Chapter 260 The Prosperous Tang Dynasty: Xuanzang's Journey to the West!
Chapter 260 The prosperous Tang Dynasty: Xuanzang’s journey to the west!
Shangjing, Mu Yunxiu's home.
The view outside was bright and birds were chirping.
She lay in bed, stretched out a white hand, and turned off the dinging alarm clock.
"Why didn't you turn off the alarm clock last night?" Qi Ji's voice came from under the quilt.
"Oh, how can I remember such a trivial thing!" Mu Yunxiu muttered, rolled on the bed, rolled onto Qi Ji, smacked Qi Ji's face, and said with a smile, "
What do you mean, get up?"
Qi Ji groaned twice and said, "Let's sleep a little longer!"
Mu Yunxiu pinched Qi Ji's nose with one hand, touched Qi Ji's abdominal muscles on the bed with the other hand, and said, "Why do I feel like you are missing two muscles?"
Qi Ji said: "I haven't been exercising much recently."
The two of them chatted, and Qi Ji finally woke up from his sleepy state.
He sat up and said while putting on his clothes: "Your company's special effects are really awesome!"
Qi Ji was talking about the company that did the special effects for the second season of "Singing to the World".
Although it's expensive, the special effects are really impressive.
The atmosphere of the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty was recreated.
This is where Qi Ji is most satisfied.
Mu Yunxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't even know whose company this is!"
After a pause, Mu Yunxiu also stood up from the bed, wearing only a pair of white underwear, then put his arms around Qi Ji's waist and said: "The competition for the King of Singers here in Yongzhou is about to begin, do you want to
Write me a song?"
Her voice suddenly became very small and girly, and she couldn't hold it well.
Qi Ji said: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to do it yourself? I see you have quite a lot of inventory in your computer!"
Mu Yunxiu said coquettishly: "But I just want to sing the song you wrote!"
Qi Ji hugged Mu Yunxiu, rubbed his chin on her forehead, and said, "Then don't blame me if you are eliminated!"
"Of course not!"
After the two of them finished breakfast, Qi Ji turned on his computer.
This notebook was specially customized by Qi Ji and contains many unpublished demos.
Qi Ji chose a song and played it to Mu Yunxiu: "I think this song is particularly suitable for you to sing."
In the demo, Qi Ji sings his own male voice.
Mu Yunxiu looked at the lyrics and melody, and after brewing for a few minutes, he coughed dryly, and then tried it himself: "Last night it rained and the wind blew, and I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep. I tried to ask the person behind the curtain, but the crabapple was still the same. Do you know?
, do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin... It’s great, husband! You wrote this lyrics so well!”
Mu Yunxiu's eyes were shining.
As he spoke, he kissed Qi Ji on the face.
Qi Ji chuckled and said, "I didn't write this, this was written by Li Qingzhao."
Mu Yunxiu hugged Qi Ji's neck and said with a smile: "Oh, I know! It's all written by characters from your Five Thousand Years story, and it has nothing to do with you at all! But I still want to praise this little Li Qingzhao.
Sister, this word is so well written! It is full of gentleness, lingering melancholy and melancholy."
Qi Ji said: "Lingering?"
Mu Yunxiu paused and said, "Then... linger for a while?"
"hey-hey."
After three o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Ji took a plane and flew back to Chaoyang City to continue preparing for the 16-to-8 competition in the Singing King Competition.
At this point, the 16 singers are all the best among the best.
even.
Qi Ji is the only singer under the age of 25 among the top 16.
This is a record.
So much so that many media outlets on the Internet are hyping this matter.
After all, after Lu Yitao was eliminated, Qi Ji can now be said to be the biggest streamer in the Luzhou Singer Competition.
As long as Qi Ji's web news reports are mentioned, they can get hundreds of thousands or even millions of clicks.
This is living traffic.
Therefore, there are countless people who follow Qi's performance on the Internet.
Tiger pounces.
[This period of time should be the happiest time for Qi Ji fans, right? Every week there are "Singing World" and the King of Singer Competition to watch, which is simply amazing!]
"By the way, do you think Qi Ji will still sing Tang Dynasty poetry in the next Singer Competition?"
"But judging from the current plot, it seems that there are no high-quality poets left?"
