Chapter 387: Love Has an Afterlife

After a short period of activity, the movie appreciation officially began, to be honest, He Mu didn't have much expectations for this movie before, although there are many famous directors in China, most of them have become a generation of film masters after being honed by many works, and there are only a few people like Xu Jinglei who made their debut blockbusters, so he is ready for "Love Has an Afterlife" to be mediocre or even boring.

At the beginning of the plot, it is about a beautiful young woman (Yu Feihong. played by her husband and bought a house away from the crowds, and the husband was played by Tu Yansong, who should be a cameo and was not included in the starring list. On the days when her husband was out to work, Xiaoyu always felt as if something was watching her under the ginkgo tree in the yard, and it didn't seem to be human.

This paragraph must be very scary if you let Tao Qu shoot more, he has a hundred ways to scare you to scream, but Yu Feihong's handling method is light and light, although Xiaoyu is also a little scared, but it does not show the kind of hysteria of the heroine in a horror film, the grass and trees are soldiers, when the wandering spirit dressed as a bald monk under the ginkgo tree came out of the shadows calmly, Xiaoyu chose to bring a pot of tea and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with the wandering spirit to chat, talking about what he stayed here for, the monk said he was waiting for someone, Then start telling your own story, and the story really unfolds.

He Mu looked at it very carefully, the quality of this film is much better than he imagined, just from the beginning, it can be seen that the director has put a lot of thought into the set, photography, art, editing, etc., the temperament of the film is not from the kind of small workshop, it looks very beautiful and comfortable, just like the director Yu Feihong. But this is normal, at the beginning of the film, He Mu also noticed the main creative lineup behind this film, Lin An'er, Li Yaohui, and Zhao Fei. These are all masters of the Golden Rooster lineup, the strength of these behind-the-scenes workers ensures the quality of the film, no wonder Xingmei claims that this movie costs 40 million, even if there is moisture, I am afraid it will not be too exaggerated, the salary of those big names behind the scenes is not low, and the intermittent shooting cycle of this film is too long, if there is an experienced producer. With a reasonable plan and plan, maybe half of the funds can complete the shooting, after all, this is a romance film without big names and big scenes.

The high quality of the film's hardware is one thing. The handling of the plot was also unexpected by He Mu, first of all, he didn't expect that there would really be a ghost in the movie, the monk played by Duan Yihong was obviously a ghost, and he refused to be reincarnated. There is still a monk who is concerned in his heart. However, the heroine Xiaoyu did not show the fear of ghosts, and the monks who were in the state of ghosts did not have the ferocity of ghosts in the general impression, they were like the hosts receiving guests, drinking tea, chatting, and the guests came when it was dark, and the guests left at dawn, and came back the next day. But this is idealism after all. According to the radio and television masters, this is the dregs of feudalism and must be strictly forbidden. How did Director Yu get her movie through the review from Radio and Television, is it because the ghosts in her movie are relatively harmless, this must be asked in private.

He Mu has always felt that things like ghosts and spirits are very representative of traditional Chinese culture, and things with great symbolic significance, many ancient cultures used these ethereal things to refract politics, society, and people's hearts, even if those private goods and additional meanings are thrown away, those imaginative stories can also be called cultural treasures, and they have great adaptation value, but there are such and such restrictions in radio and television, originally "Painted Skin" should be a ghost story, but because mainland films cannot involve ghosts, So I had no choice but to change it to the story of the fox demon, it seems that the fox demon is more materialistic than the ghost, He Mu has always felt that this is a pity, if Yu Feihong masters the trick of adding "ghosts" to the movie and not letting radio and television ban it, He Mu hopes to learn it, he believes that if this restriction is relaxed, not only horror films, but even magic films can be more liberal, and only by untying the shackles can more creative inspiration be stimulated, so that the Chinese film genre can flourish.

He Mu continued to look at it, and it was similar to what he had guessed before, the person the monk ghost was waiting for was really this Xiaoyu in front of him, the background of the times suddenly returned to the Qing Dynasty from the Republic of China, the woman in the previous life was named "Jiu'er", the monk was not a monk at that time, he was the younger brother of a bandit, suave and bookish, their story began with a horse and shepherd.

Comfortable light and shadow, beautiful scenery, and wonderful performances make people quickly integrate into the movie, with the ups and downs of the fate of the hero and heroine, the only thing that feels a little disobedient is probably director Yu Feihong, in the story of the monk's ghost Jiu'er should be a girl, although she is still beautiful, but after all, she is almost four people, her beauty is mature beauty, intellectual and elegant beauty, and Jiu'er's temperament is very different from that of a village girl, although Jiu'er is also melancholy and deep.

