Chapter 106 ‘Sun Wukong’

The word godfather,

Not nice.

There are quite a few in the circle.

Yang Mi couldn't say she was disgusted with this kind of thing, she was simply disgusted. She glanced at Li Suan's face, then thought about Director Yang's face, and suppressed her heart. It was impossible to think about it, but she still thought about it.

of that possibility.

There is no pure friendship between men and women, Yang Mi knows this.

But you want to say that all relationships between men are pure friendship?

So what's going on in Jinjiang?

She coughed lightly and squatted next to Li Suan: "We in China don't have the tradition of godfathers, right?"

Li Shuan didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, for example, if you have friends and like children, if we have children in the future, we can call you a godfather or something, and you can get more pocket money, but godfather..."

Yang Mi couldn't continue talking, because Li Shuan was laughing. He sat on the ground and looked at Yang Mi, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.

"Don't laugh!"

Yang Mi had a straight face: "I'm telling you something serious!"

"Yes, you are telling me that you are serious, but do you really mean it in your heart?"

Yang Mi blushed: "Oh, can't I just think about it?"

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. To avoid misunderstanding, I have to tell you that Director Yang has a biological son."

"You have a biological son, and you still say that he treats you as his son?"

Li Shuan carefully organized his words.

"Director Yang's son is very good. He studied abroad, came back from abroad, and then became a director with Director Yang. While learning things, he also shot things by himself. This is all right. But in our industry, it is easy for you to learn well, but if you want to master

, you just need the 1% talent, Director Yang’s son doesn’t have it.”

Yang Mi blinked: "Then do you have this 1%?"

"I don't have one either, right? I just chatted with Director Yang too much, and he thinks I have it, that's all."

"oh."

Yang Mi suddenly realized: "So, Director Yang gave you the book because he wanted to be your godfather..."

"Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you. Don't make it sound so ugly."

Yang Mi sat directly on the ground, which meant very clearly.

'Say it.'

"I'm telling you this..."

"Just wait!"

Yang Mi took a deep breath and continued to tell Li Suan: "First of all, my test scores are pretty good. I was promoted from elementary school to junior high school, junior high school to high school, and went to college without any trouble from my family, so my IQ must be fine.

Secondly, I entered the industry earlier than you, and I graduated from a major. Although I am an actor... Yes, I rely on my reputation to earn a living, but in terms of life experience, we are evenly matched.

Finally, I beg you, don’t use the professional terminology of the screenwriters, tell me in an expression that I can understand, otherwise it will sound like a holy book to me, okay?”

Li Shuan blinked: "Then let's stop talking..."

Yang Mi said calmly: "Then I will cry. I can cry so much that the whole hotel will know and come to see your joke."

This statement goes straight to Li's fortune-telling door.

He was stunned for a moment and said: "You have been trained by me now, so you can be shameless."

"You taught me well. Now tell me and I will listen carefully."

Yang Mi crossed his legs, leaned forward, and looked at Li Suan seriously.

Li Suan said: "'Journey to the West' has different meanings to China in different periods. Do you understand this sentence?"

"I can't keep up. I'm not an idiot. Thank you for reminding me."

Li Suan smiled and said: "To be precise, if we trace the origins of Journey to the West, the roots of "Journey to the West" are in the Tang Dynasty. There is indeed a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang who did the Buddhist scriptures. There were no demons and monsters, and he did not go to the Western Heaven.

.

After this story was spread, in the Ming Dynasty, I met Wu Chengen. Wu Chengen was from the Jiajing period, which was the most intense period of struggle in the Chinese court.

When people create stories, they will shape the stories to be more in line with the current society because of the era they live in. Therefore, "Journey to the West" written by Wu Cheng'en is not at all about how Sun Wukong experienced the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn the scriptures.

It is an encyclopedia that contains the political wisdom of the court during the Jiajing period. However, the image of Emperor Jiajing himself in the book is not the Jade Emperor, but the Buddha."

Li Suan paused and looked at Yang Mi, who also looked at him, silent.

She seemed to suddenly realize: "I understand, I understand, I understand everything."

"What do you understand?"

Yang Mi held on: "I understand everything you want to say."

"I'm just getting started."

