This is Pu Songling's beautiful description of the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian in Lanruo Temple. The four words "As if Yan Jue" are really beautiful to make people's mind tickling. The beauty of these four words lies in the word "As if". In Chinese classical aesthetics, there is always a vague beauty that can't be seen clearly. It is always more beautiful and more fascinating than clear.
Nie Xiaoqian's aesthetic principle is based on this, with bright eyes and white teeth, she wanders in a white dress, leaving a skirt in front of the big screen, adding an eternal illusion screen to the film and television footage. Strange, but also beautiful-Nie Xiaoqian.
From now on, she has been
listened to by Aunt Nie Xiaoqian's arrogant words.
Because I am tired of being a world language, I love to listen to the ghosts of autumn graves.
how? From Wang Shizhen’s poem, can I feel the familiar ghost air — the swaying bright green light and shadow, the forest is faint, the smell of plants is cold everywhere, and perhaps I can hear faintly coming from the lakeside pavilion in the distance The sound of the guqin.
When Western werewolves fought against vampires and zombies for hundreds of years, Chinese Nie Xiaoqian was floating in the dew and autumn grass, dragging her long white gauze. The ghost of the East is a "spiritual body", not a decayed variant of the strong physical body of the West. This is the Chinese people's unique aesthetic view of ghosts—not inclined to the violent aesthetics of publicity, and pay more attention to a kind of spiritual beauty that slowly penetrates into the heart from the outside. Although the light of Leng Cuizhu from the east was faint, it was better than the blood-red eyes of the werewolf. Throughout the ages, among the many strange relationships between people and ghosts, the most talked about is Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio". Among them, the female ghost Xiaoqian is the first to mention it.
In the original "Strange Stories from a Lonely Studio", Pu Songling described Nie Xiaoqian like this-the muscles reflect the clouds, the feet are upright and the shoots are thin, and the daytime looks at him, she is charming and beautiful. In ancient times, when people talked about sexiness with a woman, their eyes would often fall on the woman's two slender feet. As for the other parts, it was left to the reader's imagination.
In 1987, Produced by Tsui Hark, "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Cheng Xiaodong was born. The sexy beauty of Nie Xiaoqian played by Wang Zuxian was beyond the imagination of the audience at that time, and even challenged the limit of imagination of the beauty of female ghosts in the 1980s. In the past, the female ghosts on the big screen were mostly blue-faced fangs, with a scary long tongue, but the beauty of this female ghost was far better than that of a mortal girl, and people could not help but have infinite love and reverie for her. The female ghost Nie Xiaoqian played by Wang Zuxian is so beautiful that she is chilly, and there is a part of her in the film, there is a kind of free beauty, the picture floats forward for a part, when the light hits her face, the whole tone becomes cold .
Xiao Ting Suoyuan, with a long moonlight, a cluster of cold green plantains, she lifted the curling leaves with her bare hands, Xiao Qian's face was charming and cold, and she was sad.
From time to time, there is an elegant white dress walking through the dark and secluded mountains and forests; from time to time, there is a light purple gauze that tunes the thrush; from time to time, there is a timeless red dress, taking pictures by the lake. Reaching out and pulling her robes, she found her fingers pierced through the white gauze in the air. Whenever and wherever she looks, Xiaoqian's beauty, evil, and cold eyes give people a feeling of standing outside of time. This sentiment is what I felt when I first saw Wang Zuxian's version of Nie Xiaoqian.
To make "Nie Xiaoqian" into a movie, Xu Ke is not the first to make a movie, but he can be regarded as the first person to truly grasp the essence of the word "ghost". Theme ghosts, atmosphere ghosts, music ghosts, as a result, classics are born. The blue fog of Lanruo Temple, Xiaoqian's towering hair bun, and fluttering clothes, the phrase "Ten miles of flat lake is full of frost, every inch of green silk is sad." The sigh of the song? To this day, Xiaoqian has been remakes countless times, and she still can't get rid of the perspective of the floating white yarn.
In "A Chinese Ghost Story", Xiaoqian, played by Wang Zuxian, captures the audience's hearts with "amazing beauty". The whole film is filled with a strange and sad romance and freedom. The beauty of Xiaoqian and the love of Xiaoqian have become Forever missed in the hearts of a generation.
