Every year there are some old films, which are remade by the so-called directors, adaptations. In fact, this phenomenon is very normal, and even classic stories, put in different periods to interpret, will also vary. Besides, adaptation is to change it first and then edit it! Shooting it again according to the old story is not interesting at all! Therefore, directors and screenwriters will also rack their brains and try to turn over new flowers! But this adaptation does not mean that the classic must be overturned! You can add personal insights to the original book, as well as some values that keep pace with the times. It's all okay!
Have you ever seen such a Nie Xiaoqian?
So the same is the story of "Ghost of a Woman", let's take a look at this version adapted by director Yip Wai Shin in 2011!
The biggest change in this version is that Yan Chixia jumped to the position of the main coffee! Ning Caichen retreated to the second place and became a male partner.
I didn't expect that Yan Chixia would also be the protagonist of this day!
Moreover, he also gave Yan Chixia a relationship drama with Nie Xiaoqian! This change is bold. So did it work out? It turned out to be a great failure!
There are many reasons for failure, mainly two. First, the feelings are too abrupt! I haven't experienced life and death, I love to die and live! It's like a middle school student in love, and his brain is hot and he doesn't care about anything! Immaturity is impulsive!
A candy is a curse
With a single piece of candy, Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia got along? Later, it was also because of candy, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen got along? Candy is so attractive? A candy-triggered love triangle! I was relieved to see that the screenwriter had written such a book as "Wuji".
Second, Nie Xiaoqian was actually a fox demon! Then you are still called "Qiannu Ghost" for Mao instead of "Qiannu Fox Demon"! Serious off-topic!
The fox demon version of Nie Xiaoqian
And according to Nie Xiaoqian's performance in the play, it is not worthy of sympathy at all! There is no tragic life, no helpless choices, and no awakening and self-blame after harming others! Since she is so stubborn, we must sympathize with Mao for her!
Third, Nie Xiaoqian's casting has problems! All along, I think That Liu Yifei only stays at the level of beauty! Very superficial! Because she is not suitable for a performance with a complicated expression! Beautiful, put there, what a good vase, have to tangle to act in emotional drama! Embarrassment is committed! It's not that I have a preconception about her, the appearance is indeed beautiful.
Immortal Sister's appearance is no problem!
But there is no harm in comparison, and if nothing else, compared with "Face Paralysis Liu" and Hui Yinghong, who plays the role of the tree demon grandmother in the play, it is really not one or two levels!
Let's spit on Ning Caichen again! This time he was neither a scholar nor a rent collector, but a craftsman in Yamen! You must know that in most costume films, Yamen are representatives of corrupt rulers, lackeys of exploiters, and objects of condemnation! Therefore, this time Ning Caichen's origin is not very good, and he lacks a bit of grounding.
Civil servant version of Ning Caichen
Moreover, when he went to Lan Ruo Temple, he did not happen to spend the night, but was in government affairs! Since he has something to do, if he is a conscientious servant of the people, how can he think about his life's major affairs before the problem is properly resolved?
Not to mention, when he already knew that Nie Xiaoqian was a fox demon, he still had to blindly sacrifice his essence, wasn't this black and white, aiding and abetting abuse?
Riot year! It's tantamount to drinking and quenching thirst!
If you know that your partner has bad habits, you should advise! Such a sacrifice is not at all touching, because the purpose is not pure! Immediately after that, he was confused and began to act shyly! This is a wake-up call for the majority of female compatriots: in the future, the boyfriend will be so attentive, and he must have done it with a plan! Be careful!
After complaining so much, in fact, the movie is not useless. At least four points, fools I still recognize.
The first is the hard work of the ancient principal. Although the film sucks, the characters don't suck. Especially when facing the injured Nie Xiaoqian, that kind of sadness was gone at first sight!
Principal Gu's acting skills are not said!
Although we don't know how Yan Chixia's stoic feelings burst out of such a strong reaction. But at least Principal Gu did his best.
Secondly, the performance of the tree demon Grandma Hui Yinghong is also outstanding. It is worthy of being in the entertainment industry for more than forty years of old drama bones, and playing the villain is also in place.
Aunt Hong's performance is also in place!
The third martial arts scene is still a bit of a sight to behold. For example, at the beginning, Yan Chixia seems to be the appearance of Van Helsing's version. There is also the hand-to-hand combat of Fan Shaohuang and Wang Danyili at the end, which is also a crisp action and a bloody spurt.
Van Helsing-like fights
Fourth, the final outcome was not criticized! If Nie Xiaoqian really chose to go with Ning Caichen, then she would have taken the status of a "scumbag girl"! After all, she was still sorry for her predecessor Yan Chixia! Therefore, it is also reasonable to stay and choose to sacrifice.
This push is also reasonable!
After reading the fool, I want to say that people can indeed have many loves in their lives! But in the same time period, the heart can only hold the heaviest weight! This may be the key to this version of Nie Xiaoqian's final choice to stay!
