Soon "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released nationwide.
There are very few supernatural elements in domestic films, and most of those domestic horror films end up being hallucinations.
In fact, even if it is an adaptation of a famous book or folk mythology, although many requirements have been relaxed, it is also a channel to break through the red line, but in fact, there are really very few people who have actually done it and succeeded. .
So every time there is a wonderful supernatural film released overseas, and some films with supernatural elements are changed into hallucinations, people will always complain about a certain big scissors, such as when "The Love of Ghosts" was released, such as "The Sixth" When "Sense" was released, almost all domestic netizens condemned it.
But this time "A Chinese Ghost Story" finally came belatedly and revealed the true face of Lushan.
Everyone has a desire for wonder, especially such a rare and truly supernatural film. For domestic audiences, it is really a long-awaited one.
Of course, expectations are high.
In fact, this is also the reason why some movies often break through the red line, but end up with poor reputation, because the more something is missing, the higher the expectations are often.
After "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, and even Yan Chixia became popular all of a sudden.
On the Internet, Nie Xiaoqian is known as the synonym for a real female ghost.
"Starting from today, I can announce that Nie Xiaoqian will be the best spokesperson for female ghosts from now on!"
"There's nothing wrong with the one upstairs. You're stunned in the first scene, aren't you? Director Gou's vision is really vicious. An actress who clearly doesn't look like an ancient beauty suddenly turns into a sentimental one in his hands. She’s a female ghost, and she’s really evil!”
"When it comes to female ghosts, no one has an intuitive first impression before. After "A Chinese Ghost Story", I believe that whenever female ghosts are mentioned, everyone's first reaction will definitely be Nie Xiaoqian! Awesome Klass!"
Then there is Ning Caichen!
"Undead Knight Ning Caichen!"
This is of course a joke by netizens, but in fact, there have been quite a few so-called undead knights in the past few years, but Ning Caichen has been crowned with this name in a grand manner, which is worth pondering. .
Netizens’ evaluation of Ning Caichen is also particularly interesting.
"I discovered for the first time that a man doesn't have to be very brave, he doesn't have to have abdominal muscles (Ning Caichen definitely doesn't have them), and he doesn't have to be highly skilled in martial arts to be so charming!"
“Although it looks a little cute, it’s very tasty, isn’t it?”
"Ning Caichen's greatest characteristic is that he understands women!"
In different eras, there are huge differences in three views, but some things are the same.
And the comments from film critics have become more and more interesting.
"This is a movie in which every character is obviously abnormal, but together they become very harmonious.
This is also an interpretation of the ancient version of Diaosi's counterattack against Bai Fumei.
This is the story of a normal man, an abnormal female ghost, and a Taoist priest who is not doing his job properly.
First of all, why are every character so abnormal?
Let’s look at the characters in the order they appear.
First of all, Ning Caichen, the absolute male protagonist of this movie, who is he?
He is a weak scholar, there is nothing wrong with that, right? Why do you say he is abnormal?
Because what is a weak scholar supposed to do?
In our traditional understanding, a weak scholar should study hard in a cold window at home, not listening to what is going on outside the window, and only focusing on reading books by sages.
But in the movie, what does our weak scholar do? To collect the bill, this is extremely abnormal.
Then there is Xia Hou. Well, in fact, in my opinion, this is probably the only normal human character in the entire movie.
He is a martial arts master, but his wallet was stolen. Doesn't he, Xiahou, have no face? So killing is justified!
He was seduced by a female ghost. Who the hell can resist a hot-blooded man?
Let's look at it again. When you look at those people in the market, you should think that they are definitely not normal people, so I won't go into details.
Then, the key point comes, the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, is she normal? It's obviously not normal.
What should the female ghost do? Of course it's harmful, isn't it obvious? But because of being a scholar, she actually stopped being a ghost.
Yan Chixia, this guy is the most problematic person. He has such high martial arts skills, but in order to avoid the world, he came to Lanruo Temple. Isn't this nonsense? He can't hide anywhere, but he hides in such a ghost place.
Can a normal martial arts master live in seclusion in a place like this where a bird doesn't have diarrhea?
But why do they say they are so harmonious when put together?
This is about the world. A normal scholar should study hard in order to get a name on the gold medal list. But such a world has long been broken. What is the use of studying hard? To obtain fame?
Look at the virtues of that county magistrate. This kind of worldly behavior is like giving food to a scholar.
