Chinese bestseller writer Nan Pai San Shu, who wrote the famous Grave Robbers' Chronicle or Dao Mu Bi Ji in Chinese, has recently announced his company has an all-round development plan in both film and TV productions.

 

中国畅销书作者南派三叔，《盗墓笔记》的作者，最近宣布其公司在电影和电视作品方面的全面发展计划。
 

 

From an upcoming adventure film Time Raiders to a newly-produced TV drama The Mystic Nine, Nan Pai San Shu shows how he stretches his versatility¹ from just a bestselling author to mixing and mashing² his intellectual property for fun.

 

"During the process of splitting and mixing of an IP, I think the most important issue for the original author and his or her team is having a sustainable ability to continue creative works. This way, an IP may grow stronger with vigor³. Based on this thinking, my team used these three Chinese characters "Old Nine Gates" to begin a totally new story based on my previous grave robbers' stories. Eventually it turned out to be a success."

 

Lao Jiu Men, literally⁴ translated into The Mystic Nine in English, has been adapted to a TV series with a new 48-episode order, which just became both available on Dragon TV and online video platform iQiyi starting from July 4th. 

 

Starring Hong Kong singer and actor William Chan Wai-ting and popular actress Zhao Liying from the mainland, The Mystic Nine tells a story on a group of nine patriots⁵ working closely in their fight against the Japanese invaders⁶ by using treasures hidden in mines.
