Chapter 258. Subtle things (3)
Wheel works production was sure that «Slayers» would become a big hit. There were various reasons behind this.
But the strongest reason is its characters.
Characters in a drama or a movie are the things that drive the plot and sometimes, just one character was enough to make a boring plot interesting.
That was the importance of characters.
«Slayers» also have many characters in it and all of them are distinct but at the same time, they are working towards the same goal.
That made them more interesting.
The plot of «Slayers» was not an entirely different concept but it was different from other ancient styled dramas because of its characters.
The plot of the drama was nothing, if not for his characters.
People's attention will be attracted to the main character, Xie Xian or the spirit princess played by Tang Lan.
It can even be the antagonist, Cao Xu.
But there was one character that will connect them all to each other. That was the character of the crown prince, Xu Tingsheng.
Without him, Xie Xian would not clash with Cao Xu and no love would blossom between the spirit princess and Xie Xian.
People may ignore him at first, but when one looks closely, they will notice that Xu Tingsheng was a really interesting character in itself.
”What words do you think will describe the character of Xu Tingsheng?”
”What type of question is that?”
Na Wen looked at Ren with a strange look on his face. It was the look which was saying that Ren was asking something ridiculous.
Still, Ren just repeated his question and Na Wen had no choice, but to think about it.
”Brave, full of ambition and someone who knows how to differentiate between people. A person who can use you without you knowing that you were being used.”
Na Wen answered after thinking for a while and Ren nodded at those words.
Xu Tingsheng was really like that. He has a huge ambition of ruling the empire and even conquering the other kingdoms.
For that, he can do anything.
”So, what do you think is the reason behind his ambition?”
Ren's second question was on the ambition of Xu Tingsheng.
It was a fairly easy question for Na Wen, unlike the first one. He didn't take much time to think about it and answered.
”It was because of his mother who wanted him to be the emperor from the start. He got his ambitious nature from her.”
As he finished his words, Na Wen contemplated on the reason behind Ren asking these questions but he found nothing.
He can just stare at Ren with a suspicious look.
”No, you are entirely wrong.”
Suddenly, Ren said that and Na Wen could not help but think that he had heard wrong.
”What did you say?”
”I said that you are entirely wrong. The reason behind Xu Tingsheng's ambitious nature wasn't his mother, but something else.”
Ren said as he started explaining the reason behind Xu Tingsheng's ambitious nature.
Actually, there was something really common between Xu Tingsheng and Cao Xu, aside from their ambitious nature.
They both hated their mother!!
Yes, Xu Tingsheng really hated his mother. It was because his mother never saw him as her son.
She just saw him as someone who will give her immense power after becoming the emperor. Rather than Xu Tingsheng, she was much more ambitious.
That's why he hated his mother a lot.
Xu Tingsheng would always find ways to oppose his mother. So, he doesn't have any reason to become the emperor, something his mother wanted.
