The reason for this question is that the censorship system has a rigid indicator: feudal superstition must not be promoted!

Zhang Junsheng thought this system was very unrestrained...

It was still possible in the 1990s, for example, the ghost movies and TV series such as "The Soul of the Black Building" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" can also be broadcasted...

But later, it became a propaganda of feudal superstition, and even some hot-blooded anime became a propaganda of bloody violence, affecting young people and children.

This should be mutual revenge among colleagues!

Your box office is so high, it must be because you have a loophole and you must report it!

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, when investors set up projects, they simply don’t shoot ghosts, but only shoot monsters!

Wen Juan once asked officials of the General Administration system why China does not allow ghost movies?

Answer: Our country is a country with uneven population education, and many people have very low scientific literacy. If the country allows ghost movies, or reflect ghost movies in TV cinemas, a considerable number of ordinary people will really believe that they are true.

There is some truth to the fact that state managers should start from the overall situation, rather than from the perspective of a certain industry.

At least those who make movies have received some education. They will think that this type of movie is an entertainment, but what about the audience?

Look at the obsession and trust of our parents in their forties and fifties in TV advertising, and their enthusiasm for the Ponzi scheme introduced by investment intermediaries...

Haha, then what is the difference between a demon and a ghost?

Since we are not allowed to make ghost movies, how can Mao have a fairy tale drama?

Believing in ghosts is superstitious, but not believing in immortals? I didn’t see any actions by the General Administration in the world!

Isn’t it superstition that there are fairy temples that collect incense money everywhere?

Are they all feudal superstitions...

Therefore, when "A Chinese Ghost Story" applied for the project, the label was a magical monster and a magical type...

Zhang Junsheng has prepared two versions. If Nie Xiaoqian cannot be a female ghost, then he might as well change it to a fox demon...

Unexpectedly, the General Administration passed it directly. It is said that because some senior officials admired Zhang Junsheng...

...

"Pretty Ghost Story" is of course a commercial film!

Although it is claimed that the script referenced the version directed by Li Hanxiang, Zhang Junsheng knew very well that his version was made according to the old monster Xu.

Director Li Hanxiang's Chinese studies level is too high. His movies are full of classical literary temperament, and ordinary people cannot learn it!

Also, in Li Hanxiang's era, film was still art, and now it is more inclined to commercial works.

The most obvious difference between the version of Old Monster Xu and Li Hanxiang is the timeline!

Li Hanxiang's version has a famous timeline: the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

As the saying goes, if a country is about to perish, there will be evil spirits!

The era of broken mountains and rivers and social unrest has created a dangerous atmosphere and panic, which has also laid a good foundation for this ghost story!

The two main characters, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia, became close friends because of their resentment of serving the country without a chance.

Family and country hatred are what traditional literati always worry about!

Such things are also in line with Li Hanxiang's usual style.

Xu Laoqian's version is a purely entertainment commercial film, without mentioning the timeline at all. The main reason is that the audience at that time had already regarded movies more as an entertainment demand and was unwilling to mention grand topics such as the country, nation, and responsibility...

The audience doesn't care about the time when this story happened at all!

It's enough to have Lao Wang's jade feet to see...

The difference between the two versions is also reflected in the character design. Li Hanxiang's Ning Caichen is too close to Pu Songling's original "Nie Xiaoqian"...

Ning Caichen is a scholar who studied hard in a long time. The original text of "Nie Xiaoqian" has a description at the beginning: "The nature is generous and the integrity is respectful." And "there is no different in life."

Nie Xiaoqian smiled and said, "I can't sleep on the moonlit night, I wish to cultivate the swallows well." Ning Caichen replied with a stern voice: "You are guarding against things and I am afraid of others' words. If you make a mistake, you will be ashamed and lose your integrity."

The Chinese translation of "studying" refers to a feeling of "lost" when the genitals penetrate deep into the other party's negative genitals.

In other words, Ning Caichen did not want to experience loss, but was afraid of others' words...

In fact, in ancient China, the male protagonists appeared in the image of a scholar who studied hard during the ancient times, including "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "Records of Night Rain and Autumn Lamps", and "Zi Bu Yu".

Since they are created by literati, they represent a kind of hidden desire in the hearts of this type of literati!

Female ghosts are usually beautiful because they are fundamentally the objectified products projected by the scholar's subconscious desires!

By the way, fox demons usually don’t charm scholars. They are all hang out with well-known figures, such as King Zhou…

The old monster Xu Ning Caichen is just a dunk, but a handsome dunk...

Although he was a scholar, he had no fame and fortune, so he made a living by collecting accounts!

He has a very honest image, and even a little stupid...

Yan Chixia described Ning Caichen as "slim and graceful, with clean sleeves and elegant styles, and learning is not something that can be achieved...

The audience likes such protagonists. In this era, everyone has no interest in the stories of princes and princesses, handsome scholars and beautiful female ghosts. Don’t you see that the male lead in "Frozen" is all stinky, and the villain is the prince!

The penis saves the world, this is the victory of the civilians!

Of course, villains are very important for the type of gods and monsters. The villains must be strong. Otherwise, how can they highlight the protagonist's grandeur and brightness?

So, the villain is the Thousand Years Tree Demon.

Why the tree demon?

This reflects the ancient Chinese culture of tree worship, which is called plant worship in cultural anthropology.

Jin Zhen wrote in the article: "Chinese people like to plant cypress trees in cemeteries, which originated from a folk legend. According to legend, there was an evil beast called Wuliang who liked to steal corpses and livers. Every night, they would come out to dig the graves to eat corpses. This beast was flexible, had rapid movements, and was elusive, which was hard to guard against, but its nature was afraid of tigers and cypresses. Therefore, in order to avoid such evil beasts, the ancients often set up stone tigers and plant cypress trees in the cemetery."

In fact, in a sense, the version of Xu Lao Monster is closer to a martial arts film...

The victim's injustice, that is, the innocent passerby who was killed. Li Hanxiang's version is a scholar, but when he reaches Xu, he is a knight in the world!

He came to the ancient temple just to find Yan Chixia to compete in martial arts, for the name of the world's number one swordsman. Then, he failed to win the competition and was killed by a female ghost at night...

Li Hanxiang's version is beautiful and serious, and the feelings of family and country are clear and clear. The pictures and lines of Xu Laoqian's version are more interesting, but we can't say that there is no feelings for family and country at all!

However, Xu Laoqian's poems are obviously inferior to Li Hanxiang.

Ten miles of flat lakes are full of green in the sky, and the jade hairpin secretly cherishes the years. If the rain cover can protect each other, I will only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.

The sky is full of frost and the green hair is filled with melancholy. Looking at each other alone in the moon shape, I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.

Lao Xu obviously borrowed from Li Hanxiang's version!

...

Zhang Junsheng makes a movie.

And it is the first theater movie in his life. He definitely has no shortage of money for investment, but he still took the initiative to find Huaying.

After all, if a movie like "A Chinese Ghost Story" is reported by his colleagues, it will definitely be blocked!
Chapter completed!
