The flowers withered, and the beauty of Xianxia passed away, like a short-lived dream. Those Xianxia dramas that were once all the rage now seem to have been reduced to the past tense, and the scenery is no longer there. Looking back, I think of 2005, when "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was first broadcast, it was an intoxicating Xianxia masterpiece that aroused my fanatical pursuit of Xianxia.
However, time flies, and today's Xianxia dramas seem to have lost their original charm. IP adaptations such as "Qi Jinchao" and "Sword and Fairy IV" have a poor reputation, and there are few Douban scores, as if it was a lost feast. The audience was once immersed in the wonderful world of Xianxia, but now they are far away from it.
Perhaps, the crux of the problem lies in the gradual dissipation of the core of Xianxia dramas. In the classic works of the past, the protagonists were often small people, and through unremitting efforts and thinking about choices, they grew into a generation of heroes. And now, the "gods" who were born noble dominate the stage and are above all living beings. This makes the characters lose their complexity, and the "chivalrous" spirit of the core is gradually diluted and becomes an illusory part of the plot chain.
Once, Xianxia dramas provided a novel world structure for the story through "immortals", creating otherworldly fairies and quirky and multi-faceted monsters, making Xianxia dramas full of romanticism. However, this romance gradually dissipated, the storyline of Xianxia dramas became more and more homogeneous, romance dramas were common, and the audience was tired of routines such as "matching literature".
Perhaps, we need to return to the original intention of Xianxia drama and re-find the essence of "chivalry". In this surreal world, we can create richer and deeper characters, so that they can embody individual cognition and philosophical speculation when facing choices. To be born a god should not mean to be above all beings, but to embody a more human, complex side.
Perhaps, we need to break the traditional romance routine and present a more innovative and vivid storyline to the audience. Get rid of the shackles of "matching literature", so that love is no longer bound by inherent constraints, and make the emotional choices of the characters more real and free. Perhaps, in such innovation, Xianxia dramas can regain their lost glory and re-lead the audience into the mysterious and wonderful world of Xianxia.
Looking forward to the future, although Xianxia dramas are at a low ebb, perhaps it is at this time that we can re-examine this theme and find a new breakthrough. Let the Xianxia drama rejuvenate and attract the audience to return and re-immerse themselves in that intoxicating world of Xianxia. Life is like a flower, although it has withered, there is still a bright spring waiting for us.
Thank you for the content of the article. At your request, I rewrote the central idea of the article into 8 rhyming verses:
Flowers, the Spring Festival is coming, the fairy sword love, the audience's heart. Qi Jinchao, the fourth fairy sword, has a low reputation and a slight rating. Hua Qiangu, before the Spring Festival, starring Nu, the box office declined. Xianxia drama, when it rises, fairies and demons, creative style. Fairy Sword One, the pinnacle is now, a small person, a hero. Sacrifice of life, deep emotion, complex interior, chivalrous truth. In recent years, the gods have descended, complex and lost, and the plot is fantastic. sadomasochistic romance, with Ping Sheng, audience trial, aesthetic doubt.
Hopefully, such poems will meet your needs. Please let me know if there are other requirements or modifications.
