Chapter 616: Martial Arts Movie

The final box office of "Those Years" still broke 1 billion, of course, compared with Lin Xiao's previous movies, the box office of "Those Years" is still a little lower.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, although "Berserk Chariots 4" ended up without a problem because of Riley Booker's stupid fork, it still affected "Those Years" after all.

Of course, youth films have a relatively large audience of moviegoers, but after all, it is not the kind of movie that kills all ages, and it still has its limitations.

During this time, the entertainment industry was very lively, thanks to Wang Bin's big sieve, the façade of the entire entertainment industry female stars was immediately pressed to the ground and rubbed.

After all, although everyone knew that the entertainment industry was very chaotic before, there was no intuitive impression, and there were usually one or two scandals at a time, but this time it was different, N broke out all at once, and they were all unsightly, and some even came with their own characters or White Lotus, a small and fresh type.

As a result, as soon as Wang Bin's stuff was released, tsk, the picture was so exciting, comparable to an educational film in an island country.

Wang Bin also knew that he was making a bit of a big fuss this time, so he was very low-key these days.

And something is happening in the film industry.

Originally, it didn't seem to have much to do with Lin Xiao, but the entertainment industry is a circle, it doesn't matter, it's not too easy to get involved.

After "Those Years", several martial arts movies were released one after another, and even held high the banner of reviving martial arts.

Any director who makes a movie wants to be recognized, either by the market or by awards, and those who say that a movie is the director's self-expression, why do you spend tens of millions to express yourself? You are not Wang Bin, and your father is not Wang Tianhua.

Chang Hu is one of them, Chang Hu is a veteran director of Huaguo, although he does not have many works, but he is one of the only remaining martial arts film directors in Huaguo.

Chang Hu only shoots martial arts, when martial arts films were popular, he made martial arts, and now martial arts films seem to be in decline, he still shoots martial arts.

Chang Hu is ambitious, otherwise he would not have sharpened his sword for a few years to create a big martial arts movie in his mind.

The banner is also the banner of reviving martial arts movies, and he has that qualification, after all, in the history of Chinese film, he occupies half of the more famous martial arts movies.

Chang Hu is indeed relatively capable, his new film "Martial Arts Fight", according to the publicity, this film, he spent three years to conceive the script, and it took another 2 years to finally shoot it.

Chang Hu does not admit the decline of martial arts movies.

As a result, the box office of "Wulin Taidou" exploded, and although the box office did not exceed 100 million on the first day, it reached 70 million.

finally won a box office of 700 million Chinese dollars, which is already a record in the history of martial arts movies.

Chang Hu sharpened his sword for ten years, and finally came to the top and successfully reached the top.

For a while, all kinds of touting came as promised, and the originally low-key Chang Hu also changed his usual low-key and began to appear frequently in the media.

And martial arts fans directly crowned Chang Hu as the master of martial arts movies in the film industry.

Speaking of which, Chang Hu's works are actually not many, and there are only five in total, but I have to say that Chang Hu does have his own uniqueness in martial arts-themed film and television works.

Although "Martial Arts" is not a perfect work, and the film and television library score is not too high, only 7.2 points, but this is already the highest rating of martial arts movies in recent years, and it is also the highest box office.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Xiao, but one of them is a master of martial arts movies, and the other is a master of the martial arts world.

And this statement is really very marketable.

Lin Xiao has the copyright of many martial arts, and the stories are all top and good, and Chang Hu is currently the most accomplished director of Chinese martial arts films.

A good story and a good director, so is the revival of martial arts movies far away?

Lin Xiao also went to watch "Martial Arts Heroes", to tell the truth, although this movie is not as good as the outside world boasts, it is still very good compared to those martial arts movies in the past, Chang Hu's strength is still there, but it is not as high as it is touted.

If the conditions are right, Lin Xiao doesn't mind cooperating with the other party once.

Although Lin Xiao "copied" a few films, in fact, not every story of his ability is suitable for adaptation into a movie, but a TV series is more suitable.

But there are still a lot of suitable adaptations, and Lin Xiao has not done it, mainly because he is not familiar with action movies.

There may not be a clear definition of what movies are the most difficult to make, but action movies are certainly one of them.

Therefore, Lin Xiao still admires this Chang Hu, there are really not many directors who can make good martial arts movies this year.

"Martial Arts" is a pure traditional martial arts, not some fantasy martial arts or the like, it is really not easy to make a traditional martial arts movie a box office hit today.

Hollywood movies like to make sequels, and the first part lays the mass foundation, and the second and third parts will follow immediately.

Very simple reason, as a film company, it is necessary to ensure long-term financial stability, but the investment risk of film is too great, and no company can guarantee that the film will be a big hit, so the filming and sequel are the most guaranteed means.

The second is to adapt the IP.

Adapting IP, bringing its own traffic, and topics are naturally much more popular than original works.

In the Chinese market, in recent years, there have been few acclaimed and popular original plays, although there are, but there are really not many, especially large-scale productions, almost one-time adaptations.

Therefore, now IP is becoming more and more valuable, especially IP suitable for adapting film and television works.

The film and television adaptation rights of several martial arts films currently in Lin Xiao's hands naturally belong to the top IPs.

What Lin Xiao didn't expect was that he would soon have an intersection with the great director of this martial arts movie.

"Tiger Man Film and Television, what's the origin?" Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Jie with a confused expression.

"The company of Chang Hu, the director of "Wulin Taidou". Xiao Jie said.

"It turned out to be him, what's the matter, he's interested in me?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Of course, there aren't many people who aren't interested, right? What do you think?" asked Xiao Jie.

"I can see it, to be honest, I admire this director Chang Hu, who can shoot traditional martial arts well, and it took so long to carve it, it's really not something ordinary people can do. Lin Xiao told the truth.

"Okay, I'll schedule a time, and you'll see. Xiao Jie nodded.

If you want to adapt Lin Xiao's martial arts and adapt it into a TV series, it is not difficult, but it is really not so easy to operate if it is adapted into a movie, because movies and TV series are different, the space is limited, and a complete story needs to be told in a limited space, so it must be created twice or three times.

Moreover, in the current martial arts movie genre, there are really no directors who dare to say that they shoot well.
