Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As soon as the news spread that Cheng Xiong was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the most exciting thing was what the script would be like this time.  () Mak Sing-hung is a gold medal screenwriter in Hong Kong. The scripts he writes are all high-level works. Many people only go to the cinema after seeing Mak Sing-hung¡¯s scripts. The script is already an important representative of Mak Sing-hung, so this  This time everyone was interested in how Mak Sing-hsiung would adapt the script. You must know that Mak Sing-hsiung's adaptations are very skillful, and "The Deer and the Cauldron" is the best example.

    "Ah? Ah Xiong, you said this time the script completely follows the original work? No big changes are made?" After Wu Yusen heard Mai Chengxiong's words, he felt very shocked. This was too inconsistent with Mai Chengxiong's words.  style, and he hoped that Mak Cheng-hsiung could write a script by himself.

    There are many versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" series. Counting those from later generations, Mak Cheng-hsiung believes that no matter what aspects, the adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the best. Of course, there are also shortcomings, and that is the scene arrangement.  It's too simple and too rough.  This is also due to the geographical restrictions of Hong Kong.  But even after being able to find real mountains and rivers in the mainland for filming, the director, actors, and even the entire crew couldn't capture the martial arts feeling.  No matter how much money he spends on filming.  Or if you use more stars and fail to capture the theme, it will be a failure from the beginning. Even if the filming is successful, it will not become a classic, so you have to shoot martial arts TV series and movies.  You must first have a martial arts heart.

    When it comes to Hong Kong martial arts, the most famous director is Xu Ke. It¡¯s a pity that he and Mr. Jin had a falling out last time. Otherwise, why would Mak Cheng-hsiung ask him to direct this time? Even so, Mak Shing-hsiung also wants to work with him.  After some discussion, without his martial arts ideas, this TV series would be difficult to surpass.

    Another aspect of the success of "The Condor" is that the director followed the original work and made no unauthorized changes. Therefore, after everyone watched it, the response was very good, and Mak Cheng-hsiung naturally stopped adding any unnecessary extraneous information.

    When reducing the script, Mak Cheng-hsiung directly found Xu Ke. Even though this old weirdo Xu couldn't participate in the filming, he still needed to come out when writing the script.

    When Xu Ke saw that it was Jin Yong, his expression became a little bad, but this time it was Mai Chengxiong who came forward, so he had to endure it. It is estimated that if it had been someone else, he would have become angry.

    Both of them know Jin Yong¡¯s Shan theory very well.  Therefore, when reducing the script, it went very smoothly. Mak Cheng-hsiung had The Legend of the Condor Heroes as a reference, and Xu Ke had his own martial arts ideas.  Combined together, a condensed TV series script was quickly released, and the final script was initially scheduled for twenty-five episodes.

    As soon as the script was released, Mak Cheng-hsiung quickly took it to Wireless and asked them to take a look. This time, Wang Tianlin came directly to review it. He admired Mak Cheng-hsiung's talent very much, so this time he volunteered and was able to witness Mak's script with his own eyes.  Cheng Xiong's script can be considered a little selfish.

    "Well, this is the introduction. The script is generally very good. It follows the original work and there are not many changes. However, Ah Xiong, are you going to shoot like this this time? Is this the final script?" Wang Tianlin also knew about Mai Chengxiong.  In particular, his son Wang Jing has a very high opinion of Mak Sing-hsiung. Wang Jing believes that when it comes to commercial directors in Hong Kong, no one can surpass Mak Sing-hsiung, so his hopes for Mak Sing-hsiung are also very high.

    Mak Chengxiong chuckled softly, and said frankly to Wang Tianlin: "Uncle Wang, in fact, this shooting, I am highly suspected of seeking fame and reputation. The reason why I used the original work is because of Jin Lao's book. In Hong Kong, it is too  It¡¯s so popular that almost all Hong Kong people have read the original work. And it¡¯s all because of you, Uncle Wang. ¡°The Legend of the Condor Heroes¡± is the sequel to ¡°The Legend of the Condor Heroes¡± and your filming of ¡°The Legend of the Condor Heroes¡± was so successful.  , if I use the original crew to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at this time, it will be twice the result with half the effort. After Wang Tianlin heard this, he immediately laughed heartily. As expected, Mak Chengxiong confessed that he did not expect it to be so straightforward from his mouth. He said  That's right. In this case, there are two prerequisites. As long as Mak Chengxiong can grasp the rhythm, this TV series will be considered a success.