Nie Xiaoqian is the most classic character in Joey Wang's film works, and Joey Wang version of Nie Xiaoqian is also the most stunning and refined Nie Xiaoqian in all film and television versions in history. Her shape is soft and elegant, and it is always changing. That white robe covers the moonlight like cold smoke, not stained with earthly snow and frost. With bright eyes flowing, and a sorrowful smile, the female ghost in Pu Songling's works should be so cold and resentful. At the same time, she is a charming ghost with a charming spirit, and the jade bone ice muscle exudes wisps of amorous feelings and moonlight through the light veil, which inadvertently tempts all living beings. That's how it is when you smile forever, and cry forever sorrow.
Wang Zuxian is not the only Nie Xiaoqian, but so far, it seems that no Xiaoqian has the temperament better than Wang Zuxian. That temperament is innate and cannot be imitated, and is with her soul. Tsui Hark can best discover this non-mortal temperament in Wang Zuxian. Even if there is coquettish and temptation in the play, it makes people feel that she is innocent and beautiful. When we talk about Nie Xiaoqian now, it's hard not to think of that long hair, ethereal and sad, and enchanting Wang Zuxian version of Nie Xiaoqian.
It has been a long time since Wang Zuxian has been in the shadows, and her Nie Xiaoqian has become a gorgeous memory in his years. My memory has been closed and I am not ready to accept the new Xiaoqian. In the south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River, people have been born for generations, but since then, there is no Xiaoqian.
Since then, there will be no more Wang Zuxian in Yinhai.
On October 2, 2001, Wang Zuxian suddenly announced the closing of the shadow at the press conference of "Dream in the Garden" under the circumstances that no one could have predicted, which scared Director Yang Fan and many reporters present. Jump. The matter of relieving shadows is also inevitable by accident. I don't know how many people wake up from dreams in "A Dream in the Garden", turning the beginning of anticipation into the end.
Maybe everyone is eager to look at life in a different posture. When a person is looking at the prosperous scene of the world, he suddenly sees the simple spiritual background in his heart, and suddenly bursts out a long-standing desire for a life that originates from the self. This is enough to make a person immerse himself in reflection at the same time. In the familiar but unfamiliar memories of the past, after sadness and hesitation, I long to return to my true self.
For 17 years in Yinhai, Wang Zuxian has the right to choose his own life.
Wang Zuxian said: "You can have love, but you can't have affection when you love." Growing up in a divorced family, Zuxian Wang needs more love than ordinary people, but he also has a fear of love. Perhaps it is his good understanding of love that makes the Wang Zuxian version of Nie Xiaoqian reveal a cold and fierce temperament to love.
In "A Chinese Ghost Story", what we see is a sad and beautiful love between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, the love that happened between Wang Zuxian and Qi Qin, what we see is the sad and beautiful love.
In the novel "White Night Walk" by Japanese writer Keigo Higashino, Ryoji and Yukho are compared to gun prawns and tiger prawns. They always appear together. They have a deep understanding of each other, symbiosis and mutual dependence, and they do not hesitate to commit all kinds of sins for each other. He also completely tolerates each other's betrayal and alienation. The relationship between the two is extremely confusing. "White Night Walk" starring Yamada Takayuki said, "It is difficult to say whether they are in love or not."
This is like the love between Wang Zuxian and Qi Qin. They are like a pair of gun prawns and tiger prawns. They are too close to love or admit that it is love. Only when they watch each other can they feel each other's existence. They see each other's desires clearly, and they know all the reasons for each other's actions, they understand each other's fear and anxiety, and they also know what kind of shadows their childhood memories cast on each other's hearts. They forgiving each other are like forgiving themselves. They are too alike, so they are afraid that the other person will see themselves too thoroughly, and they will not be able to tolerate love if they see too thoroughly.
In the chaotic and complicated entertainment industry, Wang Zuxian is definitely an extraordinary woman, not only because of her non-cannibalistic temperament and appearance, but also because of her unique personality and strong subjective consciousness. However, this may be what Qi Qin can never truly understand. Her reason. Wang Zuxian has her own unique insights into society and life, and she sincerely desires to be accommodated and dependent, but it is difficult to have a truly suitable object. She also pursues a gentle and peaceful harbor, and a perfect and true love, but so far she has not met a party with broad enough shoulders, broad enough heart, enough to carry everything about this woman-her beauty, Her sorrow, her empty and heavy heart.
From entering the film world at the age of 17 to retiring from shadows at the age of 34, the silver career occupied Wang Zuxian's youth. Today's Wang Zuxian, who has traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, has seen all the complicated things in the world, although she is still beautiful, she is no longer the childish girl. She has too many past regrets to be filled, and she chooses to stop shadowing, perhaps because of a return to her true self.
I have always believed that Wang Zuxian, who believes in Buddhism, is a clean and ethereal woman, and she must have been completely washed out now!
