I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 222, Using blindness and ignorance to protect the bewildered, Li Xiaoyao's acting is quite good.

He calmly told Li Xiaoyao something.

The Earth is round.

This is common sense, a principle that even a three-year-old child knows, especially in China where the nine-year compulsory education system is very well implemented.

Someone who, if said in real life, wouldn't elicit any strange reactions.

But it appears in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But it had a slightly strange, unpleasant taste.

Love, love, love.

Everything in "Chinese Paladin"—from the initial episodic series to the later ones—revolves around the theme of "love." The logic behind all the characters' actions is inseparable from this word: love.

This can be said to be the main theme of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the audience agrees with it.

However, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult was an 'outlier'.

In this world, regardless of good or bad, big or small, the logic behind their actions is inseparable from the word "love."

This is such a romantic world.

A world that people yearn for so much, it has a bit of a fairytale feel to it.
Xu Xiaodan felt that while watching "Chinese Paladin", she felt younger both mentally and physically, and her youthful spirit was on full display.

Although everyone's ending is different, there are good, bad, and even more tragedies.

But that doesn't stop Xu Xiaodan from thinking that...

This is a world of gods and demons driven by love.

What a great place!
The leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

As the ultimate villain, Li Xuan unleashed all his malice, and he was responsible for so many of the tragedies in the story.

This includes Zhao Ling'er's mother and the death of the Witch Queen.

Grandma's death.

He is an utterly despicable creature, and from the very beginning, there is no room for redemption. He must be physically eliminated in order to quell the audience's hatred.

Judging from the tone of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", defeating him may involve sacrifices, but these are all necessary.

until.

When he said the Earth is round.

Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured over Xu Xiaodan's head.

"Wow! I didn't even know it could be like that!"

Even Wang Jinsong, who had played "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", was somewhat surprised at this moment.

In fact, he is the most shocking portrayal of the Moon Worship Cult Leader. In the original game, he was an extremely one-dimensional villain. Even if the performance was exquisite, it would not change the character's basic attributes.

That doesn't change the fact that he killed so many charismatic characters.

And when he says here that the Earth is round.

This instantly gave the already rational and sensible villain a sense of wisdom.

True wisdom is expressed.

It's not that others say he's so wise.

Everyone says that Li Xiaoyao is incredibly intelligent, and his actions in the story do indeed showcase some of his cleverness.

But it's still far from true wisdom, just like the situation right now.

Do you think I'd be as foolish as the people outside who believe your endless lies?

At this moment, Li Xiaoyao spoke with righteous indignation.

Worth.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

"You actually had the ability to change all of this."

At this moment, the Moon Worship Cult Leader said calmly, "Just like when you sent Zhao Ling'er to Immortal Spirit Island back then, you went to the far west, but you were actually going east. The place you sent Zhao Ling'er to was Immortal Spirit Island."

"You are lucky to have glimpsed the power of God and travel through time and space, but your misfortune lies in the fact that it is your ignorance that makes history."

Irritability, anger, and a breakdown in defenses.

It's not that there's no chance.

God gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it.

You are blessed by fate.

But to be unable to control one's destiny is truly tragic.

Therefore, Li Xiaoyao's rage and loss of defense.

Baiyue's attitude was very clear: it's really just that you're bad at the game.

Sorrow and pity were evident in Baiyue's eyes.

It is indeed a great irony.

Regarding the wisdom of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

Actually, there are quite a few foreshadowing elements.

He helped Jin Yuan, but the price he had to pay was all of his family's books.

This is a fair and just transaction.

For Baiyue, knowledge is an invaluable treasure for understanding the truth of the world.

When all those personas have been built up.

The Earth is round.

It broke through Li Xiaoyao's defenses directly.

Because he knew this was the right reason, otherwise there would be no way to explain why he rode the phoenix to send Ling'er to the west, but still ended up on the fairy island in the east.

The earth is actually a ball.

Therefore, it is round.

God loves the world.

