It is said that Chen Xiaotang refused to play the role of "Zhang Wuji" on the spot, which couldn't help but surprise Shao Daheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Shao Tycoon is still Shao Tycoon after all. The surprise on his face flashed, and he immediately smiled kindly: "I don't understand this, many people in this drama can't ask to be the leading actor, but why do you refuse?" ”

At this moment, it is not only Shao Daheng himself, it is estimated that anyone who hears it will feel very curious.

"Because I think that the remake of Jin Yong's martial arts drama doesn't seem to have much value"

Chen Xiaotang's words are undoubtedly thunderous, you must know that Jin Yong's dramas are the most popular recently, not to mention anything else, just your Chen Xiaotang's "Shooting the Condor" is enough to prove the charm of the remake, but now you say that it is not of much value, isn't this full of nonsense?

But without waiting for Shao Tycoon to get mad, Chen Xiaotang smiled again: "Sixth uncle, don't get me wrong, my so-called value does not mean that the ratings are not high, but that there is not much profit." ”

Shao Daheng still didn't understand, but he couldn't say, I don't understand what you mean, please say it carefully, but made a kind of calmness that knew Yu Xiong, took a sip of tea, and waited for Chen Xiaotang's next words.

Chen Xiaotang continued: "Take the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" that we remade last year, I also joined this drama, the highest ratings reached 36 points, and the funds invested in filming were about 2 million, which is equivalent to the production cost of a low-cost film

How much the company earns, this has always been a matter that high-level people will worry about, at this moment Chen Xiaotang only relied on his own speculation, but he also guessed correctly.

Shao Daheng nodded secretly. But he said, "Since you say that, do you have any other ideas?" ”

Shao Daheng's "shameless questioning" did not move Chen Xiaotang, on the contrary, Chen Xiaotang realized that he seemed to be a little "overstepping", after all, you are just an actor. As long as you play your own play, it's good, but here Rory sighs about the company's profits, whether the company is profitable or not, it doesn't matter to you? As long as you get paid, it's OK.

However, Chen Xiaotang did not stop immediately, but said with a smile: "In my opinion, it is not impossible to remake this masterpiece of Mr. Jin Yong." However, the remake should be done in a different way."

Shao Daheng didn't expect him to be so bold, not only did he not close his mouth, but he also climbed up the pole even more, and he couldn't help but be interested. I really want to know what Chen Xiaotang is selling.

"Then how are you going to remake this movie?" Shao Daheng felt that his tone was enough "Corporal Lixian", but he didn't know if the young man in front of him could move him.

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "Don't make TV series, make movies!" ”

This time it was Shao Daheng's turn to laugh, he originally thought that Chen Xiaotang had any high opinions. But it turned out that I wanted to take the movie route, young man. was still a little too impetuous, so he said, "Ah Tang." You may not know that the movie version of "Yitian" has been produced three times, of which in seven or eight years, our Shaw Brothers Company has filmed two episodes of the movie, starring the movie Hong Xiaosheng Er Dongsheng at that time. The box office revenue is still considerable, but it has been criticized by some audiences because some of them are inconsistent with the original book...... "That means obviously, Shaw Brothers will never remake this drama again." Otherwise, you're scolding yourself.

But Chen Xiaotang knew that in his previous life, Shaw Brothers filmed a biography movie of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" this year, that is, in 83 years, called "Demon Temple Slaying the Dragon".

However, in fact, "Demon Temple Dragon Slayer" is almost just the name of the characters, the tricks of martial arts and the Dragon Slayer of the Heavenly Sword are still related to the original work, and the rest of the parts are completely out of bounds. Now it seems that some of the spoofs have even gone too far. But more than 20 years ago, filmmakers could have such imagination, and the most amazing thing was that they could link martial arts and science fiction, which was really imaginative. From an innovative point of view, the film is still very desirable.

The film's starring cast is another highlight. Er Dongsheng, Di Long, Wan Ziliang, Zhong Chuhong, Liu Xuehua are the five leading actors, as well as the old drama Gu Feng and Yuan Hua and Xu Jinjiang, who were not very famous at the time. Yuan Hua also served as the martial arts instructor for the film. However, compared to the martial arts part, the explosion scenes and pillars of light in this film are used more. Er Dongsheng and Di Long are both Shaw Brothers stars, but when the two cooperate in costume films, they generally have priority and secondary, such as "The Sword of the Third Young Master" starring Er Dongsheng, Di Long is a friendly cameo, and Di Long starring in "Chu Liuxiang", Er Dongsheng is a cameo. But in "Demon Temple and Dragon Slayer", the roles of the two are basically the same, and they can be regarded as co-starring. Er Dongsheng still plays Zhang Wuji, and Di Long plays the derivative Méng ancient general Tie Zhen. The big villain they want to deal with is Song Qingshu played by Wan Ziliang.

