At the same time as the script of "Seraph" was created, there were several other scripts that came out together, such as "Mr. Zombie" directed by Lin Zhengying, "The True Color of Heroes" by John Woo who worked hard for two years and worked hard for two years, Yuan Biao, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan teamed up for the first time to "Plan A" and then tossed out a "Five Lucky Stars", and Xinyicheng regained "Best Partner"

With the exception of "Seraph", these scripts are all classics of the early golden age of Hong Kong cinema, and Wang Xiaohu passed them all with a stroke of his pen, but he did not let John Woo direct "The True Color of Heroes" immediately, but called him into the office for a long talk. [No pop-up novel network]

What exactly is being talked about, no one knows except the person concerned, but when John Woo came out of the office of the president of Concord International, he had two scripts under his armpit, one of which was "The True Color of Heroes", which he completed after two years of painstaking work, and the other was "Seraph".

John Woo wants to shoot "Seraph"!

The news quickly spread within Concordia, everyone knew that this drama was an international action blockbuster, and the market positioning was Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and North America.

According to the company's management department's cost plan for "Seraph", Concordia International will invest at least $10 million in the film.

Originally, everyone thought that this big production would definitely have Brother Hu personally directing the microphone, after all, "Mulan" directed by Brother Tiger had just swept the global box office, and both the directing experience and box office guarantee were second to none.

But the result was for John Woo to direct, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Concordia didn't do anything else all afternoon, they were all talking about the ownership of "Seraph".

"Ah Qun, I heard that no, Brother Tiger handed over "Seraph" to Ah John to be responsible."

"Hey, don't mention it, this is a script carefully created by our screenwriting department according to Brother Tiger's outline, I didn't expect it to be cheaper for him, Brother Nan was depressed for a long time after hearing it, let's all go to K song tonight to vent."

"Do you think Brother Tiger is in a daze, such an important book was actually taken for him."

Ah Qun shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "Who said no, even if Brother Tiger doesn't go out in person, the seniority and seniority should be handed over to Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung or Jackie Chan, when will it be his turn!" ”

Needless to say, Yuan Heping served as an assistant director in "Mythology", a martial arts instructor in "Shaolin Temple", and an assistant director in "Mulan".

Sammo Hung is not bad, he is the executive director in "Myth", and he is the boss of Debao Film Company, he has developed steadily in the Hong Kong film industry in the past few years, and several small finished films have a good box office, and not long ago "Plan A" with Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao was directly in the top three positions in the box office list. If Yuan Heping is too busy, Sammo Hung should be the second candidate.

Why give it to John Woo? I really don't understand.

You must know that John Woo has not had any works for several years after coming to Concord International Corporation, and it took more than two years to write a script!

Can such a director direct the international blockbuster "Seraph" competently?

"Ah Qun, do you think it could be that Brother Hu has been cooperating with the mainland all these years and has been brainwashed by the People's Liberation Army on the mainland? He doesn't even take care of his own brothers, but gives the benefits to outsiders! ”

"Bite your mother, don't talk nonsense, if someone knows about it, don't want to mix up in the company!" Ah Qun looked around as he spoke, and when he saw that there was no one around, he pulled his friend out of the company.

In fact, there are not a few people who have thoughts such as Ah Qun, and for a while, various rumors spread within the company, and Wu Yusen was under considerable pressure.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu also heard these rumors, but he just smiled bitterly, and did not come forward to explain or stop it, since he handed over the script to Wu Yusen, he completely let go and did not interfere

In mid-October, after a month of post-correction and inspection, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which had been prepared for nine years and five months of filming, finally came to a successful end.

After Wang Xiaohu modified and processed the whole film, there are a total of 60 episodes, which is more than the previous life, and the extra episode is mainly reflected in Peach Blossom Island's learning of the Nine Yin True Scriptures, left and right fighting, and three-stage martial arts competition.

After the TV series was completed, Wang Xiaohu immediately invited Jin Yong to come and watch, after all, he was the original author, and he still had to listen to Jin Daxia's opinion before the TV series was officially broadcast.

Wutai Mountain, in the studio hall of Phoenix TV, Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Yazhi, Jin Yong, Yuan Heping and all the main creators of "Shooting the Condor" sat in a row, staring at a 14-inch color TV in front of them with wide eyes.

The first episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is being shown on the small fluorescent screen.

Regardless of the content of the feature film, the prologue of the opening alone, whether it is the majestic and chivalrous theme song "Iron Blood Pill Heart", has inspired Jin Yong, after all, this is the work he has been waiting for ten years, and this opening alone shows the biggest difference between Concord International and ATV and TVB.

