Lin Zixuan has just written an outline, including the background of the story and the relationship between the characters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jiang Wen lost interest when he looked at it, he felt that this was just a traditional martial arts story.

He is interested in subjects that have a sense of history, especially the difficult choices faced by characters in the grand historical context.

In his free time, he and Lin Zixuan discussed several shooting topics.

One of them is about a traitor, the traitor is called Wang Jingwei, Jiang Wen feels that this person's life is full of contradictions, and he can dig out a lot of things.

Lin Zixuan persuaded him that it was best not to move this kind of thought, it was thankless to shoot and easy to have problems.

People like them who come from academies always want to shoot sensitive subjects, make big news, and show their differences.

Lin Zixuan put away the manuscript paper and put it in the suitcase, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not in a hurry, it has to come step by step.

In Hollywood, a film company will go through thorough preparation to shoot a blockbuster film with an investment of more than 10 million dollars, preliminary market research, external financing to avoid risks, selection of directors and actors, and so on.

It's a complex process that can take several years to prepare.

For "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in Lin Zixuan's world, this is not just a movie, its source is five martial arts novels that implicate each other.

Including "Crane Shocking Kunlun", "Sword Golden Hairpin", "Sword Qi Pearl", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Iron Riding Silver Bottle".

Written by martial arts novelist Wang Dulu, these five novels tell the story of several generations of grievances, each with interconnected storylines and independent storylines.

Among them, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has the most characters, the most complex plot, and the most extensive and vivid social landscape.

The story is not the same as the movie.

In the novel, Yu Jiaolong, as the daughter of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, loves the thief Luo Xiaohu, but in order to maintain the official reputation of her father and brother, she has to marry Lu Junpei, the ugly Hanlin, and on the day of Yu and Lu's great joy, Luo Xiaohu got married, and Yu Jiaolong ran away.

She relied on the stolen Qingying Sword to run rampant in the rivers and lakes, and was subject to the female thief Geng Liuniang for stealing the "Jiuhua Secret Book", so she was besieged by Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and other chivalrous people.

Later, she learned that her mother was dead and her family was defeated, so she took the opportunity to jump off the cliff and met Luo Xiaohu after escaping.

However, due to the feudal concept of the family, he thought that the daughter of the Houmen could not commit to the bandits after all, so after a night of warmth, she still rode alone and went away to the desert.

It can be said that the protagonist of the novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is Jade Jiaolong.

She is the daughter of the Houmen who is rude and willful, and she is a heroine who dares to love and hate, and is full of pride.

She has a rebellious character that is competitive and competitive, and she does not admit defeat or believe in evil, so she dares to steal the sword and dare to challenge Yu Xiulian, but she can't break through the shackles of the traditional concept of famous religion, and she doesn't dare to "corrupt the style", so she can only leave with a broken heart.

If you look at the five novels together, it is a chivalrous story involving several generations of children and daughters.

"Crane Shocking Kunlun" tells the story of Li Mubai's master Jiang Xiaohe's growth and revenge.

"Sword and Golden Hairpin" and "Sword Qi Pearl" tell the love story of the chivalrous Li Mubai and the chivalrous girl Yu Xiulian.

"Iron Riding Silver Bottle" tells the story of Yu Jiaolong's son walking the rivers and lakes.

Lin Zixuan plans to write these five martial arts novels, which is to cultivate an audience base.

Generally speaking, readers who have read the original novels are more willing to go to the cinema to watch the movie, and if these five martial arts novels can be welcomed in China, the next thing is to adapt them into movie scripts.

When the novel has a certain influence, it will be much easier for him to find filming funds.

Otherwise, he only holds the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", others have never even heard this story, and I don't know what will happen when it is filmed, who is willing to take such a big risk.

As far as the audience is concerned, it is difficult to understand the relationship between the characters in the movie without the original novel.

It's just that the current martial arts film market is not sluggish, especially traditional martial arts.

This is also the reason why Jiang Wen is not interested, martial arts films have been made rotten by filmmakers in Xiangjiang, and now there are very few outstanding martial arts films in Xiangjiang, let alone original, and it is difficult to make new ideas.

Martial arts movies have gone through several stages in Xiangjiang.

At the beginning, it was a simple martial arts, talking about the grievances and hatreds of people in the martial arts, which can be called a traditional martial arts movie.

Later, there was modern martial arts, which changed from martial arts to martial arts, which were mainly fighting, and this type of martial arts movie was very popular in the United States, also known as kung fu movies.

The current Xiangjiang martial arts movies tend to break away from the category of traditional martial arts, add the feelings of family and country, and link the rise and fall of chivalry and the fate of the country, with a new development.

Although it is said that every Chinese has a chivalrous dream in their hearts, it has to be said that Xiangjiang's martial arts movies have entered a bottleneck.

The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" belongs to humanistic martial arts, or the world of martial arts in the minds of literati.

This martial arts world is not a happy enmity, nor is it a feeling of family and country, but the plight of the chivalrous man himself, which points directly to his heart.

The rebellious Yu Jiaolong has a difficult choice between ideals and reality, and the traditional Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian live for morality and the group, struggling between feelings and morality.

How to see through, what is the heart, moral dilemma and compassion, this is a little message conveyed by the movie.

Wang Dulu is known for writing tragic martial arts, he lives in the capital, and his writing naturally reveals a Beijing flavor, the language is simple, or rough, but there is a beauty of artistic conception.

He is not good at writing martial arts, and the most extreme martial arts in the novel is the point point.

There are no overly bizarre plots, no occult skills, not even various gangs in his books, and they look unremarkable.

The characters in the novel are not heroes who are dominant, but often sigh and are trapped in their own world.

Lin Zixuan knows that this kind of martial arts novel will not be as popular as Xiangjiang's happy and vengeful novels, which are sought after by young people, but it has more humanistic connotations, as long as you can read it, it will make people empathize.

Writing a novel is just the beginning of the whole plan, how to make the novel popular, how to adapt the movie, how to attract investment......

This is a rare experience, and if Lin Zixuan can complete this plan, then he will have a firm foothold in the film industry, and he will become an international producer.

This is the same as filming "Beijing People in New York", which is a challenge in his life.

The Venice Film Festival is coming to an end, Lin Zixuan and Jiang Wen attended the award ceremony, and the awards at European film festivals are very simple, not as fancy as the Oscars.

"Sunny Days" won the Best Actor Award, and Jiang Wen went up to accept the award on behalf of Xia Yu.

Due to the overwhelming response to the film in Venice, he is optimistic that it will win two or three awards.

He was full of hope to win another Best Director or Golden Lion Award, even if it was the Silver Lion Award and the Grand Jury Award, but unfortunately there was none in the end, which made him a little discouraged and felt not perfect.

But after returning to the hotel, Jiang Wen put it down, he has always been a person who can afford to put it down. (To be continued.) )
