Director Statement
The breath-taking Chinese classic fantasy The White Snake is a wonderful story and I have always wanted to expand it into an epic saga on the big screen. Creativity, imagination and technical support are the essential elements for filming the story. With the recent highly developed CGI technology, I believe that it is time to present the texture and reality of this Chinese fantasy world to the audience. This film is a dynamic blend of romantic fairy tale, sumptuous visuals and kinetic action. While the dazzling action sequences show the skills and essence of traditional Chinese martial arts, the real heart of the film lies in its depiction of unrequited love, heroic righteousness and self-sacrifice. These values are the important expressions of Chinese cultural and spiritual strength.