Music, costumes, scenes, martial arts, actors, Chinese martial arts culture, etc. are vividly displayed in this prologue, so much so that Jin Yong applauded before the feature film began.

"Xiaohu, the two eagles were amazing at the beginning, your stunts were amazing!"

Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "That's not a stunt, it's a living eagle!" ”

"Eagle? How can it be! Jin Yong's eyes widened, with incredulity in his eyes.

"Mr. Cha, those eagles were borrowed from us on the mainland to shoot." Yuan Heping said: "Our company's special effects can't make lifelike computer pictures yet, so when Brother Hu was in Yanjing, he asked his friends over there to find a few talented people who boiled eagles, and it took several days to pick them out." ”

Boil the eagle!

Jin Yong grew his mouth, but he knew that it was not easy to boil eagles, this thing was very wild, if there was no super perseverance and patience, there was really no way to make them obey, and it definitely took a lot of effort to raise eagles with such a physique.

"Xiaohu, I'm bothering you!" Jin Yong was moved, imagine who would prepare so carefully for one or two prop eagles, the earliest selection of actors has made Jin Yong very satisfied, especially the appearance of Huang Rong made him feel very content after waiting for nine years.

"Lao Dou, whether it is the title of the book or the title of the TV series, doesn't it all reflect the heroes, heroes, and knights of the time through a few eagles, if you use props, it doesn't seem very sincere, and it will make the audience feel that we are not serious."

Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, in fact, the current technology of industrial light and magic can also simulate the carving, but it still looks a little wooden, not as good as the aura of the living goshawk.

Anyway, Jin Yong is so moved now, he is also making his own martial arts films, and only Wang Xiaohu can do his best, he sighed, and sighed in his heart: I didn't recognize this contract in vain, it's worth it!

After the feature film began, everyone in the studio hall stopped talking and watched the TV series attentively, the exotic desert style, the real and non-exaggerated martial arts action, and the actors who devoted themselves to the performance, making people feel like they were in the world of martial arts dreams.

Although Wang Xiaohu watched the 83 version of "Shooting the Condor" several times in his previous life, it was the first time to sit with Jin Yong and the main actors to enjoy it like now, and after years of careful preparation by him, there have been enough changes compared to the original version.

To be precise, it is a qualitative leap on the basis of the original!

That's right, this is the true portrayal of Wang Xiaohu at this time, he can pat his chest and say proudly like the whole world: There will be no classics after this version.

Just like "Jingwumen" directed by him, a collection of several major versions, coupled with Bruce Lee's wonderful performance, even Wang Xiaohu himself can't create a sequel or prequel to "Jingwumen" or the like.

This feeling is very wonderful, all the actors are original, but the costumes, props, sets, and martial arts actions have been newly processed and improved, so that the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" he sees is completely two concepts.

After the end of the first episode, Jin Yong stood up and walked to the middle of the studio hall, first arched his hand and kept saying thank you, and suddenly bent down in front of everyone and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Old Bean, aren't you tormenting us?" Wang Xiaohu jumped up and was embarrassed.

"Yes, yes." Jin Yong clasped his hands together, and his excited face was full of smiles: "Without everyone's help, my novel would not have been able to be moved to the screen. ”

Compared with the excited Jin Yong, Yuan Heping, Weng Meiling, Huang Yuehua, Miao Qiaowei and others are even more excited, you must know that Jin Yong's bow shows that he recognizes this TV series very much!

can be recognized by the author, this TV series is already half of the success, and the other half depends on whether the audience agrees.

"Lao Dou, let's take a look at the other episodes, especially the appearance of Huang Rong played by Ah Weng." Wang Xiaohu proposed, and Jin Yong readily agreed.

When our Rong'er appeared, she was an inconspicuous little beggar, wearing tattered yellow and brown clothes, black middle clothes, black shoes, and a light brown tattered hat, and her face was deliberately dirty, but she was also elf and eccentric, and she called herself "Young Master Ben".

Such a naughty appearance is the original record of Jin Yong's pen, that outfit, those playful words, and Weng Meiling's vivid performance, Huang Rong's screen image came alive all of a sudden, and Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but applaud when he watched it, not to mention Jin Yong.

"Tortoiseshell hidden!" Jin Yong praised!

The "hawksbill turtle" is an animal in the sea with a yellowish-brown carapace with black spots. Although the color is not bright, it is precious and is often used as an ornament.

In this scene, it tells everyone that the little beggar is not so unbearable in front of him, but a priceless treasure under the ragged clothes!
