Creation background
Behind the scenes
The people behind The Legend of the White Snake are gold quality. In addition to Asian producer Cui Baozhu of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kung Fu, director and action supervisor Cheng Xiaodong and art director
Zhang Shuping
Editing director Lin Aner is a winner of the Hong Kong Film Award, and Director of photography Kang Guomin has also been nominated for the Golden Statue many times.
Screenplay adaptation
The film adapted from the film is quite different from the past in terms of characters and stories. The "Legend of the White Snake" contains the "five passions" : Xu Xian White Snake's "human demon love", the "demon love" between Neng and Green Snake, the "master and apprentice love" between Fa Hai and Neng Ren, the "sister love" between White Snake and Green snake, and Fa Hai's "great love" for sentient beings. Make close to the modern aesthetic.
In the character setting: in the film, Lady Bai becomes wild and frank, no longer a rich daughter, nor a young lady, but like modern young people, living in a hut with Xu Xian, wearing plain clothes, living a poor life and struggling together. Xu Xian became more masculine and knew how to pay for love, and there were many changes in his personality. Fa Hai is no longer a simple evil image in the past impression, but has become a role with emotion and law

"The Legend of the White Snake" follows a standard commercial film routine. The development of the story is smooth and rapid, and the transition between the transition and the transition are also arranged for lively action scenes to assist, and the whole has achieved one wave after another; Although the character shaping of the group of characters is not beyond the classic, at least the two roles of Fa Hai and Bai Suzhen have radiated their due glory. Law and emotion, etiquette and desire, man and demon, three antagonistic relations are presented one by one, creating a lot of drama conflicts in literary drama. Let the special effects become the protagonist of the movie. One of the major contributions of the White Snake is the special effects, in this point, the Legend of the White Snake has created the history of domestic blockbusters. The effects of a snake body, water flooding the Golden Mountain Temple and other scenes that usually only appear in Hollywood films in the past are at least "decent"
(Yangtse Evening Post review)
[29]
. At the beginning of the film, "Fahai Fantasy Battle Snow Monster" will bring the audience into the special effects world, the demon land of white snakes and green snakes is beautifully created by computer special effects, and the climax of the film is "water flooding Jinshan" at the end of the film, in about 30 minutes of fighting, the film creates a "2012" -like apocalyptic disaster scene
(NetEase Entertainment Review)
[30]
The film's visual effects and action scenes are somewhat out of touch with the emotions of the characters
(Sina Entertainment review)
[31]
; Compared with the special effects, the emotional drama is weak, and the white snake drama is too much compared with the Fa Hai drama. In the film, the love between White Snake and Xu Xian is too hasty and hasty, and the female chasing male drama is a little exaggerated, and the graceful and generous white lady has become a strange woman with strong personality