"If you guess this, why don't you look forward to the third issue of the Great Tang Dynasty and what it is about! I heard from my friend who does special effects in a special effects company that the pictures in the third issue are very beautiful!"
"Haha! If you just broke the news like this, aren't you hurting your friends?"
"The empress has returned power to Li Tang. The following story should be about the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
"Can someone like Su Shi come out?"
"The Tang Dynasty was indeed a prosperous age, but the more prosperous the age, the less likely it is that figures like Yue Fei and Xin Qiji would be born!"
Every frame of every episode of "Singing the World" will be stared at and analyzed by the audience.
There are a lot of viewers who like to look for revealing scenes, and occasionally they will find a few innocuous revealing scenes for everyone's amusement.
Soon, the third episode of "Singing to Travel the World" was officially aired.
The name of this episode is "Xuan Zang's Journey to the West".
Everyone who saw this name was a little confused for a moment.
"Xuan Zang? Who is this?"
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!"
"I remembered, this was a monk who traveled westward during the Zhenguan period!"
"Does this monk need something special to write about?"
"Is this the so-called Buddhist Dharma that Qi Ji had mentioned in a few words before?"
"Buddhism? Could it be said that Qi Ji is going to confront Buddhism?"
"I feel like this singing tour around the world is getting more and more interesting!"
The story begins soon.
Xuanzang is played by Lu Jing, a well-known first-line actor in China.
When he appeared on the scene, he looked bald, with bronzed skin and clear texture.
This picture has a huge impact on girls.
This made Lu Jing's fans lick the screen like crazy.
"Ahhhhh! I have long heard that the star of this episode is our brother Jing, but I never expected that he is actually in the shape of a monk!"
"Brother Jing, I can do it!"
"Woohoo! It's so beautiful! Hormones are flowing all over your body!"
The story begins in a temple.
Qi Chang'an, played by Qi Ji, and Tang Xuanzang sit opposite each other.
Two people were chatting about people and the world.
This section has quite a bit of Buddhist Zen meaning in it.
"Do you really want to go?" Qi Changan asked.
"We must go." Tang Xuanzang replied.
"The journey here is difficult..."
"It's just a small physical ordeal..."
When Xuanzang was young, there were two Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty that explained the philosophy of consciousness only.
One is "Mahayana Sutra" and the other is "Ten Grounds Sutra".
But around these two books, starting from the late Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The entire Buddhist community in China has different opinions on these two books and refuses to give in to each other.
Everyone has different opinions.
This confused the young Xuanzang.
Once, he learned from an Indian mage who came to China from India that there was a big book in India called "Yoga Dharmadhishastra" that had not been spread to China.
In this book, many of Xuanzang's confusions can be answered.
"Xuan Zang loves learning so much!"
"This is the top student!"
"In that era, you actually wanted to go west to seek scriptures? That's amazing!"
"This character is very different from all the characters Qi Ji has described before! Very special!"
"I love Master Xuanzang!"
"Awesome! This character design is really awesome! I have watched TV series for so many years, but I have never seen such an awesome character design!"
"Look at Lu Jing's eyes, he interprets the character Xuanzang so well!"
"It has to be Qi Ji! Even when we all think he can't do anything interesting in his photos, he can always come up with something interesting!"
then.
Xuanzang decided to go west.
He passed through Lanzhou, passed through the Hexi Corridor, and arrived in Guazhou. After leaving Yumen Pass, he was welcomed and helped by the rulers and people of the areas along the route.
After overcoming countless harsh natural conditions along the way, we finally reached India.
Along this road, there are countless deserts and yellow sand, and the customs and habits of various people.
All of them were shown in front of the Chinese audience through Qi Ji's lens.
The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, the long river is full of sunset.
Countless grand scenes, all circulating.
The audience was stunned.
"Hurry up and take screenshots, hurry up and take screenshots, every picture is a wallpaper!"
"Oh my god! Going west from Xuanzang, we can see that the map of the Five Thousand Years series is very big! It is not limited to this land of the Central Plains!"
"I look forward to a dynasty in the future that can conquer the world! Or even unify the world!"
"Haha! I think the chapter about Xuanzang's journey to the west is just showing us the map!"
"No! Don't forget the chronological order! The Song Dynasty came after the Tang Dynasty! Look at the frustration of the Song Dynasty! Do you still think you can conquer the world?"
