Shooting "Green Snake" is Tsui Hark's wish for many years. Tsui Hark successfully injected new elements into the traditional legend of the White Snake, showing the changes of modern women's views on love and friendship. In this way, the old story of the green snake was turned upside down by Tsui Hark with modern elements and dazzling stunts, but it was ingenious and refreshing.

? The story of the film Green Snake is based on the legend of the white snake in China. It describes the practice of White Snake and Green Snake as adults. They meet scholar Xu Xian and fall in love, but they are destroyed by the magic of monk Fahai.

This film breaks through the traditional perspective and tries to explore the mortal feelings among Green Snake, White Snake, Fahai and Xu Xian from the perspective of Green Snake. Characterization also breaks through the tradition: for example, Fahai is young and handsome, unlike the old monks who killed people without blinking an eye in previous dramas, green snakes and white snakes have their own personalities without losing evil spirits.
