At this moment, Du Xinghe felt much more peaceful when he watched "Zombies" in his mind.

When I opened my eyes, it was still dark in the elevator. I lit up my phone and looked at it. It was already 2 a.m.

The elevator still has no trend of turning.

Du Xinghe felt less depressed.

The change in mindset makes this confined space less confined.

There are many times when fear requires more fear to cure.

I was so scared that I was fearless.

Fear, at its root, is just a human instinct, it is an impulse to escape and helpless panic.

Some say that people's fear comes from fear of death, while others say that ignorance is essentially the source of fear. Such inferences can indeed explain the origin of people's fear in many cases, but more often, our fear seems nonsensical.

No one knows why, maybe there is no reason at all. We are just simply afraid. When fear comes, flowers and plants also make people feel as ferocious as the tentacles of a demon.

Fear is like a shadow, but it is not necessarily a manifestation of timidity. The braver the heart, the stronger the fear it faces. After all, fear is just an inner feeling that is parallel to joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

As long as you adapt to this feeling, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As the saying goes, the brave are fearless, and the wise are fearless, and Du Xinghe is working towards this state.

Speaking of "Zombies" that just screened in my mind, this film is definitely commemorative for Du Xinghe, who likes to watch Hong Kong horror movies. Unfortunately, the special effects level of this plane is far from the level of the previous plane in 2013, so this kind of film that emphasizes special effects cannot be moved to this plane.

Based on the movies of this plane he has watched, the movie special effects level of this plane should be close to that of the previous plane's 1998 movie "Storm and Clouds: Domination of the World". Although there are many big scenes, the effect is still quite fake when you look at it in detail, so many movies in Du Xinghe's mind cannot be moved here.

The special effects level in "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is relatively low. This is not a movie that relies on special effects to support the scene. It is okay to move it here, but "Zombies" can't be moved, even if Du Xinghe likes this movie quite a lot.

I had just watched the "Maoshan Taoist Priest" series with Liao Nan before. This series of movies reminded Du Xinghe of the more classic "A Chinese Ghost Story" trilogy in the previous plane.

If you want to talk about the best trilogy ghost movie to move to this plane at this time, it is the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series. This is a representative work produced in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, with a sense of vitality from the inside to the outside. Even at the current seemingly weak special effects level, you won't seem too backward when you get this plane.

As a musician, Du Xinghe also likes several interludes written by Huang Zhan in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

When thinking of the music of "A Chinese Ghost Story", most people should immediately think of the theme song of the same name by their brother Leslie Cheung.

What Du Xinghe remembered was another interlude in this film. "Don't Come to Dawn" sung by Sally Yeh.

In that year (1987), at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards, "Don't Come to Dawn" defeated "A Chinese Ghost Story" and won the Best Movie Music Award, which shows the charm of this song.

However, Du Xinghe actually loves the song "A Chinese Ghost Story". His brother's masculine and mellow voice, his sentence "Vivaciously in the dream, there are tears in his eyes" was sang for thousands of times, and his talent was heart-wrenching. Huang Zhan's talent is really admirable. The helplessness of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the lingering and sadness of "Dawn No More" are hard to imagine that it was written by one person.

In fact, Huang Zhan made this song "Don't Come to Dawn", which was not tailor-made for "A Chinese Ghost Story". It was by chance that Tsui Hark used it as a movie interlude, but it was actually impeccable, which is really amazing.

Since the elevator cannot be done, it is not very sleepy. Even if it is sleepy, Du Xinghe cannot sleep in such an environment to avoid other changes. Taking advantage of this opportunity to take a break from Sally Yeh's song "Don't Come to Dawn" and then revisit the masterpiece "A Chinese Ghost Story" that led the trend in the previous plane.

The heavy music sounds emerged in Du Xinghe's mind, and Sally Yeh interpreted the earth-shaking and touching love story between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian—

...

Please don't come at dawn~

Let the dream exist forever tonight~

Leave a real thing at this moment ~

This love that I love~

Order the soul to welcome in~

Please call Dawn not to come again~

Now the romantic feeling is let me go out of the world~

And the warmth of the breeze~

Send love in the cold rain ~

Silently let the infatuated break through the obstacles ~

Don't let the red sun ~ teach people to separate~

Don't change your night.

Don't let the red sun ~ teach people to separate~

Don't change your night.

Please don't need to show off your appearance at dawn~

Nowadays, the fantasy poetry is never replaced.

People are happy~

Holding you in the dark

Don't let the morning glow leak in~

...

"The sky is full of frost in ten miles, and the green hair is filled with sorrow. I look at each other with a single moon shape, and I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals."

