"Don't Panic King" is the "team building project" of the comedy variety show "Annual Comedy Competition", also known as the "Annual Joy Club", with a total of 14 episodes of short dramas, each episode of 20 minutes. Gather some of the best actors in the show together to make a short drama, isn't it funny? Is the acting good? The acting is okay, a little green, not enough per capita drama skills.
Anyway, these actors often get together to make a drama, which can be regarded as an explanation to the audience, and they are relieved to know that they still have filming.
If you want to ask if the comedy short drama "Don't Panic" is good-looking, of course it is good-looking, but if it is so good-looking, you need to taste it carefully to look good, if you want to find excitement and play novelty, it may not be so cool. If it weren't for the fact that I had to chase down the show because I liked it, and even watched the tidbits, I might not want to watch it, because it was a little sad, talking about some destined fate in the past life and the true feelings of the world that happened by chance, which is a scarce resource in the life of people in the current society.
The Panda Spirit Linglong Pagoda, referred to as Lingling, who has practiced for hundreds of years, wants to become an immortal. Heavenly Court summoned Xingjun, who had the qualifications to become immortals, and sent them to the mountains of various monsters to go undercover to interfere with the demon's plan to eat Tang Seng's meat, as long as he completed the task of escorting Tang Seng to learn the scriptures, he could pass the investigation.
Panda Jing Lingling rode a tattered somersault cloud to the designated monster cottage Flower Neck Mountain, and fell into the desert halfway, and finally contacted the East Dipper Xingjun of Shangfeng Siming Mansion, Shangfeng only cared about his own entertainment and pastime, and also randomly arranged the identity of the pig spirit chef for him.
Lingling stole the oxcart of a certain monster halfway and rushed to Huaneck Mountain, where she found that the boss Wang Pink Wind Monster had died, and the cottage group had no leader. The military advisor mole monster, known as the mole master, found that the ox cart that Lingling rushed to was the son of the boss king, and mistakenly thought that he was the son of the pink wind monster who had been studying in Chang'an, and insisted on promoting Lingling as the new king. Linglong Tower is worried that things will change, I have never seen such a casual latent mission, the people of Heavenly Court just ignore it except for prevarication, and want to slip away as soon as possible, Shangfeng let him plan to lurk with peace of mind.
The mole master introduced the situation of the cottage to Linglong Tower, which was not optimistic, the financial deficit, the resignation of employees, the guard Daji (rooster essence), the chief manager Pang Crab (crab essence), and the director Jackal Spirit were all looking forward to the new king reforming the cottage.
True love in the world begins with half-heartedness. At first, Linglong Pagoda just wanted to leave the tattered Flower Neck Mountain as soon as possible, since there was no threat to Tang Seng and his apprentices here, there was no point in staying here. Originally, he was mistakenly arched to the position of the king, so he could only try to perfunctory the little demons, and more than once tried to completely eradicate Huaneck Mountain, no matter what kind of reform it has. However, the mole master is particularly loyal to the first king, has a deep affection for the cottage, and is especially able to "understand" the meaning of the king, and is a very qualified and good senior manager of the enterprise.
The screenwriters wrote the story "class in class". The old cottage is to be transformed into a scenic tourist resort, similar to the reform of the enterprise organization, it is very annoying to look at, as if it did not get off work, and the reform plan of the neck mountain has come out with several versions of the plan, the current popular "blue xiang" style, the style of exploring the store, the live broadcast style, the style of cultural tourism, etc., it is pertinent and disgusting, here is a compliment. Sure enough, it is a continuation of the screenwriter's style of the "Annual Comedy Contest", and the theme hardcover version of "Sketch", what is the style?
The selection of demons made Linglong Tower see the small self, and by the way, I learned about the miserable life experience of the little demons, who still wants to live, wants to beg for food, why do you wait for 369? I didn't expect all kinds of reform measures to be crooked, and Huaneck Mountain was revitalized. Heavenly Court reassigned the agent codenamed "Fantianyin" and the Linglong Pagoda joint, asking him to play the king well, wait for the arrival of Tang monks and apprentices, and then catch them all, never felt the excitement of the Linglong Pagoda, which was valued by Heavenly Court, and managed the cottage more devotedly.
