If there’s an addendum to this show, it should be called, “The Fans Fought Back!”
Vlinkange released the stats for 11.03. That’s the last day that FoF released new episodes. The score was 82.64. The previous high was 83.47.
Despite its small marketing budget, the release of 2 big budget shows, and attempts to sabotage its performance and ratings, FoF declined by less than a point.
The shows fans…we…have really rallied to support it 🥹.
Despite those amazing hold numbers and obvious stickiness with the public, the dominant narrative the detractors are spreading is that FoF’s popularity has fallen off a cliff.
Remember, the first step of their marketing strategy is it to make one believe that what’s being watched isn’t worth watching.
The other amazing thing about the stats for FoF, is that Pearl Girl and LGiEF are not performing significantly better than FoF. Although they each have 2x the budget of FoF, an army of tweens and tweakers on SM, they ended the weekend less than 4 points higher than FoF.
I’m rewatching all of the episodes to get my fix until the newest episode airs tomorrow. There are so many Easter eggs. It’s almost worthy of having a hunt 😆
Hi. Just for your infoThis is actually from before the 2 new dramas were aired and topped the chart right away.…
That rating is the Yunhe rating not the Douban one. This Yunhe metric is what is referred to in the US as the “overnights”. The overnight viewership for those 2 shows was not high although their heat indexes were 😗
The link you shared is from November first, Atleast read it carefully before sharing🤦🏻♀️Yunhe views…
🤣🤣 why are you on this page, if you want to Stan that so much? It did start at the top of its heat index. And it is possible to go to #1 on the first day, especially with the amt of marketing they did. But they didn’t even make it into the top 3. Do you know anything about statistics? Both of those shows asked people to drink koolaid and they did. Actually, it sounds like you had 2 cups
The link you shared is from November first, Atleast read it carefully before sharing🤦🏻♀️Yunhe views…
It clearly says “Nov 1st” above, and the title of the metric includes. “Nov 1 (the day after)”. I have uploaded it so that everyone can see. Please follow your own advice.
LGiEF and Pearl Girl didn’t even make the Top 3 in spite of their high index scores on their opening night. This indicates that their index scores were not driven by viewership that day, but by their heavy marketing campaigns.
The viewership by market share as per Yunhe was:
Alley People 13.5% Splendid Tranquility 12.6% FoF 10.5%.
Yes, after everyone was told to drink the kool-aid, viewership followed marketing. However, even then the day-over-day growth in heat and viewership has been significantly lower than FoF’s first 3 days.
For everyone hating on the team for not embracing ZYZ in Episode 17, I think that FoF has made it clear that it has a meaning beyond ‘boy-trying-to-kiss-girl’ or ‘being-brave-to-overcome-life’s-challenges-to-succeed.
As better people than I have stated in several comments below, this story is very deep. It explores multiple moral dilemmas. Two that I can think of include: Does the end justify the means? (Ren Lui) Decisions have consequences…intended and unintended (Pei Siheng, Fei)
These are themes echoed throughout multiple Chinese philosophies, and in the legends on which FoF is based.
For the members of the Demon Hunting Squad, the morale dilemma is: To learn the balance between sternness and forgiveness
We just ended Act 2. I imagine the remaining acts will explore the latter in more detail. We already have foreshadowing of that with Pei Sijing’s arc.
The main leads and majority if not all the lead supports have been confirmed to be using their own voice.
Yep! They even sing on the Soundtrack. Each of the main has one or two songs. And they are joined by many of the supporting cast on the final song in the credits. They are super talented bunch of people!
It seems like she did! Those coats were seen throughout the bts/shooting! She also bought Christmas ornaments…
She’s had to overcome so much. Thank God she has amazing amounts of talent. The future challenge for her is that she is a real threat to her peers. And the TPTB has invested a lot of money in those women. I don’t know how they’ll handle a financial nobody interrupting their plans.
LOL. Thank God, the international audiences don’t agree with you. FIYS is the 2nd most popular c-drama ever…
💋. What really makes me upset is that several of these haters are fans of actresses who are no better than CX was in FIYS. As of FoF, they can’t even match her. Yet, the come here to bully because they know they their fav is in trouble if the industry gives CX a fair shot
Hope her next drama role will be in a wuxia drama. Wanna see her doing fighting scenes again. Cast her a a deadly…
Someone needs to show Chad Stahelski her work. He works with a lot of Hong Kong based wushu artists to create the fight scenes for movies like The Matrix and John Wick. She’d be perfect
It seems like she did! Those coats were seen throughout the bts/shooting! She also bought Christmas ornaments…
That’s really amazing. She’s the sole provider for her mother and little sister, and she doesn’t come from a wealthy family. Plus, she paid for her mother’s cancer treatment. That’s one of the reasons why she filmed The Chinese Restaurant show with a broken foot
LOL, the more that GJM is attacked, the more I know that he’s just being bullied.
Bring proof. You and I can go onto any SM and say that we were the first to invent the round tire. Saying something with pictures - especially, in a world where ChatGPT dominates - is not proof. Proof is when you can take that claim to Court because you have dates, testimonials, etc. if she has a patent then she has a case and should sue.
LOL, the more that GJM is attacked, the more I know that he’s just being bullied.
Based on the details you provided, it sounds like this case could have gone either way. In the case of Ed Sheeran, he used obvious components from the other song but he was found not guilty. In the case of Pharrell in a very similar case, he was found guilty. The point is plagiarism cases are rarely cut and dry. GJM’s case appears to be exacerbated by the fact that he is gay, in a culture that struggles with homophobia. I can easily see where he has to compromise to avoid being frozen out.
The fact that this statement, “GJM continues his war knowledge heterosexuality” was made on one of FoF’s most popular Douban videos and has 26K likes implies that an 18-year old plagiarism case involved in the hate he receives.
The problem that I have with the plagiarism claim is that his detractors use that one case and apply it all of his works without evidence. If you have evidence that FoF is plagiarized bring the exact passages, scenes and characters. Using characters and tales from 2000-year old legends is not plagiarism.
I say this as someone who hates the way that he treated Cheng Xiao at the beginning of filming. However being a terrible person does not mean that he is a terrible director or a serial plagiarist.
The Yunhe scores for Nov 1st indicate that the Esther Yu and Zhao Luisi heat index scores were driven by their large marketing campaigns, including the Douban sock puppet accounts used to discredit FoF just hours before those shows went live.
