I watched both the old and new versions of "A Chinese Ghost Story" within a week. To be honest, I really watched the new version with the tickets that I couldn’t waste the group buying. I really didn’t have any hope at all. I even watched the new version with a mocking attitude. See the new version. After watching it, it was as bad as I imagined, and I forgot it in a blink of an eye. After reading the 87th edition today, I was completely angry. To be honest, I seem to have seen this movie on a local film and television channel when I was a child, but I was not impressed. I went to watch it this time just to cherish my "brother". There are too many commercial movies in Hong Kong, the good ones are bad, they are all mixed up, and they are nothing more than clichéd plots that you can watch or not watch. Therefore, I don’t have any hope, thinking that as long as I can see Guorong’s peerless elegance enough. Who knows, it is better than not knowing, the world is really wonderful! The taste of the word "wonderful" can only be understood by the parties involved.
Now let's talk about the difference between the two versions. Of course, the actors are the most different. I think I can understand this. After all, Xiaoqian, who is as elegant as Wang Zuxian, is hard to come by. Xiaoqian's resentment, sadness, and charm are like It is tailor-made for Wang Zuxian, she seems to have this kind of resentment, cold and charming temperament by nature. Therefore, Wang Meiren is not acting, she is. Not to mention "brother", I sincerely persuade those directors not to remake Leslie Cheung's role again, I really beg you. This is not a tribute at all, it is a waste!!!
Next is the plot. I think a film is good or not, the plot is the key. Commercial films are commercial films, and you can't hope to get any inspiration or inspiration from commercial films. The task of commercial films is only one: to entertain, so that the public can be entertained for an hour or two, and then they are considered responsible. Therefore, even if you are a commercial film, even if your purpose is to make money, please have a minimum professional ethics, don't cheat our wallets, and insult our IQ. The 87 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is indeed a success from the point of view of the plot. It needs to be funny and funny, tragic and tragic, and terrifying and terrifying. The plot is compact, logical, and antique. For an hour and a half, the audience is sometimes shocked. The handsome men and beautiful women are moved by ghosts, sometimes hit by naughty lines and laughing, and sometimes they are caught by the atmosphere of fear and become the protagonist and sweat. In short, the viewing process is very enjoyable and immersive. Look at the new version again, the plot is empty, the logic is confusing, it is funny when it is sad, it is ridiculous when it is funny, and it is disgusting when it is terrifying. In short, the whole plot can be summed up as: chaos caused by a piece of candy. Treat the audience as a fool, spend a lot of money to do some superfluous stunts, spend a lot of money to wrap a rotten cabbage in gold, and then desperately schedule the schedule, vowing to deceive all the audience that can be deceived, hand over the money, everything will be fine . Then, the gods from all walks of life took the hard-earned money of the moviegoers and continued to prepare to dig the next hole. To be honest, the common people all know this set, they know they are cheated, they know it is tasteless, but they choose to watch it because they are really helpless. These days, there is no worst, only worse, one is worse than the other. you choose. This is as helpless as milk powder and poisoned steamed buns, poisoning is better than starvation! ! ! !
Hong Kong film success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He. It flourished because of commercial films, but also declined because of commercial films. It is still those people and those things. Why? But it is two children who are "careful". At that time, at least the script was written with heart, the director directed with heart, and the actors acted with heart. now what? Let's make a quick meal together, you throw a rotten egg, I throw a piece of rotten tofu, it will collapse whether the audience can digest it, and whether the audience will feel uncomfortable or sick after eating it. In short, everything is TMD desperately impetuous, as long as you can make money!
Please sink from the floating sea. Only in this way can Chinese films have a way out. Stop cheating, stop abusing the patriotism and sympathy of the Chinese people. After you have deceived 1.4 billion people, what else can you do? Waiting for the Chinese people to change from tolerance to tolerance to rejection? Are these new theater chains waiting to spring up like mushrooms on the verge of fading? Wake up, take back some of the dignity and conscience of being a filmmaker. Chinese filmmakers, please be worthy of the three words "filmmaker" and the audience who love you, endure you, scold you, and support you.
Another: Don't have endless fried cold rice, don't you know that all the fried rice is seriously oxidized, and the nutrition is all said, will it still be indigestion? For the health of the people, raise your hand! !
I pay tribute to Leslie Cheung, a peerless and fragrant actor who has been fragrant for thousands of years!
