Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Lu Youyou's meal was much more relaxed than people expected.

This king, who is as high as the sun, as distant and dazzling as the sun, can look down on all living beings and preach to all people like the Golden Deer Sacrifice; he can also be a quiet listener, setting a stage for people at the same table to express themselves. .

It was rare for her to show her generosity to the people of Yueyang, so there was no need to make people tremble at the dinner table, as if they were facing an abyss.

And those who were lucky enough to be seated, after a short period of time, gradually adapted to the presence of the two big figures, and began to do their best to show themselves to avoid wasting almost anything.

The topic at the dinner table, in addition to the Yueyang delicacies that fit the occasion, was naturally dominated by Taixu Mirage. Ning Yi invited mostly celebrities from the entertainment industry, and the topic quickly attracted Lu Youyou's interest.

After three drinks, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the topic gradually became more in-depth and even sensitive.

The middle-aged man who was affectionately called Brother Hua by Yi Qing had some golden elixirs trembling under the influence of several pots of strong liquor. His spirit was scattered and his speech was unclear.

But the topic mentioned was obviously "sincere".

"To be honest, it's quite thankless to create a mirage with an ancient monk like Lord Deer as the protagonist. No matter how serious and attentive you are in shooting, you will inevitably be ridiculed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone sitting next to him patted him on the shoulder, half as a reminder, half as a rebuttal: "Brother Hua, your words sound a bit sour. We all know that this time the Jindu Chamber of Commerce is planning When making Mirage, we invited Yi Qing, but not you, a gold medal actor in Jindu, so you feel that your status has been shaken..."

Brother Hua's face immediately turned red: "What are you talking about? Now, in front of the Lord of the Deer Kingdom and Lord Wang Shan, even if I am really jealous, how can I take the sarcastic words seriously in public!? You are also in the circle. I have been a veteran actor for decades, and I have participated in both popular and non-grossing mirages. Tell me for yourself, is it particularly difficult to sell mirages with the theme of ancient monks? "

"Brother Hua, you can't just beat the whole genre to death just because your Mirage is not a hit. The Little Fox Fairy played by Xiao Ning was very popular before, and Xiao Ning also became famous thanks to that Mirage. With my current status, I can even have the honor of playing Lord Deer. This is an opportunity that I have been waiting for for many years.”

"The fox fairy in my family is based on ancient cultivators' idols. How can it be the same thing as this epic movie!?" Brother Hua took advantage of the wine and said simply, "And it is said to be about ancient cultivators. That fox fairy She is basically a nameless little miscellaneous fish in history, and her cultivation level is only as high as transforming into a god. In the panoramic performance, there are very few scenes where she performs ancient immortal magic, and the related special effects are also very perfunctory, all relying on Xiao Ning's The appearance and acting skills support the whole drama... The Mirage became popular because of Xiao Ning, not because of the theme of ancient monks. "

Ning Yi was also embarrassed when she heard this. The topic mentioned herself, but she really didn't know how to evaluate it.

But at this time, it was Wang Luo who came to the rescue: "So, why don't themes about ancient monks sell well?"

Brother Hua first cupped his hands and said: "Master Wang Shan, these are actually not only my own opinions, but also the consensus of many people in the circle. It's just that today in front of you and Master Lu, we borrowed Xiao Ning's advice again." He and Yi Qing are lucky enough to have dinner at the same table with the two of them, so no one dares to bring up such an unpleasant topic. But I am a person who always speaks out. If there is anything inappropriate, please let me know. Please forgive me."

"Easy to say."

Brother Hua then said: "If you ask me, the mirage with the theme of ancient monks has two inherent shortcomings. One is that the ancient trend of Xianmeng has been going on for a thousand years. Your story of making a love idol is fine. Once it involves Official history, someone will immediately jump out to judge you morally. Some will complain that the context of the story does not meet the needs of the great cause of eradicating the famine, and will teach bad children; some will say that it is not in line with real history and belongs to historical nihility. The poison... Although these people can't contribute a single Ling Ye's box office, they are quite capable of ruining other companies' box office. "

After a pause, Brother Hua added: "Of course, these are only external factors. There is also an internal factor in the industry. Over the thousands of years since the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, all walks of life have been developing, and the technology of Taixu Mirage is also changing with each passing day... But Starting from the epic stories with ancient monks as the protagonists, the best epics in people's minds will always be the textbooks produced by genuine ancient monks hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the mirage of Taixu was still in its primitive stage of barbarism. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement at the dinner table.

"Yes, that's right. When I listened to the professor's lecture on the history of mirages in Yayuan, it was basically recognized that the best heroic epics were those in which the pioneers who settled the famine in the early years personally ended their lives and set an example for future generations. Alas, people later wanted to To perform any kind of transformation into a god or a combined battle, you basically have to rely on formations, dexterity, or even divine projection, and the whole process is fake. However, the heroes back then just took a few pills and went into actual combat, and the mountains collapsed and the ground was shattered in one fight. They were absolutely genuine. Landslides and earth shatters... No amount of modern technology can make up for that kind of gap in detail."

"Yes, and there are also big problems with character presentation. Other character traits can be brought in through acting skills, but as for spiritual practice... Jindan, Nascent Soul, Transformation God, people in different realms, they can raise their hands and raise their feet. There is really a big difference, and it is impossible to imitate it. It’s fine if you haven’t seen the original high-level practitioners, but the ancestors have set a monument that cannot be surpassed by future generations... It is really difficult to do it.”

Speaking of this topic, even the people who originally refuted Brother Hua couldn't help but complain: "Yes, Xiao Ning got the opportunity to play the Lord this time. In terms of her acting skills and temperament, she is basically the best choice in our Yueyang country. But compared with the Lord himself in those mirages left behind in the past, I have to say that it is really a world of difference... From this perspective, the mirages of ancient monks are indeed very difficult."

At this point, if this topic continues to develop, it is nothing more than Lu Youyou and Wang Luo consoling these Yueyang actors, telling them that as long as they act with their heart and make sincere production, the result is not that important - in fact, this is also the truth. If this Taixu Mirage is not directly related to the Dinghuang Boundary, Lu Youyou obviously would not pay so much attention to a foreign Taixu Mirage.

However, before Lu Youyou spoke to comfort him, he suddenly heard a young girl talking about a brand new topic with great interest.

"Yes, yes, speaking of this, I remember about two hundred years ago, our Yueyang produced several particularly wonderful epic stories. Whether it was the actors' acting skills or the production of special effects, the level was obviously higher than it is now."

"Oh, yes, yes, that's right. I remember that those epic mirages were all produced by the same family. Those decades were simply the era when their team dominated the trend. Unfortunately, for some reason, they suddenly fell into decline."

"I have heard some rumors about this. Some people say that the reason why the team can produce excellent works repeatedly is because they occupied a piece of Feng Shui treasure land before. Making mirages there is a highlight of getting twice the result with half the effort. But later, Yueyang opened up new land, and Bai Yaocheng ruined his family's Feng Shui when advancing north. After that, they could never make such a good mirage again."

And this sentence made Lu Youyou and Wang Luo's ears perk up on the spot!
