As the global "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" continues to be popular, the viewership population is still rising. When episodes 15 and 16 were broadcast, the highest viewership rate in North America had exceeded the 20 million population mark, and the average viewership population also reached an unprecedented 18.27 million, completely leaving competitors who watched the same period behind.

As time goes by, ibox's sales finally began to decline, and the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" began to stay at this value. The craze that was popular all over the world began to cool down gradually, and gradually became a normal situation from a social explosion. The audience seemed to have begun to get used to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" becoming a part of their lives.

From "Iron Blood and Danxin" to "East Evil and Western Poison" to "Sword Controversy of Huashan", whether it is Huang Rong, Guo Jing, or later East Evil and Western Poison, the Southern Emperor and North Beggar, they have become familiar figures among the American audience. In Los Angeles, even many primary school children can be recited with their own names. For these children and young people, Hong Qigong is as friendly as the white-haired principal of Hogwarts, Peach Blossom Island is as gorgeous and mysterious as the Castle of Rivendale standing in "The Lord of the Rings", and the evil master of the Western Poison Ouyang Feng is as scary as the terrifying Captain David Jones on the "Flying Dutchman".

However, these characters are different from those Western fantasy stories or the nobles of the Middle Ages. All of them exudes another restrained and elegant style. Their pursuit does not seem to be a clichéd power struggle such as "destroying the world" and "dominating the world". They usually have money like dirt and don't care about high-ranking officials and generous titles. The ultimate goal of these martial arts people is to seek "Tao" by martial arts. Even the most terrifying Ouyang Feng has become the "first martial artist in the world" and pursued it for his life.

If justice and evil are both struggles between conquerors and guardians in Western magical stories, then this Eastern story shows a completely different value, and their pursuit seems to be one thing, that is, the "way" of life. What is the supreme way of warriors? Do they regard the precepts of the weak as the strong as the precepts, and those who do not punish themselves, those who do not punish themselves, or those who do good deeds the gods of the world as their responsibility as their commandments.

On the surface, this is a battle of martial arts, but in fact it is a battle of ideas.

When the story goes to Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Yang Kang as the protagonists, many American audiences have a huge question in their minds. How can a fool like Guo Jing become the protagonist and take the lead? This character similar to Forrest Gump seems to have no athletic talent and good luck like Forrest Gump. Although he is diligent and hardworking, he actually kills one of his masters stupidly...

What is most unbearable is that this idiot protagonist also has a strong racial discrimination view and actually pursues "Han chauvinism" and calls for many Jin people who have never met...

In contrast, Yang Kang seems to be more in line with the values ​​of Americans. He is smart, handsome, motivated, very dedicated to the women he likes, and works very hard for the success of his life. In the dilemma of narrow racial discrimination and liberal family affection, he chose the latter, and his judgment of personal interests first is also very in line with the Western values ​​of individuals who have the right to strive for a better life. This Yang Kang is simply a model of the free American spirit~~!

After these two characters with great personality contrast became the main plot, the New York Times conducted a poll on this. As a result, 82.9% of the audience believed that among Yang Kang and Guo Jing, Yang Kang was the one who was really popular. The stupid and stupid Guo Jing was not interested, and only 8.4% of the audience expressed their love for him.

At this time, the argument between the two roles of Guo Jing and Yang Kang was also placed by many American audiences at the height of the character contrast between the people of "China and the United States". In the minds of Americans, the diligent but somewhat stubborn Chinese are like Guo Jing with limited talent, while Yang Kang, who is smart and has free values, is very similar to a smart American.

ABC's famous social critic Cork Till even mocked Chinese audiences who like Guo Jing on TV: "It's not surprising at all. In this barbaric and authoritarian country, Guo Jing, who is stupid, loyal and obedient, is certainly a model praised by the government of this country, because this is completely the easiest citizen to manipulate by the autocratic regime, and Yang Kang is a young man worthy of respect. He is like an American living in China's terror dictatorship. He tries to break free from those old ideas~~ realize his life ambitions~~"

This view has triggered heated discussions among Chinese and American netizens, but the cultural backgrounds of the two sides are huge. In various forums, all wars of words are in a situation where "no one can convince anyone". Who among Yang Kang and Guo Jing is the better "person" who should have a form of value?

