Fated Hearts climbed back to #4 on Yunhe chart on December 13, after 73 days since its airing.

This really shows the long-tail effect of a good drama even more than two months after it finished airing.
Meanwhile, the #1–#3 spots are held by currently airing dramas.
I’d also like to congratulate Yu Shuxin and He Yu’s Dual Track for breaking 10,000, as well as Cheng Yi’s new drama for breaking 10,000 too (based on the charts).

Everyone is truly well deserved 👏👏

Thank you for letting me know. You became one of his fans because you like his dramas. Many people like to say that he’s popular only because of his looks (personally, he’s not my type of handsome, I’m usually more drawn to a Western look), but in reality, many fans don’t like him just for that. It’s because of the characters he plays in his dramas. His real self doesn’t overlap with any of the characters he portrays at all.

Including me, I like him because I enjoy watching him in dramas, and after that, I also came to like his personality.

You can open it in Chrome, there’s a built-in feature to translate the website into English. I can’t read Chinese either, so I always use Chrome to help translate it for me. This is actually the first time I’ve invested this much as a fan of an actor I like LOL.

I don’t think it’s necessary to mention this here. The OP didn’t say anything about him being better or more talented than others and as CZY’s fans, no one here is bragging about him being ranked No. 1 or asking everyone to send him flowers.
You can read back through the comments to see that.

The number of flowers simply reflects fans who choose to spend money on him, it’s not because he’s an Oscar winner or anything like that. I do agree with you about those actors as well, they deserve recognition for their talent.
However, it’s also not CZY’s fault if other talented actors don’t receive as many flowers as they deserve.

Ultimately, it depends on whether fans are willing to support and spend money on them, just like with any popularity award. CZY’s fans are trying to stay low-key, and we don’t go around bragging about it or discrediting other actors. At the same time, we don’t want to be told that he shouldn’t rank highly or that he doesn’t deserve it compared to other talented actors.
Simply put, these rankings are based on fan support, not the actor alone.
If someone chooses him as their favorite, it could be because of his looks (which I don’t think are objectively better than others), or his acting yes, as you said, he may not be the most outstanding but there’s something about him or his dramas that makes people like him. It’s really that simple and easy to understand.

I understand. It’s better to avoid those haters. They dislike him simply because they think he’s quite popular, that’s all. They judge other people’s favorites just because their tastes are different and in the end, it comes down to envy over how much love he receives. It’s just human nature.

And yes, he has antis in China too. Almost every artist does, especially rising stars.

You’re welcome. As fans of CZY, we should stay mentally strong 😉

Tomorrow more event! yeah!

I would absolutely love to see him take on a modern romance drama for his next role 🥺

Sorry, I just saw your message.
The standee characters are:

- Cheng Yi’s three characters from two dramas 😆 he’s really popular and has a huge fanbase, happy for him.
- Deng Wei
-Liu Yuning
-Bai Lu
-CZY
-Yang Mi
-Ao Ruipeng
-Li Qin
-Liu Shishi
-Li Yitong

Surprisingly, Fated Hearts has appeared in the Top 5 of the Yunhe Popularity Chart for two consecutive days again (5-6 December) ! The long-tail effect of a good drama is really showing 😊 The drama aired 66 days ago.

I think your friend has fully adopted the toxic side of Chinese fandom culture, insulting artists who aren’t her favorites, excessively praising only her fave and always competing. This kind of behavior suggests she might even be jealous of the actors or actresses she insults, simply because she can’t accept that others are also loved by many fans.

Everyone has their own favorites when it comes to the stars they like.
I’ve never forced anyone to like CZY, nor have I gone to his every drama page just to hype him up. I only do basic things like posting about the storyline or discussing the trailers on his drama pages. I also don’t insult other actors or actresses because I know they are loved by their own fans and it has nothing to do with me. If I don’t like a drama, I just keep it to myself and move on, it’s just a drama. Whether a show is good depends on many factors, not the actors alone. I prefer to let the audience decide for themselves. A fan is someone who likes an artist not just when they’re popular, but even when they’re being criticized or going through a low point, someone who appreciates their work and personality, and stays with them through both the ups and downs.

So it’s best to just ignore your friend. It’s not worth engaging with someone who has such a toxic mindset. At the end of the day, she’ll be the one who ends up unhappy, because popularity never lasts forever.

Yes! That’s why C-netizens are mocking the platform awards, they see them as a joke and not real achievements.
If we’re talking about awards with true recognition in China, like the Magnolia Awards, those focus on quality, not popularity.
Or major film awards like the Golden Rooster Awards for example, Jackson Yee won Best Actor this year because he’s genuinely talented.
He doesn’t cling to an idol image, he fully transforms into every character he plays, becoming a completely different person each time.
He truly deserved the award and no one disagreed.
Receiving an award like that, one based on real achievement is something to be proud of.

That’s not correct, the award Li Qin received was based on fan voting, not one given directly by iQiyi, so they couldn’t avoid awarding her. They even made a mistake and gave the award in some order to the wrong person… and fans are protesting because they spent money to vote. It’s been trending on Weibo since last night.
And if CZY had attended, they would definitely have come up with some award name for him as well, especially since Feng Suige’s character has already exceeded 300 million views on the platform. To be honest, even some of the people who received awards haven’t reached that level.

They literally gave an award to almost everyone who attended.
My point is, it’s better not to pay too much attention to awards that don’t hold any real value.

It did receive an award, but I don’t remember the exact category because iQiyi created so many awards and gave them to almost every drama even TWOT got one.
I saw on Weibo that C-netizens were complaining that the iQiyi Scream Night was really boring, since they gave an award to everyone who attended with whatever award name they could come up with. It went on for too long and nothing felt special.
According to C-netizens on Weibo, they were just handing out awards for the sake of it, which made the awards feel meaningless and without real value.

🤣🤣🤣 Okay, my friend!

Yeah! Once he’s completely back to normal, he can do proper action or fight scenes again like in FH!! 😉

You really are a true Yuanyuan fan! 🤝🤝🤝

From early last year until now, I really believe things happen for a reason and there’s always glory on the other side 😎.
Yuanyuan has been so calm, enduring so much without ever playing the victim, despite all the rumors and all the misfortune that attack him when he did nothing wrong 😕… and now everything is finally turning back in his favor 🙃.
And I just love FH so much 😆, it’s a drama I can rewatch endlessly.
Can’t wait for his next drama!

And he shot three dramas in a row while those things were still in his body 🥺
On top of that, he was bullied by that crazy guy and that awful crew 😭

Man! The hook is really long and quite big and there were five steel nails too? 😵
He only rested for five days after the surgery and then went straight back to filming Chasing Dreams. No wonder he looked like he was in so much pain.
This man is really working hard.
