Even if you haven't read Jin Yong's novels, you must have seen Jin Yong's TV series. Even if you haven't seen Jin Yong's TV series, you must be familiar with the characters in it.
In fact, we know that Stephen Chow once wrote a version of Jin Yong's novel, the Duke of Lushan. Directed by Jing Wong, this film stars Stephen Chow, Ng Man Tat, Sharla Cheung, Chingmy Yau, Deric Wan, Chen Baixiang, Xu Jinjiang and Wu Junru, and Lin Qingxia, Tang Zhenye and Li Jiaxin are invited to join the second film "The Lu Ding Ji 2: Dragon Religion".
In fact, there have been many TV adaptations of Jin Yong in recent years, and Jin Yong is very dissatisfied. Because Jin Yong once had an idea about the adaptation of his novels, that is, he must be loyal to the original. If you make a mess of his novel, why don't you write one yourself? This is Jin Yong's point of view.
Then when filming Duke Lushan, the crew communicated with Jin Yong, and the role of Wei Xiaobao was played by Stephen Chow. At that time, Jin Yong sent a fax with six words: no second thoughts.
As a result, Jin Yong was satisfied with Stephen Chow, and felt that he should conform to Wei Xiaobao's role and character. Secondly, it proves that Jin Yong has seen Stephen Chow's films and is very familiar with them. Otherwise, how would he know what style Stephen Chow's films belong to?
Later, it turns out that the Stephen Chow version is indeed the most classic version at present. So Jin Yong is very satisfied with the remake.
Since then, Stephen Chow and Jin Yong have deepened their friendship and become friends who have never forgotten their friends.
When filming Kung Fu, Stephen Chow asked Jin Yong to pay the copyright fee because several names in it were taken from Jin Yong's novels. Jin Yong smiled and said, well, there are six names, so you can pay 60 thousand.
And Jin Yong's evaluation of Stephen Chow is this: "I admire Mr. Stephen Chow very much, and he and I are good friends. I have seen his latest film Kung Fu, which is very good and profound. After laughing, there is still a philosophical aftertaste. Mr. Stephen Chow's good movies deserve respect, and what makes me respect is his awareness of protecting and respecting intellectual property rights. "
20 13, Jin Yong's 90th birthday, Stephen Chow wrote a sentence to bless the idol.
"Punish evil and promote good, safeguard world peace and wish Xiacha a happy birthday" (is this sentence very similar to the lines in Kung Fu? )
