Phoenix Satellite TV's Chinese channel, its programs are mainly based on factual reports.

The style of the show remains relaxed while trying not to step on the line.

Xu Hui likes this style very much, so he didn't refuse the invitation to "Qiang Qiang Threesome".

……

Xu Hui hopes to have a meeting with Mr. Jin Yong with full respect.

He really wants to know what kind of big mind the master who can write 'the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people'!

It's a pity that Mr. Jin Yong is not at home, and it is said that he went to the UK to study...

However, he has carte blanche to handle the film and television adaptation.

Most of the film and television adaptation rights of Mr. Jin Yong's works have been sold, and the deadline has not yet arrived.

Generally, there is a time limit for the permission to adapt a work.

Usually between five and eight years.

Jin Yong is not stupid, even if he sold the copyright of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to Yang Ma for one dollar back then, there is a time limit!

"The copyright should still be in the hands of Zhang Dabeard now, but it should expire next year..."

No wonder the bearded man has filmed so many Jin Yong martial arts dramas in ten years, it turns out that the copyright is about to expire...

However, the film and television copyright of Mr. Jin Yong's works is too complicated, first of all, Mr. Jin Yong himself looks at his copyright very lightly, and now he is an old man in his nineties, and he no longer manages the copyright himself, and the copyright has already been handed over to the person in charge under him, at best, his wife Lin Leyi occasionally takes care of it.

Once Jin Yong's copyright is sold, he doesn't know who will end up in his hands, which is also very sad.

"There are not many companies in the mainland that have the ability to produce and produce film and television dramas, please be sure to promise, once the copyright of Mr. Jin Yong's work expires, contact us as soon as possible, and we will provide the greatest sincerity..."

……

After dealing with the meeting with Mr. Jin Yong, Xu Hui came to the recording studio of "Qiang Qiang Threesome".

The layout of the studio resembles a small study, with a hint of classicism.

The most striking thing is the round table in the middle, around which three chairs are placed, and the host and guests are seated.

The host of the show is Dou Wentao, and there is a resident guest host Liang Wendao.

Both of these people are quite able to speak, and they are one of the very few TV shows in China that can make people watch an entire episode just by bickering, but there is one point, these two views are sometimes biased towards the West.

How can it be considered public knowledge without belittling the mainland?

Xu Hui came here mainly to promote the movie.

In other words, "Huang Feihong" has been released in Xiangjiang for four weeks, and the popularity has not diminished, and the box office has exceeded 50 million, and now it is working hard to achieve the top ten records in the history of the box office of discourse movies...

Arrived at the recording site, put on the wireless headset, Xu Hui walked to the field...

Not even a script...

Dou Wentao, who was wearing rimless glasses, saw Xu Hui, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and smiled: "Director Xu, I've really admired the name for a long time, and I've been looking forward to recording a show with you!"

"Where, I'm also looking forward to being on "Qiang Qiang Threesome"..."

"Director Xu, look up for a long time. ”

Liang Wendao, who was in the head of the board, had a smile on his face and shook hands.

Xu Hui also replied with a smile: "... Look up for a long time..."

Nima, don't you have any other words for these people?

Xu Hui doesn't know much about the two hosts, that is, he only knows a rough idea.

After reading the synopsis, I said, 'This talk show is very eclectic, either for the audience, or for gossiping on a topic'

No wonder the ratings are low!

After chatting a few words with each other, the three of them sat down, and the theme of today's program is "The Past and Present of Kung Fu Movies".

After all, it is Xu Hui, known as the new representative of kung fu movies.

……

"The one who is here today is Director Xu Hui, who is known as a new generation of ghost directors!"

"Thank you!"

Xu Hui clasped his hands together and thanked the camera.

"Xu Hui is known as a genius director, and the total box office of your movie exceeds one billion, right?"

"There should be..."

"What a ghost director!"

"No, don't keep talking about me like that, in the past, Director Ning Hao debuted, you called him a ghost director, and now you call me a ghost director, I feel that the 'ghost director' is too overflowing..."

Liang Wendao explained with a smile: "This also means that everyone loves you!"

"I'm ashamed..."

Dou Wentao went straight to the point: "In fact, when it comes to action movies, we generally think of kung fu superstars, such as Li Xiaolong, Chen Long, Li Lianjie..."

"In recent years, there have been very few new generations of kung fu superstars..."

Liang Wendao continued.

"In addition to "Ip Man" making Zhen Bullet popular, now Wu Jing also relies on "Huang Feihong" to officially become a new generation of kung fu superstars!"

"They are not considered a new generation, Wu Jing is thirty-six years old this year!"

Xu Hui silently added.

“… Director Xu, from the perspective of a director, tell us why kung fu movies have a cliff of ten years? After entering the new century, few new kung fu movies have caused a sensation. ”

"I think it's because of the audience's aesthetics, because it's difficult for kung fu films to come up with new tricks. ”

Xu Hui glanced at Dou Wentao and Liang Wendao, and then said: "In fact, the reason why traditional Chinese kung fu has been able to jump from an ordinary folk skill to a "national art" and even the sustenance of the entire national spirit is inseparable from the idea of "sports to save the country" that arose in the early 20th century, and the concept of "the sick man of East Asia" has been repeatedly spoken in this process and has become an important national identity discourse in the narrative of later kung fu films..."

"Yes, Li Xiaolong's "Jingwumen" is a theme related to this aspect!"

"That's right, Mr. Li Xiaolong has played a great role in kung fu films! I went on to say that at that time, many people mentioned 'sports to save the country', relying on personal strength to break the shackles of the traditional concept of 'the sick man of East Asia', although it failed, but it provided us with a lot of inspiration for our later film creation... That is, the nationalist narrative!"

Xu Hui took a sip of tea from the cup in front of him and moistened his throat: "When it comes to kung fu films, the sign of officially becoming an independent film genre is the release of "The Legend of Huang Feihong" directed by Hu Peng and starring Guan Dexin in 1949.

Although this series seems a little too old now, some of the basic elements are still commonly used in modern kung fu films: the real martial arts of hard bridges and hard horses, the national spirit of self-improvement, the traditional morality of modesty and etiquette...

However, during this period, nationalist narratives were still not a common theme in kung fu films, and national sentiments were still in a non-"manifest" stage in the film.

In the 70s, Mr. Li Xiaolong shot three films in Hong Kong, completely incorporating national emotions into kung fu films!

In particular, "Jingwumen" perfectly combines the theme of "revenge" in traditional martial arts films with ethnic conflicts, and Chen Zhen broke the plaque of "The Sick Man of East Asia" and kicked off the sign of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", which has become a classic shot of Chinese films!"

"Yes, wow, I didn't expect Director Xu to not only make movies, but also to study these theories so deeply!"

Liang Wendao looked at Xu Hui with an extremely appreciative gaze, as if he was re-examining him.

“… I'm a kung fu movie fan myself, and I'm obsessed with kung fu and martial arts movies!"

Xu Hui explained with a smile.

"No wonder you can make a movie like Once Upon a Time!"

Dou Wentao sighed a little.

"What did you think of when you conceived the movie "Once Upon a Time"?"
