Old Monster Xu is quite popular recently...

Although "Qi Men Dun Jia" failed, even "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" cannot be said to be a success...

"Four Heavenly Kings" is said to have cost 300 million, with a public announcement of 55 million.

Let’s make it clear, only one billion in box office will make the money back!

But the final box office was only 620 million...

But this thing did not affect Xu Ke...

LeTV sent him an invitation to direct "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"...

A lot of press releases were sent out, such as "Xu Ke said he most wanted to film "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"", "Xu Ke's Past Story of Jin Yong"...

The draft should be true. What Xu Ke originally wanted to film was indeed "The Legend of the Withered Heroes". Unfortunately, the copyright is not in Jin Yong's hands. It seems that Shaw Brothers bought it out...

First I filmed "The Swordsman".

Then he did "The Swordsman: The Invincible East"...

Both movies have good reviews and box office!

The audience liked it, and Mr. Xu himself was also satisfied.

But the original author was very, very repulsive and disgusted.

"The Invincible East" completely offended Mr. Jin Yong. He publicly stated, "Xu Ke doesn't understand martial arts at all. He is just randomly filming and randomly changing Swordsman. The Invincible East can't accept the male-to-female change. I don't like it very much."

adaptation.'

Although the incident of Dongfang Invincible will not overturn the boat of their friendship, they can still be friends but cannot make a business.

Jin Yong said that Xu Ke later wanted to buy his novel to make a movie, but he was determined not to sell it or cooperate.

Why reconciliation?

Wen Jun said it was because Jin Yong thought it was very good after watching Xu Ke's adaptation of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and his attitude towards him changed...

Everything has been negotiated, why not do it?

Because...LeTV is going to go bankrupt!

Jia Yueting ran away and LeTV Pictures almost went bankrupt. How could there be money to make movies?

Does Shen Changlin have any ideas to take over?

Let's talk about this...

"The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is not easy to adapt, how can you create something new with this thing?

Could it be that the protagonist is changed to wither?

Also, there is only one successful logic for adapting movies from Jin Yong's novels, which is to allow moviegoers to see the movie before understanding Jin Yong's story. Otherwise, no matter how high the quality of the movie is, as long as it is linked to Jin Yong's story, it will most likely be criticized.

The batch taken in Hong Kong in the last century.

Two parts of "The Swordsman", two parts of "The Deer and the Cauldron", "Tianlong of Tianshan", "The Leader of the Demon Cult of Yitian" including "Ashes of Time"...

The quality of the movie is good, and the environment at the time was also good. Most of the main people on the Internet were not familiar with Jin Yong's stories when they watched these movies in the past. The creators can delete or modify them at will, as long as the final output is

The content is okay, even if it is far from Jin Yong's story, or even has nothing to do with it, moviegoers will still be able to accept it.

But I don’t believe that the current audience who are familiar with Jin Yong’s stories can accept an adaptation setting at the same level as old Hong Kong films.

It would be better to make "Shu Mountain". At least the public doesn't know much about this story, and there are many places that can be used.

…

Of course Xu Ke has feelings for "Shu Mountain"...

I worked hard to make "New Shushan Swordsman", and then "Shushan Biography"...

But he knew that Shen Changlin asked him to film "Shu Mountain" because he wanted him to be the founder!

——Shen Changlin's original words: Build a "Shushan" movie world through a trilogy.

The movie world is complete, and the subsequent stories can be stuffed into it...

The first version of the script was submitted last year and was written by Li Mincai and Zhang Tan who Xu Ke found. These two are Xu Ke's royal screenwriters. The former's masterpieces are "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon" and "The New Crane Needle". Zhang Tan is even more powerful.

, "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Once Upon a Time in the Sky", Zhang Tan later got involved with the little poetry master, "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", "The Promise" were all written by him

Shen Changlin rejected it directly!

Old Monster Xu has always wanted to combine Western magic with Eastern fairy tales...

