Transforming into twin actresses, offering a glimpse into the cutthroat world of entertainment.

In the scene, on a brightly lit stage, a stunningly beautiful actress in a blue costume is singing, her fingers delicately gesturing.

"When my love is in joy, I am heartbroken. Only the moon knows my sorrow. Meeting is hard, parting is easy. Now, the abandoned wife regrets too late. Do you remember the phoenix that once rivaled me? Do you remember how I betrayed you and went to another branch..."

"It's the Cantonese opera 'Selling Meat to Raise a Hundred Orphans'!" Among the audience in Guangdong Province, some who were familiar with Cantonese opera immediately recognized it.

On stage, a stunningly beautiful performer is singing.

The audience was large, and cheers erupted from all sides.

There were two children, a boy and a girl.

That boy was Li Qiang, who was ten years old at the time.

This part was modified by the girl.

It was inspired by Si Teng's opera performance.

Li Qiang recalled: "Aunt Mei suffered a miserable childhood. When she was three years old, she was abandoned by her biological parents outside the theater. Fortunately, the Cantonese opera star Chu Xuan was kind-hearted and adopted Aunt Mei, named her Chu Renmei, and taught her to sing opera."

"The time Aunt Mei spent learning opera from Mr. Chu Xuan was probably the best time of her life..."

Screen switching.

There was a lovely little girl who started by learning to read and write, and then began to learn to sing opera... In the process of learning opera, she grew up day by day and eventually blossomed into a graceful young woman.

A young woman in the theater has come of age, her beauty unparalleled, captivating all who behold her.

Viewers are forced to endure the visual assault of Youyue's beauty.

They were all mesmerized.

It's hard to imagine that such a vicious female ghost was once so beautiful, with a face that could shame the moon and flowers.

Actually.

The Chu woman in the original film wasn't particularly beautiful, given the low production cost.

But with You Mingyue's looks, figure, temperament and acting skills, when she played Chu Renmei, everyone felt... this is just too beautiful!

Why would someone suddenly want to defect to the camp of vengeful spirits?

Auntie Mei is killing me!

If you're bold enough, Chu Renmei can take maternity leave!

Both male and female viewers were lost in thought.

Only children have pure thoughts.

They just felt that the older sister on the big screen was really beautiful.

In the film, Chu Renmei's sweet smile instantly captivated countless female viewers.

next second.

Her smile froze.

"However, the good times didn't last long. When Aunt Mei was twenty, Mr. Chu Xuan passed away due to illness. At this time, the theater also closed down due to years of turmoil and the inability to manage the business. With nowhere to go, Aunt Mei followed a teacher to Huangshan Village."

"That teacher's name was Bu Wantian. All the tragedies originated from this beast!!!" Li Qiang was extremely agitated. Even though it had been almost a hundred years since then, he still gritted his teeth and hated him to the bone when he talked about this person.

Without Bu Wantian's infatuation, there wouldn't have been the later resentment-filled Chu Renmei.

On the big screen, the scenes change.

One day in 1936, after Chu Renmei finished performing, she taught Zeng Xiang and Qian'er to sing opera in a teahouse.

This Qian'er is actually the red-clad female ghost that the four people saw at the very beginning of the movie when they were playing a summoning game and had their eyes closed.

In the ancestral hall in the deserted village, there is also a memorial tablet for Qian'er, right next to the memorial tablet for Chu Renmei.

Zeng Xiang was the mentally challenged old man in the restaurant. After he revealed Chu Renmei's secret in the restaurant, Qian'er appeared in the elevator and killed Zeng Xiang.

After Zeng Xiang and Qian'er left.

Little Li Qiang ran over, sat on the stool, and asked, "Congratulations, Aunt Mei! What's the name of that drama club?"

"Enter my Mirror Drama Club".

"Drama club?"

Chu Renmei patiently explained, "It's shadow puppetry."

"However, you don't need to know so much, Xiaoqiang. You must keep this a secret and not let Wantian know."

Li Qiang said, "You're so mean. Teacher Bu will definitely scold you. A girl acting out a civilized play with someone..."

audience:? ? ?

One by one, they perked up.

Could it be one of those... indescribable scenes?

Chu Renmei had a lot of fun a hundred years ago.

But upon closer reflection, something doesn't seem right; that era couldn't have been so open.

Actually, the so-called "shadow play" refers to early films, while "civilized play" refers to an early form of spoken drama in China, which mainly used language and actions as its expressive techniques; it was also known as "new drama."

In that era, breaking with tradition was considered despicable by those with conservative mindsets.

Chu Renmei performs in modern dramas to earn money because Bu Wantian is addicted to opium and has accumulated a huge debt, which she needs to pay off.

She asked Li Qiang to keep it a secret and gave him an exquisite safety bracelet, saying she would grant him any request...

……

The movie is playing at a fast pace.

Chu Renmei is dead.

And he was beaten to death!

It turns out that Bu Wantian decided to kill his wife, Chu Renmei, in order to marry the rich daughter of the top money house in Guangdong.

He conspired with the hoodlum Tian Qi to set a trap.

Framed Chu Renmei as a promiscuous woman, this would have ruined the reputation of the entire village at the time and would have resulted in her being beaten to death.

But that woman, so devoted to love, wept as she lay dying, saying to Bu Wantian:

"I hid Tianqi's money under the stairs."

"You took the money, so return it to them as soon as possible, and don't smoke opium anymore. Opium is not something we can afford."

"It's all fate. As for Tian Qi, just consider it an affair between me and her. If you tell people it was your doing, it will only implicate you. You've been so good to me these past two years, consider this my way of repaying you. You should live a good life from now on and find a good woman to marry..."

Then, Chu Renmei was beaten to death.

This foolish woman, even at the end, was still thinking of her husband.

Little did they know that Bu Wantian was the real mastermind behind the murder.

Li Qiang said he was ruthless and vicious, and that a man without ruthlessness is no man at all.

Seeing this scene, countless viewers clenched their fists, filled with rage.

"The people of Chu are beautiful and pitiful."

"No wonder he's so resentful!"

"She completely wasted her sincerity."

“That Bu Wantian is a real scoundrel, and those villagers deserve it too.”

"Beating them to death, it's so pitiful."

"So annoying! Why do beautiful women always run into jerks?!"

"So cruel."

"The human heart is terrifying."

Sometimes, what's scarier than ghosts is people!

Ironically, such things happen quite often in real society... Sigh 1.0.

"..."

The audience members whispered among themselves.

On the screen, after Chu Renmei died, Zhang San found a tattered mat, wrapped Chu Renmei's body in it, and threw it into the desolate graveyard behind the mountain.

No one expected that a renowned Cantonese opera star would meet such a tragic end because of a bad relationship with the wrong person.

night sky.

Dark clouds obscured the bright moon, and the sky became gloomy and inexplicable.

A cold wind blew by.

The air was thick with the smell of decay and blood.

Occasionally, there are eerie cries from unknown birds.

At the desolate gravesite, a roll of straw mat lay quietly on the ground, inside which lay a woman's corpse.

At this moment, eerie music began to play.
