In the past few years, the prequel of Sword and Fairy 4, the prequel of Sword and Fairy 5 and the filing of Sword and Fairy 6 have been made public, and this IP seems to be announcing its pregnancy preparation plan to the world, announcing relevant progress from time to time.
In the Q1 quarter of this year, the concubine returned to the palace and gave birth to two children, Xianjian 4 clashed with Xianjian 6 (also known as "Praying for the Present Dynasty"), and Ju Jingyi and Yu Shuxin became part of the new generation of fairy sword heroines.
For those who have never experienced the game before, when they look closely, they can smell a kind of impending sneak attack.
Wait a minute, is it time to abuse the heroine fancy again???
As the heroine of Fairy Sword, her spirit and body are under tremendous pressure.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a masterpiece of domestic Xianxia that spans even 10 years and has a long battery life, whether it is from games to **, comics or dramas, it enjoys a high reputation in the industry.
"Sword and Fairy IV" starring Ju Jingyi and Chen Zheyuan and "Praying for the Present Dynasty" by Xu Kai and Yu Shuxin are all TV series adapted from official IP.
The flight time of Sword and Fairy (abbreviated as "Sword and Fairy") is close to 30 years, which is exactly how it survives in the highly competitive domestic game market.
The two most well-known works, "Sword and Fairy 1" and "Sword and Fairy 3", are based on the myths and legends of the "descendants of Nuwa". The core idea of this series is that "be represents the deepest emotion" and emphasizes the theme of "female abuse".
The feeling of being sadistic after death is very consistent with the painting style of ancient Xianxia dramas.
In the work "Sword and Fairy One", in addition to his attractive appearance, Li Xiaoyao is a character with no other characteristics. He first secretly ** the scene of Zhao Ling'er's fairy bathing in the mortal world, and then was pressed on the head by Ling'er's grandmother and entered the romantic night of flowers and candles. When he went down to the island, he almost forgot everything and didn't have any psychological pressure at all.
If this behavior really happens in our daily lives, then the people around us may immediately call the police. If you put it in an online game, the game will become a reality, which will make people feel very enjoyable, and even have an urge to turn themselves into reality. However, in that era, this beautiful dream deeply attracted the hearts of many players, especially Zhao Ling'er's character setting was not outdated at the end of the game:
At the beginning of the story, a girl who seems to be isolated from the world and lonely on the surface, prays for rain and mediates for the sake of family disputes, and finally turns into an eternal white moonlight 1v1 for the safety of the world and Warcraft. Whether in the game or in the series, she brought tears to the eyes of the audience.
The story background of the second female Lin Yueru is all the sacrifices made for the male protagonist.
The Lin family's family economic conditions are quite superior, Lin Yueru does not rely on Li Xiaoyao's care, and her martial arts are also quite good. She didn't even care that Li Xiaoyao was running around looking for Zhao Ling'er, but in the end, in order to rescue the two people, she was still stoned to death.
What's even more shocking is that in the work "Sword and Fairy 2", Lin Yue was miraculously resurrected and raised a child for Li Xiaoyao until she could no longer hold on.
In the game "Sword and Fairy 3", the male protagonist can enjoy the emotional welfare bonus of women in many ways:
The original form of the male protagonist Sedum is the fairy flying peng in the sky. In the story, the heroine Tang Xuejian's initial form was the goddess Xi Yao, she was thrown into reincarnation in order to accompany Feipeng who fought with Chonglou, and she put the fruits of the divine realm she cultivated into the world, which is the origin of Tang Xuejian;
The other reincarnation of the male protagonist is the crown prince Long Yang and his sister Long Kui, who threw themselves into the furnace and burned them alive in order to forge a sword with blood for him. Although the male protagonist also gives them some degree of reward, it seems to be more cost-effective compared to their efforts.
On the other hand, despite some magical changes, it still removes some of the old settings in the game.
In the game, due to the difference in the male protagonist's favorability towards Yukimi, Nightshade, Zixuan, and Jacaranda, they may have different endings. But in the drama version, the relationship between Sedum and Yukimi is completely two-way, which also means that they need to adjust accordingly according to the audience's preferences.
So, after these two classic works have ended, will the abuse of women continue in the next series of Sword and Fairy?
Really, sir? The heroine has not been completely abused?
Before the broadcast of "Fairy Sword 4" and "Pray for the Present Dynasty", there was also a "Fairy Sword 5" starring Han Dongjun and Nazha (don't ask me why Fairy Sword 5 will be broadcast earlier than Fairy Sword 4), which is also a kind of torture for the heroine.
Tang Yurou, the heroine, has been an ill-fated child since the moment she was born. The masters of Shushan used spells to extend her life for 20 years, and after these 20 years, her seal was destined to be broken.
In this version, the ending is presented very realistically, and the heroine chooses to blow herself up in order to defeat the boss
The soon-to-end TV series "Sword and Fairy IV", although it deviates from the story line of Nuwa's descendants, the heroine Han Lingsha is still in danger of her life.
The Han family has lived by robbing tombs for generations, which has caused them to lose their yin virtue, so their lifespan in the human world is always short. Han Lingsha's life was short because she broke into the cemetery of the hero's parents and was parasitized by Wangshu Sword, and the heroine became the host of this sword.
According to the plot development of the game, the heroine originally planned to go out to find a way to live forever, but due to the encounter with the male protagonist and his sword, she was constantly absorbed by the sword, and soon after, her cemetery became "the tomb of his beloved wife Lingsha".
In the Sword and Fairy series, from the first to the fifth, the heroine is always constantly teased, and in these five installments, the male protagonist is still alive and well in the final chapter of the game.
However, after the accumulation of a series of materials with the theme of female abuse, the main creative team of Sword and Fairy Games has obviously not made any significant progress.
At first, the male protagonist can almost be described as "white take" and receives favors from the female protagonist. But in the TV series "Fairy Sword 3", Sedum exchanged his yang shou for the lives of other characters, which undoubtedly provided substantial sacrifices for the male protagonist; The male protagonist is tenacious, and in the darkness in front of him, he feels the helplessness of his body and the helplessness caused by blindness. In the work "Sword and Fairy 4", although the male protagonist is still alive, his eyesight has been lost, and he sacrificed himself to save sentient beings, changing from a descendant of Nuwa to an ordinary mortal.
In the TV series "Pray for the Present Dynasty", adapted from the fairy sword 6, the combination of the heroine Yue Qi and the male protagonist Yue Jin Dynasty is not easy to be regarded as a perfect lover relationship:
The heroine is a humanoid ** extracted from the life essence of the divine beast, and can also be called the daughter of the divine beast. In human society, she is the goddess with the highest power, and at the same time, the most gentle and lovely woman, with a supreme position. Therefore, the attitude of the male protagonist towards the female protagonist can neither be described simply as pure love or friendship, nor can it be described as "the relationship between lovers above and above Yuda".
The fairy sword heroine has undergone a transformation from the original goddess, eldest lady, and demon girl, to a mortal with certain special abilities, and then to an inhuman person who can't fully understand the situation even herself. This shift is not limited to character setting, but also involves the gradual disappearance of the proposition of "whether it takes great sacrifice to build emotions".
Traditional IP is reshaping its new development path.
Starting from the first generation of Fairy Sword, the heroine has to deal with the challenge of a tram:
Whether it is giving up love, self, or protecting his career, the challenge faced by the actor on this issue is relatively small. She didn't know what she had to do or think about how to choose, but she knew it was the most important thing in life. Zhao Linger is faced with the choice between life and death, while Li Xiaoyao prefers to choose Tsinghua University or Peking University.
With the gradual increase in the number of female players in the series "Sword and Fairy", their views on the plot have become more diverse, so "how to improve the various attributes of female characters" has become the core focus of the IP.
Since the beginning of the work "Sword and Fairy IV", the main creative team has been consciously trying to achieve a balanced distribution of "sacrifices". In this process, the identity of the "hero" is diluted, but there has always been an inseparable complex in his heart - searching. The four protagonists in the story, they end up: physical disability, death, separation of life and death, and lonely old age.
The male protagonist sacrifices his visual ability in order to operate the artifact; The human adoptive father and the human adoptive daughter divorced because of affection. This is the story in "I Love My Home". The heroine was unfortunately absorbed by the cold sword and absorbed the life force, and her life was short to death; After the third woman was kidnapped, she was imprisoned in the deep mountains and old forests, becoming a lonely and lonely person. There are only two people in this world who can have these. As a demon clan, the second female has severed contact with her adoptive parents of humans and has never seen each other again; Both the hero and the heroine have cultivated into immortals and have a lifespan of up to 100 years, but unfortunately, there is no heroine in this world who loves deeply.
