Since 1993 was introduced to the mainland, the TV series The Legend of the New White Snake has been replayed on TV every winter and summer vacation for 30 years, and the ratings are still high. Now, if you watch this drama again, you will find some minor flaws, but this will not affect the audience's love for this drama.
Recently, it was discovered that in the legend of the new White Snake, there were several places where special effects should have been added, but they were not.
The first time I saw the legend of the new White Snake, each episode ended with the lens of the next episode, which was the preview of the next episode. At the end of episode 19, the scene of White Snake and Xiaoqing flooding Jinshan in episode 20 was used. But at the end of the film, there is a scene where Mrs. White Snake casts a spell and begins to "fall into the sea", but there is no symbolic curve effect added here. Obviously, this should be the reason why I forgot to add it in post-production. After all, there are special effects in the feature film of the 20th episode.
The first half of The Legend of the New White Snake mainly tells the love story of the White Snake and Xu Xian, while the second half mainly tells the story of Xu Shilin. Therefore, the title content of the White Snake before and after being captured by Fahai in Leifeng Pagoda has also changed, and the title in the second half focuses more on Xu Shilin's lens.
After the White Snake and Xiaoqing flooded Jinshan, Fahai waved his hand hard, and the cassock floated in the air, and many bricks fell down to keep the water out. Many viewers still remember this set of pictures. But in the first half of episode 1-27, this shot also forgot to add special effects, and there was no "flood" special effect, so the real road ahead was clearly visible.
These two mistakes appeared at the beginning and end of the film, which many viewers didn't notice. What is certain is that they just forgot to add special effects. In later feature films, another shot had similar problems, but whether this one forgot to add special effects is controversial.
In the 43rd episode, Xu Shilin was hunted by King Ba Jin in the mountains, and Mrs. White Snake, who was at the bottom of Leifeng Tower, figured out that her son was in trouble, risked practicing for thousands of years, and then decided to save her son from the tower. But there was gold in the Leifeng Tower. He wouldn't let the White Snake leave the Leifeng Tower without authorization, so they had a fight. In the process of fighting, the White Snake has a magical action as before, and there are no special effects here.
Some viewers think it is also because the special effects teacher forgot to add special effects, but some viewers have different views. They think it's just right not to add special effects here, because the White Snake is trapped in the Leifeng Tower, which is an important place of Buddhism, and the spell of the White Snake has failed at the moment, so it's understandable.
Apart from this explanation, the fighting scenes here are very fragmented. In the past, when the White Snake cast spells, there would be enough time for the special effects to be displayed. Moreover, when two people used to cast spells, there were many actual scene changes, such as identity changes, such as casting spells and raining, and this was just a battle. According to Angie Chiu and Chen Meiqi in the variety show, their magic gestures were not taught by others, but set by themselves. Therefore, the magic action of the White Snake may be added by the actor himself, and it has not changed much before and after. The special effects artist didn't think it was necessary to add it. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is also the reason for forgetting to add special effects.
Although after many years, the audience found some minor problems, but this will not affect the audience's love for the play.
