations such as storytellers, if a story gets a strong response from the audience, many listeners have expressed a desire to hear the story repeatedly.

That's where the troupe comes in.

The competition in ancient times was also very fierce, except for some extremely high-level troupes, most of the troupes were grass stage troupes, and it was difficult for them to compete for customers with technology, and the only way was to come up with some new tricks and new stories.

However, due to the limitations of the times, the repertoire that the troupe can perform is nothing more than princes and generals, the founding wars of various dynasties, or the love story between the ladies and the poor scholars.

It can be imagined how excited the troupe would be when they found out that the story of a monkey was actually popular with the audience, and they took this story to create it for the first time and turned it into a variety of drama repertoire.

I've never seen a new drama with a plot as soon as it's released, regardless of whether the characters on the stage sing well or not, the money must be full, this is the second wave of second creation in ancient times.

Generally speaking, it is rare for a book to be able to create a second book to such a point, and it is an extremely successful work.

But such a work cannot be called a masterpiece, and if you want to enter the threshold of a masterpiece, you must have a third step, that is, the third wave of second creation.

And this wave of second creation comes from the most noble group in this world, that is, the second creation of the scholar group.

Of course, the second creation of the scholar will not be so vulgar to change the script and drama, but will quote these plots in his own various cultural creations.

For example, Du Mu's Tongque Chun Shen Lock Erqiao

For example, in his letter to the emperor, Wang Yangming mentioned that "the thief is based on the story of Song Jiang and other group of thieves" and so on, which is the top second creation.

As for Journey to the West, 100 years after its birth, another literati created an extra, or prequel, specifically for him, called "Romance of the Gods".

The top second creation of Journey to the West is undoubtedly the CCTV version of Journey to the West 600 years later, it is this second creation that has made Journey to the West completely go to thousands of households, and successfully occupied the TV screen of almost every summer vacation and winter vacation, even after nearly 40 years, it has been continuously rebroadcast, and has become an unforgettable cultural imprint for all Chinese people.

And this is the brand of Journey to the West in Huaxia, because all Chinese people know too much and too deeply about the story of Journey to the West, you know how brilliant the performance of the character of Monkey King is in the follow-up, so they will naturally forget that Monkey King made those operations in the first half.

But there is no Journey to the West filter in this world, which naturally has caused countless objections.

"Why don't I make a Liu Xu version of "Journey to the West" for you? Give this world a wave of Journey to the West filter? Liu Xu touched his nose and pondered.
