As the third work in the "White Snake" series of Light Chaser Animation, the movie "White Snake: Floating Life" follows "White Snake: Origin", telling the story of Xiaobai finally finding Xu Xian, the reincarnation of A Xuan, and the two met on the Broken Bridge and started a love affair. At the Beijing premiere, the film's main creators appeared together to share the behind-the-scenes creation story. Talking about the creative journey, director Li Jiakai revealed: "Origin is the starting point of Light Chaser's White Snake series, which is based on the story of the original story. We used a lot of creativity to tell the story before and after the original story, and now we are back to the starting point of creation, hoping to present the story of the original story of White Snake from a modern perspective." Director Chen Jianxi said, "In terms of technology, we have also made all-round upgrades compared to the previous work, and the character performances are more realistic and detailed. We hope to present a better viewing experience to the audience." Producer Zeng Fanyu said bluntly: "It took Xiaobai 500 years to meet Xu Xian, and it took us five years to walk the road from Origin to Floating Life."

The film draws nourishment from traditional Chinese culture, not only vividly presenting the thousand-year-old elegance of the Song Dynasty, but also perfectly integrating the quintessence of Chinese opera into the film's storyline. The premiere invited Tang Jianhua, a national first-class actor of the "Xiu" generation from Zhejiang Jingkun Art Center, and Luo Xuan, Fang Tingyu, and Zhang Tangxiao, outstanding young actors of the "Dai" generation, to perform on the spot, performing a segment of the Kunqu Opera "Legend of the White Snake: Touring the Lake" to carry on the Chinese romance to the end.

In addition to Kunqu Opera, the premiere also featured many traditional Chinese elements such as water sleeves, shadow puppets, and hairpins. The audience came in Hanfu and new Chinese costumes to maximize the sense of ritual of watching the movie. Some audience members also presented Zhang Zhe, the voice actor of Xiaobai, with a hairpin headdress, instantly recalling Xiaobai's wedding look in the movie. A fan Xiao Haijie presented a "White Snake Series" oil-paper umbrella that she drew by herself, and the moment it was opened moved all the creators. This night, everyone came for the White Snake and for chasing the light. You and I are at this moment together, talking about love on the screen, and meeting the unique Chinese romance in "floating life" together.

The "Legend of the White Snake" has been passed down for thousands of years, and it continues to shine in operas, film and television works. Every generation has its own White Snake legend. During the exchange after the premiere of the movie "White Snake: Floating Life", the audience and guests were very enthusiastic in interacting and expressed their excitement. Director Dapeng also brought his mother and Director Su Biao to watch the movie together. Director Dapeng said frankly that his mother was very happy to watch it, "This movie is like a flowing work of art. It is a movie that is especially suitable for family fun during the summer vacation!"

The film is based on the original story of White Snake, and innovatively incorporates comedy elements into the main love storyline, such as the daily life of Li Gongfu, the comedian, and the cute contrast of Fahai's mythical beast, the golden-haired lion. It won the laughter of all the audiences, big and small. There were even kids born after 2010 who urged for more updates, and even asked directly if the name of the next animated film had been decided, because they liked "White Snake: Floating Life" so much.
