Every summer vacation, among the classic TV series that we will miss, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" must be one of them.

html June 28th marked the 13th anniversary of the premiere of "Sword and Sword 3", and related topics quickly became hot searches.

Every time a fairy tale drama of the same type starts filming, the "Fairy Sword" series will be archaeologically reviewed, plot details are revealed, and the luxurious cast of protagonists is difficult to reproduce.

Someone said bluntly that they thought "Sword and Sword 3" was the beginning of the fairy tale drama, but unexpectedly it became the peak. What's more, he bluntly stated that the fairy tale drama is dead.

Is it the lost youth time that we miss again and again, or is it a magical drama that can no longer be replicated?

Falling in love is not the original sin of Xianxia

I don’t know since when, "falling in love" has become an unpopular plot line.

According to the current heroine script, the female characters in "Sword and Sword 3" have an average of love brain per capita in the early stage.

The unruly and willful eldest daughter of the Tang family, Xuejian, shouted "I am a heroine" while often quarreling and quarreling with Jingtian, which affected the progress of the team.

When Jingtian tried to deceive the trust of Fire Ghost King in order to get the Fire Spirit Pearl , Xuejian mistakenly thought that he really wanted to marry the Fire Ghost King. He almost told the truth in a hurry, but was beaten by Jingtian and ran away in anger.

Zixuan, a descendant of Nuwa, Zixuan, clearly shoulders the important task of protecting her people, but in order to stay with Xu Changqing, she froze her daughter to maintain her youth and beauty.

Solanum nigrum seems to be closer to the current Xiaobaihua character. In order to monopolize her brother's love, she took advantage of the opportunity to send messages to deepen the misunderstanding between Jingtian and Xuejian, and was also exploited by Evil Sword Fairy .

However, the main theme that "Sword and Fairy 3" wants to convey is not to destroy love to achieve great things, but to discuss the spiritual core of love.

Love is life and death, mutual dependence.

Xuejian and Jingtian changed from happy enemies to comrades who live and die together. When Jingtian wanted to enter the Demon Locking Tower alone, Xuejian was not allowed to accompany him. Xuejian convinced him with just one sentence:

"What would you do if I was the one destined to enter the Demon Lock Tower?"

Love is also about learning to let go and fulfill your lover's ideals.

In order to defeat Sedum, Nightshade has chosen to jump into the sword refining furnace and sacrifice her flesh and blood to the sword.

Zixuan had been entangled with Xu Changqing for three lives, and finally chose to break up with Xu Changqing so that he could complete his mission of inheriting the Taoist priest of Shushan.

But this does not mean that their first two lives are meaningless. In classical love scripts, the tragedy of the hero and heroine often conveys a kind of rebellion against the traditional order.

In the first life, Zixuan and Xu Changqing jumped off a cliff to die in love, which is the core of the same strain as Liang Zhuhuadie.

In the 94 version of "Butterfly Lovers" that has recently been popular among netizens, Zhu Yingtai's mother faced the fate of her daughter that was exactly the same as hers, and asked Liang Shanbo: Do ​​you think anger can change your destiny?

At that time, Zixuan and Xu Changqing changed their destiny at the cost of their lives.

In recent years, there have been an endless stream of fairy tale dramas, but all that remains are plots of resistance to abuse for the sake of abuse, and lack of questioning on the meaning of life.

When the male and female protagonists fall in love casually, they can stir up great changes in the three worlds. The reincarnation theme goes from three lives and three lives to ten lives and ten lives. The plot loops endlessly in the sweet and sadistic pull, bringing the be aesthetics to the extreme.

Unlike fans of the drama who are in tears, netizens passing by just want to ask: Do the gods have nothing else to do except fall in love?

We really don’t want such careless love meal replacements.

Little characters can also be big heroes

The Fairy Sword series occupies a high position in our childhood memories, perhaps because most of the characters are small characters.

In childhood, who didn’t dream of being a hero/heroine?

carried a sword on his back and stumbled into the world. When we set out on the road, we may have been unknown, but looking back we have seen the vicissitudes of life.

Just as Li Xiaoyao said to Jingtian: "Although you are a little gangster now, I believe you will win, because I was also a little gangster before."

In order to highlight that even a small person can save the world, the plot is On the one hand, Sedum's previous life - General Feipeng is used as a comparison, and on the other hand, it is also reflected by the supporting characters.

