Actress like Jing Tian and other veteran actors don't need fanbase at their age, they already got general recognition and audience. Fanbase is mostly among young actors where the fans are around the age of young adolescence who plays internet. For example, idols have large fanbase but that doesn't guarantee their drama will have large audience since audience comes from all ages, most of them will click on drama where the actors they are familiar with.

Chinese Paladin series are all big IP. They already have game fanbase so reaching 1m reservations should be expected. WOL is not IP, it's an original script, there are no book fans to support the viewing, it all relies on marketing, audience chassis of the starring actors and fans of the author.

He plays 2 sides. He responded to the situation that will benefit him more.

Costume dramas have high requirements for standard Mandarin. Xu Kai is still being dubbed by VA for costume drama. He will use his own voice for modern drama.

Agree with you, I also thought that added this plot for the tension between ML/FL and also giving screentime to the magical doctor, it was a good plot but I was hoping better laid out.

I think the plot where Great General Cui going mad is believable as he once was a great commander who commanded 100k army but reduce to nobody. but it was not being laid out clearly in the drama, probably they cut some scenes. Same goes with Lady Gu's mad ending.

"The sharp intelligence that was highlighted in the early episodes wasn't retained in the final part of the drama." - I haven't finish watching yet but I have notice this too as story progress. I just hope the logic didn't faltered.

Could have been done by him like the climbing up the cliff in Dance of the Sky Empire. There was 1 climbing tower scene in Court Lady done by Xu Kai himself but unfortunately it was being cut out from drama.

It got good reviews in general but it's hard to reach wider audience as internal conflict in Tencent resulting in suppressing the heat index and also for today super point, watchers were redirected to another drama when they click pay for advance episodes. Their heat was stole by another drama. Hope it can reach more watchers in the future.

If you keep up with marketing, you will always be popular. Have 1 very popular drama and maintain popularity from there.

To maintain traffic and reputation need back up and money. Otherwise you face blizzards.

The marketing blowing in China that cause the fans to develop arrogant behaviour. They trample those without fans and marketing. In order to uplift their favourites, they step on others. Whenevr there's fandom fight, Xu Kai will normally show up on chat with fans to deviate them from further fighting. But you cannot control everyone.

Congratulation! All of his dramas broadcast well in overseas. He let the audience experience the drama themselves without influence of marketing like in China. 👏

They believe all rumours spread about him. and they are competing for resources so those with capital and money pay to spread negative things.

From BTS, Xu Kai looks drained and traumatised. His feeling already numb. https://twitter.com/XuKaiAlbum2/status/1727275241238618334?t=o3-yM8E0BLL9_Ow6yODYiw&s=19

He reacts accordingly, never try to "scream" he is there with his expression.

If she really is part of the game, I won't forgive her. That's low man....

Yes, the emotion is not yet settled then another tragedy struck 1 by 1. Please have some mercy on him.

Please...Please let Liu Chengfeng die in painful death. This is his 2nd time he did to Zhenxi Army. Please let he dies like Youde suffered.

This is too much. 😭 I can't imagine how Li Ni gonna handle it. The feeling is too heavy...
