Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 18 Encounter
The plot progresses.

The black-haired assassin is naturally Kenshin, the grown-up fifteen-year-old Kenshin.

He is now an assassin for a certain force, beheading corrupt officials who attempt to exploit the people and conduct dirty political deals in the ancient Kyoto of Sakura Island.

When Su Yan was creating the Xia country version of Kenshin, he did not use the bloody red hair of the original Kenshin. After all, that might be normal in anime, but it is too childish in a live-action drama.

The following plot is a flashback.

How Kenshin and his master Hiko Seijuro parted ways due to a conflict of philosophies.

The conversation between the master and the apprentice at the waterfall and the stream is also full of artistic sense.

"The sword is a murder weapon."

"Swordsmanship is the art of killing. No matter how beautiful the words are, it cannot change this fact."

"Even so, I will use this power to save those suffering people. Even if it's just one person, I will protect a life with my own hands."

"In spring, watch the night cherry blossoms; in summer, look at the stars; in autumn, admire the full moon; in winter, enjoy the light snow. With these, the wine will naturally be delicious. If you still feel it is not enough, it is probably because you are sick. One day you will understand the taste of wine, and then, let's drink together again."

The nearly ten-minute story about Kenshin Himura, Seijuro Biko, and the portrayal of various forces in Kyoto, as well as the choice of words and sentences from time to time, often made Chu Yumeng and the audience pause for a long time to think.

Awesome
When Chu Yumeng saw this, she couldn't find any fault at all.

The script's portrayal of the chaotic times and its epic feel were so strong that she even felt angry for the people who were bullied by thieves, corrupt officials, and bullies in that world.

Delighted at the dirty act of assassination carried out by Kenshin.

The flashback scene ends.

The thin knife wound on Kenshin's cheek caused by Kiyori has never healed, and the wound always bleeds on full-moon nights.

"I've heard of this superstition before. A knife wound that contains strong resentment will never heal until the resentment is resolved."

Iizuka, a bearded man who was the messenger between Kenshin and the organization behind him, said so.

Barrage at this moment
[Is metaphysics starting? No, I want to watch martial arts. 】

[Don't do any martial arts or ghost-slaying stuff later. ]

[What's the grudge? It's obviously the wound infection. Isn't it normal for it to be difficult to heal in that era? ]

[It may be scurvy. Kenshin may be picky about food and doesn't eat vegetables.]

【anemia?】

Chu Yumeng shifted her gaze away from the passing barrage of comments.

She now understands that this drama is not just a simple martial arts drama.

Kenshin's past memories were full of hope and he wanted to save the world, which contrasts with his current murderous, dull, silent and numb self.

Maybe he is indeed the most murderous assassin in Kyoto, but he is also just a fifteen-year-old boy with hope.

The more the plot progresses, the deeper the sense of loneliness emanating from Kenshin becomes.

The following plot consists of four or five consecutive assassination battle scenes involving Kenshin.

The actions of the character actors were increasingly beyond Chu Yumeng's imagination.

By the end, even the barrage of comments became unbearable.

[Why can the fighting scenes be so realistic even if the wires and wires are falling off? Also, wires and wires can't improve the reaction speed of the actors, right? Kenshin draws his sword so quickly, is that possible?]

[It's a bit outrageous. Kenshin's movements are completely out of the same dimension as the people around him. Even if the details were added by post-production special effects, this actor is too fierce, right? ]

[How can the actor who plays Kenshin control his leg muscles so accurately without slipping during the multiple turns during the running? Does he have such a strong balance?]

[Has the quality of Xiaguo's action and martial arts dramas become so high now? ]

[After watching the trailer, I thought it was an action movie, but the plot was unexpectedly good! ]

The plot progresses.

On a rainy night, a woman in white clothes stepped into the tavern.

She had bright eyes, white teeth, cold gaze, and skin whiter than blood. The moment she appeared, Chu Yumeng, a girl, felt her heart skip a beat.

Stunning, beautiful, and that kind of temperament.

Chu Yumeng had a good memory and remembered immediately that this woman was the childhood sweetheart and fiancée of Qingli who was killed by Kenshin at the beginning of this episode.

She also came to Kyoto?
She picked up the wine glass and took a sip with a lonely look in her eyes.

Then she left the pub holding an umbrella.

At this moment, the divine background music from Rurouni Kenshin's original OVA sounded.

When the system exchanged the Sword Heart Reminiscence Chapter for Su Yan, it also came with the relevant BGM information. As for Su Yan, he copied the music score of this magical interlude "In Memories A Boy Meets The Man" in the past month.

Then just spend some money to ask some people in the recording studio to help record it, register the copyright, and then in the name of the screenwriter, get Shinozaki Ikumi to agree to regard it as an important episode in Kenshin's drama.

At the beginning, this pure music background music was very soothing, but as the plot progressed, the music took on a tragic feeling.

Camera switch.

Kenshin walked alone in the dark night. In a dark corner, a fierce man wearing a mask, holding chains and a knife, was waiting for Kenshin's path.

Chu Yumeng's nervousness rose.

Zoom the lens higher and higher.

It can be seen from the top view.

The alley where Kenshin fought the masked assassin and the alley where the tavern where the woman with an umbrella left were two intersecting alleys.

The moment the thunder sounded, the masked and chained man failed in his sneak attack on Kenshin and had a head-on battle with him.

