In the absence of the concept of IP, or IP is not the concept we now understand, Jin Yong's novel is already a big IP, from literary works to film and television works to animation games, to maximize the value of goods, of which "Laughing Proud of the River", which has been remade 8 times, is undoubtedly the best in Jin Yong's works.
The classic and plump character image is one of the reasons for the incomparable popularity of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", I believe that everyone can not forget the Oriental Sect Leader of "Sunrise in the East, only I am not defeated", and the reason why he is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the national audience is that the Oriental undefeated played by Lin Qingxia in "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu II:Oriental Undefeated".
Now Lin Qingxia's Oriental undefeated is already a classic that is difficult to surpass, but you certainly don't know, Lin Qingxia's Oriental undefeated, let Jin Yong say in front of the national audience "Xu Ke does not understand martial arts" and "don't want to touch my novel in the future", and after that, the two almost no longer communicate, why? Lin Qingxia's Oriental undefeated is not good?
The status and relationship between Jin Yong and Xu Ke in the Chinese art world, just like Li Bai and Du Fu in the poetry world of the Tang Dynasty, like Pan Anren and Xiahou Zhan in the Wei and Jin literati, when people can be described as "lianbi", Jin Yong is the grandmaster of martial arts novels, and Xu Ke is the symbol of martial arts movies.
In 1989, Xu Ke wanted to shoot Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", Jin Yong gave him the copyright, as we all know, the entire "Laughing Pride of the Jianghu" has three parts, in fact, it is really difficult to go to the third part, because there is a problem in the first part, Xu Keli invited Hu Jinquan, who has been semi-retired, to direct, and the director found that Xu Ke always intervened in his work, and finally Hu Jinquan was almost empty, and the so-called director's name was useless.
The problem is that once the director's power is handed over, it means that the creative concept of this film will not be controlled by himself, and the biggest difference is that one of the two wants a simple and romantic effect, and one wants a sharp and amazing style, and both sides can't compromise, plus this film team is Xu Ke's, Hu Jinquan is isolated, angry and quit the crew halfway.
In 1992, when filming the second part, Xu Ke's absolute strength in the treatment of the film still did not disappear, Xu Ke filmed his "Smiling Proud of the River" is to intercept clips to shoot, the protagonist of the first part is Ling Huchong and Yue Lingshan, the storyline is "Sunflower Treasure Book" storm, the second part he chose Ling Huchong and Ren Yingying, but almost the Oriental undefeated as the protagonist of the entire movie, and most importantly, let the protagonist who was originally a man become a woman, played by Lin Qingxia, who is a woman.
Therefore, Jin Yong does not have opinions about Lin Qingxia, but has opinions about the oriental undefeated who has become a woman, and the oriental undefeated played by women, and when he was interviewed by Southern Weekend, he said so: "Blindly change my novel "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu", change the oriental undefeated from a man to a woman, and use a woman to act, and a man's transsexuality will change in personality..." This means that Xu Ke's oriental undefeated is no longer the oriental undefeated, but someone else.
The most important thing is that Xu Ke's change of Oriental undefeated to a woman can also reflect a problem, that is, Xu Ke and Jin Yong's "martial arts concept" is not the same, Jin Yong's martial arts is a line of calligraphy, upright, good and evil, the East is undefeated is an evil person, whitewashing is absolutely impossible, but Xu Ke's martial arts is a book, ever-changing, good and evil blend, he wants the East undefeated is a woman who does not understand the style and has a variety of styles, then he can be a woman.
At the same time, Xu Ke is so bold, put in the present is the behavior of "magic reform", in Jin Yong's perspective, as if someone is saying "your point of view is not OK, I want to use it", it is extremely unpleasant, but also feel offensive, more seriously, it is subverting Jin Yong's thoughts, so Jin Yong at that time heard about this matter, he immediately called Xu Ke to put forward his own objections, of course, in the end Jin Yong, like Hu Jinquan, lost his voice under Xu Keli's public opinion.
Later, Jin Yongcai said: "He still wants to buy my novel to make a movie, and I said that my friends still do it, but the novel is not sold to you, and the cooperation thing is not done." "But Xu Ke, who is especially good at photographing women, after all, has filmed the Oriental undefeated out of the way he wants and the world has accepted it, which makes people relish until now, since then, any word that is undefeated in the East has grown a name, and a new gender has existed, to some extent, Xu Ke has won Jin Yong.
And although Jin Yong was ruthless not to shoot his own novel, in his later years, he still did not hold back, in 2018, Xu Ke still got the copyright of the "Eagle Hero" that he originally wanted to shoot the most, and openly recruited actors, the initial goal is to shoot in 2019 to 2020, 2021 release, but it is estimated that in case Xu Ke thinks of any "magic reform" ideas, Mr. Jin Yong is still very willing to come to a midnight bell and ask him to change it.
