In an age filled with xianxia (fantasy wuxia) adaptations and re-adaptations of wuxia classics, Tingxue Tower is a rare adaptation of a contemporary wuxia novel.
The rare contemporary wuxia adaptation Tingxue Tower 听雪楼 shows with its new trailer that it’s not just an attempt to revive the dying wuxia genre with a new story, but also seems to be a tribute to last decade’s highly-stylized wuxia films. The trailer has scenes reminiscent of the rain fight in Hero and the bamboo forest fight in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and definitely perks my interest.
