The TV series "Chinese Paladin 4" has a shorter episode count: 40 episodes changed to 36 episodes

Recently, the Youth Work Committee issued a notice on the adjustment of the shooting plan of key national online dramas and online movies in October 2023. The much-anticipated TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy 4" was changed from 40 episodes to 36 episodes.

Many netizens speculated whether this adjustment would affect the completeness and expressiveness of the plot. However, from the perspective of the producers, this adjustment is not unacceptable, because too many episodes may affect the quality of the plot and audience acceptance. By reasonably cutting the plot and controlling the length of the episodes, it will help improve the overall quality of the series and better meet the audience's viewing needs.

The Chinese Paladin 4 is expected to be ready for broadcast in December and will be launched on the iQiyi platform. Ju Jingyi plays Han Lingsha and Chen Zheyuan plays Yun Tianhe. The drama is adapted from the single-player game of the same name, which is different from the traditional fairy tale drama. Although it tells the story of seeking immortals, it tells the ordinary human feelings along the way. It does not focus on love, but love is everywhere. The young girl Han Lingsha and the young boy Yun Tianhe are not afraid of the heaven and fate. They achieve miracles with the belief of "my life is in my own hands" and finally realize the spiritual meaning of "to cultivate immortality, you must first cultivate humanity".
