Chapter 68: Long adaptation is difficult

Song Ge resigned and joined Longlin, although it is little known to the outside world. But in the film industry, it really caused a lot of shock.

Wanda Pictures has a strong financial background and a cinema bonus, and no matter how bad the development is, it will not be inferior to Huayi and Bona. But the so-called Longlin Studio is not good, and it is quite difficult for this kind of small studio that has nothing to do with it to develop.

It's very simple, too many people want you to "die"!

Andy founded Tianmu that year, and lost 40 million in five years. Xing Ye set up "Cai Xing", and a "Journey to the West" will be dry.

Li Yangzhong's self-organized Zhengdong Film Company is also struggling, although the pioneering work "Fang Shiyu" has a good reputation and box office, but the box office of the remaining films is average.

When "Jingwu Hero", which is known as a textbook of kung fu films, was released, it failed miserably at the box office. Li Yangzhong was disheartened and disbanded the company and went to Hollywood.

And Longlin Studio, such a leather bag company, was able to dig up the boss of Wanda Pictures, which surprised the industry too much, and Wanda was angry.

Okay, it's all fake to talk about the cooperation in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and it's true that you want to dig up the general in my account. That is, the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" is too fierce, and Wanda Pictures does not dare to speak ruthlessly easily, otherwise it will have to suppress the film schedule.

said that Song Ge joined Long Lin, and everyone in the crew of "Ten Cold" also knew that Lu Lin was going to make a big move. For a while, the people in the crew became more and more enthusiastic about Fat Di. It's very simple, she's such a female artist under the studio, who doesn't praise her!

Fat Di is modest and polite, but she thinks in her heart how her brother will arrange her. Since the last time Lu Lin said that he could call his brother, Fat Di was still called Director Lu when he was on the set, but when he occasionally had the opportunity to be alone, he must have called his brother.

That night, the crew finished work, and Lu Lin asked Fat Di to go out to eat with him and Song Ge. Although Song Xiaoya is the oldest in "qualifications", her ability is really limited, so she will not be taken to such a high-end "meeting".

got on Lu Lin's Volkswagen Bora, and Fat Di said: "Brother, why haven't you changed the car yet?"

Lu Lin sighed: "Then what time is there!

Fat Di, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the passers-by on the street of Huairou and suddenly said, "Hey, brother, do you greet passers-by when you ride in the car?"

Lu Lin knew that this thing was definitely between the goddess and the female nerve, otherwise he would not have chosen her to play Athena. smiled: "Of course not, you do that?"

Fat Di said "um" and blew himself up funny. "I once rode in my dad's car and learned how to bark to scare passers-by, but my dad parked the car next to the man. Then the man looked at me speechlessly, and I silently rolled up the window!"

Lu Lin laughed when he heard this: "You, your father is also very ruthless, and his strength is a baby!"

Fat Di smiled lightly, "My dad said I was too skinny, so you have to treat me like this!"

Lu Lin haha: "I think it is!"

Lu Lin drove with Song Ge one after the other to a high-end hotel in downtown Huairou City. After entering the booked box, the three of them sat down, and after ordering the food and drinks, Song Ge suddenly said: "I bought the copyright of these online novels, and you plan to make them into movies?"

Lu Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, a little bit!"

Fat Di poured a glass of water for Lu Lin and another glass for Song Ge. Song Ge took the cup in his hand and said thank you, and then said: "But these novels are millions of words, the relationship between the characters is complicated, and the plot is numerous, so it's not easy to change!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "That's the case, but it's up to people! Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels back then were also notoriously difficult to adapt, and they didn't make such fine works as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and "The Demon Sect Master"!"

Speaking of the adaptation of Jin Yong's novel, we have to mention Xu Ke and Wang Whale. Director Xu Ke is a Chinese from South Vietnam who moved his family to Hong Kong when he was 16 years old. The war and turbulent life of his childhood created his "troubled times", which are often expressed in different forms of heartbreaking, humorous and helpless in the movie.

Refracted to the classic films "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Undefeated in the East", it can grasp the essence of the original work, and can not only create a chic and uninhibited Ling Hu Chong, who is eager to return to seclusion. It can also deconstruct the essence of the power struggle in the "Sun and Moon God Cult".

Especially at the end of "The East is Undefeated", when the blind one eye does whatever it takes, cleaning up those criminals he thinks is rebellious, and letting the heads fall to the ground, it is definitely the finishing touch of the film. It turns out that it makes no difference who sits in that position.

And the ghost king whale is a well-known fast gunner, and he has always loved to make crazy spoofing and spoofing movies. However, in the adaptation of Jin Yong's novel, it is right to call it a ghost.

The Xingye version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", on the premise of maintaining the structure of the original story, has made a large number of deletions and changes to the plot, especially on the word "anti".

Its well-known master-apprentice dialogue that is talked about by many fans is the so-called "anti-Qing and Mingming" activity of the Heaven and Earth Society, which is a spicy mockery.

And when it came to "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", Wang Fatzi once again exerted his talent and began to deconstruct the famous and decent family. Because an important conflict that runs through Yitian is the opposition between good and evil in the rivers and lakes, as a result, there are funny and funny Huashan two elders, cruel and vicious extermination of old nuns, and hypocritical monks.

The image of Zhang Wuji in the film is absolutely subversive. From the soft-hearted and indecisive "good martial arts young man" in the book, to a very deep, forbearant and ambitious person. To be honest, such a Zhang Wuji is in line with his growth experience.

And Zhao Min's sentence at the end of the film, Zhang Wuji, I am waiting for you in most of the capital, has made fans look forward to it for 20 years!

It can be seen that the million-word novel adaptation of the movie is not without a future, the key is whether it can grasp the essence of the novel and whether it has the ability. Or maybe you can find someone who has that ability.

For the book "Breaking the Sky", Lu Lin's initial idea was to grasp the essence of the original work, delete and streamline the plot, and the plot would temporarily end in Yunlanzong. Whether to use one, or two, you have to talk to the screenwriter team.

Song Ge listened to Lu Lin talk about the classic films converted into long-form masterpieces such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and "Demon Sect Master", and thought: "It's also the same reason, but I'm afraid it's not easy to find such a screenwriter!"

Lu Lin smiled: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, I want to form a screenwriter team like Hollywood, as long as the script is qualified, money is not a problem!"

Song Ge sighed: "It's not that simple, most of our domestic screenwriters write by themselves behind closed doors, and they are not used to cooperating with others!"

Lu Lin smiled: "Can't you add money!"
