# The Legend of Sword and Fairy Movie #
Everyone knows that Nanmu Video bought the copyright of “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” from Dayu Games, and everyone also knows that “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” is going to be remade.
But all along, everyone thought that all they wanted to film were TV series.
Because a TV series “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” has been filmed before, the audience preconceptionally believed that the remake of Nanmu Video would also be a TV series.
As a result, Xu Nan suddenly posted on Weibo.
The movie “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” has been approved!
It was so sudden.
“The movie “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”?”
“Didn’t you say you want to make a movie or TV series?”
“I don’t know, but now that Xu Nan has posted on Weibo, it means that the movie “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” must have started, otherwise he wouldn’t have said that.”
“Maybe the filming has already been completed.”
“It’s so sudden, I’m not mentally prepared at all.”
At first, the audience felt it was very sudden, but after they reacted, their mood quickly turned to excitement.
Everyone was a little reluctant to remake the TV series “Legend of Sword and Fairy”, but it would be different if it was made into a movie.
“To be honest, I have been looking forward to the “Legend of Sword and Fairy” movie.”
“That’s right, TV series focus on plot, and movies focus on pictures. “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” is actually very suitable for being made into a movie. Whether it is Fairy Island, the Demon Locking Tower, and finally the Moon Worship Sect, these special locations will be displayed on the big screen. Watching it online will definitely feel different from watching it on a TV.”
“I have always felt that this game is suitable for adapting into a movie, but adapting it into a TV series is putting the cart before the horse.”
“I wonder how Xu Nan will take pictures.”
“I believe Xu Nan’s directorial skills will not disappoint everyone.”
Netizens are looking forward to it.
When it comes to remaking TV series, everyone is worried that it will ruin the classics, but when it comes to making movies, that’s no problem.
Because there is no movie in “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry” at all, everyone is not worried about ruining the classic. Instead, they expect Xu Nan to make a classic for them and provide a visual feast.
Who has not watched the TV series “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”, and who has not played the game “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”.
And when playing games and watching TV series, who hasn’t imagined the scenery inside.
Of course, it is because Xu Nan is a great director that the audience has a relatively high degree of trust in him.
Otherwise, if it were an ordinary director, the audience would still worry about ruining the classic.
Xu Nan’s fan base.
Someone forwarded Xu Nan’s Weibo to the group.
“Xu Nan is going to make the movie “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”.”
“Didn’t you say that we are preparing “Dian Mu”? Why did it suddenly become “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”?”
“To be honest, between “Dian Mu” and “Legend of Sword and Chivalry”, I am looking forward to “Dian Mu” more.”
“No matter which movie it is, I will watch it. This is the awareness of being a fan.”
“Actually, I prefer the original “Captain China”, as well as “Area 51” and “Titanic 2″. Those are the movies I really like.”
“Stop dreaming. Xu Nan has been cleared. It’s impossible to make bad movies anymore.”
“That’s right, making that kind of movie would be too controversial, and it would easily destroy Xu Nan. He finally cleared himself up by making two high-scoring movies, and it’s impossible to look back.”
“I understand the truth, but it’s still a bit regretful.”
Fans are talking more about Xu Nan.
But people in the industry are talking about the type of movie and the impact of this incident.
“Have you heard that Xu Nan is going to make the movie “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”?”
“I heard it.”
“Actually, a national-level IP like “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry” is very suitable for adaptation into a movie, because it has a large audience.”
“Yes, the game is successful and the TV series is also a great success. It is normal to adapt it into a movie. It is abnormal not to adapt it into a movie.”
“But it has been so long, but only Xu Nan has said that he wants to make a movie called “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”.”
“Isn’t it because Xianxia movies are so unpopular?”
Someone spoke out what everyone was feeling.
Yes, Xianxia movies are too unpopular.
To be more precise, there are no Xianxia movies in the domestic market.
Of course, those movies that sell dogs over sheep’s heads and label them as fairy tales definitely don’t count.
Many directors have made costume movies, martial arts movies, war movies, love movies, and even science fiction movies.
But from beginning to end, no one thought about making a fairy tale movie.
the reason is simple.
At the beginning of the century, there was a great director named Xu who spent a lot of money to shoot a fairy tale movie adapted from a novel.
That novel is also very famous, and it is also a national IP.
The great director named Xu also has very strong shooting skills and is ranked high in the country.
The Xianxia movies he made are beautiful, and the audience said that his Xianxia movies have a real fairy spirit.
Then this fairy tale movie hit the streets.
National IP.
Top director.
The movie quality is also top notch.
Audiences who have watched it all said it was good.
But the movie still suffered a loss, which can be called a blood loss.
It was because of this bloody precedent that no one dared to invest in the production of Xianxia movies.
