Everyone knows that Nanmu Video asked Dayu Games to buy the copyright of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and they all know that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is going to be remade.
But for a long time, everyone thought that what was going to be filmed was a TV series.
Because I have already filmed a TV series of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" before, the audience has a preconceived idea that Nanmu Video is also a TV series to be remade.
As a result, Xu Nan suddenly posted on Weibo.
The movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been established!
It was so sudden.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy movie?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to make a movie drama?"
"I don't know, but now that Xu Nandu has posted on Weibo, it means that the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" must have begun, otherwise he wouldn't have said that."
"It's all over."
"It's so sudden, not mentally prepared at all."
At first, the audience felt that it was sudden, but after reacting, the mood quickly turned to excitement.
The remake of the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a little reluctant in everyone's hearts, but when it is made into a movie, it is different.
"I'll be honest, I've always been looking forward to the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."
"That's right, the TV series is heavy on the plot, the movie is heavy on the picture, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is actually very suitable for making a movie, whether it is Fairy Island, or the Lock Demon Tower, and the last Lunatic Cult, these special locations, watching on the big screen, must not feel the same as watching on a TV."
"I've always felt that this game is suitable for adaptation into a movie, and adapting it into a TV series is putting the cart before the horse."
"I'm curious how Xu Nan will shoot."
"I believe in Xu Nan's directing skills, and I should not disappoint everyone."
Netizens are looking forward to it.
Remakes of TV series, everyone is worried that it will ruin the classics, but it's no problem to make movies.
Because "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has no movie at all, everyone is not worried about ruining the classics, but expects Xu Nan to make a classic for them and have a visual feast.
Who hasn't watched the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" TV series, and who hasn't played the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
And when playing games and watching TV series, who hasn't imagined the scenery inside.
Of course, because Xu Nan is a great director, the audience's trust in him is relatively high.
Otherwise, if you change to an ordinary director, the audience will still worry about ruining the classics.
Xu Nan's fan base.
Someone forwarded Xu Nan's Weibo to the group.
"Xu Nan is going to make a movie about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."
"Didn't you say that you were preparing "Electric Mother"? , how did it suddenly become "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". β
"To be honest, "Electric Mother" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", I am looking forward to "Electric Mother" even more."
"No matter what movie it is, I will watch it, this is the consciousness of being a fan."
"Actually, what I like more is "Captain China", as well as "Area 51" and "Titanic 2", which are the movies I really like."
"Don't dream, Xu Nan has been whitewashed, and it is impossible to make a bad movie."
"That's right, making that kind of movie, the controversy is too big, it's easy to destroy Xu Nan, he finally relied on two high-scoring movies to clear his name, and it's impossible to turn back."
"I understand the reason, but it's still a little regrettable."
Fans are talking more about Xu Nan.
But insiders are talking about the type of movie and the impact of this incident.
"Have you heard that Xu Nan is going to make a movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"
"Heard it."
"In fact, the national-level IP of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" itself is very suitable for adaptation into a movie, because there is a large number of audiences in nature."
"That's right, the game is successful, the TV series is also a big success, and it is normal to adapt it into a movie, and it is not normal if it is not adapted into a movie."
"But after so much time, only Xu Nan said that he wanted to make a movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."
"Isn't it because Xianxia movies are too unpopular?"
Someone spoke up for everyone.
Yes, the Xianxia movie is too unpopular.
To be precise, in the domestic market, there are no Xianxia movies at all.
Of course, those movies that sell dog meat on the head of sheep and are labeled as Xianxia are definitely not counted.
Many directors have made costume movies, martial arts movies, war movies, romance movies, and even science fiction movies.
But from beginning to end, no one thought about making a Xianxia movie.
The reason is simple.
At the beginning of the century, there was a big director surnamed Xu who spent a lot of money to shoot an adapted Xianxia movie.
That one is also very famous, and it is also a national-level IP.
Director Xu also has strong shooting skills, ranking first in China.
The Xianxia movies he made were beautiful, and the audience said that his Xianxia movies made real fairy spirit.
Then this Xianxia movie hit the streets.
National-level IP.
Top director.
The movie quality is also top-notch.
The audience who watched it said yes.
But the movie still loses, which can be called a blood loss.
It was because of this bloody precedent that no one dared to invest in the filming of Xianxia movies later.
People are top in all aspects, and even word of mouth is the top, but this is still a failure, who else dares to try.
