Since the launch of " and Fengxing ", various controversies have continued. Some are talking about the age of the actors, some are talking about special effects editing, and some are talking about rhythm and logic, but the loudest voice is still about Shen Li's character design.
Some people say that Shen Li's "Phoenix God" and "Human" persona are separated. When he was a Phoenix, he was so talkative, bisexual, and arrogant, but when he was a prince, he was so cold and cold. These are clearly two people. It's funny for the sake of being funny, with no regard for the life or death of the characters.
Some people say that the relationship between Shen Li and Xingyun cannot withstand scrutiny, and they fell in love out of nowhere, without any foreshadowing or basis.
Frankly speaking, Shen Li's character is more distinct in the original work. Some plots were deleted in the drama version, but it is definitely not to the point of being separated.
The relationship between Shen Li and Xingyun also deepens due to the change of identity. "Identity" seems to be an emotional shackles between Shen Li and Xingyun, but in fact it is a catalyst in their emotions.
1. "Cackle" - Phoenix body
Shen Li was seriously injured by Mo Fang, and was knocked back to her original shape when she fell into the world. After the butcher picked her up, he plucked out all its golden feathers.
Shen Li was in the most embarrassing situation when she was bought back by Xingyun. At that time, she didn’t know that Xingyun could understand her, so all her conversations were mostly in the form of self-pleasure, including her comments in front of Xingyun. He also introduced himself in a very "stinky" way.
After that, she felt complacent because of Xingyun's short life, feeling that no one would know her embarrassing and embarrassing appearance after Xingyun's death.
It was that time when Shen Li complained that Xingyun could understand her. From then on, she restrained herself and even began to avoid using her own name to prevent Xingyun from knowing her true identity.
"I, the king" came to her lips many times, and she even changed it to "I, my girl" because she was worried that Xingyun was really an unlucky disciple of some immortal king in heaven.
She was afraid that after the Xingyun Tribulation was over, she would return to the heaven and spread the shameful things she encountered in the human world, which would hurt her face.
2. "Shen Li" - human body
Xingyun untied the seal of the courtyard in order to deal with Gu Chengrui. Shen Li absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and regained his human body again. After returning to human body this time, Shen Li was obviously not as good as before. At ease, at ease.
She began to speak harshly, began to be at a loss, and began to cover up deliberately.
When she found out that Xingyun had lied to her, she was extremely angry and looked like she would not give up until she settled the score with him. Her eyes changed when Xingyun mentioned meat.
But she still acted out the scene. Xingyun also knew her temperament, so he deliberately behaved badly in front of her, hoping to keep her. As expected, she came back after a while.
She secretly looked at Xingyun's handbook of Ye Zi and felt sad for Xing Yun's life experience and experiences, but she refused to admit it and stubbornly said that she was just sending Ye Ye away. As a result, she felt guilty and almost sprained her ankle as soon as she left the house.
In the original work, there is such a detail. It was not long after Shen Li returned to human form. She got angry and wanted to sit on the ground. But when she poked her buttocks, she realized that she was no longer a phoenix, so she had to stand up stiffly again. rise.
It can be seen that Shen Li became a human being not because her personality changed, nor because her personality was separated, but because she was able to pretend, cover up, and speak harshly. Her change was just because her behavior and identity did not allow it.
3. "Prince" - King Bicang
From Gada to Shen Li and then to Prince, it has become more than just a title, it also has responsibilities and obligations.
"Phoenix body" to Shen Li means freedom, unrestraint, and self-release. "Phoenix body" to Shen Li means restraint, rules, and no longer being casual; "Prince" means to Shen Li Responsibility, responsibility.
Shen Li can not marry Furong Jun, but King Bi Cang cannot. The attitude of King Bi Cang represents not only Shen Li himself, but also the face and attitude of the spiritual world.
As long as she returns to the spirit world, Shen Li is not just Shen Li, she is also King Bi Cang, the soul of the spirit world army, the object of their reverence, and their spiritual leader.
At this point in the story, I seem to understand that Shen Li will fall in love with Xingyun, the sick man. Although Xingyun is not good at anything and is not good at everything, he gives Shen Li a chance to be himself.
In Xingyun's place, Shen Li may not be King Bi Cang, he may not be Shen Li, or he may even be just Gu Da. No matter who he is, he will protect her behind him and does not need her to stand in front of him. He will also accompany her. A life she had never dared to imagine.
Shen Li actually liked the life in the human world with Xingyun. It was quiet, comfortable, leisurely and healing. She wanted to stay like this with him forever, and even began to imagine that if she didn't have a marriage contract, could she stay with Xingyun in someone else's house all the time? lifetime.
But she can't. She is not only Guda, but also Shen Li, and the Bi Cang King of the spiritual world.
Conclusion
When she was in the human world, Shen Li was the King of Bicang and could not fall in love with Xingyun honestly. When she returned to the fairy world, Xingzhi was the only god in ancient times. They were restrained by the laws of heaven, but they still couldn't fall in love honestly. The two of them Human love has always been bound by status.
But this feeling will become more wanton under such restraint and suppression. Shen Li is the person Xingyun has been thinking about for thirty years in the lower world. Until his death, he always missed Shen Li. OK? Such feelings cannot be suppressed by suppressing them.
Their mutual identities seem to be an emotional shackles between Shen Li and Xingyun, but in fact they are a catalyst in their relationship.
