398: After Qin Shiyue, There Is No Nie Xiaoqian (2)

A scene of snow, moon, wind, flowers, Wushan clouds and rain ended with beautiful songs. However, humans and ghosts have different paths. Nie Xiaoqian was worried that Ning Caichen would be discovered by the thousand-year-old tree demon, so she asked him to leave Lanruo Temple. On the way, he met Yan Chixia again. He mistakenly thought that Yan Chixia was the murderer Liu Yidao, so he rushed back to the county government of Guobei County to report to the authorities overnight.

When the county magistrate appeared, the whole theater was surprised.

Zhou Lingwei, Chen Gan, and Chu Pianpian stared at Jiang Ge with wide eyes and open mouths.

That's right, Jiang Ge played the county magistrate.

"Uh..." Jiang Ge faced his girlfriend and friends with questioning eyes, and immediately said: "Well, I was forced to join the army."

One day, I went to the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and they happened to be filming this scene. Zhou Mulong was originally going to play a cameo role, but he couldn't play it after several takes. Zhou Mulong asked him to talk about how to play it. At first, he just talked about the play, and he had never refused to act, but there was no role that he particularly liked or was particularly suitable for. The original county magistrate was played by Wang Jing, a very interesting little character. In the end, he was reluctant to play it.

"Hiss..." Jiang Ge suddenly took a breath, and a slight pain came from his arm. It was Zhou Lingwei's hand that was twisted.

"You even hid it from me!" Zhou Lingwei took back her hand.

"I thought it was just a cameo role, so I didn't tell you." Jiang Ge laughed dryly.

"I'll deal with you when I get back!" Zhou Lingwei rolled her eyes at him.

At this time, the expressions on the faces of the audience were full of expectations in addition to surprise.

In the picture, Jiang Ge, with a beard and wearing loose official uniform, looked like he hadn't woken up yet. He said to Zhang Fucheng in the hall: "You want me to go to court at three o'clock in the morning, and I don't have a penny for the official fee. I will be beaten with thirty sticks first!"

The master added fuel to the fire and pointed at Zhang Fucheng and shouted: "Double, sixty sticks!"

Zhang Fucheng was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Sir, you must not beat me. If you beat me, I will forget everything."

Jiang Ge held a pipe, squinted his eyes, and looked like a corrupt official. He asked the master: "Did you give me money?"

The master whispered: "How can I give it if I don't beat you."

Jiang Ge suddenly widened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Fucheng, saying: "Hurry up and beat me!"

"Hahahaha..."

There are not many funny points in this part, but Jiang Ge's unexpected performance is too funny.

"Is this a ghost movie?"

"To be precise, it should be a 'funny love ghost movie'."

"To be honest, Mr. Jiang's acting is good, and the character image is portrayed vividly."

"Focusing on the psychological activities and changes of small people is often more acceptable than extreme cases."

"Well acted, keep acting next time!"

"There are only zero times and countless times in acting."

...

Ding Ge's big screen debut brought different surprises to the audience.

They felt that he had a pair of eyes that were good at expressing to the audience. The county magistrate in the film had fewer roles and could not use more words and body movements to convey the message, but he still did it, turning laziness, greed, and lack of morality into a "play" through a pair of "good at expressing" eyes.

For a moment, they even felt that he could definitely become a "performing artist."

Of course, this was just wishful thinking of the audience.

After laughing, some people connected several plots together and thought deeply.

The essence of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is nothing more than three points. First, it exposes the darkness of society, second, it exposes the greed of officials, and third, it exposes the drawbacks of the imperial examination.

Jiang Ge has integrated all these essences into "A Chinese Ghost Story". The head of the police can arrest people at will, the swordsman can kill people at will, and the county magistrate can even be greedy openly. Besides, Ning Caichen, a scholar, can actually fall to such a state. It seems that all people only want to have enough food and clothing, and ghosts only want to be buried. Even Yan Chixia, a peerless master, can't stand the dangers of this world and chooses to retire to the mountains. The irony is just like this.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" should be an entertainment film with strange stories of supernatural powers and ghosts as the plot, telling the story of human-ghost love.

But looking at the subtitles of this series, you will know that it is not that simple.

The subtitle of the first part is called "The Way of Demons", the subtitle of the second part is called "The Way of Humans", and the subtitle of the third part is called "The Way of Dao".

The interlude "Dao Dao Dao" in the film, on the surface, shows the heroic and unrestrained sword dance of Yan Chixia after drinking. But if you look closely at the lyrics, "When the evil ways come, the side ways make money, and I can't be human. The ocean thieves are rampant and tyrannical. Ghosts cry and gods cry. Jackals are in power." More than ten idioms are used in a row, and there is not a good word. In the end, they can only sigh "I seek my own way", which is nothing more than a negative choice of world-weary seclusion.

