Chapter 54: Finished already? So hasty?
Han Zhou looked indescribably knowledgeable at this moment.
Just by talking so eloquently, one can feel that his knowledge is as vast as the ocean.
And everyone knows that Han Zhou is not a learned person.
Therefore, Han Zhou was very successful in playing the role of a learned person!
Of course, they didn't know that Han Zhou was immersed in the role at this time.
"In bronze inscriptions, the character for old is a hunched-over figure holding a cane."
"Many people think that this is what 'old' means, but in fact, 'old' means 'learned'."
Gu Lang gestured with his hand to show the shape of a cane, and then said, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that there was a man who was born under Jianmu, the place where Shudu holds the sky. He controlled a green snake with both hands, and used a cane to measure the earth."
“This man is Kuafu.”
"In ancient stories, Kuafu chased the sun with a crutch, but this is just a misinterpretation by later generations."
"In fact, Kuafu used a walking stick to study the movement of the sun's shadow. Chasing the sun's shadow to study the four seasons was considered chasing the sun."
"The traces of the shadow of Kuafu's walking stick under the sun, when overlapped over a year, form the Yin-Yang fish Tai Chi diagram."
“So, at that time, the cane did not mean old, but knowledgeable.”
"The Dan in Lao Dan does not mean old, but a respectful title. Confucius was once called Kong Dan, and Sakyamuni was also called Shi Dan."
"So, Lao Dan actually means a polymath."
This point was recognized by the historian, who nodded and told everyone that it was indeed true.
The old woman, who was a Sinology scholar and Taoist believer, knew very well that what Gu Lang said was true, but his emotions became even more unstable.
As a believer , how could he accept that the person before him was Lao Dan Li Er, the Supreme Lord of Dao and Morality?
The young female student was excited: "So, you are really Taishang Laojun Li Er ?"
"The "Taishang" in "Taishang Laojun" is just a fabrication by later generations." Gu Lang: "In ancient times, the three main gods worshipped by the royal family were Tianyi, Diyi and Taiyi, who were in charge of the heavens and the universe, and were the three main gods of the universe in traditional mythology. In order to highlight the ancestor of Taoism, later generations named him Taishang, which means above Taiyi."
"The name of Daode Tianzun is just a later development because of the words Daodejing."
"As for the name Li Er, it was also a surname imposed by the Tang Dynasty royal family in order to establish the legitimacy of their rule."
"Taishang, Laojun, Daode, Tianzun, Daozu, Laozi, Laodan, they are all just names given by others."
At this point, Gu Lang smiled and said, "The only name that is close to history is Lao Dan, because he was named by people of that era. It was Confucius who gave me this name."
Confucius, Kong Qiu.
The old woman, who was a Sinology scholar and Taoist believer, was already numb.
You must find ways to be my God, right?
The historian was very interested: "Can you tell us about the Tao Te Ching? We all know that the Tao Te Ching has been revised many times in history. The original Tao Te Ching or the Tao Te Ching is definitely not what it is now."
The old woman's eyes widened. "The Tao Te Ching is the Tao Te Ching. There is no such thing as the original Tao Te Ching or the current Tao Te Ching."
Historian: "But, in the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty that have been excavated, the Tao Te Ching is not what it is today..."
"This is true history. Even though you believe in religion, you cannot deny it. You are a professor of Chinese studies. You cannot ignore the truth because of your faith."
Old woman: "I know, but I don't want to hear it. It's disrespectful to me."
The biology professor smiled and said, "Perhaps, you feel that this is disrespectful to you, just like we don't trust Gu Lang, he will also feel disrespected."
Gu Lang: "The Tao Te Ching has evolved to a point where it is no longer the same as it was at the beginning. It has changed to varying degrees to adapt to each new era. Perhaps there is no need to pursue the original version of the Tao Te Ching."
"But I have a new version of the Tao Te Ching. Do you want to listen to it?"
Everyone was very interested.
Because no one could refute Gu Lang or expose his lies.
Then, based on a scientific attitude, we can only believe that what he said is true.
If the person in front of you is the historical Lao Tzu, how lucky would you be to be able to listen to him lecture on the Tao Te Ching in person?
This is the ancient sage who was the first in human history to move towards dialectics and morality in the philosophical system. He is also a god recognized by the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism!
While they were chatting, Gu Lang had already walked quite far away.
The camera moves from here to where everyone else is warming themselves around the fire.
Gu Lang gave the camera a sad and nostalgic profile: "When the old soul realized that the new knowledge born in the Central Plains could not explain why he was immortal, he decided to leave and stay away from Muye."
"When they reached Hangu Pass, the guard Yin Xi asked him to write down his views on the world, and thus the Tao Te Ching was created."
"Leaving Hangu Pass, heading west, I came to a place where all living beings were suffering, without clothes to cover their bodies and without enough food to eat. On a low hill, under a bodhi tree, I saw a young man sitting cross-legged."
"Seeing that he was very insightful, I told him how to understand the world."
