The TV series "Traveling with Phoenix" starring Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin has come to an end. As of 10 a.m. on April 12, 2024, the average number of views of the feature film "Traveling with Phoenix" has reached 49.3 million, making it the most popular drama series in 2024. It ranked first in terms of average views, and also ranked first in cumulative views of the drama series in 2024. "Traveling with the Phoenix" is broadcast simultaneously on Tencent Video and Mango TV, and it has been the number one broadcast for 25 consecutive days on both platforms.
It can be said that "Traveling with the Phoenix" is the most popular drama in 2024, but Zhao Liying's fans are still dissatisfied. As soon as "Walking with the Phoenix" ended, fans began to post long articles to defend their rights to the studio, listing the top ten crimes against Zhao Liying's studio. Among these 10 charges, 4 are related to "Traveling with Phoenix". This shows how strict Zhao Liying's fans are when it comes to work. It also fulfills the saying: 85 fans, per capita career fans.
In fact, in the eyes of passers-by: "Traveling with the Phoenix" has a unique setting, a strong cast, and a compact plot, which has attracted the attention and love of a large number of viewers. Zhao Liying plays Shen Li, King of Blue Cang in the play, and is praised as the "Queen". This role is simply tailor-made for her. Shen Li's tenacity and wisdom are so vividly performed by Zhao Liying that people can't help but love her. Zhao Liying's outstanding performance in the drama also made her once again known as the "Queen of Popular Dramas".
I have to say that Zhao Liying’s market appeal is really admirable. But then again, Zhao Liying's market appeal is so strong, how much does it have to do with her fans? It has a lot to do with it. Behind every top streamer, there are thousands of fans working on data. Whether they are investors in film and television dramas or brand owners, they all value data. That's why fans interfere with Zhao Liying's work and criticize the studio.
Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: Fans are satisfied with Zhao Liying's performance, but the attitude of the studio is completely different. It's like a mother treating her son who doesn't live up to expectations, full of resentment but helpless. First of all, there is the issue of publicity. Fans feel that the studio is like a general who has lost a battle when it comes to promoting new dramas. There has been no movement for a long time, which makes people anxious to watch. What they expected was vigorous publicity, but what they got was silent firecrackers.
Let’s look at the Weibo copywriting. Fans questioned the studio’s copywriting level and felt that the promotional text was like a composition written by an elementary school student, simple, crude, and without charm. In the eyes of fans, this is not only disrespectful to themselves, but also disrespectful to Zhao Liying. The role of the studio is very important, it is like a bridge connecting artists and fans. Every move they make is related to the emotional flow of both parties. Although they work with fans in different ways, their goals are the same, which is to make Zhao Liying's brand shine even more.
In fact, the studio and fans are like a family, and everyone is devoting their efforts and enthusiasm to Zhao Liying's "family". I hope this family can always grow together harmoniously and beautifully. In 2021, it was reported on the Internet that Zhao Liying's studio led some fans to have a big v and start a battle with other artists. Weibo officially banned Zhao Liying's studio and some of Zhao Liying's fans' big v's, making outsiders laugh. Therefore, I hope that Zhao Liying’s studio will not be impulsive this time and will not quarrel with fans, otherwise both sides will suffer losses.
