With the launch of "Four of Sword" and "Pray for the Present" (i.e. "Four of Sword"), the audience is not only nostalgic, but also traumatized. "Four of Sword" first staged a competing story, and the reputation outside the show far exceeded the quality of the show, and it was controversial after it was aired. "Prayer for the Present" has "Four of Sword" leading the charge, but it also received a lot of firepower. . It can be seen that "Xian 4" and "Xian 6" have great ambitions from their own projects to casting, filming, production, and publicity. They want to retain game fans and party members, but also want to attract new audiences. As a result, No one paid for it, and they were questioned for "ruining classics" and "being irrelevant."
It has been 19 and 15 years since "Fairy Sword: One" and "Fairy Sword: Third" respectively. Both dramas have become classics with their careful production and touching narrative. This year's two films have similar problems: in terms of hardware, some are too perfunctory and even appear to be obviously out of place, some of the costumes are too "plastic", and some of the special effects are rough and far from "fairy". ; From the perspective of the plot, some plots have been magically changed, some classic plots have been disappeared, and some values are too backward, leaving many fans at a loss. As for the actors, they either don't fit the role setting, or their performances are stiff or exaggerated, and the characterization is superficial and fails to add points to the drama. Due to the accumulation of various factors, the reputation of the Fairy Sword IP drama has declined.
The reason why the previous game is a classic, in addition to the characters that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, is that it also captures the "soul" of the game - the chivalrous spirit of serving the people of the world. This is also the core of the "Fairy Sword" IP series. Nowadays, the industry format has long changed, and that chivalrous spirit has gradually faded away. When a fairy tale drama abandons the "xia" and the "soul" of IP, and turns into a pure ancient puppet drama, how can it make the audience moved and empathize again?
The failure of a drama or the failure of an IP is never a problem of a single actor. The reality behind this is worth pondering: Don’t let suspended creation blur the core of emotion, don’t let gossip become a shortcut to get out of the industry, This is something all creators should be wary of.
