"White Snake: Origin" Oriental hand-painted poster exposed, mysterious pearl hairpin appears again

"White Snake: Origin" is a magical animated film produced by Light Chaser Animation and Warner Bros., which will be released on December 21. Today, the film crew released an oriental hand-painted poster, which presents the love story of the White Snake in her past and present lives in a unique way.

This hand-painted poster was created by the famous painter Zhang Yu. The whole poster uses traditional heavy color techniques, with flaming red and mysterious blue as the base colors, showing an oriental charm, which is also in line with the temperament of the Chinese folk mythology in the movie. The story of the movie "White Snake: Origin" is derived from the classic IP "Legend of the White Snake". The film tells the unforgettable love story between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's predecessor A Xuan five hundred years ago from an unprecedented perspective.

The main character in the poster, White Snake, has a human upper body and gradually turns into a snake lower body. The long snake tail occupies the entire poster in the form of a circle from far to near. And A Xuan is in the center of the circle, looking up at the White Snake. In traditional Chinese culture, "circle" symbolizes repetition, meaning reincarnation. The whole poster seems to imply that in the life of the White Snake, after thousands of twists and turns, death and forgetfulness, it always revolves around one person, and this person is Xu Xian and A Xuan.

Many careful viewers discovered that the White Snake was holding a transparent green pearl hairpin in her hand, and this pearl hairpin had appeared many times in the previously released trailers and stills of the movie. Some viewers speculated that this mysterious pearl hairpin would be a key item in the film.

At the release conference of "White Snake: Origin", directors Huang Jiakang and Zhao Ji told the audience about the inspiration for the film. "The love story of "Legend of the White Snake" has been passed down for thousands of years and everyone is familiar with it. In the early stage of the story creation, we were wondering why such a perfect Bai Suzhen would devote everything she had to love someone. So we were very curious about what kind of past life could allow them to have such a love."

The two directors even compared the film to the story of White Snake's first love, which was the story of White Snake when she was very young. What kind of story is there between White Snake and Xu Xian's predecessor, Xuan? We will have to wait until the film is released to find out in the cinema.