Yang Mi seemed to be gritting his teeth: "Then go on!"

Li Shuan said: "Actually, it's not that complicated. You just need to read more books... Why are you biting me?"

"It's okay, I just want to bite him. Bite a smart person, it will increase my IQ."

Li Shu just laughed, this girl is getting more and more silly and adorable.

"Why do you think you are talking to me about this?"

"I want to get to know you, okay? I want to know why you promised our son to be your grandson as soon as you saw the gift from Director Yang, okay?"

Li Suan said: "Listen to me, Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" is a model of 'political wisdom', in which Sun Wukong's path to becoming a Buddha contains some philosophy. Director Yang gave me this because he wanted me to

Learn from it, and all these books are not as valuable as the three notebooks that Director Yang gave me.

I said that Director Yang regarded me as his son, because he gave me everything he had read and summarized. And I knew how valuable these things were, so I thought that Director Yang regarded me as his son.

For a screenwriter/writer, the value of these notes cannot be measured by money."

Yang Mi looked at Li Suan, and Li Suan looked at Yang Mi.

Li Suan asked: "Do you understand?"

Yang Mi gave up on herself and said, "Absolutely."

Li Suan smiled.

Yang Mi said: "You are not allowed to laugh!"

Li Suan hugged the girl and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. If I guess wrong, it's because I'm being sentimental. Let's go, you go filming, I'll go find Sister Zeng, Long Dandan is here."

Five minutes later, when Li Suan and Yang Mi got into the elevator together, Li Suan obviously talked less and stopped joking. Yang Mi was keenly aware of this change, and then kept silent.

That's it for people who are engaged in literature. Whenever I don't talk, I start thinking about things.

Li Shuan, he never missed anything. Although I don’t know what the basis for his judgment was, he never missed it, which is quite scary.

Yang Mi was put in the car to the set by Li Suan. When the car started, she looked at Li Suan outside the window and suddenly felt that this man seemed far away from her, because she discovered that apart from picking up girls and causing trouble, she was serious

, the serious Li Suan.

This feeling is quite strange.

The VIP car arranged by Li Suan arrived. After getting on the car, he told the master the address and then went to the place he had agreed with Zeng Jia.

His understanding of "Journey to the West" was far beyond that of modern people.

The story of Journey to the West began in the Tang Dynasty, leaving behind the famous tourist attraction White Horse Temple.

Since the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty, the sky has been left behind on the surface a sky full of gods, Buddhas, demons, and four masters and disciples. Wu Chengen hid the political implications beneath the water, just like using a story about gods and monsters to bury the treasure of wisdom in it.

Now, the Chinese people need a hero, so they have the 'Monkey King' who has great supernatural powers and can do justice for heaven.

Deeds turn into stories, stories turn into legends, legends turn into storybooks, novels, Peking Opera, etc... Finally, they evolve into a part of a nation and become a cultural label of a nation.

‘Any enduring greatness is because of a nation’

"Journey to the West", opening the book is helpful.

Li Suan suddenly understood why Mr. Liu Xiaolingtong said, "Only I can be Sun Wukong." He also remembered the movie "The King of Kung Fu" that his elder brother, Lian Jie, and the Americans made together.

If there are some things, if you realize something.

To sum up, if the "Kung Fu King" produced by the Americans really sells well at the box office and even replaces the Journey to the West culture in the hearts of the younger generation... then it would be worse than letting the teacher Liu Xiaolingtong play the role of monkey all the time.

king!

If foreigners change some things about a country's culture, whether it's good or bad, it's called cultural invasion.

As arrogant as Americans are, Sun Wukong can join the Avengers even if things go wrong.

In the next few years, there will be a lot of bad movies surrounding the name Sun Wukong, but among them, some good works will be produced.

For example, "The Legend of the Great Sage", such as "Nezha", "Jiang Ziya", "Green Snake" and so on.

If a good work is born under the current environment, it will be like the sun, illuminating a perfect new world.

how should I do it?

Li Suan already had an idea in his mind.

Not to mention turning him upside down, at the very least, he must rot all this good meat in his own pot!

