Golden Harvest has a discerning eye for talents, after Tsui Hark proved his ability to make commercial films with "Ghost Horse, Smart Stars", he entrusted him with the important task of this (agaa) early adopter theme.
Tsui Hark was addicted to acting in the past two years, he went to various studios all day long, and made cameo appearances in funny roles, even in Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar". Looking at his journey from the shadows, this may be his digestion before starting again.
The commercial comedy model of New Art City gave him a lot of inspiration, but his unrestrained inspiration was not bound by the system of New Art City, so he never turned down other opportunities.
In addition, after Shi Nansheng took "Best Partner" to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, his eyes were wide open, and he felt that he was looking at the sky from a well, which prompted Tsui Hark to actively explore new fields.
In hindsight, Tsui Hark is the most suitable director for Shushan, and the theme of Shushan has become a colorful part of his director career.
The original novel "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shu Mountain" written by Zhuzhu Zhulou is originally an unfinished huge pit with 5 million characters. Ni Huan called it "the most wonderful book in the world", and it is extremely difficult to adapt it into a script.
