This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 976: Too many elements

Views:

The establishment of the crew of "The Legend of Emperor of Heaven" went smoothly.

After all, it is a new drama starring Yue Guan.

Moreover, the world view is consistent with that of the "Fengshen" trilogy. Maybe there will be a chance to make a movie after the performance is completed.

Therefore, all the actors who received the invitation to "The Legend of the Emperor" agreed, and their remuneration was within a reasonable range.

Speaking of this, Yue Guan actually felt a little melancholy.

It's been a long time since he met villains who deliberately provoked him. He was such a failure that even going to Hollywood was supported by a bunch of people.

Yue Guan feels that the more he gets involved, the less he looks like the protagonist. He doesn’t get any treatment as a protagonist. The promised protagonist is particularly capable of attracting hatred. Why is he so lucky? There are so many young ladies rushing to pounce on him, and so is he. Very distressed.

[Emperor’s Qi +7.]

When Yue Guan was distressed, other people in the "The Legend of the Emperor" crew were also greeting Yue Guan.

"Yueguan."

"Hello, Mr. Yue."

"Mr. Yue is here."

"This is our first meeting. Please take care of me, Mr. Yue."

Most of the cast of "The Legend of the Emperor" are acquaintances who have worked together before, but there are also newcomers who are working together for the first time, such as Zhao Wenzhuo.

Yue Guan and Zhao Wenzhuo shook hands. Zhao Wenzhuo was a little reserved and spoke very politely: "Mr. Yue, if you have any requirements for filming or the role of Patriarch Bodhi, feel free to communicate with me."

Yes, he plays the role of Patriarch Bodhi.

Sun Wukong's first master.

Regarding the question of who the true form of Patriarch Bodhi in "Journey to the West" is, there are actually different opinions and there is no unified answer.

"The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" does not intend to unify everyone's ideas. It just directly sets Patriarch Bodhi as that saint in the West. The purpose of accepting Sun Wukong as his disciple is to use Sun Wukong to form a good relationship with Nuwa.

"The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" sets Sun Wukong as the origin of the Sky-Mending Stone left by Nuwa to patch the sky, so he has a deep connection with Nuwa.

Patriarch Bodhi and Taishang Laojun are irresolvable mortal enemies, and Taishang Laojun is sitting in the heaven. He will definitely be unable to do anything in a short time, so he chose to show his favor to Nuwa.

I'm going too far. In short, if Zhao Wenzhuo plays the role of Patriarch Bodhi, it will definitely subvert the conventional impression of Patriarch Bodhi in the audience's mind. After all, the previous image of Patriarch Bodhi in the audience's mind must be very old. But Zhao Wenzhuo actually looks young and very young.

In fact, Zhao Wenzhuo is not completely sure that he can play the role of Patriarch Bodhi, but he has not filmed a high-end film for a long time. Now that "The Legend of Emperor of Heaven" has found him, he will definitely not refuse.

Yue Guan smiled and shook hands with Zhao Wenzhuo, and then said: "Teacher Zhao, don't worry, the crew's use of you shows that we believe you can play the role of Patriarch Bodhi well. If you have any questions about your respective roles and scripts, please wait. When you know how to read the script, you can mention that I am the screenwriter of "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" and I will try my best to answer it for everyone."

Yue Guan found that script reading can really help many actors deepen their understanding of the characters and plots, and they can communicate with each other and draw parallels, which speeds up filming.

So this time he discussed it with the director and took the initiative to initiate a script reading.

Naturally, the actors couldn't have any objections.

Maybe they won't study ordinary scripts carefully, and they may show their timidity in script reading, but if they don't study the new drama starring Yue Guan, it's because they don't want to be popular.

Therefore, the script reading this time was of high quality.

Teacher Six took the initiative to give everyone a sample: "Yue Guan, the play "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" seems to be an ensemble play. Your role as the Jade Emperor does not have an overwhelming advantage. Compared with Taishang Laojun, Tathagata, and Sun Wukong is actually pretty much the same.”

Yue Guan nodded: "This is logically inevitable, because I play the role of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven is so high up there that he cannot personally handle everything. The Emperor of Heaven's position is too high, so it is inconvenient for him to do many things personally, otherwise It's illogical. In this case, it must be shot as an ensemble scene, otherwise "The Legend of the Emperor" will be filmed in just a few episodes, and if it is shot as an ensemble scene, it will be easier to flesh out other characters."

Otherwise, how can we say that it is difficult to write a high-level invincible novel.

Because as long as you are invincible, you can no longer participate in some small things, otherwise you will lose your ability.

This is what the Emperor of Heaven is like.

There are only a few beings in the Three Realms who are qualified to be taken seriously by the Emperor of Heaven. It is impossible for him to do everything himself.

So Emperor of Heaven can't always have a plot.

In this case, the best way is to shoot a group scene.

Therefore, characters such as Taishang Laojun, Tathagata Buddha, Bodhi Patriarch, Sun Wukong and other characters benefited.

