As someone who has witnessed the rise of adaptation of IP such as comics, Qiao Feng knows the importance of good IP better than anyone at this time.

In particular, comic book adaptations are arguably the most glorious film genre of the decade of the twenties of the twenty-first century.

The glorious decade of superhero movies started by Marvel can be said to have beaten all kinds of original movies to the ground.

At that time, more than ninety percent of the mainstream commercial films with big investment in the United States were not original, and they were all adaptations.

For Qiao Feng, the most popular martial arts in Chinese society, as well as the comics in Hong Kong at this time, are huge wealth.

Needless to say, martial arts, its value has long been proven by one TV series after another.

However, comics have not yet proven their derivative value in the film and television industry.

Even if there is ATV's 84-episode masterpiece "Drunken Boxing King Mowgli" adapted from the comic "Drunken Boxing". The series completely deviates from the original plot of Cheng Long's version of "Drunken Fist", and is based on Huang Yulang's comics, with Wang Wuji, Drunken Baby and Xian'er as the protagonists, creating an alternative, unique, and pleasing world of rivers and lakes.

Following the success of the first part, ATV launched "Drunken Boxing King Mowgli 2: The Emperor of the Moon Queen" in the same year, undertaking the first storyline and improving the martial arts scenes, so that the "Drunken Boxing King Mowgli" series has become a rare excellent drama series for ATV.

But the derivative value of comics is still not noticed.

Because in the film and television industry, even Marvel had an adaptation of Captain America as early as 1944, and then a movie adaptation of Marvel's superheroes appeared every few years after the sixties.

But in Hong Kong, except for such a TV series adapted from Drunken Fist, there are no film and television works adapted from comics.

What's more, there is also Huang Yulang's self-written and directed Dragon Tiger Gate movie Da Po Street in the late seventies.

makes people in the film and television industry stay away from such things as comic adaptations.

The film and television works that can be adapted in Hong Kong in this era are all from, among which Jin Yong and Gulong have the most works.

But Qiao Feng knows the adaptation value of comics, so how can he not grasp the big cake of comics in his hands.

As for whether many comics will have limitations, and when the special effects technology matures, it will become obsolete, and it will not be liked by the audience, etc., Qiao Feng has no worries at all.

Because Marvel has proved that even if it is Aquaman who appeared in three or more years, Captain America who appeared in four years, etc., as long as the adaptation is good, it will have vigorous vitality and huge commercial value in the future.

In the Hong Kong comics industry, the comic copyrights such as Dragon and Tiger Gate owned by Yulang International, as well as all the Chinese heroes and Fengyun comics owned by Ma Rongcheng, are the Marvel heroes of Hong Kong.

said that Ma Rongcheng's comics are a huge IP, I believe no one can object, the movie and TV series versions of the original time and space "Chinese Heroes" have been all the rage, and the film and TV series adapted from "Fengyun" have also achieved good results.

And the Dragon Tiger Gate is a little worse, but it's not bad in the story.The Dragon Tiger Gate is just that it's a fighting comic.,Compared with the more fantasy fairy tale point Fengyun and the more American heroic comic style Chinese heroes, there is a lot less impact on the picture.

But that's not a problem, as long as the adaptation is good, fighting comics like Dragon Tiger Gate can still be changed to the superheroes who can't be killed, just like Batman, one of the big three in DC.

Batman is not a superhero in the full sense of the word, he can't even compare to Iron Man, because Iron Man can at least fly in the sky with the help of equipment, but Batman can only rely on equipment to fight with people.

But Batman was not adapted by Christopher Nolan into the dark Batman trilogy, and later fought with Superman for 300 rounds, and the key Superman was killed.

Although Batman vs Superman is a bit rotten, it also proves that as long as the brain hole is big enough, there is nothing that cannot be made up.

A bit similar to Batman are Marvel's Captain America and Black Widow, they are all modified mutants, but they delay aging and enhance their physical fitness.

What is the difference between Dragon Tiger Gate, who has practiced kung fu and Captain America and Black Widow.

There is no difference.

When adapting, I tried my best to make it more powerful, and I just wanted to make it mysterious.

Therefore, in Qiao Feng's view, there is no good or bad comic, only whether it can be adapted well.

The reason why Hong Kong comics did not burst into such glory as American comics in the original time and space is largely because the creation of Hong Kong comics is different from that of Marvel in the United States, which is also the reason why Hong Kong movies are different from Hollywood.

Because Hong Kong is almost a small workshop producing comics, one person leads dozens of people to create, Shenzhen creates, and Hong Kong prints.

And Marvel is almost a complete industrial concept, every detail is embedded in the industrial program, and every hero can even be said to be an assembly line work in the era of big industry.

Just like Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong comics, there has been no large industrial industry for half a century, which has also caused the "Fengyun" series, even the "Chinese Heroes" series and the "Dragon Tiger Gate" series to have not completely changed into film works, which is also the reason why "Fengyun" did not become the "Harry Potter" of Hong Kong movies, so that the original time and space movies "Fengyun 1" and "Fengyun 2" are so long apart, and the production level is uneven.

And how to continue to make so many good comics into movies, how to develop more healthily after filming, and how to make movies such as "Fengyun" and Chinese Heroes into movies like "Harry Potter" series, Spider-Man series, and even the Avengers series, are problems that Qiao Feng and the comic industry and even the Hong Kong film industry need to think about and solve together.

There is no shortage of IP in Hong Kong, what is lacking is only how to integrate IP into the film-themed entertainment industry system.

From the upstream creation source of high-quality content IP with comics and other themes to the value realization of midstream film and television games, downstream derivative peripherals and other links, the development of copyright value is a top priority in Qiao Feng's future work and planning.

After decades of ups and downs, Hong Kong comics along the way are strikingly similar to the footprints of Hong Kong films along the way, always need a group of new wave promoters to stir up the market, always need a group of newcomers to break the deadlock of the existing art structure, always need an incomparably sincere courage to face the deadlock and confusion of the times, and always need a great helmsman to lead.

And Qiao Feng doesn't want to see Hong Kong movies, and Hollywood in the East can only have ten years of glory, so he wants to be the helmsman who leads the way of exploration for Hong Kong films in the fog of the road.
