The scholar, who was staying at the ancient temple, was reading by lamplight at night.
A beautiful woman suddenly appeared, her long sleeves fluttering and her black hair flowing in the air. The scholar could not resist her beauty and thus succumbed to her charms.
As the eerie sound of wind chimes echoed outside the ancient temple, a giant tongue ripped open the window and took the scholar's life...
As soon as the film reached this point, a collective gasp filled the theater.
Clearly, no one expected that this 'A Chinese Ghost Story' would start with such a terrifying scene.
Fortunately, the real story only began when the four large characters for "Movie" crashed onto the screen...
In the desolate wilderness, another scholar carrying a book box approached, seemingly foreshadowing the story that was about to unfold.
At the same time, the film's theme song started playing at just the right moment:
Life's journey...a beautiful dream is as long as the road...
'The road is lined with wind and frost... wind and frost... blowing dry on my face...'
The music starts.
The expressions of the audience in the screening room immediately became interesting, and they began to whisper among themselves:
"I didn't expect that! I thought Director Xu wouldn't compose any music for the film this time, but he actually did!"
"I don't know what this song is called, but it's so nice. It instantly dispelled the scary atmosphere from before."
"It seems that the movie was released too quickly, so even this great song hasn't been released yet."
"Amazing! Putting everything else aside, the movie soundtrack alone is already of high quality."
I was initially a little worried that Director Xu's film would be poorly made, but now I'm full of confidence.
...
Ordinary viewers were surprised, and those familiar with Xu Lu were equally astonished.
The two girls, who were wearing large sunglasses for the first time when they entered the movie theater, looked quite shocked.
"Wow, I really didn't expect this. It's only been two days from filming to the release, and there's already such a great background song."
I wonder when Director Xu composed this? It's so beautiful! Our Xu family has such a rich cultural heritage!
Lin Xiaoxin sighed.
Wang Zuxian, who was standing next to him, nodded and whispered among himself:
"When we were filming, I didn't really have any idea what the final product would look like."
But after watching the actual film, I realized that the movie we acted in is actually quite captivating.
"Of course! Don't you know who the director of our film is? It's Director Xu, okay?"
Group leader, you're going to be famous this time, you're definitely going to be famous, I have a strong feeling about it..."
Let's not even talk about these two newcomers.
On the other side, Boss Yang and her group also looked completely surprised.
"Xu Lu has actually written a new song again, without letting anyone know beforehand!"
Dilraba spoke up.
Mr. Yang nodded and said:
“Every time, I remember that if there was a movie soundtrack, Xu Lu would release the music first to promote it.”
I didn't expect him to come so quietly this time; it seems he has absolutely no intention of giving those bandits a way out.
...
Fortunately, although the music was beautiful, it couldn't overshadow the brilliance of the storyline.
Soon, all the viewers were engrossed in the unfolding plot.
First, the scholar witnessed a swordsman killing a bandit while he was caught in the rain. Later, because his account book got wet and he couldn't collect the debts, he was forced to wander the streets.
Fortunately, someone suggested he stay at the nearby Lanruo Temple, but the people around him seemed quite sensitive to those three words...
By this point, some observant viewers had already noticed something was amiss:
"Wow, isn't this Lanruo Temple the one with the words on the stone tablet at the very beginning of the movie?"
You could tell from the villagers' expressions that something eerie was definitely going on there.
"That's right! Scholars must not go, otherwise they may end up like that scholar before them."
"But he didn't know, it's over, he's gone... hiss... there's fighting here..."
"Haha, the scholar is actually caught between two masters, and he actually wants to use love to resolve their feud."
...
"I originally thought that swordsman was already very strong, killing so many bandits all by himself."
But I didn't expect this Yan Chixia to be even more formidable, and the actor playing him was fantastic.
"Holy crap, this ancient temple is definitely haunted. These moving things look like skeletons, don't they?"
"Oh no, oh no, the swordsman was actually attracted to that female ghost. Holy crap, now I can see that tongue clearly."
What kind of monster has that tongue? Such a powerful swordsman, turned into a dried-up corpse in an instant! How terrifying!
"Um... it's a bit scary, but this swordsman turned into a dried-up corpse and still bit Yan Chixia is just too much."
...
"Seriously, isn't this female ghost incredibly beautiful? I suddenly feel like I've fallen for her."
"Yes, if I were that swordsman, I wouldn't be able to resist such a beautiful female ghost either."
"Could this female ghost be the female lead in the movie? Director Xu's judgment is still reliable!"
"I have to say, this female lead has a special charm. Isn't she 'pitiful'? Isn't she 'alluring'?"
...
"Zuzu, your performance was amazing! Even as a girl, I felt attracted to you."
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxin shook Wang Zuxian's arm and said.
Even Wang Zuxian himself was somewhat surprised that his performance was actually quite good.
She began to speak:
"It's all thanks to Director Xu's excellent guidance and the post-production editing. I'm actually just average."
"Don't be modest. Look at all the people around you, they're all saying how beautiful the female lead is."