Teacher Six was actually one of the lucky ones.

Because Yue Guan did not hack Sun Wukong.

In any case, Sun Wukong is a totem in the minds of countless viewers. The Monkey King was once a spiritual being that many people yearned for. It is better if this kind of character is not black.

Previously, in "The Legend of Journey to the West", there was no Sun Wukong in Yueguan, and naturally there will be no shadow in "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven".

However, subversion is certain, but the subversion is more about the plot setting of Journey to the West itself.

Chen Kun asked: "Yue Guan, isn't the time span of "The Legend of Emperor of Heaven" a bit long?"

"It's a bit long. From the end of the Conferred God to the Journey to the West, the section of Xian Qin was skipped in the middle. However, the main story is very simple. Laozi turned a tiger into a Buddha, the Tathagata emptied Buddhism, and the truth about the Journey to the West. This season of "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" will Just tell these two stories clearly, and don’t worry too much about the time span. We are filming a fairy tale drama, and we should have this concept of time."

If it lasts only one or two days, it is not worthy of being called a fairy.

"Actually, if we connect Fengshen and Xianqin, we can take more pictures of how the Emperor of Heaven lost power." Chen Kun suggested.

Yue Guan smiled: "Brother Kun, don't forget that this is "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven". It's about how the Emperor of Heaven lost power in Heaven. This is a typical plot of abuse of the protagonist. Will the audience like it?"

Chen Kun patted his head and said, "Okay, I didn't say anything."

There is indeed nothing wrong with the suggestions he made.

But considering the ratings and audience friendliness, it will definitely not be adopted.

The actor who plays the white dragon horse raised his hand: "Mr. Yue, in the script of "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven", Sun Wukong is the back-up man of the Patriarch Bodhi, Marshal Tianpeng is the registered disciple of Taishang Laojun, and General Rolling Curtain is the disciple of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother. People, what about me? Whose person am I?"

In the setting of "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven", Sun Wukong is of the lineage of Western saints. Of course, he didn't know this, but he began to discover it during his journey to the west, and then he began to work hard.

Zhu Bajie is from Tushita Palace, and his nine-toothed rake is the work of Taishang Laojun. When he "accidentally broke into" Chang'e's moon palace, it was also Taishang Laojun's instruction, so that he could go down to the lower world and participate in the journey to the west. However, the Jade Emperor intervened With one move, he was cast into the fetus of a pig.

The General Rolling the Blind belongs to the Queen Mother. During the journey to the West, the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother had not yet fallen out, so the General Rolling the Blind also belongs to the Emperor of Heaven.

The journey to the west was a conspiracy between Taishang Laojun and Tathagata Buddha. The Emperor of Heaven did not want to start the journey to the west, so he found a reason to demote General Curtain Curtain to the mortal world and let him cause trouble in Liusha River, killing Tang Monk Jiu in succession. World.

Among the four people who learn from the scriptures, Drifting appears to be the most honest, but when it comes to killing and killing blood, his methods are actually the cruelest.

It's just that as a person of the Emperor of Heaven, he is also a movie king.

With this arrangement, the four-person group would have a backstage.

Bai Longma was embarrassed.

Because the plot does not explain who it is.

Faced with this question, Yue Guan's answer was very simple: "Actually, there is no need to perform this."

Because Bai Longma has very few scenes.

There won't be many viewers who care about this, or even none...

So there is no need to specially arrange a plot for Bailongma.

Yue Guan's answer hurt the actor who played the white dragon horse.

However, Yue Guan then added: "The white dragon horse can be regarded as a member of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Guanshiyin Bodhisattva is from the Tathagata sect."

"I understand, thank you Mr. Yue."

Yan Danchen, who plays Chang'e, asked a question: "Yue Guan, is there a relationship between Chang'e and the Emperor of Heaven?"

"No." Yue Guan answered decisively: "At the level of the Emperor of Heaven, if there is a love triangle, it will make the plot look very bloody, and it will also affect the character of the Emperor of Heaven."

He thought about arranging more love lines for the Emperor of Heaven, but later he gave up the idea.

Not suitable.

Especially in this fairy tale drama, it is inappropriate.

Moreover, the Emperor of Heaven and Chang'e were even more inappropriate.

After all, it is clearly stated in "Lotus Lantern" that Yang Jian likes Chang'e, and the Emperor of Heaven must not compete with his nephew for a woman. This is heaven, not a thunderstorm.

Yan Danchen said doubtfully: "But when I look at the arrangement of the script, there seems to be signs of this."

"Because the Emperor of Heaven and the Supreme Lord cannot openly quarrel with each other, the Supreme Lord arranged for Marshal Tianpeng to go down to the lower realm to participate in the journey to the west. The Emperor of Heaven needed a legitimate reason to intervene and destroy the arrangement of the Supreme Lord, so the Emperor of Heaven needed to use Fairy Chang'e Although the reputation is useless, the relationship between the Emperor of Heaven and Chang'e is innocent."

