Wang Xiyou did not fully praise the character of Mu Lin, even though she was the female lead and the actress who played her.
Everyone has flaws, and so what if she's the female protagonist? In the eyes of the readers, she's not even a true female protagonist.
Just as she was about to finish speaking, she put her hand holding the microphone to her abdomen. The reporters thought she was done and were about to turn the camera towards Lu Wanzheng when they saw Wang Xiyou raise the microphone in her hand again.
"Mu Lin's circumstances led her to choose the harem. If Jiang Wan's battlefield was on the frontier, then Mu Lin's battlefield was in the harem. They were both fighting for themselves."
This time, she put the microphone down completely.
The reporter, worried that she hadn't finished speaking, quietly asked her if she was done, and Wang Xiyou nodded to the reporter.
The reporters immediately pointed their microphones at Lu Wanzheng, "So, what is Jiang Wan to you, Wanzheng?"
Lu Wanzheng smiled and tilted her head slightly, pondering Jiang Wan in her mind. She held the microphone to her chin.
Her thoughtful gesture was captured by the camera.
The girl's face was delicate and beautiful. Her rosy lips moved slightly, and the light from above made her face appear even softer.
Especially her bright eyes, her amber pupils seemed to be sparkling.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Wanzheng said, "In my heart, Jiang Wan is a heroine. She was willing to shed blood on the battlefield, even though women were not allowed to go to war in that era. But in order to realize her ideals and ambitions, she chose a rather dangerous approach—"
A woman dressed as a man.
But this was also the best way for her to realize her ambitions. She proved to the world that women could also be brave and skilled in battle, instead of being confined to the inner quarters and becoming appendages of men.
Ultimately, her character led her to love, and it also showed us that a woman with personal charm deserves more respect from men and is more attractive to them.
Furthermore, I don't believe that Wang Xiyou's last statement, that Jiang Wan fought on the battlefield just to realize her own ambitions, was true.
No, I don't think so.
If you look into the background of the story after the movie is released, you'll understand what led a young lady from a secluded family to take up a sword and go to the battlefield.
Although Jiang Wan is a fictional character, there were many female heroes like her in history, and they all deserve our admiration and our study of their stories.
When Wang Xiyou finished speaking, Lu Wanzheng felt that what she said was wrong. The character Mu Lin had schemed against many concubines and persecuted many imperial children in order to secure her position as empress. To conflate the two characters was an insult to Jiang Wan.
What should have been a noble cause of national righteousness was instead described by Wang Xiyou as fighting for himself.
Lu Wanzheng couldn't stand it, because it was a role she had put a lot of effort into, and she wouldn't tolerate it. That's why she directly confronted Wang Xiyou in front of so many people, criticizing her for not being careful with her words.
You can use your own cunning to benefit yourself, but you can't say that Jiang Wan does the same thing.
As soon as Lu Wanzheng finished speaking, Xiaohua below slapped the table and cheered, "As expected of Sister Wanzheng, she's amazing. She's so sharp when she talks back."
Yao Zijun glanced at Xiao Hua and saw her foolishly praising Lu Wanzheng for doing a great job. She suddenly said, "Judging from your excitement, you must have a lot of energy tonight."