Feipeng left his post without authorization in order to have a happy fight with Demon Zunzhenglou, causing the heaven to be invaded. But he was unwilling to admit his mistakes and was demoted to the human world by the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven said: "People will do all their responsibilities for the same world and the same dream. Maybe as a god, you don't know how to cherish it, so let life teach you this."

When Feipeng became a gangster and a sedum, he But he carried the hope of the whole world without hesitation, and went to Shushan to confront the Evil Sword Immortal again and again. He went crazy, was scared, and collapsed, but he never gave up.

The gluttonous and kind-hearted Maomao seems to have no merit except loyalty. In order to relieve Sedum and allow the people in the city to eat food, he does not hesitate to cut his meat in exchange for food.

He Biping, who seemed snobbish, silently saved ten thousand taels of gold for Jingtian, lurked beside the Evil Sword Fairy, helped Jingtian win the bet, and saved Xu Changqing and Zixuan's daughter, but he was thrown off a cliff and died.

In "Sword and Sword 3", each character has grown from a child who only thinks about himself to an adult who is willing to take responsibility.

As Xuejian said in the play: "If a person is born with extraordinary abilities and can do anything easily, of course he is not a hero. Only a person who can be injured and scared can do his best. Only one thing can be called a hero. "

This line may now be lost.

Since the popularity of "花千 Bone", the opportunity for the protagonist of the fairy tale drama to counterattack is no longer for the common people, but for the entanglement of love and hate.

All kinds of plots can be condensed into one sentence: "Those who love me will die for me; those who I love want me to die."

The heroine often possesses mysterious powers or has a noble status, just waiting for the vicious female partner Inspire her and turn her into a "big heroine".

When we watch the drama, we are no longer a small character but can grow into a better version of ourselves step by step, make a difference and contribute to society.

can only imagine that he also has a hidden identity, and once it is revealed, he will never suffer again.

This kind of value is more like an extension of the concept of infinite people in domestic dramas.

We can no longer see the real joys, sorrows, and joys of small people, leaving only a group of exquisite nobles who, after being unable to pursue higher self-worth, went down to earth to experience life out of boredom.

Abandon male audiences, and there is no big female protagonist

Someone once said that the transformation of fairy tale dramas from a male perspective to a female perspective in recent years is an improvement in concepts.

However, when the heroine encounters setbacks, there are often only two plot arrangements.

One is to randomly find supporting characters who are unlikely to fall in love with the heroine, solve problems for the heroine, and then throw them away after use.

The second is to make the heroine misunderstand the hero, thereby "blackening" and stimulating the hidden divine power.

The heroine lacks a reasonable growth plot, and often fails to assume the so-called "big heroine" responsibility.

If you want to truly establish the heroine character through the plot, it cannot be accomplished by changing the gender of the character.

In "Sword and Sword 3", which still focuses on the growth of the male protagonist, the self-awareness of the female characters is not inferior.

Xuejian lost her support due to the death of her grandfather and was forced to embark on the road of growth alone, and in the process gradually discovered the shining point of her lover.

In the whole process, there is no rescue of the weak by the strong, but equal mutual assistance.

Nightshade took the initiative to sacrifice her flesh and blood to the sword twice, not only for her brother, but also for all living beings, rather than simply sacrificing her life for love.

Zixuan waited for Xu Changqing for 300 years, and stole the heart of Demon Zunzunlou just to retain her youthful appearance. Faced with difficulties in the three realms, she resolutely handed over the Shui Lingzhu even at the cost of her own life and that of her daughter.

can be willful for little love, but can also sacrifice for great love, and can be freely retracted.

Good works are not limited to one gender as the main perspective, but strive to have a full image of each character and a reasonable plot line.

In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the costumes of fairy tale dramas have become more and more exquisite, but the core of the scripts have become more and more formal, stuck in routine-like counterattacks and slaps in the face, and empty moans of petty love.

When love becomes the main line and saving the common people becomes a sideshow, gods are set to be nobler existences than the common people, and the spiritual core of the immortals ceases to exist.

Many settings of the fairy tale drama seem to be divorced from the rationality in reality, allowing us to immerse ourselves in it and have a big dream.

But after waking up from the dream, the part that can haunt us are those emotions that are common to ancient and modern times and resonate at home and abroad. They are as ordinary as the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the people around us, and as grand as the choice of life and death.

We are still looking forward to the next hit that can withstand the aftertaste of 10 years.

Friends who think it is good, please help and give it a thumbs up. Thank you for your help!
