While innovating and integrating popular elements, the Cantonese opera film "the legend of the White Snake - Love" pays attention to preserving the essence of the opera, cuts down a large number of narrative paragraphs and retains the part with strong lyricism. The recitation and lyrics are simplified and easy to understand. In terms of shooting and production, the Cantonese opera film "Legend of the White Snake · love" focuses on the aesthetic expression loved by young people to promote the vivid integration of film technology and traditional art. The film makes full use of modern film technology to innovate and present traditional operas. The special effects that account for more than 90% of the film present an audio-visual feast for the audience: white snakes flying in the wind, snow capped Kunlun Mountains, romantic scenes with flowers... The most wonderful is the six minute "water overflowing the golden mountains", which is the peak of the film's conflict. The audience is like being on the spot. In terms of clothing and modeling design and production, the film art group has painted more than 600 split mirror pictures, which are easy to draft, focusing on the characteristics of the Song Dynasty painting art of simplicity, implication, charm and white space. On the basis of plain clothes, the clothes are specially "dyed with grass and trees" by the ancient method. The patterns of the clothes are also purely hand embroidered. The headdress is made of silk cutting technology, which makes the clothes and shapes of "white snake · love" both antique and in line with the aesthetics of young people at present. Sunjinhua, the producer of the film, said: "it is our original intention to create films by letting young people go into cinemas to enjoy opera films and understand traditional culture." Raoshuguang, President of the China Film Review society, said that the traditional opera art is too high and too few. In the process of Filmization, the original "reproduction" is difficult to attract the attention of young people, let alone bear the responsibility of cultural inheritance. The artistic and technical cinematic creation of the legend of the White Snake, love, has made the classic opera "old tree" a new film flower of Lingnan opera, and also provided reference for the modernization and youth of other types of opera art. At present, the inheritance and promotion of Lingnan culture by Guangdong films is gradually forming a wave of upsurge. In addition to the Cantonese opera film "the legend of the White Snake · love", the film with strong Lingnan flavor "the lion boy", the Chaoshan dialect film "take you to my mother" and other Lingnan cultural films, they have also been "updated" frequently in recent years. Pearl River Film Group disclosed that the group and Guangdong Cantonese opera theater have started to prepare for the Cantonese opera film "Mrs. Qiao Guo" and actively strive to form a "Cantonese opera film phenomenon".
