Chapter 280: The start is a big explosion, and it is popular in half of Asia
The second day after "Seven Swords 2" was aired, just as the round-faced girl guessed, the character Ling'er was scolded badly.
However, Yin Li was not too involved.
Guo Furong's popularity is no joke. Audiences who have watched "Wulin Gaiden" rarely dislike this refreshing and lively Xiao Guo even if they don't like it.
It can be said that as long as Yin Li does not commit suicide, it is very comfortable to have such a role. Many viewers will instinctively put a filter on her.
Just like now, everyone is obsessed with the role of Ling'er. Except for a few idiots, almost no one has risen to the level of an actor.
Yin Li escaped, but Gao Xinjian's life was not so simple.
Although the style of "Seven Swords 2" basically follows the first one, but then again, the plot structure of the two parties is different. The beginning of Seven Swords is calculated, Lan Xin is seriously injured, Hong Miao is trapped, and the other five swords are the same.
Being kept in the dark, the Tianlangmen fought hard.
It can be said that at the beginning, the protagonists were completely fooled by the villains. Even if they understood that the plot was about promoting promotion before suppressing, the audience was still very unhappy.
Director Lao Gao was chased and criticized by many people, shouting that he had ruined "Seven Swords 2".
To be honest, this is a bit unreasonable.
In the first part of "Seven Swords", the situation of the Seven Heroes was not very good, or even worse.
From the beginning to the end, they were chased and beaten by the Demon Cult. Hong Miao and Lan Xin were injured many times, and were killed several times by the group.
In contrast, now in "Seven Swords 2", the protagonist group can fight back and forth with the villains. In many cases, the villains have to use external objects to suppress the protagonist group. Their combat power is higher than that of the previous ones, which can be said to be a shotgun exchange for a cannon.
Therefore, the so-called accusations from the audience are indeed a bit far-fetched.
Again, from the overall perspective of the plot, certain restrictions must be placed on the protagonist. Otherwise, the protagonist will be a gangster and push the villain all the way, and this TV series will not be able to be filmed.
Whether you are reading a book or watching a TV show, sometimes you use the perspective of the reader and audience to describe the characters in the book and TV show, and say that so and so should not do or do what they should do. This is a complete fallacy.
Whether the arrangement of plot characters is reasonable or not depends on the combination of character design and plot logic. As long as it is consistent with the previous settings, there is foreshadowing in the previous text or explanations in the later text, and it is not abrupt, there will be no "collapse".
You can't deny it completely just because the creator's settings and arrangements are not what you want. This is just looking for trouble and making excuses.
To put it bluntly, Lao Gao was scolded because he took over "Seven Swords 2" and lacked confidence. The plot was slightly unsatisfactory, so he was immediately attacked by a group of people.
If "Seven Swords 2" was directed by Zuo Le, a similar situation would be greatly improved.
Of course, even if Zuo Le directs, he may not be immune to criticism. After all, in many people's minds, he is just a director and screenwriter and does not understand "Seven Swords" at all.
official?
The official thing is nothing, the things I designed are the most authoritative...
………
However, although Lao Gao was scolded enough, the results of "Seven Swords 2" are not ambiguous at all.
The average ratings of the first broadcast of the whole drama was 1.78. Among the TV dramas produced by Shanhe, it was second only to "Bright Sword" with 2.08, surpassing "Crossing Guandong" and "Wulin Gaiden".
It started immediately with a bang.
This result is extremely impressive, but the outside world is not particularly surprised, mainly because they have already expected the popularity of the "Seven Swords" series.
Many people in the industry previously estimated that the premiere ratings of "Seven Swords 2" would be between 1.5 and 1.8.
The current results show that although the ratings of 1.78 are close to the upper limit of the estimate, it is still within the estimate range after all.
At the same time, the Douhua score of "Seven Swords 2" also reached 8.6 points, which was lower than expected. It should be affected by the Gao Xinjian controversy.
But it is still very good, and there is hope for continued growth.
The first part of "Seven Swords" scored 9.2. Shanhe and Zuo Le hope that "Seven Swords 2" can maintain a score above 8.8. The higher the better.
Now with 8.6 points at the start, we are very hopeful to achieve our goal.
In the next two days, episodes 3 to 6 of "Seven Swords 2" will be broadcast.
The conflict between the Seven Heroes and the Tianlang Sect has become increasingly intensified. Both sides have their own victories and defeats. There are many fighting scenes, and all the Seven Heroes, except the injured Lan Xin, appear and show their faces.
The two masters of the Tianlang Sect were not as powerful as the Seven Heroes, but they had countless disciples and a large number of people. In addition, the Tianlang Sect was good at various mechanisms, hidden weapons, drugs, etc., so they had the upper hand.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Seven Heroes felt something was fishy and did not want to quarrel with the Sirius Sect, so they did not kill him.
