Of course, Li Hanxiang is a great director!

He himself has a deep classical cultural cultivation, so his costume films are particularly magnificent.

The same goes for "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

There are a large number of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that make the movie elegant and beautiful, but it is slightly inconsistent with the style of ghost movies.

Moreover, the movie sets the time in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, arranging Ning Caichen to talk about state affairs impassionedly, and this rewriting that increases the sense of reality only destroys the original elegance and refinement of the story.

Compare the version of Xu Laowei, the story is integrated into the chaotic time and space, and the information is dense, the editing is sharp, and it strongly stimulates the senses, which greatly strengthens the fighting method of good and evil!

The ending is also different: Li Hanxiang's version, the ending is satisfying, and the original work of "Nie Xiaoqian" also ends successfully, so "Liao Zhai-Nie Xiaoqian" is not very exciting, and Xu Laowei is a tragic ending that separates heaven and man forever, which strengthens the emotional identity.

Compared with Li Hanxiang's classic works, the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" focuses more on visual stimulation and sensory entertainment, occasionally interspersed with philosophy and fun, all of which are deeply in line with the characteristics of modern people's 'short and light'. Li Hanxiang's pen is full of romantic nostalgia, with a unique elegance and sophistication of the ancient Chinese literati, and his fear is more appealing to imagination, and the effect is far greater than the visualization of the new "A Chinese Ghost Story".

That's the opinion of many, many veteran film critics...

Hehe...

Film critics always stand in the opposite position with the audience.

Otherwise, how can they highlight that they are professional?

……

Zhang Junsheng's "A Chinese Ghost Story", the general framework is copied from Xu Laowei's version, except for the special effects, scene selection, some refinement, story arrangement, almost the same...

All the elements that make up a commercial film are close to the ultimate perfection in this film:

Judging from the actors and character settings, it goes without saying that Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen only appeared, and the image of the two was frozen!

In addition, the wild and uninhibited and simple and kind Yan Chixia, the hermaphroditic tree demon grandma, and even some supporting characters such as the female ghost Xiaoqing, Xiahou Swordsman, County Order, etc., are all vivid, jumping on the paper, and you won't forget it after watching the movie.

When commercial elements are gathered, there must also be romance and fragrance.

—From the small pavilion in the water, the white-clothed beauty stroked the piano on a moonlit night, to the song "Ten miles of Pinghu frost in the sky, inch by inch of green silk sorrowful Chinese years." Look at the moon-shaped single look at each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal. ”

Typical Chinese classical romantic...

Compared with Li Hanxiang's original version of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's relationship is driven by "virtue", Zhang Junsheng highlights the role of "lust":

Ning Caichen fell into the water, and Xiao Qian stretched out her jade foot to scoop him up;

In the bathtub, Ning Caichen saw ** Xiaoqian, and was kissed by Xiaoqian in the water, confused;

The two met in the water pavilion the next day, Xiaoqian said that she would pass through the door tomorrow, and said that she was lying softly in Ning Caichen's arms...

So far, the relationship between the two has been Xiaoqian's initiative, but these incomparably fragrant plots will not seem to be frivolous at all, but touching and charming.

It's very beautiful, the "climax" is both "lustful" and "beautiful", and there is a ceremonial sense of holiness!

"No Defense Tonight", Uncle Zhan mentioned "A Chinese Ghost Story", looked at his brother with squinting eyes, and asked him how he felt about filming a passion scene, and his brother was a little surprised and asked rhetorically: What? Do you think this is a bed scene?

Huang Zhan: Ah... This one... Sort of...

You see, my brother himself didn't take this as a bed scene!

……

As the relationship between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian warms up, the movie has also entered the second part, the emotional drama between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen!

The audience, who was immersed in the love of people and ghosts, did not feel that this was the last warmth and beauty.

The Dryad came out and wreaked havoc!

Fortunately, he was rescued by Yan Chixia.

However, he didn't like Xiao Qian: "You don't have to pay much attention to the affairs of ghosts." This monster's 100-year-old skill has been broken by me! Although she is deeply rooted, it will take a hundred years before she can come out to harm people, you know? Don't worry about other things!

Ning Caichen: You're wrong! I must save Xiaoqian. I want to bring her ashes back to the countryside and let her be reincarnated and become a new person.

I know that people and ghosts have a point, but why not help those who can? If you don't save her, no one can save her!

Yan Daxia, I beg you, I beg you... You must save Xiaoqian, I beg you, Yan Daxia.

Yan Chixia: You bastard, why do you still have so much love? Even I am annoyed by you! How can there be such an unrealistic person as you in the world. When I was young, I fantasized as much as you did, and I needed love more than you!

"Bastard! I'm touched by you. ”

Actually, this twist is a bit blunt...

Although there was a little foreshadowing before, it was still not enough, but Yuan Hao's acting skills and Zhou Xing's natural performance did not make the audience feel abrupt...

After all, Yan Chixia is a symbol of jealousy and hatred!

In fact, people and ghosts have the same path, they are all connected, and the world of ghosts is still the world of people.

Taoism is just disappointed in reality and tries to escape into the mountains and forests to become immortals, but feathering and ascending immortals is just a fantasy, and they still have to live in the world.

……

"Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, every inch of green silk is sorrowful, the moon is empty, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal. ”

Ning Caichen hugged Nie Xiaoqian, and when he wrote this poem on the "Xiaoqian Hair Washing Picture", it was actually destined that the two would definitely part...

At the end, the three of them returned from the underworld exhausted, but just in time for the light to get brighter, the morning sun leaking into the hut through the cracks in the broken paper windows.

Ning Caichen fixed the plank with his forehead, blocked the sun with his body, and wept while urging Xiao Qian to return to the ash altar quickly, Xiao Qian looked up at him, but he didn't seem to even bear to turn his head.

The rising sun of dawn shone on his tearful face, and his heart was infinitely sour, like a big dream had finally come to an end.

Ning Cai's eyebrows are not a "Sichuan" word, but layers of ravines.

He wants to bury his lover with his own hands, but he has to have the joy of her new life, this kind of love is very tragic.

Nie Xiaoqian, she is plain, soft, delicate, dressed in white, a silk of green silk, apricot eyes with affection, at first glance, she is not a beauty with a delicate outline, but she has a wisp of fragrant soul, floating in the night sky, and I see pity, and that pair of slender jade feet, with silver bells at the ankles, is even more pitching, swaying between the soul...

But this woman, or the female ghost, has completely disappeared...

buried Xiao Qian with his own hands, Ning Caichen stared at the tombstone a little sadly: I don't know if Xiao Qian has been reincarnated;

Yan Chixia replied to the question and sighed: "Actually, life is worse than being a ghost if it is not at the right time!"

Ning Caichen shook his head, not knowing how to respond, and looked up, there was actually a rainbow in front of him: "Hey, look ahead... Let's hit the road. ”

Although the world is difficult, at least there is hope...

The big screen freezes and the music plays:

"The road to the world, happy boy..."

"The road is rough, and there is no sunlight in it

In the mud and dust, happiness has many directions!"

"Alas, if such a movie is a big hit, it will not be a good thing for Chinese films!"

Shaking his head, Zhu Dake stood up from his position...
