tearjerker director

Chapter 1279
Li Yi watched the original version of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" and had to sigh. Although the special effects were flawed due to the limitations of the times, the actors in this movie were perfectly chosen.

It's really not that easy to reproduce this movie in this world.

There is only one Nie Xiaoqian in the world, but why isn't there only one Ning Caichen?

There are some movies where the character makes the actor, but there are other movies where the actor makes the role.

This movie can be regarded as a mutual achievement, but it is even more rare.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is different from "Ghost Love", "Ghost Love" can be said to be really not a tragedy, because the hero Sam has already died, and in the end, he also fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

In the ending part, both of them were smiling.

But "A Chinese Ghost Story" is really a love tragedy. Humans and ghosts have different paths, and love cannot be obtained. The deeper the love, the more regrettable and sad.

This is the core of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

How about the plot of a movie, in fact, sometimes it is not the focus, but the focus is on the rendering of love.

Therefore, at the beginning, Li Yi was a little apprehensive and entangled.

In terms of roles, Li Yi has also re-engraved many classic movies, but in those movies, it can be said that apart from the original "Infernal Affairs", it is difficult for the rest to match the two actors of "A Chinese Ghost Story" Than.

This is not just about acting skills. In fact, the two actors in the original version, in terms of acting skills, cannot be said to be truly incomparable, but in terms of role fit, no one is really unparalleled, let alone Beyond the.

In fact, in Li Yi's memory, there are several versions of "A Chinese Ghost Story", including the last two parts of the trilogy, as well as the later remakes, but none of them can match the first one.

Maybe there is indeed a sentimental filter, but the reason why classics are classics is because they cannot be reproduced.

Let's talk about the two main core protagonists of the movie.

The Weak Scholar Ning Caichen: Innocent, kind, infatuated, pure and without the slightest pretense.He has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his temperament is not sharp. On the contrary, he looks shy and timid, with the appearance of a scholar who only cares about himself.It’s not that he’s not afraid of ghosts, otherwise he doesn’t need to light three lanterns when walking at night; but for love, he will also become very brave. After he has a skin relationship with Nie Xiaoqian, he can’t control the thousand-year-old tree demon’s tongue. Long, just hugging his lover and fleeing for his life.

Nie Xiaoqian, with her beautiful appearance, often hides in the dark to grieve alone after doing evil, and suffers from the torment of her conscience; however, when she is in love with Ning Caichen, she becomes shy and pure again.She is resentful and mournful, her blue silk is blowing in the wind, her clothes are fluttering, her soul-stirring eyes release a faint murderous intent, and her long flowing hair and elegant and refined temperament leave a deep impression on people.

Such two roles, performed by two perfectly fitting actors, have become an indelible mark, so that no matter how many remakes the latecomers have, they are far from being able to compare with the original.

Of course, what I have to say is that although the original version was adapted from "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", in fact, it has long since changed beyond recognition.

The setting of the plot is actually lackluster, but the love between the male and female protagonists has made this movie, the love between humans and ghosts, and the filming is extremely pathetic and lingering. This is the reason why this movie can become a classic.

To make this movie, everything else is easy to say, but actor, actor, actor, important things are said three times. This is really difficult for Li Yi.

Because of the elder brother and Nie Xiaoqian in the original version, the former is really irreplaceable, and the latter was called out that there is only one Nie Xiaoqian in the world, which shows how popular the role she played is.

Therefore, for Li Yi, this is also the most difficult.

In fact, in different times, the characteristics of women are different.

Many people say why there are so many beauties in Hong Kong Island Eight 90s?But in the new century, it seems that it is difficult to find one?
Is it because there is really a lack of beautiful women?
the answer is negative.

In fact, there are few beauties in Hong Kong Island in this era?

There are really quite a few, but the good-looking skins are the same, and the interesting souls are one in a thousand.

Why did the beautiful stars of Hong Kong Island in the 90s become the eternal incomparable goddesses in the hearts of Chinese movie fans?

Is it because they look better than modern beauties?

The answer is also no.

It is because, looking at those former beauties, everyone has the unique characteristics of that era, and everyone has rich life experiences. These experiences, as well as their personalities and social environment have created their , has become the eternal goddess in the minds of countless movie fans.

Even if the years go by, even if the face is no longer young, she is still the goddess in people's minds.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" was born in another world in [-]. It can be said that this is a film with a long history.