"Oh my god! Every scene here is full of special effects! How much money did Qi Ji spend on this variety show!"
Xuanzang passed away for three years after Zhenguan.
Back in the 19th year of Zhenguan.
In the years that followed, Xuanzang devoted all his days to translating Buddhist scriptures.
A total of 1,335 volumes of seventy-five Mahayana sutras and treatises have been translated, among which the main ones are the Mahaprajna Sutra, the Interpretation of the Deep Tantric Sutra, the Great Bodhisattva Sutra, the Yogi Earth Treatise, and the Mahavadhi Sutra.
"Posha Lun", "Chengwei Consciousness Lun", "Kusha Lun", etc.
This is a pure person.
Seeing this, many viewers were deeply moved.
"Although the Xuanzang chapter has no ups and downs, it seems as if I have followed Master Xuanzang's life through Qi Ji's lens, but at this moment, my eyes are wet with tears."
"Such a pure person must be impossible to find today, right?"
"Such a person can only exist in stories! He has an innocent heart and has been firm in his goals for decades. He is indeed a master!"
"Qi Ji's ability to photograph a figure like Master Xuanzang is considered a masterpiece!"
"Actually...hehe, I want to know more about the story of Xuanzang's apprentice and Princess Gaoyang..."
"Master Xuanzang is a great man with great aspirations!"
"Xuan Zang won the first prize in the Indian Debate Conference. This is real bullshit!"
The end of the story.
In Master Xuanzang's voice-over, he slowly ended while reciting the Heart Sutra.
[Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, he saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and he endured all hardships.]
[Relics, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, form is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and consciousness.]
[Relics, all dharmas are empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither stained nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Therefore, there is no color in the air, no feelings, thoughts, or consciousness, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind, no color, sound, fragrance, or touch.
There is no vision or even the unconscious world, there is no ignorance and no end of ignorance, there is no old age and death, there is no end of old age and death, there is no accumulation of suffering and the destruction of the path, there is no wisdom and there is no gain.]
The chapter Xuanzang's Journey to the West did not cause as big a sensation as the previous two chapters.
But many people in the literary world have noticed the Buddhism mentioned in the story.
Buddha does not exist in China.
Therefore, this is a teaching created by Qi Ji?
Qi Ji invented an entire doctrine.
Chinese Culture Forum.
Someone posted this in shock.
"Qi Ji created his own sect. According to the story, it really looks like that!"
"This so-called Buddhism has been vaguely mentioned in Su Dongpo's chapter before, but now it is finally revealed in full!"
“This setting is very touching!”
"Now I really want to know how the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism developed in the story!?"
"Hahahaha! Qi Ji is really amazing! His entire five-thousand-year concept is so complete! It's as if this period of history really existed!"
"Qi Ji's brain is like a sophisticated computer, connecting countless clues of story characters together!"
"The setting of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is really strong! I think this is something even more powerful than the so-called Song Dynasty!"
"Indeed, this has a long history! The origin of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism must have been hundreds or even thousands of years away from the Tang Dynasty! I wonder what Qi Ji will do next!"
"Buddhism and the True Religion in our history actually have some parts in common. I guess Qi Ji adapted it by absorbing some things from the True Religion, right?"
Of course, the story of Xuanzang and Buddhism is not so widely spread.
It is only spread among a small number of people in China who are interested in them.
What the general public prefers to see is Li Shimin imprisoning his husband and killing his brother, and Wu Zetian raising her husband.
However, the ratings of the third episode of "Singing to the World" still ranked first in the same period.
It made countless TV stations look back and sigh.
Go to Beijing TV Station.
"Damn it! This is the third episode, which means there are still nine episodes to come!! We have to endure it being at the top for two whole months!"
"Not necessarily! I wonder if you have read Xuanzang's Journey to the West? In fact, after reading the whole story, it is still very boring! So maybe the next variety show will go up and down!"
"It does mean something like this! Qi Ji is still a human being after all! He has given everything he has to this variety show! But manpower has its limits after all!"
"Actually, I have been waiting for this variety show to collapse! I never expected that this day would come so quickly!"
Magic City TV.
