On October 30, Beijing time, today is the third anniversary of the death of the famous martial arts novelist Master Jin Yong, who once made countless novel fans crazy is still alive in everyone's heart. Many people who have intersected with Master Jin Yong have also sent condolences, including the famous director Zhang Jizhong.
According to statistics, most of the TV dramas that Zhang Jizhong has shot in his life are related to Jin Yong's novels, and he is also the director who has filmed the most TV series adapted from Jin Yong's novels, and the two of them can be regarded as mutual achievements. Jin Yong's novels have gained a wider audience because of Zhang Jizhong's TV series, and Zhang Jizhong has also received good scripts because of Jin Yong's good novels.
Jin Yong once said that Zhang Jizhong is the best director to shoot his own novel, because Zhang Jizhong has always strived for truth when shooting Jin Yong's novel, and he has to restore all the scenes to exactly the same as the novel at any cost, and it is this pursuit of the most original and true attitude, which has led to the Jin Yong TV series filmed by Zhang Jizhong to have such a good response.
In fact, Jin Yong and Zhang Jizhong also privately have a very deep affection because of TV series and novels, the two of them often gather together, Zhang Jizhong also affectionately called Jin Yong as Brother Cha, and Jin Yong also called Zhang Jizhong as Brother Ji. The feelings of the two of them are like the good men in the green forest in Jin Yong's novels, all for brotherhood.
Zhang Jizhong said a lot of things in his words of mourning Jin Yong, including the first scene when he wished Jin Yong a happy birthday five years ago, when Zhang Jizhong and Jin Yong kissed and parted, it has been five years now. Although they have not been able to meet all the time, they will also correspond frequently, which has allowed their relationship to remain deep.
Zhang Jizhong also mentioned his situation in the past few years in his eulogy, in the three years since Jin Yong's death, Zhang Jizhong has encountered many major events in his life and is happy to have children, but all this cannot be shared with Jin Yong. Zhang Jizhong is still very obsessed with Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and believes that Jin Yong is the best master of martial arts novels.
When the love reached the depths, Zhang Jizhong even said that he wished his brother happiness, and if he had free time, he could fall asleep and hope for his brother. The meaning of this sentence is that Zhang Jizhong hopes that Jin Yong can come to his dreams when he has time, even if he is already separated from each other, Zhang Jizhong still hopes that he can see Jin Yong and share happiness with him.
This kind of feeling is very rare in the entertainment industry, and in general, some TV series adapted from novels usually do not get particularly good reviews, and even if they get good reviews, the original author will definitely feel bad. For example, many of Qiong Yao's novels have been adapted into TV series, but Qiong Yao seems to be dissatisfied with this all the time.
The reason why Zhang Jizhong can always shoot TV series adapted from Jin Yong's novels may also be because of his own obsession with Jin Yong's novels, and his respect for the original author, everything is based on the original novel, which can best truly restore the situation of these novels.
Many netizens have also left comments below to discuss, they also think that Jin Yong and Zhang Jizhong are indeed mutual achievements, but there are also netizens who complain that Jin Yong and Zhang Jizhong are people with improper private lives. However, if we put aside their private lives, their novels and TV series are really excellent, at least for many years in the future, we will never see such excellent novels and TV series again.
