The big V's spared no effort to benefit, terrible retweet volume and broadcast number, five-star pile up close to 9 points of Douban praise ...... awesome oh, word little potty friend! ?

The mainland remake has always been shamelessly circle money, shamelessly destroy the classic hardest hit, and no original and famous free IP "white lady" but with its strong attraction to feed several generations of film and television workers, but also contributed to a lot of audience edge of the white lady (from the folk legend of the White Snake), the story is not a specific author, but also the most important thing is that it is not the most important thing. The story of the White Snake (from the folklore of the White Snake, not a specific author's original writing, through opera, commentary, dance and other forms of art in the people by word of mouth, the novel genre is more famous is the Ming Dynasty Feng Menglong "White Lady Yongzhen Leifeng Tower" and the Republic of China "Dream Flower Pavilion" written by the fable satirizing the world said before and after the Department of the White Snake Legend of the two volumes):

Whether it is Li Xianglan (Yamaguchi Shuko) of the fox charming metallurgy, Lin Dai, the dignified elegance of a lady of the house, Lin Qingxia, ice and snow of the delicate grace, Wang Zuxian not eat earthly fire, or Zhao Yazhi wife and mother of the family routine and Liu Tao's sweet and sad, all can be self-explanatory; as for Yang Zi on the Huang Shengyi that a show of love of the "Tale of the White Snake," is a fox-fake python disaster, do not mention it.

This "Little Drama Bones: Legend of the White Snake" is in fact the "Legend of the New White Snake" downright Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, from the plot direction, costume styling, song soundtracks, scene effects, etc., all copied from the previous work of the pearl; but the reason why just debut on the surprise, in fact, is "Little Drama Bones" of the credit:

This is the "Little Drama Bones" of the "White Snake Legend".

All kinds of expressions of joy, anger, sadness and happiness, infectious devotion, staccato lines, and the eye-catching Huangmei tune singing, a group of young actors and actresses are all acting online, killing today's showbiz paralyzed fresh meat and cosmetic surgery conical face in a matter of seconds -- Angela Baby and Li Yi Feng, you The two are good enough to take the Hundred Flowers Award?

But in addition to this group of post-2006 acting role, the audience praised as eye-washing masterpiece of the "small drama bone: Legend of the White Snake" really become a good remedy to save the movie market?

Rather than saying that "Little Drama Bones" is a remake, it should be regarded as an imitation from the inside out, not a mistake: every frame, every picture and frame can be compared with "The Legend of the New White Snake", which is a remake of "The Legend of the New White Snake", but it is also an imitation from the inside out.

This has nothing to do with the performers, but there is no denying that the self-proclaimed "creativity" of the movie has been a major factor in the success of the movie. The first is to be a new and original work of art, and the second is to be a new and original film.

Of course, you can look at "The Little Drama Bone: The Legend of the White Snake" as a re-development of classical folk culture, and the explosion of popularity and popularity objectively does play a role in spreading the social role of traditional culture, but this function is not too far from the heart? In other words, is it "Little Drama Bones: The Legend of the White Snake" or "The Legend of the New White Lady", which was produced 24 years ago and has been flourishing ever since, that is playing the role? The team behind "The Little Drama Bone: Legend of the White Snake" didn't put any thought into the creative process, everything was ready-made and ready to use, so what's easier and less laborious than copying the idea directly and mechanically?

This parody has nothing to do with the literary category of the White Snake story, but is just a second creation based on the previous classic - perhaps not even a creation, just standing on the shoulders of the giants, the giants consumed a hand. We by no means deny that "Little Drama Bones: The Legend of the White Snake" is tasked with popularizing culture in the age of streaming media, but given that the original intention can never be equated with the execution or the effect, is this beautifully named imitation not actually an infringement of rights or plagiarism, given that the creativity is nil? And is the choice of children for the lead roles another cover for this blatant whitewash?

From the planning to the completion of the actual shooting, "Little Drama Bone: The Legend of the White Snake" took half a year to determine the roles have been through the audition, audition and other aspects of a group of cute little elves also collectively participate in camping and acting courses for training; and from the finished film, the masterful and smooth lines, rich and lively expression is really a lot of hard work - - If the "new white", "the new white" is not a good idea, but it is a very good idea. -If the "new white" gave this drama a soul, then these young, starry-eyed "little actors" gave it flesh and blood... This is a victory for the actors.

But - but their excellent acting, but still can not escape the "imitation" of the cage: to childish, uninitiated, no concept of love and hate of the concept of schoolchildren to manage the complexity of the adult feelings of infatuation, love and love to part, itself is Therefore, it is embarrassing to watch the little friends in the drama, who are no taller than the table, shouting "miangzi" and "official" with their love; and in order to show the couple's deep love and fear that they are not in the right place, no matter whether they are happy, angry, crying or laughing, their expressions are all so strong that they look like a couple's love.

To put it bluntly, although the young actors still bear the names of "Bai Suzhen" and "Xu Xian", they are actually playing the roles of "Zhao Yazhi" and "Xu Xian". The Legend of the New White Lady" was the absolute feast of the small screen's lack of content, still enjoying a very high rerun rate, and has countless die-hard fans, making it one of the most popular movies in China.

And riding on the east wind of reminiscence and nostalgia, allowing generations to recapture their youth, "The Little Drama Bone: The Legend of the White Snake" accurately puts the pulse of the public's nostalgia, and it's much easier to elicit a collective psycho***ic chorus. In addition, treating children, people have a natural love and tolerance, the little actors and actresses of the rosy and innocent budding since they can easily block the mouth of the crowd, as if for the "Little Drama Bone: The Legend of the White Snake" put on a golden bell jar, a protective film - back to rationality, if not a group of children to play, but to change to the flow of the current popular students and flower girls, but also to reap the harvest! the surge of popularity?

The Little Drama Bone: The Legend of the White Snake also retains all of this ending, the son of the White Snake to fight and study hard, trekking to the capital to catch up with the examination, and ultimately for the official to enter the civil service, the red robe. Thousands of years of mana, love is true but can not return to the reasonable and legitimate love of the white snake so easily pardoned by the system, along with the water filled with San Francisco caused by the crime of the people also wiped out - it really is not in the joke: when the official has the right to recognize the system, you can ...... get what you want.

Without mentioning the weakening of the poignant atmosphere and the spirit of resistance, the actual significance of the White Snake's exit from the tower is simply insignificant, uncompromising is the body of the guilty, and her struggle is to undermine the system, undermining the majesty of men's rights/patriarchal rights/husband rights of the treasonous, which is the same as that of the Monkey King who caused havoc in Heavenly Palace but was recruited by the Buddha, and Nezha, who died to show that he had cleared up the courageous and remodeled the body of the Lotus flower, This is the same as the Monkey King who made a mess of the Palace of Heaven and then was put down by the Buddha, or Nezha who killed himself as a sign of clarity and bravery, but then rebuilt his lotus body, and so on.

In any case, "The Little Drama Bone: The Legend of the White Snake" stands out in China's film and television industry, which seems to be booming, but rarely produces a passable masterpiece, and its positive energy and exemplary role can't be ignored; however, behind the excellent case, we have not eliminated the industry's hidden worries about how to make a movie that is both popular with the audience and acceptable to the public. How to make original and conscientious works that are not only popular with the audience but also take into account the freedom of creation is still a "long way to go", and more new and new forces need to exhaust themselves and search up and down.
