Transforming into twin actresses, offering a glimpse into the cutthroat world of entertainment.

At this moment.

In front of their computers, mobile phones, or tablets, countless viewers wept uncontrollably.

Crazy.

collapse.

I can't cry!

Those twins were incredibly ruthless; they wiped out the main characters entirely!

Except for Li Xiaoyao, almost everyone else is dead!

In the end, even the female lead, Zhao Ling'er, died, which is what everyone finds most heartbreaking!

You Mingyue's portrayal of Zhao Ling'er is so charming, beautiful, and delicate that many viewers say she is the most beautiful, best-acted, and most likable female lead in recent years.

Since the show aired, she has become the dream wife of countless people.

The phrase "Li Xiaoyao's hatred for stealing his wife is irreconcilable" is not just empty talk; it reflects the affection many viewers have for her.

Yet, this is a character who is extremely popular with audiences and very likable.

You Mingyue, who was the director, screenwriter, and Zhao Ling'er, actually killed her with her own hands!

That's Zhao Ling'er!

That's really ruthless.

This is... too cruel, too heartbreaking, and hard to accept.

It's like you paint a masterpiece, turn your head 2.6 times, and ruin it.

then.

The internet exploded.

Countless viewers flooded You Mingyue's Weibo with comments.

"You are the screenwriters, the directors, and the actresses who played Zhao Ling'er. How could you kill her off?"

"Aaaaaaah! I don't understand!"

"I cried so much! Especially with the music playing, I cried like a baby!"

"The more joyful it is at the beginning, the more heartbreaking it becomes later. This drama is full of sadness. Li Xiaoyao is so pitiful!"

"I never expected that this would be such a depressing drama."

"When Lin Yueru was stabbed, I didn't cry; when the Drunken Sword Immortal was stabbed, I didn't cry; when Zhao Ling'er was stabbed... I cried like a storm!"

"Miss Gu, blink and tell me honestly, were you threatened by capital to make this arrangement?"

"Waaaaah, I can't stop crying!"

"I'm so angry! How could Zhao Ling'er die? I've cursed three dogs and I still can't calm down!"

"That's outrageous! This is the first time I've ever seen a fantasy drama where the female lead is killed with a knife!"

"I'm going crazy!"

"He's gone mad! My fairy wife, Ling'er, is dead!"

Chapter 185 The Xianxia genre isn't a trap, it's just that you guys don't know how to film it

"What a wonderful Ling'er, possessing all the beauty in the world: obedient, cute, sensible, kind... and then, Brother Yue killed her!"

"In the end, Zhao Ling'er wore a green dress, just like when she was seen on Immortal Spirit Island. She was really beautiful. But her beauty was heartbreaking. She was already on her last legs. How much pain did she endure to not collapse? It's heartbreaking."

"Having gotten used to naive and sweet female leads and villainous heroines, Zhao Ling'er's type really appeals to me, sigh..."

"I'm begging for Youmingyue's address. I want to send her razor blades; I can't hold back anymore."

"Are you really going to send me razor blades? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it."

"..."

the other side.

Starry Sky Network.

When the first season of "Chinese Paladin" concluded, the show maintained a rating of 9.3 on Starry Sky Network.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no single drama can please everyone.

However, the fact that Chinese Paladin has a high rating of 9.3 shows that the vast majority of people like this show.

Meanwhile, compared to Weibo, the reviews here are much more calm.

"I was also very sad to see Zhao Ling'er die. But thinking about it carefully, it was expected. Director Yue, or rather, screenwriter Yue (laughs), they actually planted the seeds in the very first episode. Remember Qing'er's sacrifice? This is the destiny of the descendants of Nuwa. They are destined to sacrifice themselves for the sake of all living beings. This is the theme of this drama: destiny. Even though Li Xiaoyao went back ten years and sent Ling'er to the far west, he still couldn't change her fate. And the Sword Saint, he imprisoned Zhao Ling'er in the Demon Locking Tower. Wasn't he trying to help her escape her destiny? Unfortunately... his supernatural powers were no match for fate, and he ultimately failed to change it."

"I agree with the comment above. I guess Li Yi will have the same fate in the future. Sigh."

This is indeed the case.

In the sequel to the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, Li Yiru gave birth to her daughter Xiaoman. However, due to her father's condition, Xiaoman's constitution was incomplete and her true essence was incomplete. Furthermore, due to the influence of her own "Nuwa bloodline", she would excessively absorb her mother's spiritual power, causing her to be overwhelmed and in danger of losing her life if this continued.

