Speaking of which, "Love Has an Afterlife" is a bit similar to "Lust and Caution" in terms of plot, it is a woman who does not hesitate to sacrifice herself to break into the enemy. It's just that the former is simply for revenge, while the latter has a more ambitious theme - to eliminate traitors for the country.

It's a pity that the women fell in love with each other. "Lust and Caution" may be more Westernized, reaching emotional sublimation through physical pleasure. And "Love Has an Afterlife" is more subtle, aesthetic and romantic with Chinese characteristics.

In the original script, there are actually many twists in the script that seem to be more blunt, such as Ah Jiu has always been very cold to Ah Ming, but he suddenly became in love with death, ran to the temple of Ah Ming's monk and built a dilapidated house to take care of his diet and daily life, and even did not hesitate to go against his mission of revenge to persuade Ah Ming, who had become a monk, to elope with him.

There is also the fact that Ah Ming suffered a love blow here in Ah Jiu, so he rode his horse and ran. On the way, I met an ancient temple, listened to the Buddha bell Qingming, suddenly had a sense of epiphany, and then dismounted and became a monk.

Now when filming, the former added some more foreshadowing, and through the bits and pieces of life, Ah Jiu gradually fell in love with Ah Ming, and then the contradiction between the mission of revenge and love made her extremely painful and had to hurt Ah Ming against her will.

And the latter was also too sudden, and the foreshadowing was insufficient, so it was modified into Ah Ming running away, falling off his horse and being injured in a panic, and was rescued by the monks. During the period of recuperation in the temple, he listened to the monk chanting sutras and participating in Zen, and felt that there was nothing to love in the world, so he became a monk.

The temple is the courtyard on the hillside, and the interior was filmed in the Xingjiao Temple in Shaxi Town. There are more dramas here, because after Ah Ming became a monk, Ah Jiu built a dilapidated house nearby, delivered tea and meals every day, and accompanied him. This time is the most prosaic and intimate day for the two, in a vulgar phrase, that is: the present world is stable, and the years are quiet.

And the only scene, which is also a turning point in the whole film: it was Ah Jiu's brother who ambushed Ah Ming's brother, he fled to the temple, and the other party led people to besiege and wash the village in blood, so the truth has been revealed.

Ah Jiu is caught between hatred and love, and is willing to die. The two met under the ginkgo tree in the temple, and Ah Jiu said: If you don't recognize me in the next life, I will say, "The tea is cold, I'll go and renew it for you." ”

He Xin was quite surprised when filming this scene, as a romantic literary film, the so-called fighting scenes are all embellishments, or the pursuit of good looks. But a soft and weak female director like Mr. Yu handled it quite neatly.

Her requirements are different from traditional action or kung fu movies in the past, and they are very straightforward. It is demanded that every knife or shot must be fired, and someone will die, and blood must be seen. It's the kind of fight scene that sees the blood with a knife, and it is to shoot these fights directly and neatly, and don't drag the mud and water. It gives a strong sensory stimulus.

Ah Ming played by He Xin is like this, after Ah Jiu's life and death, he frantically pounced on Ah Jiu's brother with a knife, and then was stabbed in the heart by Gao Mu, who played Ah Jiu's brother on a horse.

In the end, everyone died, the temple was burned down, and in the blink of an eye, fifty years later, the Qing Dynasty arrived in the Republic of China, and the temple became a house.

It's just that the pace of shooting is very slow, and there is no way to adjust the set at any time, and sometimes you can only shoot one or two shots a day. It wasn't until the end of January that the scenes between Yao Lu and Gao Mu were completed.

Fortunately, now He Xin is ready to fight a protracted battle, and the tranquility, beautiful scenery and slow life of the town are both work and leisure for him, which is somewhat like the sun and moon in the mountains.

may be the reason for the arrival of the winter vacation, there are often travelers in the town, and they are very surprised to see the crew filming here, especially when they see He Xin wearing a robe and sometimes a Confucian robe and braids, and often haunting the town. Of course, the most interesting thing for the traveler is the beautiful director of the crew.

Speaking of Teacher Yu, she was popular for a while, a "Holding Hands" and a "Xiao Li Flying Knife" once made her popular all over the country, and Fan Xiaopang could only play her girl.

has been silent for a few years now, which has made most audiences forget a little, but when she appeared as a director, especially a beautiful director, it still aroused great interest from everyone.

There is no way, if you have a good look, you just have an advantage.

As the photos of the travelers were exposed on the Internet, I gradually found that there were more and more tourists coming to the town, many of whom came to He Xinhe to see the demeanor of the beautiful director.

invisibly not only helped the town advertise, but also won a lot of attention for the drama "Love Has an Afterlife".

