The most beautiful thing in the world is the green snake.
Speaking of "green snake", the most memorable thing is the elegant and attractive design of green snake and white snake. Narrow-sleeved waist-mending tops, numerous and orderly layered skirts, light and transparent veils, and traditional Chinese opera women's hair ornaments distributed on their heads are the top classics of two Hong Kong-made masters-Zhang Shuping and Baoling Wu. It is said that in order to satisfy Tsui Hark's constant innovation and break the traditional modeling requirements, Zhang Shuping and Baoling Wu spent a lot of thoughts. After submitting a version of the design draft similar to Ghost Story, Tsui Hark sternly denied it. Zhang and Wu An settled down to re-examine Tsui Hark's opinions and demands, extensively read the materials, and constantly scrutinized it, and finally determined the character modeling style based on Kunqu Nudan and Taohuawu New Year pictures. Not only that, Zhang and Wu also broke the boundaries of China's clothing, and absorbed the elements of Indian traditional clothing in the use of clothing colors and materials. Finally, based on "temptation" and "elegance", they created this beautiful double snake shape, which is still ahead of the trend of the times and amazing.
In "Green Snake", the shapes of White Snake and Xiaoqing reflect the classical feminine beauty with different shapes from beginning to end. At first, the two snakes became people, slippery and sticky, and intertwined naked. A strange and enchanting style of painting came to my face, and the aroma of terror came to my face. Accompanied by the enchanting singing of Mohologa, two real snake demons tore the tradition naked and appeared in front of the audience. I believe many people will never forget it after reading it.
After that, the green and white demon, who gradually understood the personnel, began to stroll between the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. With the charming laughter of "wriggling", a group of vulgar boatmen were fascinated by the water. At this time, Xiaoqing and Bai Niangzi's hairstyle and makeup are modeled after the big head of Kunqu female Dan, with their hair tied behind their heads, their hair hanging down on their chests, their tails slightly tilted, their eyebrows thin, and their white faces with faint red lips. They are charming in ghosts and full of youth in temptation. Although it is a white snake and a green snake, the clothing is not a traditional solid color. The white snake is pink inside and white gauze outside, while the green snake is a mixture of blue, yellow and green gauze. The waist is blowing and the clothes are fluttering. Sandy has a jade hand and a tulle fan to cover her face. Although his smile is wandering, it shows a classical romantic style.
The most wonderful scene of the whole film is that Xu Xian went to the White House to return the umbrella, and the door was slowly opened. The green snake floated to Xu Xianqian with an umbrella. In the call of "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing", the white snake came out from the door, soft as a bone. The sky is clear and delicate, and at that moment, I'm afraid this charm is irresistible to any strong-willed mortal.
But with the development of the plot, the two snakes turned against each other because of their feelings, and their images began to change. At this time, after the smoke, their clothes changed into plain colors, and the white snake and the green snake were pure black, still elegant but murderous. A plain white snake is particularly chic, and several white ribbons are fluttering in the wind, which is beautiful and moving. The scene of this double snake battle is very different from other martial arts films because it adds elements of China traditional opera. Because Tsui Hark pays attention to elegance and strangeness here, killing two snakes in gauze is more like dancing than fighting. Finally, the picture of the white snake sealing its throat with a sword is as beautiful as ink painting. But the white snake shed tears, and the green snake was ignorant. It still doesn't know what the true feelings in the world are, so it can only be entangled in pain.
From the first meeting of the West Lake covered with gauze to the black and white costumes of the two sisters, each group of shapes in the green snake shows the charm and elegance of the two basilisks. Finally, when Jinshan Temple was flooded, the ancient bronze coin head of Bai Qing Ershe made a grand appearance, which integrated tradition and trendy to a new height. With elegant, soft and slightly ghostly design, it completely subverts the myth of the Millennium snake demon and plunges into the audience's mind. This design is a model of bold innovation and the essence of China's ancient costume.
Interestingly, Baoling Wu, one of the production designers, is the designer of the TV series The Legend of the New White Snake. Although 1992 "The Legend of the New White Snake" was very popular, and the Angie Chiu version of "The Legend of the White Snake" similar to Guanyin was popular in three places across the Taiwan Strait, Baoling Wu was not influenced by it at all. Instead, I tried my best to overthrow the previous style through "Green Snake" and reshape the images of two basilisks from the perspective of "monsters". The skill can be seen.
Such a beautiful design is still avant-garde even now. The 20 10 version of A Dream of Red Mansions, which is highly similar to Green Snake, has been criticized by countless audiences and has become one of the important evidences of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions. But "Green Snake" launched such a trendy design 20 years ago, and its advanced consciousness is amazing. Although the artistic design of "Green Snake" was nominated for the 13 Hong Kong Academy Award, it is a pity that it was narrowly won by "bride with white hair" (production designers: Tian Hui Mei and Xinyao Zhang) for various reasons.
In addition to modeling, the beauty of ancient artistic conception in Green Snake is also the rarest among many China films.
