In fact, Li Yingqiong in the original work of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"... is not a good person, he is just a weakened version of Master Miejie!

He hates evil as much as he hates it, and he kills people all over the house at every turn...

It was a real genocide. Every time the Purple Ying Sword was unsheathed, it was a massacre. Moreover, Li Yingqiong was also keen on finishing the attack and never let go of any evildoer!

Not only Li Yingqiong, but also the plots of the entire series of Shushan Swordsman: Killing and Seizing Treasures can be summarized by this story: one or a few old gangsters (villains in the original work) did not pay back the money they owed (took possession of the treasures that originally belonged to Emei), and then Emei

Righteous people came to ask for it, but it turned out that some people didn't want to pay it back, some people didn't know the truth, and some people had misunderstandings. Then the so-called "heroes" of the right way in Shushan became impatient and came up to give them a beating.

If people don't pay back the money they owe, they will be beaten to death!

Kill them directly!

In the original work of "Shu Mountain", the righteous people of Shu Mountain carried out violence as an act of justice. They had the support of the immortal world above and the seniors in the sect below. These two factors led to the righteous people of Shu Mountain being able to use violence to collect debts at will.

There is no way, this is a writing technique that is out of step with the times!

In fact, martial arts novels have gradually moved towards dialectical materialism and historical materialism starting from Jin Yong, Gu Long and others. In the Republic of China era where Huanzhu Louzhu was located, moral good and evil were still and isolated and one-sided, and it is inevitable to be out of touch with the mainstream of the current era!

Therefore, Li Yingqiong's character must be changed.

However, Shen Changlin very much suspected that Mr. Xu was so keen on "Shu Mountain" because he liked Li Yingqiong and not men, but Lily!

Back to the topic, Shen Changlin called Zhao Shan, and the three of them discussed the role arrangements together.

First of all, it was unanimously agreed that Ding Yin must be Zheng Shaoqiu, and Chang Mei must be Sammo Hung...

Secondly, Mrs. Miaoyi and Mr. Miaoyi decided to use A-list actors.

"Yang Xiaomi and Chen Xiao!"

"...Don't you need weekly news?"

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

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "Try to find special-type actors as villain actors. Du Yuming, Li Ming, and Du Xudong can all be arranged... By the way, Taoist Chi Yan should find... Jiang Dawei!"

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

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

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

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

"Who are these?"

Shen Changlin took the information... Damn, he didn't recognize anyone!

"You want the post-00s generation. These are all students who haven't started acting yet. Except for Li Wanda who acted in "Ip Man 4" before...it hasn't been released yet!"

Old Monster Xu nodded: "...I know Li Wanda, she is under Zedong Film and Television!"

"Signed by Wang Jiawei?"

"Um!"

Zedong Pictures is quite 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!"

There were only four people. Shen Changlin read it quickly and asked confusedly: "Why are there no Zhang Zifeng or Zhao Jinmai?"

Zhao Shan explained: "...Zifeng's character is a younger sister, a national daughter, which does not match Li Yingqiong. As for Maizi...she does not look so refined..."

…

Well, those born in the 2000s are busy competing for the role of the nation’s daughter!

The image is more like a good girl...

Because this type of image is more friendly to the people, it is easier to receive endorsements, and it is easier to realize commercial value!

Moreover, mainland film and television dramas, those born in the 2000s, are mostly TV dramas, and the characters are daughters and sisters...

Sweet girls and national girl characters are also more likely to receive projects!

Li Yingqiong is very special, not sweet at all...

In fact, if Liu Qianqian were ten years younger, she would be the best candidate...

Or maybe 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 of them had a heated discussion and probably decided to use Hu Lianxin.

It’s not that she’s very suitable. In fact, in terms of looks alone, I can only say that she’s not bad, but far from being heroic. So why is she tentatively chosen?

The reason is very simple, she is a signed artist of the company!

Of course, we still need to hold a role audition, what if we meet someone more suitable?

It's impossible to say this kind of thing...

Old Monster Xu did not leave, but chatted with Shen Changlin about "The Withering of Gods"...

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

…

"In 1966, when I was 16 years old, I watched martial arts for the first time, and it was "The Legend of the Withered Heroes". I was immediately attracted by the bizarre martial arts world and the love story between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. From then on, I became obsessed with martial arts and became a die-hard fan of Jin Yong.

I read 14 of Jin Yong’s martial arts novels in one semester.”

"I returned to Hong Kong in 1978. I submitted dozens of resumes, but nothing came of it every time. So I changed my mind and wrote to the bosses and great directors of film companies and TV stations..."

"Write letters? Will they reply to you?"

Xu Ke nodded: "Yes, I have written letters to both Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che. Neither Zhang Che nor Hu Jinquan recommended that I go to work in a big company like Shaw Brothers, because big companies are full of talented people, and a young man without any experience can't

There is no chance of getting ahead in ten or eight years... I suggest that I go to a TV station first!"

"You went?"

"Yes, I go to Jiayi TV Station!"

By the way, in the 1970s and 1980s, many TV stations emerged in Hong Kong, including Jiayi TV...

Unfortunately, Jiayi TV only existed for three years!

In addition, the first version of Jin Yong's dramas were filmed by Jiayi TV, "She Withered", "Shen Withered"...

"Jiayi is a new company. When I joined, I got a job, filming the martial arts drama "The Lover of the Golden Sword"... Then Wu Siyuan invested in me and filmed "Butterfly Transformation", "The First Type of Danger" and "No Gate to Hell"

…”

Why did Wu Siyuan invest in Xu Ke?

Because Jiayi TV went bankrupt in November 1978...

"In 1987, I planned to shoot "The Legend of the Withered Heroes", and I visited Jin Yong on the recommendation of Huang Zhan. Mr. Jin Yong wanted me to shoot the relatively unpopular "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain"..."

""Snowy Mountain Flying Fox"?"

"Yes, but I insisted on "The Legend of the Withered Heroes". In the end, Huang Zhan suggested to film "The Swordsman" first to practice, and then film "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"..."

Then everyone knows...

In 1992, "The Swordsman: The Invincible" was a box-office hit. Jin Yong was very angry when he saw that his work was modified by Xu Kemo. He shouted in front of the media that Xu Ke "doesn't understand martial arts, so he changed it blindly. In the future, friends can do it, and cooperation is free."

talk."

In fact, Xu Ke asked Zhang Tan to write the script for "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" in 1993...

Xu Ke plans to invite Liu Dehua to play Yang Guo and Wang Zuxian to play Xiao Longnu.

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

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

Shen Changlin said something fair: "Actually, novelists don't want their works to be changed. It's best to copy them without changing a word!"

Xu Ke doesn’t understand martial arts?

"Swordsman", on the mighty river, a small boat carries four people, Qu Yang, Liu Zhengfeng, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan.

Qu Yang played the piano, Liu Zhengfeng played the flute, and Linghu Chong played the three-stringed string instrument. As they played, they sang the heroic and free-spirited "A Laugh from the Sea"...

Isn’t this martial arts enough?

When it comes to "The Invincible East", wine and song, sex and love, this is the keynote of the entire movie "The Invincible East", and everyone feels like they are intoxicated.

——The world is full of turmoil. As soon as I enter the world, time rushes forward. King Tu is chatting and laughing about his supremacy. It is a drunken experience in the world!

Xu Ke doesn’t understand martial arts?

Bullshit!

However, "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"...

"How much capital do you need?"

"At least three hundred million!"

"Part one?"
Chapter completed!
