This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 184: The Tale of the Female Physician Sweeps Asia!
After thanking Sha Yi, Shu Chang took the ice pack from him and pressed it on her wrist, which was swollen and sore from signing autographs for four consecutive hours.

“Changchang, you’re pushing yourself too hard. This isn’t how you work. I’ll have someone cancel your autograph sessions for tomorrow and the day after. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, I’m afraid your brother will beat me up.”

Shu Chang forced a smile at Sha Yi and said with a smile:

"After all, so many people have been queuing for almost half a day to see me, it would be really embarrassing to leave halfway through."

Saya sighed, but was also quite impressed. The Japanese truly deserve to be called the birthplace of East Asian idol worship; their enthusiasm is just too damn high!
No, the main reason is that "The Legend of the Female Physician" is just too outrageous!

At the beginning of this year, "The Legend of the Imperial Physician" premiered on CCTV-1, immediately sparking a "Wanzhen craze" across the country.
Since the TV series aired during the Spring Festival, any New Year's goods related to "The Legend of the Imperial Doctress" were guaranteed to sell like hotcakes.

As the TV series aired repeatedly, almost everything in it, from food and clothing to daily necessities, gained widespread popularity.

According to statistics, three to four hundred traditional Chinese medicine health centers, medicinal cuisine restaurants, and Ming Dynasty imperial cuisine restaurants have sprung up in major cities across China, and they are still expanding.

There are countless other small stalls selling kimchi, handmade soy sauce, loquat syrup, and natural skincare products.

Previously, Sha Yi saw some newspapers and media comparing "The Story of a Female Physician" with "Princess Pearl". He simply regarded it as the media's usual exaggeration and the company's own paid promotional material.

However, as the influence of "The Legend of the Female Physician" spread, Sha Yi realized that it was not an exaggeration. In terms of its impact on society, "The Legend of the Female Physician" could really rival "Princess Pearl"!
This is simply unbelievable; whenever Sha Yi thinks about it, he feels like he's dreaming.

Although Shu Chang, the sister of Boss Chen, is the absolute protagonist in "The Legend of the Female Doctor," and the entire plot revolves around her, Sha Yi, who plays the Imperial Guard, is also the nominal male protagonist!

His popularity soared as the TV series was introduced to other regions, even reaching beyond mainland China.

"The Healer" was broadcast on Hong Kong's TVB television station. According to statistics, out of Hong Kong's total population of over 600 million, more than 250 million people watched the drama.

After being introduced by Taiwan's CTV, it quickly set a new record for the highest viewership in the history of Taiwanese television dramas.

The trend of food and health preservation, inspired by the novel "The Story of a Female Physician," has also spread here, with medicinal cuisine restaurants springing up on the streets and the "traditional Chinese medicine craze" growing stronger and stronger.

Ming Dynasty clothing was also highly praised, its fame spreading far and wide.

In Taiwan, there have even been "Traditional Chinese Culture Bride Training Classes" that teach brides-to-be traditional Chinese culture, including etiquette related to food.

Although it contains a lot of feudal cultural dross, it is, after all, Taiwan, so it is understandable. This also directly reflects the powerful influence of "The Legend of the Female Physician".

The filming locations for "The Legend of the Healer" have become tourist attractions, and travel agencies in various places have launched "The Legend of the Healer" cultural experience tours.

This drama also sparked a strong viewing frenzy in Japan, a country within the traditional Confucian cultural sphere!

He and Shu Chang are currently in Tokyo, Japan, where they were invited by MBS (Mainichi Broadcasting System) to do promotions.

Because of Mr. Chen's good relationship with Sony, "The Story of a Healer" was sold to MBS TV station, where Sony is a major shareholder, through this connection. After being re-dubbed and edited, it was broadcast in May of this year.

MBS is a strong regional station, but it can't compare to Japan's traditional five major core stations.
However, during the airing of "The Story of a Doctor," its viewership ratings gradually soared to third place in all of Japan.

Even in areas like Tokyo, where MBS television coverage is relatively low, a large number of viewers watched "The Story of a Doctor".

Documentaries, feature films, and other audio-visual products about "The Story of a Female Physician" are all bestsellers.

Shu Chang is currently very popular because of her signing a beautifully bound cookbook, "A Bite of the Ming Dynasty," which details all the delicacies that appeared in TV dramas. This has led to her wrists becoming swollen from signing so many books.

Seeing how successful "The Doctor" was, distributors from other regions also approached Metaverse to negotiate the rights to broadcast the series.

For example, the three major South Korean television stations have been vying for the broadcasting rights to "The Healer," and the copyright fee has now been driven up to 1500 million RMB or more.

