Why the New White Snake is so classic is not only because of the addition of Zhao Yazhi, but also because of the sincerity of the producer. They were not like those later production parties, who thought that they would spend a lot of money to hire a star and the production could be sold in a rough way. They even spend most of their energy and money on production, so they can create a TV series that people can never tire of watching. Although there were shoddy works of that era, some classics really exhausted their best production skills at that time. This point is worth learning from later film and television production companies. As a TV drama celebrating the 30th anniversary of Taiwan TV, "803 Legend of White Snake" not only invited first-line actors, but also spent a lot of money to go to the mainland to shoot, bringing the real "West Lake" and "Jinshan Temple" into the plot. Other filming locations are also full of antiquity. The medical clinic where Xu Xian worshiped his teacher was "Qingyutang" in Hangzhou, "Zhanyuan" in the south view of Qingbomen Baifu, and "Jiming Temple" in the south view of Leifeng Pagoda. These places have become holy places for hardcore new white fans to check in. In order to show the world of gods and demons, the show spent more than 60,000 US dollars to import the most advanced special effects software for TV dramas in the world at that time from Milton to change the rough photography and editing in previous mythological dramas.
Because the special effects and the performances of the actors complement each other, so far, many netizens have used the magic tricks in cos dramas on social platforms. Every time I see a similar video, I feel emotional: the little friends who played the role of the white lady wearing a "mosquito net" started to unlock spells when they grew up. As the first domestic musical, "Legend of the White Snake" is also unique in music production. In order to maintain the unity of the music style of the whole play, all the music in the play is performed by Zuo Hongyuan. This top music producer in the Chinese music scene uses classical instruments such as "horizontal flute, xiao, pipa, and dulcimer" to enter the music, boldly innovates the traditional Huangmei tune, and finally presents a fresh, classic, and sincere music scene. The accompaniment staff is also professional in controlling the vocals. Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian is chic and romantic, and Xiaoqing is smart and playful. The appropriate singing design also enriches the characters' personalities. In order to match (addy) the plot, many of Huangmei's lyrics come from Chinese classics. Bai Suzhen's "Crossing me, Suzhen, out of the mortal world" comes from Buddhist scriptures; Xu Xian's "Sulphur is the essence of fire" comes from "Nineteen Fearful Songs" in "Medical Classics Primary School"; Xiaoqing's "Fate to Meet Thousand Miles" is derived from the earliest opera script "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan" in China; Such a combination of music, lyrics, and acting has given many audiences an unforgettable sense of freshness. And "Waiting for a Thousand Years" and the ending song "Crossing Love" have become unforgettable golden songs for generations, although they are sung softly and sang with passion. In order to ensure the folk character of "Legend", the scenes of worshiping ancestors in Qingming Festival, cattle and realgars at the southern end of the Yangtze River, crowding gods on birthdays of ancestors, and watching lanterns during Lantern Festival are restored in the play. When watching the drama, the intimacy of the audience arises spontaneously, as if that era has not gone far. In 1992 and 1993, "Legend of the New White Snake" won the annual ratings champion when it premiered on Baodao and mainland China. In 2004, 11 years after the premiere. CCTV1 and CCTV8 rebroadcasted again" and still won the annual crown of these two channels. But the achievement of this drama does not lie in how many times it won the ratings championship. Rather, it directly elevates the audience's aesthetics of film and television dramas, and even affects the values, outlook on life, and even the outlook on mate selection of generations. It has become the most beautiful memory in the golden years, which people will never tire of watching. The Buddha said: "karma and fruit retribution", the fruit planted by the "Legend of the White Snake" team carefully, forged a 27-year-long relationship with the audience. .
