I believe that everyone must be very familiar, a paper umbrella, the broken bridge met, from then on the love of three lives.

That song "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It can be described as the king of "night scenes".

Yes, that's right, it's the theme song of "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Wait a Thousand Years".

Not only the song is loved by the public, the TV series is a household name, once became a classic, and Zhao Yazhi, the actor of the White Lady, has also become the immortal goddess of many people.

With a detached and elegant temperament and a smiling posture, it is difficult to imagine that he was 39 years old when he was shooting.

Of course, "The Legend of the New White Lady" has many other versions in addition to this classic that can be said to be a classic in the classic.

For example, another "The Legend of the White Snake" starring Liu Tao, although the white snake lacks a bit of classical charm and immortality, the Xu Xian in the play can be described as the standard of a modern good man.

In the book anger, there are more firm choices for the white snake, and that glance is really full of love.

He was not afraid of Fahai's threats, and even shouted at Fahai, calling him cold-blooded and ruthless.

It is rare to be so courageous and single-minded, and very handsome Xu Xian.

But is Fahai really as ruthless as he says? Or does Fahai really not understand love?

In 1993, "Green Snake", which was released in Hong Kong, completely subverted the image of Fahai.

This bald head, no longer a monk with high mana but "no humanity", no longer cold eyes full of heart just want to break up Xu Xian and the White Lady, originally should be the Golden Mountain Temple flooded by the white snake, who knows, this time it was Fahai himself who flooded his own door, Xu Xian should be dedicated, who knows, actually fell in love with Xiao Qing, and was also scared to death by the real body of the two, which can be described as wonderful and breathtaking.

I can only sigh that the Xu Ke Great Demon King is worthy of the Xu Ke Great Demon King!

Yes, this version of the green snake is directed by Xu Ke, and everyone should be very familiar with his style.

He is a famous Hong Kong director, a master of Chinese martial arts films, very good at combining classicism with the spirit of modern humanism.

Since ancient literature and art and martial arts "two family", but he has achieved the two blended together, while watching martial arts dramas, there is also a sense of beauty of watching literary and art films, the theme and the reality revealed behind it is also very worth thinking about.

Played by Maggie Cheung as Qing Snake, Wang Zuxian as White Snake, Zhao Wenzhuo as Fahai, Wu Xingguo as Xu Xian, proper super high appearance, each scene seems to be a scenery that makes people sigh.

In terms of character modeling, Xu Ke tried his best to invite the famous film art director and costume designer Zhang Shuping.

Coupled with the background, many times like ink paintings, flowing and moving.

Netizens commented on the film: "Enchanting and poetic presentation of light and shadow ..."

The most thought-provoking thing in the film is the emotional entanglement of the four people, especially the personality change of Fahai.
