on Tencent Video quickly exceeded 29,000 in popularity after its launch. After a year, the ratings myth created by the first season of "Sauvignon Blanc" seems to be coming back.
The play tells the story of a time when humans, gods, and demons coexisted in the wild world, and Chenrong, Xiyan, and Haoling stood in opposition to one another. Ji Jiu Yao (Xiao Yao), the king of Hao Ling who lives in the wilderness, has gone through hundreds of years of hardship and has protected herself in the human world as Wen Xiaoliu, a wandering doctor. Wen Xiaoliu accidentally saved Tu Shanjing, the dying young master of Qingqiu, and became acquainted with the nine-headed demon Xiang Liu Buda. After meeting his cousin Hao Ling Xingxuan, he finally regained his identity as a princess. The second season relies on the relationship between the characters in the first season and tells the story of Xiaoyao's life choices after regaining her identity. After crisis and multiple choices, Xiaoyao finally made a choice that was in line with her own will. The second season of
was not filmed and produced after the end of the first season. The dramas were all completed as early as last year. Therefore, the opening of the second season took nearly ten minutes to provide a brief summary, allowing the audience to relive the sadistic plot of the first season and quickly establish their understanding of the relationship between the characters in the second season. The script is based on the original novel. Screenwriter Tong Hua is both the original author and the core creative staff of Fang Xinglian Film and Television, which ensures that the two seasons of "Sauvignon Blanc" are almost strictly adapted according to the concept of the original work.
When the first season of the drama was aired, its popularity on Tencent reached 33,144, setting a record for Tencent Video’s 2023 drama series. Some commentators believe that the reason why the show ranked first in the traffic of costume dramas last year is mainly due to the author Tong Hua and his team's complete reproduction of the spirit of the original work. In the play, although the heroine Xiaoyao is a royal concubine, she is often at the mercy of fate. She is repeatedly entangled in different emotional ways, breaking the past model of a great heroine and getting rid of the routine expressions of costume dramas. The story of the second season of
almost all revolves around Xiaoyao's life after she regains her identity and becomes Wang Ji. Although some harem battles and the battles between the Xiyan royal family are added, the theme still focuses on Xiaoyao's emotional choices. After watching the eight-episode story, the problem Xiaoyao needs to face is how to choose her right husband. However, being coerced by her identity and current situation, she has to make a choice that goes against her will.
The story is based on delicate character descriptions, and it also accurately expresses the mutual pull in emotional choices. The actors' performances pay attention to details, so the overall completion level is very high. In the first season, Xiaoyao was repeatedly entangled between Tu Shanjing, Xuanxuan and Xiang Liu, making multiple emotional lines a hot topic of discussion for the audience. In the second season, the intensity will be intensified. Xiaoyao was going to marry Tu Shanjing, but was accidentally framed; Xiangliu transformed into Fangfengbei, but could never stay with Xiaoyao because of his position; The woman I like. Wang Ji Xiaoyao, who seemed to be loved by thousands of people, was unable to love her and was abused everywhere.
This kind of multi-line parallel expression allows multiple romances to happen at the same time or one after another, and each relationship has its own reasonableness. This provides the audience with an immersive experience. The audience can choose the love line and "eat sugar" at will. . Xiaoyao in the second season is not as free as Wen Xiaoliu in the mountains and fields. She is trapped between identities and has difficulty making decisions. The heroine does not follow the "shuangwen" route, but every step is a trap. This kind of story line of the heroine being "beautiful, strong and miserable" brings a different experience to the audience. "Looking for candy in the glass ball" has become a way to attract the audience.
