April 25th.
The Shenlong Awards officially announced the shortlisted films.
As expected, Xianyu's two films last year received multiple nominations.
Among them, "The Truman Show" was nominated for four major awards including Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Film!
"Life of Pi" was nominated for six major awards including Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Newcomer, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Film!
Suddenly.
Hotly discussed across the entire Internet!
"Who will dare to say that Yu Dad is a strong hit in music but timid in film and television? He has been nominated for ten Shenlong Awards!"
“Awesome!”
"It's a pity that there are too many overlaps in the nominated awards."
"Both films were nominated for the three major awards, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Film. This means that Yu Dad not only has to compete with other competitors, but also with himself."
“This has its benefits.”
"It does have its benefits, because this work has one more entry than others, so the chances of winning are much higher than others."
“It all depends on who wins the prize in the end.”
Being shortlisted and ultimately winning the award are two different concepts, so while the public is hotly discussing it, they are more curious about the official award ceremony at the end of the month.
Because the award ceremony is on April 30th.
After learning that he was nominated, Lin Yuan stopped paying attention to the Shenlong Award, because being nominated does not mean winning the award.
He is thinking about a question at the moment:
Should the Condor Heroes trilogy be completed in one go
It didn't take long for Lin Yuan to get the answer, and he prepared to write "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
Anyway, this book has to be written sooner or later, so it is better to take advantage of the popularity of the first two parts and let the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword appear in this world.
“OCD.”
Lin Yuan made a self-deprecating comment.
The first two parts of The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy have been written, and I always feel like something is missing if I don’t finish the trilogy in one go.
certainly.
The obsessive-compulsive disorder theory was just a joke. The real reason why Lin Yuan wanted to write “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber” was that the system had not yet recognized the revival of martial arts.
This means that Lin Yuan’s mission has not been completed yet.
In the studio, when Jinmu learned the concept of the Condor Heroes trilogy from Lin Yuan, his first reaction was a look of horror:
"Will this new book be more cruel than The Return of the Condor Heroes?"
"This time it's a cool article."
"Is Chu Kuang getting better?"
Jinmu didn't believe it and teased Lin Yuan with some online memes.
Lin Yuan did not explain. Jin Mu would know when he saw the new book. Among all Jin Yong's martial arts novels, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is indeed a typical cool novel structure. The various experiences of the hero Zhang Wuji in this book are the most YY among all the male protagonists he has written.
"All right."
Seeing that Lin Yuan looked innocent, Jin Mu believed him again.
A hint of anticipation suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Since you want to create the concept of the Condor Heroes trilogy, will Guo Xiang appear in the new book?"
Like many readers who have read The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Jinmu also has a deep complex for "Guo Xiang" and has a special liking for this character.
"Just barely."
Lin Yuan said: "The next book will start with Guo Xiang, but she is not the protagonist, because this story takes place a hundred years after The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
"A hundred years later?"
Jin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The time span of your third part is too long. At this point in time, all the characters in the Condor Heroes have passed away. Will there be an explanation for their endings?"
"certainly."
Lin Yuan gives a small spoiler: "The significance of the third part is to explain the endings of the characters in the first two parts, and also fill in the hole in the last chapter of The Return of the Condor Heroes."
"The pit at the end?"
Jin Mu was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something: "Are you talking about the little monk Zhang Junbao who suddenly showed up at the end of The Condor Heroes?"
The end of The Condor Heroes.
When Zhang Junbao first appeared, he fought with Yin Kexi under the guidance of Yang Guo, showing his terrifying talent in martial arts.
This plot has attracted the attention of some readers, but ultimately did not cause much discussion, as Kaneki did not expect that this character who made a brief appearance in the last chapter would actually be involved in Chu Kuang’s next novel, the last of The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy.
Little monk Zhang Junbao
This name is really inappropriate.
Lin Yuan said: "From now on, everyone will call him Master Zhang. He will become the head of Wudang and a legend of the era."
Jin Mu was stunned. "Is Wudang similar to Taoism? A legend of the times? Master Zhang? This title is not simple. Are you going to make Zhang Junbao the protagonist of this book? But the time doesn't seem to match. Could it be that this Master Zhang has lived for more than a hundred years?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Correct, but he is not the protagonist either. The protagonist is his disciple's grandson."
"All right."
Kaneki could accept this setting: "But didn't you say the Condor Heroes trilogy? That's the only connection?"
"Of course there's more than that. There's also the white ape following Yin Kexi."
"White ape?"
"I won't go into detail about this. Yang Guo's descendants will also appear in the new book and mention The Return of the Condor Heroes. You will understand all this when you read the book later. Also, do you remember Yang Guo's Heavy Black Iron Sword?"
"certainly!"
That is one of the most exciting plots in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Yang Guo encountered the Divine Eagle and obtained the heavy black iron sword passed down by Dugu Qiubai!
