Why did Xu Xian find an actress in The Legend of the New White Snake? What is the real reason?

If we really want to talk about childhood memories of the 80s and 90s, then The Legend of the New White Snake must be one of the key dramas. When I was a child, we all liked to watch dramas with the theme of fantasy and truth-fixing, and this drama is undoubtedly as attractive as the old version of The Journey to the West. At that time, after the TV series was broadcast, a large number of tapes, pictures, mobile games and children's songs of the legend of the new White Snake suddenly emerged. Children born after 1980s and 1990s play the most roles in childhood. This drama, which tells the emotional story of White Snake and Xu Xian, shows its popularity and influence.

More than 25 years have passed since the first broadcast of 1992. Angie Chiu's dignified, generous, gentle, noble and elegant brand image, and Cecilia Yip's cross-dressing performance, Xu Xian, have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In fact, Angie Chiu was 38 years old at that time, and she was still the most beautiful white lady in everyone's mind. Other walk-ons are great, from Fahai to Xu Xian's sister and brother-in-law. Together, they created the development classics belonging to that era. Before understanding their current situation, let's explain why women were chosen to perform Xu Xian in a cross-dressing way.

In fact, there are so many main reasons: first, it is mainly because the positioning of this drama is the style of opera, and girls often cross talk and perform little child stars in opera. In the creative team, film director Tsu-Hui Hsia and director Gong Min both have the background of Huangmei TV movies, so it is normal to choose a female artist to play Xu Xian. Secondly, because Angie Chiu's husband expected his wife to avoid performing intimate plays with other men, he suggested to the creative team that girls should participate. Third, it is also an official explanation that the cross-dressing performance is to highlight Xu Xian's cowardice and incompetence, and needs the protection of young ladies everywhere. In the play, what they see seems to be true. So I chose Cecilia Yip to play Xu Xian. Naturally, Brigitte Lin was the first choice in those years, but I missed this role because I thought the salary of actors was too low.

The white snake played by Angie Chiu should be the most classic version, and her calm and elegant atmosphere is reflected in practice. Naturally, Angie Chiu also portrayed Hu Meiniang, the Jade Rabbit the child met as an adult, which was equally impressive. Different from the calmness of the green snake, she better shows the cheerfulness of the moon rabbit. Angie Chiu's classic performances include not only The Legend of the New White Snake, but also Chu Liuxiang, Shanghai Beach, Clouds in Beijing and Joking. Among them, Feng Chengcheng is all the rage. Her acting skills, her youthful appearance and her timeless legend have seriously influenced the aesthetic concepts of generations. Now Angie Chiu is 63 years old, but she is still elegant. He retired from the entertainment circle in the mid-1990s and lived a warm family life. Huang Jinshen, her husband, has loved her for more than 30 years, and now Angie Chiu has come out again, and her career and love are very successful.

Xiaoqing played by Chen Meiqi is the most traditional and difficult version number to surpass. Chen Meiqi is not only a beauty, but also a strange girl with a high diploma who is proficient in five languages. She is not only good at filming, but also writes songs behind her back and writes her own lyrics. Despite his great knowledge, Chen Meiqi's love journey is very difficult. At the age of 265,438+0, Chen Meiqi married Ma Qingwei, a rich man. Ma Qingwei family owns rich industrial chains such as Sheng Da Bank and Sheng Da Real Estate. Shortly after their marriage, Ma Qingwei fell in love with Rosamund Kwan. This extramarital affair caused Chen Meiqi to miscarry, and she couldn't have any more children. It was really hard. Later, she married a China enterprise with American citizenship. In order to realize Chen Meiqi's dream of being a mother, in 2008, Hehe adopted a sick girl as their adopted daughter. People with good intentions will be blessed in the end.

Cecilia Yip's Xu Xian is a character criticized by many people. Although the cross-dressing performance of women disguised as men made many people feel strange when they were young, they still found it acceptable after being integrated into the story. Later, The Legend of the White Snake almost used male artists, because Cecilia Yip's cross-dressing performance was really a great promotion at that time. At that time, Cecilia Yip had won several leading ladies. She is good at testing, which is why she has such a classic work. Like Chen Meiqi, Cecilia Yip has great goodwill and has been enthusiastic about public welfare for many years. In 2005, Cecilia Yip sponsored two children in Sri Lanka and Nepal according to Vision. The former is a boy, Po, and the latter is her eldest daughter, Xue Na, who needs support when interviewing Nepalese in July.

Besides, the biggest villain in the play, Fahai, is bent on separating White Snake from Xu Xian. He persistently depicts the difficulties of monks, which people sometimes hate. In recent years, the development momentum of French actor Chandeman in the entertainment circle is not good. At the age of 60, he had to drive a taxi to make money to pay off his debts because he owed a certain amount of money. I have also had three gastrointestinal operations in recent years. Usually it is light and easy to digest, and the weight is reduced from 85 kg to 63 kg, and it is only 50 kg when it is tender. It's really embarrassing.

Then I want to mention a young actor who has passed away. This man is Xu Shilin's younger brother Qi Shi Baoshan Neven. Shi Naiwen died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 46. No matter how many years have passed, this drama will still be a classic that everyone watches repeatedly. This is the uniqueness of a high-scoring TV series.
