In 1992, Xu Ke beat the public opinion and chose Lin Qingxia to play the undefeated in the East, Jin Yong was furious and warned Xu Ke: Don't touch my works in the future.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingxia's version of the East was undefeated and finally became a classic.
In 1991, Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong's Top Gun" earned nearly 30 million at the box office.
Xu Ke has always had a deep affection for martial arts, and one day, he saw Mr. Jin Yong's "Laughing Proud of the East Undefeated".
After watching it for a long time, he could not calm down, and was deeply attracted by Jin Yong's martial arts world.
Jin Yong achieved fame long ago.
In 1977, under the introduction of Huang Xia, Xu Ke met him.
Jin Yong was 53 years old and Xu Ke was only 27 years old, and the two became friends at first sight.
Xu Ke said to Jin Yong: "I want to make your novel into a movie to show the world of Chinese martial arts on the big screen so that the world can see it." ”《》
Jin Yong was very happy to hear this, and he asked Xu Ke: Which work do you want to shoot?
Xu Ke said: I want to make "Smiling Proud of the River", let Jet Li play Ling Huchong, and let Guan Zhilin play Ren Yingying.
Jin Yong smiled when he heard it: Jet Li is good, and his image and temperament are in line with the Ling Huchong in my mind.
As for the enamel beauty Guan Zhilin playing the role of Ren Yingying, Jin Yong was also very satisfied, after all, she was a generation of goddesses of that era.
Therefore, Jin Yong did not hesitate to sell the copyright to Xu Ke and sit at home waiting for the new film to be released.
However, to Jin Yong's surprise, Xu Ke made a drastic adaptation of the novel.
In the original work, the undefeated appearance of the East only occupies 4 pages.
However, Xu Ke let the screenwriter expand this character and write a special book, and even let this character and the protagonist make Fox Chong secretly have feelings.
For this role, Xu Ke is optimistic about Lin Qingxia.
First, the two of them have cooperated many times and are very tacit.
The second is that he has taken a fancy to Lin Qingxia's beauty and feels that Lin Tingxia's beauty can be extended, and it can be so good that playing a villain is also attractive.
Unexpectedly, his choice was strongly opposed by Jin Yong.
Jin Yong made a special phone call and said to Xu Ke: "I don't want Lin Qingxia to play Dongfang undefeated, you have made a wrong decision." ”
The reason why Jin Yong did not want Lin Qingxia to play Dongfang undefeated was because he felt that Lin Qingxia was too beautiful.
An actor who is too beautiful is difficult to perform the temperament of a hegemonic lord.
And Xu Ke, known as "Xu Laowei", did not give in in front of Mr. Jin Yong.
He insisted: "The oriental undefeated is Lin Qingxia's, she has a boyish atmosphere, as for the feeling of fierceness, you can make up for it with acting skills." ”
More than two hours passed, and neither Jin Yong nor Xu Ke gave in.
Old Master Jin Yong was a little angry, and he said harshly:
"We can be friends later, but we don't have to cooperate."
Xu Ke actually respects Jin Yong's opinion, but he prefers to follow his own routine, and he knows what kind of martial arts world the audience likes.
It turns out that Tsui Ke made the right choice.
The box office of "Smiling Pride 2: Undefeated in the East" has also soared, once ranking 8th in the annual box office list.
Lin Qingxia's career was also a mess, so that in later TV series and movies, The Oriental Undefeated almost appeared as a woman.
Xu Ke's version of the Oriental Undefeated has also become a classic, and many people forget that in the original work, the Oriental Undefeated is actually a man.
Let a non-male and female Oriental undefeated, and the male protagonist to talk about love, these two points make many Jin Yong fans unacceptable.
Of course, the most unacceptable is Jin Yong himself.
After the film came out, Jin Yong angrily rebuked: "I really saw the wrong person at the beginning, Xu Laowei didn't understand the core of this novel at all, and you don't want to shoot my work again in the future!" ”
Jin Yong was angry, and the consequences were very serious.
For more than 20 years, neither of them worked together.
Later, when a director wants to remake Jin Yong's novel, Jin Yong will explain to those directors:
"You can't change the core of the story, and the casting must also conform to the original setting."
When Zhang Jizhong remade "Divine Eagle Hero", he specifically asked Jin Yong: "Liu Yifei plays the little dragon girl, what do you think?" ”
After Jin Yong saw the appearance of 18-year-old Liu Yifei, he was quite satisfied, saying that Liu Yifei was the most suitable candidate for Xiaolongnü in his mind.
Not only that, Zhang Jizhong's version of "Divine Eagle Hero" is the most respectful and in line with the content of the original novel, and it also makes Jin Yong very pleased.
However, in Jin Yong's later years, he forgave Xu Ke and granted him the copyright to "The Condor Heroes" and planned to shoot it.
Of course, there are no losers in this operation.
Jin Yong got the promotion of his works through Xu Ke's films, and for a while, many martial arts fans would buy Mr. Jin Yong's books to read what kind of character the real Oriental Undefeated is.
And Xu Ke also earned enough fame through Mr. Jin Yong's works, and he also became a famous director in Hong Kong.
The movie "Undefeated in the East" has to be said to be a classic.
The New Year is approaching, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has become a hot topic for everyone.