"Yesterday's ratings are out. Although "Singing the World" is still number one in its time period at 1.2%, it is 0.3% lower than the previous episode!"
"Phew! The momentum of Qi Ji's variety show before was really too strong! It dropped a little. This shows that the upper limit of this variety show is not as high as we imagined!"
"Actually, we have to watch the next episode! If we continue to pull the hips in the next episode, I estimate that the ratings of the second season of "Singing World" will collapse!"
"But the reputation of others is good!"
Smooth entertainment.
The "Singing to the World" team has keenly captured that the ratings data of the third episode are not that good.
So I quickly reported to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji looked at the submissive little girl standing in front of him and said with a smile: "The ratings are high and low. This is normal! And the story of this episode is indeed quite boring. I like to watch it.
If the audience doesn’t like Shuangju, that’s normal!”
"Boss, do we need to readjust the editing direction in the next few issues?"
Qi Ji said: "No, just follow the previously planned plan and edit normally. Don't look like the sky is falling! The ratings have dropped, but we are still number one in the same period!"
Qi Ji sat in his office.
When filming the "Five Thousand Years" series, Qi Ji himself never thought about making money.
Even if he loses money, he will do it.
What's more, the investment situation this season is so good, there is no way to go back to losses.
At this time.
Qi Ji's phone rang.
It was Feng Muyu who called.
During this period of filming, she met several actors she thought were good, and today she asked Qi Ji to have a meal together to get to know them.
Qi Ji put on simple casual clothes and went.
A group of seven or eight people ate hot pot.
Feng Muyu introduced: "This is our Director Qi. Brothers and sisters, I have brought him here. Whether you can get a role from Director Qi Ji in the future depends on your own strength!"
During the banquet.
They are all young actors.
He is about the same age as Qi Ji.
But facing Qi Ji, everyone except Feng Muyu was extremely nervous.
After all, Qi Ji at this moment has evolved into a capital in the entertainment industry.
The resources in his hands can definitely make some people popular.
Not to mention anything else, the Five Thousand Years series alone is a huge piece of fat.
Anyone who can come in and star in an episode can take off immediately.
So we really can’t blame this circle for having so many unspoken rules.
This is to replace Qi Ji with another person.
If it were a slightly more insignificant person, with such a huge resource in Qi Ji's hands, wouldn't this person immediately make a difference in the circle?
But Qi Ji's mind was not on other things. He simply had a meal with a few actors and got to know them, but he didn't have any in-depth understanding.
During this period of time, Qi Ji's fans, in addition to catching up on "Singing Around the World" and voting for Qi Ji in the Singing King Competition.
The thing that everyone mentioned the most is the urge to update the third installment of the Condor Series!
Because Qi Ji personally admitted that there is a third part in the Condor Shooting series!
So countless readers are on Qi Ji’s Weibo every day, crazily urging for updates!
"Fuck! How long has it been since "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was finished? Not even the production team has such a rest!"
"Damn it! I want to see Ronger, I want to see brother Jing!"
"Speed! I want to watch the third part of "The Condor"! This time, it should be the story of Guo Jing and his grandchildren, right?"
"Qi Ji, I just want to see brother Jing and Rong'er die in peace, is that okay?"
"Qi Ji, you are so cruel, you don't let us see aunt and Guo'er!!"
"Hurry up and release the third part! I really can't wait!"
Not only readers and viewers, but also the actors who played the two parts of the Condor Shooting series are also frantically urging updates.
First generation Huang Rong and Feng Muyu, whenever they have something to do, they will post on Qi Ji's Weibo and say: "Lao Qi, if you don't update Ronger's finale, I will be old!"
The second generation Huang Rong: "Teacher Qi Ji, when will we give you an ending!"
Guo Xiang played by: "Brother Qi Ji, Xiang'er just wants to meet his elder brother. Is it so difficult?"
Actor who plays Yang Guo: "Director Qi, how many children do my aunt and I have?"
The Condor Series is really popular among the people right now.
Not only online, but also in the company, there are a group of people urging updates.
Qi Ji drank coffee calmly and silently printed "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" with the publishing house.
You want to see the finale, right?
That will satisfy you!
then.
After receiving the sample book from the publishing house, Qi Ji took a photo of the cover of "Eternal Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" and posted it on Weibo.
This time, the entire network was immediately detonated.