The agreed place was not far from the hotel. After getting out of the car, Li Suan put on his sunglasses. There was no way, after all, it was the first time they met, and they had to leave a good impression on each other. Yang Mi said, Li Suan’s eyes were very

The problem is, it makes people uncomfortable inexplicably when being stared at.

Wearing sunglasses, when I met Zeng Jia, this sister, I was stunned when I saw Li Suan's sunglasses.

The first sentence is.

"Been beaten?"

Li Shuan looked at Zeng Jia: "?"

Zeng Jia couldn't see Li Suan's expression clearly, so he asked, "Did Yang Mi beat him?"

Li Shuan asked back: "How did you know it was Yang Mi who beat me?"

"She can still do action scenes, and she can endure hardships very well. You probably can't beat her."

Li Shuan was ridiculed enough. Looking at his small body and thinking about his "bad state" last night, he could only silently make a note in his mind.

Fitness, fitness, fitness!

The date was at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Long Dandan arrived on time, and the time was exactly right. Her clothes were comfortable, and the quality of her clothes was pretty good. It was her eyes that made this girl not only

It's not easy to get along with, and it feels very utilitarian.

Sure enough, people still have to wear sunglasses.

"Teacher Li, what is this?"

"Injured." Zeng Jia responded: "Mr. Long, our plan yesterday..."

Long Dandan also returned the courtesy and interrupted Zeng Jia: "I have watched them all, and we voted for them, the variety show "Guarding Pudong West", the movie "I Want Us Together", and the "Passing Through Your World"

For publishing, film and television projects and variety shows, we must occupy at least 60% of the investment share, the more the better. Hunan Publishing House will go all out for book publishing.

However, after the finished product is released, in addition to Teacher Li Suan’s ‘creative freedom’, can we discuss this veto power again?”

Zeng Jia couldn't believe it: "Mr. Long, the plan is not that comprehensive. Do you want to read it again?"

"No need, we trust Teacher Li Suan and Jiaxing's production capabilities. It's hard to say for these projects in Taiwan, but for me, they almost got full marks."

Long Dandan kept looking at Li Suan when he spoke. Good things are contagious. "Guarding Jiefangxi" was a real civilian police officer who killed everyone on the Xiaopo Station in his previous life. With restrained literary subtitles,

Moreover, the shooting location was chosen in Changsha, with the shadow of Hunan TV in the background.

The plan mentioned variety shows, novels, and movies. Among them, this variety show was the trump card to attract Long Dandan.

Li Suan's plan was to go all-out. He didn't need to know the details. He only needed to provide the core ideas and then be responsible for the final check. As for how to produce, how to attract investment, and how to sponsor, these issues were left to Zeng Jia, the circle

There are veteran agents inside, plus Long Dandan, the godmother of the draft.

Li calculated clearly that Long Dandan was a great person who brought the idol trend to China since 2003. The name of the founder of "Super Girl" is not enough to sum up her person. In a sense, she

An angel and a devil.

"Teacher Li, I want to ask you a question."

Long Dandan asked Li Suan: "Do you have any personal likes and dislikes towards the idol industry?"

"No, I think the idol industry is pretty good."

Li Shuan sat up straight: "If there is no local idol industry in China, how can we let those young people lick "Twilight" every day? Then ten years later, the dream of all young girls is to go to the United States to meet vampires

Already."

Long Dandan corrected: "It's not just girls, right?"

Li Suan said: "Yes, because boys' dreams are usually girls."

Long Dandan was a little shocked. The idol field had just emerged and was being suppressed by the traditional mainstream. Li Suan should be from the traditional school, right?

She asked: "Teacher Li Suan, what is this year for you?"

"26." Li Shuan deliberately reported one year older.

"Some gossips say that you are Director Yang's illegitimate son? I really believe it now. It is difficult for a young man like you to understand this level."

Li Suan showed no conscience and showed the reaction that an 'illegitimate child' should have: "Some things are just gossip, don't mention it in the future."

Long Dandan understood, and she revealed the topic: "The plan did not clearly state that you wanted to replace Guo Xiaosi and become a star writer, but the reason why you chose to make trouble in "Little Times" should be

I had this idea."

Long Dandan didn't finish his words, because Li Suan had to say the next words himself.

