"Ginkgo, Ginkgo"?

Lu Deshuang immediately remembered this film adaptation, which made Yu Feihong's first directorial work "Love Has an Afterlife" that he had planned for nearly ten years.

In fact, as early as 1996, when Yu Feihong was still studying in the United States, he returned to China for a summer vacation, and accidentally received a collection of short stories by Xulan.

Maybe it's because the children who grew up in Jiangnan have the experience of listening to ghost stories since they were children, and the poignancy and melancholy in the ghost stories leave the children in endless reverie...... Even Su Lan herself said that the original intention of creating "Ginkgo Ginkgo Ginkgo" at that time was to write a study similar to "Liao Zhai".

And Yu Feihong, who was still studying at the time, was only a student in his early twenties, far from having such great ambitions, and immediately wanted to adapt a short story into a movie and put it on the screen. In the following years, Yu Feihong experienced returning to China to film, and "Holding Hands" became an instant hit, and various film appointments followed...... In her busy acting life, she has never forgotten the story of "Ginkgo Ginkgo".

With the growth of age and experience, in the process of continuous acting and the accumulation of professional experience in unremitting self-learning, "Ginkgo Ginkgo" gradually transformed into an increasingly clear movie picture, which took root in her mind, and received the support and encouragement of many friends around her...... By 2001, Yu Feihong had made it clear that he wanted to adapt the story of "Ginkgo Ginkgo" into a movie and put it on the screen, and found Xu Lan that year and got the film adaptation rights of "Ginkgo Ginkgo".

However, Lu Deshuang knows that Yu Feihong's current situation is hitting a wall everywhere.

There is no other reason.

It's all because Yu Feihong wants to direct, act and write by herself, for her condition, without exception, all investors have politely refused, you Yu Feihong is okay to be an actor, but being a director is full of question marks, compared to Yu Feihong, a rookie who has no works, film investors are more inclined to invest in directors who have already achieved fame.

"You want to be the director of this movie?"

余∈□dǐng∈□diǎn∈□小∈□ said,.2▽3.△os_(); The smile on the corner of Feihong's mouth froze, and he replied helplessly: "I didn't expect this matter to reach Mr. Lu's ears, I'm not afraid of your jokes, there are already many people who have found reasons to refuse when they hear that I want to be a director, and they don't believe that I can make a movie at all, but I don't blame them, it's human nature, it's me, and I don't want to take my own money to gamble on a person who has no experience at all, and is not a director." ”

Lu Deshuang sighed, indeed, people are like this, it is not that seniority is arranged, but in people's instincts, there is a kind of distrust of young people, and even distrust that actors can be directors, and it is precisely in this atmosphere that Yu Feihong often runs into walls everywhere as a result of pulling investment.

"Is there a script?"

"Yes, but I didn't bring it with me, why don't I get it now?"

Yu Feihong's face was happy, but he was quite calm, not too excited, after all, Lu Deshuang just proposed to read the script, and he would not necessarily invest, but this was enough to make Yu Feihong happy, you must know that other people, after hearing the conditions that Yu Feihong wanted to write, direct and act by himself, let alone read the script, he didn't have time to finish a meal, and they all found reasons to leave, indicating that they were not optimistic about her as a director.

"Don't worry, you can simply tell me the core of the script first."

"Okay."

In this way, the two sat in the study, listening to Yu Feihong tell the plot of "Love Has an Afterlife", the more they listened, the more fascinated they became, Lu Deshuang also put forward some opinions from time to time, and unconsciously discussed with Yu Feihong, when talking about the wonderful, he would even applaud, I have to say, Yu Feihong is worthy of being a teacher, this eloquence is good, until Dong Xuan came in and called the two of them downstairs for lunch, it was not until Lu Deshuang came back to his senses, and it was noon?

"Teacher Yu, if you don't dislike it, stay and have a homely meal, and then let's continue to discuss."

"Okay, I also use Mr. Sun's craftsmanship."

………………

People, ghosts, love, what do you think of when these three elements are mixed into a movie?

Many people's first reaction is estimated to think of "The Love of People and Ghosts", or "A Chinese Ghost Story", the former is a classic romance film that swept the world in the early 90s of the 20th century, earned the tears of fans, and moved countless iron men.

From the perspective of story structure, "People and Ghosts Are Not Dead" tells just an ordinary love story of life and death, but the choreographer was able to set the development of the story in a unique marginal area: between the yin and yang worlds.

So this has become a ghost movie and a fantasy film. The heroes and heroines love each other bitterly, but in the end, they can't see each other because of the strangeness of yin and yang. The film uses ghosts and ghosts to produce a series of suspense and twists and turns of the plot, the audience is immersed in fantasy and reality, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes inspired by justice, and finally moved by the protagonist's unswerving love.

The movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" combines martial arts, monsters, thrillers, funny, and love, creating a precedent for Xiangjiang stunt monster films.

Although the main part of the film is a poignant human-ghost romance, it was quite alternative at the time in terms of expression, and the peak of visual effects made this film almost lead an era of Hong Kong ghost films.

Zhang Guorong played the role of "Ning Caichen" in the movie, which was simple and silly, and was still so elegant in Mu Nezhong, showing his acting talent in dealing with two different emotions of joy and sorrow. Wang Zuxian's version of Xiaoqian, the shape is soft and elegant, and there are thousands of changes. The white clothes are like cold smoke covering the moon, not stained with earthly snow and frost. Her bright eyes are circulating, smiling lightly and sorrowfully, the female ghost in Pu Songling's pen should be so cold and resentful.

But these two movies give Lu Deshuang the feeling that they are not the same type of movies as "Love Has an Afterlife", only "Rouge Buckle", they all have one thing in common, that is, an infatuated ghost waiting for a lover.

"Rouge Buckle", although it is an old movie released more than ten years ago, still impresses Lu Deshuang, he remembers that Li Bihua once said this about this movie.

March rouge, thick as blood, light as frost.

A drop of bright red dyes white and dazzling, and a drop of dew makes it cold and desolate to the bones.

There are not many infatuated entanglements between the stars and the distraction of souls.

In the smoke and clouds, the face of the previous life was blurred, and the promise of this life was forgotten.

Time can wipe out a qiē, including love. Promises are illusory, but some people are willing to pursue them in their lifetimes.

This is life: even if you try your best, the result is predetermined. Some people have not yet stepped down and are already exhausted. Some people want to close, and there is no room for excesses.

This is love: among about 10 million people, there is only a Liang Zhu who can turn into butterflies, and the others only turn into moths, cockroaches, flies, gnats, and beetles just can't turn into butterflies, and there is no imaginary beauty.

The unfinished love of people and ghosts is slowly told in the interlaced veins of time and space in "Rouge Buckle", and the poetic rhythm control will give people an indescribable emotion of this poignant love story.

In fact, whether it is Anita Mui playing the female ghost Ruhua's love, or Zhang Guorong playing the old tears of the twelve young people after decades, the love between the twelve young people and the flowers is "like a dream like a phantom moon, if it is like a flower", they don't love each other deeply, and the infatuated lovers in the world are not just a flower.