The beauty of the scene in Green Snake is not complicated and gorgeous, but illusory and dreamlike. Whether it's a small bridge with flowing water, a misty and rainy West Lake, a romantic old house or a solemn Buddhist temple, Green Snake is using a unified visual language to interpret what is the classical beauty of China. Different from the current costume films, Green Snake does not pay attention to restoring various ancient scenes. From the picture, the composition is very simple and clean. But at the same time, Tsui Hark pays great attention to the use of color and smoke to create a sense of ghosts and legends, making the whole story seem to come out of a classical mystery novel, dreamy and vivid. Therefore, Tsui Hark referred to a large number of illustrations and prints of ancient novels, from which he got a lot of inspiration and restored the legendary artistic conception of classical monsters. For example, at the beginning of the film, Fahai overlooks the ugly scene on the stage, and God restores an illustration of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio in color and content, thus laying the foundation for the magical style of the film.
After that, the style of film painting constantly changes with the plot, sometimes enchanting and charming, and sometimes fresh and pleasant; Sometimes secretive and gloomy, sometimes solemn and heavy. Although the artistic conception is different, the same is the boldness of the picture color. Tsui Hark never seems to be stingy with colors to render and amplify emotions. In the large-scale colors, he creates a sense of time and space shrouded in smoke and psychedelic, and at the same time expresses the feelings of people and demons to the maximum extent. On the other hand, at present, Tsui Hark's stunt level has improved in films such as Di Renjie series and flying swords of dragon gate, but it is both progress and regret to be realistic.
1992, when many Hong Kong films were still choosing traditional local scenery, Tsui Hark insisted on shooting in the mainland in order to restore the artistic conception of Jiangnan in the book, which was very laborious at that time. Although Tsui Hark's ideal location at that time was Wuyishan, in the end, in order to accommodate the actors' time and schedule, most of them chose to shoot in Hong Kong. Even so, he insisted on taking photos in Hangzhou, and deliberately avoided popular attractions such as the broken bridge of the West Lake and found the scenery he wanted in a secluded place. These painstaking exterior scenes only contributed a small part to the beauty of the green snake, and the best scene design came from the ancient house of Baifu, which was fabricated by magic. Mention here, have to mention a person-Bill Lui.
A Hundred Flowers Blossom-Hong Kong Film Art (1979-200 1) "mentioned that Tsui Hark has extremely high requirements for the artistic style of Green Snake, and he demanded that" the art of Green Snake should have uniform lines, which are all round and cannot have right angles; Second, screen design, like the illustration in Liaozhai, only highlights the main things, and everything else is simplified, such as the main scene without walls; People in the street wear white or black, only the protagonist's clothing has color, and the background only uses one color. " This minimalist requirement is extremely difficult in nature. Although Tsui Hark's idea is simple: "The White Snake's house is a conjoined house, but it is more difficult to grasp this ethereal style and let emptiness and beauty coexist. So when Bill Lui took over as a production designer, Tsui Hark had changed six production designers, and he was the seventh. Moreover, on the first day of taking over, Tsui Hark only gave Bill Lui and another production designer, Zhuang Zhiliang, one day to "change" out of the White House in the quarry in Hong Kong. Under the urgent discussion of the two men, Chiffon was used as the interior space of the White House, which was blown around by a big blower to make it feel elegant. At the same time, a lot of bamboo was taken around the scene, painted green as the background, smoked and separated from the room with gauze curtains. In the light, an ink painting jumped up. Tsui Hark was very satisfied, but Zhuang Zhiliang resigned from the crew after filming that night, and all the burdens fell on Bill Lui.
As a pioneer of alternative Hong Kong-style aesthetics, Bill Lui keeps innovating in Green Snake. He consulted a large number of ancient paintings in China and found that many indoor paintings in the Tang and Song Dynasties were actually very simplified, just beds, chairs and chairs. Bill Lui thinks: "Whether this is the case in real life or not, it is also an aesthetic for painters to abandon details, so I will go in this direction." Therefore, in the later period of building the White House, in order to realize this classical and elegant artistic conception, Bill Lui made great efforts in big places and details, from the spinning thread that has been fluttering in the room to the fan in the hand of the snake demon, from the beautiful lotus pond to the oil umbrella propped up in the rain, all of which are his masterpieces. Being able to make such a beautiful traditional design with such a simple painting style, Green Snake is the best.
1993 "Green Snake" lost at the box office that year, which was a great regret for Tsui Hark's film career. At that time, the green snake was very different in character modeling and content ending, which was criticized. However, with Tsui Hark's insistence, it unexpectedly created a beautiful, moving, real and fantastic classical monster world, which became a classic spanning the times. It is still fascinating and amazing. Today, when China's costume films are becoming increasingly boring, the beauty of Green Snake is especially cherished and lamented.
In the future, when can I see the green snake?
Life is like this,
Life is like this,
Fate leads to death,
Who knows? Who knows?
Love begins and ends,
True feelings and infatuation,
What? Where is it?
With pleasure!
