Abstract

Chinese film art places particular emphasis on the use of “artistic conception” to craft scenes, aiming to achieve a “poetic and picturesque” image and a “fusion of emotion and scenery” state. Kaige Chen’s film “Legend of the Demon Cat” in 2017 perfectly displayed the charm of Chinese painting and oriental aesthetic implications. It is worth noting that the expression of “artistic conception” in the scene art of this movie reflected the “poetic and picturesque” atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, making the audience feel like they were in a fairyland. Therefore, we can appreciate the beauty of the artistic conception in the scene art of this movie from the perspectives of Chinese painting, ancient poetry, and metaphysics, and enjoy the charm of Tang culture.
