Between Jin Yong and Gu Long, whose work is more readily adaptable for movies/TV?

[Ken Cheng]

Jin Yong and Gu Long being the two most popular wuxia writers of the second half of the 20th Century, a vast number of adaptations of their novels have been made during the past sixty years, as both cinematic feature films and extended television series. Between the two authors, whose work do you think is more readily adaptable for film and TV?

Jin Yong's is better for adaptation, as Gu Long's is too much talk and conversation, will easily make boring , except if the producer want to modify the story or use an early works of gu long (like juedai shuangjiao/handsome siblings).

I think if you direct it Wong Kar Wai style with a lot of narrative voiceovers and mood shots. Gu Long might be more suitable.
