After Xia Tian said the four words "A Chinese Ghost Story", the three women in the room felt cold, as if a cold wind blew in.

"'A Chinese Ghost Story'?! This name is so familiar." Wang's mother frowned and said, "Oh, I remembered it. Twenty years ago, director Li Hanxiang seemed to have filmed a "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"

Xia Tian nodded, "Yes, my movie is a remake of that movie."

"Mom, have you seen that "A Chinese Ghost Story"? What story did you tell?" Wang Qixian asked quickly when he saw that his mother knew about the movie.

"It seems to be a story in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". "My mother Wang thought for a while, "But I forgot all the stories. I watched the movie more than 20 years ago, so how could I remember it so clearly."

"Auntie said it well. This story is the article "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It tells the story of scholar Ning Caichen and female ghost Nie Xiaoqian." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"You want to play a female ghost again?" Wang Qixian was stunned and said reluctantly.

In her debut film, "It's Cold on the Lakeside This Year", she played a female ghost. I didn't expect that she would play a female ghost in this film "A Chinese Ghost Story"?!

She wants to play some challenging roles, but she really doesn't want to repeat her acting career.

Xia Tian smiled. Including this time, he only played the role of a female ghost twice, so where is it!

After Wang Shixian became popular in the previous life, he played at least a dozen female ghosts. She had to announce that she would not play female ghosts again in the future. Because she had played many female ghosts, she was afraid that she would not be a human in the next life.

The image of the female ghost she plays is also known as the best spokesperson for the "female ghost" in the film industry. It is unparalleled, ethereal and resentful, and beautiful. I have never known many actresses who have challenged the role of female ghosts, but no one can compare to her.

"Yes." Xia Tian nodded, "But although they are both female ghosts, female ghosts and female ghosts are still different. Besides, even if they are the same character, they have different interpretations. So I think it is still very challenging!"

"Aside from that movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" twenty years ago, it had both box office and reputation, and also participated in the Cannes Film Festival in France. Lotti, who plays Nie Xiaoqian, is therefore called the "most beautiful Chinese female star". Now, after more than 20 years, whether you can surpass Lotti or not depends on your performance. How is it, is it challenging enough, right?" Xia Tian explained again.

When Wang Qixian heard what he said, he nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Brother Tian, ​​I will definitely act well."

"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded, then said to the little sister, "You go up and pack your luggage, and you will take a plane back to the United States tomorrow."

"Brother, do you need to drive like this?" Xia Xue said reluctantly when she heard this.

"If you leave one day earlier, I will feel relieved one day. Otherwise, I will always be worried that she will give you another medicine and will be confused by the time you go." Xia Tian sighed.

"Brother, I already know that I'm wrong. I won't believe her again." Xia Xue said quickly when she heard this.

"No need to be so firm. You are my little sister. We grew up together. Don't I know your personality?! You are too soft-hearted and too easy to believe in people. Now you say it nicely and will never trust that woman anymore. But when she asks for soft words, you will feel soft again." Xia Tian waved his hand.

He knew that the younger sister had lacked the love of her parents since she was a child, so she was very eager for this kind of relationship when she grew up. Therefore, whether it was her father who had been gambled indiscriminately, owed usury, causing the two brothers and sisters to suffer frequent disasters, or her mother who abandoned her husband and son, was heartless and righteous, and lying without blinking, she could easily forgive them one by one.

The development of her character comes from the shadow of her childhood and cannot be changed at all. The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change! Even if she is determined now, when that woman comes to her, she will make the same mistake again.

"I don't know, I dare to swear!" Xia Xue saw that her elder brother didn't believe him, immediately raised her hand and said solemnly.

"Don't swear, it will be troublesome if it is fulfilled." Xia Tian quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, I believe you can't do it!"

"Yeah." Xia Xue nodded.

"Okay, go pack your luggage and take you back to the United States tomorrow." Xia Tian said again.

"Yeah." Xia Xue nodded again, "Brother, I agreed that after the New Year, you will come to the United States to see me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely go." Xia Tian agreed.

"Then I'll go upstairs to pack my luggage." Xia Xue said happily.

"I'll go and help you." Mother Wang also stood up and said.

"Brother Tian, ​​tell me what the story is "A Chinese Ghost Story"?" Wang Qixian asked, pulling Xia Tian.

Xia Tian smiled and told Wanwan the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story", "There is a poor scholar named Ning Caichen who went to Guobei County to collect the accounts..."

Wang Qixian opened his eyes wide and listened quietly.

...

