Madam White Snake (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Madam White Snake (青蛇与白蛇 or 白蛇新传) is a gongfu TV drama series jointly produced by MediaCorp (Media Corporation of Singapore) and Taiwanese producer Yang Peipei's Workshop.
Starring a stellar pan-Asian cast including celebrity couple Fann Wong and Christopher Lee, as well as Taiwanese actors Zhang Yuyan and Jiao Enjun, this swordfighting serial deftly explored in comic and tragic ways the politics of revenge through a well-executed and performed script. The serial was filmed in Hengdian City, Zhejiang Province of China, which formed a uniquely beautiful backdrop for this serial.
The television serial was based on a legendary folk tale (Madame White Snake), involving a snake spirit and her male human lover, but was adapted in this version to include the presence of a black snake who is the snake spirit's mentor and the White Snake Spirit being trapped under the pagoda for 20 years, when in the original tale she was trapped under the tower for centuries.
The serial won high viewership ratings in Taiwan and China.