But He will not enlighten you about your ignorance.

And you have no desire to pursue the truth of this matter.

I spent many years trying to find this answer.

I set off from the Nanzhao Kingdom.

We walked and walked.

Finally, they returned to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

I got the answer.

The truth has been revealed.

I have obtained the truth of this world that only I know.

Li Xiaoyao.

Just like when you worship and trust Nuwa.

Those moon worshippers also worship me in the same way.

Am I a god then?

And you did it for your God.

You must kill me.

That is whether.

To them.

Is it also evil?
at this time.

Zhu Yawen was also shocked.

"I can't believe it's possible to do that. It's so full of wisdom. Well, I feel a little sorry for Li Xiaoyao."

Yes, it's heartbreaking.

The audience here is immersed in the story.

It really broke through the major defenses.

The truth is the sharpest knife.

Every knife strike could be fatal.

It cost Li Xiaoyao his life.

"But don't you feel that you have a stronger sense of youthfulness?"

Huang Bo, who was standing next to him, said with a twitching mouth.

Inexplicable.

Li Xiaoyao's breakdown further amplifies his youthful charm.

That's too abstract.

Tell me, does it highlight the main character's traits?

Has this overshadowed the main topic?

This is the true level of acting skills and character portrayal.

The two sides complement and contrast each other.

Step on the right foot with the left foot.

A spirited young swordsman, who matured after experiencing all kinds of hardships.

A super villain who sees through the illusions of the world and possesses astonishing wisdom.

Here, we need to add "super".

Because his wickedness is unparalleled.

In a world that speaks of love.

You fucking talk science!

Doesn't going against the fundamental truths of how the world works make one a major villain?!
"Actually, I didn't think that much about it at the time."

At this moment, we are on the Taiwan side.

Yao Zhuangpian was still a bit frustrated. In terms of copyright, she hadn't assessed the value of her IP, resulting in a huge loss.

But after watching it, I felt like I wasn't at such a loss.

After all, the character of the Moon Worship Cult Leader is a flat, old villain in the game, lacking charm and only exuding a sense of oppression and hatred.

For the Chinese-style "hero fighting dragons".

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult, this "demon king," is undoubtedly qualified.

just.

It wasn't like what's portrayed in TV dramas these days.

It's not just about being qualified; it also possesses a unique charm.

A charm completely different from the protagonist.

The direct impact was probably a surge in sales of the official "Chinese Paladin" DVDs.

At this moment, Liu Lili was in Beiping, at the headquarters of Tangren Film and Television. Cai Yulong's expression at this time was unknown.

It was absolutely fantastic.

The selling point of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is its youthful spirit.

A boy's fantastical adventure.

Live a simple and chivalrous life with love and justice.

The younger the person, the more they can relate to the story.

When confronting the leader of the Moon Worship Cult, his youthful spirit reached its peak. The confusion and ignorance unique to youth greatly enhanced his youthful charm, and the popularity of the broken boy increased rather than decreased.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

But as a viewer.

Cai Yulong sensed a strange smell.

My Li Xiaoyao is clearly the main character!

And in contrast to the young Li Xiaoyao.

The one whose popularity skyrocketed even more was Li Xuan's Moon Worship Cult Leader.

I fucking bastard.

Did Li Xiaoyao become your stepping stone?! Did he become your supporting character?

That's the current situation.

Li Xiaoyao's gains were minor, but the Moon Worship Cult Leader's gains were the major ones.

His popularity has completely surpassed that of the second male lead.

Tang Yu is someone who needs to be promoted.

He's a second-rate bastard.

As a result, its popularity was overshadowed.

"All the popularity I gave to Li Xiaoyao is now being added to the Moon Worship Cult Leader."

Cai Yulong had no choice but to accept this outcome.

I just find it a bit unbelievable.

Judging from the characters depicted in this work, many of them are teenagers, who are at the most confused and ignorant age. Their favorite characters should be people like Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er.

They probably prefer passionate young men and women.

