The ancient costume fantasy love light comedy " Wen Xiangxi " produced by Sohu Video officially ended on September 8. Since its broadcast, many topics such as "Wen Xiangxie Mermaid Loves the Real Scent" and "Wen Xiangxie's Famous Scene of Famous Love" have become popular searches on the Internet platform, with the number of related topics read 200 million. In the current fiercely competitive costume drama "battlefield", the drama has won the audience's reputation with its high quality of "small and beautiful", setting off a wave of watching dramas.

"Wen Xiangxie" is adapted from the representative work of the same name by the popular writer Hai Hai from Tianya. As a fantasy costume idol drama theme, "Wen Xiangxie" has innovatively built a mysterious "incense making" world in addition to common fantasy elements such as spells. In order to make the resurrected senior brother's supreme fragrance, Wanniang needs to collect all the six fragrances of the mortal world, namely love separation, discomfort, unable to let go, regret, unable to seek, and meeting with enemies and hatreds. The series of entanglements in the play revolves around these magical incense products, with a rich fantasy color.
In addition, although "Wen Xiangxie" is a costume fantasy drama, it does not build an overly grand and complex world view, but tries to incorporate more fireworks into character portrayal and plot shaping to create a beautiful realistic fairy tale for the audience. Director Zhang Nan summarized the drama with the word "a dreamy feeling beyond reality but not out of life, a sense of care for security, and initial expectation for love."

Since the show was broadcast, the "mermaid couple" has captured many fans. The actors Wang Xuan and Xu Bin collaborated on filming for the first time, but they are as tacit as an old friend. When asked what kind of role the other player wanted to play the most, the two said bluntly that they wanted to continue to "form a CP", which made fans of the drama look forward to whether there would be a second season.
Sohu Video has tried the "incense making" theme web drama for the first time. The costumes that fit the characters, exquisite and gorgeous incense making tools, antique interior scenes and movie textured picture presentation, as well as bright and smooth editing techniques, etc., all of which give the audience a try. It brings an excellent visual experience. The main creative team put in a lot of effort, from script polishing to on-site shooting to post-production, which is very efficient in a short and time-consuming manner.

It is reported that in the future, Sohu Video will continue to be a "small but beautiful" creative model, innovating and exploring on the basis of different types of dramas. (For more news, please follow Yangchengpai pai.ycwb.com)