In addition to Yu Feihong's performance, Duan Yihong at that time did not have the demeanor of today's generals, slightly young, but the interpretation was affectionate, the old Duan five years ago was much more tender than now, to say that the most eye-catching performance in this film is probably the thief brother played by Uncle Yao Lu, the wildness, affection and personality charm shown by this thief master made He Mu wonder if this is still the master in the Shaolin Temple at the beginning?

As the plot deepens, one mystery after another is solved, for what Duan Yihong will play Ah Ming become a monk, for what he will stay under the ginkgo tree after his death and wait to see Ah Jiu again, for what Ah Ming's eldest brother will be ambushed, and Ah Ming and Ah Jiu have an unsolvable feud. At the end of the year, Gao Hu, who played Ah Jiu's brother, appeared, hatred and love collided together at this moment, Ah Jiu gave his life to save Ah Ming and got Ah Ming's forgiveness, the monk's story is told here, saying, "Ah Jiu went before me, she thought I would stay in this world, so she was in a hurry to reincarnate." And I was afraid that she would come to me under this ginkgo tree and not dare to leave, and miss the opportunity to be reincarnated, but I can only stay on this reincarnation path for fifty years, and now it's time to do it. ”

At this time, the young woman Xiaoyu had listened to the story of the monk for a few nights, she was deeply addicted to the tragedy of Ah Jiu and Ah Ming's love, as if listening to her own story, and heard that the monk was about to be reincarnated, she began to worry about this pair of lovers who had different paths, and the monk told her, "Everything I want to give her, she already has it, in fact, what I want is not to give her happiness?" So as long as she is happy, it doesn't matter if this happiness is given by me or not, and whether she can wait for her or not. ”

"But ......" Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that Amin's tea was cold, so she stood up and said, "The tea is cold, I'll go and refill it for you" and then turned around and went into the house.

At this time, the camera returned to the monk, and he recalled that Jiu'er lay in his arms before he died and said to himself, "In the next life, if you don't recognize me, I will say: Your tea is cold, I will renew it for you." Then you will know that he is my ......."

Xiaoyu also seemed to be saying the sentence "The tea is cold, I'll go and renew it for you", intermittently remembered herself and Ah Ming in her previous life, and when she passed by a mirror on her way to renew tea, she immediately burst into tears, and her self in front of the mirror was clearly Ah Jiu in a wedding dress in her previous life, and she understood everything at this time.

But when she returned to the ginkgo tree, let her shout, and she could no longer see Amin......

It's a very sad story, plain, but touching, this movie easily poked the tears of the female audience in the venue, many viewers are already busy wiping their tears, if He Mu takes Zilin, Shishi, and Xiao Nan to watch, they will definitely cry with a big face, even male audiences like He Mu can't help but sigh, and it is easy to expose emotions if they are not careful.

At the end of the movie, He Mu applauded heartily, many people stood up to express their love for the film, He Mu was very glad that he did not miss such an excellent movie, compared with "Love Has an Afterlife", He Mu felt that his previous "Very Perfect" was too superficial and lacked a touch. Before the screen was about to go dark, a line of thanks appeared, Yu Feihong thanked Jiang Wen, Chen Kexin, and He Ping who had helped him at the last moment, this movie took nearly four years from filming to release, if it is considered the preparation before shooting, a movie took Yu Feihong eight years, it is her most beautiful eight years, a woman can have several eight years, and she really completed this movie with her heart, just because she hopes for this story and is moved by this story, So she insisted on putting it on the big screen, but if it weren't for the help of those friends in the circle, she might not even be able to do the public screening, even if she got the opportunity to be released, she may not be able to recover the cost she paid for it, but it doesn't matter, she said that as long as her movie is moving and tearful, this is enough.

Next, Yu Feihong and other main creators were going to hold a press conference, and the good response from the audience made her feel good, He Mu didn't have to stay and left first, when he left the cinema, he took a poster photo with his mobile phone and posted it on Weibo, with a short comment, "If "Love Has an Afterlife", then love you for a lifetime @Zhang Zilin~" Later, he hung up a phone call to Duan Yihong and asked him to tell him Director Yu's phone number and wanted to talk to her.

He Mu's Weibo has now become a hot phenomenon on the Internet, every time he publishes a new meager can get a lot of comments and forwards, crowning all Weibo users, his Weibo is mostly to comment on and recommend film and television works, books and flirting with Zhang Zilin, his fans can get closer to him through the link of Weibo, and He Mu's true temperament on Weibo has also attracted a large number of people who were not familiar with him before, and slowly began to like him.

This new meager kills two birds with one stone, not only recommending Director Yu's "Love Has an Afterlife", but also teasing Zilin, what pregnant women like to listen to the most is love words, He Mu has always been stingy. Zhang Zilin only saw He Mu's Weibo when she got home, she smiled and said to herself: Even if you have a sweet mouth, it is not in vain that my sister helped you like yesterday...... Shame~ (To be continued......)
