White Snake's sequel tops China's presale box office charts

《白蛇2：青蛇劫起》高居预售票房榜首

03:51①As one of the most anticipated animated movies in summer, the sequel of 2019 sleeper hit White Snake has topped the presale box office charts on its opening day, or July 23, according to the live tracker Beacon.

2019年黑马影片《白蛇：缘起》的续集（《白蛇传2：青蛇劫起》）备受期待，将于暑期档上映。根据灯塔（Beacon）实时数据显示，该影片首映日（7月23日）预售票房位列榜首。

06:48②Titled as White Snake 2: The Tribulation of Green Snake , the new tale takes place around 1,500 years after the story of the first film, which is loosely inspired from China's household folk legend about two beautiful "women" who are actually two snake spirits.

《白蛇2:青蛇劫起》发生在《白蛇：缘起》1500年之后，创作灵感源于中国家喻户晓的，关于两位实为蛇精的美丽女子的民间传说。

09:39③Unfolding with an epic action-studded scenario featuring the two characters summoning a flood in order to face off a powerful Buddhist monk, the new film follows one of the two snakes -- the green-skinned one -- sucked into a fantastic world on the edge of being beaten to death.

《白蛇2》的故事从史诗般的动作场景展开：两只蛇精召唤一场洪水对抗法力强大的佛僧法海。随后，影片聚焦到青蛇一人身上。在被打死前，青蛇被吸入修罗幻境。

12:44④In this weird yet brutal world, which is frequently hit by disasters and monsters, an ox demon leads a gang of demon villains to hunt and eliminate the other residents, all human beings or spirits sucked into this world by accident. For the green snake, her top goal is to survive and escape the hell-like city and find her lost elder sister, the white snake.

在这个灾难不断、妖兽频现的怪异又残酷的幻境里，牛魔王带领其麾下的恶魔猎杀幻境内其他居民，任何被吸入幻境的生灵都难逃魔掌。对青蛇而言，首要目标就是生存下来并逃离这个地狱般的幻境，同时找到失散的姐姐白蛇。

15:42⑤Co-helming the first White Snake film with Zhao Ji , director Amp Wong  helms the sequel alone. He said the new film's protagonist, the green snake, is depicted as a brave and independent woman, with her personality expected to strike a chord with modern female viewers.

前作《白蛇：缘起》由黄家康与赵霁共同执导，而续集则由黄家康独自执导。他表示，新作的主角青蛇被刻画成为一位勇敢独立的女性，她的性格有望引起现代女性观众的共鸣。
