1. Gu Xingzhai: One interpretation of a zhai is a house, often referring to a study or a school, such as a study. Pu Songling's study is called Liao Zhai. This film is taken from one of the stories in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai", written by Hu Jinquan By extension, the man in the story is called Gu Sheng, and Hu has a homophonic pronunciation of "save", plus a "zhai", which is not only close to the original book, but also happens to be the name of the shop that Gu Sheng opened in a small town. The first couplet is "finely painted landscape characters", and the second couplet is "writing letters and spring couplets". The names of the people are in line with making a living.
2. The chivalrous girl: Pu Songling said in a commentary on "Chivalrous Girl" that a person must have a chivalrous girl in his room, and then he can prostitute children. The chivalrous girl is taken from this sentence, which means that the chivalrous woman is a righteous woman. The young man in the story is very beautiful, and Gu Sheng has a close relationship with him, but he does not want to be a white fox. At that time, the woman cut off her head with a dagger, and Hu Jinquan replaced the white fox-turned prostitute with Ouyang Nian, a thousand households from the Dongchang factory.
3. Jinglu Tunbao: a desolate place, broken and sparse, overgrown with grasses, frightened birds, and cobwebs, it is the best place for ghost stories to take place. Gu Xingzhai took advantage of this location to deal with Menda's group. Because he was familiar with military books and knew how to set up an army, he waited for work and waited for the rabbit. He first lured the enemy to go deep, and then caught the turtle in the urn. The organs were hidden everywhere, and in just one night, Menda and his gang were wiped out. Hu revealed that this filming location is a setting, and the old atmosphere is very good. The thatch in the courtyard is not native, but moved in. The camera makes full use of these props, saying that it is an abandoned haunted house, which is very convincing.
4. Sex under the moon: As the only love scene in the film, Hu Jinquan's handling was sloppy. In the daytime, Gu Xingzhai chased Yang Huizhen to the rubble of the abandoned house at the foot of the mountain. Yang appeared from the steaming mist, with his hands on his back, his chin strap flying, and condescending, his expression was cold, and he said without any emotion. Master Gu, come to my place tonight", like an order, such a behavior corresponds to the description of "beautiful like peaches and plums, and cold like frost and snow" in the original work. At night, in the pitch-black General's Mansion in Zhenyuan, Li Bai's "Drinking Alone under the Moon" slowly sang to the sound of the guqin: a pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and form three people against each other. The moon is not able to drink, and the shadow disciple follows me. Temporarily accompany the shadow of the moon, and the music must be in the spring. My song month is wandering, and my dancing shadow is messy. Intercourse when awake, and disperse when drunk. Eternal knot ruthless travel, looking forward to Miao Yunhan. The poem expresses Li Bai's loneliness, and can only drink with the moon and the shadow. When used here, it is Yang's feelings that are revealed, as if she is telling her life experience. This poem was sung in a mournful tone, so how could it become an aphrodisiac for Gu Yuyang? It was rather reluctant. Looking at the set, Hu Jinquan also put a lot of thought into it. In the depths of the thatch, Yang Huizhen, who had a white flower on her head, devoted herself to playing and singing. On the square table of the qin, there was another pot of wine, two wine glasses, and a solitary lamp, beside Yang. , There are purple bougainvillea blooming brightly, the bright moon penetrates through the broken doors and windows behind him, and there are lotus flowers floating on the dark water in the nearby pond. It is said that the artistic conception of this scene has more or less met the conditions for a rendezvous between men and women, but Yang, who had finished singing Li Bai's poems, looked at the heights, got up and glanced at the full moon, and then turned around mechanically and looked directly at Gu without any expression. With a sound of thunder, the two leaned against each other, and the next morning was the next. After seeing too many shooting methods of rolling sheets, Hu Jinquan's handling is the first time I have encountered it.
5. Convert to the empty door: Gu Xingzhai traveled through mountains and rivers to find Yang Huizhen. When he arrived at the temple, a monk placed his child on the stone, and there was a letter in it, saying, "The evil is over, convert to the empty door, and Gu's cigarettes will last forever. absolutely". Gu picked up the child, looked at the temple reluctantly, and then looked at the child again, feeling deeply regretful, the camera turned to the overlook where Gu was holding the child away, the person was getting smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared in the valley among the rocks. In the middle, Yang Huizhen, who was watching from a high place, was also reluctant to give up, but she had decided to leave the dust, so she turned and entered the temple with Master Huiyuan. Personal point of view, the movie is here, you can stop it, it is a good ending. In the original work, the woman left the child, and it was like a flash of lightning, and then she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and it came to the end of the story, but Hu Jinquan didn’t think so. , I want to come to a "vulgar fate". Dongchang also sent a master Xu Xianchun to pursue him, forcing Master Huiyuan to take action. Hu Jinquan's admiration for Buddha is very strong, golden blood, Buddha's light is bright, wicked people's illusion, guides the way to the good, the world is dangerous, and there is a Buddha who protects him.