    Fang Yihua was frowning at this time.  Because Mak Sing-hsiung's script is different from other people's scripts, many people in Hong Kong still follow the original habit, that is, the screenwriter writes and the director shoots, so there is a lot of change, but Mak Sing-hsiung directly  The script comes out.  Fang Yihua said: "Ah Xiong, since Director Wang said so about this script, there must be no problem. However, I still have an idea that this drama is too short. Generally speaking, Jin Yong's dramas, especially "Shooting"  "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" both have great stories. Even if they shoot forty or fifty episodes, there will be no problem. Can they be added a little bit more?"

    This is very abnormal. When filming TV series for TVB, they are always screened while filming.In this way, the audience's response can be known. If the audience's screening is good, the producer will decide to shoot more episodes.  Of course, if the response is mediocre or bad, shooting may be stopped directly.

    ¡° Mak Sing-hsiung hasn¡¯t started filming this time, and Fang Yihua already thinks it¡¯s too late. You know, it¡¯s an anecdote that Mak Sing-hsiung is filming a TV series.  Hong Kong viewers don't know how much they are paying attention to this matter now. As long as the filming is passable, the ratings will not be low. Therefore, the longer the series that Mak Cheng-hsiung shoots, the more profitable it will be for TVB.  ()

    Wang Tianlin even said with a smile: "I think this thing is feasible. There are many plots in the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". If all of them were filmed, the 10,000 episodes would definitely not be enough. Why not add more appropriately?"  It¡¯s better to put together a collection of blades. I believe this won¡¯t be a problem for our gold medal screenwriter.¡±

    Mak Sing-hsiung is different from others. If it were another director, TVB would have the power of life and death.  But when we arrived at Mak Cheng-hsiung's place, in order not to make the matter a stalemate, everyone talked in a negotiation tone. It is estimated that this is the only one that can bargain with me in this way.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung thought about it and realized that this script was actually a completely condensed script. He had deleted almost all irrelevant plots, and in the end it would only be 10,000 episodes. Since everyone had spoken, Mak Cheng-hsiung would naturally not insist on it.  He nodded in agreement.

    When Jin Yong saw Mak Chengxiong¡¯s script.  The smile on his face became even bigger. Following the original work is a sign of respect for the author. For example, Xu Ke made him very angry. Mak Chengxiong actually followed the original work completely this time. There was not much change. Xiao Jinyong was naturally very happy, even if  The copyright was only sold for one yuan, but it was worth it.

    "Mai's "Xiangli" has a quick mind. He is very good at figuring out people's hearts. If he were to be compared with my "Eight Things", he would definitely not be Wei Xiaobao.  Instead, it was Yang Guo. Take this script for example. Everyone was waiting to see how Mak Cheng-hsiung would adapt it, but Mak Cheng-hsiung went against the norm and kept it unchanged, which achieved the greatest effect.  Just like Yang Guo's right and wrong.  "

    This comment was made by Jin Lao in a TVB program. It is obvious that Jin Yong has a deeper impression of Mai Chengxiong this time. He spared no effort to help Mai Chengxiong promote it. Wang Tianlin is also the one who agrees with him the most.

    In this scene, Mai Chengxiong suddenly fell into a deadlock. It was obvious that two people had set a trap for him, and he was led into it by the nose.  He didn't even have the ability to resist.

    Ask why?  After the show was broadcast, all the viewers believed that Mak Cheng-hsiung's image was very suitable for playing the role of Yang Guo, so Mak Cheng-hsiung had not yet decided on the role.  This male protagonist has been blamed by everyone. After all, it was Jin Yong's words that hurt him.

    The problem of casting is actually a simple matter. Many of the characters are from the original cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Guo Jing is of course none other than Huang Rihua.  There is also no change in the old naughty boy, but many new characters have appeared, and everyone needs to choose from them.

    But who would have thought that there would be no unexpected problems at first, but this time it caused Mak Chengxiong a headache. Wang Tongxian was the first to challenge him, clamoring to play a role. Mak Chengxiong was filming a drama for the first time, and Wang Tongxian  She has never filmed a TV series, so she will naturally not give up this opportunity. It stands to reason that she should be happy to have the most popular actress in Hong Kong join Mak Sing-hung. There are also many female characters in The Condor, so you can just find any actor.  As long as she is competent, and it can also make her addicted to acting, why not do it.  But it was a headache when it came to supporting roles. Xiao Wang Xiangxian was much taller than other actresses. This gave Mak Cheng-hsiung a headache. When choosing a role as a director, you have to take all aspects into consideration.

