Chapter 157: Beautiful Singing

To put it bluntly, whether it is film or television, it is an art of sound, light and electricity.

Whether it is the big screen or the small screen, every audience member knows that the story and the picture they see are actually specially filmed for people to watch. Everyone knows that it is fake, but a smart filmmaker will make all of this, whether it is the picture, the story, the characters, the lines, etc., look as if they are right in front of you, so that you know it is fake, but still believe it to be true.

The sense of reality creates a sense of immersion

Whether it is sadness or joy, whether you get a reward or a release after watching these pictures, its source must come from the sense of substitution.

Therefore, the reason why”Big Ship” is a big ship and why it grossed 2 billion US dollars at the global box office before 2000 is of course the touching romantic love. But if it lacks the huge and luxurious ship and the extremely real details, it is just a love story at best.

Later, Avatar became a global hit, and various Hollywood special effects blockbusters occupied the global film market. In the final analysis, it was only because Hollywood filmmakers always understood this truth best: people went to the cinema and bought expensive movie tickets just to see things that they couldn’t see normally.

So, in the world where Li Qi lives now, on the small screens of thousands of households, when TV viewers across the country are still watching all kinds of crude martial arts films, romance films, business war films, and war films day after day, suddenly there is such a TV series, which presents the real super-powerful pictures that the audience needs to buy tickets to go to the cinema to see in a few foreign blockbusters for the first time on the small TV screen.

So, the viewing experience and the shock it brings to the current domestic TV viewers can be imagined.

Therefore, even though the main character of this one minute and fifty second shot is actually just a snake, it is still enough to make many viewers enjoy watching it.

When they were even happy and relieved that this snake, which they were not familiar with and had no sense of immersion in, finally defeated the thunder and lightning, and smiled, it is conceivable that they would not be able to take their eyes off the following story because the snake turned into a stunning beauty with unparalleled beauty.

Mountain foxes turning into demons, dragon girls seeking husbands, and love between humans and ghosts are the most popular stories among Chinese people for thousands of years.

This time and space, of course, has the masterpieces of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Records of the In Search of the Gods, the Tang Dynasty legends, the Song Dynasty notes, and the various strange novels of the Ming Dynasty, as well as various legends and stories widely circulated among the people. There are endless stories like this one about love between humans and ghosts, humans and gods, and humans and monsters.

Therefore, perhaps a foreigner who does not understand Chinese culture would feel extremely surprised when seeing the snake demon transform into a human form, but for the Chinese, this scene does not feel out of place.

Moreover, the White Snake and White Lady in human form are so beautiful!

At first, only her head was human-shaped, and from the shoulders down, she was still a snake god, but the special effects were so realistic that it was hard to tell the difference between a human and a snake. However, that stunning face alone was charming enough.

And when she finally shed her snake form and completely transformed into a human body, then when the White Snake blew a breath, her snake transformed into a plain white dress, and then she summoned the dress and put it on. Sure enough, the White Lady, who revealed her full body, perfectly matched the audience’s imagination of her.

So beautiful!

Zhang Yan had forgotten to change into comfortable clothes. Seeing this, she couldn’t help but sigh,”Gao Yuanyuan is really beautiful!”

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Liu Yijun’s assistant took the initiative to get up and ran over to open the door. It turned out that the hotel waiter had already brought the wine and food. Seeing Zhang Yan greet Liu Yijun, his assistant helped to arrange the wine and food, and then said tactfully that he had eaten.

At this time, it was Zhang Yan who took the initiative to say:”There are so many things, let’s sit down and eat together, it’s a good opportunity to watch TV together.”

Blueberry TV has been vigorously promoting this TV series recently. Gao Yuanyuan, who plays the role of White Snake in the play, is one of the focuses of their promotion. Therefore, seeing Gao Yuanyuan appearing on the screen so perfectly, many viewers who have watched her works or even been obsessed with her couldn’t help but sigh,”Gao Yuanyuan is still so beautiful! She seems even more beautiful than before!””

People who are younger or have never paid attention to her before, seeing this amazing scene, can’t help but instantly fall in love with her image in ancient costume (bdda)

Then, when the white snake transformed into a human form, the story officially began.

As she flew freely in the air, the audience saw many beautiful shots again. Those shots were specially taken by the crew with movie-grade cameras, including Mount Qingcheng, Zhangjiajie, and Mount Emei.

Then, Bai Suzhen, who had just entered the human world, heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva had descended on Mount Emei, so she followed a large number of believers on foot to the mountain to pay homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva. At this time, the second feature of this TV series suddenly appeared in the singing segment.

If it was just an interlude, no one would notice anything unusual. However, when the audience saw the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara played by Yan Danchen, they were enjoying the new experience. But they clearly saw the character White Snake singing this part by herself. Naturally, it was the part that Li Qi had sung to Zuo Qingcheng and Mr. Zuo while playing the erhu in Ontario.

The character in the play is played by Gao Yuanyuan, but she only lip-syncs. The real singer in this section is Zuo Qingcheng.

The Huangmei tune style and the lyrics that perfectly match the plot may seem a bit abrupt to many viewers at first, but it must be said that”The Legend of White Snake” uses the method of inserting singing segments into the play to tell the story, just like an opera. Although it is new and strange, especially in a TV series, it seems to be different, but in fact, it is not abrupt when put into the national conditions of China.

Chinese people love to listen to operas and have done so for hundreds of years. People in this time and space love operas even more than the time and space that Li Qi had experienced. Therefore, even the audience in that time and space, after getting over the initial shock, could readily accept these beautiful singing segments. What’s more, it is now, in this time and space?

Therefore, although the way in which Guanyin Bodhisattva and White Snake sing in unison makes the rhythm seem a little slow, for the audience sitting in front of the TV at this time, there is almost no acceptance barrier.

As Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed out, Bai Suzhen quickly recalled a story from many years ago: a snake catcher was trying to make snake elixirs to make wine, and she was caught by mistake. However, a shepherd boy saved her life by offering her a basket of peaches, and then released her. She had promised the boy that she would repay him.

So, Bai Suzhen, who wanted to cultivate to become an immortal, found her goal.

The story of the Legend of the White Snake officially begins here

At this time, most of the audience was already completely immersed in it.

Next, Xu Xian, Xu Hanwen, his sister, and his brother-in-law appear. The theft of the treasury silver begins to be foreshadowed. Xu Xian studies medicine, Xiaoqing and the five ghosts appear, and then, White Snake fights the green snake and takes her as a maid. The words of Guanyin Bodhisattva,”You must search for it in the high places of the West Lake,” become the action guide for White Snake and Bai Suzhen.

On this day, Qingming Festival, Xu Hanwen went out with his sister and brother-in-law to visit graves and go hiking, while Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing wandered around the West Lake. Every time they met someone, as long as they felt a little bit like him, Bai Suzhen would perform a ritual to see his past life, but they were disappointed again and again. But just then, they met Xu Xian, who was out hiking alone after separating from his sister and brother-in-law.

The vast majority of the audience were watching the show with great interest at this time, looking forward to the meeting between the two, but at this moment, the TV series came to an abrupt end, and the first episode ended!