Freedom, passion, justice, love.

These elements.

"The charm of wisdom and maturity is equally irresistible to teenagers."

Liu Lili said casually, "Do you know who I was reminded of when I watched him play a role?"

"who."

Hannibal Lecter from "The Silence of the Lambs".

Elegant, intelligent, cruel.

But it is also full of charm.

The Moon Worship Cult Leader is the same; he kills, he wants to summon a flood to destroy the world, and then use Zhao Ling'er's power to reshape the entire human world—that is his goal.

There was no issue of concealment from the very beginning.

It was not for personal gain.

If he wanted to be a god, then he already was. For the Nanzhao Kingdom, even the king worshipped him. He was the only god so that he could imprison his beloved queen!

But God wants to kill his people.

In the most extreme way.

According to the logic of moon worship.

Their greatest flaw is that they love God, revere God, and have God in their hearts.

A world where truth and mortals are connected by the bond of "love".

Let them be destroyed.

"You have a very high opinion of the Silence of the Lamb."

Hannibal Lecter, a classic villain.

Even as a villain, he is a charismatic character.

Liu Lili sighed at this point.

"Hannibal is also an evil person, but the leader of the Moon Worship Cult is evil to the extreme, evil in a righteous way."

Hu Qu is undoubtedly the most talked-about figure on campus recently.

Or rather, it always has been.

He was responsible for delivering the speeches at the opening ceremony.

He wasn't very close to his classmates at school; he only kept in touch with a few, such as Yuan Hong and Zhu Jie.

Now, thanks to the TV series "Chinese Paladin", his popularity has skyrocketed, making him a "campus heartthrob" and "idol".

Some even say he could graduate directly as a "star".

They are fully capable of standing out in this year's awards.

He was initially very happy, but now he just couldn't muster any enthusiasm.

After watching it, I felt a sense of frustration.

This is the first time.

Popularity increased.

It's clearly something to be happy about.

"Poor Li Xiaoyao, how will he defeat the big villain later?"

At this moment, Zhu Jie could tell what Lao Hu was feeling.

A sense of fragmentation.

It's also a kind of youthful feeling.

Of course, this is the person who used "wisdom" to shatter Li Xiaoyao's image. How will Li Xiaoyao refute him in the next episode?

This is, as an audience member.

I'm very curious.

Many people are discussing this on Tianya Forum and Sina Blog.

How will Li Xiaoyao defeat Bai Yue?

Or rather, how to save his Daoist heart.

It's a horse's paw.

Watching the protagonist's fragmented mindset is kind of fun!

And the bonding after it breaks.

It means "growth".

Growth is when your charm shines through most.

Therefore, Tangren Media, knowing the famous scenes created by this drama, even those beneficial to Baiyue, still focused its promotion on this episode.

There is a kind of situation where one ends up benefiting someone else.

It's like we have to push through.

"How should I put it? In the end, the protagonist still won."

At this moment, Hu Qu's eyes held a complex expression.

Although I won.

But the person involved was still very unhappy.

One possibility is quite reasonable for Li Xiaoyao.

Hu Qu won in a way that puzzled him greatly.

The fermentation effect of the previous episode was immediate.

In addition, it was publicized.

The ratings soared, reaching 8.3.

It is more than 1.5 times the average viewership.

The final episode usually gets 1.2 times the base rating, but this one got 1.5 times the base rating, which only shows that the previous episode was very attractive.

On the other hand, in "Kung Fu Master".

Dead silence.

A viewership rating of 2.1%.

Flopped.

Liu Songping was completely numb at this point.

It's all so chaotic.

It's clearly a kung fu IP, so how did it flop so completely?

"Mainland audiences are so rude, giving such a good TV series such low ratings."

But no matter what.

The result was terrible viewership ratings.

Huang Shengyi was completely exasperated and just wanted to get out of Star Shine Entertainment as soon as possible and go play with his eggs.

I can't beat Li Xuan.

I really can't beat Liu Yifei!

