"I'm not really concerned about production costs... I want to know how you plan to adapt it!"

"The Legend of the Withered Heroes"…

The original work has more than one million words, a bunch of stories and characters.

Condensed into a movie?

This stuff is quite difficult!

"We are going to basically follow the framework..."

There are no major changes in Xu Ke's "The Legend of the Withered Heroes". Summary of the story: In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Guo was sent by Guo Jing to Quanzhen Mountain to learn martial arts. However, he escaped because he was repeatedly bullied. He accidentally fell into the "Tomb of the Living Dead" and was killed.

He was rescued by the mysterious woman Xiao Longnu. She had extraordinary martial arts skills and agreed to teach her all her money. As time went by, the two fell in love. The Southern Song Dynasty was facing the threat from the Mongol Empire in the north, forcing the master and apprentice to set off to fight against the powerful Mongolian enemy...

"Does Guo Jing have many roles?"

"Not too many!" Old Monster Xu said: "The first part mainly appears in supporting roles, just show your face..."

Shen Changlin nodded...

After all, Guo Jing’s protagonist is so rich, morally perfect, chivalrous and loyal and patriotic...

‘The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people’!

Most importantly, this guy has great fighting ability!

In "She Withered", Guo Jing fought against Ouyang Feng, Qiu Qianren and the old naughty boy in a shabby house in a deserted village... and finally escaped.

This is not just after he has achieved great success in martial arts, it is also the time when his martial arts is on the rise.

The protagonist of "Wither of the Gods" is Yang Guo. If Guo Jing really takes action, Jinlun will be down already. What's the matter with Yang Guo?

Guo Jing and Jin Lun fought three times in total:

Hold the golden wheel after the first two palms;

The second time, an arrow shot out the bow in Jinlun's hand;

The third Mongolian camp was one against four...

Jinlun Dharma King led a group of people to fight, including Guo Jing and Yang Guo, who broke into the Mongolian camp. Jinlun Dharma King + Yin Kexi + Xiaoxiangzi + Nimoxing were three helpers. The four of them came together, and Kublai Khan mobilized troops and horses to surround them.

As a result, Guo Jing used the Quanzhen Teaching Tiangang Beidou Formation, and one person seemed to be transformed into seven people. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were sometimes strong and weak, swallowing and spitting, both hard and soft. Not only did he not fall behind at all, but also

They took the opportunity to counterattack, and the more they fought, the more they became more and more confident. In the end, Yin Kexi was beaten until he vomited blood, Nimoxing had three broken ribs, and Xiaoxiangzi was beaten so hard that his whole body became feverish...

This fighting power is off the charts!

If you really want to take pictures of him, what else will happen to Yang Guo?

Mr. Xu continued: "The most important thing in "Withering Gods" is of course love..."

Xu Ke briefly talked about how he planned to shoot "Wither"...

Shen Changlin probably listened to it for a while, and then he agreed, surrounding love...

"Withering God" itself is known for its love!

Among Jin Yong's many novels, "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is a slightly strange one, or in other words, the word "love" runs through the entire novel...

From the beginning, Wu Santong's love for his goddaughter, Li Mochou's love for Lu Zhanyuan, to Xiao Wu's love for Guo Fu, Yang Guo's love for Xiao Longnu, and even later Qiu Qianchi's perverted love for Gongsun Zhi, Yinggu's love for

Zhou Botong’s love…

Of course, there is no need to shoot so many movies.

The main plot is still Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu!

Shen Changlin listened to what he said and felt... pretty good, so he nodded: "Okay, I am only responsible for the investment in this play..."

“Are you buying the rights?”

Shen Changlin thought for a while and nodded: "Buy... not only "The God Wither", "She Wither", I also bought "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"!"

"Buy all three parts?"

"Yes, the actors in "Wither of the Gods" have finished playing "Wither of the Gods" and they need to lend me their use..."

"Huh? You use them? You want to make a remake?"

Shen Changlin smiled: "Director Xu, do you know "Martial Arts World Adventure"?"

Xu Ke was confused...

…

Three hundred million…

Including publicity and the like, a small number of 350 million.

Costume dramas are not easy to sell advertising...

Product placement is not easy to do!

As for the peripherals, I can contact Perfect, which owns the game copyright of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"...

It is estimated that they can pay 100 million.

In other words, Changlin Film and Television will have to pay 250 million!

The problem is, the current box office limit for martial arts movies, including costume movies, is actually not very high...

The star cast is actually useless.

"Order of the Samurai God", Zhou Xun + Chen Kun, the best combination ten years ago, still has a huge box office!

In the original time and space, Bona later took over the project of "Wither of the Gods", but also let Xu Ke film the prequel of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" first, and then cast "Wither of the Gods"...

Shen Changlin is quite confident in Xu Ke.

Even if you lose money, how much can you lose?

What's more, "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" made a profit of more than 300 million!

"Shushan: The Origin" also needs to be controlled by Old Monster Xu...

Just invest 300 million to help him realize his dream!

What’s more, it may not fail!

We can still use Xu Ke's previous movies to imagine what "Wither of the Gods" would look like at his best.

In "Once Upon a Time" Huang Qiying, Lu Zhendong, Liu Yongfu, etc., Guo Jing is also like them, dedicated to the country!

As for Long Guo Zhi Lian, Xu Ke has too much love in his hands, and Xu Ke is very good at photographing women...

Maybe, it’s not impossible to create a classic screen couple again!

Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Changlin plans to use it again and make a "Martial Arts Adventure", which only has three worlds: "She Wither", "Shen Wither", and "Yitian", which is an infinite flow. The male protagonist travels through various places in the book.

Pretending to be slapped in the face...

Is there a beginning for this cool drama?

It’s hard to say…

But it should be ok!

Find a platform, Bilibili or Tengxun...

The cost must not be too high. If it is really not possible, let’s try out the film "The Legend of Chaos" first, and then come back to "Martial Arts Adventure"...

As for what Shen Changlin said about ‘borrowing actors’, he actually meant asking the actors to sign two contracts.

Overlord clause?

What kind of overlord clause is this?

You can choose not to sign!

But if you don’t sign Xu Ke’s “Wither of the Gods”, you’ll be out of luck!

…

"Yang Guo, what do you think of Chen Xiao?"

"...Of course it's good. Chen Xiao looks very handsome."

Old Monster Xu nodded...

Shen Changlin was very happy when he saw that he had no objection. How should I put it, in this time and space, Chen Xiao joined Changlin Film and Television, and did not hook up with Yu Mama like in the original time and space, so he never played Yang Guo.

Although it is a good thing, after all, Yu Mama is not easy to mess with...

But... Chen Xiao said before that she wanted to play Yang Lailai!

What a coincidence that Mr. Xu is going to film it now!

Seeing that Shen Changlin casually named Yang Guo's candidate and that it was a good fit, Old Monster Xu decisively asked, "Where's Xiao Longnu?"

"...You haven't decided who to look for?"

Old Monster Xu shook his head...

Shen Changlin was a little speechless...

This is too ridiculous!

You want to film "Wither of the Gods", and you haven't decided who the male and female protagonists should be, so why don't you pick an egg?

Old Monster Xu suddenly said: "Don't choose any traffic flow, who knows if something will happen to them?"

"Don't worry about this!"

Tsk tsk, Old Monster Xu is also scared.

It's normal. Everyone is afraid of the current situation - real money will be thrown down. If this is because the actor's house suddenly collapses...

After thinking about it, Shen Changlin said: "In this way, when we audition Li Yingqiong, we should also choose actors suitable for Xiao Longnu!"
