6pm local Beijing time I think

C-ent relies heavily on favoritism and connection. It's hard to say about quality works etc, even the award being given based on celebrity status. Try watch We Are All Alone and Twilight (Ren Jialun n Angelababy) drama, there are some insights to entertainment world there. I don't know about XZ but I think his recent works on Tencent are not well taken care (like in the past) due to his tenure as Tencent Ambassador is no longer extended. Each platform will take care their designated spokesperson's works. XK works mostly on Tencent but I don't think he signed any exclusive deal.

I think the scar being put there to depict hard life of BLH when he was young. In the game, they show a bit of BLH younger self. I'm not sure drama side will cover that or not.

Have you watched Wonderland of Love? He is Li Ni. Unfavored child. Current Tencent leader got their fav child. He's same age group with the fav child. That's all.

The GBA title had to be given to him due to his overseas results. If you look at the treatment given by Tencent to WOL and S&F at tencent page in mainland, you would know this shouldn't be a treatment for a tencent big drama. While AASOL clearly receives big favors from Tencent, from schedule to promotion.

WOL's director is one of rare good director in C-ent, He put importance on quality of work. He once withdrew from big IP project because they modified the scripts and etc, not respecting him as director.

All these should be monitored by his agent and his company. Obviously they did nothing. Not to mention Court Lady and Royal Feast are his own company dramas. Putting him as ML is to attract investment, after they managed to get the money, they shove him aside.

Xu Kai has a dedicated haters group who would pay for bulk 1s star rating. So yeah, I don't really expect much from douban anyway. It's hard for the WoL production to get 6.4 rating, they have to nego with douban not to accept pay for 1s star rating. Most dramas pay for good relationship with douban. So their score won't be manipulated by haters.

They have the audacity to maintain the name "Snow Eagle Lord", when the character itself become side character in the drama. The average screentime also worst than Yang Hua where we clearly knew the story centered around heroine.

The data is unusual, let's just accept XK's drama won't have it easy everytime. C-ent is the world where money, reputation (fake one is also okay) and connection spinning around. XK is Li Ni, he's the unfavored son. 😂

no new eps today. they will resume back this saturday

Swag!😂 Rubbing on XueYing's face.

The filming script was being sold online. Many game fans bought it.

Today's 2 eps are soo good. Every characters are immersive with their roles. The foreshadowing of what happen next is so intriguing. I actually cried for YJZ when he found out he got no memories of who he is...

I'm so sad at this scene, he's so eager to find the memories, turns he got nothing. 😢

You need to re-evaluate this impression again. Even DB now heavily flooded with fans and haters. Their activity points down to just 4k real people. The rest are bots. Data buying really destroy the real people's voice.

I think Tencent already capped Xu Kai's drama at 24999. Other dramas which viewing data lower than his can still get 26k at the very least.

*That's why heat index WoL didn't increase. Of course, this was reported by people because when they clicked to buy the super-point for WoL, they got the viewing package of this niche drama.

Platform also prepared drama targeted for award-winning. Normally these dramas genre is niche-type, serious theme and rarely will be popular. But to win awards, they need to prove that this drama has significant impact in terms of data. Platform knows that for webcast, audience will rarely click on this drama to watch. So during airing of WoL, when people click on it, they were re-directed to the page of this niche drama. So here the presence of this drama already increased and platform just have to ensure they meet the data target. That's heat index WoL didn't increase.

Their reputation and word of mouth among general audience is very good. Can't say the same for popularity because this drama was used by tencent to save the heat of another 2 award-targeting dramas.
