In this vast sky and long road, people are constantly surging in the vast sea of people.
When the song "Turn" sounds, you will definitely think of that Jianghu character - Xiao Shiyilang's freedom and uninhibitedness, Shen Bijun's infatuation, and Lian Chengbi's insidious cunning. It must be admitted that Gu Long is really talented in describing the rivers and lakes, and he can't extricate himself from it, and these eight words perfectly reflect the core idea of "Xiao Shiyi Lang".
Although the plot of this play is very different from the original book, it does incorporate the deep meaning of the rivers and lakes. This drama has won the love and recognition of the audience in less than a year from filming to broadcasting. As the first remake of the martial arts drama in the Zhou Yi film and television series, its influence is definitely not inferior to the follow-up "Water Moon Cave".
On June 10, 2002, "Xiao Shiyi Lang" made its debut in Chinese mainland, and quickly climbed to the top of the ratings after broadcasting, and won the highest rating of the year, ** praised it as "a martial arts TV series comparable to Hong Kong and Taiwan".
However, after so many years, there is a view that this drama is actually a drama about childhood, Shen Bijun is undoubtedly a green character, Xiao Shiyi Lang is more like a third party who destroys other people's marriages, and Lian Chengbi has become the most distressing character in the whole play. In this world, everything has the potential to be a laughing stock, and everything can be a laughing stock. It seems to justify the villain, which is a common plot in ancient TV dramas.
However, this is actually from the perspective of a villain, Lian Chengbi's self-destruction cannot be blamed on anyone else, he has changed from a handsome Lian family son to a crazy behind-the-scenes boss, this path of no turning back is his own choice.
1. Character shapes the direction of fate, and there is a significant difference between Lian Chengbi and Xiao Shiyi Lang.
In short, martial arts is like a fairy tale for adults, it shows us the complexity of human nature, and at the same time, it also brings the protagonist a light that has never been seen in life before, which fascinates us.
Xiao Shiyi Lang is the only protagonist in the play, he looks like a Jiangyang thief who shocks the rivers and lakes, but in fact he is a kind-hearted young man.
He was born in a world of rivers and lakes, with a different freedom and casualness from the famous and decent family, although he seems frivolous on the surface, he is actually a very warm and kind person. He's a good man, but there's something hard to accept. As the saying goes, the reason why Xiao Shiyi Lang fell in love with Shen Bijun was because of his appearance, but even Chengbi was no exception?
The emotions that start here couldn't be more normal.
Compared with Shen Bijun's stunning beauty, Xiao Shiyi Lang obviously has deeper feelings for her. When they first met, he asked softly, "You know so little about him, why did you choose to marry him if you didn't love him?" "I'm a girl who likes freedom, adventure and excitement, so I go after a man because I feel like I'm a natural woman, so I'm going to bring this man home. ”。
In fact, the reason why Shen Bijun married Lianchengbi was completely out of consideration for the family, and there was no deep affection between the two, which made her start to think about the autonomy of marriage and gradually awaken her personal consciousness.
Shen Bijun believes that although she may not be willing to get married, she must marry Lianjiabao. Therefore, she chooses to compromise with fate and become a good wife who follows the rules.
In order to find out Lian Chengbi's true emotions, Xiao Shiyi Lang created a big commotion at the wedding, and he deliberately put pressure on Shen Bijun, hoping to understand Lian Chengbi's true reaction.
At this time, Lian Chengbi's feelings for Shen Bijun were not sincere, he behaved very calmly and cautiously in front of everyone, showing his deep concern for his wife. Although he took a slap for Bijun, the poplars and green willows around him understood that all this was disguised in Lianchengbi.
Lianchengbi, as the legal successor of Lian Castle, has been well aware of his responsibilities since he was a child. Under the influence of his family, he showed a temperament of humility, politeness and gentleness, while at the same time he was very sensitive, thoughtful and strategic at heart.
Some netizens once said frankly that Lian Chengbi's deep affection for Shen Bijun is not inferior to Xiao Shiyilang, he is actually the person who loves him the most, from the initial suspicion to the later resentment, he himself gradually pushed the person he loved to Xiao Shiyilang.
Perhaps this marriage itself has a worldly atmosphere, so Lianchengbi has never trusted his wife. Xiaoyao Hou secretly attacked in the middle of the night, he didn't know anything about the truth of the matter, and mistakenly thought that Shen Bijun had hidden Xiao Shiyi Lang in the room. However, he rushed forward without hesitation and completely shattered Bijun's true feelings with a slap. At the moment of crisis, he chooses to pursue the Marquis rather than stay to protect his wife.
On the other hand, Xiao Shiyilang, he waited silently in front of Shen Bijun's window all night, is it love or not? Love or hate? Is it sincere or disguised? How will his heart change? It can be understood from this moment on.
In other words, Lian Chengbi has a deep affection for Shen Bijun, and he appreciates the woman's gentleness and firmness, but he believes that she has not yet reached the level of true love. In his opinion, Shen Bijun is the perfect wife in his mind, which fully meets a man's expectations of his other half.
Only when Shen Bijun truly understood his heart did Lian Chengbi become crazy as if he had lost a precious treasure. It is not so much a hatred born of love as it is the jealousy of a secular man. Since then, his various actions have further proved that he is actually a hypocrite.
He speculated with deep malice, believing his sister's well-intentioned persuasion as a threat. He waited for her arrival in the darkest place. There was a power in his body that allowed him to come out of the night and see the light. When Lian Cheng Jin was pushed off the cliff by Lian Cheng Bi, he was completely plunged into darkness.
As Shen Bijun once said: "Your love for yourself stems from the fact that I am your only loser, which is why you are so persistent." In this moment, he chose death. Lian Chengbi's life is full of tragedy, he has never had in-depth communication with others, his heart seems to be isolated by a besieged city, the outside world cannot enter, he longs for warmth, but also deeply enjoys solitude, forming a group full of contradictions.
In the final episode, Lian Chengbi is defeated and he falls to the ground, his eyes full of remorse, resentment, unwillingness, and helplessness. Even though he is now a compassionate man, his misfortune is also of his own making. The audience could only say with emotion: "If Lian Chengbi was really so sincere at that time, then his ending may not be like this."
The most significant difference between Xiao Shiyi Lang and him is his sincerity, in the face of Feng Siniang's warm attitude, he also shows deep concern while joking; For Shen Bijun, whom he loved deeply, he gave wholeheartedly, and was even willing to sacrifice his life.
Xiao Shiyilang's most fascinating trait is his high idealization of love, his attitude towards love is tight-lipped, he does not care about the other party's return date, and does not delve into the origin of love.
