About A Fairy Tale
Ning Caichen, a believer in harmony between humans and demons, challenges popular opinion by advocating for peaceful coexistence. When rumors of dark forces stirring emerge and an ancient evil spirit threatens to awaken, Cai Chen embarks on a perilous journey to prevent global destruction. Accompanied by Nie Xiaoqian, a fox demon he previously rescued, they venture into dangerous territories bordering human and spirit realms. As they confront overwhelming odds, Caichen and Xiaoqian must find a way to stop the impending wave of darkness that could annihilate humanity.
Directed by Wang Cong, A Fairy Tale leans on a strong ensemble — Peng Yusi, Nan Sheng, Lu Yan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2020.