So "Yao Mo Dao" seems to be talking about ghosts and gods, but in fact it sighs about the turmoil of troubled times.

After a short period of distraction, he was once again involved in the plot.

Ning Caichen finally learned that Yan Chixia was a ruthless judge who was famous in 26 provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and retired from the arena because he couldn't stand corrupt officials. Then, he learned from Yan Chixia that Nie Xiaoqian was a ghost.

Yan Chixia, who takes it as his duty to eliminate demons and defend the way of morality, believes that all ghosts are murderous demons. Before he was moved by the true love between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, he repeatedly tried to kill Nie Xiaoqian, wanting to kill her as soon as possible.

On Nie Xiaoqian's side, the ghosts, led by the thousand-year-old tree demon, kept forcing her to get rid of Ning Caichen through Nie Xiaoqian.

Their love was so hard and sad, but also so unforgettable.

But this stubborn and stubborn poor scholar still decided to save the miserable female ghost from the sea of ​​suffering and be reincarnated.

Returning to Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen finally met Nie Xiaoqian again, and the two expressed their love for each other. However, the thousand-year-old tree demon's grandma had long since distrusted Nie Xiaoqian and wanted to marry her to the old Black Mountain demon and personally came to kill Ning Caichen. , fortunately Yan Chixia arrived in time to save them.

In the face, the big tongue surrounded the whole room, disgusting and terrifying.

"How dare you come and snatch the meat from my mouth!" The thousand-year-old tree demon grandma was furious.

"Hmph!" Yan Chixia chuckled, protecting Ning Caichen behind her and said, "I don't care if you kill those bad guys, but this scholar is slim and graceful, with windy sleeves and embroidered legs. He can't use what he has learned and has accomplished nothing..."

With that said, he turned to Ning Caichen and whispered: "Hey, what other advantages do you have?"

Ning Caichen said awkwardly: "You spoke too well of me."

Yan Chixia said "Ouch" and said: "I don't brag, how can I suppress her!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

advantage?

good?

Do you have a misunderstanding about "advantages" and "goodness"?

Yan Chixiaben, played by Feng Hongyuan, has an iron sword and a curly beard. She has a clear sense of right and wrong, and a hatred of evil. With her righteous belief and passion, she takes it as her own duty to uphold justice and kill demons. She is so serious and funny that it makes people happy.

Yan Chixia touched Ning Caichen's chest and said to the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma: "If you want to kill him, you just don't give me face!"

The thousand-year-old tree demon grandma snorted: "(female voice) Then if you kill my maid, (male voice) you will not give me face!"

Yan Chixia made a face and said "Lue Luo Luo": "Damn old lady, we don't care about face, we can see the skills in our hands, do it, Luo Luo!"

The thousand-year-old tree demon grandma was so angry that her veins were exposed and she stuck out a long tongue.

Ning Caichen said "Ah", "Her tongue is longer than yours!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was another burst of laughter in the cinema.

These are not "heroes" and "scholars", they should be "old naughty boys" and "little naughty boys".

After a hard fight, Yan Chixia defeated the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma, but Nie Xiaoqian was also taken away by the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma.

"Xiaoqian!"

Ning Caichen shouted desperately towards the hole.

Yan Chixia pulled him back and cursed: "There is a world for people, and there is a ghost world for ghosts. People should not interfere in the affairs of ghosts. This monster has been broken for thousands of years by me. Although she is deeply rooted, it will take a hundred years." Only then can you come out to harm others, you know? Don’t worry about other things.”

Ning Caichen said: "You are wrong. I must save Xiaoqian. I want to bring her ashes to the countryside so that she can be reincarnated and start a new life. I know that humans and ghosts are involved..."

As he said that, he knelt down in front of Yan Chixia and said, "But why not help if you can? If you don't help her, no one can save her."

Just when everyone thought that Yan Chixia would not be moved by this kind of moral kidnapping, Yan Chixia helped Ning Caichen up and said, "You bastard, how can you still have so much love? I’m tired, why are there such unrealistic people like you in this world? When I was young, I also had so many fantasies like you..."

After a brief pause, he actually said something shocking, saying: "I need love more than you, bastard, I'm touched by you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter started again in the movie theater.

A very cute old man. Although he was tired of the world as a young man and retired to the barren mountains, he kept saying that he ignored foreign affairs. However, whenever evil forces appeared, he never stayed out of it. He said that he didn't care about Ning Caichen, but in fact he saved Ning Caichen time and time again. He took Ning Caichen's life, and also tried his best to destroy the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma. Now he wants to save Nie Xiaoqian. He is fighting for the morality of the world. His efforts have nothing to do with interests. Some of them are just to calm himself down. The heart that beats fiercely because of chivalry.

Things seemed to be going well. Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia dug out Nie Xiaoqian's ashes. Later, when they arrived at a hotel, Nie Xiaoqian showed up and expressed her gratitude and love.

