Superstar Couple

Chapter 368

Zhang Le and Yang Xiner were not in a hurry to return to China after promoting the film in North America, but went directly to Europe.

Although the film market in Europe does not have as much potential as North America, it cannot be ignored. Of course, judging from the time spent in the two places, Zhang Le and Yang Xiner seem to be paying more attention to the North American film market.

Perhaps, just because there is Hollywood in North America, it will receive more attention.

Zhang and Le returned to China immediately after their publicity in Europe. At this time, "Kinger's Adventures in Wonderland" has already been released. The popularity of the box office is much worse than that of the previous one, and even worse. Of course, if it has the staying power of the previous one, only time will tell.

Some of the content involved in the lower part of "Xiner's Dream in the Immortal World" has also gradually aroused heated discussions on the Internet. Among them, the most criticized and unacceptable to some people is undoubtedly the fact that the demon clan attacked Lingshan and destroyed the Buddhist holy land into ruins .

Of course, those people are mostly Buddhist believers, and they think this is blasphemy against Buddhism. There are also some who are probably just looking for trouble when they have nothing to do, and want to take the opportunity to hit this movie, and Zhang Le has already been happy to hit the film.

Zhang Le's influence is getting bigger and bigger. If it were any other director, those people probably wouldn't bother.

As soon as this kind of discussion came out, the discussion about the first half immediately came out.

In the first half, those so-called gods are undoubtedly the gods in Taoism, especially when there are figures at the level of Taoist patriarchs.

The content of the film, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Le portrayed the Yaozu as the righteous side, while the gods of Taoism, that is, the gods of heaven, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, seem to be the evil side. When the two sides start fighting, there is naturally a so-called distinction between good and evil, otherwise there is nothing to fight.

However, as soon as the voice of discussion came out, few Taoist believers echoed it. Although it is a battle between gods and demons, there is no intention of belittling the gods of heaven in the film. The two sides started a war, and more seemed to be on different positions.

Of course, perhaps this Taoist thought of inaction has something to do with it. Is it necessary to make a fuss about a film? What's more, the gods of heaven can only act as the righteous side in film and television works, and those monster races can only be evil? In "Journey to the West", there is no taste of vilifying the gods of heaven. Zhang Le's film, at least, does not portray the gods of heaven as incompetent.

In fact, although the demon clan attacked the Lingshan Mountain and destroyed the holy land of Buddhism in the film, there is nothing in Zhang Le's film to slander the many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. The war between the Buddha and the demon is not only the Tathagata's suppression of the Monkey King, but also an outbreak of conflicts between the Buddha and the demon.

There are too many demon clans forcibly converted by Buddhism, which has caused dissatisfaction among many demon kings, especially the bull demon king of Jilei Mountain, which is closer to the Buddhist Lingshan Mountain. Of course, there is another purpose in it, which is to seal the passage of the Three Realms under Lingshan.

In the film, Zhang Le set the purpose of Tang Seng's westward journey as that he went to Lingshan to seal the passage of the Three Realms, and the Buddhist sect knew it, and set up many obstacles for Tang Seng through various means, especially instigating the demon clan. Among them, eating Tang raw meat can live forever is an unwarranted temptation given by Buddhism.

And Tang Seng took advantage of the many calamities to make it difficult to train his mind in order to restore his mana. By the time he reached the foot of Lingshan Mountain, he was no longer a powerless person who was slaughtered by others, but a master.

The passage of the Three Realms is set under the Lingshan Mountain, not forcibly, but with a basis. In the film, through Tang Seng's mouth, it is explained in the form of inference. Tang Seng cited the most powerful one is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva going to hell.

Naturally, the Three Realms cannot go up and down easily. Ksitigarbha is just a bodhisattva, but he can go down to the underworld, and he can "occupy the mountain as king" to conquer a place, and naturally there is a Buddhist gate behind him. Then the passage to the Three Realms is naturally very likely to be in the hands of Buddhism. The possibility of being in Lingshan is naturally extremely high.

Of course, there is another impeccable reason, that is Tang Seng. After all, at the end of the first part, Tathagata said "he is back", which means that he has done this before. He wanted to seal the passage of the Three Realms before.

I want all the Buddhas in the sky to disappear in smoke!

This is Tang Seng's words and his way. His understanding of "Buddha". And the Buddha was born by the belief of believers. If the passage to the world is cut off and the faith is not there, wouldn't the Buddhas all over the sky disappear in smoke?

However, Zhang Le has to admit that some of the settings in it are a bit far-fetched and cannot withstand scrutiny. If you want to find some theoretical basis, you will never find it. This film is undoubtedly somewhat lacking in logic. Compared with "Inception" in this respect, it is simply a world apart.

Of course, fans watching this film will naturally not care about this. Logically, this is not the buying point of this film.

There were a lot of unfavorable comments on "Xiner's Adventures in Wonderland" on the Internet, and even intensified under the promotion of some people, and many media surrounded them in an instant like sharks smelling blood.

It's a pity that those remarks that Zhang Le blasphemed Buddhism died down in the midst of discussions. Well, he didn't dare to show his face amidst the abuse from Zhang Le and Yang Xiner's fans. From the perspective of Zhang Le and Yang Xiner's fans, those people were just looking for trouble.

It is indeed a bit far-fetched to say that Zhang Le desecrated Buddhism. Although the Buddhist holy mountain is destroyed in the film, there is no negative description of those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The war between Buddhas and demons is more like a debate between two different philosophies.

Of course, if you say that Zhang Le has no insinuations, that is naturally impossible. The resistance of the Yaozu is more of the forced degree of Buddhism, and the intensification of conflicts caused by not respecting the personal wishes of the Yaozu. This is actually the same as the battle of gods and demons.

God wanted to control the Yaozu, so the Yaozu resisted.

The Buddha wanted to save the demon clan, so the demon clan resisted

Gods feel that they are superior, and all living beings should listen to them. The Buddha felt that he was doing good deeds by saving the demon clan, doing good for the demon clan, and leading them to bliss.

They undoubtedly all have one characteristic in common, that is, they are self-righteous, and they have never cared about each other's feelings.

From this point of view, the gods and Buddhas are said to be villains in the film, and Zhang Le has not been wronged.

But can't gods and Buddhas play the role of villains in film and television works? Who stipulated it? who! What's more, Zhang Le's film does not vilify those so-called gods and Buddhas.

For these, Zhang Le heard Yang Xiner mention it, but just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart at all. Instead of ignoring them, it is better to focus on the post-production of "Tomb Raider".

"This Feng Lei really doesn't stop!" Yang Xin'er held a newspaper, shook her head and said to Zhang Le.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Le asked.

"Look at it! The headline on the front page, this guy got into a fight with someone in Xiangjiang, and was bumped into by a reporter. It's really bad luck." Yang Xiner smiled and said. She didn't care about this.

Fighting is not a good thing, and a little mishandling will undoubtedly have some impact on the image of a celebrity artist. However, this is not the first time that Feng Lei doesn't itch if he has too many lice and doesn't worry about debts.

"This guy has stabbed a hornet's nest this time!" Zhang Le simply looked at the report and said with a frown. (to be continued ~^~)