Gradually, the victory or defeat of the two characters Yang Kang and Guo Jing seems to have become a battle of dignity for audiences in China and the United States...

In response to this, countless media have come to interview Li Xiaole, hoping that he will reveal the plot. You should know that even if the movie Li Xiaole takes over has the original story, it will make corresponding changes, and no one can predict the trend of this story.

Li Xiaole's response was also very simple, that was, shut up and express his opinion without saying anything, and continued to shoot his scene.

His reaction confused many people, and even Ha Ji-won asked him strangely: "Li Xiaole, aren't you just trying to make Americans understand the real heroes in Chinese traditional culture? Why don't you say it when it's time for you to speak... I think those Americans can't understand the stupid Guo Jing..."

"No matter how much I say, it's useless. If a few words can be made clear, then what should we director do if we shoot the story?" Li Xiaole smiled and shook his head, "Let the story itself present what a hero is."

Li Xiaole's silence also inspired the debate more and more. As the plot deepened, people began to discover that Yang Kang, who represented the expectations of the Americans, his biggest enemy in his life was not Guo Jing, but the rules. He was challenging the traditional and pedantic "Confucian" rules and regulations of China.

In order to learn martial arts well, Yang Kang took the initiative to worship Mei Chaofeng, the evil sect, and was a disciple of Ouyang Feng. Although he was obviously a child of an enemy, he made his adoptive father, Wanyan Honglie, the prince of Jin, regard him as his own, hoping that he would inherit his throne.

He even took advantage of the most just gang organization in the play to organize internal conflicts of the Beggars' Gang, taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the situation to become the leader of the Beggars' Gang, almost completely subverting this "No. 1 Gang in the World".

Yang Kang believed from beginning to end that as long as Confucian rules are gone, everyone is just chasing their own interests, which is the face of this society. The so-called rules are just props used by hypocrites to package themselves with intention...

Yang Kang's cleverness is that he fought for the masses to relied on his own strength to inspire the selfish desires in the hearts of the masses. He liberated all the rules and put everyone in a chaotic environment for people to choose for themselves.

Under social rules, who is not hypocritical? Yes, in order to protect ourselves, we consciously abide by the rules, but now the rules cannot protect me, and those moral rules immediately collapsed. Yang Kang can be said to have completely seen through human nature.

Yang Kang followed this seemingly Western success path and used various means to manipulate human interests to strengthen his power without fail. He fooled his master and provoked his relationship with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. He used the identity of the little prince of Jin to recruit Ouyang Ke and other masters, and then further manipulated the Western Poison Ouyang Feng to serve him. Then he joined forces with the Iron Palm Gang leader Qiu Qianren to successfully become the leader of the Beggar Gang.

It can be said that he has always been a winner who is proficient in using Western success studies without any disadvantages. Qiu Chuji, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, Mei Chaofeng, his parents, adoptive fathers Wanyan Honglie, and Ouyang Feng, all of them were played with by him.

But it was Guo Jing, who was so stupid that he was extremely frustrated, who was Guo Jing, who was originally despised by everyone, who gradually gained the trust of his master, regarded him as a beast and wanted to kill him quickly, and even used Huang Rong to restrain Mei Chaofeng. Even his father wanted to marry his lover Mu Nianci to him...

Such a useless idiot who is just stupid and stupid to believe in the so-called "traditional rules" has gained the upper hand everywhere in comparison with him, Yang Kang, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

More importantly, Guo Jing didn't understand his thoughts at all. He had always thought that he was just blinded by Wanyan Honglie, and was obsessed with interests for a while. This bastard completely underestimated himself and did not understand him at all! Why did he insist on serving Song? He did not receive any favors from this country at all. He was a Jin man! He was fighting for himself and for his own country, and there was nothing shameful at all!?

But Guo Jing was still saying, "Yang Kang, how could you be so ruthless and recognize the thief as your father?" How did Yang Kang answer? He said, "What qualifications do you have to say that you are no different from me? For Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, you are like me, you are a puppet. They use you now to fulfill their long-cherished wishes, and for their so-called national hatred and family hatred, they decide our lives. They let us fight each other just to fight for their hearts, and they force me to kill my father, just because they fulfill their so-called chivalrousness. What kind of chivalrousness is this? Let me tell you, their full benevolence, righteousness and morality are all just to manipulate you. What is the difference between them and those Jin people who kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