Li Shuan said objectively: "Yes. Director Guo is good at everything, but he doesn't like reading."

"I understand, there is no problem. I, as well as Hunan TV and Hunan Publishing House behind me, will fully support you."

Li Suan knew this would be the result, but he didn't expect that Long Dandan would be so straightforward.

"You abandoned him with no mercy at all," he said.

"When gold like you is shining here, would I still dig into the mud of pearls? Teacher Li, you don't have to be too modest. Looking for capital is like looking for a husband. There can be friction, but the three views must be consistent. Guo

Xiaosi’s plagiarism has always been a headache for us. Now that you are here, some people don’t need to pay attention to him anymore.”

Long Dandan's tone was relaxed, as if he was throwing away a piece of garbage. Capitalism is like this. Today you are the only one in the palm of your hand, but tomorrow you will be a replaceable factory part.

Li Suan had to cheer up and finalize every detail of the contract with Long Dandan and Zeng Jia. Zeng Jia knew the "Company Law", "Contract Law" and other laws, so she was basically the one communicating with Long Dandan.

, Li Suan added some details.

Especially when it comes to the publication of "From You", because "Guarding Pudong Toshi" and "I Want Us to Be Together" are things that haven't been released yet. Once the contract is signed, but until the thing is produced, it's almost the same as not signing it.

20% royalty is finalized.

The investment shares and share ratios for movies and variety shows are finalized.

The celebrity writer's promotion plan is finalized.

It was dark outside, and Li Suan, Zeng Jia, and Long Dandan had nothing to eat and only drank coffee. This was a mental duel involving "extremely complicated laws." Because Li Suan didn't understand, Gao

Hang the free-of-war card.

"Teacher Li, I don't understand why you are so insistent on vetoing one vote?"

Long Dandan asked puzzledly: "I'm already very sincere. You can even ask Director Yang to join the expert panel. With him here, you don't have to worry about us playing tricks on you, right?"

"I know and understand, but I'm really worried."

But what Li Shuan was thinking was that that was the dad I was talking about, not my real dad!

"In this way. When I want to use this one-vote veto power, I will try my best to convince you. If I can't convince you, just like the joint-stock system, according to the investment ratio, majority vote, this can always be done, right?"

Zeng Jia, who was holding his head with one hand and having a headache due to overuse of his brain, heard Li Suan relent and looked up.

Long Dandan also looked tired and looked at Li Suan's sunglasses for a long time: "Okay, that's it!"

Li Suan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Look, apart from having meetings every day, I’m tired from doing business, so I can’t feel comfortable picking up girls.

Sorry, sorry, this chapter is too late. Around ten o'clock in the morning, my son had a fever that wouldn't go away, so he went to the hospital. I wrote for a while when I got home, and then I finished it.

I don’t know if everyone can accept what I wrote, but this chapter contains quite a lot of information, so I’ve tried my best to code it.

Let’s take a look at how Qidian reviews it. There should be nothing taboo about it.

Bohai Official, I copied everything about Journey to the West in this chapter. I can only search for him on Station B and you can see the video.

"Journey to the West" is just one of them. The four major masterpieces have all become unique cultural symbols. If Americans remake it, no matter how big the investment is and how good the filming is, it will not be allowed to be broadcast in China.

The comparison between "Journey to the West" and "Kung Fu King" is about local culture and Western culture.

If something is complicated and not conducive to dissemination, you should make it complicated, and local people must do the transformation. If foreigners intervene, something will definitely happen. If it is not changed well, it is a problem. If it is changed well, it is cultural invasion, because some things

Only Chinese people know the value of stories. If foreigners do it, it will be nondescript, and it will definitely be mixed with ideology.

Let me give you an example. When Liu Xiang had the best grades, he proved that there is no physical difference between yellow people, white people, and black people. As a result, Xiang became a word that symbolized that, causing a nationwide carnival. Then Liu Xiang was very disadvantaged.

and dissemination.

Let me give you another example. With the introduction of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, the term "gay" has become a term used to describe special groups.

I know, most of them are jokes, but if you think about it carefully, it’s quite a coincidence, little pink, Sun Yang, etc. It’s scary to think about it.