It has the unique taste of old Hong Kong movies of that era.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is Li Yi's first work after returning to China, and it is still the Chinese version of "Human and Ghost Love". Naturally, although the news has not spread, people have been watching it.

Once the script has passed the review, it will not be said to be well known, but at least it is not a secret.

As a result, the entire entertainment industry became restless.

Li Yi also officially began to screen suitable actors, but it was really difficult for him.

The difficulty lies in the choice of actors. As mentioned above, if this movie wants to make the original taste, the actors are the biggest problem.

After all, there is no such person as my brother in this world, nor is there such a beautiful woman as "there is only one female ghost in the world who can be called Xiaoqian".

Therefore, Li Yi is also very difficult.

I had no choice but to turn to old friends in the circle for help.

For this reason, Li Yi specially invited old friends to a small gathering.

"It's strange, you director Li Da is not busy with your new film, why do you have time to ask us to have a gathering with you?" Chen Wen joked with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention it, I'm having a headache. The new film has high requirements for actors, or they are very special. I have screened for a long time, but I don't think anyone is suitable." Li Yi said with a wry smile.

"Oh? What's so special? Tell me!" Chen Weijie also asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Li Yi curiously.

Li Yi originally wanted to ask these old friends for help, so naturally he wouldn't hide it.

"That's an amorous female ghost in a white dress. Fen Dai's gorgeous face and graceful figure, in the blackness of night, flowing in the phantasmagoric blue night forest, seduced by her femininity, is a thousand-year-old old man The dryad was looking for a strong man, and at the moment when he was half-pushed, the bell on the female ghost's feet rang, and the wind gusted and the situation changed. The thousand-year-old dryad came from nowhere and quickly sucked up the man's flesh and blood... ..."

Li Yi started talking.

These old friends of Li Yi are all seniors in the circle, so immediately, they constructed some pictures in their minds.

It's just that the way they looked at Li Yi became a little weird.

Because this is indeed completely different from the style of Li Yi's past films.

Why do you say that?

Li Yi's past movies may have comedies, tragedies, or other elements, but they rarely have such pure desire plots.

Because since Li Yi said it, it must be filmed like this.

It is conceivable that the picture must be extremely fragrant.

From Li Yi's description alone, although it is only an opening chapter, it makes everyone understand why Li Yi said that actors are hard to find.

Don't underestimate the passionate female ghost. These four words are simple to say, but when combined with the picture described by Li Yi, it is really not simple.

"Did you go to Hollywood to get enlightened?" Chen Wen couldn't help but said.

Li Yi glared at him angrily, and continued.

"But it's such a sentimental female ghost who happens to meet a stupid and stubborn scholar. This is a suave and handsome man wearing a square scarf and a long gown.

When a scholar meets a girl who looks like a fairy, he will always fall in love, not to mention that Xiaoqian deliberately seduced her from the beginning.But when she met such a foolish scholar like him, she became innocent, the sound of the piano that was supposed to remind her to die hid her spring, and the hair that strangled her neck was also docile behind her.Seeing his face clearly with the reflection of the lake surface, an infatuation had already been drawn between his brows and eyes.

Thus, a love between man and ghost happened without warning.

Lanruo Temple.An abandoned temple that makes people turn pale.Placed in a dark corner of the forest.Collapsed walls, dilapidated windows, heads all over the place, and crows all over the sky.In such a deserted place, a stupid and stubborn scholar came to lodge alone.

The encounter between humans and ghosts is not romantic.But there are more crying and tears, more regrets and sighs, more heartbreak and pain.

The sound of the qin on the waterside pavilions with low gauze curtains flutters faintly in the boundless night, like a faint blue smoke draining in the quiet space.The female ghost, dressed in light gauze and cloudy clothes, sits in front of the case and plays the piano in the faint incense smoke.At this moment, all kinds of charming and charming styles spread in the boundless night.

Silly scholars came after looking for it, and a snow, moon, wind, cloud and rain in Wushan was inevitable.The amorous female ghost did not ring the bell between her feet.Because love has grown secretly in the heart.

But after all, people and ghosts go their own way.After all, the female ghost is not the scholar's lovebird Shuangfeiyan.The female ghost will be forced to marry the Montenegrin old demon.

