"The Sun and the Moon in the Sky", the opening work of Huang Yisheng's Tang trilogy...

From the perspective of planning, the Tang Dynasty trilogy is a masterpiece that integrates the entire Huang Yi martial arts world view into one masterpiece on the historical line of Huang Yi, inheriting "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "Legend of the Frontier Wilderness", and "Broken Void" and "Raining and Cloudy".

It will show Huang Yi's unique broken worldview more completely, that is, the Yang Wuji and the Yin Wuji collide with each other to reproduce the process of Sanhe.

Huang Yi has extraordinary insights into Taoist cultivation, complete and rich.

Merely...

The first "Sun and Moon in the Sky" tastes like chewing wax.

In fact, the beginning is very good, as a sequel to "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Sun and Moon in the Sky" uses a new character as the entry point: Dragon Eagle.

Long Ying's personality is a bit of a mixture of Xiang Shaolong and Han Bai, becoming the Demon Gate Evil Emperor, but encountering a pressure whirlpool.

Wu Cao, who was born in the Demon Gate and is the female disciple of the Witch Wanwan, has become the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and wants to uproot the Demon Gate. For a time, many forces intertwined, and all directions met through wind and rain, creating a fierce and attractive suspense of conflict.

At that time, this "Sun and Moon in the Sky" chose to be serialized on the Internet, and immediately attracted countless attention.

Many Internet gods have rewarded and supported Huang Yi, and the comment area is unprecedented.

However, not long after the update, the popularity dropped sharply, and there were very few netizens who were willing to support the subscription with real money, and the results were embarrassing.

Let's talk about the second part of the Tang Dynasty trilogy, "Dragon Battles in the Wild".

Continuing the story of "The Sun and the Moon in the Sky", writing about court battles, writing about alien ambitions, writing about the genealogy of the immortal sect, the origin of the demonic way, and exhaustively studying the ultimate in martial arts.

The background of the story is placed in the period of Zhongzong's Hui Dynasty, and the fate of Long Ying has also undergone ups and downs...

Finally, there is the unfinished "Bright Ring of Heaven and Earth".

The background changed again, and the court fell into the hands of Empress Wei and Wu Sansi, gradually transitioning to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The mysterious Northern Gang Heavenly Abyss came up from the rivers and lakes, defeated the Yellow River Gang and the Luoyang Gang, and their power was strong, making the Zhuhua Gang in the south of the Yangtze River precarious.

At this time, the protagonist Long Ying crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, circling the government and the opposition, dangerous and wonderful everywhere.

It's a pity that with Huang Yi's death, "Heaven and Earth Ring" is completely over, and the story stops at the three words "Chapter 2" written by Huang Yi at the end.

The story is left blank in the most exciting places, which is exactly "the bright ring of heaven and earth is a perfect sound, and the world does not see the dragon and eagle flying." ”

In fact, Huang Yi is better at short novellas, such as "Erg Linguo", "Broken Void", "Dragon God", which are very imaginative and personal, and the shorter long stories "The Legend of the Great Sword Master" and "Interstellar Prodigal" are not bad...

pulled back, Shen Xudong continued: "It is indeed difficult to dig out new things in martial arts movies, the main reason is aesthetic fatigue, because the plot routine of martial arts films is too familiar to people, and it is difficult to attract people in the plot... This is normal, westerns used to be the absolute mainstream of American cinema, and in recent years they have been rare..."

Xu Haofeng answered: "Last year, a friend of mine got the adaptation rights of "September Eagle Flying" and wanted to adapt... ”

"Of course!" Shen Xudong nodded: "Gu Long's work, "September Eagle Flying" may not be very popular, but its status is not low, it is the sequel to "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", which belongs to the second part of the "Border City Prodigal Son" series and the third part of the "Xiao Li Flying Knife" series..."

"Yes, my friend wants to make a post-apocalyptic martial arts, a different kind of black martial arts... But I couldn't find an investment..."

Shen Xudong smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, your friend obviously doesn't understand genre films, genre films, you just have to make the unique attraction of genre films, in order to have a market, if you just want to tell a story in the coat of ancient costumes, there is no market, no matter how wonderful your story is, the martial arts effect you present is not good, it is not a qualified martial arts film!" ”

After a pause, Shen Xudong then added: "Thrillers, police films, science fiction films, all countries have them, and martial arts films are only available in China!"

Why does the audience want to watch a martial arts film, it can only be because martial arts films give things that other types of films can't give, so what things can't be given by other types of films but martial arts films can't give, that is, the martial arts world presented by the film, your martial arts world can't get the audience's like, why should he watch martial arts movies, martial arts films are not costume films, it's not a martial arts film to find a story with an ancient background! ”

……

Martial arts movies are really not easy to make...

I remember that Er Dongsheng drummed up a "Sword of the Third Young Master", but the essence is all in the preview...

But not without good works.

"Thousands of Miles Without Staying" and "No One in My Eyes" are all okay.

"No One in My Eyes" has Xie Miao, so the attention is quite high, and the attention of "Thousands of Miles Without Staying" is much worse.

Actually, "A Thousand Miles Without Staying" is not bad, the shell of a western film, the expression of a martial arts film.

Actually, martial arts movies are very chicken.

There are so many classic works of predecessors, and it is not easy to shine if it is done well, but it is easy to attract scolding if it is not done well.

After "The Sword of the Third Young Master", there are almost no pure martial arts films on the market!

Wang Jing drummed up two "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and chose to broadcast it online, Donnie Yen did the same, and "The Legend of Qiao Feng" also chose to broadcast it online.

I'm really worried that Xu Ke's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" also chose to be webcast...

Shen Xudong will definitely continue to do martial arts!

The martial arts movies he understands are the popcorn movies in Chinese movies.

Martial arts, popcorn is definitely number one...

In the past, we called martial arts films martial arts films!

You can add the factor of family and country, but when we watch "Huang Feihong", what we are most looking forward to is actually Foshan Shadowless Feet, Master Huang's own noble sentiments of worrying about the country and the people are certainly worthy of admiration, but if there is no Shadowless Feet, who cares about this thing?

Let's go back to the basics and talk about the big things...

What is the most important thing about popcorn?

Refreshing!

Therefore, "The Empress's Martial Arts Strategy" is very popular...

……

At the end of the film festival, Shen Xudong returned to the capital.

Attention has been refocused on the film market...

Oh, "Transformers 4" was released, the box office broke 200 million on the first day, 230 million the next day, and 210 million on the third day, and the record created by "Sunshine Fierce" was refreshed again...

Not only that, after the release of "Transformers 4", there were only 6.5% of the films scheduled for "Sunny Fierce", and there were only 3,000 shows a day...

Again, before Marvel, "Transformers" was the hegemon of the Chinese market.

Shen Xudong looked at the latest week's box office report, and "Leaving Song", which was released at the same time as "Metamorphosis 4", had a good box office, winning 97 million in the first weekend...

Chen Xi sighed: "I really didn't expect that under the pressure of "King Kong 4 in Disguise", "Leaving Song" could still have such a performance! ”

“… There is a gap in box office dominance..."

"We didn't invest in the ticket compensation for "Leaving the Song", it was all smashed by Maoyan himself..."

Shen Xudong: "It's understandable to compete for market share..."

"Taopiao Piao bet on "Old Boy: The Raptors Crossing the River" and "Beijing No. 81"..."

Shen Xudong smiled and mocked: "... Ahri's vision is so small, so rich, why not guarantee "Transformers 4"? ”

Chen Xi was surprised and asked rhetorically: "Guaranteed Hollywood movies?" ”

“… Isn't it possible? ”
