This director is very reliable

Chapter 983 "Sculpture of God" (13)

In fact, Li Yingqiong in the original "Swordsman of Shushan"...is not a good person, but a weakened version of Miejue Shitai!

Jealous of evil like hatred, destroying people all over the house at every turn...

It's true to destroy the family, every time the Ziying sword is unsheathed, it is a massacre, and Li Yingqiong is also keen to make up the knife, never letting anyone in the evil way go!
Not only Li Yingqiong, the plot of the whole series of Shushan Swordsman's Killing and Seizing Treasure can probably be summed up with this story: one or several old Lai (the villains in the original book) owed money and did not pay back (occupied the treasure that originally belonged to Emei) and then Emei went right People came to ask for it, but some people didn't want to return it, some people didn't know the truth, and some people misunderstood it. Then the so-called "heroes" of Shushan righteous way couldn't wait, and they came up and beat them up. If you don't pay back the money you owe, you will beat him to death!

Kill the door directly!

In the original work of "Shushan", the violence of the righteous people of Shushan is an act of justice, with the backing of the fairy world on the upper level, and the elders in the sect below.

No way, this is a writing technique that is out of touch with the times!

In fact, martial arts novels have gradually moved towards dialectical materialism and historical materialism since Jin Yong, Gu Long and others. In the era of the Republic of China where the host of Huanzhu is located, he still viewed morality, good and evil in a static, isolated and one-sided way. It is inevitable that he is out of touch with the mainstream of the current era!

Therefore, Li Yingqiong's character design must be changed.

However, Shen Changlin doubts that Old Monster Xu is keen on "Shushan" because he likes Li Yingqiong and does not love men, but loves Lily!
Pulling back, Shen Changlin called Zhao Shan, and the three of them discussed the role arrangement together.

First of all, there is a consensus that Ding Yin must be Zheng Shaoqiu, and Changmei must be Hong Jinbao...

Secondly, Mrs. Miaoyi and Master Miaoyi decided to use first-line actors.

"Yang Xiaomi and Chen Xiao!"

"...Don't you need a weekly newsletter?"

"Zhou Xun is too old, and her height cannot support the role of a fairy!"

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "The villain actors try their best to find special actors, Du Yuming, Li Ming, Du Xudong can all arrange... By the way, Taoist Chi Yan can find...David Jiang!"

Xu Ke nodded: "David has always wanted to shoot martial arts...he can hold it up!"

Shen Changlin smiled, and then asked Zhao Shan: "... Li Yingqiong, do you have any recommendations?"

"Currently four people have been designated, Li Kaixin, Hu Lianxin, Li Wanda and... Zhuang Dafei!"

Zhao Shan handed the information to Old Freak Xu and Shen Changlin...

"Who is this?"

Shen Changlin took the information... Damn, I don't know any of them!
"If you want post-00s, these are all students and haven't started acting yet, except that Li Wanda has acted in "Ip Man 4" before...it hasn't been released yet!"

Old Freak Xu nodded: "...I know Li Wanda, under the banner of Zedong Film and Television!"

"Wang Jiawei signed it?"

"Ok!"

Zedong Films is still very powerful. Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, and Gong Li were all artists of Zedong Films before, including Zhang Zhen, Zhang Rongrong and the former Dong Bailian.

Is this Li Wanda very powerful?
Old Monster Xu continued: "I met her once... she doesn't look like a chivalrous woman either!"

There were only four people, and Shen Changlin quickly read it, and asked doubtfully, "Why aren't there Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai?"

Zhao Shan explained: "...Zifeng's personality is a younger sister, a national girl, which doesn't match Li Yingqiong. As for Maizi...she doesn't look so delicate..."

……

Well, the post-00s are busy competing for the character design of the national girl!
The image is more obedient girl...

Because this kind of image is more friendly to the people, it is easy to receive endorsements, and it is easier to realize commercial value!
Moreover, the mainland film and television dramas, post-00s, are mostly TV dramas, and they all play daughters and younger sisters...

Sweet girls and national girls are also more likely to receive projects!
Lee Young Joong is special and not sweet at all...

Actually, if Liu Qianqian was ten years younger, she would be the best candidate...