Lin Yuan mentioned the subsequent story of this heavy black iron sword: "Yang Guo eventually gave the black iron sword to Guo Xiang. In order to continue the anti-Mongol cause, Huang Rong and Guo Jing melted the black iron sword and split it into two, forging a sword and a knife."
"A sword and a knife?"
"To be exact, it's the Dragon Slaying Blade and the Heavenly Sword."
"What a domineering name!"
"He was indeed overbearing, and he caused a bloody storm in the martial arts world. The parents of the protagonist of the new book died because of this."
"Martial arts novels really cannot do without the setting of both parents being dead."
"Hatred has always been the greatest and most reliable driving force behind fiction writing."
“Is this a spoiler?”
"This level of disclosure is not considered a spoiler."
The opening of "The Heavenly Sword" and "The Dragon Saber" introduces a lot of plot, so it really can't be considered a spoiler.
At least Lin Yuan did not tell Jin Mu that the Dragon Slaying Sabre and the Heavenly Sword contained the "Wu Mu's Testament", "Nine Yin Manual" and even "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" and other martial arts secrets that were truly incredible. This was also to preserve Jin Mu's pleasure in reading.
"Um."
Jin Mu asked another question that concerned him deeply, and he still couldn't let go of Guo Xiang:
"Was Guo Xiang powerful later on?"
“She founded the Emei Sect.”
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The Wudang sect founded by Guo Xiang and the Wudang sect founded by Zhang Sanfeng, also known as the young monk Zhang Junbao, are both the six major sects in the new book."
"Does that mean it's amazing?"
"Yes, otherwise why would Master Zhang have been obsessed with it for so many years."
"And there are emotional scenes?"
"unrequited love."
Guo Xiang could not escape the curse of "once seeing Yang Guo, her life will be ruined".
One hundred and three years later.
Before his death, Zhang Sanfeng took out a pair of iron arhats from his side and told the people around him:
"This pair of iron arhats was given to me by Miss Guo Xiang a hundred years ago..."
Joy is fun, parting is painful, and there are even more foolish children among them.
Master Zhang Sanfeng had such great accomplishments that he did not worry about anything before his death, but in the end he could not let go of that girl's smile.
It was as if the girl had never forgotten the fireworks when she was sixteen.
…
And just five days after Lin Yuan and Jin Mu finished chatting about "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
The Shenlong Awards have finally begun!
What is different from the previous times is:
This time Xianyu did not run with him.
The movie "The Truman Show" won two heavyweight awards, Best Actor and Best Film!
The movie "Life of Pi" won three prestigious awards including Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography and Best New Actor.
Great harvest!
This was a great harvest for both Xianyu and Xingmang.
Although there are still some heavyweight awards that were nominated but missed, Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han and Liuzhou have so many films, and to be able to achieve such results among such a lineup of strong films is already a pretty good result.
at the same time.
Lin Yuan received a system prompt: "Congratulations to the host for completing the task recognized by the Shenlong Award, and you will be rewarded with a random treasure chest!"
Lin Yuan checked it immediately.
However, what disappointed Lin Yuan was:
This turned out to be a silver treasure chest.
After seeing the temptation of the golden treasure chest, the silver treasure chest could hardly arouse Lin Yuan's interest. It seemed that his luck was not good enough this time.
"Open it."
Lin Yuan directly opened the silver treasure chest.
As soon as the silver treasure chest is opened, the system's new prompt will appear:
"Congratulations to the host for winning the movie script "Kung Fu"!"
Huh
It’s actually Stephen Chow’s “Kung Fu”
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then finally smiled.
It is a pretty good reward to get this movie from the silver treasure chest.
"This is a unique martial arts movie."
It seems that the system is also silently assisting me in completing the task of reviving martial arts
You know.
This "Kung Fu" can be regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese-language action movies, and it is also a work that represents the culmination of Stephen Chow's style in his later years!
In the movie.
The martial arts elements are very strong.
The two characters, the landlord and the landlady, have two names that are enough to make anyone who has watched The Return of the Condor Heroes smile knowingly:
Yang Guo!
Little Dragon Girl!
This was Stephen Chow's tribute to Jin Yong, for which he paid the old man a sum of royalties, but the old man donated it to a charity.
When Jin Yong mentioned this in an interview, he said surprisingly:
Zhou Xingchi was the first director to pay himself royalties simply for quoting elements from his martial arts novels in his films.
It is obvious that the movie only used the names of Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu and basic martial arts.
People say that Stephen Chow is stingy, but it’s not evident in this matter.
Later, when "Kung Fu" was released, Jin Yong praised the film highly and gave it a very high evaluation.
It was quite interesting for Lin Yuan to find such a movie from his treasure chest when he was writing The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy.
In fact, it’s not just Jin Yong.
The film also pays homage to Spider-Man, with a line from the film being used when a character dies:
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
Lin Yuan has already filmed Spider-Man, so it’s easy for the audience to get this joke—
No hesitation.
Lin Yuan decided to put this film into his future film shooting plans.
