Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 274: The Black Monkey’s plot was completely seen through by the Master.

Li Can saw Chen Gang's little movements clearly.

But not panicking at all.

Anyway, after the disease occurs, I am the one who is happy and others are the one who suffers, and I make no less money, so there is nothing for me to worry about.

Moreover.

It's all art.

Even if it is an illness, it is an illness based on art, and it is a very reasonable illness.

It is certainly impossible to go crazy for no reason.

This is why, from different perspectives such as the audience and colleagues, we can see different ways of Li Can going crazy.

just.

An expert knows the way.

I know that this kind of madness is intentional and is a very sophisticated way of handling it. It's simply because the imagination is too genius.

But many people who work on the Internet cannot stand this.

As the influence of the black monkey expands.

A wave of [malicious smearing of traditional culture] began to emerge.
The most popular cyber chanting sutra, "Nirvana Sutra", is naturally the first to be affected.

It even affected the monk community.

Many nosy netizens kept @ing a professional monk who posted various Buddhist videos on the Internet - Zen Master Huizhen. They said they were analyzing the situation, but in fact they were afraid that the matter would not get out of hand and wanted to watch the show.

There was a huge quarrel online.

[You will be punished for maliciously creating scriptures like this! ]

[God damn it, you should be a good person first]

[It’s so funny, they keep saying “good thing good thing”, but they are so stupid]

[How can this guy start a group? Did you become stupid from chanting sutras or did Brother Chan really save you? ]

[I am a reasonable passerby, but I think Li Can does have some disrespect for traditional culture]

But it’s different from what everyone thinks.

This unorthodox creative work did not cause Huizhen to be disgusted.

in contrast.

After Huizhen released a video, it actually sparked discussion in some Buddhist circles.

"I see that many believers are dissatisfied with Black Monkey's musical work "Nirvana Mantra", thinking that such an adaptation does not respect the original scripture and is exaggerated. They want to ask for my opinion."

"My opinion is that Black Monkey is adapted from Journey to the West, which contains a lot of Buddhist and Taoist content. I think it's not a bad thing to be able to spread culture through games."

Zen Master Huizhen's words caused quite a stir.

It even surprised many viewers.

No matter if they are the ones stirring up trouble, or the believers who are originally dissatisfied with the rhythm, or the crowd who just watch the show and don't have a good impression of monks.

Everyone was stunned.

[Hiss! Something is wrong. There is something wrong with this monk.]

[Hey! It seems this person is a true master! ]

And then there was the speech by Zen Master Huizhen.

It not only eliminates the negative impact of this negative rhythm, but also elevates it to another level of philosophy!

It feels like a discussion between two great scholars, but the debate is very interesting.

"As for the disrespect expressed by the music, I don't think so. After learning about this, I also watched a lot of analysis videos by professional musicians. I think this should be an explanation of the core story expressed by the game, not a smear."

"I agree that adaptation is not random editing, but I also think that secondary creation needs a certain degree of freedom. What's important is not the era in which the story is told, but the era in which the story is told."

Speaking of it.

Zen Master Huizhen put his hands together.

A kind smile.

"Don't let anger occupy your mind. Observe the self without self and others. See the Tathagata in the non-emptiness and non-color. If you are self-centered and think you are different from others and that you are always right, it will be difficult for you to see the Tathagata. If you cannot see through the confusion, your wisdom will disappear."

"I also ask other netizens not to speak ill of the believers. They are just being led by evil people. What we pursue is goodness, not greed, anger, and ignorance. I am very interested in black monkeys. If there are donors who are curious, I can explain it to you from the perspective of Buddhism."

This answer instantly made netizens excited.

He had great admiration for Zen Master Huizhen.

[Fuck! This is a real master! ]

[I’m sorry, Master. I was angry just now. You are right.]

[Amitabha, I am really ashamed. I was really angry when I heard people say that Li Can blasphemed the "Nirvana Mantra". This is not right.]

[I have learned something from this. I should have understood the story before making any judgment. The master is indeed very wise.]

The probability of seeing a real monk is probably lower than winning the lottery, but the great wisdom contained in Zen Master Huizhen's words would have been the level of enlightenment in ancient times.

What's more, the Zen Master is willing to explain to the players from the perspective of the game.

This immediately brought them closer to each other.

Indeed, many gamers are curious about these things, so the discussion has become much more heated.

at last.

Zen Master Huizhen, together with UP hosts from the music circle, gaming circle, and scholars of Journey to the West research, were connected by "Black Monkey" and conducted a series of joint live broadcasts.

This attracted a lot of players.

These four people will analyze the content currently released by "Black Monkey" from four perspectives.

"The biggest feeling this music gives me is a sense of resentment and disrespect. It really feels like blasphemy, and it even gives me the illusion of replacing God."

"Because if the Rebirth Mantra is to be adapted, most people would think of adapting it into a kind-looking, solemn figure. Suddenly creating this makes it feel like a demon is replacing the gods and Buddhas."

The Up master from the music industry spoke first, and the key words were quickly grasped by the scholars from Journey to the West.

"Replace it? If you mean replace it, there are many similar plots in Journey to the West, the most obvious of which is the Little Leiyin Temple. Could this BGM be related to the Little Leiyin Temple? Or, is it related to Huang Mei?"