Or the meat bar is five years younger, that's fine too!
It's a pity that there is no old medicine in the world...

The three discussed intensely, and then probably decided to use Hu Lianxin.

It's not that she is so suitable. In fact, in terms of looks alone, I can only say that she is not bad, and she is far from heroic, so why, tentatively choose her?
The reason is very simple, she is the signed artist of the company!
Of course, there is still a role audition, what if you meet a more suitable one?
It's impossible to say this kind of thing...

Old Monster Xu didn't leave, but chatted with Shen Changlin about "Sculpture of God"...

He knew that if Shen Changlin was willing to join in, all problems would be solved!

……

"In 66, I was 16 years old. The first time I watched martial arts was "The Legend of Condor Heroes". I was immediately attracted by the grotesque world of martial arts and the love story between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu. Read all 14 novels of martial arts by Jin Yong in one semester."

"I returned to Hong Kong in 78. At that time, I submitted dozens of resumes, but every time I failed, so I changed my mind and wrote letters to the bosses and directors of film companies and TV stations..."

"Write letters? Will they get back to you?"

Xu Ke nodded: "Yes, I have written letters to Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che. Neither Zhang Che nor Hu Jinquan suggested that I go to work in a big company like Shaw Brothers, because a big company has a lot of talents. A young man without any experience has no It is impossible to have a chance to be successful in ten or eight years... I suggest that I go to the TV station first!"

"Have you gone?"

"Yes, I'm going to Dejiayi TV Station!"

In the 80s and [-]s, many TV stations emerged in Hong Kong, including Jiayi TV...

It's a pity that Jiayi TV Station has only existed for three years!

In addition, the first version of Jin Yong's dramas was filmed by Jiayi TV, "Shooting the Condors", "The Condors"...

"Jia Yi is a new company. I went there and got a job. I filmed the martial arts drama "Golden Knife Lover"... Then Wu Siyuan invested in me and filmed "Butterfly Change", "The First Type of Danger" and "Hell Without Doors" ..."

Why did Wu Siyuan invest in Xu Ke?

Because Jiayi TV went bankrupt in November 78...

"In 87, I planned to shoot "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and I visited Jin Yong under the recommendation of Huang Zhan. Mr. Jin Yong wanted me to shoot the relatively unpopular "Snow Mountain Flying Fox"..."

""Snow Mountain Flying Fox"?"

"Yes, but I insist on "The Legend of Condor Heroes". In the end, Huang Zhan suggested to shoot "Swordsman" to practice first, and then "The Legend of Condor Heroes"..."

And then everyone knows...

In 92, "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" was a big hit at the box office. Jin Yong was very angry when he saw his work being modified by Xu Ke. talk."

In fact, Xu Ke asked Zhang Tan to write the script of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in 93...

Xu Ke plans to invite Andy Lau to play Yang Guo and Wang Zuxian to play Little Dragon Girl.

He personally visited Jin Yong to discuss the right to adapt the novel, but Jin Yong refused to meet Xu Ke.

No way, Shi Nansheng came to visit again with a gift. Jin Yong warmly entertained Shi Nansheng, but when it came to the copyright of the adaptation of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Jin Yong firmly disagreed...

Shen Changlin said something fair: "Actually, novelists don't want their works to be changed. It's best to take pictures of them and don't change a single word!"

Xu Ke doesn't understand martial arts?

In "Swordsman", Qu Yang, Liu Zhengfeng, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan are carried on a small boat on a mighty river.

Qu Yang played the qin, Liu Zhengfeng played the flute, and Linghu Chong played the sanxian. They sang the heroic and chic "A Laugh from the Sea" while playing...

Isn't that martial arts enough?

When it comes to "Invincible in the East", wine and songs, sex and love, this is the keynote of the entire movie in "Invincible in the East", and everyone feels drunk.

——The situation in the world came out of my generation, once I entered the arena, the years reminded me, Wang Tubaye was chatting and laughing, and I was so drunk in the world!

Xu Ke doesn't understand martial arts?

Bullshit!
However, "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...

"How much money do you need?"

"At least three hundred million!"

"First?"

"Ok!"
