According to TapTechNews on June 17, the third movie of the White Snake Series by追光动画, White Snake: Floating Life, will be released on August 10, which is the Qixi Festival, and the official announcement is that White Snake: Origin will also have a re-release.

White Snake: Origin is the first work of the White Snake Series and was released in 2019. Currently, it has a Douban rating of 7.8. The movie will be re-released in cinemas on June 29.

In the dark cave, the White Snake (voiced by Zhang Zhe) struggles to practice but can't find the right way. Seeing this, Qing Snake takes the jade hairpin from her hair bun and asks the White Snake to hold it. At that moment, the memories from five hundred years ago instantly awaken.

Five hundred years ago, the late Tang Dynasty ruler was fatuous and incompetent, and the evil national teacher held supreme power, ordering the people all over the country to catch snakes for cultivation. In order to save her kind, the White Snake ventured to assassinate but was defeated and lost her memory. When she woke up again, she found herself saved by a village that specialized in catching snakes, and the timid but kind young Xu Xuan (voiced by Yang Tianxiang) caught the White Snake's attention. Meanwhile, the national teacher sent minions to search for the White Snake everywhere, and the snake tribe also misunderstood that the White Snake had defected to humans and sent killers one after another.

According to TapTechNews checking Maoyan, the box office of White Snake: Origin in 2019 was 468 million yuan, and the box office of the second part, White Snake 2: Green Snake Tribulation, was 580 million yuan. The reputation of White Snake: Origin is slightly better than that of White Snake 2: Green Snake Tribulation, with Douban ratings of 7.8 and 6.8 respectively.