Capital is profit-seeking and naturally risk-averse.
And without capital investment, naturally no one will shoot Xianxia movies.
Over time, Xianxia movies have become a completely unpopular genre, and they have not appeared for more than ten years.
Xu Nan was the first person in the circle to eat crabs.
"Can "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" succeed?"
"If Xu Nan made other types of movies, I believe he would definitely be able to make money, but Xianxia movies."
"It's hard to say, it's really hard to say."
"I believe in Xu Nan's shooting skills, but the problem is that Xianxia movies may lose money if they are filmed."
"If you don't say it's unpopular, it's mainly that this type of movie has never had a precedent for success."
"That's not necessarily, Xu Nan filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time, I think there is a great hope of success."
There is a well-known person in the circle who seriously analyzed it.
"Everyone thinks that the Xianxia movie is unpopular, just because the Xianxia movie "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" at the beginning of the century lost too badly."
"And "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is not a loss because of poor quality, in fact, this movie is very good in terms of quality and reputation, but it is still a loss, so many people think that the Xianxia movie cannot be successful."
"But we have to look at the problem dialectically, at the beginning of the century, the domestic film market was very narrow, and the highest-grossing movies were only two or three hundred million box office."
"Now the domestic market is ten times larger than that time, and the highest box office of the movie is close to 3 billion. It can be said that the market of the domestic film market has reached the point where it can accept a big-budget Xianxia movie. β
"And the most important thing in Xianxia movies is special effects, but Xu Nan is a director who is very good at using special effects."
"So I think it is possible for Xu Nan to succeed in filming the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and everyone should not be in a hurry to pour cold water, Xu Nan's success is beneficial to domestic films."
There are quite a few who agree with this view.
"That's right, Xu Nan does have a chance to succeed in filming the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and everyone should not beat all Xianxia movies to death with a stick."
"In fact, Xu Nan's filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a good thing for domestic films, whether it is success or failure, everyone can learn a lesson."
"Personally, I still hope that he will succeed, so that there will be one more genre of domestic films in the future."
The discussion among the insiders was more enthusiastic.
Xianxia movies are indeed very unpopular, but Xu Nan's words still have a chance to succeed.
After all, he is a director, and he is good at special effects.
Only Xu Nan dared to shoot Xianxia movies.
Because he is the owner of a film and television company, he can come up with money himself, and other directors want to make this type of movie, and they have to find a way to convince capital.
But that's almost impossible.
If Xu Nan succeeds, other directors will not have to worry about not being able to convince capital when making Xianxia movies in the future.
So it's better to be able to succeed.
The news spread quickly.
Soon, the whole network knew that Xu Nan was going to make the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Most people just discuss.
But when someone heard the news, they quickly sniffed an opportunity.
"Concubine Fei, do you know that Xu Nan is going to make a movie version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"
"I heard that, what's wrong?"
Concubine Liu asked suspiciously.
Liu Yifei's agent Liu Lili showed an unfathomable smile.
"Don't you think it's a good opportunity?"
"What do you mean?" Concubine Liu's expression was confused.
Liu Lili was anxious: "Role, you can play the role of Zhao Ling'er." β
"Don't forget, you relied on the role of Zhao Linger to become popular at the beginning, and now that the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has started filming, who else is the role of Zhao Linger."
Concubine Liu Yi hesitated: "But I heard that Xianxia movies are very unpopular, and there is a high probability of failure, I play Zhao Ling'er, in case the movie hits the street, then I will not be affected." β
Liu Lili shook her head: "You have already hit the street several times in a row, even if you hit the street again, everyone will not be surprised." β
Concubine Liu: "."
You're really good at talking.
Liu Lili analyzed seriously: "Concubine, first of all, you have to have a correct attitude, although you are very famous, basically all the movies starring you are on the street, and the situation is already very dangerous." β
"Second, although the Xianxia movie is unpopular, Xu Nan is a big director and is good at special effects, and his "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" still has a probability of success."
"Third, you're like this, it's not certain whether others choose you or not, you're still picking and choosing here."
"I said concubine, be obedient, let's stop being tough, continue to be strong, and there will really be no such person in the entertainment industry."
Concubine Liu thought about it seriously, it seemed that this was really the case.
So, a new problem arises.
"How do you guarantee that I can get this role?"
Liu Lili smiled.
"Trust me."
