Journey to the West: Play Westward Journey at the beginning

Chapter 152

After reading it, Yun Tianqing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

[Fortunately, although the appearance and figure can be changed, acting is something that, except for actors who are born to eat this bowl of rice, others need to rely on real practice to develop it.The art of magical transformation cannot directly bring about acting skills! 】

How to describe this video drama filmed by Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva? Yun Tianqing felt that the information books he had sent to Guanyin Bodhisattva before: "The director was made by the Tathagata", "How to film a video drama", "Photography" "What do you need to know about the drama?". These Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattvas have all seen it, but seeing it does not mean that they have truly absorbed, understood, or fully understood it.

The whole story of "Journey to the West II" is a very old-fashioned story about Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong who met some monsters on the way when they rushed to Xitianling Mountain to attend the Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference after they became Buddhas.

The pattern of the whole story is that Sun Wukong is flying on the clouds, and then Sun Wukong's piercing eyes discover that there is evil spirit below the mortal world, so the four masters and disciples descend to the earth to subdue the demons. First, Sun Wukong comes up to beat the golden hoop, and then Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing follow. With the help of others, Tang Sanzang used physics to convince the monsters, and then used Buddhism and Buddhist principles to subdue the monsters. Then he continued to fly on the clouds, and once again discovered that there were monsters in the mortal world.
Just like this, the cycle goes on and on, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva has gone through 32 episodes!

You want to say that Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is not serious, but that's not true. At least Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva seriously found some Buddhist sutras and songs to use as BGM and opening and ending songs.

But to be serious about it, the exaggerated acting skills, the same routines, the worst editing, the Prajna Paramita covering the face at the beginning, and the Great Compassion Mantra at the end really make Yun Tianqing unable to shame himself and say it against his will. A nice sentence.

Except for the special effects, well, it can’t be said to be special effects, the fights in the show were all shot and recorded in real life!Except for the fighting scenes, which are quite bad, everything else is terrible.

Yun Tianqing feels that the biggest flaw of this drama is that the actors in it all look like Jiang Hua and others in the original "Journey to the West".If it weren't for those familiar faces, it could still be said to be a bold attempt; but without those familiar faces, comparing it with the first part would simply ruin the reputation of the first part.

Qimeng Pavilion Master Yun Tianqing: "I have finished watching "Journey to the West II". If I could give you an opinion, I would suggest that this documentary drama should not be broadcast with the faces of the actors in the original "Journey to the West" , because this will inevitably arouse discussion and comparison among the audience.”

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva: "It doesn't matter, we have the same appearance, so that we can inherit the popularity and audience of "Journey to the West". As for the mere comparison, I don't think there is any problem. In addition, the World Honored One is already urging me, so please Pavilion Master Yun, please make arrangements as soon as possible."

Seeing how Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva so quickly understood concepts such as what a traffic actor is and what popularity is, Yun Tianqing didn't know what to say.It would be great if the other party also had this speed of understanding other director abilities.Since the other party wanted to be criticized, Yun Tianqing couldn't stop him.

Qimeng Pavilion Master Yun Tianqing: "In that case, let's set it in three days, and I will issue a push notification to all Qimeng Network users."

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva: "Okay, the master of Lao Yun Pavilion will report to the World Honored One right now."

Seeing Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's persistence, Yun Tianqing followed him.Immediately, through his own authority, he sent a notice to all Qimeng Network users:

""Journey to the West II", which was filmed under the independent supervision of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, will be released on Qimeng Film and Television three days later at [-]:[-]. Everyone is welcome to watch."

Although "Journey to the West" has ended for more than a month, in general, people have not forgotten it so quickly.

After all, whether it was Jiang Hua’s Tang Sanzang, Zhang Kongkong or Chen Kongkong, they were all so memorable, so when they received the notification from Qimeng that "Journey to the West II" was about to be broadcast again, everyone was still quite surprised. Interested in.

After the news came out, Taishang Laojun immediately sent a message to Yun Tianqing.

Taishang Laojun: "Buddhism has launched a new photo drama?"