......

Lijiang, Sanyi Airport.

"Mom, Dad!"

With the arrival of a plane, passengers poured out of the gates. He Xin saw the figure of Cheng's father and Cheng's mother, and hurriedly waved his hand to meet him.

"Ah Xin!"

"Mom, Dad, the journey went well, right?"

"It's okay, it's just a little troublesome to turn around. It's the first time your mom and I have been on a plane for such a long time, and it feels like going abroad. Cheng's father said with a smile.

"Dad, you've been doing well lately, aren't you?"

"Well, it's good, I can eat and sleep. ”

Compared with Cheng's father's energetic appearance, Cheng's mother looked a little depressed.

He Xin hurriedly asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that the plane has been sitting for too long, just take a break. Oh, Ah Xin, are you shaved your head like this?" Cheng's mother waved her hand, but she was a little uncomfortable when she saw his smooth head.

"What do you know! Ah Xin is filming, those Qing Dynasty dramas on TV, you have to shave your head and wear braids. Dad Cheng took the opportunity to say.

"What I don't understand, I'm just asking! The Qing Dynasty shaved his head, and he had to shave his head differently when he played a monk. Cheng's mother suddenly perked up, glared and choked.

"Yes, yes, Dad, Mom, what you said is right, I not only acted in Qing Dynasty dramas, but also played the role of a monk. He Xin hurriedly explained.

At this time, Shen Ming happened to run over and took the initiative to take over the luggage cart from Cheng's father.

He took the opportunity to divert the topic and introduced: "Dad, Mom, this is my new assistant Shen Ming. ”

"Hello uncle and aunt. Shen Ming greeted him politely.

"Oh, Xiao Shen, I'm sorry for you. ”

Seeing that there were outsiders there, Cheng's mother suddenly resumed her usual look and tone of being kind to people outside and being very polite, and followed her wife to greet Shen Ming.

"Uncle and aunt, this is my job. The new brother is busy filming, if there is anything in the future, you can just tell me. Shen Ming said busily.

He Xin also smiled on the side: "No, there are still a few days before the New Year, let Shen Ming take you to the surrounding attractions to have fun during this time." The scenery is beautiful!"

"I know, I know, we often hear on TV that there are ancient cities and snow-capped mountains in Lijiang. ”

"Hey, what's in the box, why do you bring so many things?"

The old couple not only carried two large suitcases, but also two large foam suitcases.

"I brought some fresh seafood, and your mother was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat seafood in the inland area here, so she brought some on purpose. Cheng's father, who was a little weak-hearted, hurriedly attributed all the credit to Cheng's mother.

"Yo, Mom, you're so thoughtful, I've been here for a few months, and I'm hungry for this. He Xin suddenly exaggerated.

This is a piece of the old man's heart, all brought, and only gladly accepting it is the best way to thank you.

Cheng's mother smiled comfortingly, waved her hand and said, "It's convenient for us to bring it over." Okay, don't delay here, let's go. I didn't expect the weather here to be so hot, be careful not to break the contents inside. Oh yes, Ah Xin, there's a freezer where we live, right?"

"Yes, everything, I've arranged it all. ”

This time, both of them encountered New Year's Eve in filming, not only on New Year's Day but also on Spring Festival, and they couldn't go home for the New Year. Cheng Hao has already finished filming in Chongqing and transferred to Hengdian. They have a four-day holiday during the Spring Festival, so the transportation is quite convenient.

He Xin's side is miserable, in the western Yunnan Plateau, the distance is long and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, plus the Spring Festival rush. Even if it is a holiday, you can only rely on planes to travel, and you need all kinds of transfers, and there are no discounts, the cost of travel is the most expensive, plus the loss of work stoppage, it is a cost of millions.

For the crew members, it is common for them to not be able to go home for the New Year while filming, and even if the holiday time is very short, coupled with the various inconveniences of travel, they are happy to stay in the crew and earn double or triple the overtime pay.

Since there is no holiday, Teacher Yu is still more humane, and when the time comes, the Chinese New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival will take a day and a half off, so that everyone can rest and breathe locally, and the overtime pay will be paid.

So He Xin pondered and discussed it with his girlfriend, and simply asked Cheng's father and Cheng's mother to come to Yunnan for the New Year. And the climate here, the air is good, and the scenery is better, which is just right for the old couple to come out to travel and relax.

As for Cheng Hao, there are direct flights to Lijiang in Hangzhou, and the transportation is also convenient, so you can stay here for three days if you book a round-trip ticket in advance.