"By the way, how do you think Li Xiaoyao will defeat the Moon Worship Cult Leader?"

"I don't know. I have a feeling that this villain is stronger than I imagined. He has boundless magic power, evil deeds, and a unified and firm will. I don't know how he can lose."

"Poor Li Xiaoyao."

"Don't talk!!!"

At this moment, Liu Songping was also very annoyed by everyone discussing the Legend of Sword and Fairy!
However, after a brief pause, the students continued their chatter.

Good auntie, this is university, not high school. This is senior year, not freshman year. You think you can just stop talking like that? Who do you think you are?

Liu Songping's vision went black.

I almost fainted.

Damn it, I'm going to faint.

"There's no need to watch any further. He has surpassed himself. I never expected that this role could be even better. Is he some kind of dead veteran actor who has been reincarnated?"

At this moment, Zhang Guoli became calmer.

This seems to have been expected.

I'm not so surprised anymore.

As for Li Xuan, the characters and value he created have rendered all of my efforts over this period of time futile, flowing eastward like water.

The hype is still building, and it remains to be seen how much of this support Li Xuan can actually utilize, and what percentage of it he can achieve.

However, these are not examples of negative praise that leads to downfall, but rather positive resources.

Compared to the investment of resources.

More than anything, it was resentment stemming from jealousy.

Back when we were filming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", I was one of those people who admired him and felt that he had given face to the cast of mainland actors.

However, when interests clash, they do not hesitate to tear off their friendly mask.

damn it.

Hypocritical old man.

Zhang Guoli then made a self-deprecating remark.

Mocking himself.

It's unbelievable that they could be so undignified.

"son."

"What's wrong."

At that moment, Zhang Mo subconsciously felt that his father was about to yell at him.

Bear with it.

"sorry."

"what"

"I apologize," Zhang Guoli said calmly. "It seems I've placed too much of my own desires on you, but actually I was just trying to save face."

Zhang Mo never expected that after this major failure...

Surprisingly, his own father didn't continue to beat or scold him.

In fact, his performance in "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth" and many other Qing Dynasty dramas was quite remarkable and cannot be described as weak.

It can only be said that compared to the prodigy Li Xuan, it still falls short in some aspects.

But who is that person?

That's Li Xuan.

Those were three dramas airing back-to-back, all of which were able to steal the spotlight from the main characters, with supporting actors gaining popularity and even rivaling the main characters. "Chinese Paladin" was even more exaggerated, with Li Xiaoyao's high popularity directly boosting the popularity of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

Compared to those major villains who destroy the world at the drop of a hat.

He appeared to be so handsome.

Even taken for granted.

Zhang Mo was the same.

I absolutely hate Li Xuan, that stinking peasant.

However, I can't bring myself to dislike the character of the Moon Worship Cult Leader; in fact, I have a strange kind of liking and admiration for him.

I even checked the time now.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

Time to watch "Chinese Paladin".

At this time, Liu Yifei was at Li Xuan's house. She had been there many times before and they were quite familiar with each other. She was very efficient in preparing meals and snacks.

Wei Ming praised the girl.

"You look like an independent and self-reliant girl."

"I've been living on my own since I was fourteen!"

Liu Yifei grinned; living independently was a very simple and easy thing for her.

At this moment, Li Xuan was resting his chin on his hand.

Now we just wait for the final development of the plot.

Watching the ending of the work with Liu Yifei.

"Your character's popularity is almost on par with the main character!"

At this moment, Liu Yifei was overjoyed, as if she were the one who had won the crown jewel of popularity.

Li Xiaoyao's popularity is extremely high. His unique youthful charm is almost unmatched, and even Liu Yifei is slightly inferior in popularity. It is a rare case of a teen idol drama where the male lead is more popular than the female lead.

After all, it's not a work exclusively for women.

Everyone has a Li Xiaoyao in their heart.

There is someone named Xiaoyao Gege in every one of them.

