In July, the latest issue of "Ancient and Modern Legends" published the finale of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and noted that this martial arts novel will have a prequel and a sequel, please wait patiently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This gives readers who were originally dissatisfied with the ending more to look forward to.

At the end of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yu Jiaolong left the thief Luo Xiaohu and left the desert alone because of his family opinion.

This kind of martial arts novel with a non-happy ending is not very suitable for today's era, and there is generally no market for popular novels to write tragic stories, and most people like to watch the type of lovers who eventually become married.

It's just that none of the novels in the series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have happy endings.

For example, Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, the two obviously like each other, but they can't be together because of traditional morality, and the same goes for Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu.

The children of the rivers and lakes should be free and easy, happy and hateful, proud of the world, and not bound by worldly fame and fortune.

However, it is very tragic in this novel, the constant conflict between Jianghu culture and traditional culture, as well as aristocratic culture, puts moral shackles on the heroes.

To put it bluntly, this novel is a bit sadistic, not decisive enough, not happy enough.

This is the reason why Wang Dulu is known as a master of tragic martial arts novels.

Lin Zixuan didn't have the idea of changing the ending in order to cater to the preferences of magazine readers, so it's good, he will start writing the story of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian knowing each other in the next part.

At the same time, preparations are underway for the publication of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is expected to be released nationwide in September.

During this time, Lin Zixuan didn't arrange too many things for himself, and spent most of his time with Mu Shanshan.

That is, writing manuscripts at home, chatting with Mu Shanshan, occasionally going around the company, or having a dinner or something.

It's also easy, he used to have to do everything by himself, but now someone has done it for him, and he can't let the people in the company be idle, otherwise he will get his salary in vain.

Just like the script of the TV series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Lin Zixuan was handed over to someone in the company to be responsible for creation.

He is ready to invest 1 million to shoot a 15-episode TV series, and try the audience's reaction first, now the domestic TV drama market is the world of jokes about historical dramas and urban emotional dramas, and martial arts dramas belong to the niche.

Zhang Guoli has become completely popular with his jokes about historical dramas, and has filmed a lot of such dramas in the past two years.

However, he is a little distressed now, because the role has been stereotyped, and it is not easy to transform, and the audience doesn't buy it.

He has become a professional who plays the emperor, although he can gain fame and fortune, but for an actor, this is not a good thing, especially Zhang Guoli still wants to make movies.

The audience will associate any role he plays with the emperor, and the drama will be instantaneous.

"Xiaolin, do you have any roles here, let me slow down, as long as I don't play the emperor. Zhang Guoli demanded.

"Brother Zhang, I have a book of martial arts dramas, wait for the book to come out and you can take a look, you can pick it, and we will play whichever role you like. Lin Zixuan said righteously.

"Okay, this time I'll pick a personality and have a good time. Zhang Guoli said happily.

It's not that Zhang Guoli really can't find a role to play, and now there are more private film and television companies looking for him to act, but the scripts are uneven, don't look at the high salary, but filming such a TV series ruins his reputation.

He is not short of money, so there is no need to take on this kind of drama.

He trusts Lin Zixuan's script, and it doesn't matter if he plays the protagonist or not, the main thing is to get rid of the name of the emperor's professional household.

"Brother Zhang, do you know who among the directors is good at making martial arts dramas?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"It's really rare for us to shoot martial arts dramas in the mainland, but I think of someone who is very interested in martial arts novels. Zhang Guoli recalled, "It is a director of Huaguo TV, named Zhang Jizhong." ”

"I've got it in mind, so I'll wait for the script to come out. Lin Zixuan said.

This is indeed a problem, there are very few directors who shoot martial arts dramas in China, and he can't get a director from Xiangjiang, the cost is too high, so he should rest assured with his own people.

Anyway, it will take time to prepare, so don't be in a hurry.

There is good news from Jiang Wen's side, and Huaying Company finally has a plan to screen "Sunny Days" nationwide.

This is also thanks to Hollywood blockbusters, due to the box office impact of Hollywood blockbusters, the plight of domestic films is more and more revealed.

In this case, if you want to boost the morale of domestic films, you must release a domestic film that can sell well.

Although "Sunny Days" is a co-production, it is a film made by domestic filmmakers after all, and it has also won awards at foreign film festivals, with guaranteed quality and publicity gimmicks.

Of course, due to the sensitivity of the subject matter of this film, China Film Company is quite cautious in distribution.

They decided to hold a round of small-scale screenings in major cities across the country first, and if the audience responded well after watching it, and there was no such strong criticism in society, it would be screened in major theaters across the country.

The release date of the film is set for September 1, and the premiere will be held in Shanghai.

This kind of small-scale screening is not at the same time, but one city after another, and after Shanghai, Beijing and other places.

Jiang Wen was very happy about this, and he was ready to take Xia Yu and Ning Jing and other actors to Shanghai to do promotional activities.

One is that the movie I made by myself is finally going to meet the domestic audience, and it has taken more than two years from the preparation for filming to the release in theaters, which is really not easy.

"Sunny Days" has long been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the box office is quite good.

The second point is that after the domestic box office of the movie is a big hit, he can get a share of the account, and he will have the funds to continue making movies, which is the main reason why he works hard to promote.

Jiang Wen has not been idle these days, and after opening his own film company, he is thinking about making the next movie.

He got two books and showed them to Lin Zixuan, one is the script about traitors, and the other is about feeding pigs, saying that it is feeding pigs, but in fact, it is still about people, and there are metaphors in it.

Lin Zixuan is not optimistic about these two books, not that the story is not good, but that it can't be reviewed.

Sure enough, Jiang Wen was shot after handing over the script, saying that there was something wrong with the script's thinking.

Jiang Wen is hesitant to continue filming, French film dealers are very interested in this kind of controversial script, and are willing to fund him to make films, but in China, films that are shot privately without the approval of the General Administration are underground films.

Once such films are taken abroad to participate in film festivals, the director will be severely punished by the General Administration.

Jiang Wen's current state is very dangerous, one step forward will touch the bottom line of the General Bureau, he is thinking about whether I should try it, he has a spirit of adventure in his bones.

The release of "Sunny Days" distracted him, and he wanted Lin Zixuan to go to Shanghai with him to attend the premiere when the time came, but Lin Zixuan did not agree.

If it was okay in the capital, Mu Shanshan should have just given birth to a child at that time, so he wouldn't have time to run around. (To be continued.) )
