This 30-year-old "Legend of the New White Lady" is still a classic, and it uses its strength to tell us that really good works rely on the plot, not gorgeous special effects and exquisite props!
However, this work, which was born in the last century, cannot be compared with modern times in terms of crew funds, materials and technology, so there are many goofs.
The following goofs shots, I don't know if the audience noticed it when they were **?
In this drama, the biggest goofs are Xu Xian. As soon as Xu Xian appeared, it is estimated that 99% of people can see that the actor is a woman, right?
The story of "The Legend of the White Lady" revolves around the love between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, but from beginning to end of the 50-episode plot, Xu Xian's female face always makes people feel very dramatic.
Why do you have to let a woman play Xu Xian?In fact, the main reason is that Zhao Yazhi is so beautiful!
In the program "Art Life", Zhao Yazhi mentioned Ye Tong, the actor of Xu Xian. When the audience curiously asked why Xu Xian was a woman, Zhao Yazhi gave the answer slightly embarrassed.
It turned out that although Zhao Yazhi was 39 years old when filming "The Legend of the New White Lady", and had been married twice and had three sons, she was still as beautiful as a flower, which was heartwarming.
This makes the actor who cooperates with Zhao Yazhi easy to be tempted by her, causing a small scandal, if the actor really falls in love with Zhao Yazhi and pursues her, the matter will be big.
Therefore, Zhao Yazhi is reluctant to cooperate with male actors in this romantic drama. The appearance of Ye Tong just solved this problem.
The director of the crew was also worried about Xu Xian's actors, and he couldn't find a cultural scholar image actor who was more than 1.7 meters tall, had a feminine face and was heroic.
Just when he was at a loss, the director noticed Ye Tong, who was playing ** in "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", and his eyes suddenly lit up:
Isn't that the person we're looking for!She's literally tailor-made for the role!”
These two reasons are superimposed, creating a situation where a woman plays Xu Xian. However, this did not affect the overall quality of the show, and Xu Xian still became a generation of classics.
Compared with the woman playing Xu Xian, the following goofs are not so "explosive", but they are also quite interesting.
The story of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen takes place in the Southern Song Dynasty, but glass windows appear many times in the play
In the following shot, Bai Suzhen is smiling, like a tsundere little princess. However, in the crowd behind her, a modern building appeared.
This small villa also has Western-style window grilles and pillars, and the living conditions in ancient times are too good!
Viewers watch the plot with only the exciting climax and often ignore the details. In the scene where Bai Suzhen kneels and worships Guanyin, it is obvious that there is a red candle shelf in front of her, and there is an incense altar behind her that separates her from passers-by.
But in the next shot, the candle shelf has become a scroll table, the incense altar is gone, and the number of people has suddenly decreased a lot.
Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian reunited on the bridge, and the two were excited and anxious to give each other an affectionate hug.
In order to show the process of their hugging from far and near, the photographer deliberately ran into the river to shoot from the side, but accidentally captured the telephone pole into the frame.
It turns out that the ancient people have mastered the technology of electricity, no wonder the lightning and thunder on the side of the Leifeng Tower. Bai Suzhen and Fahai have both mastered the technology of power control.
In order to save labor costs, the crew let one person play multiple roles. For example, Xu Xian and his son Xu Shilin are both played by Ye Tong, while Bai Suzhen and Hu Meiniang are both played by Zhao Yazhi.
In addition to these two protagonists, the appearance rate of a certain supporting actor is also extremely high. Passerby A behind Bai Suzhen, Passerby B behind Xiaoqing, and the Golden Armor God next to Bai Suzhen.
Look closely, and you'll see that these characters are all played by the same run-out actor.
In mythological dramas with a Chinese cultural background, black and white impermanence is indispensable. The long tongue of an impermanent ghost is one of its important characteristics. In order to show off his long tongue, the actor who plays the impermanence ghost actually bites his tongue prop with his teeth. While he clenched the prop, he opened his mouth and pretended to speak, and the picture was quite joyful.
Xu Xian was eating at the restaurant, and he asked the store for a bowl of braised beef noodles, intending to feast on it. However, when the noodles were served, Xu Xian sandwiched a pair of chopsticks, and it turned out to be instant noodles!The store really made a bowl of modern braised beef instant noodles, and there was no seasoning.
Bai Suzhen was put into the bowl by Fahai and suppressed in Leifeng Tower. Interestingly, the Buddha statue placed behind her turned out to be standing.
Bai Suzhen has been imprisoned for 20 years, and the Buddha statues are really tired of standing after guarding her for so long, and it makes sense to change to a sitting position.
In this short story, a little demon asks Bai Suzhen for trouble, and her sister Xiaoqing comes forward and fights with the little demon. But Xiaoqing's appearance is a little strange, it turns out that the actor who plays Xiaoqing doesn't know martial arts, and the martial arts stand-in directly wears Xiaoqing's clothes on the stage.
Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen and Fahai's fighting methods are not uncommon. In this scene, Xiaoqing is injured by Fahai, and Bai Suzhen personally plays to protect Xiaoqing. While filming the on-site martial arts instructor, the camera shows the fierce battle between Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing and Fahai.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, two goblins, were attacked by Fahai casting a spell. The camera flips wildly to create an atmosphere of fighting. However, when the camera flipped, the heads of passers-by appeared.
There is also a telephone pole exposed behind Fahai, it turns out that Fahai is a strong spell, and there is a telephone pole hidden behind it!
Passers-by also seem to like to watch the excitement, and the crew is filming on the spot. In the arrest scene of the temple, there was a boy in short sleeves sitting at the door watching the play.
Xu Xian's son won the champion and went home to report the good news. At this time, there were three uninvited guests on the roof, they couldn't have come to "stab the driver", right?
A little monk is ringing the bell, a seemingly ordinary scene. However, some netizens found that there was a problem with the words engraved on the clock, and it actually read "A.D. 1991".
Fahai wanted to put Bai Suzhen to death, begged the Buddha to give him strength, and obtained the spell bowl.
However, the props on the Buddha's head are too fake!Neither the director nor the editor noticed these details.
In the first story, the child picks up the injured white snake and gives it to the man. It stands to reason that a man should hold an apple in one hand and a white snake in the other, and then throw it out in fright.
But he took the apple first, and then threw the white snake in a fright. The two props, the white snake and the apple, can be reversed, and neither the actors nor the cinematographer reacted.
In addition, there are many unexpected goofs in "The Legend of the New White Lady". Still, these small details don't affect the show's status. It is still an excellent film and television drama.
The story of Xu Xian and the White Lady is the epitome of traditional Chinese culture. The success of this drama is also the success of Chinese culture!
