Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 216 The Wind Howls and Online Discussions

What a disappointment!

He doesn't seem like a good person at all.

Li Sui didn't know the complete script either; she only knew that the character played by Zhi Niang was somewhat complicated, like a villain.

But Gao Tingzhong probably doesn't have any brainless female supporting characters.
The opening theme song ends, and the TV series officially begins.

The majority of the scenes are featuring the male and female leads, both of whom are top-tier celebrities with impeccable acting skills.

The acting was good.

And the storyline is actually pretty good.

The story revolves around a young man who, in his quest to find clues about his biological parents, enters the treacherous world of martial arts and encounters a young girl who has escaped from the most powerful sect in the martial arts world.

However, their meeting was not a typical cliché story of the male protagonist rescuing a damsel in distress.

Li Sui didn't expect that, given the role of the Weaver Girl, she would appear so quickly.

The character Shan Zhao, played by Zhi Niang, is a girl who works as a maidservant to a young lady in a small town.

The young lady's family had treated her very well, but unexpectedly, they got into trouble and offended a mysterious force, which then came after them.

After her entire family was wiped out, Shan Zhao displayed her resourcefulness, managing to escape by blending into a pile of corpses.

It was discovered anyway, but this part was given a close-up.

The assassin who came to kill Shan Zhao paused noticeably when he saw Shan Zhao's face, setting the stage for the subsequent plot.

At the critical moment—the male protagonist appeared.

Li Sui originally thought that the male lead's appearance at this time was to give Shan Zhao a dramatic and melodramatic love story, but the male lead was knocked unconscious after only a few punches.

Li Sui: “…”

Also normal.

The male protagonist has only ever learned half-baked kung fu since childhood, but he is always said to be talented and quick to learn anything, but he just doesn't have a good teacher.

Gao Tingzhong really understands today's audience.

And just when things were at their most critical, the female lead made her appearance!
As the daughter of the most powerful sect, her martial arts skills, which she developed from a young age, are beyond question; she can easily defeat anyone.

The actresses' action scenes were also very good, powerful and beautiful.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat the female lead, the mysterious assassin decisively ordered a retreat.

As a result, they also kidnapped Shan Zhao, who had also been knocked unconscious.

The female lead originally wanted to give chase, but she got blinded by several smoke weapons thrown at her.

After regaining her sight, the mysterious man had already disappeared, so the female protagonist could only turn her attention to the male protagonist, who was still alive.

The female protagonist discovers that the mysterious assassins chasing this family may be related to a certain organization in the martial arts world that everyone wants to kill. She has no choice but to take the male protagonist, who knows a little about the situation, away. She also discovers that the male protagonist has great talent for martial arts and begins to teach him martial arts.

Of course, the two of them also remembered to save Shan Zhao, which meant they followed the clues all the way.

The storyline of the first two episodes ends here.

I haven't watched a TV series in a long time, especially a martial arts drama.

After watching it, Li Sui thought it was alright.

Judging from her acting, she didn't break character at all.

The Weaver Girl's performance in the first episode was good, but only good. Her character development was insufficient, her storyline had not yet been fully revealed, and her charm could not be fully explored.

She didn't quite capture the dazzling brilliance she displayed later when she became a femme fatale. She did manage to convey a degree of shock and fear while being hunted.

As long as it doesn't feel out of place, it's fine!
Moreover, the first two episodes are probably the beginning of the story. Judging from the lighting and styling, Li Sui always felt that Gao Tingzhong intentionally suppressed the performance of the Weaver Girl.

After all, her makeup and styling were stunning at the time. It would be more shocking to see her in the later episodes if she wasn't given more screen time in the early episodes.
After patiently watching the whole thing, Guan Zhong and the others commented on the fight scenes: "This is too fake. I could break someone's leg just by lifting it without using internal energy. Who would expose their lower body like that?"

Li Sui rolled her eyes: "This isn't a real fight. Of course, fight scenes need to be made as aesthetically pleasing as possible. This isn't a life-or-death duel in a ring. These moves have their merits, and most people don't have your reaction speed."

Tian Shu: "This is quite interesting. How come the character played by the Right Protector is so pathetic?"

"Is she the type to wait to be rescued? She could take down all the assassins herself."

"That's not right either. She would never be a maid. How could she possibly be someone's maid?"

Several people were discussing it animatedly.

None of them addressed the key points.

Li Sui listened with a headache: "The character she played was just a maid in the early stages. This is just a story, it's fake, you can't take it seriously."

Yuheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "When will the next episode air?"

Li Sui paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, two episodes will be broadcast every night during the holiday. You guys chat first, I'll see the online reaction."

Yu Liangliang has already sent a message in the group.

[Yu Liangliang]: How was our Weaver Girl's performance?

【AKA Don't Call Me Master】: Not bad, not bad, you acted very well!
[Mu Lihua]: It's alright. How's it going later on? This character seems complicated.

【AKA Don't Call Me Master】: @Mu Lihua Can you slack off at work and watch TV?

[Mu Lihua]: So what? She's one of you, this is considered work.

[Yu Liangliang]: No spoilers! I've signed a contract!
[Mu Lihua]: Gao Tingzhong's move was somewhat reliable, after all, it was within his comfort zone.

Online discussions about "The Wind Howls" have also begun to explode.

The show was already trending on social media when it first aired, but now that it's officially on air, the actors' fans have started flooding social media with posts.

What's most unexpected is how quickly the character of the Weaver Girl appears; she shows her face in the very first episode.

It's important to know that characters who appear in the first episode are usually key figures who establish the story.

They are either cannon fodder who die young, like the male protagonist's parents.

But the other type is the important supporting character in the story, and the Weaver Girl obviously belongs to this category.

On the contrary, the character Li Yuhao, which many fans are looking forward to, has not yet appeared.

Many of Li Yuhao's fans commented with a hint of sarcasm: "People who get in through connections are really something else."

Some passersby were also discussing it.

[Oh my god, I never expected the male lead to get completely crushed by the assassin right from the start. I'm so tired of those male leads who are invincible from the very beginning. This male lead is so realistic. After all, how could a male lead who grew up in the streets possibly deal with a well-trained assassin? The female lead is really amazing.]

Is Gao Tingzhong trying to appeal to younger audiences this time? This male lead is quite different from his previous roles; he's a clueless, somewhat eccentric, and inexperienced protagonist? His character development is clearly visible, and the female lead is even his mentor—that's interesting.

I'm curious about Shan Zhao's role; the assassin clearly paused when he saw her face—is this a foreshadowing?

[That's it, that's it. Such a cliché plot. It's just another story about a male protagonist who works hard to find his parents and becomes the world's number one martial arts master. You can guess how the story will end. Gao Tingzhong has really run out of ideas.]

[When the female supporting character appeared, it wasn't the typical trope of the female supporting character falling in love with the male lead. She clearly had no feelings for him, while her eyes shone when the female lead appeared later. I wonder if it was just the lighting.]

[Who played the supporting actress? She's so new, I've never seen her before. Her facial features and bone structure are amazing; even with such a simple and rustic look, you can still see her superior features.]
