With the finale of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," online discussions about this martial arts drama have once again become lively.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a great TV series. Li Tian is so awesome, all the directors should take note!"
"I like Ye Feng's portrayal of Lin Pingzhi the most. In my heart, only Lin Pingzhi can be called a hero. Although he turned to the dark side later, it was out of necessity!"
"I agree with the comment above. Lin Pingzhi didn't lay a finger on Yue Lingshan on their wedding day, which shows that he still has a conscience!"
"What a pity! I thought I'd see some steamy scenes between Ye Feng and Huang Yiyi on their wedding day, but there was nothing. It's so disappointing!"
"If you want to see sex scenes, go watch movies made in Japan, where only a few people can act out the whole thing. Wouldn't that be even more exciting!"
"Linghu Chong is the coolest! Behold my Dugu Nine Swords, Breaking Sword Style! Swish swish swish! Kill them all!"
"Only children read about Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong is definitely not a good person. He colluded with the evil sect, couldn't distinguish between good and evil, and has he killed too few good people?"
"Hey, why do you people get so caught up in the show? Just enjoy yourself, don't you get tired of using your brains like this?"
"Dongfang Bubai's acting was superb. If I didn't know Li Wushuang was a man, I would have really thought he was a woman!"
"I agree! Li Wushuang in period dramas is simply invincible; it makes my mouth water!"
"The person upstairs is a pervert, confirmed! Also, just to clarify, the best-looking actress in period dramas isn't Li Wushuang, it's his daughter Li Shishi!"
"I agree. Li Shishi's portrayal of Yilin is the most beautiful; it's just that the costumes hold her back!"
"Your little nun is dressed like she's from a brothel! If you don't know anything, then don't talk nonsense, okay? The most beautiful one is Goddess Yi, no arguments allowed!"
"Indeed, Tang Yi's acting skills have improved a lot in this drama, especially the scene where she is carried in a sedan chair. Her entrance was really shocking!"
"That wasn't just shocking, that was fucking terrifying! It made me too scared to go to the bathroom at night, and I kept hearing that music every time I closed my eyes!"
"Speaking of music, the soundtrack in this drama is absolutely amazing. The opening theme 'A Laughter in the Vast Sea,' the theme song 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' in the drama, and Li Tian's 'ee-ya' in the ending theme song are all so classic!"
"That's a must. You don't even know what kind of background Li Tian has. He's a professional musician, so this is a piece of cake for him."
"That makes sense. I feel like all three pieces are classics. Sigh! There's really none that can rival them!"
"A lone figure on a cold river, old friends from the martial world, why bother with past acquaintances when we meet again? Wherever there are people, there is the martial world! That's so damn classic!"
"After watching Li Tian's 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' I never want to watch any other martial arts dramas again. Li Tian, you bastard, you've spoiled my taste!"
………
Looking at the discussions online, Li Tian felt that his efforts had not been in vain.
Honestly, there are very few good people in this "Swordsman" series; almost all the main characters are not good people.
But thinking about it carefully, how many truly good people are there in reality?
In Li Tian's opinion, the protagonist Linghu Chong is definitely not a good person, but his unconventional personality is still commendable.
Before Lin Pingzhi turned evil, he was probably the person with the most upright values. After turning evil, his personality changed drastically, and he could no longer be considered a good person.
Yue Buqun, burdened with heavy responsibilities, schemed to seize the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, making him hardly a good person.
Most importantly, this guy is ambitious, and everyone knows it: the Five Mountains Sword Sect knows it, Shaolin and Wudang know it, and the Sun Moon Sect knows it too.
Ren Yingying is hardly a good person, and the Demonic Sect is only loyal and righteous; they are almost entirely devoid of the word "good person."
As for Dongfang Bubai, he didn't actually do anything too bad, but he handed over power to Yang Lianting, so he can't be considered a good person either.
As for Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, let's not even talk about them. There are no good people in the Demonic Sect, and that statement is absolutely true.
The remaining characters aren't major roles either. Yilin is a good person, but she doesn't have many scenes.
Yue Lingshan is actually quite good, it's just a pity she's blind and misjudged the person.
Li Tian even thought that if Yue Buqun could betroth Yue Lingshan to Linghu Chong...
The story could very well have taken a different turn, after all, Linghu Chong still has deep feelings for his junior sister.
However, there is some truth to that saying: "The best plum is always the one that falls from the sky." Who can say for sure?
That's what the martial arts world is all about. There are no good people in the martial arts world, and it's difficult for good people to gain a foothold in it.
After filming "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," Li Tian gained a deeper understanding of the story.
The success of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" has also shown other directors and screenwriters a way out for martial arts dramas.
It turns out that martial arts dramas can be made into classics without resorting to sex, gore, or violence, and even those classics have a rating of 9.7.
Most of these directors never made a martial arts drama with a rating of 9.5 or higher in their entire lives.
Seeing that Li Tian, an outsider to the field, actually produced such a classic martial arts drama, it's impossible not to feel envious.
Li Tian didn't care what these people thought. After all, to make a martial arts drama like this, you first need a script.
This is the essence accumulated over many years on Earth.
He also drew on the filming techniques of others to create such a classic martial arts drama.
Even with just a script, Li Tian probably couldn't have created such a classic martial arts drama.
Next, we need to prepare the script for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
However, before that, there was one more thing waiting for Li Tian.
The anniversary of Ye Yu's death was approaching, and Li Tian had wanted to pay respects to his first love.
Ye Lan stopped them, but didn't explain the specific reason, only saying that the time wasn't right yet.
