Female ghosts, dryads, love-hate entanglement...... Pictures flashed in Bi Xia's brain, becoming clearer and clearer, and people became more and more excited, he sat in front of the computer, searched for the story of Liaozhai, and found the volume of "Nie Xiaoqian" in it and read it.

At the same time, in the brain, I also quickly looked for the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", the room was silent, Bi Xia sat on a chair like a statue, immersed in the film, unable to extricate himself.

When Bi Xia opened his eyes, the sky had already brightened, after doing the necessary exercises every day, he made a breakfast for his mother and Bi Chang, Bi Xia drove to the company, and had entered his office.

Last night's dream gave Bi Xia great inspiration, the lingering emotion, the affection that he looked back at made Bi Xia unforgettable, and the terrifying and disgusting vine, and the disgusting laughter, kept echoing in Bi Xia's ears. He had a very urgent desire to record them and make them into a film to share with the audience.

Especially after reading Liaozhai's "Nie Xiaoqian" and watching the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in his memory, he became more and more determined to make this movie.

There are two versions of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the world of memory, namely the 1987 Xiangjiang version and the 2011 remake version, with the same theme, but their influences are very different.

is different from everyone in memory, Bi Xia watched the 2011 version first and then watched the 1987 version, and his evaluation of these two movies in his heart is more objective. There are big changes in the plots of the two movies, the cast is very strong, and the new version has to work harder and more effective than the old version in terms of stunts. Although Bi Xia also feels that the new version can't be compared with the boss, this has to paraphrase a classic line, "It's not that we're too stupid." It's that the communist army is too cunning", which is used to evaluate the old and new versions: "It's not that the new version is too bad, it's that the old version is too classic."

In Bi Xia's view, the gap between the two is mainly that the new version has lost the charm of Xiangjiang's traditional ancient monster films. In my memory, when the traditional ancient gods and monsters of Xiangjiang developed to the famous directors of Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong, it can be said that they have reached the point of perfection, especially in conveying the charm of ancient gods and monsters. Coupled with a group of excellent actors who are also deeply influenced and immersed in the culture of gods and monsters, this kind of film has become the most popular film genre along with police and comedy films, and a large number of classic films have emerged. The old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is one of the most outstanding representatives, both in terms of story direction and character building. or in terms of actor performances and fine art photography, it was the best at the time.

In terms of the plot and the arrangement of characters, how can humans and ghosts love each other? You definitely need to give a reason first! The old version does not shy away from Xiaoqian's harmful plot, and before she met Ning Caichen, there were two scenes in which she seduced and harmed people. When Ning Caichen appeared, listening to the piano by the lake highlighted his untempted demeanor of a righteous gentleman, but at this time in the film, Xiaoqian did not let him go because he was a "righteous gentleman", but still made him unconscious and ready to dedicate to his grandmother. It was only because Yan Chixia arrived that Xiao Qian left Ning Caichen and fled in a hurry. And Ning Caichen then chased Xiao Qian back to the piano, and gave Xiao Qian a snake at all costs, which is exactly this. formed an emotional bond between the two, Xiaoqian, who was killed by a traitor and controlled by her grandmother, felt the warmth from others for the first time, so she decided to show mercy to his subordinates. Later, the two crossed paths many times. At the critical juncture, mutual assistance was repeated, and this was the gradual emergence of feelings. Even so, when Ning Caichen finally learned that Xiao Qian was a ghost. was still scared to death, until Xiaoqian showed that he did not harm him, Ning Caichen gradually felt at ease, and the emotional rationality of the hero and heroine was created quite convincingly.

And how does the new version of "Shemale Love" work? Ning Caichen met a beautiful woman who had no fixed place in the wilderness, and she was unsuspicious and treated each other sincerely, and Xiaoqian was a demon who was so good that she had never harmed a woman from beginning to end, compared to her group of extremely evil sisters, it was not like a country. Xiaoqian's reason for not arresting Ning Caichen turned out to be that "there is no such smell on her body", and then she blindly protected Ning Caichen, and the emotional bond between the two actually relied on "a piece of sugar", a naïve reason that made Bi Xia cry and laugh. Later, Ning Caichen learned that Xiaoqian was a demon queen, and he was not afraid at all, which was obviously against the emotional mentality of normal people.

In terms of props to promote the plot and the relationship between the characters, the new and old versions can also immediately make people compare a huge gap.

The new version designed the triangular relationship between the three protagonists, but in order to avoid the cliché of the love triangle and prevent the three from having emotional crossovers and contradictions, the two male protagonists and the heroine each fell in love, so that the audience couldn't even tell who the real male protagonist was. The heroine does not reflect her inner contradictions and entanglements in the film, and becomes a gluttonous fox who gives candy to whomever she wants. Such a plot setting is not attractive and appealing to the vast majority of audiences.

When the old version of Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen first met, the director's close-up of the heroine's jade foot with a string of footbells immediately made people feel that the heroine was unbelievably sexy. Later, the portrait of Nie Xiaoqian became a token of the emotions of the two, sending love with paintings and inscriptions, all of which are full of the beauty and charm of traditional Chinese love. And Yan Chixia's Diamond Sutra to Ning Caichen has repeatedly become a key prop to force away evil demons and turn danger into disaster, and it also plays a decisive role in reversing the plot by surviving the desperate situation and killing the old demon of Montenegro at the end. And what are the impressive props in the new version? Thinking about it, it's either a candy or a jar of sugar, and it can be taken out of Ning Caichen at any time like a trick, the role of connecting emotions is so far-fetched, not to mention what beauty and charm can be created in the rivalry between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian.

Of course, the vastly different evaluations of the two films are more of a classic and unsurpassable mind, especially when there is indeed a certain gap between the two films, this gap will be infinitely magnified.

The script written by Bi Xia now, the prototype of which is the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", not to mention the qualitative gap between the two movies in the plot, Bi Xia thinks that it is not a good choice to subvert the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in terms of screenwriting, maybe there is no problem with making some small changes in the details, but in the overall plot and character arrangement, the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" cannot be changed, and at the same time, Bi Xia also has a heart like a film tribute, this movie is too classic, Bi Xia watched it three times in a row last night, and he didn't dare to say that he completely understood the essence of this movie.