How to be a king of management demons, how to "dump" the problem to the employees, so that the employees only work less rest and ask for less money, there are all here, and the irony is full. However, in the end, I have to tell the audience the truth, how does Linglong Tower lead the little demons to build Flower Neck Mountain?
Many ordinary people who seem cynical have a few people in their hearts who can't let go, but they don't want to declare it. The mole master taught the Linglong Tower spell, coped with the assessment of the combat power of the cottage, maintained the image of the king, and narrowed the distance between the two demons. Linglong Pagoda remembered that the master who had raised him since he was a child, he had already become an immortal and attained the Tao, and he would never see him again, and his heart was very touched. Linglong Tower was suddenly captured by the king of Butterfly Valley, and the mole master traveled around the demon village, lobbying all parties, looking for the whereabouts of the butterfly queen, exchanging interests, and trying his best to rescue the king, and Linglong Tower also knew the miserable life of the mole master. At the same time, the Mole Master's investigation of the Heavenly Court's lurkers also began. The part of catching undercover agents is especially like Tudou Lu Yan's comedy "Code Name Big Ben".
Many of the little demons in Flower Neck Mountain have an insignificant dream, but they are frequently frustrated in the world. The first king took in the guard Daji (rooster essence), the chief manager Pang Crab (crab essence), the director jackal spirit and many other little demons, they are simple-minded, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, Flower Neck Mountain is the place where they rely on to survive, rehearsed the chorus "Don't panic the king, there is me", and it was indeed moved to the Linglong Tower. From hoping to eradicate Huaneck Mountain soon, to hoping that Tang monks and apprentices will come slowly and cherish the time everyone has together.
Unexpectedly, the king's own son came back from the trek, and the chief Pang supported the son of the former king to overthrow the Linglong Tower, and the mole master fled with the Linglong Tower regardless of life and death, knowing that the Linglong Tower was not the son of the king, he grabbed the Fantian seal and confronted the Linglong Tower. Another unexpectedly, both sides of the Linglong Pagoda didn't want to hurt, and let go of Fantianyin, causing the cottage to be burned, and the son of the first king was unwilling to take responsibility to pack up his things and leave, leaving a mess.
Linglong Pagoda completed the task, was promoted and raised, and continued to lurk, but he knew that the heavens still wanted to destroy Huaneck Mountain, so he couldn't rest assured that the little demons would return to Huaneck Mountain, and he was just on the front with Tang Seng and his apprentices. Linglong Pagoda sacrificed his life to protect the little demons, and the little demons sang "Don't Panic King" again, which moved Sun Wukong, because he was still thinking about the little monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, and in the end, Sun Wukong let them go.
That's it.
The short play satirizes the chaos of people in heaven who are superficial and nepotistic. It's too difficult for the grassroots goblins to get ahead, either they have great skills or have a backstage, and for most ordinary goblins, they are basically in a state of self-destruction. We hear too much "you have to work hard", but what kind of environment we work in is very important, since everyone is going to play the game, then the rules of the game must be fair, at least relatively fair. However, this world has always been the background board of most people as cannon fodder, a very small number of people can stand on the tuyere and take off, most of the people who can take off have backgrounds and resources, and those slogans that ordinary people can also come out are not just creating a dream for them that can never be realized?
Many actors in the play are still in the state of young actors who are very happy when they have work to do, and they cherish everything they get in front of them. This mentality will more or less become less or even disappear as fame grows and people get ahead. If one day one of them becomes popular, it will be difficult for them to get together again to make any earth-shattering dramas, and sometimes it is easier to share hardships than blessings.
I'm an ordinary king, the world is big, sometimes I'm panicked, can I just use my sincerity?
