Chapter 234 Young Director
Before making this decision, Luoyang considered many works.
Because the impression of martial arts fans on him is at the level of "Seven Weapons". His unrestrained writing and unbridled imagination are the biggest signs of him as a famous martial arts master.
And if the style changes rashly, it will obviously not be good.
The writing style should preferably be consistent with the already released "Seven Weapons", so Luoyang's new work still favors Gu Long's works.
Gu Long's most famous novel can be described as a couplet——
Xiao Li's flying sword made a perfect sound, and Chu Liuxiang was nowhere to be seen in the world.
The legend continues with one finger of consonance, and Tie Zhongtang is especially present in the rivers and lakes.
Two characters and two unique skills appear in this couplet.
The first sentence talks about Li Xunhuan's Little Li Flying Sword, which is ranked third in Bai Xiaosheng's weapon list, and never fails!
The second sentence talks about the bandit commander Chu Liuxiang, an almost perfect protagonist, with the whole world blooming in front of his eyes.
The third line talks about Lu Xiaofeng, who has four eyebrows - he has no colorful phoenix and two flying wings, but he has a clear mind. Lu Xiaofeng's two special skills come from this line of poetry.
The last sentence talks about Tie Zhongtang, the first of the three young masters in Gu Long's works, Tie Zhongtang is a handsome boy and a hero.
This couplet contains a total of four books——
"The Passionate Swordsman's Ruthless Sword", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", and "The Legend of the Flag Hero", these four books can be regarded as the pinnacle of Gu Long's works. If Luoyang wanted to choose a new work, he would naturally choose among them.
Because among Gu Long's works, these four can be said to be able to steadily surpass "Seven Weapons".
"Sentimental Swordsman and Ruthless Sword" was the first to be passed by Luoyang.
The reason is very simple. "The Passionate Swordsman" is too sadistic. Li Xunhuan even packaged Lin Shiyin's entire family property and gave it to his eldest brother Long Xiaoyun for the so-called "loyalty".
Moreover, his wishful thinking did not make the girl happy, so it ended badly.
This is simply a masterful gifting complex. It makes readers as sad as the little dragon girl being defiled by Yin Zhiping in "The Condor". Even Luoyang, who has super high poison resistance, was poisoned. If it weren't for Li Xunhuan's own super high Due to his charisma, countless people may have given up reading books long ago.
So Luoyang didn't want to write such a story.
Although Li Xunhuan was often one of his favorite martial arts characters.
This is probably the depth of love and hatred. The scene of giving away the daughter was really painful in Luoyang's heart.
The second pass was "The Legend of the Banner Hero", because although this work is a classic, its popularity is undoubtedly compromised. Everyone knows Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, but some people have never heard of Zuo Zongtang.
In the end, I had to decide between "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng"——
Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang are really very similar. They are both popular with women, have the same martial arts skills and brilliant wits, but there are still some differences.
Chu Liuxiang is an idealist who believes that people are inherently good, so he often shows mercy to those who want to kill him.
Lu Xiaofeng, on the other hand, is a person who hates evil as much as he hates it. When faced with those who are really evil, he is extremely decisive and shows little mercy.
Luoyang finally chose "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" which is relatively more realistic.
This work may not be the best book written by Gu Long, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable for Luoyang at the moment.
If "Seven Weapons" focuses on writing about weapons and human nature, then "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" focuses more on writing about people themselves.
Lu Xiaofeng, who is still childlike, prodigal, and a happy hero, Hua Manlou, who loves life, has a beautiful personality and a perfect character, is an allegorical figure, white clothes are better than snow, and the sword god Ximen Chuixue is cold on the outside and warm on the inside... …
They respectively represent three different ideal symbols of ancient dragons.
Lu Xiaofeng represents the highest ideal of secular life, Huamanlou represents the perfect state of personality and morality, and Ximen Chuixue represents the highest pinnacle of art.
Gu Long used these three characters to place the ideals he pursued throughout his life, and at the same time enthusiastically praised the sublimity of art and the lovely side of human nature. Of course, there are many weird and wonderful characters in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", but the ones introduced earlier These three are just born with the attributes of being a fan.
————————
I was thinking randomly along the way, and in a blink of an eye I arrived at Tiandu Ocean Theater.
Tiandu Ocean Theater is a famous cinema in Tiandu, and many movie premieres will be held here.
When I walked to the door of the cinema, a special person had already come out to pick me up. He was a middle-aged man, slightly fat, and wearing a pair of golden eyes.
"Is this Teacher Luo?"
The fat man recognized Luoyang at a glance. Luoyang's face was still very recognizable. After all, the last time his identity was exposed, his photo had been widely circulated on Weibo for a long time.
"It's me, hello." Luoyang said with a smile.
"Hello, hello, I am Zhang Wenliang, the producer of "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years". Teacher Luo, please come in with me first." Zhang Wenliang said enthusiastically.
Luoyang nodded.
Long Wanchun waited in the car but did not follow.
As an assistant, Hua Qi was inseparable from Luoyang.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Mr. Luo for the script you provided. It is much better than what our original screenwriter wrote. It is indeed the original work and written by a master." Zhang Wenliang said with admiration on the way.
Luoyang smiled and said, "Because when I was writing "Those Years", this story had already formed a picture in my mind, so it was easy to write."
Of course it was easy, his script was equivalent to writing the movie version of his previous life, and it didn't take any effort at all.
"So, a master is a master. My daughter likes your work very much, Mr. Luo. Can you sign it for me later?" Zhang Wenliang flattered him lightly, and then asked with a smile.
"Producer Zhang, thank you for the compliment. Of course, there is no problem with signing." Luoyang also said with a smile.
Along the way, Luoyang also met many film critics and the like. They carried bags in their hands, and watching movies and writing film reviews was their job.
Anyway, the most common thing in a premiere is film critics. In addition, Luoyang also saw several stars who came to support the event. Although he couldn't name them, they were familiar.
Although Dadi Entertainment is not a big company, these people have to be invited anyway.
Besides, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" plus publicity expenses has invested 30 million.
When he walked into the backstage of the Ocean Theater, Luoyang met the crew of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".
"Hello, Mr. Luo."
Several young actors even greeted Luoyang on purpose. These young actors were all newcomers and still had a green look on their faces.
"Hello." Luoyang also responded with a smile.
In reality, his popularity is not that big, far less than Liu Qin.
After the young actors finished greeting, a young man in a suit stood up and smiled at Luoyang: "Hello, Mr. Luo, I am the director of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", Gong Xin."
"Hello." Luoyang smiled and shook hands with Gong Xin.
This was the first time he met the chief director of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". He didn't expect that he was such a young man, probably only four or five years older than himself.
Maybe it was because of preconceived notions, he always felt that directors were those with big beards and not young...
"I want to thank Mr. Luo for your script. The picture sense is great, and it was also very handy when shooting." Gong Xin said with a smile.
Gong Xin just received the script sent by Luoyang and fell in love with it at first sight.
And the script written by the screenwriter before Luoyang was simply unbearable to Gong Xin.
Luoyang smiled: "Hearing what you said, I am full of expectations for the movie version of "Those Years."
Producer Zhang Wenliang said at the right time: "Teacher Luo, our director Gong Xin is a filmmaker of art films and has won awards. It is a lucky thing for "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" to have him in charge. Moreover, he is as young as you, both are young talents. The cooperation between the two of you will definitely collide with wonderful sparks!"
"The audience's love is the greatest recognition of me." Gong Xin said modestly.
Hearing Zhang Wenliang's praise, Luoyang's heart moved, and he really became a little curious about the movie version of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".
