Of course, the plot of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" can't really progress that fast, otherwise Song Chenye could have wiped out all his enemies in one go.
So while investigating his enemies, Song Chenye also gradually got to know many people. While seeking revenge and killing, he did not forget to help the weak and punish the strong, help solve unsolved cases in the martial arts world, distinguish right from wrong, and stay true to his principles.
The subsequent plot not only introduces the main characters but also delves deeper into the character of Song Chenye, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
It can be said that Song Chenye is a true chivalrous hero. He carries a deep-seated hatred, but he is not cynical. He is ruthless towards his enemies and bad guys, and he kills decisively. He also shows kindness to the weak and good people and takes the initiative to lend a helping hand.
Furthermore, he is not stupid; he can distinguish right from wrong and judge what is right and wrong. Even if he encounters danger, he has the power to protect himself and suppress it.
This is truly a very old-fashioned, very pure, very martial arts, and you could even say a very stereotypical upright male protagonist.
Long ago, such a male protagonist would only be criticized as a saint, and would be scolded by the audience as "soft-hearted" and "hypocritical good person".
Surprisingly, viewers didn't dislike Song Chenye's actions; in fact, they found them quite captivating.

On the night of its premiere, "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" achieved remarkable success across various metrics. Even the usually aloof CCTV-8 retweeted the official announcement of the show's premiere and offered their congratulations.
Just as "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" was enjoying immense popularity on Banana Video, it was simultaneously broadcast on CCTV-8's prime time slot, achieving a viewership rating that broke 2%, setting a new record for the highest viewership rating for a costume drama premiere on CCTV-8.
Furthermore, since the latest episode aired, related topics about "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" have been constantly updated, successfully attracting a large number of viewers thanks to the exciting plot in the early episodes.
It's currently a hot topic of discussion and celebration on major marketing platforms.
A blogger who was preparing to scrutinize the work and use the negative comments about Xiao He to attract viewers quietly deleted their negative posts to protect their account after watching the episodes. They then reposted the promotional material for the premiere of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" with the caption: "【Recommended, worth watching, will continue to follow and wait for updates, will update tomorrow.】"
This is the time when "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" has finished its normal broadcast. Normally, this time is also the main battleground for marketing accounts and fast-paced commentary bloggers, and it is the earliest concentrated upload period for derivative videos.
These accounts typically watch and edit simultaneously, sometimes even preparing outlines and templates in advance. They then use short, quick clips and highlight reels to grab the platform's recommended traffic as soon as possible, specifically targeting viewers who have just finished watching the first episode and are still wanting more, as well as casual viewers who haven't watched the show yet and are still observing.
His post quickly {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} attracted the attention of other viewers, and then laughter filled the air.
【DuDu, you've changed. I thought you were this harsh on all popular dramas.】
【Is Xiao He considered a talented actor? Not a typical idol star.】
【Wow, that makes sense. I can recommend it to my friend who doesn't like watching idol dramas.】
【So, is "The Legend of the Wind" any good? Any casual readers have their opinions?】
【Just a casual reader, but I highly recommend "The Legend of the Wind"! It's incredibly good.】
【It's really good, worth a look.】
【If you're still unsure whether "The Legend of the Wind" is good or not, check your WeChat Moments. While online friends might mislead you, the opinions of your elders will never be.】
【Haha, it's true! My mom immediately posted on her WeChat Moments recommending it to everyone. I laughed so hard; I never thought she'd be so enthusiastic.】
【As I said, Xiao He is a small box suitable for all ages. 【doge emoji】】
Xiao He recently received an award, and with the almost bundled, aggressive marketing of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," many casual viewers have given it positive reviews. Meanwhile, more dedicated fans have started creating fan-made content and ratings, and are doing data analysis for Xiao He everywhere.
Although Xiao He's current situation is indeed, as netizens jokingly say, not relying on popularity, it's still absolutely impossible to succeed without it.
At 2 a.m., Xiao He officially landed in Shanghai.
Sitting in the car, he reopened his phone, scrolling through the comments from netizens with satisfaction, and set a timed Weibo post for tomorrow morning to officially announce that filming for "Time-Traveling Confrontation" would begin the day after tomorrow.
Yes, while many people are still focused on "The Legend of the Wind", the start date for "Time and Space Standoff" is set for August 10th, which is the day after tomorrow - no, it's already past midnight, so to be precise, it's tomorrow.
Xiao He from "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" will continue to participate in some of the promotional activities for the series, but they cannot slack off on the filming of "Time and Space Confrontation" and must start filming as soon as possible.
Xiao Chen also explained the upcoming arrangements to Xiao He in the car: "Xiao Ge's main job next is to join the crew. There may be a few live broadcasts of 'Chasing the Wind' in a while. Xiao Ge may need to prepare in advance."
These live streams are not quite the same in nature. One is a private account live stream, in which the actors connect with each other using their respective accounts to promote benefits to fans and drama enthusiasts. The other is a platform live stream arranged by Banana Video, which will be a live stream conducted on-site using platform accounts. In addition to targeting fans and drama enthusiasts, this one also aims to attract a wave of platform fans and casual viewers to become interested in "The Legend of Chasing the Wind".
The final live stream was sponsored and had a sales element. It was also like a friendly chat session, but with the added sponsors and brands, serving as another form of promotion and helping "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" attract more sponsors...
These live streams each have their own uses and purposes. As the main male protagonist, Xiao He naturally cannot be absent, so when he has to run between the two, he can only run between the two, and there is no other way.
However, Liu Rulan still did not return to Shanghai with Xiao He this time.
She remained in Beijing.
Now that Xiao He is fully capable of handling things on his own, he no longer needs Liu Rulan to follow him around all the time. Therefore, Liu Rulan should continue to use her abilities as a top agent to help Xiao He secure more opportunities in other areas.
Xiao Chen, who had taken over Xiao He's daily affairs, diligently recounted the entire upcoming schedule.
Xiao He thought it over in his mind, then nodded: "Let's go straight to the filming base. We won't go back to the company today."
They had already slept for two hours on the plane, and now they were going straight to the base, which would give them about an extra day of rest, without having to go back to Linghui Entertainment again.
"good."
Lao Qi turned around and drove straight to the filming location.
What Xiao He didn't know was that an uninvited guest arrived at the entrance of Linghui Entertainment this morning.
"Hello, has Agent Liu returned yet?"
The man wearing a mask stood at the door for a long time with a complicated expression, and finally seemed to muster up the courage to go to the front desk to ask questions.
The receptionist glanced warily at the person in front of her, but remained polite. She looked at the visitor list in her hand and shook her head at him: "I'm sorry, Manager Liu is not in Shanghai recently."
"I see..."
He murmured with some disappointment.
"Would you like me to make an appointment for you? Or could you tell me why you're here, and I'll find someone else for you?"
"No, no need."
Tong Junhui shook his head, then turned and left.
