Chapter 123 Teach Me
At Zheng Fa's home, Zheng Fa sat cross-legged on a cushion, the spiritual energy in his body circulating according to the route of the "Chi Xiao Jue".
He had been practicing for three hours - this was much longer than his usual practice time.
Suddenly, blood rushed to his face, and the next moment, a vortex of spiritual energy appeared above his head.
When he opened his eyes, there was a happy smile in them.
"Breakthrough?" The master's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Come see me."
I don’t know when this old man started staring at me, but he discovered me as soon as I broke through.
When Zheng Fa arrived at the thatched cottage, the headmaster was sitting on a cushion with a smug smile on his face, as if he had something that he couldn't wait to show off to him.
"Master?"
"The fourth level of Qi training? Not bad."
The headmaster glanced at him and said with a smile, seeming very happy.
Zheng Fa nodded his head and said yes.
"Since you call me Master, I should teach you something."
Zheng Fa looked at his master expectantly.
"But the Divine Thunder Controlling True Method requires you to cultivate the Five Thunder Body and build your foundation before you can practice it."
The headmaster shook his head and said.
“…”
"As for the Lingshan Method, you have to practice Qi to the seventh level before you can get started."
“…”
"With your current level of cultivation, it's very difficult for me to teach you!"
Zheng Fa didn't understand why his two senior brothers were so despicable.
But when the master spoke to his disciple in this way, he understood.
Don't doubt it, I just want revenge! "In fact, I don't lack any skills, I just lack..."
Zheng Fa looked up at the headmaster, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
When Uncle Pang said he wanted to take me in as his disciple, he also said he had prepared spiritual materials for me that would allow me to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
You are the head of the Jiushan Sect, you can’t be outdone by your junior brother.
"..." The head of the sect pointed to his thatched cottage and said, "This cottage will be passed on to you in the future."
Zheng Fa looked around the room.
There was nothing else in the room except two futons.
Well, this house on the farm is for cows to live in.
"...You also know that I didn't plan to accept another disciple before."
The head of the sect seemed to feel that the house was a bit too simple and felt a bit sorry for Zheng Fa, so he explained in a low voice.
...So it's natural for you to be poor? "Disciple suddenly feels that Uncle Pang is also a handsome man with a lot of money." Zheng Fa said with a hint of regret in his tone.
"Right, he's prepared it, you just need to take it from him!"
The headmaster clapped his hands and said happily.
"……take?"
Zheng Fa thought of the four thousand-year-old purple bamboo tears.
Then look at the kind and encouraging smile on the master's face.
I finally understood Uncle Pang's reluctant yet generous expression at that time.
“Master, I can’t learn the technique, and the spiritual materials will cost me my uncle…you?”
It seemed like the Master was called in vain! "It's not me who wants to accept a disciple!" the head of the sect said confidently.
"...Then what is the matter with you calling me here, Master?"
"By the way, I asked you to come and see this "Saving Xiao Xiu Zheng Fa"."
When the headmaster talked about this, a proud smile appeared on his face - it was obvious that the work was finished, and he specifically called Zheng Fa to show it off.
Zheng Fa twitched his lips and said, "Master, can we change the title of this play?"
Yes, this thing was named a drama by Senior Sister Zhang - a drama adapted from a storybook, which makes sense.
In order to show that he really has a lot of storybooks, Zheng Fa not only made several domestic novels or movies mysterious.
I also wrote a collection of ideas——
That is to say, the outlines of some modern classic literary and artistic works are recorded.
These include many works that have won awards or become popular abroad.
When it came time to choose the first play for the Jiushan Sect, Senior Sister Zhang immediately fell in love with the script that was later called "Saving Young Xiu Zheng Fa".
According to Senior Sister Zhang, this script can show the spirit of our Jiushan Sect being united and willing to save the lower-level disciples at all costs! But from Zheng Fa's understanding, Senior Sister Zhang probably thinks -
Although our Jiushan Sect has discrimination based on spiritual roots, division between the rich and the poor, fighting between the two sects, and swinging talismans every day, it seems disunited no matter how you look at it.
But we still need to promote the beautiful Jiushan dream.
"What a great title for this script, easy to understand!"
Obviously, the leader was also very satisfied with the script.
"Then could you please change the protagonist's name?" Zheng Fa begged.
If this thing is really popular, how socially dead will it be?
"...Okay, what I hate most is naming." Perhaps seeing that he was really unwilling, the head of the sect frowned and pointed at the cover of the script. The two words Zheng Fa on it slowly turned into Pang Qian.
"Pang...Qian?"
Zheng Fa suddenly thought of someone.
But... shouldn't it be? "It's your uncle Pang. When he was a child, his family had a fortune-teller who said he should use a female name to suppress it... Later, he changed his name and didn't want to use this name anymore."
The head of the sect said that Zheng Fa had guessed correctly, that was the unlucky guy! So you can only harm the people around you, right?
"I'm afraid Uncle Pang... wouldn't be willing for you to use his name, Master?"