Half an hour later, Xia Tian finally finished the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Wang Qixian's eyes were red and his expression was sad, "Brother Tian, ​​Nie Xiaoqian is so pitiful. Why don't you arrange a good ending for her?"

"It's already a good ending for her to be reincarnated. How else should I arrange it?" Xia Tian shook his head and said.

"Then can't she be with Ning Caichen?" Wang Xian asked expectantly. They were so in love and experienced life and death together. They should be together for generations. Why are they forced to separate? It's so cruel.

"Why can humans and ghosts be together? Besides, the imperfect ending can deepen the infectiousness. Otherwise, it will become a family-style ghost movie. The meaning will be completely different." Xia Tian shook his head and said.

The reason why "A Chinese Ghost Story" is that the character is very successful. Zhang Guorong plays Ning Caichen and is extremely successful in portraying a scholar who is ignorant of the world, simple and sincere, enthusiastic and loving. It is estimated that he is the only one in Hong Kong who can play such a kind role, but it will not make people feel hypocritical. Nie Xiaoqian, played by Wang Shixian, is unparalleled, beautiful, resentful and ethereal, and has outstanding temperament. He is even known as the most beautiful female ghost in history.

In addition, Yan Chixia, who has a big beard, rough and heroic face, a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart, and a chivalrous spirit; sometimes men and women, strange and terrifying, insidious and cunning tree demon grandma, can also be regarded as classic images in film history.

Second, the special stunts were used properly. The tree demon grandma and Yan Chixia fought, and the long tongue was too realistic. It is said that it was a sponge strip weighing hundreds of pounds. In order to make it look very vital, shocking and terrifying, the director Cheng Xiaodong at that time also tried his best to dream of this tongue.

In addition, Yan Chixia fights with the old demon of Black Mountain, and the mummies who have been sucked into the blood in Lanruo Temple are all special shots, bringing fresh and exciting visual experience to the audience.

Third, the story is well written. Based on the director Li Hanxiang, Xu Ke reorganized the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story", adapting a story that reflects the grudges and revenge of the family and country, and separation in troubled times into a romantic and tortuous love story.

Since it is a love story, of course, the ending of the tragedy is more touching than the reunion. For example, among the four major folk stories, "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "Battle Liang", and "Meng Jiangnu Crying the Great Wall", are basically imperfect endings. Shakespeare's famous work "Romeo and Juliet" also ended in a tragic ending...

If it suddenly changes to a happy comedy ending, the whole story will be ruined. In this way, the movie will not be as classic as the previous life version.

"Okay." Wang Qixian had no research on drama theory. After hearing what Xia Tian said, he had to nod, "Brother Tian, ​​was you the one who played Ning Caichen?"

"No, I plan to invite Zhang Guorong to perform." Xia Tian shook his head and said.

"He?" Wang Qixian was stunned, a little surprised, "But what you said just now, this drama seems to be a bit intimate."

Xia Tian has never liked her to make intimate scenes with other male actors. The maximum number is to hug her, hold her hands, and kiss her, let alone make a bed scene.

If other directors have this request, Xia Tian will directly refuse to drop the film contract and will never allow anyone to "involve" Wang Xiaoxian. This "domineering" love made Wang Xiaoxian a little troubled, but he was secretly happy.

The more he does this, the more he proves that he cares about himself. Is there anything more important to girls in love?!

But as he said just now, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen not only had intimate scenes, but also had many. So Wang Qixian thought it was Xia Tian who was filming with him. Unexpectedly, he wanted to invite Zhang Guorong, which was beyond her expectations.

"There are some intimate scenes. Let's take a look at it when you can borrow a position. If you can't borrow a position, I can only suffer a little loss." Xia Tian scratched his head and said, "This drama is very important to you. If you act well, you will become a real first-line actress. I don't want to lose this opportunity because of these intimate scenes."

Although Wang Qixian has starred in many blockbuster movies, such as "Mr. Zombie", "Zombie Family", "Working Emperor", "Best Bad Friend", etc., she is one of the most popular actresses this year. However, she mostly plays roles in vases, so although she has many roles and high box office movies, it has not left a deep impression on the audience. So although she is at the forefront, it is somewhat unworthy and still has a little bit of a false reputation.

But Xia Tian knew that as soon as this movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, Wang Qixian would firmly be among the top actresses in Hong Kong. He would become popular in Southeast Asia, and even South Korea and Japan would be worshipped under her pomegranate skirt.

"Brother Tian..." Wang Qixian was very moved when he heard what he said.
