Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 455: Chapter 452: Best Actress 19

Amidst the galloping horses, the female general firmly rode, constantly swinging her weapon in battle, occasionally performing high-difficulty evasions on horseback!

Watching the fast-running horse and the female general fighting skillfully on it, a sense of bloody warfare hit straight in the face! Each thrilling action unfolded on the screen, leaving the viewer, Meng Meiqi, holding her breath, breaking into a cold sweat for the female general on screen!

Suddenly, a close-up shot of the female general appeared in front of Meng Meiqi—a stunningly beautiful face, yet Meng Meiqi didn’t notice its beauty at all. All she saw were the spots of blood splattered across the face, and the intense, chilling killing aura between the brows!

Those pitch-black eyes looked over—cold and unfeeling, filled with infinite murder intent! Even though it was just a confrontation across the screen, that shot scared Meng Meiqi so much that her hair stood on end, making her involuntarily step back, and she collapsed onto the sofa!

Covering her heart with her hand, Meng Meiqi’s heart raced wildly! A sense of post-disaster fear arose spontaneously, as if that momentary glance allowed Meng Meiqi to feel the deep-seated fear the barbarians had for Qin Shuangshuang as recorded in history!

After the fear came boundless excitement, ”This is General Qin! It’s General Qin!”

Meng Meiqi could hardly suppress the urge to scream and jump; despite her age, she was as excited as a child. In this world, there really was a female actor capable of portraying the unmatched charisma of the famed general Qin Shuangshuang!

Afterward, Meng Meiqi forcibly suppressed her excitement, her eyes glued to the TV without missing any scene featuring Qin Shuangshuang. Soon, two episodes aired, leaving Meng Meiqi itching for more, feeling that these short two episodes were like scratching an itch through a boot—far from satisfying.

Deeply immersed in Ning Shuangshuang’s acting, Meng Meiqi immediately went online to search and binge-watch all the episodes she had missed!

However, instead of easing her cravings, it only made her want more; Meng Meiqi was anxious about the upcoming plot, pacing around the room restlessly, unable to focus her thoughts away from the drama she had watched.

Even while eating, she couldn’t forget the storyline. After staying up late to rewatch the episodes again, Meng Meiqi impulsively wrote a film review!

The entertainment industry is flourishing nowadays, with numerous movie review sites on the internet. Among them, the largest movie review site has a traffic of billions, where many film critics recommend their favorite movies.

Of course, although they are called film critics, TV dramas always have a larger audience than movies, so these critics rate both TV dramas and movies.

If a critic gains enough attention, they can receive requests to recommend certain movies and TV dramas. The more famous they are, the more money they can earn from each review!

Since this industry relies on reputation, although some write reviews carelessly for money, top-tier critics with millions or even tens of millions of followers choose very carefully the movies or shows they recommend.

Every review from these critics must be of something they’ve seen, often many times, before writing. All reviews must be fair and impartial, with as little personal bias as possible.

If a movie or TV drama isn’t good, critics often choose not to write a review, even if it means losing money. Recommending bad titles could ruin their hard-earned popularity, which is the basis of their income.

Indeed, while these top critics are often heavily commercialized and recommend for financial gain, they undeniably offer viewers wanting to watch thrilling movies or TV dramas but afraid of picking duds a great curated selection.

Nonetheless, these critics do not simply recommend for monetary gain; if they encounter a movie or TV drama they truly love, they will recommend it voluntarily and lavishly praise it!

Meng Meiqi is a top-tier film critic with over ten million followers! Now completely captivated by Ning Shuangshuang’s acting, she couldn’t help but excitedly publish a rave review of Ning Shuangshuang online!

”Hello everyone, I am Meiqi. As those who follow me know, I am a staunch opponent of any film adaptation of the legendary female general Qin Shuangshuang. It’s not that I dislike Qin Shuangshuang; it’s because I like her too much to tolerate anyone sullying my General Qin.”

”However, I must say, I am taking back that statement! Now, there is someone who can truly bring General Qin to life! This person is the newcomer actress Ning Shuangshuang, promoted by the genius director Fang Jian!”

”I have to say, the genius director lives up to his reputation. His discerning vision hit the mark once again by choosing Ning Shuangshuang, a shining pearl! Here, I must offer self-reflection, as my ongoing disappointment in actors failing to successfully portray my goddess Qin Shuangshuang led me to an extreme—resolute opposition to anyone playing General Qin. But this was a mistake; it almost caused me to miss out on an excellent actor who can bring Qin Shuangshuang to life!”

”I initially avoided watching this new drama due to my goddess Qin Shuangshuang’s inclusion. Not until today, when I unexpectedly saw my mother watching it at home, did I watch it for the first time; fortunately, the first scene I saw was Ning Shuangshuang’s portrayal of Qin Shuangshuang fighting the barbarians!”

”In this drama, I saw a true ancient female general. She did not have the lavish costumes rivals often wore; instead, she wore cold, bloodstained armor. She had no pretty hair accessories, just a simple yet messy bun. She did not have meticulously polished makeup highlighting beauty; just a face covered by dust and blood, weathered to a dry yellow. I could even see her lips cracking from dryness!”

”Mounted on horseback, she let the horse run freely, showcasing the harshness of battle. Numerous full-body close-ups showed us there were no stunt doubles, no fake horses, no stationary poses; she truly acted on a galloping horse!”

”This depiction of General Qin without any beautification feels incredibly real, as if that iron-blooded Great General Qin on the border city from history came to life. She needed no elaborate makeup, yet one glance from her could fill us with terror, letting us understand the fear the barbarians felt facing General Qin!”
