After finishing the filming of "Father", Chu Wen quickly left Qinghe City.

Before leaving, he squeezed Lu Hao dry.

It's so domineering.

Lu Hao couldn't return to the capital so soon, so he had to spend the Lantern Festival at home.

Film and television companies are different from other industries. When the projects are underway, they are extremely busy. Now that there are no projects, they just take a holiday and officially return to work on the 17th day of the first lunar month.

I've been at home these days, accompanying my parents around and asking for a talisman at the temple.

It was my mother's insistence.

It is said that when people are successful, they should not get carried away and should accumulate more good karma and commit fewer sins.

The abbot of the temple is a doctoral student in his thirties, who is said to have graduated from Peking University. He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in this city more than ten years ago. Later, for some unknown reason, he became disillusioned with the world and became a monk, becoming a local legend.

Lu Hao didn’t know whether the incense was effective or not, but he just wanted peace of mind.

By the way, I also asked for two more jade Buddhas.

Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. These two Buddhas are naturally one for each person. It’s good for you, it’s good for me, and it’s good for everyone.

…

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Return to Beijing.

When I got home, I went back with Zhou Xiaomeng. When we came here, we also took the same flight. I went back to the school on the way, gave her the jade Buddha, and then went straight to the company.

There is no one in the company now, except for a few security guards. It is empty and quiet.

Lu Hao is preparing to write the script.

During this period, whenever I had free time, I kept thinking about that story, the story about the monkey.

Speaking of monkeys, there are actually two lines that left the deepest impression on Lu Hao.

"Great Sage, what are you going to do?"

"Step on the sky and shatter the heavens!"

"What if I never come back?"

"Then he left and never came back!"

…

And that second sentence.

"I want this sky to no longer block my eyes, I want this earth to no longer block my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, I want all Buddhas to vanish into thin air!"

…

These two sentences have become the best portrayal of the monkey spirit and have infected countless people.

In this world, there are many film and television works about Journey to the West, and basically all the plots that can be adapted have been adapted.

In front of the computer, Lu Hao looked at a pile of information.

Mainly all the Journey to the West-themed movies shot in the past ten years.

for example:

Tang Monk and the Kingdom of Women

This movie is an extremely magical adaptation that directly changes the original work.

It tells the story of Tang Monk and the Queen of Women. In this level, Tang Monk fell and stayed in the Kingdom of Women from then on, living happily with Her Majesty the Queen.

It also contains many golden sentences and highlight scenes.

"Brother, since you are empty of all things and regard women as skeletons, why don't you dare look into their eyes? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead? Come, let me wipe it for you."

The desires in her heart are ambiguous to the extreme.

So Tang Seng couldn't help it after all.

And then... there's the monk and the queen AVI.

In front of the computer, Lu Hao was stunned.

Looks like I got on the wrong bus?

All right.

In a world with film ratings, the standards are still very strict.

However, this part is really provocative, so naturally the film performed well, with both good reputation and box office success. Even the film and television discs sold millions of copies.

For example——

The Great Demon Monkey

It is also an extreme modification of the Journey to the West theme.

In the White Bone Demon level, the monkey was misunderstood by his master, and his evil nature was aroused, and he developed a demon in his heart. He beat Pigsy and Sha Seng to death with a stick, and threw Tang Seng into a mass grave. In a rage, he returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, occupied the mountain and became the king, and spent his days wandering freely with all kinds of demons.

At the same time, a demon from the Western Paradise was born, replaced the Buddha, occupied the Paradise, and wreaked havoc on the three realms.

The monkey rose up in rebellion. The immortals did not recognize him, the Buddhas did not recognize him, and the demons did not recognize him. With a golden cudgel in his hand, he declared himself king and killed everyone in his path.

In the end, he defeated all the gods and demons and became the only great demon monkey in the three realms.

The battle scenes are extremely exciting.

Anyway…

Most of the magical adaptations still tend to be in the direction of commercial films.

Or violence.

Or ambiguous.

After all, these two points are the most important elements of commercial films.

In recent years, perhaps because there are too many such films, the audience is really aesthetically fatigued. All the Journey to the West-themed films released have failed in both reputation and box office, and have gradually become a forbidden zone that no one dares to touch.

For Lu Hao, this is bad news, but also good news.

Now there are two options.

1. Film Stephen Chow’s version of “A Chinese Odyssey”, the classic story of the monkey named Joker.

This, or these two, are undoubtedly excellent movies. They can even be said to be the sentiments of a generation and masterpieces that are deified.

There are so many classic scenes and lines in it.

——"I once had a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it deeply. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you. If I had to put a time limit on this love, I hope it would be... ten thousand years."

"My beloved is a peerless hero. One day, he will come to marry me, clad in golden armor and riding on a rainbow cloud. I guessed the beginning, but I couldn't predict the ending."

——"Look at that person, he's so strange, he looks like a dog."

There is no doubt that this film will be another masterpiece, which will greatly enhance DreamWorks' status, its own fame and box office.

But after thinking for a long time, Lu Hao decided to shoot his own original work.

Everyone has a monkey in his heart.

Everyone's monkey is unique.

…

One day and one night.

Lu Hao stayed in the company for a whole day and night.

Like a possessed person, I didn't eat a grain of rice or drink a sip of water. When I felt sleepy, I would lie on the table and take a nap. When I woke up, I would continue writing on the keyboard.

After much thought, I finally wrote the story I wanted to write about the monkey.

The monkey was born in his mind.

After typing the last word, his mind went blank and he felt his whole body was hollowed out. He took several deep breaths before he gradually calmed down.

But I found that without realizing it, two lines of tears appeared on my face.

Crying?

Made me cry while writing?

I couldn't help but light a cigarette, shook my head and smiled.

This story must not be too bad. After all, it made me cry.

I looked at my watch and it was already nine o'clock in the morning and it was already bright outside.

When I walked out of the office, most of the employees had already arrived at their posts, and were greeting each other and chatting, all of them looking very happy.

Seeing Lu Hao coming out, everyone was a little surprised.

When did Mr. Lu come?

It seems that he is not in a good mood.

"You guys go ahead and get ready. The meeting will start at 2 pm."

After saying this, Lu Hao walked out of the company, walked back to the dormitory, took a shower, set the alarm clock, and fell asleep on the bed.
