Douluo Continent (simplified Chinese: 斗罗大陆; traditional Chinese: 鬥羅大陸; pinyin: Dòuluō Dàlù) is a 2021 Chinese television series based on a fantasy novel of the same name by Tang Jia San Shao, starring Xiao Zhan and Wu Xuanyi.[2][3] It premiered on Tencent Video, CCTV and WeTV on February 5.[4] It was successful despite its data suppression.[5]
Plot
[edit]Based on the novel of the same name, "Douluo Continent" tells the story of Tang San, who lost his mother at a young age, overcame many difficulties with his perseverance and strength.
Tang San (Xiao Zhan) lives with his alcoholic blacksmith father Tang Hao. Tang San yearns to know about his mother, but Tang Hao never talks about his wife. When Tang San attends a Spirit Awakening ceremony with Spirit Master Su Yun Tao, he discovers that his Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, which he is told is the most common of useless spirits. Tang San's Spirit Strength, however, is exceptional -- and he discovers he has a second Spirit, which he keeps hidden and only reveals to his father. Tang Hao tells his son that only by becoming the strongest and most courageous man of Douluo Continent, he would be qualified to hear of his mother. Tang San goes to study at Nuo Ding Spirit Master Academy, where he befriends fellow student Xiao Wu (Wu Xuanyi) and Spirit theorist Yu Xiao Gang (Chen Calvin), who suspects Tang San has a second spirit, and teaches him about Blue Silver Grass being not useless as most other Spirit Masters claim, and how to gain power as a Spirit Master. Running into trouble with highborn student and bully Xiao Chen Yu (Wang Kai), and to avoid entanglement with the Spirit Hall organisation that virtually controls Spirit Masters on Douluo Continent, Tang San and Xiao Wu leave Nuo Ding academy, where they meet several other powerful and enigmatic Spirit Masters on their way through the ranks of their profession.[6]
Background
[edit]Tang Jia San Shao used traditional Chinese culture and historical stories as the blueprint and motif to create the original Chinese IP "Douluo Continent" through online literature. Tang Jia San Shao invested a lot of emotion in the creation. The male protagonist in "Douluo Continent" is based on the author himself, and many other characters are also from relatives and friends around him, taken from real life experiences.[1]