"Tell him 'The way that can be told is not the true way' and he understands 'All dharmas are impermanent'. Tell him 'It is because one does not dwell that one does not go' and he understands 'All dharmas have no self'. Tell him 'Purity and inaction' and he understands 'Nirvana is tranquility'."
"Ten years later, the prince, who had become a Buddha, discovered that he would not grow old, so he headed west again."
"A few hundred years later, he met a second young man who told the world that 'there is a higher being than me'. He regarded him as the father of his teachings and called him father."
"Taoism says that people have been confused for a long time, Buddhism says that there are eight kinds of suffering in life, and Christianity says original sin."
"Taoism says that if you don't fight, no one in the world can fight with you. Buddhism says that suffering is predetermined and you will be rewarded with happiness in the next life..." At this point, Gu Lang raised his head: "In the beginning, Christianity also talked about reincarnation. Later, the Roman Empire thought that this was not conducive to its rule, so it deleted this and changed it to say that if you endure suffering and do good deeds, you can go to heaven."
The old woman was speechless: "According to this, everyone who believes in religion in the world believes in you?"
"It's not just Buddha and Christianity, the teachings of many religions are like this."
Gu Lang shook his head: "It all started with me, but gradually, it became filled with the thoughts and efforts of many people, and it was no longer me."
Old woman: "So... I am balanced."
The atmosphere also eased.
After all, when a man says he is the god of your religion, you definitely want to hit him.
But when this man says he is the God of all religions, you can take this as a joke.
The anthropologist nodded: "We have to admit that in the history of mankind from three thousand years ago to one thousand years ago, all the religions that appeared, their doctrines on understanding people or their understanding of the world described in the scriptures were similar."
"If we exclude the influence of translation errors between languages, then it is reasonable to believe that various religions actually have the same origin."
"Among them, Laozi's understanding of the world was the earliest."
"If those religions all have the same origin, then I also believe it is the Tao Te Ching."
When several professors talked about everything from astronomy and geography, ancient relics to the philosophy of life, and finally started talking about religion.
This means that several people have surrendered.
They couldn't refute Gu Lang's statement from any angle.
Even after talking about something as mysterious as religion, they regretted it, because they used to imagine Lao Tzu to be like that, but now, seeing Gu Lang was like seeing Lao Tzu.
The female student was very curious: "In the southwest, many people like to call themselves 'Laozi'. Sometimes it is ambiguous. Laozi can refer to myself or to a saint in history."
"And for you, there is actually no ambiguity in saying Laozi, because it is both you and the saint."
Gu Lang smiled and said nothing.
"Click!" Han Zhou walked to look at the monitor.
Chen Xiaoyong looked at the shooting plan and said, "Director Han, this is the last shot for today, are we done?!"
"Well, let's call it a day." Han Zhou nodded.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is all literary drama, no one dares to make the slightest mistake in the play.
Because even when you are not speaking your lines on screen, you have to immerse yourself in the plot.
Otherwise, if someone made a mistake, Han Zhou would definitely ask for a retake.
Now everyone knows that the shooting plan is to complete the shooting in three days and use two days to check and fill in the gaps.
If we have to reshoot the scenes continuously, it will be impossible to complete the shooting as planned.
So, when the word "work is over" came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the movie is almost over at this point in the plot.
Only the final finishing touches remain.
It took two days, or two and a half days, to shoot a movie, and it was a science fiction movie.
It's too shocking to tell anyone about it.
There were a total of eleven actors, an assistant director and a photographer on the scene.
In fact, the crew is not as large as Ye Manyi's assistant team...
But this movie made everyone feel very refreshed.
The acting skills in literary scenes, the control of small details, the changes in facial expressions, and the display of the character's mentality through body language.
Sometimes I am confused, sometimes I am excited, sometimes I am thinking, and sometimes I suddenly realize.
Every time a conversation between two or more people is transformed into an "acting expression", this kind of acting is very enjoyable.
After this period, the film can almost be said to be finished.
Because the following plot is too simple.
…
The filming is finished.
Zheng Jianjun paid for the meal, and everyone had their last meal in a canteen that was claimed to be a leisure center but was actually a farm stay. It was considered a wrap-up party.
Han Zhou didn't even pay for the wrap-up banquet...
But the crowd could not leave Hengdian yet.
Because Han Zhou wants to edit the movie to see if there are any missed shots or loopholes.
If so, you have to reshoot.
But only Han Zhou himself knew it, and it was impossible for him to miss any shots.
It took two days to edit "This Man From Earth".
Next, Han Zhou will spend time composing the soundtrack for this film.
There are dozens of musical clips to be used in the play.
When Han Zhou called one by one to inform everyone that they could disperse, it officially announced that the filming of this movie was truly over.
It's incredibly fast.
By this time it was already eleven o'clock in the evening of the 31st.
On the morning of New Year's Day, January 1st, "Hello Mr. Tree" will be released in theaters.
At the same time, on January 2nd, Han Zhou will rush to Shanghai to participate in the Shanghai roadshow of "Hello Mr. Tree" and prepare to participate in the fourth episode of "Real Challenge" which will start recording on January 3rd.