Mention Xiao Leiyin Temple.

Zen Master Huizhen was no longer sleepy now.

"If it is relevant, I think the game production team will make a fuss about cause and effect, because sentient beings fear the effect, and Bodhisattvas fear the cause. The essence of Buddhism is the theory of cause and effect. In the game, it is very likely that Buddha and cause will be connected, but the demons who replace the immortals and Buddhas may not focus on the cause, but only seek the effect, and seek bad results, so that dramatic conflicts will arise."

"From my personal perspective, the design of the Small Leiyin Temple in Journey to the West, when compared with the Large Leiyin Temple, is quite similar to the story of Sakyamuni entering into meditation under the Bodhi tree and fighting the demon king Mara."

"The demon king, Po Xun, and the other demons represent the inner demons. The sudden enlightenment under the Bodhi tree is a struggle with one's inner self. I feel that the plot design of Black Monkey will not go beyond this framework."

You hit the mark on my words.

Netizens listened with great interest. Players were also very interested.

Only Yang Ji, who was peeking at the screen, felt sweating profusely.

His words and actions almost reveal Black Monkey's true colors.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Throughout the black monkey.

All kinds of plot designs in Xiao Leiyin Temple are based entirely on the theme of "inner demon".

Surround it from all aspects.

Moreover, the emphasis is on "causality".

Even the chapter animation "Fart", which is currently in the preparation stage, focuses on cause and effect in its text composition.

Now Yang Ji was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

These people are really outrageous.

Why can so many things be discussed from one BGM?
Because this music is not serious?
It's really fucking weird.

After turning off the live broadcast, Yang Ji broke out in a cold sweat.

But there is also a vague feeling of great relief.

Although it’s a bit overwhelming to be guessed, it means that I’m not on the wrong path and this expression is correct!

"It's just that this level of enthusiasm is a bit too much."

Yang Ji frowned, feeling something was wrong.

On the Internet, the topic of black monkeys has not decreased in popularity, and has even become more intense.

Naturally there will be many people who speak ill of it and smear it.

Yang Ji felt that he needed to pay attention to the fact that the "Nirvana Mantra" could be guided to the level of disrespecting traditional culture.

After careful consideration.

Finally decided.

Maybe we can try the second plan.

I just need to say hello to Li Can in advance and ask about his current reaction.

After all, in Yang Ji's opinion, apart from Li Can, there are few people who understand the market better than him.

He is the real market boss and the real topic king.

It would be the right decision to let Li Can come forward for reference.

So, Yang Ji contacted Li Can directly and described the recent turmoil in detail.

"Ah? Discrediting traditional culture?"

Li Can was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

"Old Li, do you want to come up with a second plan? I think we should be more cautious."

"No need, this is just the beginning. If the Black Monkey gets more popular, won't he be scolded even more? Scolding is everywhere, it's unavoidable, and there's no need to pay attention to them."

Hearing the uneasiness in Yang Ji's voice, Li Can smiled slightly.

"How about I just have a debate with them?"

"That's not necessary, Brother Chan! Stay steady! Please!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ji was shocked.

It was as if I saw a long-silent god of war preparing to massacre the Internet.

If the situation gets too serious, Yang Ji really feels that his little heart can't bear it.

"How about this? They're criticizing us for not respecting traditional culture anyway. So let's pick a few adaptations that are most likely to be criticized and let them criticize them in advance, so they don't have to make trouble after the game is released."

Yang Ji gritted his teeth.

Plan to be radical.

After all, compared with Li Can, my own radicalism is equivalent to being very conservative.

"No, don't push the propaganda yet, otherwise you will easily make more enemies."

Li Can smiled and shook his head.

The popularity of the black monkey is so high that it has even affected overseas. At this time, the authorities should not be so active, otherwise they will definitely become the target of public criticism.

As for how to help Black Monkey reduce the heat and get through this round of controversy.
"Okay, that's not a big problem. I'll run the show over at Sony. The DLC trailer for Cursed Blood Hunter is about to be released. I'll help you attract some attention and divert the topic."

Li Can's words immediately made Yang Ji feel at ease.

I feel very safe.

Since Brother Can intends to take advantage of the wave of popularity, this popularity can definitely be transferred.

It’s not that Yang Ji was timid, he just felt that this was just the beginning and it would be bad to create too much negative voices.

"Old Li, I'm really going to trouble you."

"It's not a big deal. I'll start promoting the collaboration with Cursed Blood Hunter later. Don't worry about it."

Li Can chuckled.

After hanging up the phone, the smile disappeared immediately.

Even snorted coldly.

There are always clowns who say "adaptation is not random editing" everywhere.

This sentence is indeed true.

but!
In fact, these idiots don’t even know what the core is, let alone the purpose of analysis. They just know how to show off this sentence everywhere.

Black Monkey seems to be a subversive adaptation.

But in fact, the underlying cultural logic and aesthetic artistic structure are completely in line with tradition.

This includes the analysis of "cause and effect" and "inner demons" by Zen Master Huizhen and his team.

These ones.

All of them are the true meanings of Buddhist scriptures!

Although this matter has been put aside for now, there will definitely be a next time.

In Li Can's opinion.

These people will definitely continue to jump out.

Next time, we’ll settle both old and new accounts together!
