Chapter 1095 Different Themes (14)

The story of "Feng Shen" is not actually a coherent novel...

It’s more like a set of origins of Chinese gods similar to “The Classic of Mountains and Seas”.

The structure is loose, and the collected folk stories are gathered together, but not perfectly integrated to form a self-consistent system.

You must know that before this, the genealogy of Chinese gods and goddesses in folk belief was very confusing, with many inconsistencies and false claims.

But "Fengshen Yanyi" just sorted it out and formed a strict genealogy!

This is an advantage. Of course, there are more disadvantages. The most typical one is Nezha and his group...

Seven-year-old Nezha went to Jiuwan River to take a bath. Because Hun Tianling disturbed the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King sent Yaksha to check, but Nezha was beaten to death with a Qiankun circle. This matter could have been interpreted as a naughty child who didn't know what's serious, but the first thing Nezha said after beating Yaksha to death was: It has stained my universe.

It's like a second-generation official who hit someone while driving his car. He doesn't care about the person's life or death. He only cares about whether the car is scratched.

The Dragon King sent the Third Prince to check again. Nezha beat the Third Prince to death, skinned and cramped his skin, and even showed the dragon tendons to the Dragon King. How lawless could this be?

His master, Taiyi Zhenren, was even more unreasonable. The old Dragon King had lost his son and asked Li Jing for an explanation, saying that he would sue heaven. However, Taiyi Zhenren thought, "Nezha is ignorant and accidentally hurts Ao Bing. What a fate." To desecrate the Heavenly Court with this trivial matter, you really don’t understand the situation! ’

Damn it, someone’s son has died, so to file a complaint is unskilled...

So speechless!

And the boy under Empress Shi Ji was hit by a cruise missile when he went out. What is the probability?

I originally wanted to ask for an explanation from the empress, but I met the madman Taiyi who protected the lotus root, and died.

Of course, the story of Empress Shiji actually originated from the mythical story "The Encyclopedia of Searching the Gods of the Three Religions" in the late Yuan Dynasty...

Empress Shiji is not an insignificant sidekick, but the villain BOSS, the leader of demons who cause harm to the world. Because demons are causing trouble in the world, the Jade Emperor sends Nezha to the earth to kill demons.

Nezha first took a bath in the East China Sea and killed the fighting Dragon King and nine dragon soldiers. Later, he borrowed Tathagata's divine bow and arrows to kill Shi Ji's son. Finally, he used his father Li Jing's demon-subduing pestle to beat the demon king Shi Ji. die.

This also proves that "The Romance of the Gods" is indeed quite nonsense...

Therefore, works about Nezha will always make Shi Ji more evil, otherwise, Nezha cannot be a positive character!

There is also Ran Deng - Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao risked their lives to save Ran Deng, and then were tricked to death;

Yuanshi Tianzun used the big to bully the small and destroyed Sanxiao...

The most confusing thing is Su Hu. King Zhou married Daji, and the emperor He Yan Yuese discussed with you to marry your daughter. First, he did not take anything by force. Second, he did not use coercion or inducement. Third, he did not engage in domestic violence. Fourth, your daughter did not have a marriage contract...

Why not marry?

He was a tool man who was fabricated to set up the plot. In the era when Fengshen Yanyi was written, becoming a relative could bring glory to one's family.

never mind…

But from the perspective of film and television adaptation, "Feng Shen" is really a blessing.

Regardless of whether it is a complete change, a partial change, a fan change, or any change you want, the degree of violation will not be significant.

Mentioning "Fengshen", Shen Xudong immediately thought of "Buddha is the Tao" he had 'written'...

"Do you know "Buddha is the Tao"?"

Han Yan nodded: "...I haven't finished reading..."

Ning Hao said: "I've finished reading..."

Shen Xudong looked at Wu Ershan, who shook his head

"I write!"

"…You wrote it?"

"Why not use your real name?"

