It’s always like this in C-ent. Shows get absolutely roasted on a regular basis(my fave is always getting roasted, every freaking show😭) but people should remember that stars are human too. There’s been a lot of out of proportion bullying of young actresses lately and it’s too ugly.

Ngl, I dropped this drama and wasn’t going to come back abut after seeing the live broadcast, I want to give it another chance. Those of you who love it, can you send me some clips of highlights or reasons why you like it? I have friends who are also into Cdramas and will use them to Amway the drama.

Honestly, I don’t really care. I’ve already dropped the drama and now won’t go back due to this convo. I hope this show broadcasts well for the leads though. They seemed to have really put their hearts into it and deserve the fruits of that work.

Lol, there are indeed actresses who are not good looking and have an even bigger base and more solid footing than her. Her face attracts fans but her face doesn’t matter to an investor, what matters is her fan base because fan base= potential customers/revenue. The bit about luck is because the previous comment low-key trashed other actresses for no reason. Loving YCY is fine but there’s no need to pull others down to do so. I’m also not sure why you’re arguing with me. I’ve been speaking for YCY on this page and on the feeds. I’ve even watched some her dramas using official channels to give her views.

You can also watch some of the Xiao Feng only cuts. They’re in Chinese and you have to be able to access Bilibili but when I have time, I can post links to the cute cuts.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I was not saying YCY is not beautiful and does not deserve her fan base but that beauty alone will not make an actress popular/able to get S resources. The OP was stating that she was getting FL roles based off her beauty but in the world of traffic, the size of her fan base is a more powerful bargaining chip. There are many reasons why a beauty is or isn’t popular and sometimes it’s down to luck , so there’s no need to trash other actresses. It gives a bad impression to others.

Yeah, this is true. The size of her base might protect her but I’ve seen plenty of idols with lower ranked dramas be downgraded/axed for not performing. This idea that people can just blast her and it won’t matter isn’t quite fair.
I hope her company will get her some training though. It’s really not fair to put someone in a big role like this without ensuring they have ability; it’s too much pressure and this actress is quite young. It’s almost like exploitation. If Wang Yixu is serious about producing high quality dramas using idol actors then he should set up a proper training camp; go back to the old ways. Look at Wu Ershan and what the Fengshen training camp produced and achieved. I also look at when the actress I like was recruited by her former company, how they sent her to acting training and then had her mentored by an award winning actress. The results it produced led to a classic character on her debut.

Actually it’s not her beauty supporting her for FL roles but her fan base as an idol. There are plenty of beauties who are not popular in C-ent (much to my lament) and plenty of plain girls doing really well. However, if her popularity can’t translate to support a drama, then there is the real possibility that there will be effects. It all depends on how investors/backers feel.

This! The reason a show flutters has more than one factor. This show suffers from script and character setting problems as well as poor direction too. I hate when people blame the actresses/actors because many of the issues with shows fall on the director. What do these Cdrama directors get paid for!? And how come they always seem to escape the blame? The director should have been guiding YCY at S+ pay. She’s still newish to acting and needs guidance. And tbh, I stopped watching this show for the time being and it wasn’t because of YCY, but because of the poor direction.
Edit to Add:
And it is doubly gross to blame YCY for the show’s struggles because it’s mostly her fans protecting the show. Whenever I go looking at the comments on Weibo to see how it’s developing, it’s very rarely her fans complaining about it or publicly announcing they’re dropping it.

It depends on the angle. Douban matters to some extent because a good score can get ppl to watch which increases the play back volume but I think the key KPIs if a show has a low Douban score is the heat index, playback volume, and rankings if both leads want to keep getting S+ resources. I heard it’s still stuck at around the 8000s and the broadcast effect was S; those stats are the most worrying. For DYX this may be less of a problem since he’s willing to play 2nd and MLs with his acting skills aren’t usually willing to do so. He also gained fans and reached the 10 million fans mark. His problem would come in quality of drama for first billing roles because of poor word of mouth but his reputation seems to still be intact and he’s young and it looks like he has resources so there’s still time. YCY feels more precarious as she’s been playing the first billing. S+ as an S is basically losing money. Investors may be scared to give her an S+ in the future and Wang Yixu may not want to use her. Luckily she has Chongzi though with decent playback so hopefully her career won’t be affected too much either.
I also think it doesn’t help to put all the blame on actresses like some have been doing. It’s not like she isn’t trying and I feel like she has little choice over which dramas she does being an idol. For a show to explode, passerby fans are needed too and if people see a continuous history of blaming actresses, it will put off current and future watchers of his shows.

It’s the same producer as well so there will be similar vibes.

The romance was really sweet without being too sugary. I’ve watched the show so many times because of this.

Yes, but he doesn’t get far at all.

Her makeup artist is very good. They really paid attention to YCY’s facial features to highlight her beauty. A lot of makeup teams don’t do that anymore.

Yeah it’s been making the charts since it started filming though it had zero materials so that’s good.

It must if it’s setting all this up. Hoping this show does well. So many ppl have pinned their hopes on it but it feels like it’s the unexpected ones that succeed.

Yes and no. The producer did run into popularity issues just as this was being shot and that could have affected investments. Now they’ve had a hit show and Xiao Ran has had her face shown more on TV so funding is possibly easier. It could also be that a platform hasn’t seemed to have bought it yet and maybe one just did based off results. I don’t mind if the promotion is good. If it’s to make sure the show has the proper funding to market, I’d prefer a delay.

Chen MinZheng how can you sleep at night costuming such a beautiful woman so poorly?!?

This is what Ji Man should have looked like:
