　　The summer phenomenon-level weekly drama "Hua Qiangu" ushered in the finale the night before yesterday. The story of Hua Qiangu and Shangxian Baizi’s painting finally came to an end after a summer of abuse to the audience. For a time, discussions on related topics occupied the major pages of the online platform. The users of "Hua Qiangu" on iQIYI reached 319 million, which was much 140 million higher than the previous "You from the Stars" that could squeeze the server in minutes. The total number of bullet comments was as high as 7.345 million, a well-deserved "national drama".

　　Finale, complained

　　Slot Point 1: The Most "Twisted" Romance in History

　　In the finale, Hua Qiangu and Baizi Hua finally had the most "twisted" love in history: they spent most of their time torn for love, neither one died nor said I love you, and the other died to listen to I love you. If you kill me, I will not resist you and then commit suicide. If you abuse me, I will abuse you, but I will regret saying I love you when you die. Many pages were used by Hua Qiangu to mutter and tear inside, and the voiceover was really annoying to hear. In order to cut off the love thread, Baizi Hua even peeled and deboned, and the degree of abuse escalated to the highest point. Some netizens concluded, "There is a kind of sadomasochistic love called the Painted Bone couple. After they abused us for 58 episodes, they finally reversed the ending at the last minute, but they didn’t even leave a kiss." Fortunately, Moyan, the senior brother of Baizi Painting, who usually hated Hua Qiangu to the bone, exchanged his life for the rebirth of Xiaogu.

　　However, after watching the last two episodes, many netizens expressed their intention to "beat" the editor for the messy editing. "After chasing the drama for more than 3 months, the blood kiss was first deleted, and now the jealousy kiss has been removed. I respect Lonely Millennium for finally falling in love, and you have also deleted 2 kissing scenes!" Viewers who did not follow up on the sadistic plot said they "don’t understand" the language of "Hua Qiangu" fans. In fact, the plot is like this: In order to anger Master Baizi Hua, Xiaogu pretended to be dyed with his subordinate bamboo, but Baizi Hua was jealous, so the "jealous kiss" was widely circulated on the Internet. But when it was officially broadcast, this kiss scene was removed again. What the audience couldn’t accept was that the previous kiss scene between Hua Qiangu and Dongfang was preserved, but the kiss scene with the male lead was deleted? This is really against the mentality of great reunion for the painting bone powder.

　　Phenomenal fairy drama

　　Winner of the 14-week rating championship Super "Gu Jian"

　　The show’s ratings have been high all the way, constantly breaking the ratings record of domestic weekly dramas, and becoming the phenomenon-level ancient costume fairy drama with the highest attention this year. "Hua Qiangu" currently sets the highest audience rating of China’s weekly dramas, and the total video views of the whole network exceed 15 billion. According to statistics, "Hua Qiangu" went LIVE on the first day and topped the TV series ratings list of the same period. Since then, it has been the national network ratings champion for a full 14 weeks. During the broadcast period, the national network single episode has the highest ratings of 3.83% and the highest ratings share of 24.73%, far exceeding the record set by last summer’s "Gu Jian Qi Tan". It has also killed many dramas broadcast in the prime schedule.

　　Young audiences focus on aesthetic visual experience

　　Talking about the behind-the-scenes success of "Hua Qiangu" and how the TV series attracts audiences, in the traditional view that the script is the most important, the producer Tang Lijun believes that the visual experience brought by the beautiful ink painting style to the TV series is very important. "Now is an era of information bombardment. At first glance, the picture is so beautiful. This person is very beautiful and has a good appearance. Then you care about the plot. The last thing is the topic and marketing." There are indeed post-90s viewers who say this, "Tired of watching the small streets and alleys of Hengdian, I suddenly moved the filming location to Guilin, where the landscape is the best in the world, and my field of vision suddenly broadened a lot." In addition, the popularity of Hunan Satellite TV’s summer program, which focuses on young audiences, has not decreased. Last year, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was also launched in July, so when "Hua Qiangu" decided to launch in June, although it was not finished in the later stage, the team still stayed up for two nights to rush out of the broadcast tape. Later, it turned out that the practice of grabbing the "summer program" was very wise. It is reported that the "Hua Qiangu" web drama of the same name will be broadcast on iQIYI on the 15th.
