A Tan nei zhuan

This movie is based on the play with the same name.

The only thing good about this movie is that it keeps the originality of the play, but sadly, keeping the originality of the play is a very bad thing to do.

The reason is that the original play written a few years earlier is a complete failure. The plot was unclear, and when it was first performed, the audience thought it was a comedy and laughed when the performers on the stage were crying, and at that particular instance, it was a tragic moment and audience was supposed to feel sad if not crying with the performers.

However, the unexpected failure of the original intend made the play a financial success: relatively speaking, the play was a box office hit in comparison to other plays at the time.