They are top-notch in every aspect, even their reputation is top-notch, but they have failed. Who else would dare to try.
Capital is profit-seeking and naturally averse to risks.
And without capital investment, naturally no one would make Xianxia movies.
Over time, Xianxia movies have become a completely unpopular genre and have not appeared in more than ten years.
Xu Nan is the first person in the circle to eat crabs.
“Can “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry” be successful?”
“If Xu Nan had made other types of movies, I believe he would definitely be able to make money, but Xianxia type movies.”
“It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to say.”
“I believe in Xu Nan’s shooting skills, but the problem is that even if a fairy movie is finished, it may lose money.”
“I wouldn’t call it unpopular. Mainly because this type of movie has never been successful.”
“That’s not necessarily the case. I think Xu Nan has a great chance of success when filming “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry” this time.”
A well-known person in the circle made a serious analysis.
“Everyone thinks that Xianxia movies are not popular, simply because the Xianxia movie “The Legend of Shushan Swordsman” at the beginning of the century suffered so badly.”
“And “The Legend of Shushan Swordsman” did not lose money because of poor quality. In fact, this movie has very good quality and reputation, but it still lost money, so many people think that Xianxia movies cannot be successful.”
“But we have to look at the problem dialectically. At the beginning of the century, the domestic film market was very small, and the highest-grossing movie only had a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan.”
“Now the domestic market has expanded ten times compared to that time, and the highest box office of a movie is close to 3 billion. It can be said that the domestic film market has reached a point where it can accept a big-budget Xianxia movie.”
“And the most important thing about Xianxia movies is special effects, but Xu Nan is a director who is very good at using special effects.”
“So I think it is possible for Xu Nan to succeed in filming the movie “Legend of Sword and Chivalry”. Don’t rush to pour cold water on it. If Xu Nan succeeds, it will be beneficial to domestic movies.”
Many people agree with this view.
“Yes, there is indeed a chance that Xu Nan’s movie “Legend of Sword and Legend” will be successful. Don’t just beat all the “Xianxia” movies to death with a stick.”
“Actually, Xu Nan’s filming of “Legend of Sword and Legend” is a good thing for domestic films. Whether it is a success or a failure, everyone can learn from it.”
“Personally, I still hope he succeeds, so that there will be another type of domestic movies in the future.”
People in the circle discussed it quite heatedly.
Fairy-tale movies are indeed very unpopular, but Xu Nan still has a chance to succeed.
After all, he is a director and good at special effects.
Only Xu Nan dares to shoot fairy-tale movies.
Because he is the boss of a film and television company, he can come up with the money himself. Other directors who want to make this type of film have to find ways to convince capital.
But that’s almost impossible.
If Xu Nan succeeds, other directors will not have to worry about not being able to convince capital to make fairy-tale movies in the future.
So it’s better to succeed.
Related news spread quickly.
Soon, the entire Internet knew that Xu Nan was going to film the movie “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”.
Most people just discuss it.
But after someone heard the news, they quickly sensed an opportunity.
“Fei Fei, do you know that Xu Nan is going to film the movie version of “The Legend of Sword and Chivalry”?”
“I heard, what’s wrong?”
Liu Yifei asked doubtfully.
Liu Yifei’s manager Liu Lili showed an enigmatic smile.
“Don’t you think this is a good opportunity?”
“What do you mean?” Liu Yifei looked confused.
Liu Lili was anxious: “Character, you can play the role of Zhao Ling’er.”
“Don’t forget, you became famous with the role of Zhao Ling’er in the first place. Now that the movie “Legend of Sword and Chivalry” has started filming, who else could you choose to play the role of Zhao Ling’er?”
Liu Yifei hesitated and said: “But I heard that Xianxia movies are very unpopular and have a high probability of failure. I play Zhao Ling’er. If the movie fails, wouldn’t I be affected?”
Liu Lili shook her head: “You have already attacked the street several times in a row. Even if you attack the street again, no one will be surprised.”
Liu Yifei: “.”
You really know how to talk.
Liu Lili analyzed carefully: “Fei Fei, first of all you have to correct your attitude. Although you are very famous, basically all the movies you starred in have been dumped on the street. The situation is already very dangerous.”
“Secondly, although Xianxia movies are not popular, Xu Nan is a great director and is good at special effects. There is still a chance that his film “The Legend of Sword and Heroes” will be successful.”
“Third, you are like this. It is not certain whether others will choose you or not. You are still here to pick and choose.”
“I say, Concubine, be obedient and stop being stubborn. If you continue to be stubborn, there will really be no such person in the entertainment industry.”
Liu Yifei thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
So, a new problem arises.
“How can you guarantee that I can get this role?”
Liu Lili smiled.
“Believe me.”
