tearjerker director

Chapter 1284 Your justice is too much like me when I was young
Jiang Qinghe is actually not very old, but he has a lot of experience. Although he is not born with a boyish air like his brother, he has an ancient charm, a bookishness, and a bookishness that is different from modern scholars.

Of course, what really made Li Yi think that he might give it a try was that his eyes were very agile, different from his brother's richness of joy, anger, sorrow, joy, sorrow, and sorrow, but they were the same pair of eye-catching eyes. Unforgettable eyes.

"I especially like the Ning Caichen you described, and of course Xu Xian! I think these two characters are probably the most successful transsexual (ghost) characters ever portrayed." Jiang Qinghe said.

"Oh? Why?" Li Yi was rather curious.

"I have come into contact with these two stories when I was a child. At first glance, they seem to have no sense of existence, and they feel more like a foil. For Xu Xian, I only remember his incompetence and long-windedness, and for Ning Caichen, I only remember his old-fashioned On the contrary, I was deeply impressed by the two beautiful heroines. The Nie Xiaoqian described in the story is glamorous and charming, and the white lady is even more beautiful, and their abilities are stronger than the heroine in the story. , Many critical moments often have greater autonomy, and they often give more help to the man." Jiang Qinghe obviously has researched these two stories.

The fact is the same, in fact, whether it is "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" or "The Legend of the White Snake", what people remember more deeply is often Nie Xiaoqian, or Bai Suzhen, the thousand-year-old snake demon, rather than Ning Caichen or Xu Xian.

"What about now?" Li Yi asked.

"Actually, I haven't read much about the story of "Nie Xiaoqian", because in the original version, the ending always feels a bit absurd, but the ending of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in Pu Songling's "Nie Xiaoqian" is perfect.

Ning Caichen took Xiaoqian back to his hometown, and Xiaoqian lived with them.She is popular, can eat Yangjian food, and has three children.

I don't really like this kind of ending, because humans and ghosts have different paths, and it involves the love between humans and ghosts. The happy ending always feels like a fairy tale.

As for Xu Xian, I had no feelings for him in the past, but looking at it now, my childhood impression has been reversed.They are no longer the foil of childhood impressions, but the soul of the whole story. Their dedication to love surpasses the two heroines in my opinion.We know that the two heroines are heterogeneous, with some abilities beyond ordinary people, and the two heroines are ordinary people, let's put ourselves in their shoes and think about it, many things are impossible for us to do.

After Xu Xian's wife was trapped in Leifeng Pagoda, he insisted on abandoning his family and children, and he also gave up the way of accumulating virtue by curing diseases and saving lives, and chose to be with the green lantern.When I saw some comments, I would scold him for being stupid, saying that the merits of curing illnesses and saving lives in this world are better than reciting some scriptures that don't hurt or itch all day in the temple, and taking care of children.But who understands the pain in Xu Xian's heart, he is so kind to him, such a beautiful and virtuous wife did not treat her well, but made her suffer because of his own reasons, and was crushed under the Leifeng Pagoda.

As for Ning Caichen, I don't know how the story you adapted, Director Li, is like, but I don't think it should follow the original ending, right? "Jiang Qinghe looked at Li Yi curiously.

Li Yi smiled, and then handed him a copy of the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Look, tell me how you feel!"

Jiang Qinghe took it and looked at it impatiently.

Of course, what Li Yi gave him was a literary script, which seemed more intuitive.

When I saw: the scholar hurriedly closed the window, blocked the sunlight with his body, wept while urging the female ghost to return to her ashes urn quickly... a little thinking, a little looking back, a little looking back, so, never again met.

Jiang Qinghe's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears!

"Good, good, good!" He said three good words again and again.

"Although this Ning Caichen is not as wise as in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", it makes people feel a thicker sense of reality, and the ending is really good!"

"Although Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen were rescued by Yan Chixia, they escaped from birth but failed to find a lover. Although the two people in "Human and Ghost Different Ways" fulfilled their love, they still had to part sadly. Ning Caichen I didn’t even get to see Xiaoqian for the last time. After Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia continued to drive their horses away to the end of the world. Such a tragic ending is the embodiment of oriental aesthetics. The culture has been enduring for a long time, and no matter how powerful human intervention is, it can't match the wheel of fate.

