Chapter 454 Looking back and smiling? No need to wait any longer!

Hongkong.

Even though that time is approaching, many people are feeling anxious.

But there are no obvious changes in this city. In fact, the economy is still on the upswing.

All in all, prosperity seems to have been unaffected.

Fatty Wang sees this very clearly.

He has been scolded by many people, which are very unpleasant words that are simply unpleasant to hear. However, Fatty Wang always just smiles at these things.

Angry?

Of course I'm angry.

Who wouldn't be angry?

However, if you are more angry, if you think about it carefully, it will all be over.

Anyway, these scoldings had no impact on him.

It didn't make him less money, and even after the movie was made, many people still went to see it.

Of course, not all of his movies make money.

Some movies are really not that good.

There is really no way around this, it's like the boss Long Wu always gives him some very extreme conditions.

"The Trickster" plus Dehua and Ah Sing, just like that, let him come up with a movie in 15 days.

One can only imagine what kind of films can be produced under such conditions.

But fortunately, that movie did really well at the box office, and many people bought it.

Maybe it will become a classic in the future.

But some movies are really a pity.

Fatty Wang has always felt that his understanding of the novel "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" is pretty good.

Although this guy is fat, wretched, and looks like a salty guy, he is still the top scholar in liberal arts at that time.

It's not nonsense, it does have certain strength.

In Hong Kong, Master Jin's works are quite impressive.

Of course, when it comes to film and television adaptations, especially movies, Master Jin’s works are not as good as Mr. Gu Long’s.

In fact, this is probably because Master Jin’s books are more suitable for TV series, while Mr. Gu Long is more suitable for movies.

Especially the four great actors in Hong Kong martial arts movies. They all liked Gu Long's novels more, and they changed them more.

These four commanders are Hu Jinquan, Zhang Che, Li Hanxiang, and Chu Yuan.

Especially Chu Yuan, he has adapted many of Mr. Gu Long's films, and his unique style... If Chu Yuan shoots an outdoor scene one day, it will be a news event.

It is indeed quite rare to capture the artistic conception in Gu Long's novel under the condition that the scenes are basically interior scenes.

Moreover, Chu Yuan shoots a lot, and his production speed is similar to that of TV series.

However, Fatty Wang really felt... a little reluctant about the movie "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Leader of the Demon Sect".

Originally this was a very strong masterpiece.

Just look at the cast of this movie, can it be bad?

Lian Jie, Zhang Min, Dou Dou, Gigi Gigi... right, not to mention Jin Bao and others, this lineup is really strong.

Moreover, as far as the script is concerned, it was also polished by him, Fatty Wang, with great care.

In fact, as far as the novel "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying" is concerned, there is a version in the serialization period.

It is different from the current novels, at least those who read the serialization back then would feel this way.

It's like the logic of some people's behavior can be explained.

For example, Zhou Zhiruo.

In the serialized version of Zhou Zhiruo, she was originally set to be the daughter of Zhou Ziwang. When Zhou Ziwang rebelled, he once proclaimed himself emperor, so Zhou Zhiruo was originally a princess.

Her subsequent actions had this aspect in mind.

Also, Zhang Wuji originally had a very strong desire for revenge, but the Zhang Wuji in this serialized version has a stronger sense of separation from the previous Zhang Wuji.

That is to say, later on I suddenly felt more chivalrous and no longer had the previous desire to avenge my parents.

So, Fatty Wang photographed Zhang Wuji as he originally was, full of hatred.

Let's put it this way, he finished the filming himself and he felt very strongly about it.

Moreover, in terms of the production of this movie, a lot of investment was actually made, and the overall picture is much better than before.

this……

It should be said that in the past two years, "The Swordsman: The Invincible" brought martial arts movies to a peak.

Really, this movie caused quite a stir.

The direct result is that many big bosses from Hong Kong and Taiwan have once again flocked to the field of martial arts movies.

In fact, from a movie perspective, martial arts movies have long been in decline.

If it weren't for Xu's "The Invincible", then martial arts movies would probably have become unpopular in Hong Kong.

And how influential is this movie?

Fatty Wang knows it very well. If nothing else, just look at Qingxia's appearance now.

Her costume films in recent years are basically all in the style of oriental leaders.

In addition, Lian Jie became more popular because of this movie, and even his company started to rise.

Originally, this was a good trend, and it would be good for me to take the opportunity to shoot such a movie "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Sword".

As a result, the box office was completely destroyed.

It's really unimaginable.

To be honest, Fatty Wang still doesn't understand why his movie failed.

It shouldn’t be!

It’s really inappropriate!

But reality is reality, and failure is failure.

Boss Long Wu has made it very clear that there will be no sequel to this movie.

On the one hand, if you want to maintain the original cast lineup, the investment would be too great.

On the other hand, Hong Kong movies are in decline, and it is difficult to find a subject matter that can gross a lot of money at the box office.

Martial arts has declined, what else is there?

Even though Ah Xing had previously filmed the movie "Westward Journey", people were disappointed after this movie was released.

Of course, this was a big disappointment in terms of box office, but Fatty Wang thought this movie was quite good and very creative.

Alas, a long sigh.

What the fat man didn't expect was that he actually received a call from his boss.

"Fat Boy, I have a new mission for you."

"Boss, please tell me."

"Give me a script for the sequel to "The Demon Cult Master"."

"ah?"

"What? Don't you want to take a picture of this?"

"Think about it, think about it, of course I do. So if the boss invests this time..."

"What do you want to say?... Haha, don't worry. Since it's a sequel, of course we have to keep the original cast. In short, you just need to write it well. However, there should be no third part, you understand?

"

"Thank you boss!"

After Fatty Wang heard the news, he felt that his whole person was different and he was in high spirits.

…

In fact, when it came to making a sequel to "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Takeshi Iwata did it easily.

Overall, this film has quite a lot of potential, and there is another key point in it.

Takeshi Iwata is very clear about the current situation of martial arts movies in Hong Kong.

The film "Invincible East" is really a peak, it can also be said to be a shot of stimulant.
