📊 Comparative Coefficients

The Reason I Don’t Tag Yunhe Data for SLY

Yunhe’s data for SLY is not normal compared to other dramas on the same platform and during airing. See below:

🥭 Past Popular 🥭 TV Yunhe Coefficients

  • Popular 🥭 TV dramas (e.g., My Human Fireworks, Go to Windy Places, and others) show average coefficients in the range of 0.27–0.36.
  • Qiyi dramas consistently record higher coefficients, averaging around 0.4–0.5.

⚠️ Shui Long Yin Anomaly

  • During its airing, Yunhe’s coefficient for SLY started at 0.2 and dropped to 0.023, the LOWEST NUMBER AND AVERAGE COEFFICIENT given to any drama in Yunhe’s history. Everyone knows Yunhe’s coefficient is lower for 🥭 dramas, but this is unprecedented.
  • While all other data metrics from 🥭 and third parties were strong, they contradicted Yunhe’s numbers. All other strong metrics from many third-party data mentioned above are sufficient proof of SLY’s performance during airing

🐱 Why I Use Maoyan Data Instead

  • Company scale & credibility
    • Maoyan (Cat’s Eye) is a publicly traded company with ~900 staff, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
    • Yunhe, by contrast, has only 2 staff paying social security, with a debt-to-investment ratio of 137%.
    • Maoyan, as a large public company, is not biased and has no hidden motives compared to Yunhe.
  • 📉 MIGU integration failure
    • A few months before SLY’s airing, there was an attempt to integrate MIGU data (state-owned company) with Yunhe (based on leaked bidding documents).
    • The attempt failed because Yunhe did not meet MIGU’s high standards.
    • Yunhe pressured MIGU by assigning the lowest coefficient in history to SLY.

🔢 Adjusted Calculation

  • If Yunhe had used the normal coefficient for 🥭 dramas (around 0.3), then SLY’s broadcast numbers would be more comparable with Maoyan data and actually higher.
  • This reflects all other strong metrics from larger and more reputable data companies, including Rating China- CVB issuer on SLY data strength.

📈 SLY Graphic Viewing Pattern Consistency

  • Comparing Mango front desk views daily, SLY’s chart mimicked normal human activity:
    • Slight rise in the morning , higher climb at lunchtime 🍴, Drop in the afternoon 🌤️, Big rise again during prime time 📺, Decline after 10pm and continue downward during sleeping hours 🛌
  • This is consistent with the majority of SLY viewers being professional working age.
  • There were no sudden surges at all, meaning the data is dry and no water. This trend was consistent from beginning to end.

🎭 Comparison with Other Dramas

  • Another drama airing at the same time (non-Mango, non-Qiyi) was assigned a Yunhe 0.5 coefficient, while SLY received 0 extra in between.

🤯 How Absurd is This Yunhe Algorithm for SLY Coefficient?

  • Say Yunhe’s average coefficient for this drama is 0.03 (in reality closer to 0.025).
  • To achieve 40M/episode based on Yunhe–SLY algorithm, 🥭 front desk views must be 60 billion views, which is 7.3× world population 🌍.
  • Even if Tang Li Ci brought down Tianren realm to Shenzhou and everyone watched Shui Long Yin, it would still not be enough views… 😂😂😂

Kwanto, thank you so much for all this! Consider editing your original post to add more information, or reply after this comment of mine? I believe a thread summarising all the achievements for WoF would be fantastic, and this knowledge is your specialty.

I must add the two comments that you once shared, pertaining to Yunhe:

More than 19 days ago: https://kisskh.at/755725-shui-long-yin#comment-24241136

[ SLY’s first 10,000 seat celebration concert has been announced, with 2 more cities (+maybe Singapore) awaiting announcement. This marks the largest celebration scale in C drama history.

SLY Merchandise sales already no 1 in 2025 despite disputes over the 1,999Rmb TLC bracelet 3 days ago.

SLY 🥭 front end views have surpassed 3.8+B and are on track to hit 4B next week, the 2023-2025 record holder is 4.1B views👀 (during V30 period)

Yunhe’s “BIG gift” to SLY? The lowest coefficient ever. One glance, link bellow, you see how crazy it is 😂

[  Yunhe got exposed— iResearch found LCR 2.2 billion 🐧 views, top 4 in ‘22, despite airing during the CCP’s 20th anniv. (no marketing allowed). I posted this data on LCR page that time—BIG proof Yunhe can’t access viewership #. As for iResearch—🥝 is their client + dozen of provincial C gov. Huace ranked top 3 most profitable drama, Tencent turned profitable for the first time in 2022. ]
