Im no expert on Vuescan but try this settings on negative scanning
Select your color space Adobe RGB Color Match etc
Set gamma lower 1.4 or 1.6
Image brightness 0.8 0.9 instead of 1
This settings gives me better results, more contrast etc
Increase contrast later on in photoshop about 15-20%
work with curves to correct the middle tones
Increase color saturation until you are satisfied.
Slide scanning go back to original settings in Vuescan , default settings
which are rely good.
Let me know if this helps you