While the two were talking, Yan Chixia discovered that something was wrong with the hotel. What was steaming in the pot were human heads and the walls were made of skeletons. But before she could escape, Nie Xiaoqian was forcibly recalled to the underworld by the old demon from Montenegro.

Accompanied by exciting music, Yan Chixia took Ning Caichen into the underworld.

Next is the special effects scene where the special effects department spent the most energy and money. The original version was shot in 1987, but now in 2024, the special effects scene is naturally better and more shocking.

The underworld is unusually silent, the yin energy is particularly heavy, and there is a vague aura of darkness. The huge trees are like tombstones, and the piles of mutilated bones are scattered on the ground, which looks a bit strange in the dim environment. horrible.

As soon as Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen finished looking around, they saw flickering green flames lighting up in the distance, densely packed, heading towards them.

When I got closer, I realized that it was not a green flame at all, but row after row, like a neat square array, with countless Yin soldiers!

The green light is actually the eyes of these Yin soldiers. Their expressions are cold, they are holding weapons and their feet are not touching the ground. They are light and very penetrating.

The whole scene was full of imagination. The audience gasped, and the timid ones even raised their hands to cover their eyes. Just now, they thought it was a comedy or romance film, but in a blink of an eye, it became a real one. Ghost movie.

There are many film and television clips of underworld scenes shot on Blue Star, but none of them are so spine-chilling and shuddering, as if they were that legendary place.

Zhou Lingwei and Chu Pianpian were so frightened that they leaned their heads into the arms of their respective boyfriends.

Even Chen Qian, who had always been bold, was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva.

And the most calm person in the entire theater is Django. This level of terror is nothing to worry about.

The final battle with the old demon of Montenegro was also filled in based on the original version, and many fighting scenes were added, which made the audience enjoy it.

Justice finally defeated evil. After Yan Chixia was seriously injured, she returned to Nie Xiaoqian.

The sky is getting brighter and the clouds are clearing.

The morning sunlight leaked into the hut through the cracks of the broken paper window. Ning Caichen hurriedly closed the window and blocked the sunlight coming through the crack with his body. While crying, he urged: "Xiaoqian, hurry up... come back quickly. Go inside the urn!”

Nie Xiaoqian lingered by her own urn, thinking a lot, looking back, looking back, and said with tears in her eyes: "Caichen, I'm leaving. I can't see you again."

Ning Caichen pressed hard against the window that was about to fall, and murmured: "Xiaoqian, you have to be a good person, I will always remember you."

Seeing that he didn't turn around, Nie Xiaoqian sobbed: "Unexpectedly, I won't be able to see you for the last time. You have to take care of yourself."

Just then, singing started.

"Li Ming, please don't come.

Let the dream exist forever tonight

Let this moment be real

Follow this love

Command the soul to welcome in..."

Just this sentence "Li Ming, please don't come" can already make people cry. Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost. Returning to the jar can lead to a new life. But returning to the jar means eternal farewell. Ning Cai will never be seen again in this life. I surrender.

After lovers have gone through hardships and tribulations, what they are waiting for is not to stay together forever and grow old together, but to never see each other again.

"Please tell Dawn not to come again.

Now the feeling of romance puts me outside the floating world

The warmth of the breeze

Sending love in the cold rain

Silently let infatuation break through the obstacles..."

The long erhu sound is like the sorrow of separation, which is heartbreaking.

Love each other but cannot stay together. This kind of love is so embarrassing!

“Don’t allow the red sun to teach people to separate

Don’t leave on a long, good night

Please order me to stop showing off my beauty at dawn

Nowadays, dreamy poetry can never be replaced

My heart opens gently

Holding you in the dark

Don't let the morning glow leak in. "

When the singing stopped, Yan Chixia's voice came: "She has left."

Ning Caichen turned around suddenly, the window fell to the ground, and he called out "Xiaoqian" eagerly, but all he saw was the urn on the ground.

The story will always end, and the dawn will still come. People and ghosts have different paths. This is a fact that no one can reverse.

In the heavy music, Mei Manlu performed the earth-shattering and touching love story between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian with tears in her eyes.

He met her, missed her, loved her, and waited, but what he got in exchange was the separation of yin and yang. Years later, will she still remember that there was a man who drew her eyebrows and combed her hair, read and wrote poems for her, and wrote poems for her? Entering the underworld...

In fact, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not tailor-made for "A Chinese Ghost Story". By chance, it was used by Tsui Hark as a film insert. At the Hong Kong Film Awards, "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were both It was nominated at the same time, but in the end it was "Don't Come at Dawn" that won, with the theme song losing to the interlude, which is enough to prove the charm of this song.

"Woooooooooo..."

suddenly.

In his ears, there was a low cry.