In the end, Li Yiru transferred all her spiritual power to Xiaoman in an instant, saving Xiaoman's life, but she herself did not have much time left due to the depletion of her spiritual power.

He died young, in his early twenties.

It can be said that the identity of being a descendant of Nuwa is like a curse in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

Zixuan, Qing'er, Ling'er, Yiru... all died. Even Yiru's daughter, Xiaoman, took on the responsibility of being a descendant of Nuwa, using the Water Spirit Pearl as a medium to repair the water veins of the entire Demon Realm with the art of mending the heavens.

Closer to home.

The review section for the web series "Starry Sky" is constantly refreshing:

"Even though I cried like a baby, I still want to say that Chinese Paladin is really good."

"With the combined views of Youku and Bilibili, the total viewership of 'Chinese Paladin' has exceeded 10 billion, while 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy,' which aired around the same time, hasn't even reached 2 billion views yet. The difference is self-evident; without a doubt, this is a phenomenal hit masterpiece!"

"What makes the Legend of Sword and Fairy series so successful? In my personal opinion, it lies in the fact that You Mingyue, as the screenwriter and director, created characters that are both artistic and realistic. The artistic quality is the amplified trait of each character, such as Xiaoyao's chivalry, Yue Ru's infatuation, Ling'er's sense of responsibility, and Bai Yue's obsession. As for the realism, it is the helplessness and kindness that everyone has. Each character is worth learning from, liking, and appreciating."

"You Mingyue used the Legend of Sword and Fairy to tell the film and television industry, especially those companies that make fantasy dramas, that it's not that fantasy dramas are bad, but that you can't make a good Legend of Sword and Fairy!"

"The focus of fantasy is on chivalry, not immortality. In other fantasy novels, the immortals have lived for tens of thousands of years, yet they still destroy the three realms for the sake of love and romance, living a life of utter waste. But in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru, Anu... and so on, they are not very old, yet they make sacrifices for the common people. That's the scale! In a sense, this is also the difference in scale between screenwriters."

"Thank you, Youmingyue, for bringing us such an excellent fantasy drama. It shows us what true fantasy is, instead of just using fantasy as a cover for an idol drama!"

"You Mingyue has taught his peers a good lesson. In the future, when talking about Xianxia, ​​we will probably have to mention Xianjian."

"..."

Although many viewers commented that the "Youmingyue Blade" was too brutal and didn't consider whether the viewers' hearts could take it, countless viewers still came to Starry Sky Network to rate and comment on the TV series, and were generous with their praise.

at the same time.

Labels such as "phenomenal masterpiece", "early year blockbuster", and "peak masterpiece of Xianxia" have all been attached to "Chinese Paladin 1", and it is clear that this drama deserves them.

……

at the same time.

The creative team behind "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and Cheng Xiaoshu should have been happy and cheering when the Legend of Sword and Fairy series ended, but they couldn't be happy at all at this moment.

Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" aired earlier than "Chinese Paladin" and has more than ten more episodes, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still available.

However, the Legend of Sword and Fairy series raised the bar for viewers' aesthetic standards and expectations for fantasy dramas far too high.

Even said.

The moment the Legend of Sword and Fairy was released, it instantly became a god, reaching the pinnacle!

A pinnacle that its peers could hardly match was thus established by Youmingyue in the realm of fantasy dramas.

I will climb to the very top and look down on all the mountains below!

How can anyone surpass that?

It's fortunate that Divine Sword can maintain its current popularity, let alone surpass it.

Perhaps the only thing that can defeat the Legend of Sword and Fairy series is the sequel that Youmingyue is currently filming, namely Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.

It can be said.

In this clash, the Divine Sword has lost completely.

and.

With the legendary "Chinese Paladin" series setting such a high bar, it will be difficult to make future fantasy dramas.

If you make a fantasy drama, the audience will compare it to top-tier fantasy dramas like Chinese Paladin. How can anyone make one like that?

Do you think everyone is You Mingyue, capable of writing a script like that?

“King of Scrolls…” Cheng Xiaoshu said with a livid face.

……

"He's really a master of exaggeration." Not only Cheng Xiaoshu, but countless people in the film and television industry were saying the same thing at this moment, and many even had their lips twitching.

When the Legend of Sword and Fairy project was first launched, no one was optimistic about You Mingyue adapting it into a fantasy drama.

Saying that fantasy is a trap.
