quiet.
The empty theater was exceptionally quiet.
Hearing Wang Yueheng's last words.
Every archaeology student sitting in their seat was speechless at that moment.
Zhang Donglei, from the Department of Literature at the University of California, couldn't help but swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
The singer Wang Yueheng in front of us actually had dealings with tomb raiders!
I even read the other person's own account of their years of tomb raiding experiences...
And today, Wang Yueheng is going to bring the story of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles," which has never been seen before, to the stage of a university in the United States!
This is simply...unbelievable!
"Speaking of your original script, where archaeologists abandon their wives and children for their careers, there's actually a hidden code of conduct among tomb raiders..."
"When encountering a tomb that needs to be explored, it is usually the father who holds the rope from above while the son goes down to explore and rob the tomb, rather than the son holding the rope while the father explores. Do you know why?"
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Wang Yueheng seemed to remember something and looked at Zhang Donglei to ask.
"Because... the father's physical strength is no match for his young and strong son, so the son needs to go down and take a look first?"
Faced with Wang Yueheng's gaze, Zhang Donglei, who was also engrossed in the story, hesitated before answering.
"Do tomb raiders also adhere to the traditional Chinese virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young? Do the younger generation have to do all the dirty and hard work first?"
Others have offered different speculations.
Tong Yue remained silent, her brows furrowed in deep thought. She felt that since Wang Yueheng had raised this question...
The answer is probably not that simple…
"Neither of those..."
As expected, Wang Yueheng chuckled and shook his head.
"Those who go down first must hand over the burial treasures they find before they can climb back up."
"If the son were the one leading the way, after receiving the jewels his father handed over from the tomb, he might be blinded by greed for the treasure and abandon his father, who was still in the tomb, and simply get up and leave..."
"This is also why many tomb raiders have found the remains of other people besides the tomb owner after entering the tomb..."
"But if the father is the one holding the leash, this kind of thing rarely happens."
"Even when faced with a life-or-death crisis, they usually wouldn't abandon their own son, even at the cost of their own lives..."
"This is true humanity."
Wang Yueheng calmly gave the answer.
His words once again stunned the students, leaving them speechless.
Zhang Donglei, who had just been clamoring to see Wang Yueheng's screenwriting skills, felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
In comparison.
What kind of archaeologist would abandon his wife and son for the sake of his career?
It's a complete joke...
"Then our script can't just tell the story of a tomb raider and then glorify him as a hero, can it?"
"That's incredibly distorted in terms of values..."
Still not quite recovered, Jia Meichen frowned and asked.
That's true.
"But don't forget, there's a saying in China: 'A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold.'"
"If you're an archaeologist, you should just do your job properly, protecting cultural relics and completing your assignments..."
"Given the contrast between a tomb raider with countless sophisticated tomb raiding techniques who has a change of heart and chooses to use his abilities to protect ancient relics and artifacts, which do you think the audience would prefer to watch?"
Wang Yueheng's simple words once again sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
yes.
Is police catching thieves what people like to watch the most?
No!
What audiences love to see most is often a story where a notorious thief suddenly repents, transforms into a champion of justice, and fights against an evil world!
"I think I understand what Professor Yue Heng was thinking!"
"We could easily recount the tragic history of the Dragon Kingdom's royal tombs, from the perspective of tomb raiders, highlighting the countless instances of their wanton destruction..."
"This way, we can utilize obscure facts about the tomb raiding industry that many people have never heard of, which will greatly attract people's curiosity and keep the audience engaged from the start."
"Then, in the drama, the tomb raider will be shown to turn over a new leaf and work with archaeologists to protect the ancient tombs of the Dragon Kingdom from further destruction, thus promoting positive energy!"...
Tong Yue, who instantly grasped Wang Yueheng's idea, couldn't wait to speak in one breath.
After saying this, the academically gifted girl turned to look at Wang Yueheng, her big, bright eyes seeming to ask, "Am I right?"
That's basically the idea.
