"The Grave Robbers Chronicles" Film Version Faces Criticism from Fans
News of "The Grave Robbers Chronicles" being adapted into a film sparked outrage among fans of the novel. Many netizens expressed their preference for the novel over going to the cinema, fearing that the film would ruin this classic work. As the saying goes, "oranges grown south of the Huai River remain oranges," so moving a perfectly good Chinese tomb-robbing novel to the U.S., across the Pacific, raises questions.

"The Grave Robbers Chronicles" Movie Adaptation? Uncle San's Response is Too Vague
Recently, First Movie Network asked Nanpai Sanshu on Weibo to confirm the authenticity of this news on behalf of various fans, and Nanpai Sanshu responded via Weibo. However, this so-called response consisted of merely three simple words: "I don't know," which was too vague!
Believe it or not, whether this news is true or false, time will give us the answer. Anxious fans can only wait for updates from the production team. First Movie Network will continue to follow the latest developments of "The Grave Robbers Chronicles."
Synopsis of "The Grave Robbers Chronicles" Movie Version
In the movie version of "The Grave Robbers Chronicles," John Cusack plays Wu Xie, who becomes an American following Uncle San to China for grave robbing. In China, he develops a romantic cross-cultural love affair with Ning, portrayed by Li Bingbing. The most revolutionary aspect is that Jude Cao, played by Jude Law, merges with the character Jude Cao from the novel, leading Wu Xie to China—this is the part most questioned by fans. Additionally, the character Ping, played by Ryan, will become a key figure in the film, influencing the storyline's development.