"I see."

Yan Danchen was originally thinking about whether he should be more affectionate when filming opposite Yue Guan, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.

Another problem is Yangxue.

"Yue Guan, in "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven", aren't the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother a little too good?"

"They are a couple. Isn't it normal for them to have a good relationship?"

Yang Xue felt it was abnormal: "The audience has all watched "Lotus Lantern". The Jade Emperor killed the Queen Mother. In the end, the two people are so loving in this drama, won't the audience be upset?"

"It all depends on our acting skills." Yue Guan has already considered this: "As long as we act well, the audience will not be in trouble. It is very common for couples who meet to grow old together at the beginning to end up falling out. It’s not surprising for enemies, especially for a high-ranking couple like the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother, it would be even easier for them to fall out. Logically speaking, there is no problem with this arrangement, it is just a test of our acting skills."

And Yue Guan is not worried about his and Yang Xue's acting skills.

He didn't say it himself.

Yang Xue had the help of his empathy skills, so he didn't have to worry about this at all.

So, just show affection.

Yang Xue said that she did not have the confidence of Yue Guan.

“I can’t necessarily perform that feeling.”

"Don't worry, I will guide you."

When it comes to helping female stars get into dramas and improve their acting skills, Yue Guan is not targeting anyone. If he dares to claim to be second, no one would dare to claim to be number one.

Seeing that everyone didn't have many questions, Yue Guan took the initiative to give Teacher Liu a hint: "Teacher Six, when you interpret Sun Wukong, you must pay attention to distinguishing it from the Sun Wukong of the past. I want to see the Sun Wukong in "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" His layers and variety.”

Teacher Six had read the script of "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" and knew what Yue Guan was asking for, but he still asked again to avoid misunderstanding.

"Yue Guan, do you want me to show Sun Wukong's lack of effort on his journey to the west?"

"Yes, Journey to the West is a conspiracy, not for promoting Buddhism at all. The image of Sun Wukong must be positive, so Sun Wukong must be aware of the hypocrisy of Tathagata and Lingshan, and then slowly change from the Monkey King who fights against heaven and earth to fish in troubled waters. Old man. It's not because Sun Wukong has become weaker, but because he realizes that Lingshan is not worth his life."

There is indeed a big gap between the fighting power before and after Sun Wukong. When he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he looked very powerful, and it seemed like any little monster could stump him on the way to learn the scriptures.

So this also breeds many Sun Wukong sunspots.

Yue Guan is not a black man, and he has never thought of blackmailing Sun Wukong, but "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven" needs to logically give an explanation for the large gap in combat power between Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong, so the best explanation is that Sun Wukong works hard but does not work hard.

While not weakening Sun Wukong's combat effectiveness, it increases his intelligence.

Teacher Six had no objection, after all, he was playing Sun Wukong.

Teacher Six is only worried about one thing: "Will the audience accept the script's subversion of "Journey to the West" in this way?"

Yue Guan smiled: "Subversion? Teacher Six, let me ask you, whose relative is the Dapeng who devoured the lion and camel kingdom?"

Teacher Six could not answer.

"In the original work of "Journey to the West", the Tathagata said that in the four continents, all sentient beings are good and evil, and they are different from each other:

Those who conquer the Shenzhou in the east will respect heaven and earth, feel refreshed and calm;

Although people from Luzhou in the north are fond of killing, they only make ends meet, and are clumsy in nature and emotionally distant, so they don’t do much;

Those who live in Hezhou, Xiniu, are not greedy and do not kill; oxygen Qianling, following the supreme truth, everyone will have a long life;

Those who look south to the continent are greedy for money and happy for misfortunes, and they kill more and fight more. As the saying goes, there is a murderous place of words and a sea of right and wrong.

So Tathagata asked Monk Tang to go to the West to obtain scriptures and save all living beings in Nanzhan Buzhou.

However, the original work of "Journey to the West" also writes that Xiniu Hezhou, which is "respecting heaven and worshiping Buddha", is full of monsters, tigers and wolves are causing trouble, and monsters are lawless, making it difficult for mortals to move.

In the Tang Dynasty, which is looking south to the continent, there are no demons and demons causing trouble at all, and the gods must bow to the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, if it rains in the wrong size, you have to walk on the Dragon Slaying Platform. The Tang Dynasty didn't need any savior at all. It lived a hundred times better than those small countries under Lingshan's rule. The foundation was to rule the world with humanity.

In "The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven", Sun Wukong saw through everything, but Tang Monk did not see through it. He was born in the "Land of Humanity", but he believed the lies of Lingshan and regarded the thief as his father. Instead, he believed that the Tang Dynasty needed to be saved. Teacher Huang, he played Tang Seng according to the public knowledge. I wrote Tang Seng according to the public knowledge. "