But the stupid scholar was stubborn and stubborn, and decided to save the female ghost from the sea of ​​suffering and reincarnation, so he joined the old Taoist priests of Lanruo Temple to cast down demons and eliminate demons. "

Li Yi stopped here again.

Let everyone take advantage of this plot.

In fact, Li Yi didn't say much, and it wasn't that detailed, but all the old actors present here have experienced countless ups and downs, so they can naturally hear a lot from it.

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped involuntarily.

"Although this is somewhat similar to "Human and Ghost Love", but it seems to be completely different!"

"A scholar falls in love with a female ghost, and a female ghost falls in love with a scholar. Everyone understands it, but I'm not sure how to interpret that taste!" Chen Weijie said suddenly.

"Now I somewhat understand why you said actors are hard to find." Chen Wen also nodded thoughtfully.

Li Yi continued: "The sky is getting brighter, the clouds are clearing and the fog is clearing. The morning sun leaks into the hut through the gaps in the dilapidated paper windows. The female ghost lingers beside her urn: she can be reborn as a human being when she returns to the urn. In the jar, there is an eternal parting, and the scholar will never be seen again in this life.

The scholar hurriedly closed the window, blocked the sunlight with his body, wept while urging the female ghost to return to her urn as soon as possible...

A little thinking, a little looking back, a little looking back, so we never see each other again. "

Although there were not many words, everyone was silent.

Chu Xuexiang finally couldn't help breaking the calm: "No wonder everyone says you are a dog director! It can be a happy ending, but you like to make people and ghosts go different ways, and live and die! This kind of choice is really too cruel !"

"So, it just confirmed what the fans said: Director Dog, it's you!" Chen Wen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Okay, I'm done telling the story, tell me, this silly scholar and Nie Xiaoqian, do you have any recommendations for suitable candidates?" Li Yi has long been immune to this.

Anyway, he has been said countless times, and he doesn't care anymore.

"You'll meet at this moment, I really can't think of anyone who is suitable for these two roles." Everyone was also a little embarrassed.

"Tell me, what are your requirements? Needless to say about acting skills, come to think of it, your requirements are not limited to acting skills!"

Li Yi pondered for a moment, but many people's evaluations of his brother and Wang Meiren appeared in his mind.

The first moment someone saw him, they couldn't help but say: This is Ning Caichen, gentle and slightly bookish, honest and upright.

Don't underestimate gentleness and honesty. You must know that the temperament described by these two words is completely different.

How can a gentle scholar be honest and honest?
It's like a handsome young man is often praised as gentle and refined, but who would describe a gentle and refined person as simple and honest?
But for the role of Ning Caichen, after watching the elder brother's Ning Caichen, everyone has such a complicated and contradictory feeling.

Of course, from Li Yi's point of view, the elder brother can perfectly interpret Ning Caichen, making people completely confused, wondering whether he is the elder brother or Ning Caichen.

What Li Yi likes most is his brother's eyes, because he feels that they are always complicated and soft, with joy, anger, sorrow, joy, sorrow and sorrow. When he thinks of his life, he can't help but sigh, maybe this is why his life is like a drama, and drama is like life The reason for it!
And what about Nie Xiaoqian?

"Before I finished my words, seventeen or eighteen women came, as if they were absolutely gorgeous."

This is Pu Songling's description of the beauty of Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost in Lanruo Temple.

The four words "as if gorgeous" are so beautiful that it makes people's hearts itch. The beauty of these four words lies in the word "as if". It is always more beautiful and more fascinating than what is clear.

Nie Xiaoqian's aesthetic principle is based on this, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a white dress floats by, leaving a trace of skirt in front of the big screen, adding an eternal magical beauty to the film and television cameras.Weird, but also beautiful——Nie Xiaoqian.

And Xiaoqian played by Wang Meiren captured the audience's hearts with "amazing beauty". The whole film is filled with a strange and sad romance and freedom. nostalgia.

That white dress is like cold smoke covering the moonlight, not stained by the snow and frost of the world.Her bright eyes are flowing, and her smile is full of sorrow. The female ghost in Pu Songling's works should be so cold and resentful.At the same time, she is also a charming ghost, with jade bones and icy muscles exuding wisps of amorous feelings through the light veil, which unintentionally seduces all beings.A smile of Wan Guchun, a cry of Wan Gu's sorrow, that's it.