He was wearing a coarse blue cloth, a torn hat, and a pair of torn cloth shoes. The world is tragic. Ning Caichen, who is well-read in poetry and books, has a youthful talent, but has no use of skills, so he was ridiculed by the hawkers selling paintings as "high quality and low status". In order to make a living, he had to carry his luggage to collect accounts. But even so, he did not lose the cuteness in his bones. He was innocent, pedantic, but also very affectionate, positive and optimistic. He encountered walls at the wrong time, but did not feel depressed. Even if he encountered murderers and robbers on the road, he could frequently tell: This is the world of love, not a world of swords.

She, Nie Xiaoqian, is the wronged soul who died in a foreign land, a female ghost who was wandering in the barren mountains, specializing in sucking the essence of young men. However, this is not her intention. Every time she hurts passers-by, she will be tortured by endless self-blame and sorrow. She is beautiful and kind. Although she is forced by the power of the tree demon grandmother, and although all the demons around her are bloodthirsty, she still sticks to her inner conscience alone, unique in that dirty and dark world.

The long night is cold and the moon is seductive. In the pavilion in the water, Xiaoqian, dressed in white, plays the zither and starts to seduce passers-by in an attempt to absorb his spirit. Ning Caichen was attracted by the sound of the piano and strolled in the pavilion. When he saw Xiaoqian, he was fascinated by his peerless face like most people.

However, no matter how the beauty teased her eyebrows and threw herself into her arms, he was not moved at all, and he was just panicked and turned around. He was looking for white veil and sneezing again, which made Xiaoqian not know where to start.

Just when the two were laughing and crying, Yan Chixia came to interrupt. Ning Caichen, who was unknown, pulled Xiaoqian and ran away. The three of them chased each other. It was a farce: one was trying hard to escape, while the other was asking questions with a piano. A scholar was powerless to tie a chicken and wanted to block the snake for the woman. As a result, he was so scared that he jumped around.

Even though humans and ghosts have different paths, she only thinks he is prey, but she has an unhidden conscience in her heart. Seeing Ning Caichen feel affection and politeness to herself, in order to save herself and overcome fear, she fought with the snake and the monster catcher without hesitation, her lonely and cold heart after her death was touched for the first time. Finally, when she bid farewell to Ning Caichen, she looked back and smiled when she jumped onto a tree, it was really touching.

The love between humans and ghosts has never been tolerated by the world. Yan Chixia, who takes it as her mission to eliminate demons and defend the way, believes that all demons are murderous demons. Before being moved by Ning Caichen's true love, he repeatedly killed Xiaoqian, hoping to get rid of it. On Xiaoqian's side, the demons led by the tree demon grandmother kept pushing each other, wanting to use Xiaoqian's hand to get rid of Ning Caichen. They are so hard and tragic that they love, but they love so deeply.

Ning, Qian's love is so beautiful because they are in such a ruined and chaotic world, and they have no choice but to choose tragedy. Xiaoqian told Ning Caichen that people are sometimes more terrifying than ghosts, and ghosts are sometimes kinder than people. Yan Chixia also said that the human world is too complex, and the demons and ghosts are clearly distinguished from black and white, and they live freely. In the human world, there are swordsmen who are greedy and vain, corrupt officials who are obsessed with money, and ants who forget their righteousness... but there is no trace of human nature at all. In such an environment, the scholar who is honest is destined to be rejected and marginalized. He met Xiaoqian, who is also lonely as himself, and fell in love at first sight, knowing each other,

Nie Xiaoqian, a wronged soul in the mountains and fields, has no support, "a thousand miles of soft soul, and has no support". It is not her wish to help the evildoer. She wanders between the world and the underworld, and has seen countless people, but most of them only seek happiness. Only Ning Caichen treats her honestly with her with a innocent heart. This sincere love from the heart is exactly what she dreams of, a lonely and helpless ghost. Therefore, she sacrificed her life many times for her lover, but for her lover, she did not care about her own safety, but they could not resist reality and could not reverse the fate of the tragic. The Chinese advocate the beauty of tragedy. Only when they walk in the fate of tragedy can the beauty of things be fully displayed, and the love between Xiaoqian and the scholar is even more precious.

In Du Xinghe's impression, this is one of the most classic love movies shot by Leslie Cheung. His perfect interpretation with Joey Wong made the most unforgettable screen couple in the 1980s.

Although the world is different and things change, whenever it comes to savoring it again, he will still be moved by the picturesque face on the screen, and still be sad for this part of human and ghost love. Leslie Cheung, an alien genius in the film industry, uses his outstanding acting skills to portray a poor scholar who is unswerving but unswerving in love, and Joey Wong's performance is even unattainable. Her Nie Xiaoqian is elegant and sad, resentful, but charming, full of demonic spirit, and her phoenix eyes are even more captivating, and even covers Leslie Cheung's glory. On the screen, light blue light and shadow, vast fog, and a white veil fly up, like a fairy landing in the mortal world. The role of Nie Xiaoqian also helped Joey Wong establish an irreplaceable "jade girl" status in the film circle and became one of the most classic female ghost images in the history of Chinese films.