In the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun frowned. Playing one version of "Journey to the West" was not enough. How about a second one?This Buddhism is not over yet!

Yun Tianqing, the director of Qimeng Pavilion: "That's true, but this time the photo drama was an independent shooting by Buddhism, Qimeng Pavilion did not participate in it."

Yun Tianqing deliberately emphasized the words "independent shooting".

Taishang Laojun: "What do you mean, little friend?"

Qimeng Pavilion Master Yun Tianqing: "Haha, senior Laojun might as well take a look first. I think the result should satisfy senior Laojun." Hearing what Yun Tianqing said, Taishang Laojun also understood what Yun Tianqing meant. The frowned brows also relaxed.

Taishang Laojun: "Haha, I will wait and see about that."

Three days later, at midnight, the new Buddhist film drama "Journey to the West II" still attracted a lot of audiences.

Backstage, Yun Tianqing saw that the number of online viewers waiting for the broadcast of "Journey to the West II" had exceeded 50.00%, and this number was still slowly increasing.

In order to get the first shot, Yun Tianqing arranged three consecutive episodes at the request of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, sees that the five aggregates are all empty, and overcomes all hardships. Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true for thinking and knowing."

The opening song of "Heart Sutra" was chanted by thousands of Buddhas at the beginning. Many viewers frowned. After being influenced by the first "Journey to the West", many people know this Heart Sutra, but it is okay to recite it occasionally. , it’s a bit unbearable to use it directly as the opening theme.

However, looking at the faces of Tang Sanzang and others from the original "Journey to the West", most of the audience frowned and continued to watch patiently.

When the main episode aired, the faces of Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong and others were still the same, but the audience would rather be blind.Especially Tang Sanzang in the play, he only talks about Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist principles in a boring way, and it is completely impossible to see that this Tang Sanzang has the great compassion as in the original "Journey to the West".

I think of Tang Sanzang in the original "Journey to the West" whose Buddha nature showed humanity, and the brilliance of Buddha nature shone in human nature, and then the Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West II" is like a tortoise chanting sutras.

Cheng Yaojin finally couldn't bear it anymore and said coldly:

"Turn it off! Don't watch anymore!"

No one, whether it was Cheng's mother or Cheng Chuliang's children, had any objections. Instead, they looked relieved.

The Duke's Palace of Liang, the Duke of Zhao, the Duke of E, and other ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty all quit watching "Journey to the West II" one after another.And they all left messages under the comments of "Journey to the West II":

"That's it? That's it? That's it? Apart from the same faces, what are the similarities between this "Journey to the West II" and the previous one?!"

"Like Tang Sanzang who recited sutras, Sun Wukong who met monsters indiscriminately and used a golden cudgel first, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing who looked on, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, you ruined the image of Tang Sanzang and others in my heart."

"No way? No way? No one really thinks that the first "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West II" are the same actors, right? With this acting skills, it is said that other practitioners transformed into the original Tang Sanzang and the others. I believe it all."

"Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, are you really not an undercover agent sent by Taoism to lurk in Buddhism? The filming of "Journey to the West [-]" is so bad, I even suspect that you deliberately filmed it to blackmail Buddhism!"

"Oh, it's gone, it's gone. I used to be a fan of Buddhism, but now I'm a fan."

Comments that were either negative, scolding or disappointing filled the comment area of ​​"Journey to the West II" overwhelmingly, and even began to spread to Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's personal WeChat account.

It can be said that "Journey to the West" attracted many fans before, and now "Journey to the West II" has received a lot of criticism.Who asked the actors in "Journey to the West II" to stand in the faces of everyone in "Journey to the West"? Naturally, the audience couldn't help it after seeing such a huge contrast between before and after.

Other practitioners may still be afraid of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, who is in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, but ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty don't care about this.

Let’s not mention that they don’t know what Taiyi Jinxian stands for. Even if they do, I’m not the only one scolding you. Hundreds of millions or even billions of netizens are scolding you!Do you still dare to take action against the billions of Tang people?The sons of the three tribes in the ancestral land of the human race and the three emperors and five emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave are not dead yet!
