Chapter 633: Martial Arts Novel Preparations
The outline of "Journey to the West: Demon Subjugation" was soon written by Stephen Zhao, and then sent to the screenwriting studio for them to improve.
Of course, if you want to shoot "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", you will have to wait until at least next year, and this time Stephen Zhao does not plan to let Zhou Xingxing take the lead.
The male protagonist in "Demon Suppression" is "Xuanzang", and the other supporting actors are "Monkey King", "Pig Gangguan", "Fake Taoist", "Sand Monk" and so on. With Zhou Xingxing's nonsensical style, if he wants to participate in "Demon Suppression", there is no role suitable for him at all, because these roles are not nonsensical roles.
In his previous life, the role of "Xuanzang" was played by Wen Zhang, although his character was not very frustrated, his acting skills were still okay, but he was not funny.
For Stephen Zhao, after filming the Journey to the West two-part series, Zhou Xingxing's value is not as important as before, so Stephen Zhao arranged for someone from the screenwriting studio to design some nonsensical comedy scripts for Zhou Xingxing.
Stephen Zhao can make nonsensical comedies such as "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Da Nei Secret Agent", "Domestic Lingling Paint", "Tricky Expert", "God of Food", "White Bread and Blue Sky" and so on, but Stephen Zhao thought about it, it didn't make much sense, he couldn't improve his fame, and the money he made was just a number, so he gave up.
On the contrary, it is more worthwhile to let the screenwriter studio find a way to do nonsensical comedy on its own, but it can train a team to come out!
The two-part "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is a classic nonsensical comedy.
"My admiration for you is really like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control!"
"The name of his martial arts, called it the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Bodhisattva shook his head and was afraid, and the thunderbolt golden light thunderbolt palm! With one palm, within a radius of 100 miles, no matter people and animals, shrimps, crabs, and fleas, all of them turned into ashes! ”
"The eldest husband said everything. It's hard to chase any horses. ”
"Ao Shaobao, the emperor often crosses your great achievements, with a graceful demeanor and charm......"
"I still have one night to practice, so it's not a life of death? No, if you see it, you'll die. If you don't look at it, you'll die! ”
……
N many classic lines make people laugh, and the lack of these two is really a pity for Stephen Zhao.
However, if you want to make the two-part "The Legend of Deer and Ding", the original novel has to be made, which is very unhappy for Stephen Zhao. For the Qing dynasty, he can't have a good impression at all. The so-called prosperous era is nothing but the prosperous age of ignorance and sweet potatoes, and everyone is an ignorant and insensitive slave!
It's just that the novel "The Story of Deer and Ding" is all about beautifying the Qing court!
In the present era of national unity. This novel is of course politically correct, but for Stephen Zhao, this is bullshit, a nihilistic concept.
The so-called nihilism is to look at the policies of a dynasty, not from the perspective of that dynasty, but from a modern point of view.
Isn't it ridiculous to evaluate the ancients from the point of view of modern people?
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, they engaged in national oppression, foolishness, and terror. On the contrary, for the sake of national unity, they have to talk about other things and cover them up. Or even the other way around, what is this not nihilism?
A lie is always a lie, even if you make all kinds of excuses, but when the people grow up and are armed with knowledge, they can still see through it. Until that time. It's useless to say anything you want to say!
Of course, it's actually no problem not to write the original novel and only make movies, but it will be nondescript. so that the audience can't understand.
Zhao Xingchi pondered: "Is it to replace the world background in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and replace it with other dynasties?" ”
Soon, Stephen Zhao vetoed it himself.
Stephen Zhao thought that starting from "Dragon Babu", all the way down, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", and "Smiling Proud Jianghu", there are obviously two axes in it. One axis is the timeline, "Dragon Babu" is the Northern Song Dynasty, followed by the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, and time is all the way down, getting closer and closer to modern times; One is the axis of martial arts, "Tianlong Babu" has hundreds of internal forces at every turn, and there are a bunch of divine skills, but the further down, the less divine skills there are, and in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this kind of kung fu can be called "Zixia Divine Skill"!
The Huashan faction was founded by Hao Datong, and Zixia Gong is his kung fu, but Hao Datong's kung fu in the Quanzhen Seven Sons is not top-notch, and in the background of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he is just a second-rate master, and he can't stop Yang Guo's three moves and two styles.
It can be clearly seen that the further down the timeline, the lower the martial arts person's force value.
The force value in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is the lowest, and a person like Wei Xiaobao who has not learned any kung fu can crisscross the rivers and lakes. In this way, the time background can only be the Ming Dynasty downward.
The dynasties from the Ming Dynasty onwards are only the Qing Dynasty!
If the Qing Dynasty were to be replaced by another dynasty, which one would be replaced?
No matter which one it is replaced, the force value can only be higher than that of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". In this way, many of the storylines in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" cannot be established.
In this way, it can only be a pity.
I'm going to retire, but I still have to write novels, especially the martial arts novels that are the most popular among fans.
