Chapter 900 Discussing "Shu Mountain" (23)

"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"...

Xu Ke has filmed two versions. In 1983, "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" starred Zheng Shaoqiu, Brigitte Lin, and Yuan Biao. The special effects shots were done by the Hollywood "Star Wars" team.

Although it won a box office of 15.87 million, the cost was too high and it ended at a loss.

However, "New Swordsman of Shushan" has accumulated a large number of local special effects talents in Hong Kong. Later, "A Chinese Ghost Story" used the upward shooting method to show the bizarre and bizarre Liaozhai world in a mysterious and dazzling way: in addition to the heart-stirring love affair between humans and ghosts, it was built around Lanruo Temple.

The system of gods and monsters is even more amazing, and the Eastern Taoist elements that appear in the monster fight are extremely imaginative.

In 2001, he made "The Legend of Shushan" again, starring Ekin Cheng, Louis Koo, and Cecilia Cheung. It cost a sky-high price of 100 million and received a box office of 30 million, but it ended dismally again...

Too ahead of its time!

I didn’t understand what I saw before, but now I see that the world of Shushan is filled with fairy spirit and far-reaching artistic conception.

Thousands of miles of sky, sword energy spreads across the sky!

Therefore, Old Monster Xu is a new generation of mountain monster - he dares to spend more than 10 million US dollars to do this!

In addition, "The Legend of Shushan" is far better than the past in the 1980s and 1990s in terms of service and scene rendering, and the production level is comparable to international standards, which also gives special effects people a lot of room to display.

Those who did special effects for "The Legend of Shushan" later became independent special effects talents. For example, Xu An later worked on "Painted Skin 2" and "Legend of the Gods"; Huang Hongxian worked on "Yangtze River No. 7" and "The Legend of White Snake".

", and even accepted orders for "Iron Man 2" and "Transformers 3".

""The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"? Are you sure?"

Hearing what Shen Changlin said, Mr. Xu immediately became energetic. He has a complex about "Shu Mountain"!

"Of course I'm sure... Let's review it. What's the biggest problem with the first two "Shu Mountain" films?"

"It's not enough to tell stories..."

"On the one hand, the story is not good. On the other hand, "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" was a popular thing in the 1920s, and many viewers are not familiar with it at all..."

After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "The most important point is, what is the purpose of the struggle between good and evil?"

The struggle between good and evil in "The Legend of Shushan" is entirely about struggle for the sake of struggle. It is all about killing, killing, fighting, fighting, and dying...

Why fight?

have no idea!

In fact, the story of the original "Shushan Swordsman" is very messy, and the characters are mostly tool roles, carrying narrative functions, and are limited by the author's very traditional values, which are either black or white, good or evil, especially the villains in the early stages, which are standard.

Extremely vicious and lustful, as long as they are villains, the men are like cock-crowing dogs and thieves, and the women are **** sluts...

In the later stages, my personality finally became a little more diversified. In the early days, the green-robed ancestor, the demon corpse Gu Chen, was a simple evil person. He had sores on his head and pus on his soles, and he had no motive or purpose. He was just plain bad!

The most amazing thing about "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is the unrestrained imagination in the combat system.

Shushan's combat system is composed of flying swords + divine thunder + magic weapons (talismans) + formations.

There is no lack of descriptions of flying swords in the novels about gods and demons before Shushan, but they are often described simply as "a sword beam is spitting out a hundred feet long". However, in "Shushan", flying swords are standard equipment.

The sword light has different lengths, different colors, different levels of power, and different additional attributes.

There are even two swords combined - Ziying Sword and Qingsuo Sword. Such a groundbreaking setting, especially in the early stages, the flying sword can almost be said to be the representative of combat effectiveness. Li Yingqiong frightened away many strong men with just one Ziying Sword.

enemy.

As for the setting of the magic weapon, it is so imaginative that it flies out of the sky!

The magic weapons in "Shu Mountain" are really rich!

The author Huanzhu Louzhu continues to come up with fantastic magic weapons, and the detailed description of the function, power and battle process of the magic weapons has reached a level that has never been seen before by the ancients and will never be seen again!

Therefore, Mr. Ye Hongsheng wrote "The Most Wonderful Book in the World"...

