Chapter 480
"World's Number One" has officially concluded.
Countless people said the fight scenes were burning, not enough to watch, and they were left wanting more.
Countless people said that after watching, there were too many regrets.
For example, Shangguan Haitang's death, Suxin's death.
Open the internet.
On Starry Sky Net, as of the finale night, the show's rating was as high as 9.5, with a total of over 880,000 people giving ratings.
Including many well-known film critics.
Such as Gu Dongcheng, whose review title was "A God-tier Show, but also a Tragedy!"
"In fact, all the characters in the show are tragedies; everyone lost what they cherished most. Except for Cheng Cheng Shifei, Princess Yunluo, and the Emperor. The core of comedy is nothing more than this; what people remember is ultimately the tragedy of unfulfilled wishes and the beautiful hopes of future generations.
History is often more cruel and real. The Divine Marquis is very much like Zhu Di, except Zhu Di didn't have such strong obsessions, otherwise, there wouldn't be Suxin as a weakness. Other than that, he is a perfect villain.
But the more perfect, the more real history is, and the more cruel it is.
So the Divine Marquis is truly my favorite martial arts villain! Rich in connotation, both righteous and evil, and has his own dreams to pursue.
Seemingly wanting both empire and beauty, but in reality, he loved beauty more.
Wanting to seize the empire was also because he hadn't succeeded in marrying Suxin before, which led to his obsession with gaining power.
It's just a pity that when Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan appeared and Suxin committed suicide, his dream was completely shattered."
Famous film critic Xiaodan took a different approach, writing the review from the perspective of character design:
"In this show, many characters' designs are very dreamlike.
Divine Marquis: A scheming villain, calculating everything, but ending up with nothing.
Cheng Cheng Shifei: A male lead from a Feilu novel, inheriting the most powerful martial arts upon appearance, marrying a wife who is noble, beautiful, and cute, and being the only one in the entire show to get a perfect ending.
Shangguan Shangguan Haitang: The Mary Sue herself, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, astrology, and gossip, and loved by the three most noble, richest, and handsomest men in the show.
Duan Tianya: The Jack Sue himself, wiping out the Yagyu family alone.
Guihai Guihai Yidao: The epitome of 'beautiful, strong, and miserable,' with his father, mother, and wife all dead; it's no exaggeration to call him a 'jinx.'
Cao Cao Zhengchun: The show's power-level detector, the prince of bullying the weak, never losing to those lower than him, and never winning against those higher than him.
Yagyu Yagyu Xueji: The 'white moonlight.'
Yagyu Yagyu Piaoxu: The black-bellied 'white lotus.'
Besides the Divine Marquis, Cao Cao Zhengchun, and the four secret agents, there is another person whose setting is heaven-defying, and that is Suxin: a woman standing at the top of the food chain in the entire show.
As for Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan... she is a BUG.
There is no such thing as 'World's Number One,' it's just wanting to satisfy the illusions in everyone's hearts. It's just that Xu Mingyue really understands this thing called dream-making; imperfection is perfection."
A critic named "Let Me Be Reckless" conducted a deeper analysis:
"Xu Mingyue, the screenwriter, is the best! I don't know if everyone has noticed, but the plot has logical progression. The first chapter describes the test of Cheng Cheng Shifei as a secret agent, the second tells Duan Tianya's story, the third is Shangguan Haitang's personal show, and then it introduces Guihai Yidao's past and present... and the plot is coherent, letting us follow the story."
Among them, the character that left the deepest impression on me is Suxin.
Suxin, Suxin, a name that makes one feel warm just by saying it. From this name, you seem to be able to see a gentle girl, holding an umbrella, walking out of a misty town in Jiangnan.
She may not be a beauty who outshines all others, nor a beauty with an ethereal temperament, but every move she makes always makes people feel very comfortable, like a cup of warm clear tea.
But don't be fooled by this name and her gentle appearance.
The truth is, she herself is also someone who likes to tease others. When Gu Gu Santong told her he tricked the Divine Marquis into saying the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art could only be practiced by a virgin and could only be used five times, and that the Divine Marquis was a fool, Suxin laughed very happily.
But what the Divine Marquis liked was a dignified, gentle, and virtuous Suxin, so most of Suxin's later smiles were when she was with Cheng Cheng Shifei, and she didn't smile much when she was with the Divine Marquis."
A large number of viewers saw this review and recalled the plot.
"It seems that's really the case."
"I didn't expect you to be such a Suxin."
"From this point of view, Suxin and Gu Gu Santong are a perfect match! It's just that as a girl, she couldn't tease others like Gu Gu Santong did."
"Suxin is gentle on the surface, rebellious in secret."
"..."
As one review after another appeared, more and more foreshadowing was uncovered, and many viewers exclaimed that they had watched a fake TV series and planned to rewatch it.
They wouldn't admit that this was just an excuse to rewatch it.
And on Weibo.
A large number of viewers were also in heated discussion, and the Weibo trending list was directly dominated by "World's Number One."
Under the trending topics, the comment section was extremely lively.
"Duan 'Yagyu-jinx-anti-Japanese-hero-swearing-not-to-marry-but-the-sister-in-law-is-an-exception' Tianya."
"Made me laugh to death, Princess Princess Lixiu said: 'Go away, you dead handsome guy'... a giant bird, hahahaha. Xu Mingyue really dares to film anything."
"The young ladies have such rich theoretical knowledge."
"The Dragon Gate Inn at the end, does it refer to the movie 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' recently launched by the Gu King?"
"Both have the word 'Dragon Gate,' it must be related. I guess it has to do with Yu Yu Huatian."
[Garbled text]
"Add one point, Shangguan Haitang's master, Master Wuhen Young Master, should already be dead, and it's very likely he was absorbed by the Divine Marquis."
"What I find most unforgettable about this show is the relationship between Guihai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang. You can see from Guihai Yidao's eyes and expressions that he loved Shangguan Haitang to death, and Shangguan Haitang's eyes toward Guihai Yidao in the later stages were also particularly affectionate, but they weren't completely love-brained, and later Shangguan Haitang died, so it's even more regrettable."
"Don't say it, I'm so angry, the most regrettable part is this, it really made me cry to death, woooooo."
"At first I thought Cao Cao Zhengchun was the villain, but seeing the end, I realized the Divine Marquis was the real villain."
"I love Princess Yunluo so much, it's a blessing to find such a wife."
"I have a bold idea: when Cheng Cheng Shifei and his wife are living their married life, can they also use the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art?"
"I'm afraid Princess Yunluo can't handle it."
"Actually, they could also use the Star-Sucking Great Art."
"You guys are not right."
"Can you even drive on this broken road?"
"Personally, I think this show, whether in action or plot, counts as one of the top three domestic martial arts dramas. Xu Mingyue is awesome!"
"Although it's an old saying, I still have to say it: Xu Mingyue is the best!"
"Looking forward to the young ladies' next martial arts drama, 'Wind and Cloud'!"
In any case, "World's Number One" has officially concluded.
Its influence, however, continues.
The next day.
The final ratings for the show were calculated.
Since it started airing, the ratings on Zhejiang Satellite TV climbed steadily, and by last night's finale, the peak reached 10.2!
Breaking ten!
No martial arts drama has ever achieved such data, and even among all TV series, it stands above the rest!
This rating beat all TV programs, including CCTV, during the same period!
Xu Mingyue once again demonstrated their terrifying dominance.
The TV industry was shaken!
What's even more terrifying is that they achieved this at only 20 years old.
This is Xu Mingyue's martial arts era!
Invincible!