Therefore, it was normal for him to ask for the account. After all, he had to eat. After all, Han Chuang studied hard and was destined to fail in this world.
The main drama is here, why do we say a normal man, an abnormal female ghost, and then paired with a Taoist priest who is not doing his job properly?
Before Ning Caichen appeared, everything in Lanruo Temple was normal. It could be said that it had a complete industrial chain and a complete set of self-justifying logic.
Of course Xia Hou is a normal man, so when he sees a female ghost like Nie Xiaoqian deliberately seducing her, how can he withstand it?
But in fact, it's because Xiahou really doesn't understand women, or in other words, it can be highlighted here. It's terrible to be uneducated.
Because he got the wrong person, who is Nie Xiaoqian? When she was alive, she was a lady, so what does it mean to be a lady? It’s just that she is an educated girl.
You're such a bigot, and you don't show restraint to others when you first come up, and you don't talk to them about Shakespeare or anything like that. You just want to go straight to your stomach, so what else is there to say? How can any lady fall in love with such an uneducated bastard? He didn't even have a specific occupation, so he was disappointed!
Where is Ning Caichen? In fact, he is a serious man of culture. He is a scholar in ancient times. A scholar is full of ink. It is said that the beauty in books is like jade, so he really understands women.
Isn't he lustful? In fact, there is no difference between him and Xia Hou in essence. They are both men, and he is also lustful.
When he heard the sound of the piano for the first time, why did he take the initiative to look for it?
It's not just because the piano player is a girl, but the singer is a girl. If it were a man, he would probably curse him while playing the piano in the middle of the night. Does he still have a sense of public morality? I have to go to work tomorrow!
Therefore, he is also lustful, and it is definitely not just out of curiosity.
Moreover, Ning Caichen was definitely a master among masters when it came to treating girls. Xiahou was not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Why do you say that?
When Ning Caichen saw Nie Xiaoqian for the first time, he was actually fascinated by the female ghost, so the blade flew away.
If Nie Xiaoqian were an ugly person, or if she were an indifferent person like Dryad Granny, Ning Caichen would probably be scared away on the spot. Therefore, everyone loves beauty.
When a scholar meets a beautiful woman, and she looks like a beautiful woman with literary talents, how can he not be tempted?
As for why Nie Xiaoqian seduced him, he looked puzzled. Was he stupid? No, this is the real master, this is the master!
If he gets angry when he is hooked, what is the difference between him and a rough guy like Xia Hou?
As a result, he transformed into a straight man, and what stood out was the contrast.
And it can be seen from here that he really understands women, and he is worthy of being a scholar. He definitely knows how to make a lady remember her deeply.
That means staying calm!
Although there is a joke that you want to be a beast or worse than a beast?
An innocent girl will definitely like the latter. After all, talking about love without talking about love has no technical content at all. Even a man can do it, but a man who can talk about love and still say "Hey" can have double enjoyment?
On the other hand, it can also be proved that Ning Caichen has always been sultry and lustful. Why did he come the next day after thinking about it?
So Nie Xiaoqian, the ladylike female ghost in everyone, fell into trouble without any accident.
And do you still remember that if you ask Xia Hou to do such technical work as inscribing a painting, he will probably be dumbfounded every minute. But the scholar is different. Ning Caichen understands what Nie Xiaoqian wants very well.
So there is a classic: The sky is covered with frost over a ten-mile flat lake, and every inch of blue hair is worried about the past. Looking at the moon to protect each other, I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.
From inside to outside, from head to toe, from top to bottom, Ning Caichen has done everything a perfect lover can do!
Why do you say that?
First of all, they are educated and are in line with other ladies at the ideological level. It is obvious that they will have common topics when they are together.
Secondly, some people may say that Ning Caichen is not perfect because he has no money. Here I can only say that it is because you did not watch the movie seriously. Ning Caichen finished collecting debts and bought paintings, but he looked like he was not short of money. Okay?
Once again, when Xiaoqian was reincarnated, Ning Caichen held the door panel tightly with his shoulders, worried that the sun would scatter Xiaoqian's soul until Yan Chixia told him "she is gone." Ning Caichen turned around blankly, seeing the cruel sunshine in front of him. Precisely because we knew we had to say goodbye as soon as we fell in love, we longed for the warmth like morning dew.
If you are in love with each other, what more can you ask for?
Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian is destined to belong to Ning Caichen, and Xiahou and others can only stand aside, and they are not in the same rank at all.
