I'm most appreciative of the 1992 Zhao Yazhi version of The Legend of the New White Lady, which was produced by Cao Jingde and starred Zhao Yazhi as the White Lady and Ye Dong as Xu Xian.
The picture shows Zhao Yazhi, Ye Tong practicing her form seriously under the guidance of a form master.
"White lady, you have worked hard! Drink a cup of hot water to quench your thirst!" This is the scene where the armed police officers who took part in the performance asked the "White Lady" to drink water.
When the production of stunt shots, most of the action relies on the actors "to really", now it is different, many stunts can be electronic technology to deal with.
The scenery in the photo above is as beautiful as a fairyland. This is the first time that I've ever seen a movie that was shot in the middle of the night, and I've never seen a movie that was shot in the middle of the night, and I've never seen anything like it.
The scene above is being filmed with the white snake being collected by Fahai, it is said that at that time, the grass snake, the red snake, the yellow snake, the gray snake, the green snake can be found, but it is difficult to find the white snake, the white snake biography is not the white snake, how can it be done? What should we do? Road county division of a bright idea, with a white self-slurping paint sprayed a white snake:
The shooting footage of this play "The Legend of the New White Lady" is also very exciting. The story is also very wonderful. A collection of mythological drama legend story as a whole, is a good TV series that you will never tire of watching.
An era, a classic!

This is their crew together to celebrate, at that time is a very ambitious film and television work.
The photos of the opening of the cast, the actors are wearing costumes from the TV series, the scene looks very interesting, Zhao Yazhi gentle, Ye Tong beautiful.
The girls of the cast took a photo together, they have different roles in the drama and may be rivals, but in private they are still very good friends.
Ye Tong and Zhao Yazhi hugged each other, and I have to say, Ye Tong is really the best actor to play Xu Xian.
A pair of enemies in front of the stage, immortal, but behind the scenes, but cozy photo together, just Fahai looked at Zhao Yazhi's eyes a little, and no wonder, it is really Zhao Yazhi is too beautiful.
There is no rivalry, Fahai is still a very gentle person, crossing his legs and smoking a cigarette, Zhao Yazhi sitting on the side.
After watching these behind-the-scenes footage finally know why this drama can become a classic
We have to thank all the actors and staff for their sincere attitude and dedication, so that the "Legend of the New White Snake" is still charismatic after 25 years
People will grow old, memories will decline, but the classic will not die
There was a time when I was a kid. When I was a kid, I couldn't understand the Legend of the White Snake. I always felt that Xu Xian was played by a woman, and then I couldn't understand why the White Snake was married to a woman. After a little bit bigger, I realized that the original Xu Xian is a female actor, but her role from beginning to end is to play a male
If you say that you never watch domestic TV series, a little exaggerated, more or less watched dozens of, such as "Journey to the West", "Yongzheng Dynasty", "towards **** and", "Wulin Outreach", "Cliffhanger", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Legends of the shopkeepers", "life and death", "Ming Dynasty", etc., etc. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this.

p> From the "New White Lady Legend" broadcast has been 26 years, even if it has been so long, there are still many people will from time to time to revisit this never out of date play, although now Ye Tong and Zhao Yazhi has been over fifty, but still many people's hearts indelible classic, many male friends will be the play of the White Lady perfect as their choice of spouse standard, the play she is gentle and skilful Many girls have been influenced by this drama and are looking forward to love. Recently, I found some behind-the-scenes footage of them at the time, so I'll share it with you.
Zhao Yazhi was too beautiful when she was young, which is a demon? In this photo, the white lady is leaning on the shoulder of Fa Hai, a shy look, this picture looks very comfortable feeling.
Then compared to the last one, this one of Ye Tong is very naughty, with Fa Hai in the weird, to say the least, and the role in the drama is also completely different it. But then again, this Zhao Yazhi is also too beautiful!
It turns out that Ye Tong already had so many fans at that time. It is really around the filming site, and I do not know so many small fans of the leaf child, your home white lady know it ~
I really found Zhao Yazhi is simply suitable for any shape, any angle of the shooting. Whether it's a far shot or a close up shot are so good looking. But eh? Apart from Fa Hai and the White Lady, who are the two behind her, dressed so foreign too, so nice!
This is the White Lady and Xiaoqing reading the script oh, low head Zhao Yazhi is really super good-looking! But then again Xiao Qing's side face is also perfect! Zhao Yazhi really suitable for all the words to describe the beautiful it, although now Zhao Yazhi has 63 years old, but still young with a little girl like, twenty years old I really feel inferior! We all prefer which one?
Taiwan's television market is very fast-paced, basically are shooting while cutting side broadcast, the first 30 episodes of the new white screenwriter Gonmin, is because the producers because the new white broadcast very popular to add 20 episodes of the play, Gonmin only left the crew, because Gonmin think the new white play to the White Queen was income Leifeng Tower on the end of the play. The last 20 episodes were rewritten by 4 or 5 writers, so in many cases the timeline did not match up, and there was a misalignment of the chronological order
