Why Jin Yong’s works are suitable for TV series and Gu Long’s is suitable for movies

In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a wave of martial arts in the film and television circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan. A large number of excellent martial arts works were adapted and put on the screen to meet the audience. Among them, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and Wen Rui'an are the most famous. , Known as the four great masters of martial arts. Among them, Liang Yusheng pioneered modern martial arts with "Yunhai Jade Bow", and he can be called the founder of the new martial arts. Wen Rui'an is the representative of the new school of martial arts. The "Four Famous Catch" and the hero Xiao Qiushui series are both very famous, but Speaking of the most prestigious, it has to be the master Jin Yong and Gu Long. Jin Yong wrote a total of fifteen novels, and put together a couplet called Feixue Liantian Shooting the White Deer, the Laughing Man leaning on Bi Yuan, plus a copy of "The Sword of the Yue Girl". There are more Gu Long, and he has written a lot of his own and ghostwriters. The more famous ones are the Tie Zhongtang, Chu Liuxiang, Li Xunhuan series, Lu Xiaofeng series, Border City Prodigal series and so on. What is more curious is that there are many TV series adapted from Jin Yong's novels, while most of Gu Long's are adapted into movies. This may be related to the writing style of the two. Jin Yong was born in a literary family. His ancestor was Zha Shenxing, a poet during the Kangxi period. His family and Jiang Ying and Xu Zhimo were all related by marriage, and he was regarded as a scholar in Zhejiang.

The fairy sister Wang Yuyan likes to intersperse historical figures in his novels, most of which have a big era background, such as the "Tianlong Ba Bu" in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and the trilogy of sculpture shooting from the late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty. The plot is in line with historical development. , It gives people a sense of falsehood. Moreover, each move has a clear context, and martial arts is smart, and there will never be a sudden burst of inspiration to suddenly open the eight channels of the odd meridian. The protagonists all debuted from the unknown, just like the friends around us, and then slowly grew up. Although in order to highlight the protagonist’s aura, he may add some adventures to the protagonist, otherwise he cannot compete with the old monsters who have been famous for a long time. Common methods include sucking different snake blood (Guo Jing), eating different snake gall (Yang Guo), and eating Different fruits (Zhang Wuji), eating different insects (Duan Yu), power transmission (Xuzhu), etc., and so on.

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, but because we grew up with us, we have a sense of substitution, and the plot is relatively long, so it is suitable for filming long-term TV series. Gu Long's novels generally do not explain the background of the times. Most of the protagonists are very powerful when they are out of the mountain, such as Chu Liuxiang, Li Xunhuan, Lu Xiaofeng, and Xie Xiaofeng. They are basically BOSS-level when they come out of the mountain. Although not necessarily the most powerful, they can live to the end. The second-ranked Shangguan Jinhong's Dragon and Phoenix Shuanghuan can win the first Tianji old man's Tianji stick, and the third-ranked Xiao Li Feidao can also kill Shangguan Jinhong in seconds. Gu Long likes to make this kind of weird situation, so it is basically in his novels. There will not be a situation where Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and Ren Yingying can't beat the unbeaten Orient like in "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Moreover, Gu Long likes to kill in seconds, very clean and tidy. Often, the villains die under inexplicable swords when they haven't been hit much. For example, when Li Xunhuan faced the Dahuanxi Bodhisattva, the flying knife could not pierce her fat. But her face turned inexplicably, it turned out that he was actually a friend of Li Xunhuan!

Li Xunhuan has more suspense in Gu Long, and there are many suspicious fans in the book, so it is very suitable for making a tight-paced movie. In addition, Jin Yong's book started slowly, just like tasting tea, you need to taste it carefully to know the sweetness and fragrance of the aftertaste. And Gu Long is like the favorite wine of his life. Just after drinking the first sip, he already tasted the most beautiful taste. "Wen Jun has a beautiful white jade, carved with wonderful hands, very beautiful, and I am eager for it. Tonight, I will take it when I walk on the moon. Jun Su Yada will not make me go back and forth in vain!" At the beginning, How can it not be attractive to watch?
