【Are you there? @TheWindChaserOfficialProductionTeam, head over there to film season two, understand?】
【Hey, don't be a heavy seller of sequels, okay? Look at *The Thieves 2*, *Sumi 2*, *The Thieves 2*, *Law of the Jungle 2*, *No Bait 2*, and *The Wind Chaser 2*, when are they coming out?】
【Holy crap, I didn't even realize it! Xiao He still owes us so many dramas! @Ling Hui (actor) - Xiao He, hurry up and give them all back!】
【There were no rumors of sequels to "The Thief Catcher" and "Law of the Jungle," and director Ning of "No Bait" is also retiring. Judging from the ending of "The Wind Chaser," there probably won't be a sequel either. Don't get your hopes up!】
【Shh, if I say it's there, it's there. Keep filming, if I say it's on, it's on right away, absolutely!】
【Haha, Brother Xiao said, "If we'd known, we should have just killed all the characters. You see, if the characters died, there would never be a second season. It would have saved us so much trouble."】
【No way!! Brother Xiao, don't think you can make things easier by dying!】
【I recommend everyone watch the analysis video by this Bilibili blogger. It seems Song Chenye is ultimately just a pawn, so there will probably be a second season where he directly storms the capital and kills the scoundrel emperor, right?】
【Here's a pen from upstairs. Write it yourself right away.】
【There probably won't be a second season of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind." All the important characters have been replaced, leaving only Xiao He. How can they possibly act like that? Hahaha.】
It turns out that after the finale of "The Legend of the Wind", Bilibili's film and television bloggers also gained a lot of popularity by praising "The Legend of the Wind". One blogger even made several videos analyzing the combat power and the prototype videos of various forces, which made a lot of money from the fans of the show. Now that the last episode has been broadcast, this blogger has followed up with a final analysis video of "The Legend of the Wind".
"Actually, I think it becomes quite obvious in the later part of the story. Chiba Manor is a metaphor for the power of the imperial court. Although the imperial family may not have been explicitly mentioned in the end, the layout and decoration of Chiba Manor already tell a lot."
The blogger then pointed out many "irregularities" in Chiba Villa to support his idea: "I originally thought these were bugs in the production team, but it is obvious that the production team really put a lot of effort into the design. These irregularities were intentional."
"This is the brilliance of 'The Legend of Chasing the Wind'. While detaching themselves from the imperial court and temples, they still depict the vastness of imperial power. Even in the end, the protagonist, Song Chenye, has no choice but to avoid the limelight and retire from the martial world."
"So from the very beginning, everyone's fate was already sealed, including Song Chenye's. At the time, many people in the comments section lamented that Song Chenye killed the leader of the martial arts alliance and reclaimed the glory of the Song family, so why didn't he take over as the leader of the martial arts alliance and restore the prestige of the Song family in the end? I think the most fundamental reason for this is here."
"From their background, we can tell that the power of the martial arts world has grown considerably over the years, and many sects and families have high prestige. The common people are willing to praise them as heroes. However, everyone also knows that when martial arts people like them get together and even create a leader position, it is a thorn in the side of the imperial court. Their influence is too great, and when the emperor has time, he will definitely have to control them."
"So here, everyone else is a pawn, including Song Chenye. As a pawn in the process of eliminating the forces of the martial arts world, Song Chenye earned a way out for himself and successfully retired. Otherwise, if he had continued to take over the position of leader of the martial arts alliance like Leader Liu, the final outcome would probably have been a different story."
"But until the very end, we still don't know whether the imperial power intervened in the downfall of the Song family. For example, why did Song Chenye's master suddenly pass away just when the martial arts alliance leader was changing, allowing Song Chenye to go down the mountain ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) to seek revenge? Moreover, Song Chenye's description of his master is very limited. Everyone in the martial arts world knows who Song Chenye is and who his father is, but they don't know who Song Chenye's master is. This is very contradictory."
"When Song Chenye came down the mountain, he was already almost invincible in the martial arts world. How could a master who could teach such a disciple be unknown in the martial arts world? What kind of resources and abilities made Song Chenye the number one martial arts master in the world?"
"I can only think of one reason: Song Chenye's master came from the capital, or even from the palace."
"These details are really worth appreciating. Also, how did Song Chenye manage to accurately find his enemies on his first trip down the mountain and take revenge on them one by one? Where did this initial intelligence network come from?"
"So this story is not what everyone imagines it to be, a revenge story with a happy ending. This ending is a tragedy for everyone. Song Chenye may have also realized that the Tian family was suppressing and balancing the major forces in the martial arts world, but he had no way to resist. In the end, he could only follow this path, complete his revenge, and then withdraw from the martial arts world."
"Of course, some people might say, 'Host, host, if the royal family intervened in the destruction of the Song family, does that mean Song Chenye has another enemy in the capital? So, will there be a second season of 'The Legend of Chasing the Wind' so that we can see Song Chenye storm the capital and take the emperor's head?'"
"Ahem, based on my understanding of the director, there probably won't be a second season. Moreover, there is no clear evidence in the entire plot that the royal family intervened in the downfall of the Song family. Even Qianye Manor just stood by and watched, allowing Gong Lin to leak secrets and use others to do their dirty work. So Song Chenye himself can't be sure either."
"Besides, to put it bluntly, even though Song Chenye is a big killer in the martial arts world, he doesn't actually have the ability to kill the emperor."
"And the most important point is that the storyteller in the last episode also said that the current young emperor is on the throne and is working hard. He is indeed a good emperor. Judging from the reign title, he ascended the throne after the Song family was destroyed. So if we really want to talk about enemies, it can only be the deceased emperor. The current emperor is just picking up the pieces that the previous emperor had already planned and arranged."
"And Song Chenye is just a pawn left behind in this game."
It was only because Song Chenye was outstanding and capable enough that the imperial family's attention returned to him, giving him this opportunity for revenge.
Therefore, fundamentally speaking, Song Chenye and the current emperor have no direct hatred relationship. In fact, the new emperor helped him without leaving a trace and eventually let Song Chenye retire from the martial arts world.
Therefore, the ending of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" has already revealed the situation of this last enemy and the final truth through the storyteller's description.
At this point, the entire story logic has reached a closed loop, and all the foreshadowing and plot holes have been filled. "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" can be said to have a very complete ending. It neither deliberately leaves a hook for the audience to hint at a second season, nor does it act as a riddle for everyone to guess.
It simply told its story completely.
In the end, the blogger himself was a little emotional: "But I really have some regrets, regrets that there won't be a second season."
Song Chenye came quietly and left quietly, unaware that in another world, countless fans genuinely loved and admired him.
"In this year's list of popular TV drama characters, I'd vote for Song Chenye."
The blogger concluded by rubbing his forehead in frustration.
"Oh no, it seems like the box rate is really high this year. How come it's all Brother Xiao after all?"
The drama's fans were all smiles.
