In fact, the white crane boy played by Liu Haoran is a demon cat, and the white dragon has been in love for thousands of years since he found the hairpin of the imperial concubine at the banquet. During the Anshi Rebellion, the master of Baihe Boy coaxed Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong to play dead together to quell the rebellion. Bailong, who knew the truth, objected, but was interrupted by the master, so the cat demon was lame in one leg.
Abe, who secretly loves the imperial concubine, wants her to escape to Japan, but the imperial concubine refuses. Even though she knew she was facing real death, she accepted Huang He's proposal. After the imperial concubine "feigned death", Gao Made Li of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty pretended to strangle Yang Yuhuan with a white silk behind her back to solve the mutiny, and then the imperial concubine was buried in the ancient tomb, and everyone who knew about it was silenced, including the black cat that Emperor Xuanzong loved deeply.
Bai Juyi wanted to verify the truth of the death of the imperial concubine and pushed open the coffin of the imperial concubine, which was empty. Bai Juyi thought that the imperial concubine was definitely not dead, but the empty sea entered her coffin. When the coffin was covered, Konghai saw countless blood marks drawn by fingers on the coffin cover, and inferred the fact that the imperial concubine later woke up in the coffin and was suffocated alive.
After learning the truth, Bailong died because of the death of the imperial concubine and the kindness of his master and Long Dan. When he found the imperial concubine, she was already dead and poisoned. In order to prevent the corpse of the imperial concubine from rotting, Bailong took the body as a primer to suck out the poison. When the white dragon was dying of a French poison attack, his soul was attached to the black cat next to him.
Because he has the consciousness of a black cat at the same time, he witnessed the despair and horror that Yang Yuhuan woke up in the coffin but couldn't push it away. Bailong was resentful and embarked on the road of revenge. Finally, the problem of the White Dragon was solved by Long Dan, and the imperial concubine died long ago, just like the dead White Dragon was long gone. Bailong finally woke up and was no longer persistent. He left the cat's body and became a crane boy again.
Drama evaluation
The legend of the demon cat has the charm of a master of yin and yang, but it goes far beyond the fantasy of playing tricks. Konghai is a case solver, problem solver and practitioner. "As long as the child is asleep, I am very calm." This Zen-like enlightenment makes the film convey the oriental charm not only visually, but more importantly spiritually.
This film has a grand cultural narrative, and the combination of Bai Letian and Konghai is surprisingly natural and unpretentious. Hiroshi Abe interpreted Chao Heng's deep and fiery feelings as a knife in the water, with light in the clear and quiet.
