Many years later, when the river at the base of Black Mountain dried up, the villagers made the decision to search for a water source on the mountain.

The villagers all fear to enter the mountain and the Lan Ruo temple within the mountain. There were spirits and tree monsters living on Black Mountain and these demons were always engaged in slaughter and bloodshed. The story takes place in an ancient mountain village. For those too young to have seen the original, the storyline is good enough to watch on its own too. For those who have seen the original, do catch it to revisit the classic.

The movie is now showing in Singapore cinemas. Who would audience prefer to win Xiaoqian’s heart? Rachel and I rooted for the latter. Yu Shaoqun played a perfect wimp, sharply contrasting Louis Koo’s strong alpha-male character.

Liu Yifei looks stunningly beautiful as Xiaoqian and brings a youthful vibrancy to the character. Other than the same character names and similar looking, but updated sets, the storyline is quite different from the original, focusing more on the love stories between the characters. Rachel was even moved to tears at the ending scene. Nonetheless, both of us enjoyed the movie very much. We had both watched the original and were initially a little sceptical about the 2011 version. Rachel and I caught the movie at the gala premiere last week, thanks to the folks from Encore Films. Hence it is best to avoid comparison from the start. When the original trilogy is so successful and iconic, no matter how good the 2011 version might be, no one will admit it is better than the original even if it is really so. I make a romantic love story not a ghost story.” I have just selected one of the famous ‘Ghost Story’ to play out in a feature film that is filled with oriental fantasy. In an interview, director Wilson Yip stressed that his movie is not a remake: “A Chinese Ghost Story is not a remake movie. Instead of a straight-forward love story between two star-crossed lovers, the 2011 version pairs Xiaoqian with Caichen as her new lover and Chixia as an old lover, complicating the relationship interplay between the characters. The 2011 version of A Chinese Ghost Story, alternatively known as A Chinese Fairy Tale, is directed by Wilson Yip and stars Liu Yifei as Nie Xiaoqian (聶小倩), Yu Shaoqun as Ning Caichen (寧采臣) and Louis Koo as Yan Chixia (燕赤霞). It also turned the two main characters, lovely female vixen ghost, Nip Siu-sin (聶小倩) and testosterone-driven scholar, Ning Choi-san (寧采臣) into household names. The movies made stars out of Joey Wong and the late Leslie Cheung. Most of my peers will remember the original Tsui Hark’s A Chinese Ghost Story《倩女幽魂》trilogy in the 1980s.
