The film and television adaptation of classic literary works is not only an individual effort, but also a profound technical activity; After playing with all the flowers in the room, if you can't play with all the chicken feathers, you will definitely not be able to retreat completely.
Many of the famous directors from the glorious era of Hong Kong cinema have had the experience of adapting classic literary works and producing many classics; For example, Xu Anhua's "Love in a Fallen City", Guan Jinpeng's "Rouge Button", Cheng Xiaodong's "Ghost of a Beautiful Girl", and so on.
Everything goes too far, everything is crazy.
This is the most classic description of the prosperous Hong Kong films and Hong Kong filmmakers, which is often manifested in the film and television adaptation of classic works.
The normal production of literary works into film and television dramas is called remaking; A highly exaggerated and insane remake can be called a magic modification.
So, in the era of Hong Kong cinema, who are the masters of magic modification movies such as Tsui Hark, Wang Jing, and Liu Zhenwei, the king of classic original works?
Due to directing "Gambling Saint", which helped Stephen Chow transform from a star boy to a star master overnight in 1990, Liu Zhenwei enjoys a high status in the field of Wulitou comedy films.
Liu Zhenwei has always been known for his madness. He is a born master of magic transformation. The most famous masterpiece is "A Tale of Journey to the West" starring Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat in 1995, which is adapted from the Chinese classic "Journey to the West".
In "Journey to the West", there is a moonlight treasure box that can travel through time and space. Sun Wukong's reincarnation of the Supreme Treasure falls in love with the Purple Mist Fairy, whose lamp core in front of the Buddha's throne has been transformed; Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, the three brothers of the mortal world, engaged in mountain bandits and were the leaders of the Axe Sect at the foot of Wuyue Mountain; Spider Spirit and White Bone Spirit are teacher sisters. Sun Wukong had an affair with the Niu Demon's wife, Princess Iron Fan. Tang Monk's mouth was so broken that he killed himself.
Because 'Journey to the West' is too classic, classic to make the audience forget that it is also 'Journey to the West'; And it has the most fans and topics on the internet, and has also led the trend of adapting the same theme in the industry, which can be said to have ruined "Journey to the West".
Based solely on this two series of "Journey to the West", Liu Zhenwei can nominate the King of Demon Reform.

Wang Jing has been infamous as the king of bad films for many years, but in fact, she has also made many classic films and has great insight into the box office market. She is recognized as a genius in the film industry.
In 1992, directed by Wang Jing and starring Stephen Chow, the two films of "The Deer Cauldron" grossed over HKD 76 million at the Hong Kong box office, making them definitely Wang Jing's representative works of magic transformation.
Mr. Jin Yong's original work of over 1.5 million words was compressed into two films by Wang Jing and completed.
