1, actor
Kiku, a once-in-four-thousand-year-old beauty, plays the beautiful and elegant Lady White Snake, Alan Yu, who is full of fairy tales, plays the handsome and handsome Xu Xian, Shane, who is young and lively, plays the playful and lovely Xiaoqing, and Tim, who is cold and handsome, plays Fahai. Judging from the casting of several leading actors, both the image and personality are very consistent with the characters in the play.
In order to show sincerity, they also invited Cecilia Yip, the actor of the old version of Xu Xian, and Chen Meiqi, the actor of Xiaoqing, to make guest appearances in the play, giving people a surprise of traveling through time and space, which can be said to be full of absolute sincerity and a sense of connecting the past with the future.
Both young actors and old actors are dedicating a perfect work to everyone. Although the acting skills of the little actors are not particularly mature, they still show the personalities of several roles in place, and some details are brilliant, which brings us many surprises.
2, clothing, makeup, props
The opening of the play is full of ancient rhyme, which is inseparable from clothing, makeup and props (hereinafter referred to as "service"). Full of classical charm, there is a feeling of watching Jiangnan calligraphy and painting. The Road to Service is dominated by sky blue, which visually presents a beautiful and moving ink painting style for the audience. The only fly in the ointment is that we didn't shoot in the real West Lake, because the reputation of the West Lake is always crowded, and it is understandable that it will be inconvenient for the crew to shoot.
3. Music
Both the opening song and the ending song are the old version of the new White Snake. Although there are some minor changes, it does not affect the significance of paying tribute to the classics. The new white snake actor kiku's re-singing is more perfect with the whole plot picture, and the music and plot complement each other, which plays a very good role in rendering the plot atmosphere.
Step 4 plot
The plot of the play has changed a lot compared with before, and some new characters have been added, which is unacceptable to many old fans, but in fact it is the intention and innovation of the new version.
It has been 27 years since the old version of the legend of the new White Snake. Although the love between White Snake and Xu Xian is earth-shaking, it may not be understood yet. The new version of the story combines the current love situation with the young people's love concept, which is more in line with the appetite of the current audience.
What's more commendable is that although the plot of the play has been greatly adapted, besides the love story between Xu Xian and White Snake, there are many feeder lines, but the plot is not delayed at all. The story that can be performed in one episode will never be delayed to two episodes, and there is no delay and extension of the story for the sake of traffic, which is very in line with the tastes of people who are now pursuing fast food.
Generally speaking, the play is a successful adaptation. Although there are still many flaws, it can't erase its wonderful and intention. I believe this drama will become a classic memory of another group of people like the 92 edition after many years.