Stephen Zhao thought about it for a long time, and decided to write the martial arts novels of the two great gods, Gu Long and Huang Yi.
Jin Yong's novels mainly include "Flying Snow Shoots White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book Heroes Lean on Bi Yuan", which are "Flying Fox Biography", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", "Liancheng Jue", "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "White Horse Howling West Wind", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Book of Swords and Enmity", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Knight's Journey", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", "The Blue Blood Sword", and "The Mandarin Duck Knife".
Stephen Zhao wrote a total of five films: "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", and "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
After thinking about it, Stephen Zhao didn't plan to write out the other nine parts.
The reason for not writing "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was just said, and the reason for not writing the three parts of "Flying Fox Gaiden", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and "Book of Swords and Enmity" is the same.
"Mandarin Duck Knife" and "White Horse Whistling West Wind" are not famous, and the quality is not very good, so Stephen Zhao has not seen it, so naturally there is no way to talk about writing.
The three parts of "Liancheng Jue", "Chivalrous Journey", and "Blue Blood Sword" are famous, and Stephen Zhao has also seen them. And I've read it no less than five times, but his evaluation of these three novels is not high, it's far worse than the Condor Trilogy, and he feels that it's not interesting to write it, so he gave up writing.
In the martial arts novel world in the previous life, except for Jin Yong. Zhao Xingchi is familiar with the ancient dragon god and Huang Yi god. Since Jin Yong's works are not written, then only these two can be written.
The work of the ancient dragon god, Zhao Xingchi wrote the first part of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" before, but he didn't write it later. It's not because the quality of the works is not good, but in Stephen Zhao's mind, these works are not as good as Jin Yong's works, so he is too lazy to write. It's actually quite good to pick it up now and write it out as an increase to your own work library.
"Xiao Li Flying Knife" can be there, but Stephen Zhao hasn't seen it. So I can't write it.
In addition to "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", the rest is "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", these two novels have been adapted many times, and they have been made into a series of TV series, and Stephen Zhao has seen one of these versions.
As for Huang Yi, although his works are rarely adapted into TV series, Stephen Zhao can write it because he has either read the original novel. Or have watched the TV series adaptation. Of course, not all of the works he had seen. He has only watched "Xun Qin", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Turning Clouds and Rain", and "Legend of the Border Wilderness"!
Huang Yi's book is very salty and wet, and it can even be said that it is "too H", I don't know if it is because of the cultural environment or what the reason, anyway, when Zhao Xingchi read it, he felt very good at first, but after reading it a few times, he felt very speechless. Because these H parts actually have nothing to do with the plot at all, there is no need to write about it at all.
The three novels "Turning Clouds and Rain", "Legend of the Border Wilderness", and "Looking for Qin", Stephen Zhao has read the original works, so he is very impressed by this.
In the part "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Stephen Zhao has only watched TV series. But guess can also guess that there are a lot of Hs in it.
"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has the original novel, and Stephen Zhao can rent it to the pirated version when he is studying, but it is really too long, so long that Stephen Zhao is not in the mood to read it.
Internet writers write novels, and readers are most afraid of him eunuchs!
However, some online writers write novels, and he can force readers to become eunuchs, because it is really too long!
Zhao Xingchi read many such online novels in his previous life, and forced him to become a eunuch. I started reading an online novel in college, but after five or six years in society, I looked back and saw that the novel was still serialized......
But now that I think about it, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is actually the first novel that forced Zhao Xingchi to become a eunuch.
"Even if "Looking for Qin" is over, it doesn't change history after passing through, it's too wasteful, and writing it is to find scolding. It's better to write the three books of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Turning the Clouds and Rain" and "The Legend of the Border Wilderness". Stephen Zhao finally decided.
Although he has only read half of the original work, he has watched two versions of the TV series and countless Datang fanfiction, and Stephen Zhao can still write it. Strong memory, after so many years of study, Stephen Zhao doesn't dare to say how good his writing is, but it is enough to be called a "great writer"!
"Between Huaishui and Surabaya, there is a large area of abandoned land that stretches for hundreds of miles, is full of ruined and abandoned villages, like a ghost domain: the Han people in the south call it 'border wasteland', and the Hu people in the north regard it as 'Outuo'. Although the name is different, it is certainly the most unique place in the world today: because it is not only a place where good people have a foot, but also a paradise for those who lick their blood; Full of dangers, but also full of opportunities; It can be a place for heroes and heroes to die without a place to be buried, and it is also a stage for those who are not afraid of death to become famous. It is also seen by various regimes as an ideal place for secret diplomacy, and as a safe haven for the landless. At this moment, it may be a peach blossom paradise in troubled times, and the next moment it will become a Shura hell. There is no place more terrifying than the wilderness, and at the same time so lovely. The frontier is set up by God for people with skills, and there is another set of philosophies and laws for survival there......"
Stephen Zhao wrote intermittently, and he didn't have the idea of releasing it, his plan was to write it now first, and then he couldn't post it after retirement.
Stephen Zhao's main energy is still on the preparation of the TV series "Romance of the Gods". (To be continued......)
