What was the hottest in that year, it will appear at the New Year's Eve party of Station B. And "White Snake Legend " for the young people of station B, the meaning is particularly unusual.

After the film was officially released on May 20, 2021, countless young people in Station B became the "tap water" of "White Snake Love", word of mouth "called" for the film, and the surging cries of "adding a row of films for "White Snake Love" even reached the ears of theater managers across the country. Soon, this Cantonese opera film spread all over the country, not only easily refreshing the highest box office record of Chinese film history, but also becoming a phenomenon-level case of Chinese traditional culture "out of the circle" through movies in 2021.

Art "boundless": traditional art only adds points and does not subtract points
This year's B Station New Year's Eve Party has adopted a new form - the live broadcast room of the party separates two "time and space", and the audience can choose one of the "time and space" to enter. Several major programs, including the "White Snake Legend and Love" theme show, will appear in different versions in different "time and space", which gives the audience in different live broadcast rooms the surprise of "opening the blind box".
Taking the theme show of "White Snake Legend and Love" as an example, a song "Waiting for Your Return" has performed a thousand years of strings. The audience in the "fantasy time and space" saw the "white snake" Zeng Xiaomin who lingered on the broken bridge, and after a beautiful singing, Xu Xian, played by Liang Hanwen, appeared offstage and looked at her from afar. In "Magic Time and Space", the audience first saw Liang Hanwen in modern costumes, and when he sang in the mirror, the appearance of Xu Xian in ancient costume appeared in the mirror, and this strange and familiar figure gradually awakened his memory. In the end, the two "time and space" viewers saw the Liang And Han cultural body Xu Xian at the same time, walking on the broken bridge to the millennium covenant. Some netizens lamented that this program is both beautiful and ingenious: "There are thoughts in the world, and there are thousands of years after floating." This year's B Station New Year's Eve Party, a new trick across time and space, is customized for "White Snake Legend " ! ”
On and off stage, on and off screen, past and present, tradition and modernity, virtual and reality... Break boundaries. This form of "fancy dialogue" is actually the reason why the B station New Year's Eve party will catch fire every year.
"White Snake Legend and Love" uses special effects to bring the innovative form of opera film to the extreme.
The idea of "no boundaries" in art also explains why "White Snake Biography and Love", which has traditional opera genes, can become a sample of cultural integration in the Internet age. Zeng Xiaomin, the lead actor of the film, once revealed in an interview with the media that the film has had a seemingly paradoxical insistence from the time of planning - both insisting on shooting for young people and insisting on the beauty of traditional opera itself as "only extra points and no subtractions". In the later creation, the main creative team integrated the blankness and charm of the Song Dynasty aesthetics in the opera, coupled with the image expression of modern film 4K technology, and exerted the innovative display form of the opera film to the extreme with up to 90% of the special effects screen. This has led to the exclamation of countless audiences that "every frame is as beautiful as wallpaper", and there are also the empathy and resonance of non-Cantonese-speaking audiences who have expressed "planting grass Cantonese opera" after watching it.
