After evaluating all the factors that affect the quality of the drama, including the actors' acting skills, the director's level, etc., Xiang Xingyuan's review returned to the TV series itself.

[Since many people have wondered why this drama broadcast on Tomato TV is so popular, I believe many drama critics have already given corresponding answers, so I will only compare and analyze from one perspective here, that is, "character creation."]

Just as Xiang Xingyuan said, many drama critics would summarize the characteristics of other fantasy dramas when evaluating Tangxing Entertainment's drama, and then compare them two by two, pointing out the differences one, two, three, four, and five points.

However, in his review, Xiang Xingyuan explained from the perspective of "characters" what makes this drama different from all other dramas, including ancient costume dramas and modern dramas.

[When it comes to character creation, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the protagonist. The protagonist of "Chinese Paladin 1" is very different. Why do you say that? Think about it, what are the protagonists of other dramas you watch now?]

There is no need for Xiang Xingyuan to remind them, everyone can tell the answer.

Whether it is a modern drama or a costume drama, the protagonist must have a very high social status.

Even if the protagonist may be a beggar or a poor person at the beginning, he must have a hidden identity, and the status of this identity will not be lower than that of the supporting role.

In addition, the protagonist can suffer a little setback, but must subsequently slap the person who caused the setback, which means that the protagonist cannot have a real low point.

However, the protagonist of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" is obviously different.

Against the backdrop of a fantasy story of cultivating immortals, the male protagonist appears as just an ordinary waiter and a gangster, without any power, fame, or deep background.

He is not powerful at all, and can only use his own wisdom, strength or the adventures brought by luck to do what he wants.

It was not easy during this period. We met and then separated, gained and then lost. The process was tortuous and painful.

But such characters are flesh and blood and down to earth.

He has a clear growth path and character arc.

This is one of the reasons why many people like him.

Of course, the protagonist in the play has many shortcomings, which Xiang Xingyuan listed one by one.

As for Lu Wantang personally, she actually didn’t have a good impression of the protagonist’s character, because she knew what the protagonist of the game version in the original world was like.

The comparison between the two makes the characters in the drama even worse.

However, different people have different opinions. Xiang Xingyuan's analysis is very thorough, without any exaggeration or belittlement.

that's enough.

After talking about the protagonist, Xiang Xingyuan talked about the supporting roles.

He used the character 'Liu Jinyuan' as an example.

[As mentioned before, current dramas generally do not make the supporting characters stronger than the main characters, especially in terms of social status, so Liu Jinyuan has to be mentioned here.

He is the son of a minister, the top scholar of the dynasty, and Lin Yueru's cousin. Whether in the court or in the underworld, his social status is higher than that of the male protagonist. In the play, he is handsome, has a prominent family background, is well-educated, has a high status, and is well-educated. He also has a good character and personality.

Such a person can be the protagonist in any drama, but in this drama, he is just a supporting role who cannot get the love he wants.]

There is no need for Xiang Xingyuan to remind them, as many people know that if this supporting character were in other dramas, he would either be a double-faced villain or would turn evil into a villain in the later stages.

But it’s different in “Legend of Sword and Fairy”.

Liu Jinyuan has a unique personal charm without stealing the limelight from the protagonist.

When he first met Li Xiaoyao, he was actually envious of him because Li Xiaoyao had something that he didn't have.

Later, when he found out that the person he liked actually liked the other person and lost in the competition, he inevitably became jealous. However, he did not want to cut the grass and root out like those vicious supporting characters. Instead, he realized that he was blinded by jealousy, and then sat there all night to reflect on himself.

Afterwards, he brought generous gifts and went to Li Xiaoyao to become his disciple.

Such a gentleman who is consistent in appearance and heart, did not turn to evil even after he endured humiliation at Baiyue's hands and even after learning the news of Yueru's death.

Upon learning that Yueru was dead, Liu Jinyuan sat on the steps at night, rubbing the ground with his hands until blood gushed out like a fountain. The scene moved countless people.

[Every character in this drama is imperfect, and the emotional entanglements are said by many to be melodramatic, but they are flesh and blood, more like real people, and they have the warmest personality background, which is the most important reason why I appreciate these characters.]

Xiang Xingyuan summarized this part, and then focused on analyzing the relationships between the characters and the lines in the play.

Finally, the meaning of "Xianxia" was mentioned again.

The origin of the term "Xianxia" on Blue Star is not much different from what Lu Wantang knew.

In Xiang Xingyuan's opinion, "immortal" and "knight" are two different concepts. Other fairy-tale dramas only have half of the "immortal", or the kind of gods and demons with empty powers. The main plot line is nothing but love. The drama broadcasted by Tomato Channel is not only the pinnacle of fairy-tale dramas, but also reshapes the concept of "immortal-knight".

He was not stingy in expressing his appreciation for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

Regardless of whether it was "Peak" or "Reinvention", his drama reviews caused a sensation.

Some people think that Xiang Xingyuan is exaggerating and may have received money from Tomato TV or Tangxing Entertainment, which is why he is bragging so much.

[Xiang Xingyuan has never praised a movie this exaggeratedly before. He has been praising it from beginning to end... He must have been paid!]

[There is no such thing as a perfect film or TV work. I didn’t expect Xiang Xingyuan to be confused. I trusted him so much before!]

[Seeing you praise me so much, I won’t watch it]

[I never thought that Xiang Xingyuan would get paid to do things this day]

[I wonder how much he received...]

……

In fact, every time Xiang Xingyuan writes a film review, he will add a sentence "These are all personal opinions, for reference only", in order to let everyone know that no matter how objective he is, his evaluation is based on personal preferences.

Those who said he took money never paid any attention to this statement.

However, some people think his analysis makes sense.

[If he really took the money, how could so many people know about it? Do some people think Xiang Xingyuan is a fool?]

[The review is quite fair. People who have actually watched the show should know that at least the comments in the review are impartial.]

[Those who say Xiang Xingyuan took the money but didn’t watch the show, do they need your views? Do you think you’re a big shot?]

[In the past, movies with billions of dollars of investment didn’t get Xiang Xingyuan to praise it like this. How much money could Fanqie TV and Tangxing Entertainment give him? So this review was definitely not written for money.]

……

Not to mention that his comments are all well-founded and not groundless.

Given Xiang Xingyuan's current status and reputation alone, it would be impossible for him to risk ruining his reputation by speaking for a TV series whose investment has less than 100 million yuan.

Therefore, a large number of people still support Xiang Xingyuan.

The number of views and rebroadcast ratings of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" have surged again.

The claim that the TV station and the crew "disrespected the audience" has become nonsense and no one cares at all.
