This movie may be Wu Qianlian's most sacrificial and ravaged most hated film, and her partner is the famous Leslie Cheung, they did everything for this movie, the color level is directly flying all over the sky, and the scale is even more unattainable.
At the beginning of the movie, several carriages in the woods hurriedly drove by, and the people on the carriages were Xiao Huang, who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a career, and he came to Shanghai with the troupe to make a living.
Soon the troupe rented a courtyard that had been eroded by fire at a low price, which was full of the smell of burning, and it was even more frightening in the middle of the night, and from time to time ghostly voices could be heard, and everyone avoided it, but Xiao Huang did not believe in evil, and went directly to the stage of the famous actor Song Danping, where he fantasized about the day he became famous, and got the highlight moment of thousands of people.
Maybe God favors him, every day he can see a beautiful girl in front of his eyes, but she never says a word to herself, Xiao Huang, who is more curious, feels that there must be something unknown in this place.
Soon Xiao Huang found the uncle who was guarding the theater, and under his pleading, the uncle finally told the strange scene of the theater.
The uncle said that Song Danping's name back then can be said to be known to everyone in Shanghai, because all the people in Shanghai like to watch Song Danping's starring, Romeo and Juliet, so Song Danping is very sought after and loved by the general public.
But in the face of these people, Song Danping just smiled slightly and easily dodged, and in Song Danping's heart, there has always been a girl who makes her heart move, and this girl is none other than the daughter of the richest man in the city, Ah Yan, the two are of the same age and appearance, and soon the two fell in love, hoping that one day the two can become a real husband and wife.
On this day, Song Danping was happily lying in Ah Yan's arms, looking at Song Danping who was full of enjoyment, Ah Yan asked him, will you really love me forever? When Song Danping heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and directly used his whole life to express his love.
But what they never expected was that Ah Yan's father was very stubborn, and he forcibly broke up the pair of mandarin ducks for the sake of profit, and married Ah Yan to the stupid son of the Zhao family.
At the engagement banquet, Ah Yan sat on the side to watch the play because she was unwell, and Song Danping on the stage played the scene where Romeo took poison for love, looking at the affectionate Song Danping, Ah Yan reddened the corners of her eyes, and then tears slipped down her eyes like beans.
Song Danping in the play, grief-stricken and said a monologue, you let me be haggard, I let you wither, but now I can't get it back again, watching you cry for me, it makes me even more sad, and now I can't let go of the unforgettable taste, and finally all the lovesickness turned into the heartbreak of this moment, and the memories of the past can only be found in dreams now.
Song Danping's monologue deeply touched everyone, and they all sighed, this tragedy that cannot be loved.
And this scene also became the last goodbye of Song Danping and A Yan, and soon Lao Zhao brought his stupid son to the theater to stir up the situation, although he was full of benevolence and morality, but he was fake benevolence and false righteousness, and said angrily that Song Danping was not allowed to play this kind of immoral scene, hearing Lao Zhao's words, the audience was furious, and directly kicked Lao Zhao's father and son out.
After the performance, Ah Yan had a private meeting with her lover, and when she got her lover's vow, she happily lifted her skirt and got into the carriage, but it looked like a calm and peaceful night, but in fact, it was turbulent, and soon Ah Yan was arrested by her parents and imprisoned in a small black room, her mother angrily scolded Ah Yan, let her die of this heart, obediently marry Zhao Gongzi, don't think about it anymore, after speaking, her mother closed the door and locked her.
Ah Yan banged on the door helplessly, crying heartbroken, she kept begging her mother, but the love was deep, and a gate completely separated the two.
But how could Ah Yan give up, even if it was death, he would go to Huangquan with the person he loved the most, for the rest of his life, Ah Yan made a decision, he wanted to escape in this ruthless home, and wander the world with his lover.
But Ah Yan's actions soon alarmed the Du family, and the Zhao family didn't say much, and a fire completely turned Ah Yan's hopes into ashes, and Ah Yan was arrested again.
Looking at Song Danping, who was buried in the fire, Ah Yan sat down on the ground all of a sudden, she was grief-stricken at this time, and the people were surrounding her with lanterns, and the dim lights seemed to tell Ah Yan that this was her tragic fate.
For the sake of power and money, the Du family ruthlessly broke up a pair of lovers, and also destroyed Ah Yan's last hope.
After coming back, Ah Yan didn't cry or make trouble, let the maid wipe her body for her, while she stared at the small window next to her, no one knew what she was thinking.
Today's Ah Yan is already disheartened with Song Danping's death, but her tragic fate is not over, because Ah Yan has already given her first night to Song Danping, after learning about this incident, the Zhao family was furious, and her parents also lost face and decided to cut off the relationship with Ah Yan.