He yearned for a carefree life, for beautiful women and fairies, and for wandering the world with a sword in hand, his heart brimming with heroic spirit.

He seems to have encountered a major difficulty now.

Choosing between Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er presents an even greater challenge.

What reason should I give to defeat Baiyue?

This is something the audience is curious about.

Although Li Xiaoyao will ultimately win, the process itself is intriguing.

Go see how he finishes.

Witness the end of moon worship.

The TV series begins.

Tang Yu and Anu died and transformed into a pair of lovebirds, still maintaining contact with each other even in death.

Tang Yu lost his wings, so let Anu take his place.

Flying side by side.

Connected by love and affection.

Finally, this love was passed on to Li Xiaoyao.

Then he used that move.

Hysterical.

Love knows no bounds!
With a single move, Love Without Limits, Baiyue, who was trying to explain scientific principles, was utterly destroyed.

The plot of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" ends here.

Li Xiaoyao, along with the next generation of Nuwa's descendants and Zhao Ling'er's ashes, entered a Buddhist monastery.

He transformed into a poor Taoist priest.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy".

ended.

Love knows no bounds and defeats scientific reasoning.

It seems a bit absurd.

"For a moment I almost thought that Hu Qu couldn't keep up with the performance." At this moment, Cai Yulong felt relieved.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She was genuinely afraid, genuinely afraid that Li Xiaoyao wouldn't be able to withstand this final blow.

That's all I can say about this scene.

Hu Qu did his best and delivered an acting performance that surpassed his own previous achievements.

He took control of Li Xiaoyao and handled the role well.

"His future is limitless."

At this moment, Liu Lili looked at Cai Yulong beside her and gave Hu Qu a sharp review with a complicated expression.

Behind the boundless love.

This is not to deny the "science" of moon worship.

If it's truly an awkward declaration of "love without limits" followed by the act of killing Baiyue, then that's not entirely unacceptable and perfectly in line with the character and the script's tone.

Nothing wrong with it.

But that's all there is to the role.

A traditional protagonist.

The young protagonist.

Until the very end, his "love is infinite" did indeed produce an arc.

Protect yourself with blindness and ignorance.

To combat the confusion brought about by the truth of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

This is the choice Li Xiaoyao made in his confrontation with Baiyue.

And the victories achieved.

last of the last.

The script is elevated to a higher level.

"Should I thank you for your praise?" Cai Yulong's expression was very complicated at this moment: "Because he took over Li Xuan's role and came into contact with the scientific truth of the Moon Worship Cult Leader, so he deserves your praise."

"Right, what else?"

Yes.

if not.

This is Li Xuan.

It's a real monster.

When I saw the ending theme song at this moment.

Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, I really admire Li Xiaoyao. I'm not lying to you; he really is a good kid."

Bai Yue, dressed in white, stood beside Li Xuan and looked at him indifferently.

It seems there's only one person left to confide in.

"That's not good."

At this moment, Li Xuan looked at the Moon Worship Cult Leader and said, "At least he taught you what .ai is."

Love is something like that.

It serves as the benchmark for operating the world of Chinese Paladin.

Abstract yet real.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult was motivated by the loss of love, and when he finally understood the existence of love, one could only say that he had an epiphany before his death.

After all, it's a world where only perfect rationality exists.

And a world with only perfect sensuality.

They seem to be no different.

When love reaches its limit, reason will become limitless; when reason reaches its limit, love will reappear.

I envy you, living in a world where "truth" is the only truth.

The sound of worshipping the moon gradually faded away.

Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if they had actually lived.

Or rather.

It's as if I once lived in the world of Chinese Paladin, as the leader of the Moon Worship Cult who pursued victory.

Li Xuan found this interesting.

Will I ever act in a real and beautiful world in the future, a world that I would want to immerse myself in even if I wanted to abandon reality?

The beauty of art lies in the fact that it is a false beauty created by real people.

However, Li Xuan was thinking about it the next second.

If you encounter such a world and such a character.

I think I can act better myself.

That's good.
