Why does the legend of the new White Snake always sing?

Because the legend of the new White Snake adopted a new Huangmei tune in the play. Cao Jingde, the producer of The Legend of the New White Snake, said at the beginning of filming that Mr. Xiong Wu Ting, the manager of the TV program department, had an idea: to make a drama that can promote the traditional culture of China and emphasize Huangmei tune.

Therefore, the later Legend of the New White Snake had a singing mode, which was not only a household name, but also caused everyone's singing decline. In terms of expression, it is also easier to innovate. For example, the Huangmei tune in the play specially invited the famous composer Mr. Zuo Hongyuan to create the so-called new Huangmei tune.

The overall taste of the new Huangmei tune is national, while the material is lyrical and trendy. The music produced by The Legend of the New White Snake combines modern and classical music, and is played by modern synthetic instruments, but the opening and ending of the film, as well as the flute, Hu Qin and other instruments appearing near the end, are all played.

In this play, Xiaoqing is played by Chen Meiqi. It's bred by green snakes. The handmaid and sister of the White Snake are smart and have a clear love and hate. Although she and the White Snake are nominally masters and servants, they are actually sisters.

Extended data:

The Legend of the New White Snake was introduced to the mainland in 1993, and Angie Chiu, Cecilia Yip and Chen Meiqi dominated the screen. More than 20 years later, there are still repeated broadcasts by TV stations. Cao Jingde, the producer of The Legend of the New White Snake, said that there are several places why they are called "new".

First, the plot is novel. The legend of the new white snake is said to have the folklore of "the legend of the white snake", and the bridge sections such as the meeting of broken bridges, the appearance of Duanyang and the flooding of Jinshan are well-known even in operas. Movies include 1926 The Legend of the White Snake, 1939 The Legend of the White Snake and 65444 The Legend of the White Snake.

New stories have been added to the script of the legend of the new White Snake, such as the love between Hu Meiniang and Xu Shilin, and the meeting between Xiaoqing and Zhang Yutang. The love between Xu Xian and the White Snake is touching and full of twists and turns, which makes the plot more novel.

Second, the expression method is new. Cecilia Yip disguised as a woman, which is really unique. When we can't find a suitable actor to play Xu Xian's delicate and pedantic bookishness, Angie Chiu once said that Cecilia Yip can dress up as Xu Xian and be more open in some warm-hearted plays.

Third, the expression technique is novel. In the play, the duo invited the famous composer Zuo Hongyuan to create "New Huangmei Tune". The processing of some special effects and the performance of pictures in the play have also changed the simple photography and editing skills in the past, and specially bought software from the United States to do computer special effects. It doesn't look so good now, but it was top-notch at that time.