Also, don’t watch "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"...

This book is so annoying!

Gu Long was criticized for being an anticlimax but a snake with a tail end. Huanzhu Louzhu is not even a tiger head, but a rat head at best!

When I have an idea, I start digging a hole. Then I write down a hundred and eighty thousand and another idea pops up, and then I start digging a hole again...

The plot keeps bifurcating. For example, Guo Jing and Yang Guo are chatting here: "Guo'er, where did your Dugu Nine Swords come from?" Yang Guo was halfway through talking, and suddenly Linghu Chong walked in and heard: "Dugu Nine Swords?

I can do it too." Then Guo Jing ignored Yang Guo and listened to Linghu Chong's talk about the blood-sucking magic. Xu Zhu suddenly came over and said, I know this. Then Guo Jing started to listen to Xu Zhu's talk about how he accidentally broke the

Zhenlong chess game learns Beiming magic...

As the story progresses, a third party is suddenly inserted, and then the story line shifts to the third party.

This narrative style is very annoying...

Storyteller style!

One thing leads to another, and the new thing leads to a further place because of a person, so the book starts with the Qing Dynasty, and later it writes about the Song Dynasty...

It makes people very angry!

As for why the hole was dug but not filled?

Probably because "The owner of Huanzhu is not allowed to continue poisoning"...

…

When Xu Ke heard this, he immediately asked: "Then what do you think is the purpose of the struggle between the pros and cons?"

"I think it could be that the Shushan Sect, as the world's orthodoxy, must follow the heavens and seal the vitality of the heavens and the earth..."

"What?"

Shen Changlin explained: "Whether it is the righteous way or the heretical way, cultivation is all for the purpose of ascending to the immortal world, but the immortal world does not want immortals to appear again in the human world, so it is proposed to block the flow of heaven and earth energy to the human world, Shushan..."

Xu Ke nodded excitedly: "In this way, the battle between good and evil will have a basis!"

Shen Changlin nodded: "Yes, the main logic is clear."

"But if you set it like this, Shushan's position will be very embarrassing..."

"Can additional settings be added? For example, the upper world was originally planned to be blocked immediately. The Changmeizhenren from Shushan thought that it was not easy for monks to practice in the human world, so he deliberately fought for 2000 years... But the villain didn't know and thought it was Shushan's conspiracy? As long as Shushan is defeated...

"

"right!"

Xu Ke couldn't sit still: "Can I read the script?"

Now, it was Shen Changlin's turn to be embarrassed: "I haven't started writing yet... This is just a plan. If you agree, I will let them start development right away..."

"...Okay, I definitely agree!"

After a pause, he continued: "According to your expectations, it is going to be a series. So where do you plan to start the first one?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while and then asked: "...What do you think of Deng Yin?"

Deng Yin is Ding Yin in "New Shushan Swordsman". He is a relatively out-of-the-box villain...

According to the original work, Deng Yin and Changmei Zhenren once worshiped Taoist Master Yu as their disciple. Later, they violated religious rules and were expelled from the sect. With a grudge, they forgot their origins and joined a side sect. They gradually committed all kinds of evil. Later, they obtained a secret book in the demon sect called "Blood Blood". Nerve", thus changing its name to Blood God Son!

You can add settings. Why is it against canonical rules? He believes that human monks have the right to pursue ascension. The idea of ​​​​decentness is wrong!

Go against the will of heaven…

Xu Ke nodded immediately: "Okay... where is the character?"

"...Let's write the script first. How about tentatively choosing Li Yingqiong as the main character?"

"OK!"

…

This matter has been decided for the time being, Xu Ke has agreed to direct, and the main plot of the script has been completed. All that is left is to fill in the chapters!

Screenwriter...it's best to find an online writer.

It's not that I look down on traditional screenwriters, but "Shu Mountain" has 5 million words. Except for those who specialize in writing "Shu Mountain" fan fiction, few have read it carefully...

It just so happens that there is a label of "Shushan" in the category of "Xianxia".

Find them, hold a creative meeting together, and then let a professional screenwriter write the script...

Shen Changlin didn't write - he hadn't read "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"...

If you don't understand something, don't touch it!

In this regard, Shen Changlin is very professional!
Chapter completed!
