In summer, he picked out the exciting clips from the two movies "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Invincible" and told them to Hu Jinquan.

For example, the Lin family's dyeing cloth workshop was surrounded, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were ordered to go to support the teacher, but because they lost the handwritten letter from Yue Buqun halfway, it led to a misunderstanding; for example, Ouyang Quan pretended to be Lin Pingzhi and sneaked into the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun had already known it, but he was still indifferent and intrigue; for example, Linghu Chong was determined to retreat to the world, but accidentally bumped into Dongfang Bubai, and the two fell in love with each other, etc.

The reason why I only choose the clips is mainly because the two stories in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" are full of mistakes and there is no way to complete the whole story.

For example, after Lin Zhennan stole the "Sunflower Book", why did he hide back to his hometown and was blocked directly at home? As the leader of the Jinyiwei, he should have known the Jinyiwei's skills, so he was so confused;

For example, "Sunflower Book" is a peerless magical skill, but Dongfang Bubai has completed his work after only one year of practice, which is really incredible; for example, the Sun and Moon God Sect said it was an organization of Miao people, but the top and bottom of the religion are all Han people, which is really strange;

There is also the court that has a very presence in the first part, but in the second part, it only has a soy sauce, which is really a bit too heavy...

The reason why there are so many loopholes in this series of movies is actually because of the different creative ideas of the two directors.

Hu Jinquan is good at making martial arts films with political themes. His "The Legend of the Goddess", "Longmen Inn", "The Storm of Yingchun Pavilion", etc., are about the events in the world, but in fact they alludes to the temple. The sudden appearance of Dongchang in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" is his work.

Xu Ke is good at filming the love of children in troubled times. His "Shanghai Night", "Heroic Reality 3: Song of the Sunset", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Green Snake", "Sword and Ma Dan" are all about this theme. In the second part, Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai fell in love, and it was a messy polyamorous love story, which was created by him.

Another point is that when filming the first part of "The Swordsman", no one considered the sequel and did not lay the foundation for the sequel. This made many abrupt plots appear during the shooting of the sequel.

For example, "The Book of Sunflower" suddenly fell into the hands of Dongfang Bubai; for example, the Sun and Moon God Sect was originally a private salt vendor, but suddenly they were going to dominate the world; for example, the Fusang ronin suddenly appeared in the second part; for example, Ren Yingying suddenly had an imprisoned father, etc.

Although these flaws are trivial and injustice, even if they exist, they cannot erase the excellence of these two movies. But Xia Tian knew that the details are devils, and a good movie should minimize the flaws in the plot, so that it can gain more audience love.

You should know that European and American audiences are very picky about movie stories. The big reason why they don’t like Hong Kong movies is that their stories lack logic and are rough in production. In order to avoid this, Hollywood film production has special script doctors reviewed and modified the scripts.

"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Invincible" will be imported into the United States in the future. Summer does not want to see these two movies fail, so he hopes that the script can be perfect.

...

After listening to the clips Xia Tian said, Hu Jinquan nodded frequently, thinking that these ideas he made were pretty good.

"Mr. Xia, you're telling these stories really well," he said with a smile, "but the difficulty is how to connect them."

"Director Hu is the key to the problem. To be honest, the upper and lower parts of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" are the two that make me most headache in the scripts I have written." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "On the one hand, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is a masterpiece. It is not easy to condense it into two movies at most three or four hours.

On the one hand, this masterpiece by Mr. Cha is widely circulated, and almost all Chinese in Southeast Asia have heard of this story. So if the adaptation cannot win the recognition of most audiences, then this movie will be a failure."

After hearing this, Hu Jinquan nodded. He has also been considering this issue these days.

There is this trouble when adapting classic works. Because the original works are there, they cannot be changed beyond recognition and a mess. In that case, they will offend fans of the original works. If they cannot gain their recognition, how could they buy it?

But if it is not adapted at all, it will be even more troublesome. "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is a novel with nearly 100 famous characters alone, and the story takes place in Fuzhou, Hengshan, Hengshan, Songshan, Huashan, Luoyang and other places. If it is filmed, it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, one must grasp a good degree, which can satisfy the original fans and the filming of the movie. But this is just the most basic requirement. The higher requirement is to adapt the original work and bring newness to people. Otherwise, just simply delete the story and put it on the screen, how can it attract the audience, let alone show your own abilities.

"Mr. Xia is right. It is indeed not easy to adapt a classic work, but I think it can be done with our intelligence." Hu Jinquan said with a smile, "I think it is not advisable to simply copy the original work, because everyone is too familiar with this story. If you just shoot it according to the original work, it will not be attractive enough to the audience.

My suggestion is to start a new story and write a new story with the characters in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". "The Smiling, Proud Wandererer" is actually a story about the power struggle. Although those people are heroes, they are actually political figures.

As long as we grasp this theme, rewrite the story, and then borrow the characters from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" to interpret it, I believe that it will not only satisfy the audience, but also show your strengths."

As a world-renowned director, he is certainly not satisfied with just a simple adaptation of the original novel. He hopes to recreate the title of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and new wine in old bottles.

When Xia Tian heard him say this, he thought of "The Dragon Search" in his previous life. This movie was adapted from the online novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light", but because the original work is widely circulated, everyone is too familiar with the story, and there is no new idea for reshoots. So the screenwriters finally abandoned the original work, selected only a few main characters, and then let them unfold a new story.

In this way, it not only avoids the possibility of finding faults and finding troubles by fans of the original work, but also allows viewers who have not read the original work to watch the movie without any obstacles.

The adaptation of "The Swordsman" today is somewhat similar to "The Swordsman" in his previous life. They are both well-known works, and they are also well-known works, and have been adapted before. Therefore, according to the practice of "The Swordsman" , adapting "The Swordsman" is a way of thinking.

"Will Hu Jinquan do this in the previous life version? So he drew a lot of the original plot and joined new forces such as the court, Dongchang, Miao people?" Xia Tian thought again, "It's a pity that many of the scenes he shot were finally deleted by Xu Ke. Otherwise, I really want to see what Hu Jinquan's old bottle of new wine and made the new "Swordsman" look like."