As the saying goes, "sometimes in fate, there must be something in fate, and there is no time in fate, don't force it." Eastern fatalism, which emphasizes optimism and knowing fate, does not appreciate the Western saying that "fate is in one's own hands."Manpower may change the fate of Jincheng a little, but it cannot change the ending.Just like in Li Daoyi's earlier "A Chinese Journey to the West", Monkey King travels through 500 years and goes against the sky several times, but in the end he still has to succumb to fate.Nie Xiaoqian also couldn't resist her own destiny.Let Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's unrequited love end forever and part with Liming, which just confirms the saying that only the incomplete is beautiful. "

Li Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

Sure enough, people with a little ink in their stomachs like to abuse!

The story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is actually not that famous in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio". After all, there are too many love stories between humans and demons, and humans and ghosts in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio".

Compared with "Nie Xiaoqian", stories such as Ying Ning are more outstanding.

But after the adaptation, the chapter of "Nie Xiaoqian", which was not so eye-catching at first, has become a well-known story.

In Li Yi's view, the ending is indeed the finishing touch.

After that, it was a simple audition.

What surprised Li Yi was that although Jiang Qinghe seemed to be incompatible with Ning Caichen at all, when he acted, there was no sense of disobedience, which surprised him a little.

After several more auditions, Li Yi finally decided on Jiang Qinghe to play the role of Ning Caichen.

After the male and female protagonists are selected, the preliminary preparations for "A Chinese Ghost Story" can basically be declared complete.

In fact, the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was much more troublesome than "Ghost Love".

Because there are many scenes in it, they all need to be built by themselves.

Convincing Huadao and so on also need Li Yilai to set the style.

No matter what, the team of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has finally been formed.

Although the film has not yet officially started, Li Yi organized the first script reading.

Some movies may not need to be so troublesome, but for a play like "A Chinese Ghost Story", script reading is undoubtedly necessary.

"Come on, everyone, talk about your own thoughts, um, you can speak out if you have any questions." Li Yi said with a smile.

It has been a while since the script has been distributed to everyone. Sometimes, actors not only need to interpret their own roles, but also need to take into account the entire movie, because only by figuring out these things can they truly understand the characters.

Chen Wen was the first to raise his hand. He recommended himself to play Yan Chixia, because he fell in love with this character when he read the script.

But he was a little puzzled: "What kind of social background is this? I don't understand. Also, why do I feel that apart from Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, other characters, including Yan Chixia, are deliberately playing ugly?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.

In fact, this is also what puzzled everyone. There was a make-up meeting before, and Li Yi specifically asked for it to be ugly.

Especially the makeup and image design of Yan Chixia and other supporting roles can be said to have completely subverted their cognition, ugly, and ugly!
No, at this time, another actor playing Xiahou, Yang Zheng raised his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Wen, actually my character is not ugly!"

"Hahaha!"

There was another burst of laughter, not to mention, indeed, among the characters in the whole film, the one who didn't pretend to be ugly was actually Xia Hou.

Of course, in reality, although Yan Chixia was ugly, she was at least human, while the others were really ugly.

"Let me explain. After reading the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story", what kind of society do you think they live in?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"This, chaos?"

"Stupid and worldly?"

"."

Everyone said what you said, and I said what I said, but it was almost a feeling, that is, it was an extremely dark, oppressive and hopeless world.

Li Yi nodded: "I did it on purpose, how should I put it? Mainly I want to use these, through the ugliness of these people, to reflect the ignorant and secular human form living in the chaotic era that has been distorted with the times.

In my mind, the market in the film is full of butcher-like warriors, savagely arresting people; the ugliest tricksters, the ugly magistrates who speak local dialect.
They are not only ugly, but I also hope that they can form a suffocating picture of a repressive and disgusting social atmosphere. Everyone is so godless, living like that but smelling like a dead body.

