Chapter 300: The Death of Lin Yueru

When Li Xiaoyao faced Jiang Ming, wearing the calm and composed expression of the Sword Saint and calling out that "Senior Brother," many viewers found it incredibly satisfying!

When Luo Mo performed this scene, he specifically sought advice from the veteran actor Luo Chun.

This veteran actor from the National Theatre of China has played memorable supporting roles in many dramas.

In the era when martial arts dramas were still flourishing, he played many high-level masters.

Simply put, he knows how to act out that sense of pretension.

The kind of temperament that makes the audience feel this person is extraordinary at a single glance!

Because the Sword Saint Yin Ruozhuo is not an ordinary old man, he is an enlightened one who has reached the state of Supreme Good Like Water. Therefore, when playing him, it is not enough to just act out the mannerisms of an old man.

Luo Mo practiced bitterly for three days for this scene before finally mastering the knack.

To be honest, when Hu Ge performed this scene, because he was in a stage of youthful vigor and the great life-changing event had not yet occurred, his performance was somewhat superficial; he was even so accustomed to the early-stage hooligan state that when he wore a smile, he looked somewhat frivolous.

This kind of scene where the character suddenly shifts is one of the best segments for acting duels.

When Luo Mo performed, he was also very grateful to the actor playing Jiang Ming; he was very much in the zone and fed Luo Mo lines frantically, making his own state excellent as well.

Opposing scenes sometimes really require mutual feeding.

On this point, the person who played Hong Shixian in "Temptation of Going Home" has a lot of say. Because in that drama, the person playing his wife spoke Korean on set, and the one playing the mistress spoke Cantonese on set; he couldn't understand either, so he just had to act through it.

In short, the final effect of this scene in "Sword Fairy" was very good.

I wouldn't dare say the acting was explosive, but at least it looked very compelling.

On the other side, Jiu Jianxian walked into the room looking confused, watching the Sword Saint talking to himself.

"Senior Brother, per the late master's teachings, this Junior Brother cannot enter the Lock Demon Tower and failed to pay respects to you in person; please forgive me, Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother, are you well?"

Jiang Ming, with his head full of gray-white hair, stared blankly at the person before him and said, "You still honor me as Senior Brother?"

"Of course," the Sword Saint replied without hesitation.

"You are still young, you do not understand!" Jiang Ming said.

"Understand what?" the Sword Saint asked with a smile.

"In short, I am not worthy!" Jiang Ming lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

The bullet comments surged at this moment: "The Sword Saint is almost a hundred years old and he's still young?"

"He is just a child who is almost a hundred years old."

"Please, Jiang Ming sees something different from what we see; he sees the Junior Brother from his memories!"

"Sword Saint: Laozi is a hundred years old, young my foot!"

The Drama continues at this moment.

The Sword Saint asked, "Why?"

Jiang Ming turned back, pointed at the Spirit Swords all over the ground, and said, "Look."

The background music started at this moment, with the sound of Yueqi tinkling, full of rhythm.

Many people didn't know why, but listening to this music and seeing this Sword Tomb, they suddenly got goosebumps.

Jiang Ming shuttled through the Sword Tomb; every time he passed a sword, he thought of every fellow disciple he had slaughtered.

With the long swords covering the ground, he had almost wiped out the entire Shushan sect by his own power!

Jiang Ming's eyes were wide open, nearly driven to madness.

"My sins..."

"Are deep!"

"Are deep!"

Following that was a segment that appears in many classic works—the verbal debate.

The Sword Saint relied on his words to transform Jiang Ming's obsession.

He raised both palms, and the Spirit Swords in the Sword Tomb all flew up, as if they had spirits.

Jiang Ming watched all this, his pupils trembling.

And on the other side, Jiu Jianxian looked at the Token with the two characters 【Jiang Ming】 written on it and wondered, "Why can't the incense be lit?"

They wanted to offer incense to Jiang Ming, but they couldn't.

"There is one more person who is most important and cannot forgive him," the Sword Saint said.

"Who?" Jiu Jianxian asked.

"Senior Brother himself," the Sword Saint replied.

Then, another round of verbal debate began.

From the perspective that light can only be derived from darkness, he began a bombardment.

Jiang Ming's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his obsession grew fainter and fainter.

He spread his arms and spoke a classic line of Shushan that appeared many times in the "Sword Fairy" series.

"The heavens are vast and mighty, may my Dao flourish day by day!"

He closed his eyes and laughed loudly; a beam of light shone upon him, his phantom grew fainter, but his white hair turned black, and he returned to the appearance he had when he passed away.

Jiang Ming—attained the 【Dao】!

He began to look at Li Xiaoyao and spoke a passage.

It seemed to be said to Li Xiaoyao, but in fact, it was to persuade the Sword Saint to let go and let Li Xiaoyao and the others walk their own paths.

Many people only remember the line Li Xiaoyao asked the Sword Saint in the final episode of "Sword Fairy": "Do you understand?"

But in reality, inside the Lock Demon Tower, Jiang Ming also asked it once: "Do you understand?"

It's just unclear whether he was asking Li Xiaoyao, or... the Sword Saint!?

……..