Therefore, the script is not much different from "The Legend of Shushan", both are the struggle between good and evil!

Shen Changlin once again denied this concept: Eastern Fairy Tales is an independent story. Regardless of the art, the world view is completely different from Western magic...

The species are all different, how can they be forced to merge?

Are there any works that combine the two?

Of course there is. In the early days of online writing, this was a genre. All kinds of otherworldly novels. The core element was the magic of cultivating immortals and PK!

There is nothing special about classics... "Zhang Sanfeng Travels to Another World" is okay.

If you are willing to search, you can find a lot with keywords like alien world, alien world, and cultivation!

Bringing it back, Shen Changlin simply found a screenwriter himself. The core of "Shu Mountain" is the struggle between two modes of thinking: going with the will and going against the will!

The story line is arranged around the growth of Sanying Eryun, especially the first protagonist Li Yingqiong, and tells the growth process of the generation after Emei. During this process, they constantly clashed with aliens. Gradually, two major divisions of power formed in the world of Shushan.

One faction is the righteous one headed by Shushan, and the other is the heretic faction that confronts Shushan for various reasons...

Ding Yin, son of the Blood God, is here to serve as the number one boss of the villain. After all, having such a character in front of him to form an alliance can also coordinate the actions of some big bosses, such as King Xuanyuan, Po Panpo, the demon corpse Gu Chen and even Wu Nangong, etc.

In the first part, Li Yingqiong went on a trip, which led to the climax of the big fight at Ciyun Temple!

Bai Mei appears and Ding Yin also appears, highlighting the essence of the battle between good and evil...

According to the plan, the second part is about killing the green-robed ancestor and the demon corpse Gu Chen...

The third part is the Emei Battle!

The trilogy perfectly establishes the world view of Shushan, and the subsequent battles in Qingluo Valley, Phantom Wave Pond, and Copper Coconut Island can all be developed independently...

Just like after the "Once Upon a Time" trilogy came out, "The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" and "The Iron Monkey" were also filmed to make money!

Even if you want to continue shooting, you can also shoot Emei Kaifu, Ningbiya Kaifu, including Tianchi Shentuo, Miao Jiang fighting against red hair...

The script was released and sent to Mr. Xu. The latter read it several times and found it to be indeed better than what Li Mincai and Zhang Tan had written!

…

Xu Ke is here this time, ready to start filming "Shu Mountain"!

Then the casting of the first protagonist Li Yingqiong is very important!

According to the original work: She was born beautiful, innocent, and somewhat heroic.

Of course, the casting cannot completely copy the original work. After all, Li Yingqiong was 9 years old when he appeared...

"New Shushan Swordsman" directly sets the fairy castle against the demon sect, and sets the female lead as the master of the fairy castle, which is Brigitte Lin...

"Shushan Biography" has Cecilia Cheung...

Cecilia Cheung was so beautiful then!

At that time, she always starred in movies, and her partners were all popular stars at the time.

Xie Tingfeng, Zheng Yinjian, Ren Xianqi, Li Ming, Louis Koo, just like the stars...

When filming "The Legend of Shushan", Xu Ke tried every means to show her temperament and beauty, and even restored Brigitte Lin's look back then!

Let's put it this way, Zhang Ziyi also starred in "The Legend of Shushan", but she was made like a village girl by Cecilia Cheung!

When I was 22, I stood like a slave!

Bringing it back, now that "Shushan: The Origin" is about to be filmed, the casting of Li Yingqiong is the top priority!

When Mr. Xu met Shen Changlin, his first words were, 'Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?'

Shen Changlin has a hairy...

He shook his head: "Have you?"

Old Monster Xu also shook his head: "I looked around in Hong Kong, but none of them are suitable. They don't have that kind of temperament!"

Shen Changlin sighed...

Yes, it is indeed difficult. The most important thing in the conception of Li Yingqiong is his extraordinary temperament!
Chapter completed!