"I didn't use his name! He doesn't want this name anymore, so isn't it just right for me to use it?"
“…Master, your opinion is great!”
Zheng Fa followed the headmaster to watch "Saving Young Xiu Pang Qian" for a while, and his brows furrowed more and more as he watched.
After all, it was a pioneering work, and the master had no grasp of some of the film's narrative techniques.
There is no perspective, shot size, montage... nothing. It actually looks more like a documentary with a diary of events and a lot of psychological narration.
Of course, Zheng Fa didn't understand these.
But he had seen the original film and his memory was pretty good.
"Master, this thing may need to be modified a little."
Zheng Fa was silent for a while and said.
"Where should we start to change?" It can be seen that the leader is also a person who is willing to accept good advice.
"From the beginning."
"...From the beginning?" The head of the sect said faintly, "You mean, the things I made - can't be seen?"
"……Um."
The head of the sect suddenly stood up and said, "You two, come up!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Soon, Zheng Fa saw Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Yuan going up the mountain together.
"You two should watch my play first!"
The leader first played "Saving Little Xiu Pang Qian" again for the two of them.
"How about it?"
"...It's very nice!" Senior Sister Yuan said with bright eyes: "It's quite interesting, I'm quite moved when I see it!"
Senior Sister Zhang beside her also nodded.
"He said we can't watch it! We need to make major changes!"
Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Yuan just stared at Zheng Fa, with a look of condemnation in their eyes that said you don't know how to appreciate it.
Zheng Fa was a little puzzled.
Could it be that my own aesthetic is inconsistent with the mainstream aesthetic of the Xuanwei world?
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance!" The head of the sect snorted coldly, "Now tell me how to change it, and I'll do it according to your will!"
...As expected of a Nascent Soul, he is so efficient in editing the plot.
Zheng Fa had no choice but to rely on his own impressions and replay the original film in his memory shot by shot.
Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Yuan didn't quite understand these things, but the headmaster seemed very familiar with them - after all, he had played in Lu Zhong Tian Di for so many years.
In less than two hours, the headmaster clapped his hands and said, "All right!"
"Come on, both of you, take another look!"
Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Yuan were also a little curious, so they sat on the cushions and watched Zheng Fa's version of "Saving Young Monk Pang Qian" again.
After reading it, the two fell silent.
"How about it? Which version is better?" asked the headmaster.
"Master, this is yours!" Senior Sister Yuan said first.
Senior Sister Zhang also nodded and said, "I think yours is better, Master."
Zheng Fa fell into complete self-doubt.
No, don't the people in this mysterious world have such special tastes? Everybody is a documentary lover?
“Take a look!” The head of the sect smiled triumphantly at Zheng Fa, and said to Senior Sister Zhang and the others, “Then I’ll play mine for you again!”
It can be seen that he is indeed very proud of his work.
"Then I want to see... Junior Brother Zheng's version." Senior Sister Yuan suddenly said in a low voice.
"?"
The head of the sect was stunned for a moment, and slowly looked at Senior Sister Zhang beside him.
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly and explained to the Sect Leader, "It's mainly to see what shortcomings there are in Junior Brother's play, so that I can better appreciate the excellence of your version!"
...What kind of high EQ judges are these?
Zheng Fa glanced at the Sect Leader, and confusion slowly emerged in the Sect Leader's eyes.
Obviously the old man also saw the true opinions of the two people.
It's just that he really seems to think that his version is better.
"I have spent thousands of years in this world..."
Zheng Fa understood immediately after hearing this——
To use the fashionable term in the world of mystery, this thing is called the obstruction of knowledge and perception.
Over a thousand years, this old man can be said to have formed his own system and aesthetics.
The problem is that this aesthetic has not been tested by the market.
There is a huge gap between them and ordinary people.
This is like a person who has been writing all his life, wanting to write a famous book, but never publishes it, never reads other people's works, and no one even comments on it - he may be a genius, but there is a 99% chance that what he writes is nonsense.
What's more, the first edition of the Sect Leader was already exciting enough for Senior Sister Zhang and the others, and it was also the pioneering work of this world.
It's just that I met someone like Zheng Fa who has experienced the era of the big explosion of modern entertainment works.
"You two, tell me the truth, which one is better?" The head of the sect said to Senior Sister Zhang and the other two.
“…”
Neither of them spoke.
And silence is often an answer.
The head of the sect looked at the two of them and suddenly said to Zheng Fa, "What do you think? Teach me."
"ah?"
Zheng Fa looked at the headmaster. What he didn't expect was that the old man would admit defeat so quickly.
It can be seen that this old man really loves Lu Zhong Tiandi, or talkative drama - he even let go of his obsession so quickly and began to learn from his disciples with an open mind.
Seeing the old man's eager eyes, Zheng Fa cleared his throat and said, "With your current level of attainment in drama, it's hard for me to teach you!"
The head of the sect was stunned, feeling that the words sounded familiar.
Did I seem to have said something similar before? "I suddenly feel that with your current level of cultivation, there are some things I can teach you..." After a long silence, the head of the sect smiled like a teacher.
