Jin Yong's adaptations 2017-2020

[wkeej]

i dont think Zhang Jizhong ever adapted Gu Long's works?

Sorry for being unclear. What I meant is that with the passing of Gu Long, there do not seem to be any more Gu Long TV series/films. Though of course, I am not 100% sure for Jin Yong.

Well last one i watched was xaio shi yilang with kevin yan?

New handsome siblings coming out, border town prodigal came out a year or 2. As well as legend of flying daggers 2016 about dagger lee grandson stars yang rong, remake of one with julian Cheung and ruby lin.

OT: I think compared to jin yong, there will not be so many.

[Mido-Ban]

Jin yong is like marvel n gu long like dc lol.

Jin yong adaptions has more simple hero and story line.

Gu long more darker heroes and complex villain

Anyway, based on my memory, my only issues in terms of storyline for 2013 DGSD was the missing marriage between DY and Xixia Princess's maid and a missing marriage ceremony for DY and her wives at the end. Wow, it's nice to marry three in one go.

Wow. Are you desperate for marriage?

White Horse Neighs in the Western Wind:
according to https://jqknews.com/news/90658-Zhang...CXIwm4kPq18UBA
Zhang Jizhong is planning to make a Jigsaw TV series version (i dont understand what that means)

my friend who know mandarin language, told me that it was Television Film (a movie-length video that produced and distributed to a television network, not for movie theater)

Seriously and honestly, only the condor trilogy and Smiling can reap a line of success even if people are tired of them. They'll tune in and possible new generation will like it. Duke, Fox, and the Book is a tricky one. Qing Dramas always goes to Jet Li WFH or Shaolin type. The rest are kind of obscure besides a few lesser fan favorite adaptions. Investors from a Business stand point will definitely choose condor and make it more family friendly to sell it to wider range of audience.

The Deer and The Cauldron Movie (trilogy)

The Book and the Sword Movie version confirmed.

"The time is ripe for a revival of Jin Yong adaptations on film, as the author’s work has only appeared on the small screen in the last decade. The most widely read contemporary writer across the Chinese-speaking world, Jin Yong’s extensive work is seen as an IP wellspring that has the potential of spawning a cinematic universe akin to Marvel's or Tolkien's. At the moment, besides Pang’s trilogy, Media Asia is developing The Legend of the Condor Heroes, to be helmed by Roy Chow (Rise of the Legend), and Sun Entertainment Culture is adapting The Book and the Sword, Jin Yong's debut novel in 1955, with director Jacob Cheung (Cageman) attached."