Okay, some of the above are straightforward and some are not too serious. Next, let’s be more literary and serious.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" uses a picture scroll as the main line to outline a poignant and beautiful "unfinished love between man and ghost".
Nie Xiaoqian is so innocent that it makes people feel distressed. She is a character that makes people sympathize with her just from the look in her eyes. From meeting Ning Caichen to the end, the journey was full of twists and turns. When a scholar meets a girl who looks like a fairy, he is bound to fall in love, not to mention that Xiaoqian deliberately seduced her from the beginning. But when she met a stupid scholar like him, she fell into innocence. The sound of the piano, which was supposed to be a reminder, had hidden beauty, and the hair that strangled people's necks also stayed behind her. It's not that he's not afraid of ghosts, otherwise he wouldn't have to light three lanterns when walking at night; but for the sake of love, he will also become very brave. After having skin-to-skin contact with Nie Xiaoqian, he can't care how strong the thousand-year-old tree demon's tongue is. Chang, just holding his lover and running for his life.
In "Westward Journey" directed by Li Yi, when Tang Monk was hanging on the beacon tower, he once said a line that fascinated thousands of girls: Humans are born from human mothers, and monsters are born from monsters.
Therefore, all the emotions that a human being has, a demon also has. Even the energy that bursts out from the core of this emotion is purer and more destructive than human emotions wrapped in hypocrisy and suspicion.
Yan Chixia said to Ning Caichen on the way back to Lanruo Temple: The human world is too complicated to distinguish right from wrong, but with ghosts and gods, black and white are clear, but it is simple.
This romantic line, which is extremely realistic, is actually similar to the line in "Westward Journey" directed by Li Yi: "He looks like a dog."
Xiaoqian is undoubtedly an infatuated female ghost, and the Bull Demon King is also a commendable man. If fate hadn't caused the Supreme Treasure to pull out the purple-green sword in advance, I don't think the Bull Demon King would have caused an irreversible situation due to love and hatred. .
It's just that Ning Caichen's victory can't match the first glow of dawn, and no matter how invincible the Supreme Treasure is, he can only lose his lover in the curse of the golden hoop on his neck.
Being a human being is actually too fragile. It’s not like Ning Caichen didn’t have the courage to run back to Lanruo Temple in a night full of wild wolves. Thinking that Xiaoqian was in trouble, he would also push the powerful people away and rush back to rescue her in the rain with only his horse on his back. He even dared to break through the ghost gate of the old demon from Montenegro.
But after all, he was just a scholar who had read a lot of sages and sages. When he saw Yan Chixia lying on the ground, he stupidly dragged this old ghost back to the underworld. If I were to stay with Xiaoqian even if I were in the underworld, the world on earth would be nothing, so I wouldn’t go back.
Xiaoqian later told Ning Caichen that in fact, ghosts are sometimes kinder than people. I believe it, and it is precisely because of this sentence that I believe the weight of the tears that Fairy Zixia left in Zhizunbao's heart at the beginning. Because whoever is more sane is more cruel than the other.
It was only because of being a ghost that she fell in love with Ning Caichen, who didn't even have a pair of complete shoes, and she repeatedly saved the life of a poor scholar from her grandma's words. This is not just a female ghost. All the kindness is nothing more than the stupid things a girl does for love.
Originally, Xiaoqian didn't want to harm anyone, but there were too many stinky men with their eyes fixed on their waistbands, so it didn't matter if a few heads fell to the ground. But Ning Caichen was different. No matter how much he trembled, he was still determined to protect Xiaoqian and fight the evil snakes in the grass; even if he lost all his money, he still wanted to find the scroll of pictures that looked like Xiaoqian, let alone still be able to protect him. In front of the Xiaoxuan window, we wrote together poems such as looking at each other in the moon shape, only envying the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.
Therefore, love is often the end of one tragedy and the starting point of another. Being a ghost and falling in love with a person is either a promising career that makes people become ghosts, or it is a farewell.
It is true that there are high-tech things like moonlight boxes in this world, but what can make you look back is not necessarily the person you fell in love with at the beginning, so whether a person falls in love with a demon or a shemale, no matter how perfect the love is No match for a farewell. When the Supreme Treasure woke up from his dream, he had become the Monkey King who could no longer love. Xiaoqian went back to her urn and was reincarnated. Maybe she would never remember that there was a handsome scholar who fell into the water frequently for her. We And our love will never be able to compete with the dawn.
Love is like a dream, and there are vague tears in the dream. "
