No one knew what Guan Wanwan and Li Yuqi had said. When Guan Jibai returned, a brand new script was already on the table.
"The script was sent by your Uncle Li. I asked you to study it carefully first. They have already come to invest, and we can start filming next year at the latest."
"oh!"
Guan Jibai didn't think much about it. He picked up the script and told Guan Wanwan that he had already had dinner. Then he went back to his room and started reading the script.
Then she suffered from insomnia.
I was deeply attracted by the heroine of the play "Murder".
The story is set in the 1940s. The heroine is named Xu Manzhi. Her parents died early and she grew up with her uncle. When she was sixteen, she was sold by her uncle and aunt to a sickly girl from a wealthy family to bring good luck.
Less than three days after her marriage, Bingyangzi died. Xu Manzhi wore mourning clothes and kowtowed to see him off, but she could not escape the fate of being forced to be buried with him. In the crisis, she was saved by Gu Huaiyu, the male protagonist of the movie and the uncle of Bingyangzi's husband.
She became Gu Huaiyu's sixth concubine.
Xu Manzhi was grateful and thought that Gu Huaiyu was her salvation and a light in her life, but in the end she was slapped hard in the face by reality.
Gu Huaiyu is successful in his career and has a great reputation, but he has many concubines in the backyard. Xu Manzhi is like a pure little white rabbit who ignorantly breaks into a jungle full of swords and endless fighting.
At first, Xu Manzhi was doted on, but Gu Huaiyu wanted Xu Manzhi's pure and innocent soul and kind and clear eyes.
But purity and kindness cannot survive in the Gu family.
The woman who could survive could not be Gu Huaiyu's favorite. Faced with the cruel reality, Xu Manzhi chose to live. The once pure and kind little girl lost herself step by step in the betrayal of her personal servant, the calculations of other concubines and the pain of losing her child.
She became one of the many women in Gu Huaiyu's backyard, and took up her indestructible weapon, stepping on the maids, concubines, Gu Huaiyu's beloved, Gu family members... and finally ascended to a position that no one dared to bully.
This was a murder of humanity. The pure and kind Xu Manzhi's humanity died bit by bit. She picked up the weapon again and killed everyone.
The script contains many wonderful dialogues, the kind that any excerpt can become a classic.
Xu Manzhi's invincible weapon is nothing but women's tears.
Guan Jibai counted and found that Xu Manzhi had at least 210 crying scenes throughout the entire script, each with a different purpose and expression. Some were mournful and desolate, some were tearful, some were joyful and delightful, and some were heartbreaking and soul-stirring.
But every time she cried, she had a purpose. She turned her tears into the most ruthless blade, completing a murder of humanity and revenge of fate.
Guan Jibai read until dawn. After closing the script, his emotions were still immersed in Xu Manzhi and he couldn't pull himself away for a long time.
Guan Jibai thinks that "Murder of Tears" would be more appropriate.
She was certain that Li Yuqi wouldn't include this book in his numerous works over the next thirty years. Perhaps it was tailor-made for her. The story was truly captivating, exploring willfulness and revealing the inner world of women in a unique way.
Coupled with Jiang Dafeng's strong personal shooting style and unique violent aesthetics, this movie will definitely become a classic.
After getting up, Guan Jibai stood in the yard and pondered for a long time. It was not until the sun came out and the warm sunlight shone on his body that he finally pulled himself out of Xu Manzhi's emotions.
She can't wait.