    "I don't care about my surname. Look at my brother. I want to help him, but he still doesn't appreciate it." Wang Tongxian has a killer copper.  That was Weng Meiling, who found her directly.

    Good guy, I actually found Weng Meiling. Mai Chengxiong suddenly had an idea and wanted to deal with this ungrateful sister. Suddenly he came up with a very good idea, that is, not only let her participate in the filming, but also let her be the protagonist. Wang  After putting on ancient costumes, Ke Xian can be regarded as one of the top beauties in Hong Kong, and her temperament is also light and refined.  So Mak Cheng Hsiung had the idea of ??wanting Wang Tongxian to play the Dragon Girl.

    After trying it on, other people were full of praise.  Wang Tongxian was originally the youngest actor in DreamWorks, and everyone had to give her priority. After changing into ancient costume this time, she became even more charming, with very smart eyes. She was the best candidate. Mak Chengxiong also gave up the idea of ??using Chen Yulian. Since  If you want to take pictures.  Then just get rid of the shadow of the God-Bowing Eagle.

    There is another actor that no one expected. Mak Sung-hsiung actually invited Brigitte Lin to film this time.After coming to Hong Kong, Brigitte Lin stopped accepting TV dramas. This time, Mak Seng-hsiung was too proud and invited Brigitte Lin to play the role of Li Mochou in the film. When Brigitte Lin learned that she was playing the big devil, she  Many people complained about Mak Cheng-hsiung.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung simply went all out and invited everyone he knew. Whether they were celebrities or crew members, everyone had a role to appear in his own drama. Even Cheng Long was not spared.  , Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Xiao Zhourun, Zhou Xingchi and others all participated in the filming this time. Because they had their own schedules, they were just here to support Mak Sing-hsiung. There were no character actors, so they came to play small roles for him.  .  After the news came out, the audience was as excited as chicken blood. Regardless of the drama filmed by Mak Sung-hsiung, this TV series is simply a movie star's tea, and just watching the face is enough.

    After TVB learned the news.  I immediately changed the original topic and started preparing to interview the cast of this filming. I invited some well-known actors and stars to come to support this TV series.

    Wu Yusen, Liu Weiqiang and Lin Lingdong came to the studio of TVB. This time they were invited to participate in the interview with the Condor Shooting crew. The three of them are the three most popular directors in Hong Kong recently, and they are all  Dreamworks director.  In this shooting, all three of them had.

    "We all know that Ah Qiang and Lin Lingdong are the two most popular new directors in Hong Kong recently. Let's not even mention Wu Yusen. After the two films of "A Better Tomorrow" were screened, it is estimated that no one in Hong Kong does not know Wu Yusen.  It's a great director, by the way. I also heard that you will also be participating in the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this time, can you introduce it to me?" The host quickly turned to the topic.

    Wu Yusen smiled shyly, stroked his glasses again, smiled and said to the camera: "Everyone is too polite. In fact, this time we are just enjoying the drama. I think people who have this idea must  There are a lot of people in Hong Kong who want to appear in Mak Sing-hsiung's works, and we are just the ones who are closest to the water."

    This is Liu Weiqiang.  Shi continued: "Yes. And I heard that Brother Xiong's crew this time has a strong lineup, and we are nothing at all. I heard that many stars in the film industry will participate in the filming this time, even Cheng Long  , Li Lianjie and others will all appear in the series, which is really exciting."

    This time, the audience in Hong Kong was excited.  Regardless of what is being filmed in this series, the star cast alone is already irresistible, and there are also many movie stars appearing. This gimmick is really too big.

    At this time, Fortnightly also released a piece of news, further confirming Mak Sing-hsiung's popularity. According to this newspaper, the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that everyone is most concerned about now, so far, Mak Sing-hsiung has hired more than 30 people.  movie stars participated.  These stars are all big stars that everyone has heard of, and their net worth exceeds one million. A rough estimate is that the appearance fee of these stars alone has reached 10,000 yuan, which is also measured according to the standards of filming movies.

    This figure almost scared TVB. This Mak Cheng-hsiung is really wealthy. I didn¡¯t expect that he would dare to come up with such a lineup.  This is not filming a TV series, she is simply a star Fencui.
