Chapter 529: It is difficult to be caught by high-level black
Chapter 529: It is difficult to be caught by high-level black
The black must be subtle to be called high-level black.
Wen Rui has always believed that film and television dramas must first be entertaining and commercial, and only then can they achieve ulterior motives.
This is the advanced experience he learned from a certain Western superpower in the field of cultural and creative industries in later generations.
To put it in a more sophisticated way, this is called "beyond the containment strategy," or so-called "peaceful evolution."
A group of gods watched the live broadcast with great interest and gradually forgot to find evidence that Wen Rui was slandering Buddha. Instead, they were immersed in the joys and sorrows of mortals.
Not to mention the other immortals, even the Jade Emperor had forgotten his original intention. The discerning Taibai Jinxing did not forget to ask the fairies to bring some fairy fruits and delicacies and place them in front of the Jade Emperor so that he could eat while watching and feel more free and at ease.
Isn't this more beautiful than having a dozen fairies dancing in the hall?
Even if Chang'e were to dance, it would just be a dry single dance form, which could not compare with the eighth art, a comprehensive visual and auditory feast.
This kind of film and television drama, which is very obscure but carefully choreographed to subtly instill ideology in people, will produce a "dog whistle effect."
Most people can't see much when they watch it, and their attention is often diverted by the exciting, interesting and tortuous content.
Only fanatics and extremely sensitive people will accurately receive details that they consider to be seriously offensive.
The more Happy Arhat watched, the more frightened he became. He had never had the opportunity to review all the slanderous Buddhist films and TV shows circulating in the mortal world in such a comprehensive and systematic manner.
There are a lot of miscellaneous themes and contents in the movie viewing list.
Some of the movies like "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Legend of White Snake" are still okay, but the extremely bad ones like "The Seduced Monk" and "A Certain Grass Monk" are simply immoral.
There is no censorship system in this era. The moral order is collapsing and the music is in decline. Filmmakers in Liberty City have a high degree of freedom. Not only do they dare to shoot anything, but they also don't censor any restricted shots.
The bloody, violent, and erotic elements are not deliberately stacked, but there is no need to avoid them. In short, they are visually impactful and more likely to arouse the interest of the audience.
But there is also a purpose, which is that it must have a story, must be based on life and be higher than life.
After several days and nights of critical film review, the gods and the Jade Emperor were still a little reluctant to leave.
In the immortal class, the immortals whispered, "I heard that the high-level Ruyi Immortal Soldier Jade Cards issued by the heavenly soldiers and generals have changed to entertainment mode. If the authority is high enough, you can see 'movies' in it, and there are a lot of them, and they are updated frequently."
"I heard that the high-authority jade token is not easy to obtain. It is said that you need to collect resources in the Desire Realm to accumulate points, and use the points to increase your authority."
"It seems that Nezha has one, and he plays something called 'game' with it every day."
"Can it be that only the heavenly soldiers and generals have the opportunity to obtain it?"
"Oh no, I'm a civil servant, there's no chance I can get a piece of it."
……
Not to mention the gods, even the Jade Emperor, after hearing his subjects' whispers, had the idea of getting a "Ruyi Immortal Soldier" jade tablet that could be used to watch these interesting movies.
It’s much more interesting than listening to classical music or watching Chang’e dance!
As the Jade Emperor is under so much pressure, it would be good for the three realms if he could relax a little.
"Your Majesty, please be fair and give me an explanation!"
Happy Arhat felt that the atmosphere in the High Heaven Palace was not right, and he reminded loudly: "Everyone saw it, right? Wen Rui's followers created these filthy and evil shadows, blatantly slandering our sect, and portraying our disciples in such a terrible way, no different from evil spirits!"
He continued angrily, "This kind of evil that disturbs people's hearts should be banned! Please issue an order to collect the evil shadows in the three realms, arrest the demon who created the evil shadows, kill them according to the heavenly law, and then send their evil souls to hell to never reincarnate."
"Your Excellency, are you making a big fuss?"
"Yeah, it doesn't seem like much. I thought it was just some evil videos narrated by demons, but it's just stories about the trivialities of mortal life." "Although mortals have short lives, they live wonderful lives. Many of the stories are heartbreaking."
"Ah, it reminds me of the things that happened before I became an immortal..."
Before Wen Rui could refute, a great immortal came to argue for him. The gods who were just watching the show really did not have the sensitivity of Buddhists. They did not think there was anything wrong with artistic works that reflected the real lives of the general public.
"Isn't this how people who struggle in the world live?"
Wen Rui said slowly: "The wonderful moments of their ordinary yet extraordinary lives are condensed and presented. If they slander the Buddha, who is at fault, the human or the Buddha?"
"Don't you understand?" Happy Arhat said anxiously, "He hid the fabricated and distorted content of my teachings in the story, quietly misleading people. He deserves death."
"Humph!" Wen Rui snorted coldly: "You said I fabricated and distorted the story? Then let's talk about the truth. Which story did I fabricate and distort?"
"Each of them is a fabrication and distortion!"
The Happy Arhat scolded, "My Buddha is merciful, saving all people and teaching them to be good. How can my disciples be as unbearable as those in the movies and videos taken by your followers?"
Wen Rui sneered and said, "Okay, then I'll take up a little more of your time and show you the documentary about the filming of these TV series and movies."
"I know that you Western orators like to slander good people with empty words. Your ability is all in your mouth. I have already prepared the evidence."
The projector started again, and a documentary began to play on the screen. It was a record of the directors of these film and television dramas visiting the field and collecting story materials from the folk.
The content format of this broadcast is completely different from those entertainment products. The whole process is shot like a news report. The directors followed the Demon Alliance's undercover team into the hinterland of Xiniu Hezhou, and combined with the negative information that Wen Rui forced out of the Five Hundred Arhats, they interviewed the local people on the spot.
Many of the prototypes of the characters in the film and television works you just saw were interviewed in the documentary and told real events that happened to them or around them.
Every incident and every scene can be traced, tracked and verified.
The Demon Alliance's undercover team even infiltrated the Tantric temple in the Great Snow Mountain, installed hidden cameras in the temple, and captured the bloody scene of the making of magical tools.
"It hasn't been that many years, how come everyone has forgotten why I was deified?"
Wen Rui crossed his arms and sneered at the panicked Happy Arhat: "I was the one who destroyed the Happy Zen Sect. Many of the directors who filmed these movies and TV shows rescued babies from the Happy Zen Sect's livestock farm. They and your sect, not to mention a blood feud, are also sworn enemies. Isn't it normal for them to film some works that hide the stain of your sect?"
"You are allowed to do it, but others are not allowed to say it?"
"Just because they are my followers, you are accusing me of something and trying to silence the victims with the help of the Jade Emperor?"
"You are insulting the Jade Emperor's intelligence. Do you think he is the kind of tyrant who can't tell right from wrong and is played around with like a monkey and used like a knife?"
Wen Rui criticized Huanxi Luohan with sarcasm and indirect criticism, which made him sweat profusely.
The Jade Emperor’s face darkened when he heard this.
After cursing for a while, Wen Rui changed the subject and said, "I felt something was fishy from the beginning. Such a stupid plan, sending a small character like you to implement it, could it be the work of Tathagata?"
After these words were spoken, Huanxi Luohan's face twitched unnoticeably and his eyes unconsciously turned away.
"Are you really here to file a complaint in Heaven on the orders of the Tathagata Buddha?"
Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Why don't you tell the truth quickly? Who sent you here?"
