The incident of Akina Nakamori's fall finally passed without a surprise. After all, it was just an accident. She was not seriously injured. The only thing that could be called an injury was sprained ankle.

Under the dual effects of the slaughter wine given by Chen Yu and the ointment prescribed by the doctor, she only took a day off and was basically fine. Although it was still a little painful, it basically did not affect her activity.

As for the remaining shots of the wire, Akina Nakamori didn't dare to insist on getting on her. Under the dual supervision of the crew and the agent, she obediently used a close-up shot and a stand-in to shoot all her shots, catching up on her work progress.

After this scene was shot, the crew will move to the temple that had been agreed in advance and start shooting of Lanruo Temple.

Chen Yu here uses the original story in the novel "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Lanruo Temple is an abandoned temple, while Yan Chixia is a knight living here, while Ning Caichen wanted to find a scholar who was studying and preparing for the exam. Because he liked the serenity and secludedness of Lanruo Temple, he lived here.

The original "A Chinese Ghost Story" used the setting here is that Ning Caichen came to collect the accounts, and hid in Lanruo Temple because it rained heavily, making a fictional era of people living in miserable life and demons. Although there was no problem with this setting, Chen Yu still made some modifications.

He deleted the original plot of the plot's description of the miserable environment of the people in Beiguo County, and simply explained why Ning Caichen lived in Lanruo Temple and why he lived in Lanruo Temple again.

The grandma, who occupied Lanruo Temple and harmed people everywhere in the original plot, was originally a complete villain, but she was just afraid of Yan Chixia's existence and did not dare to harm people at will.

Here, Chen Yu repositioned the identity of this character and modified it into an ancient tree in Lanruo Temple. When Lanruo Temple was in full bloom, he once heard the monks in the temple preaching and became spiritual.

One day, Lanruo Temple suffered a war disaster. The monks in the temple were killed by riots, and their bodies were piled under this ancient tree. The blood of the monks who died in vain and their resentment when they died flowed into the soil, turning this ancient tree into a demon.

However, although he became a demon, the tree demon's heart was still influenced by the preaching of the monks in the past, so he protected a group of female ghosts. They were all poor people with miserable life and had no good endings before their lifetime. There was no place to bury their bones after their death, and only the tree demon protected them.

But the tree demon also hated humans because the monks were massacred, and the female ghosts she protected also hated living people because of their experiences in her lifetime. Therefore, she used these female ghosts she protected to seduce the people living in Lanruo Temple. If she was upright in her heart and was not tempted by wine, sex, money, then nothing would happen.

But if you have not withstand the temptation of the female ghosts, you will be killed by the tree demon if you have any evil thoughts.

Here Chen Yu also specially added a monk. He was one of the monks who was killed at the time. He wanted to save her because of the depravity of the tree demon, so he was not reincarnated for a long time.

Of course, the role of this monk is not just about saving the tree demon. He finally made a reason for Chen Yu to let Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian go, and he is also an important factor used by Chen Yu to promote the development of the plot.

After all, in the Chen Yu version of the plot, he changed Yan Chixia from a sword immortal to a knight, so the fight scenes against demons in the subsequent plot require this monk to provide magical assistance.

This is also a modification made by Chen Yu in order to better accept the plot by Japanese audiences. After all, Buddhism and Shintoism are popular in Japan, and Taoist things and sword immortals are not very understandable by the Japanese.

In order to create the role of this monk more vividly, Chen Yu also specially asked the real monk in the temple, and modified many lines more in line with the image of a monk who was compassionate and wanted to save the demons.

———————————————

After the crew members arrived at the temple, Chen Yu, Tsui Hark and Toho's producers visited the temple monks together as representatives of the crew. After expressing their apology for disturbing them, the crew began to set up scenes in the temple.

After all, Lanruo Temple is an abandoned temple. Even though Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen live in a relatively complete place, some parts of this temple still need to be treated in old ways.

Fortunately, the monks had already learned in detail what the crew planned to do and generously expressed their permission. Therefore, the set work of the crew went smoothly. In addition, the preparations had been started before, so it took only half a day to waste the original ancient temple.

As the temple's setting was completed, the crew also carried out preparations for the filming in full swing.

"Chen Yujun, I still don't understand this paragraph about the script. Can you ask you for advice?" While the crew was preparing, Akina Nakamori came to Chen Yu with the script and wanted to consult him about some questions in the plot.

"Oh? Where is it?" When Chen Yu heard Akina Nakamori say that she didn't understand the plot, he was naturally very concerned. He took the script from her hand and looked down carefully.

"It's this where Xiaoqian tells her life experience." Akina Nakamori pointed to a passage specially circled by her in the script and asked Chen Yu: "This passage should be Xiaoqian telling Ning Caichen about her past and why she hates humanity? So what kind of emotions should she express here? Moreover, Xiaoqian was trying to kill Ning Caichen before, but why did she want to tell him about her life experience?"

Listening to Akina Nakamori's question, Chen Yu organized some language before explaining to her: "The dialogue here happened when Xiaoqian tested Ning Caichen three times and Ning Caichen was driven away, and the next day she killed another scholar and went to find Ning Caichen. At this time, Xiaoqian had a good impression of Ning Caichen because Ning Caichen had rejected her three times before, and Ning Caichen was questioning her why she wanted to kill people, so she explained to Ning Caichen the reason for her hatred of humanity.

As for Nie Xiaoqian's emotions here, it should be a catharsis of hatred, accusation of unfair fate, and a sad and miserable mood. This emotion is very complicated and not easy to interpret.

So if you want to grasp the emotions of this place, I suggest that Mingcaijiang read more of Xiaoqian's lines, and then put yourself in the shoes of yourself and imagine how you feel after you encounter all this, which may be helpful to you."