In the blink of an eye, autumn went to winter, in the snow, Ah Yan wore the cloak she once had, and walked on the street in despair, at this time she was still waiting for a lover who could not return, and behind her, there was a limping maid following her, at this time the two were extremely miserable, hiding in the corner to live.
After listening to this story, Xiao Huang sighed, at this time he would never have thought that his fate would also intersect with these two miserable lovers.
Xiao Huang's troupe was very small, and their performances were also disliked by the audience, and it didn't take long for them to be unable to support the expenses, and they were forced to leave Shanghai.
But fate seemed to be playing tricks on them, but Song Danping, who had been dead for many years, suddenly appeared, he threw Xiao Huang a script without saying a word, and then I told him how to act, Romeo and Juliet, and soon Xiao Huang understood the essentials.
Soon ushered in the first performance, this time lived up to expectations, their performance was very successful, and also attracted many people to watch, but during the performance, Xiao Huang suddenly wanted to have a high note that could not sing, it was Song Danping who helped him behind the scenes, which did not attract the audience to refund the ticket.
At this time, Song Danping sang the words of love he once had, and once again remembered the past between himself and Ah Yan, and tears suddenly fell.
That night, Xiao Huang found Song Danping again, and Song Danping sang the lyrics again, but at this moment, suddenly a woman with a disheveled hair appeared upstairs, obsessed like a former lover, and then the woman softly called out Song Danping's name.
It turned out that as long as it was a full moon night, Ah Yan would come to this dilapidated theater because this was an agreement between her and Song Danping, and soon Ah Yan left, and then Xiao Huang saw Song Danping hiding in the dark, he was playing the piano frantically, and at this time he seemed to be beaten with chicken blood.
In order to prevent Ah Yan from continuing her lovesickness, Song Danping asked Xiao Huang to pretend to be himself and sing songs for her, and at this time Song Danping suddenly became angry, he rushed directly to Xiao Huang, and then took off the cloak on his body.
It turned out that the fire did not burn Song Danping to death, although he was rescued, but he was burned beyond recognition, becoming an ugly monster that everyone fears.
Because of the stubbornness and arrogance in his heart, he didn't want to see anyone, let alone use this face to see his beloved woman, since the second half of his life was doomed, why not give the best memory to his beloved.
When delivering the letter, Ah Yan mistook Xiao Huang for Song Danping, only to see her rush forward, hugged him, and then leaned on Xiao Huang's shoulder and was very happy.
At this time, Xiao Huang opened the letter, but found that it was a blank piece of paper, and it was not difficult to see that the pain of lovesickness and love for many years could not be expressed by simple words.
Then Ah Yan packed her luggage, and all her memories stayed on the night of escape, but time has passed, and she can never go back that night, and now she can only reminisce about the beginning in her dreams.
After that, Ah Yan took Xiao Huang to the street to buy things, and after everyone saw her, they avoided it, and at this time, the stupid son of the Zhao family suddenly heard Ah Yan's voice, so he jumped out of the carriage directly, came to Ah Yan's side and beat her directly, and kept cursing him, but he didn't think that he ruined Ah Yan and Song Danping.
He doesn't know how bad he is, it's been ten years, Ah Yan and Song Danping are still struggling, and the beasts who planned all this back then are still arrogant and have no remorse.
But at this moment, the angry Xiao Huang cleaned up the stupid son of the Zhao family, and then Xiao Huang carried Ah Yan to the theater to save the last dignity of this woman.
After coming back, Ah Yan suddenly hugged Xiao Huang, and then kissed him unlovely, but when Song Danping upstairs saw this scene, his heart was extremely painful, and then he roared wildly, and it was this sound that directly made Ah Yan sober up, and at this time, she saw that the man in front of her was not Song Danping.
Then the two quarreled, and Xiao Huang accused Song Danping of being too cowardly, which made Ah Yan suffer for ten years.
On this night, Ah Yan has been following Song Danping, she is crying and running, asking Song Danping not to abandon herself, Song Danping at this time is even more heartbroken, but he did not stop, still walked forward, he was afraid that his appearance would scare Ah Yan, because he was also afraid of Ah Yan's expression after seeing him.
It was also on this night that the stupid son of the Zhao family sneak attacked, the two of them, he wanted to completely kill them, but this time he didn't succeed.
At the end of the movie, Song Danping opened his heart, he threw away the cloak that had covered him for ten years, stood in front of everyone openly, and then made the evil deeds of the Zhao family's father and son public.
After that, Song Danping left here with Ah Yan, and the movie ended here.