Although "The Legend of the Female Physician" did not have the same concentrated and prominent promotional effect on Changhong Group as "The Legend of Seven Swords,"
However, its role in promoting traditional Chinese culture, such as cuisine, traditional Chinese medicine, Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), and official documents, far surpasses that of "Seven Swords Legend".

Its advertising effect actually far exceeded that of "Seven Swords Legend"!
This exceptionally strong cultural export not only boosted Sha Yi's popularity but also garnered countless honors and praises. Both national government agencies and non-governmental organizations frequently expressed their gratitude to the "The Legend of the Imperial Doctress" production team and the Metaverse. According to statistics from financial media with official backing, the success of "The Legend of the Imperial Doctress" brought significant economic benefits, creating at least 3 new jobs.

The impact on GDP reached 10 to 20 billion RMB.

This is just the impact caused by the TV series after only six months of airing.
Over the next decade, the influence of this drama will continue to play a role, and the comprehensive benefits brought by its derivative industrial chain will be immeasurable.

It's easy to imagine that "The Legend of the Female Physician" is so popular, from official circles to ordinary people, that it will win numerous awards.

The lead actors of "The Legend of the Healer" will not be filming for the next six months. Instead, they will travel to various countries to promote the drama and Chinese culture.

Sha Yi owes his success today entirely to Boss Chen's appreciation. The company treats him extremely well, and he is determined to work hard for Boss Chen to repay his kindness.

After the broadcast of "Meteor Shower," An Zhijie's popularity skyrocketed among young people.
Many of his fans and media outlets jokingly called An Zhijie the "number one" in the metaverse. Sha Yi appeared calm on the surface and even took the initiative to "tease" An Zhijie, but he was still very unwilling inside.

After all, they joined the company together. He was at least a graduate of the PLA Academy of Arts, while An Zhijie was just a model who entered the industry halfway through his career.

Although being the company's number one is just a title with little practical effect, everyone wants to be number one, right?
Now that he has the legendary TV series "The Legend of the Female Physician" as his retirement insurance, Sha Yi's mentality is as stable as an old dog.

Despite having countless fans and now starring in Tsui Hark's new big-budget film "Seven Swordsmen," An Zhijie isn't in a hurry at all.

The company will have many film projects coming up, so he will naturally be able to get a lot of resources.

Although the metaverse doesn't have many well-known directors besides Mr. Chen, it has a lot of well-known screenwriters.

Mr. Chen has also put a lot of effort into cultivating film talent. Films made by people from the Yuan Universe are not necessarily inferior to the works of established directors outside.

Unlike Sha Yi, who was highly motivated in her career, Shu Chang, who was comparable to Zhao Yanzi, who became a huge star because of "Princess Pearl", was troubled by her excessive popularity.

She knew her brother was very good to her, but was it a bit too much to say that one drama made her a star who was famous all over Asia?

My original goal was simply to become like Liu Yifei, who played Wang Yuyan, and receive widespread acclaim—that would be great.

But now, she has suddenly become so popular, her career has skyrocketed, and her team has grown larger and larger.

It was as if she had grown up overnight and could live well without relying on her brother.

Many viewers and fans projected Xu Wanzhen's strong, independent, and clear-headed personality onto her, thinking that she was also that kind of person.

That's not actually the case at all. Shu Chang didn't want to be independent at all. When she was little, her mother passed away, so she had to be strong. But afterwards, her older brother always cared for and protected her.

Now she doesn't want to grow up, doesn't want to mature, and doesn't want to drift further and further away from her brother.

I haven't seen my brother much this year. At first, he was busy promoting his movie, and then I was busy promoting my TV series.

"Liancheng Jue" aired on CCTV-4 in April. Its ratings were not as good as "The Legend of the Imperial Doctress" or other Jin Yong martial arts dramas, but overall it was still quite good.

After all, the overall emotional tone of "A Deadly Secret" is too dark and cruel, which is not appealing.

However, the character of Shui Sheng, whose makeup and image were personally designed by her brother, has received widespread praise.

In the second half of the year, she will continue to promote "The Legend of the Healer" in various Asian countries. This is not only arranged by the company Yuan Universe, but also by many official organizations.

My brother will first film a TV series, and then he will be working on the sequel to "The Edge Walker," so he will probably be staying abroad for a long time again.

Sigh, life these days is nothing like it was when she was in junior high.
That idiot Huang Shengyi must be secretly laughing right now, right?

That guy had been incredibly envious of Fan Binbin for a long time. This time, not only could he stay on set with his brother, but he could also play lovers!
