Although many people say that "Knife In the Snow" is not good, not loyal to the original book, said a lot of negative comments. The rating also dropped from above the initial passing line to 5.7 points, but I just like to watch.
As a person who did not read the original book, "The Knife Line in the Snow" is still good overall.
An overhead fantasy novel, in just a few dozen episodes of the TV series, can tell a complete story, and has the right to plot, there is emotion, there is national righteousness, but there is no dog blood, it is already very rare.
Like this drama, mainly like the plot in the play. Between the father and son of the Xu family, between the Starling King and the Liyang royal family, and between the temple and the jianghu, the contradictions and conflicts between these three parts are attractive enough.
01, father and son fighting wisdom, ginger is still old spicy
I like Xu Fengnian because of his free personality. The lofty Shizi can become friends with Mafu Lao Huang and be determined to learn martial arts for Lao Huang. In fact, Xu Fengnian did not want to learn martial arts, but he knew that the Northern Starling Shizi, both literary and martial, would become a thorn in the eyes of too many people.
He and the veteran Xu Yongguan can also talk together. He is Xu Xiaozi in the heart of Old Man Xu, and he does not need to know the name, just because of his fate.
I like Xu Fengnian because of his clumsiness. He never showed his excellence, although many people said that he was a good seedling for learning martial arts.
He deliberately unleashed a reputation of debauchery, coveting beauty, and committing adultery and evil in order to hide his eyes and ears. Xu Fengnian was smart enough, just like he said: pretending to be stupid is long.
No matter what Xu Fengnian calculated in his heart, he still could not escape the big net woven by the old fox Xu Xiao. He was arranged by Xu Xiao to go out on a budget tour for three years, and then went to Wudang to get the Rhubarb Court, and then began to break into the rivers and lakes for the second time.
Xu Xiao once rode 600 iron to break into the world, pacify the kingdoms, and let the Yang Dynasty unify the world. Now that the people are stable and the world is at peace, Xu Xiao also has 350,000 iron horses.
Stepping on Qingcheng Mountain and stepping on Qingzhou were just xu Xiao's orders. Such military prestige also made the Liyang royal family jealous. Therefore, the successor of the North Starling has become a key point.
Whether Xu Fengnian could take over the North Starling and continue to stabilize the world became Xu Xiao's calculation.
Xu Fengnian traveled for three years in order to avoid the marriage of the Imperial Family of Liyang. The second time he broke into the rivers and lakes, he cooperated with Xu Xiao to take the hereditary succession and succeeded to the Northern Starling King.
In this process, no matter how Xu Fengnian made trouble, in the end, Xu Xiao gave him a support.
Xu Fengnian met many people along the way, there were good people and bad people, but these people had already been calculated by Xu Xiao.
Xu Fengnian has always wanted to jump out of the path that Xu Xiao gave him and insist on taking a different path, but in the known plot, he has never jumped out of the palm of Xu Xiao's hand.
To say ginger is still old spicy.
02. The monarch and the subject fight for power, and the one who has the world in mind wins
In addition to watching the fighting wisdom between the father and son of the Xu family, there is also the secret contest between the father and son of the Xu family and the Royal Family of Liyang.
If Xu Xiao wanted to continue this stable and prosperous life for the sake of the world, he must hand over the throne to the meticulous Xu Fengnian. But more people want to disintegrate the North Starling and openly support Xu Longxiang, who has a simple mind but is born with divine power.
Because they knew that the iron-walled Northern Starling Army could only disintegrate from within.
Xu Xiao's support for Xu Fengnian and the Liyang imperial family's support for Xu Longxiang became an irreconcilable contradiction between the monarchs and courtiers.
The Yuanyang Imperial Family naturally wanted to find a person to manipulate well, and at first it was not optimistic about Xu Fengnian.
When Xu Fengnian and Princess Liyang met in Wudang, Xu Fengnian gave himself the impression of being reckless and rude and without a city government.
Princess Liyang concluded: Xu Fengnian was not afraid.
Subsequently, Xu Fengnian traveled for the second time and deliberately misbehaved with Princess Jing in Qingzhou, and then spread the reputation of frivolity and disrespect.
Step by step, Xu Fengnian set up his own misbehaving and non-threatening personality, so that the Liyang Royal Family finally believed that even if Xu Fengnian became the King of the Northern Starlings, he would not be afraid.
In fact, in the hearts of the Xu family's father and son, the reason why the position of the King of the Northern Starlings is important is because it determines the stability of the world, if the Northern Starlings fall, the crowd rises, and the days that are difficult to settle down will be ruined, and it is the common people who suffer.
The Yang Imperial Family, on the other hand, was only to consolidate its position of power.
Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who have the hearts of the world must be what everyone wants.
Because I have not read the original work, I do not know the follow-up of Xu Fengnian, but will Xu Fengnian step on the Yang Royal Family and change the dynasty in the future? I'm looking forward to the follow-up.
03, temples and rivers and lakes, the righteous are invincible
"The Sword In the Snow" is also a martial arts novel, whether it is the many women around Xu Fengnian or his experience in learning martial arts, all have the elements of martial arts novels. The jianghu characters in the play, the sword god Li Chungang, the Wudi City Wang Xianzhi, the sword Jiuhuang, the Wudang Wang Chonglou, the tianxia eleven, etc., all appear masters. Flying away, the internal force hurts people are small meaning.
People in the jianghu also took sides, some people were used by Xu Xiao to protect Shizi, such as Li Chungang and Shu Shy; some people were fighting for imperial power, such as Zhao Kai's fu general Hongjia and the eleventh king of the world, Mingyin; some people paid attention to love and righteousness, and were used by Xu Fengnian, such as the sword Jiu Huang.
Among so many jianghu people, only Xu Xiao's side was the one with the highest martial arts. However, the sword god could be used by Xu Xiao, and what secrets were hidden behind this, which had to be uncovered one by one.
In the end, those who must be on their own will eventually be defeated, and those who are for the big picture will win.
Looking forward to the rebirth of Xu Fengnian Nirvana.
In the end, Xu Fengnian will embark on Xu Xiao's old road, or go out of his own way, or a little looking forward to it.