I can't remember whether Song Qingshu died in the end in the original book, anyway, in "Demon Temple Slaying Dragon", he not only lived well, but also knew how to disguise, and what was even more ruthless was that he also learned the "Jiuyin True Scripture" and "Jiuyang True Scripture" respectively, and came to be a hermaphrodite, and finally deceived the "Heavenly Sword" and "Dragon Slayer Knife", which was really fully armed. Such a person is almost impossible for Er Dongsheng and Di Long to kill. So the director made a big secret room on a whim, which looked like an alien spaceship, which not only taught Er Dongsheng and Di Long how to defeat the Yinyang people, but also made Wan Ziliang die here in the end.

Compared with the three major male protagonists, Zhong Chuhong's horn sè is definitely a big vase, she plays the ancient princess of Méng, who seems to have a crush on Zhang Wuji, but it does not unfold. And Liu Xuehua plays Zhou Zhiruo, who has already cut her hair and become a nun, and was beaten to death by her ex-husband Song Qingshu at the beginning. Liu Xuehua showed off her skills a few times, but her appearance was too bad, and she could be called the most ugly Zhou Zhiruo in history.

Because this drama tampered with the content of "Yitian" too much, it can be said to be a "super spoof", so that after the release, those audiences besieged the Shaw Brothers company to 'get a justice", so that a Shao tycoon couldn't even return to the company.

However, Chen Xiaotang didn't plan to shoot this drama according to it, isn't it looking for death, he smiled and said to Shao Daheng: "In my opinion, the movie version of "Yitian" has not understood the essence of the original book at all, so the filming is not a classic, it is not a classic, how can it make money? ”

This passage is a bit of a shame. Hearing this, Shao Tycoon was a little embarrassed, what do you mean, there is no classic in the movie version of "Yitian"? Doesn't that mean that our Shaw Brothers version is also rubbish?! Although I said a little humbly about the Shaw Brothers version just now, I was slightly criticized, but you guy also needs to step on it so hard.

At this moment, Shao Daheng did not laugh angrily, and said: "Oh, according to what you mean, what kind of version is considered a classic?" ”

Chen Xiaotang waited for his words, so he said: "If you are willing to listen to Uncle Six, I am willing to talk about the idea of this play."

At this moment, Shao Daheng remembered that the young man in front of him seemed to be able to write scripts in addition to being an actor, and the wireless popular "Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang" was not written by him?

Do you really underestimate him?!

Thinking like this in his heart, he said: "Let's talk about it, is it really interesting...... This is already very face-saving for Chen Xiaotang, you must know that there are almost no people who can talk to Shao Daheng for so long and let him sit and listen to the story.

Chen Xiaotang didn't seem to feel that he was being taken care of at all, and he began to slowly tell the new story of "Yitian".

At the beginning, Shao Daheng just listened to it very casually, and he didn't think how good this story was, after all, everyone has seen "Yitian", how good can you adapt it? But gradually, Shao Daheng seems to have heard some different signs, first of all, I want to explain that in the original story, the actor Zhang Wuji's xing style is "indecisive" type, and the last dignified generation of Mingjiao leaders was deceived by Zhu Yuanzhang to take away the emperor's throne, which makes many readers feel angry. felt that Zhang Wuji had a lot of magical skills, but he couldn't rule the world, which was very unhappy.

But this time in Chen Xiaotang's story, Zhang Wuji's corner sè has become a "careerist" with a deep city, first using deception to learn "Jiuyang Divine Skill" from the fire foreman Tuo, and then using great benevolence and righteousness to gain the respect of the people of the Ming Sect, in order to avenge the blood and the sea of revenge, but also endure humiliation and bear the burden of Dayuan as an enemy.......

The more Shao Daheng listened, the more interesting he felt, and the more he listened to it, the more he felt that this story was different, until Chen Xiaotang finished speaking the outline of the story, Shao Daheng couldn't help but ask: "This story is very good, is it still "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?" ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly and said, "No, it's the Demon Sect Leader of Heaven and Dragon Slayer!" ”

"Demon Cult Master"?!

Shao Tycoon was stunned.

Of course, Shao Daheng didn't know the origin of this play, and in his previous life, the great director Wang Jing invited Li Lianjie, Hong Jinbao and other big names to jointly create this magnificent martial arts movie.

After the release of this film, many reviews criticized Wang Jing as the director and screenwriter of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" for being too spoof and too far away from the original work. But in Chen Xiaotang's opinion, among all the film and television works adapted from this martial arts novel, Wang Jing's "spoof" is really the best, and Wang Jing really understands Jin Yong.

###

Personally, I feel that "The Demon Sect Leader of the Heavenly Heaven" is a super classic martial arts film, but unfortunately the martial arts film market was weak at that time, the box office of this drama was not good, and the sequel was stillborn before it came out, which is inevitably a little suffocating. If it is placed in the golden age of martial arts in the 80s, it will definitely become a classic film only personal opinion.!.