Shen Xudong smiled, and then explained: "The book "Buddha's Book" organizes and supplements the Chinese mythology system. After this theory appeared, in all subsequent mythological works, Buddhists are basically the villains! The idea is all! Buddha The family is full of fat-minded, indifferent, fake monks who bully men and dominate women..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong chuckled: "There are some sectarians over there in Wanwan who use the Buddhist worldview to preach..."

"Really? Who?"

"It's not a serious sect..."

This is true. "Buddha Edition" re-integrates the ancient mythological system, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Starry Formation of Zhoutian, etc...

According to Lu Lu News, Wanwan’s veteran Crab Jiao Yiguandao has fully accepted the setting of this novel!

The title of the leader of Yiguandao is the Saint of Heaven, so Zhou Qing, the protagonist of the novel "Buddha", has a tablet enshrined in the Guandao Incense Hall!

"Gee, a novel can actually have such a strong influence?"

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong glanced at Wu Ershan: "... I will definitely do "Fengshen". I have done "Journey to the West" and "Shu Mountain". "Fengshen" is indispensable... Do you know "Fengshen"? You If it’s an adaptation, how are you going to do it?”

Wu Ershan immediately became interested: "The first very important change is the setting of the list of gods. In the original work, the list of gods is a death list, and a catastrophe is about to happen in the world. This setting is at least important to contemporary audiences. It’s hard for me to accept, because we don’t really believe in the idea of ​​“Haotian God working part-time”.

Therefore, the current "Fengshen List" is something that everyone needs in movies. It means a judgment of good and evil, which condenses the souls of all human beings and produces a super power. However, this kind of power can only be respected by everyone. Only the respected common leader - the common master of the world - can be mobilized - this setting is very important, it is equivalent to giving the story a focus, and everyone must follow this clue..."

"Based on The Lord of the Rings?"

"The Lord of the Rings" is "The Lord of the Rings", and the core of the story is the Lord of the Rings. By doing this, it is equivalent to the focus becoming the list of gods...

Shen Xudong was speechless: "The story frame of "The Romance of the Gods" is based on the war between Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Three hundred and sixty-five important people need to die. Anyone can die...

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao must participate in the killing calamity, and other cultivators can choose to participate or not. In other words, it is Chanjiao who should be unlucky on the list of gods, because they are the ones who commit the calamity and have nothing to do with Jiejiao.

As a result, those who tried to kill the Shang Dynasty were on the side of the Shang Dynasty, so Yuan Shi and Laozi were legitimately upholding the great cause of conquering the Shang Dynasty... It can be said that this was a tragedy from the beginning! "

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "So, the Fengshen List itself is a death list. "Fengshen" in my opinion is death, darkness, ice and fire, blood and sand.

It was the young Nezha who committed suicide in front of his father with tears in his eyes, it was Wen Zhong who was wiped out in the fire of Juelong Ridge, and it was the millions of meteors that streaked across the long night in Muye.

It could even have gone further.

For example, Ji Chang Torma, Nezha's patricide, and Bigan asking the old woman selling water spinach "Can a person live without a heart?" - these passages, if extended, will be very profound philosophical propositions. There is no such theme in Chinese movies at this stage. If I were to make one, I would focus on the theme of death..."

"Then...the list of gods..."

Shen Xudong ignored him and continued: "There are many difficult things to solve in "Feng Shen", which are bugs, such as how to set the relationship between human society and practitioners?

Jiang Ziya easily wiped out 50,000 merchant troops with a freezing spell, and Kong Xuan alone could block hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops at Jinji Ridge - so what's the point of a human court raising a million troops? Why can the human court still exist and not be destroyed by practitioners? "

"If these things are not solved, the audience will not be able to invest!"

"If you film "Fengshen", how are you going to solve it?"

Wu Ershan was stunned for a moment. If he could solve it, "Feng Shen" wouldn't be divided into two levels...

"Forget it, you should worry about other projects... I heard that Kung Fu Pictures is preparing to develop "Under the Stranger"..."
