Chapter 155 Daily (3/4)
"I know about "Dragon and Tiger Gate"... Fire Cloud Evil God," Shi Shi imitated the classic line from the movie version of "Dragon and Tiger Gate": "You are not even qualified to die in my hands!"
Then he noticed Naza, who had a confused look on his face, "...haven't you seen it?"
"Fire Cloud Evil God... isn't he from "Kung Fu"? Toad Kung Fu!"
Shen Changlin interjected: "...That is a character that Zhou Xingchi borrowed from. There is also Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu in "Kung Fu"!"
By the way, he added: "Fire Cloud Evil God first appeared in "Dragon and Tiger Gate". He is the leader of Rakshasa Cult and is very famous. Haven't you two watched Hong Kong comics?"
"…without…"
Shi Shi suddenly asked uncertainly: "Fire Cloud Evil God Ancient Sword Soul?"
Fire Cloud Evil God Ancient Sword Soul, such a familiar name...
"Oh... the one you are talking about is "Tathagata Palm", starring Julian Cheung and Zhu Yin, the plot is a mess..."
Shen Changlin made a casual comment...
In those few years, martial arts in ancient costumes were rampant, and "Tathagata Palm" came into being. The plot was outrageous, the production was rough, the performances were contrived, and the actors' performances were not attentive enough. It relied entirely on the faces of big-name stars to support the ratings.
The original work is said to be "Disciple of the Evil God" by Liu Canyang...
Liu Canyang, when I was watching martial arts, there was a saying: If you don’t read Jin Guliu, you will be walking in this world in vain!
Then, more than ten years passed, and Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Linghu Chong, Qiao Feng, Li Xunhuan, Tie Zhongtang, Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, etc. were still fresh in their memories, but Liu Canyang could not remember any of his books, nor any of the characters. .
Conclusion: No sense of existence!
The TV series "Tathagata Palm" also has no sense of existence, and the ancient sword spirit played by Sun Xing is quite interesting...
But that’s Sun Xing’s own acting skills and temperament.
Shi Shi changed the subject: "You mentioned Huang Yulang just now, what did you want to say?"
Shen Changlin explained: "Last month, I met with Jackie Chan and Tang Jili. Tang Jili said that he has the copyright of Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger 5" and wants to adapt it into a TV series and invite Na Zha to star... I just want to ask Ask Nazha if he is interested."
Nazha quickly asked: "What is "Dragon and Tiger 5"?"
"I didn't know...I haven't watched a Hong Kong comic in a long time!"
When Hong Kong comics entered the mainland, they happened to catch up with Japanese comics...
We have directly imported a large number of Japanese comics since 1981, starting with works such as "Astro Boy" and "Arale"...
Then Hong Kong comics entered the mainland probably in the 1990s!
It's a pity that compared to Japanese comics, Hong Kong comics are far behind!
Not only the story, but also the storyboards, and even the character traits…
Damn it, Hong Kong comics are resting on their laurels, to the point of leaving people speechless. The author's own drawing skills and storyboard scripts have been the same for decades, and the characters are the same. Even if he is a super first-line author, he will not create other characters except muscular men and machismo. The protagonist image.
"Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "Legend of the Emperor" have exactly the same style of painting, and the protagonists look almost the same!
And... the "Legend of the Emperor" series is a complete sexual enlightenment book. At that time, Empress Daji made countless people blush after reading it...
Compare Japanese comics of the same period: "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "Ranma 1/2", "City Hunter"...
He was really beaten!
Shi Shi took out his cell phone: "Let me search..."
"No need to search, it's a doomsday science fiction theme, it's a very old-fashioned plot, with the two protagonists Red Dragon and Black Tiger, I took a look... It's quite large..."
"scale?"
"Hong Kong comics will add a lot of soft porn for the sake of sales..."
"What about the plot?"
"It is to save the world and fight against evil forces..."
The first protagonist of "Dragon and Tiger 5" is Xuanhu, the big villain with a violent personality. He killed his grandfather and raped a lot of women, including the upright Red Dragon woman...
Several heroines, Fengzi, Blue Angel, and Xi'er, were all pleased by him, and other people's children were all his children!
Many people said they couldn't stand it. As a book, it looks good, but as a hot-blooded comic, where is the blood? Is it considered hot-blooded if you are so angry that you vomit blood?
'Save the world and fight against the forces of evil?'
Gu Hao
Hearing this, Nazha was confused: "Then should I answer it?"
"Whatever...look at their sincerity."
Shi Shi: "Remuneration?"
"No, I mean the adapted script also has sub-shots... If it were produced according to the original version, it probably wouldn't pass the review..."
"...That's okay."
…
It was already 11pm when I got home.
It's almost time to rest.
In the bedroom, Shen Changlin was holding a book and was flipping through it. Shi Shi changed into pajamas and walked in: "The script of "Want to See You" has been completed."
"I know!"
"Director, we found Chen Zhengdao!"
Shen Changlin raised his head: "Chen Zhengdao?"
Shi Shi nodded: "He is very interested...he was also involved when the script was written."
"He...isn't he busy with "The Master of Hypnosis"?"
"That one has been filmed..."
"Tsk, tsk, that's awesome!"
Shen Changlin couldn't help but praise...
"sharp?"
"See for yourself, "Inner Beauty", "A Story More Sad Than Sad", "The Master of Hypnosis", and now "Want to See You", with almost no breaks in between. This is a workaholic!"
Shi Shi thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "...he enjoys working..."
"Moreover, he likes marginalized elements such as homosexuality and subculture very much... Adding it to "Want to See You" is just right..."
"Well, we are planning to film this drama next month!"
"Next month? Next month, "Godzilla" will be released, right?"
"I heard them say that it will be released in May in the United States, but we may have to wait...it doesn't seem to be in the May Day slot!"
"..."The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has been confirmed to be released on May 4th, the only imported film on May Day..."
"I don't know how "Godzilla" will do at the box office."
Shen Changlin smiled: "Whether it's good or bad, it shouldn't have much impact on you."
Shi Shi was a little angry and knocked the book out of his hand: "Are you so dismissive of it?"
"Sister, we are all our own people, don't pretend!"
"Bah, I can't go into Hollywood!"
Shen Changlin deliberately widened his eyes: "...just based on five minutes of plot?"
Shi Shi pinned him down: "...I bit you!"
"Come on, bite me to death...I'll go and bite me, you are a puppy!"
…
This year’s May 1st schedule, Changlin Film and Television is under considerable pressure.
"The Master of Hypnosis" will be released on April 18th, competing against "Transcendental Hacker". The cost of this film is less than 40 million. With Xu Zheng + Liu Qianqian, there is no pressure to make back the money...
The key is "Go See You Now" scheduled for April 25, a romantic drama produced by Changlin Film and Television. The director is Liu Chang, with Xue Xiaolu as the producer and Shen Changlin as the producer.
This film can be said to continue the reputation of Changlin Film and Television's romance films...
The problem is that in the same period, there are three domestic films, "My Deskmate", "The Devil" and "Little Reunion of the World", as well as two Hollywood imported films, "Rio 2" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
And... "I'm Going to Meet You Now" is the first film produced and distributed by Maoyan. Lighting is a rival in this period - "My Deskmate" is produced and distributed by Lighting.
Chapter completed!
