Because the last ten episodes of the new version of Water Margin written by him are both "in line with the original connotation" and "easily accepted by the audience", netizens have a good evaluation of Sun Pingyang's writing style and become the best screenwriter.
In 2009, Sun Pingyang joined the crew of the new version of Water Margin, and was mainly responsible for the scriptwriting of "Three Lost to Gao Qiu" and "Want Fang La". Although he had never seen the original Water Margin before, Sun Pingyang worked hard behind closed doors, forgot to eat and sleep, and racked his brains, and finally wrote a new version of Water Margin with an episode of 10. Later, he became popular on the Internet because of a series of shocking remarks.
When writing the script of "The New Water Margin", Sun Pingyang first copied a large number of CCTV old water margin scripts and deleted a large number of wonderful plots of the original. This makes the Fang La part of the new Water Margin have the same effect as the old version, which adds great regret to the controversial situation of the new Water Margin. Netizens have nicknamed it "Nine-Day Flying Phoenix". Sun Pingyang and Zhu Sujin are both "famous butchers".
