Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"It's pretty good."

Shi Hui also nodded and said, "Jin Yong's martial arts novels are very popular in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. Zhang Sanfeng is a very important character in his novels and has a mass base!"

At that time, there was no concept of "fan fiction", but in fact, this is "fan fiction", a secondary creation.

In fact, this story is based on the 1993 movie "Tai Chi Master", starring Jet Li and Qian Xiaohao.

The domineering line "My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God" often appeared in later online novels and videos.

The first one was so powerful, so the second one wouldn't be any worse. Fu Qi was very excited and looking forward to it. He couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What about the second idea?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "To shoot a martial arts film, you need a lot of people and a lot of location shots. You have to shoot some of the magnificent mountains and rivers of our motherland so that foreigners can understand and yearn for our beautiful mountains and rivers. But correspondingly, the cost is also high."

"Although General Manager Fu didn't tell me the bottom line, I can roughly tell that Great Wall Company's finances must be very tight."

Fu Qi nodded and said, "That's right. Our funds are indeed tight. In the past ten years, we were only focused on the workers' movement and didn't make any movies. When the new era came, Hong Kong movies had undergone earth-shaking changes. We couldn't keep up with the times. The five movies we made were all losses. Including the "Shaolin Temple" project, it was also invested by a Japanese monk who loves Shaolin traditional martial arts culture..."

Lin Zhengjun said: "So, my second story is a low-budget thriller, or a horror film!"

"Zhengjun, you have a very open mind. Horror movies are very popular in the United States."

Fu Qi was amazed. He didn't expect Lin Zhengjun's thinking to change so quickly and his ability to capture market information was so strong.

Shi Hui added: "For example, Jaws and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which were released in the past two years, and Alien, which was released this year, all had good box office results..."

Liang Xiaosheng scratched his head and said in confusion: "It's weird, the American devils are really interesting, they watch movies to scare themselves, aren't they sick?"

"People have a desire for excitement. It can even be said that fear and a sense of crisis are a kind of psychological need of people."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Especially when a person has no worries about food and clothing, he cannot get such feelings from nature and society, so he needs literary and artistic works to compensate."

"But in essence, although horror movies are tense, they do not deepen the audience's psychological fear. Instead, they allow the audience to completely immerse themselves in the plot, forget the troubles and trivialities in real life, gain excitement and satisfaction, and even gain strength and hope. Therefore, they have the effect of relieving stress and releasing."

"Horror movies often reflect the inner anxiety and restlessness of modern people, reveal the deep-seated human nature and cultural psychological structure, reflect social problems, and also carry social significance."

The more Fu Qi and Shi Hui listened, the more frightened they became.

Up to now, there is still a blank in the domestic horror film genre, and Lin Zhengjun has definitely not had the chance to see one.

But it is truly amazing that he has such a profound grasp of the essence of such films based only on some film materials.

Fu Qi said excitedly: "Zhengjun, what kind of story do you want to write?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "In Hong Kong, there was a well-off couple who had two children, a boy and a girl. However, when they were about to give birth to their third child, they had a miscarriage."

"In order to heal their psychological trauma, they decided to adopt a child from an orphanage."

"In the orphanage, they met a nine-year-old child who was very pretty, sensible, and very talented in art. She was great at painting and playing the piano. Even the host and hostess were impressed by her!"

"I took the little girl home. There was a sweet moment at first, but then the hostess discovered something was wrong with the girl!"

"She was one face in front of her and another face in front of her husband. She was also violent. When her brother shot a bird with an air gun, she picked up a brick to help her brother end the bird's suffering. This frightened the hostess and made her feel repulsive. She ate raw meat and even hurt the hostess's two children. But the husband refused to believe it. Instead, he became more disgusted with the hostess under the instigation of the little girl."

"The heroine started investigating and found the nun in the orphanage, but the nun died. She continued to investigate and found out that nine people in the family that adopted her had died. She was also adopted before and tried to woo her adoptive father, but when her proposal was rejected, she got angry and killed the whole family."

"It turns out that this little girl is not a little girl at all, but a 33-year-old woman. Moreover, she is a descendant of the Japanese."

"When the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, they conducted biological experiments everywhere. In August 1945, they were defeated and evacuated, but they abandoned the researchers here.

"Because the researchers had been infected by the virus and mutated, they lived in seclusion in the mountains, had children, and the children also mutated and became dwarfs, but with sharp teeth, great strength, extremely strong sexual desire, bloodthirsty and violent."

"When the woman found out the truth, the little girl went into a rampage mode because she was ignored and alienated by her adoptive father!"

"She faced a mirror with distorted patterns on it, pulled off her silk scarf, revealing the blood marks on her neck from the rope, tore off her wig, revealing her bald head covered with pus-filled lumps, wiped off the eyeshadow and foundation washed away by tears, revealing her dull and yellow skin, took off her neat white braces, revealing her sharp fangs covered with tartar, and was about to kill her adoptive father and her siblings..."

"After a fight, the male owner and his son were killed, and the female owner killed the little girl to protect her daughter..."

"Oops!"

After listening to this, Fu Qi was stunned. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "This story is great, thrilling and exciting, especially the twist at the end..."

Wang Yang, Jiang Huaiyan, Liang Xiaosheng and others were all amazed.

What on earth is Lin Zhengjun's brain like?

It usually takes people ten days or half a month to come up with a story, but Lin Zhengjun did it effortlessly.

Zhou Yangguang admitted defeat.

He thinks he is an expert at writing pornographic and violent themes, but compared with Lin Zhengjun's story, it is too childish and naive!

"Oh, the picture of the girl running wild drawn by Zhengjun is very visually impactful..."

Shi Hui felt a cold sweat on her back and felt a little chilly. She tightened her clothes and said with a smile: "If this play is done well, it will definitely be a big hit."

Jiang Huaiyan smiled and said, "And the key is that the cost is low. It's a modern drama with simple props, and the scene almost takes place in a house. It will probably take only a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands to complete the filming."

That’s right, the story Lin Zhengjun told was based on the Warner Bros. film “Orphan,” which grossed a total of 8000 million U.S. dollars.

It is a classic representative of low-budget thrillers!

Of course, Lin Zhengjun made a localized adaptation based on the regional characteristics of Hong Kong and incorporated Japan's invasion of China and occupation of Hong Kong.

日本人在1941年12月25日至1945年8月15日占领香港，俗称“三年零八个月”。

Wang Yang frowned and said, "There is a problem. The market for Hong Kong films is mainly in Taiwan, and the little girl in Orphan is involved in the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong Island. I'm afraid it won't perform well in the Taiwanese market. It may even be directly strangled by the Freedom Federation!"

In Hong Kong, although many people lick Britain and the United States, they don't have a good impression of Japan and like to treat them as villains and beat them up in movies.

But many people in Taiwan are flatterers of Japan, especially the Freedom Federation, which will interfere even more.

"We can just give up the Taiwan market," Lin Zhengjun said in a shocking manner.

"What? Giving up the Taiwan market and relying only on the Hong Kong market would be a much greater risk!" Wang Yang frowned and said worriedly.

Lin Zhengjun said: "This drama is mainly in the Southeast Asian market. In addition, there is also the North American market. We can directly use it to earn foreign exchange!"

“Earn foreign exchange?”

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. They were all confused by Lin Zhengjun's wild and imaginative ideas!
