The plot of "The Legend of Zanghai" revolves around Wang Zanghai, the ancestor of the Wang family. Currently, according to the Douban homepage of the drama, the drama tells the story of Wang Zanghai, who was originally the son of Qin Tian Jian Zheng, and experienced the disaster of his entire family in his childhood. Bearing a blood feud, he restrained his talents and learned the art of construction and manipulation. Ten years later, he returned to the capital with a new face and became a counselor under his enemy Marquis Pingjin. From the prince's mansion to the court, from a civilian counselor to becoming the chief minister of the empire's cabinet, Wang Zanghai struggled to move in the treacherous power situation. He finally got the chance to kill his enemy, but found that he had only just glimpsed a corner of the conspiracy... Facing Mu Mu With no knowledge of the road ahead, Wang Zanghai overcame obstacles, finally uncovered the conspiracy, and joined hands with his beloved friends to defend the country.

On October 25, 2017, Nanpai Sanshu, the author of "Tomb Raiders", announced at the Youku Autumn Collection Press Conference that "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" will be adapted into a film and television version. However, the novel "Zanghai Xilin" has not been published, nor has a complete article been published on the Internet. According to the compilation of netizens, only a few relevant paragraphs have been posted on the official account of Nanpai Sanshu.

Judging from the current news revealed about the TV series "The Legend of Zanghai", the poster and the official Weibo message did not mention the third uncle of the Nanpai. However, Quantum Pan Entertainment, founded by the third uncle of the Nanpai, is still on the list of producers. This year's hit The costume drama "Long Moon Ember" is produced by this company.

On the poster of "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" released in 2017, Uncle Nanpai is the director producer and chief screenwriter.

"The Legend of the Hidden Sea" is Zheng Xiaolong's first time directing a costume drama in ten years, and it is also his third costume drama. The first two are "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Mi Yue", both of which have gained great reputation.

It is reported that Wang Zanghai is a relatively controversial figure in the pirate pen universe. In the setting of the novel, Wang Zanghai was a geomantic expert in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was generally regarded as an architect and Feng Shui expert in the Ming Dynasty. However, Wang Zanghai’s Wang family was in opposition to the Zhang family (that is, the Zhang Qiling family) in the "Old Nine Gates". He is a villain.

The Wang family officially appeared in "The Flower of the Hidden Sea" after the conclusion of "Tomb Raiders". When Wu Xie returned from Nepal, he passed by Medog, Tibet, and found his brother's portrait in the post office. Then he learned about his life experience and the existence of the Wang family in a temple in the Medog Snow Mountains (the Wang family is well-organized, Secret whereabouts). Wang Zanghai made his big debut in "Tomb Robbers' Notes: Genting Palace", a palace floating in the sky that cannot be described in words, with clouds and mist lingering below the palace. Its designer and builder was Wang Zanghai. During the construction process, he secretly entered the bronze door and saw the so-called ultimate. The novel did not reveal it clearly, but only hinted that it was related to immortality. After Wang Zanghai came out, he wanted to relay the secret of immortality. The mission of the Zhang family is to protect the secret of the Bronze Gate. Therefore, the Zhang family and Wang Zanghai launched a fierce struggle.

Looking at the plot synopsis, it is difficult to judge how different the protagonist of the series is from Wang Zanghai in the original "Tomb Raiders" series, but it can be roughly inferred that the focus of the series is on the process of Wang Zanghai becoming a strange person.

Among the film and television adaptations of the works of Sanshu from the Southern School, the ones with good reputations include:

The first season of "Restart: Tingling Thunder", directed by Pan Anzi and starring Zhu Yilong, in cooperation with Youku, scored 7.1 on Douban by more than 320,000 people.

"Sand Sea", cooperating with Tencent and starring Qin Hao and Wu Lei, was rated 6.4 on Douban by more than 120,000 people.

"Ultimate Notes", cooperating with iQiyi and starring Zeng Shunxi and Xiao Yuliang, scored 8.2 on Douban by more than 270,000 people.

In collaboration with iQiyi, "Old Nine Gates" starring William Chan and Zhang Yixing scored a 7.0 rating on Douban by more than 130,000 people.

Wang Zanghai is a figure whose "face" is always hard to see in the Pirates of Biography universe, but has always been legendary. I believe that many fans of the novel would also like to see stories about this mysterious figure.
