The 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is truly a classic!
Xiao Qian
Xiao Qian, played by Wang Zuxian, fascinated me the moment she appeared outside the window. The fluttering blue hair brushed across her beautiful face, and her sad eyes seemed to rub into the bottom of my heart. Such a beautiful female ghost is willing to be sucked dry!
Ning Caichen, played by Leslie Cheung, is bookish, cute, sunny, handsome, brave and upright. People unconsciously think that Ning Caichen should be like this.
The sky is covered with frost in the ten-mile flat lake, and every inch of blue silk stockings is full of sorrow
Leslie Cheung was born in 1956 and was already 31 years old. Before that, the most popular movie he had made was "Hero" "True Colors", in the early days, he had no great achievements in movies and could only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry.
There is also a "Dream of Red Mansions", haha
Wang Zuxian was born in 1967 and was 20 years old at the time. He only entered the entertainment industry in 1984 with "The Lakeside Will Be Very Cold This Year".
Before 1987, the most popular movie she had filmed was "Goodbye Seven Days of Love", but her acting skills have always been criticized (although from the perspective of the 21st century, it is very good) ), basically starring in his true colors - Hua Vase, who can only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry.
It will be very cold by the lake this year
But just two newcomers to the film industry, in the summer of 1987, with only 3 weeks of release, they faced "Autumn" at the same time. "The Fairy Tale", "The Oriental Condor" and "The Fight between Dragons and Tigers".
You must know that "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "The House of Dragons and Tigers" both starred Chow Yun-fat. At that time, he was extremely popular. "The most popular is not Chung Chu-hong, and the most popular is not Chow Yun-fat." "Eastern Condor" is still Sammo Hung's ambitious work, and it is Hong Kong's first true war film.
Then, Jackie Chan's "Plan A Sequel" was released, and then "A Chinese Ghost Story" was hastily taken off the production line.
Even so, "A Chinese Ghost Story" still achieved a box office of 18.83 million, ranking 15th at the box office of Hong Kong movies of the year. This is enough to show how powerful this film is.
After this film was released in Japan and South Korea, it sold like crazy in South Korea, causing crazy pursuit in Japan and South Korea. Wang Zuxian became the top actress in Japan and South Korea.
The Japanese even call her "the most beautiful legs in Asia".
Even in the beauty rankings of the 21st century, Koreans still rank her at the top.
The so-called pear blossom with rain
Leslie Cheung was a passionate young man when he was young. After the age of 30, he became very humble and considerate, and often took care of newcomers. When filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", Joey Wong felt that he was like a considerate big brother, so he called him "brother." From then on the nickname spread.
There are also rumors on the Internet that it was Karen Mok who shouted, and some said it was a joke between Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin.
It is easy to judge that if a nickname is only called once or twice, it is generally difficult to spread. Only when it is called often will it be remembered.
What do you think of this movie?
I will share it here for now, and I will find time to dig deeper in the future.
It is time-consuming to check the information, and it is not easy to create original code.
Thanks for reading.
