We usually speak of how television and film production companies make a hash out of the wuxia novels they adapt.
Do you believe, however, that this is possible: a mediocre or even bad wuxia novel somehow gets optioned for a television or movie adaptation and somehow, the production company manages to turn the weak source material into a solid, entertaining adaptation.
Has that ever been done? Can it be done? Or is this a case of "garbage in, garbage out?"