Not only did Li Xiaoyao lose his two wives, but he also lived to a new age, with a daughter, a career, and a growing Anu as a close friend, his fate is unique. However, he will also have regrets. If there are regrets, then just like Liu Xing shared, the number of regrets must be more, not less.
In addition, there is also a work called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Five Prequels", although it has been filed, but filming has not yet begun. In the original work, the heroine is a down-and-out art girl, while the male protagonist is a young man from a wealthy family. The end of the story is that the heroine is occupied and possessed by the villain, and the male protagonist first assassinates the heroine in order to eliminate the villain, and then in order to save her, he chooses to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Judging by the content of the poster released so far, it seems that this feature has still been preserved.
The personable young scholar goes on an adventure with an orphan girl addicted to alcohol. Although the heroine is not a fairy-like existence and does not have a prominent background, she still spends the rest of her life with the male protagonist with her firm justice and sincere feelings.
When entering the work "Praying for the Present Dynasty", the heroine is no longer an ordinary person.
She does not have a father, but is a living entity that has been carefully cultivated based on the huge creature of Kun. Her life is closely related to the social environment, and her lifestyle is also deeply influenced by the times. She is slightly deficient in emotional recognition and moral concepts compared to humans, but the male protagonist gradually develops a strong determination in her natural worldview, and twice pays the price of her life.
As the second female lead, she exudes the charm of Mulan. Since her twin brother could not travel far away, she chose to disguise herself as a ** to manage the housework, and many young girls wanted to be able to obtain her family's household register.
In the recently released game Sword and Fairy VII, the original character is no longer male, and the core perspective of the game is a female protagonist, and the main task of this female protagonist is to promote and develop the dying Jianghu sect to which she belongs.
In the "Sword and Fairy" series, the setting of the heroine did not make all men like her like Mary Sue. Even in "Sword and Fairy VII", some players criticize the heroine's career development as a little rigid, but this can also be seen as her attempt to achieve a win-win situation both emotionally and professionally.
From "a pregnant fairy being toyed with by a mortal boy" to "a handsome man of the Protoss and a mortal heroine growing the family together", the design concept of Sword and Fairy may not always be ahead of its time, but it has never stopped its continuous improvement and progress.
To some extent, "Sword and Fairy" has attracted a large number of popular online IPs, because not all creators can learn from it after being criticized. In the film and television industry, the number of creators who lack an aesthetic concept of the audience even exceeds the number of visitors waiting at Universal Studios.
Sister E's summary.
The huge success of "Sword and Fairy" paved the way for various forms of female abuse literature. Most of these works are female-themed works, but there are also stories from a male perspective, such as "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", etc. In Xianxia TV series, the blackening of heroines and supporting actresses is not uncommon, and even dark lipstick and punk-style eyeshadow are not enough to meet their blackening needs.
There are also a variety of themes of female competition, including the gods on the left and the gods on the right, and the possibility of spending a lifetime with other women for a relationship.
This kind of setting, fundamentally speaking, is a trapped love.
For women, if they want to get loyal love, they often have to pay a huge price. You must know that the original setting of "Sword and Fairy" was male - men also know very well that it is very reasonable to bind a woman to a lifetime with love and children, even if she is a descendant of Nuwa.
With the passage of time, more and more women have an emotional tendency towards sadomasochism that is close to zero.
When it really reaches maturity, there are moments that can cause blood pressure to rise sharply, such as when a lactating mother will express her milk and put it in the refrigerator, while the father forgets to close the refrigerator door; When I got home after work, I found that Lao Zheng was lying down playing the king game, and he didn't even order takeout; The husband is eating in the kitchen, but the wife is outside playing with her phone. I'm your mother! "The two-legged gold-swallowing beast needs to pay tuition fees, and my husband is whipping Huazi while proposing if he can give him a more preferential **.
At the moment when life is extremely tired, not only does it feel painful because of love, but even if it plays an abusive passerby in the play, the audience will become irritable because of it, and even privately tell the director not to continue filming if he doesn't want to.
For female audiences, they don't like excessive comparisons too much, and they won't comfort themselves because "goddesses have to beat the junior" that life is like this, they only want to put the scumbag into the ICU. Therefore, when we see all kinds of "bad movies" on the Internet, we always feel a little helpless and regretful. Even classic IPs like "Fairy Sword" understand that they need to develop in tandem with the times, and some TV series adapted from old online texts ten years ago, don't you want to save them again?