The Jiang Ming arc has passed, and episode 26 has ended; even if everyone wants to see what happens next, they will have to wait until tomorrow.

On the internet, there is another heated discussion right now, with many people feeling that this episode was very satisfying to watch.

"Is Luo Mo's acting really this good?"

"Actually, compared to true veteran actors, there is still a gap, but among the younger generation, it's almost a complete thrashing!"

"Hahahaha, after all, he is a guy who went to take remedial lessons with the big shots at the National Theatre of China."

"That's right, and having studied Opera since childhood must also be very helpful; I think his line delivery is excellent, and his original voice is very evocative, not even needing a voice actor to help dub it."

"You're telling me this is a Newcomer? Huh? Acting like this, and you call him a Newcomer?"

"No wonder the National Theatre of China was willing to let him participate in the stage play tour and give him this opportunity!"

"Actor Luo Mo, the future is promising!"

These comments made Vice President Cheng Wenle of Penguin Video bloom with joy.

The more solid Luo Mo's acting is, the more reliable their long-term cooperation will be.

As for Song Ge, he was so angry reading the comments on the internet that he wanted to vomit blood.

"I don't know what this Song Ge is acting so arrogant for; he's not as handsome as Luo Mo, not as talented as Luo Mo, and the Best Actor award he got outside is very watered down, and his acting doesn't seem better than Luo Mo's either!"

To be honest, Song Ge does have acting skills, but they were not reflected in the web drama "Lost Sin".

One reason is that the other Top Traffic young actor starring alongside him completely didn't know how to feed him lines; acting with him, Song Ge might as well have found a Body Double or performed without any real objects.

Secondly, the main purpose of this drama was actually for Pineapple to promote this Top Traffic star; it was tailor-made for him.

They invited Song Ge partly because his film performance was good and his popularity was rising, and partly because he had a Best Actor title, which could increase the prestige.

Therefore, in many places, Song Ge actually had to deliberately suppress his acting; the investors and the director would both ask him not to show off too much, otherwise our precious Top Traffic star wouldn't be able to keep up with the acting!

Don't think this is an exaggeration or a lowering of intelligence. There really are many powerful actors who, when acting against trash players, will be asked to suppress their performance, otherwise the resulting effect will be very uncomfortable, making people feel it is very unnatural.

Therefore, his performance in "Lost Sin" can only be considered at the level of an ordinary actor, with not much worth mentioning.

After episode 26 of "Sword Fairy" finished airing, the ratings on Octopus TV had already reached 1.3!

Just how terrifying is this data?

Last year, the rating record for all regional satellite TV stations was 1.59!

That was a massive hit that the whole nation chased, popular to the heavens.

And the second-highest rating last year was 1.36!

"Sword Fairy" hasn't even finished airing yet, and it's airing on a second-tier regional satellite station like Octopus TV; compared to the entire last year, its data could already rank third.

Judging from the current momentum, hitting a 1.4 rating is absolutely not a dream!

This made the head of Octopus TV, Xu Guan, feel that even though he is an old bag of bones, he is full of strength every day, with boundless energy!

So, there really are people who feel refreshed when happy events occur!

——Damn it, it feels good to the heavens!

As for Luo Mo, he opened his phone all day and found that the internet was either talking about "Superstar" and "Earth", or talking about "Sword Fairy".

A group of people are waiting eagerly for the updates of "Sword Fairy"; many viewers are very simple, each one very cute, still looking forward to Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru rescuing Zhao Ling'er in the next episode, and everyone going to fight the Moon Worshipper happily together.

"Ah! What kind-hearted viewers!" Luo Mo sighed.

"Should I stab them a few more times to let them learn a lesson?"

Starting from these few episodes, "Sword Fairy" is about to undergo many huge turning points.

First, "A Qi" Liu Jinyuan and his entire family are killed by the Moon Worshipper.

Secondly, for the safety of Anu, Tang Yu cuts his own palm and leaps down from Jiu Jianxian's Gourd, luring away the bloodthirsty crows.

Of course, the most impressive and the most regrettable part is naturally the ending of the main cast inside the Lock Demon Tower.

If this scene is broadcast, "Always Very Quiet", sung by Shen Yinuo, will surely suddenly jump to the top of the Hot Song Chart on major music platforms again.

The next day, at seven o'clock in the evening, the next two episodes of "Sword Fairy" were launched on Penguin Video.

The viewers rushed in to watch, and then felt extremely depressed!

"Stabbed like crazy! Damn it, stabbed like crazy!"

"Get the dog screenwriter out here! Who the hell is the screenwriter for this drama!"

"Damn it, even if you are handsome, I'm going to scold you for stabbing like this!"

"Speechless, I want to cry now whenever I hear 'Always Very Quiet'."

"I beg you, act like a human!"

"Luo Mo, you really are a peerless Blade Immortal!"

After episode 28 finished airing, Luo Mo was scolded onto the Hot Search by netizens.

Yes, this time, he was really scolded onto the Hot Search!

This shows how strong the immersion of the viewers is when watching "Sword Fairy", and how much they like the characters inside.

After watching these two episodes, many viewers felt terrible, and they wouldn't feel relieved without scolding Luo Mo a few times!

This part of the plot tells of...

——The death of Lin Yueru!