And why is Xiahou different from others?Because Xia Hou, who is dedicated to chasing the false name of the best sword in the world, is much more human than others. After all, he has his own clear pursuit, and this pursuit is very high compared with those of those ugly people in the market; I want Through these, it is shown that in that perverted society, ugliness has become the norm, while beauty only exists in the hearts of the hermits who don’t care about world affairs and the poor scholars who are bullied everywhere and are treated as jokes with their lives by the ugliness in this society. Isn't this the greatest tragedy of society?
Therefore, the dryad who has practiced for thousands of years can also declare in a high-profile manner that he is doing justice for the sky and eliminating harm for the society; thus, Yan Chixia laments that he is a human but does not want to be a human, and Xiaoqian is a ghost but wants to be a human; thus, the most touching Only love can appear between humans and ghosts
In fact, there is nothing in this society that can be soul-stirring in the hard disk, and everyone has drifted with the tide, not knowing where their hearts are.Like a pool of stagnant water, there are no more touching stories to tell.Therefore, the ups and downs of the story happened logically at the dark edge of society, where the true feelings of love and hate and innocent personality can be found, and a mysterious corner of beauty is finally reserved in this world.Because of this, the story of ghosts and people in Lanruo Temple in the deep forest fascinates me, even though the story is ups and downs and terrifying.

Everyone pursues beauty and security in their hearts. When they can't have both, what would you choose? "

When everyone heard the words, some were confused, and some were thoughtful.

"Brother, what kind of person do you think Yan Chixia is?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"He, I think, he looks a bit like an angry youth!" Chen Wen said after pondering for a moment.

"Indignant personality?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Yes, to be precise, he is full of justice, full of chivalry, and he is good at fighting injustice. But there are too many injustices in the world, and there are endless things to control, so that he wants to escape from the world and live in the mountains.

The chivalrous person is a person or behavior that helps the bullied with his own strength, but in the development process of China's extensive and profound chivalrous culture that has lasted for 2000 years, it has added robbing the rich and helping the poor, punishing the strong and helping the weak, acting bravely, and self-sacrifice to help others. and other forms of expression, as well as spiritual connotations such as loyalty, integrity, bravery and fearlessness, and no return, and derived some people who do this as a career, called chivalrous men.

Li Bai, a well-known chivalrous man in history, claimed to be "a white horse with a frosty sword, killing thousands of miles". At least we believe that chivalry is a kind of heroic spirit, which exists in Li Bai's poems, invisible but felt.

In our story, Yan Chixia, with her belief in justice and her passion for justice, takes restoring justice and maintaining kindness as her duty. Evil promotes good, becoming the protector of people like Ning Caichen who also believe in justice and kindness, and also becoming an invisible supervisor who deters the government from avoiding or mitigating corruption. opponent of evil.

The reason why I like this character is because I think Yan Chixia is the most unique in the whole film. He is the defender of the human world, but he is the hero Yan Chi who is not accepted by the government and demons. Xia.

In my opinion, Ning Caichen's appearance only brought out the phenomenon that the weak are being bullied, and it is Yan Chixia who solves this problem.

What Ning Caichen has is only kindness. According to the words in the story, he has "love", and his love comes from himself. If he didn't have love with Xiaoqian, would he take care of the fire and water that has nothing to do with him? ?
No, he was just desperately trying to help his own people out of the predicament. Without Yan Chixia's guidance, even Xiaoqian couldn't be saved.

And Yan Chixia kept saying that she would no longer care about Jianghu affairs, but her strong sense of mission made him never stay out of it when she saw someone in need of help. She kept saying that she didn't care about Ning Caichen, but not only saved Ning Caichen's life again and again, And further saved Xiaoqian and others, and tried their best to fight against the Millennium Tree Demon, one of the evil forces, and completely eradicated the old Montenegro demon. It has nothing to do with my own interests, but to calm my heart that was beating violently because of chivalrous injustice.

My favorite hero Yan Chixia.I like the line where he hugged Ning Caichen and cried bitterly, "Your justice is so similar to me when I was young, I was so moved." He is grateful to others only because of their kindness. "