Another outstanding character here - Yan Chixia. The Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl is a story of love and heroes. Love is a love between people and ghosts, and heroes, as well as a unique heroes. Yan Chixia in the movie, with an iron sword and a beard, is alone in the world, but is worried about the world. With the belief in justice and a passion for blood, he takes it as his responsibility to maintain justice and kill demons. He is clear about right and wrong, hates evil as a hatred, and becomes a protector of people like Ning Caichen who also has justice and conscience, and is also a confrontation with corrupt officials and evil forces.

The sincere feelings between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are really touching. However, Ning Caichen is just a cowardly scholar. Although he always strives to move forward in times of trouble, he can never fight against demons and monsters, and is also held hostage by the minor officials of the county government. Here, the real defender of the "Demon Way" is Yan Chixia, who does not dare to provoke either corrupt officials or demons. Although he was tired of the world, he retired to the barren mountains and said he would ignore foreign affairs, but whenever evil forces appeared, he never stayed out of the matter. He always held his sword and tried his best to eliminate the demons. He said he didn't care about Ning Caichen. However, he not only saved Ning Caichen's life repeatedly, but also further saved Xiaoqian, and tried his best to wipe out the two evil forces, the thousand-year-old tree demon and the old monster of the Black Mountain. He fought for the morality of the world. His efforts had nothing to do with his own interests. All he could do was to calm his heart that was beating violently because of chivalrous.

Yan Chixia of Wuma, sings with a sword and is full of passion. The one who replaces him with the sound outside the movie is another genius of the vocal music world - Huang Shan, who is the real Yan Chi Shan. He is a real hero. The song "Daodao" is a work he and Tsui Hark while drinking. It is really a fascinating masterpiece like mountains and flowing water. Brigitte Lin recalled that Huang Shan once said when drinking that death is not worth sad. He wanted to record a tape. He laughed at the beginning, and then told everyone not to be sad and happy. He was ready to record it until his funeral was displayed for everyone. Brigitte Lin said that every time he mentioned Huang Shan, he always remembered his laughter from the sea.

And we are the same. We who live in reality may never have such a chivalrous spirit, such as the hero who smiles at life and dies.

The story will always end, dawn will come, and humans and ghosts have different paths, which is a fact that no one can reverse. Therefore, as soon as the sun comes out, Xiaoqian, a ghost, can only hide back in the urn. "I didn't expect... I can't see you for the last time, you have to take care of yourself!" After going through hardships and hardships, a lover waits for not staying with her white hair forever, but she waits for the blue and white springs never meet each other, but loves each other but cannot stay together. How can this love be so suppose?

At the end of the movie, Xiaoqian returned to the urn and was reincarnated. Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia rode their horses and whipped around, and a love affair between humans and ghosts finally came to an end.

In that life, in that life, he met her, thought, loved, waited, and the yin and yang were separated. Now that he had repaid this love, many years later, would she still remember a man who lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, talked for her at night, fell into the water frequently for him, and broke his heart for him.

...

The ending subtitles are scrolling, and when Du Xinghe hears his brother's "A Chinese Ghost Story" again, he feels a lot of emotion. In fact, there is a behind-the-scenes story. Leslie Cheung is called "Brother" because of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story". Because Xiaoqian called Ning Caichen and used the word "Brother", the crew followed suit, and Leslie Cheung also liked the name very much. Over time, everyone called him that.

There is another small thing behind this movie that I have to say. Before the filming of the film, Joey Wong, who was still famous at the time, called Tsui Hark's wife Shi Nansheng for an audition, but Shi Nansheng did not consider Joey Wong at all, so he politely refused Joey Wong. Later, Joey Wong personally found director Tsui Hark to ask for an audition, and the director finally agreed to let Joey Wong try the costume. The style was just right during the audition. Later, Tsui Hark decided that Joey Wong would play Nie Xiaoqian, which made him the most beautiful female ghost legend in Hong Kong film history.

Before Du Xinghe traveled through time, in 2011, the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Ye Weixin and played by Liu Yifei was released in the mainland. In the same month, the 87th version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was reprinted and released. As a movie more than 20 years ago, the box office of the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" naturally failed to be satisfactory.

That month, Du Xinghe watched both versions of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in front of the big screen. After comparing it, he realized how classic the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is. Even though he had watched it many times before, when he watched it again, he still couldn't help but be led away. Being overwhelmed and moved. This is the so-called classic.

At this moment, when I watched it again in the closed elevator, Du Xinghe still felt moved, moved by the movie and the music.

In fact, if you look at it carefully, there are only a few characters and scenes in the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" come and go, and only a few scenes, whether it is props or special effects, they all seem simple. If you change to a movie later, you will probably not be able to escape the fate of being picked on by the audience. But it is not this one - it is not because of nostalgia.

After watching so many times, Du Xinghe realized one thing, that is, every shot of the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exudes strong confidence, which definitely puts the creator himself above various technical means.
