3D Strikes Again For Chinese Fantasy Action Adventure, THE FOX LOVER
Considering that we are in the age of 3D, I am a little surprised that Niu Chaoyang‘s latest romantic fantasy action adventure, The Fox Lover, went under my radar; lovely what some browsing can accomplish. The film looks very appealing and colorful, and appears to have managed to garner some extra attention after its first trailer aired online, after some reported scepticism among netizens at first glance of the conceptual artwork.
Adapted from a short story in Pu Songling’s supernatural classic Liaozhai Zhiyi The Fox Lover is about white fox spirit Xiaochui (Gillian Chung), who is irrevocably in love with the naive mortal Wang Yuanfeng (Chilam Cheung). In the universe resides the largest sea demon that strikes terror amongst the people. Inside Wang’s soul, there is a hidden power able to destroy the fiercest demons. When Xiaochui’s loyalties are tested in the clash between humans and demons, she is willing to sacrifice her life for love.