Both men were like monkeys, rolling on the walls of the alley, bouncing onto the walls, and then fighting on the ground. Their movements were fierce and smooth, and the murderous intent in their expressions and eyes could be transmitted through the screen.

It’s another gorgeous fight, and by far the best fight scene in the first episode.

Because Kenshin finally met an opponent who was not someone he could kill in one second.

In the alley, a woman holding an umbrella took small steps forward in the rain.

The bgm keeps advancing and seems to be reaching a climax.

The chain man swung the chain in his hand, which circled and bound Kenshin. He no longer hesitated, and fell from the eaves, his head facing the ground. Kenshin stabbed the boy with a sharp blade in his hand.

Kenshin's expression in the play remains as cold and calm as ever.

With a twist of his wrist, Chu Yumeng didn't even have time to react. The forehand sword in his hand instantly turned into a backhand hidden sword. The chain tied to his body exerted force on his waist and pulled the masked assassin in front of him.

Tear!

Under the moonlight on a rainy night, two cold lights intersected. The figure in the air was cut in half from head to toe by the sharp blade, and blood mixed with rain formed an arc of water that splashed towards the front of Jianxin.

All of it was sprinkled on that beautiful figure.

BGM reaches its climax at this moment.

Blood, a fallen umbrella, and the girl's hand holding the umbrella was also stained with blood.
The woman stopped.

Kenshin half-knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, with a murderous expression.

At this moment, the sword wound on his left cheek, which had never healed, was bleeding for no reason and flowing down Kenshin's chin.

He raised his head, and the murderous look on his face melted away instantly like snow meeting the scorching sun.

A woman wearing a snow-white kimono, but now the clothes are all bloody, her snow-white face is full of blood, and her eyes are cold and calm, standing in front of him.
The white plum blossoms are bleeding.

This was a scene that made Chu Yumeng and all the viewers watching the first episode of Kenshin tremble in their hearts.

The two enemies, bloody, beautiful, and full of fate, met each other for the first time on this rainy night.

The woman looked at Kenshin, no fear in her eyes, and spoke slowly.

[You really are someone who can bring about a bloody storm. ]

After hearing her words, Kenshin's eyes were not cold and ruthless for the first time, but full of fear and confusion.

More blood oozed from his face.

The blade in his hand fell unconsciously from his powerful hands.

Chu Yumeng was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted from the loneliness portrayed by Kenshin in the plot.

Kenshin might have already realized it in his heart.

The oath he made before his master to save the suffering people with the sword in his hand had long gone astray.

Perhaps he had always been stirring up bloodshed in Kyoto, and was used by others to kill people mindlessly.

And this woman was the first person to say this to him face to face.

The rain washed away the blood stains on their bodies.

The camera freezes on this scene.
The two looked at each other.

The ending song plays.

There was a full ten seconds of blank screen time.

No one posted a comment.

Chu Yumeng's heart was pounding.

The last shot is truly an indescribable work of art.

How can there be such a fatalistic drama?
This is too explosive.

After the ending song ended, Chu Yumeng was still immersed in the plot.

The takeaway she ordered had already gone cold by this moment, but she had no appetite to eat, or even to do the overtime work she had to do.

She searched for information about the drama on Rurouni Kenshin's streaming page.

She saw two of the most crucial pieces of information at a glance.

Screenwriter: Su Yan.

Kenshin played by: Su Yan.

Su Yan
who is this!

Chu Yumeng searched for information about Su Yan on the Internet, but Xiaguo's actor library and screenwriter library had no information about him.

"Really? This is the first drama shot by a complete newcomer?"

Could such a thing be possible?

Chu Yumeng looked a little bit unbelieving.

People who don't like works like Rurouni Kenshin will find them boring, with an ancient background, slow-moving plot, and not very exciting.

But for the person I like, I will be fascinated by him/her at first sight.

Chu Yumeng is obviously the kind of person who fell in love with Kenshin at first sight.

"The total length is four episodes, updated every Monday." Chu Yumeng gritted her teeth when she saw this.

I want to post something in the comment section of the Rurouni Kenshin streaming page.

But at this moment, some angry fans had already posted what she wanted to say.

The comment with the most likes perfectly represents her thoughts.

[Sakura.com, are you sick? It's a short drama with only four episodes, but you put the last three episodes online at once! Do you think I can't afford it? It's also released in four weeks. The director and screenwriter are also idiots. Can you edit? It ends here, they are not human. Except for the actors, all the crew members are idiots. I have confirmed it.]

Internet trolls are not encouraged.

But this comment really touched her heart.

Chu Yumeng took a deep breath, reviewed several explosive and handsome scenes in the first episode of Kenshin again, and then exited the playback page.

Take a look at the hot search list at this moment.

Rurouni Kenshin was originally ranked outside the top 30 or 40 on the trending search list.

One hour after the first episode was released, the popularity had climbed to thirteenth.

After thinking about it, Chu Yumeng sent the streaming and purchase link of Rurouni Kenshin to several of her friend groups.

Good works are meant to be shared by everyone.

　Sorry, the update is late because I was watching the LPL TES vs. BLG game. I have been a LOL fan for ten years. Although I don’t play it much now, I still watch the games.

　　I would like to say here that the author usually updates in the evening, but no later than midnight.

　　Finally, thanks to Moonlight Burial Song, MeaaaO_o, Super Electromagnetic and Hanabi Kon for their rewards.

　　Thanks, big guy.

　　Thank you all for your monthly votes and recommendation votes.

　　ヾ(≧≦Thank you≧≦)ノ