At the same time, on the Tianlang Sect side, the first master was worried about the missing second master, so he also left some room for treatment of the Seven Heroes. He treated the Seven Heroes as a priority and had captured them alive, and he also did not kill anyone.
The two sides maintained a stiff confrontation, and the Spirit Clan, headed by Ling'er, was causing trouble in various ways. The main line about the flying immortals and the Five Elements Crystal gradually became clear.
Like the first part, "Seven Swords 2" also has forty episodes, and almost 60% of the overall plot is related to the original "Seven Swordsman".
The other 40% is the original plot added by the Shanhe Screenwriting Department based on the revised setting of "Seven Swords 2".
In addition to the main plot of the Five Elements Crystal, the defeat of the Eldar conspiracy in the early stage, and the defeat of the villain Saburo in the later stage, "Seven Swords 2" has somewhat added an emotional branch.
Two lovers, Hong Miao and Lan Xin, and Da Ben and Song Shasha, finally became successful after being dependent on each other through death in the play.
The reason why these scenes were added was mainly because Zuo Le felt that there was a high chance that the "Seven Swords" series would not be filmed again in the future, so he chose to make the two couples happy.
The original animation may have been considered for a sequel, and since it is a young animation, it is not convenient to display the love element.
Moreover, cats and rabbits, bears and squirrels, even if they are anthropomorphized, there are some species gaps...
Therefore, several characters in the original version are in an ambiguous stage and have never been clarified, which is a pity.
Now Zuo Le doesn't have this worry when making a live-action version. Since this series may be terminated in the future, he simply fills the hole and gives some candy to the audience.
In addition, it should be noted that the second female lead in "Seven Swords 2", Ling'er, does like Hong Miao, but she has a crush on Hong Miao and has not told anyone due to various concerns. She is more inclined to fight for the Ling clan.
Hong Miao didn't fall in love with her, his heart was always with Lan Xin, and he only took Ling'er as a partner, similar to Song Shasha.
Although many viewers like to see the love triangle, it is too bloody and does not fit the roles of Hong Miao and Lan Xin.
Therefore, although the script sets up emotional entanglements, the third party Linger is wishful thinking, just like Dugu Xiao in the previous film.
However, Dugu Xiao had an unrequited love, and in the later period, he grew to hate his love, which was a bit hysterical.
As for Ling'er in "Seven Swords 2", she has been secretly in love throughout the show. Apart from the audience, only her mother Ling'er and the smart and keen Lan Xin are aware of it.
In the end, Ling'er died as a martyr, defeated the villain Saburo, and put an end to this evil fate.
The script of "Seven Swords 2" was written by Zuo Le himself. Although there are more emotional scenes than the original version, it is by no means sentimental.
Hong Miao upholds his integrity and loves him without hesitation; Lan Xin trusts her lover wholeheartedly and treats misunderstandings calmly; Ling'er is not a lover, even though she likes Hong Miao, she maintains that reason is greater than love, and she should be cruel to Hong Miao when it is time to do so.
Not ambiguous at all.
From a certain perspective, "Seven Swords 2" can even be regarded as a breath of fresh air in the "love triangle"...
But these plots are things for later. At this time, Ling'er has not been impressed by Hong Shaoxia's heroic appearance.
However, in the process of stumbling behind his back, Hong Miao saw his tricks. I couldn't help but admire Hong Miao for his outstanding intelligence and martial arts. He was worthy of being the first of the seven famous heroes in the world.
In these episodes, the Seven Heroes, the Sirius Clan and the Eldar hidden behind the scenes battled wits and courage, and the audience was hooked. The ratings of "Seven Swords 2" were also rising sharply.
It broke 2 in three days, and the Douhua score also rose to 8.7.
Although the ratings increase is not as strong as that of "Old Mansion", "Seven Swords 2" has a large number of episodes and a long broadcast cycle. Many people are optimistic that "Seven Swords 2" can break the 3rd mark like "The Great House".
"Seven Swords 2" also lived up to expectations. One week after its broadcast, the ratings reached 2.68.
There are still more than ten days left, and "Seven Swords 2" has broken 3, which is already a sure win.
At the same time, the one-week limit stipulated in the contract has expired, and several companies and TV stations that have obtained the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords 2" have also begun to broadcast "Seven Swords 2" locally.
Soon, good news came from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. "Seven Swords 2", like the first one three years ago, once again became popular in half of Asia...

ps: Some book friends told me that a company is actually going to make a live-action version of "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", and it successfully crashed∩_∩
But I read the news. The heroine is from a girl group, and the hero is a newcomer. It is said that there will be more emotional scenes...
Well, I'm not very optimistic about it anyway, I hope the crew will slap me in the face (no money required)
