The Queen's Rumored Father

The viewership of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" has remained extremely strong.

It has now reached episode 45, but the average viewership rating is still around 8.018.

This data basically confirms the ratings of Chang'an.

Breaking the eighth!

It will definitely break 8!

A drama that breaks 7 can be declared the king of dramas; one that breaks 8, in a sense, can be called a divine drama! It's a national drama!

Tonight, it's less about paying attention and more about preparing for a celebration.

At 10:30, Hunan TV specially adjusted the program so that Chang'an could air three episodes back-to-back, bringing it to a perfect end.

The final plot sparked a nationwide discussion.

"Tanqi didn't leave Chang'an with Zhang Xiaojing? This doesn't make sense, no, this isn't the ending I wanted!"

"Child, this is not a fairy tale. You should have realized that from the black and white style of the illustrations."

"A dark fairy tale! I can't quite accept it, but I also feel that only this kind of thing is real."

"After all, Tanqi and Zhang Xiaojing have only known each other for a day."

"Honestly, Zhang Xiaojing may not have taken Tanqi away physically, but he took her heart. Li Bi, on the other hand, got nothing—a single guy, walking alone. That really hit me hard!"

"Excellent writing from upstairs!"

That night, all the gossip revolved around Chang'an.

The next day, the ratings for "Chang'an" were released, with the entire series exceeding 8%. Several key scenes at its peak even surpassed 10!

Overall, it is the most powerful TV series of the year so far.

And it's unlikely that any other drama will be able to surpass it.

If you were to break down the last segment of Midnight Diner, it might be comparable to Chang'an, but that's unrealistic.

At this point, all members of the Chang'an production team received their final surge of viewership.

Even though they're all filming all over the country, they still made time to appear in public, seizing the last week or two. Because after that, their popularity will gradually decline.

This is a natural law, irreversible and unstoppable.

Once this wave of popularity has passed, all you can do is painstakingly refine your work, hoping for the next cycle to arrive soon so you can return to the mainstream.

Therefore, every role an actor takes on is actually very important.

Not for the present, but for the future.

Choosing the wrong role might not seem like a big deal now, but you'll regret it when things suddenly turn sour in the future.

Singers fared much better; they released songs and won lottery tickets, far more often than they acted in movies.

In the time it takes you to film a movie, a prolific singer can release an album with nearly ten songs.

Their chances of making a comeback are more than ten times higher than yours!

With the return of the copyright era, the profession of singer has become even more favored by the entertainment industry.

Against this backdrop, the second season of Singer finally arrived.

Because of Chang'an, Meng Xiaoxuan still firmly suppressed Deng Ziqi on the music charts. But after this episode, many people don't know what the outcome will be.

The title of the preview released by Hunan TV for this episode is: The most breathtaking performance in the history of Singer!

Everyone is speculating about who this person could be.

"Deng Ziqi, it's definitely her! No doubt about it!"

"I think, based on star power, it should be Wei Wei!"

"Wei Wei can't win first place. The current public's aesthetic doesn't allow her any room to shine. If she does win, it'll be a rigged result, and I'll stop watching 'Singer'!"

"Don't be so sure, bro. She used to be a superstar, who does your master think he is?"

"Zhang Jie, he has the ability."

Why is no one guessing Meng Xiaoxuan?

"Meng Xiaoxuan is less qualified. If she gets first place, it won't be convincing. Believe me, it definitely won't be Meng Xiaoxuan."

Just as everyone was discussing it, Xu Yuan posted a Weibo post, which seemed to be the trendsetter for this episode.

Xu Yuan: "This is outrageous! You're bullying us! This is simply..."

Xu Yuan only spoke half of what he wanted to say, as there seemed to be more details that he couldn't disclose.

He's practically a celebrity himself now, riding on the coattails of Mark and Long Bo's popularity, and is in no way inferior to Meng Xiaoxuan. Besides, he's always been Meng Xiaoxuan's go-to spokesperson.

This statement was quickly interpreted by various paparazzi.

Southern Entertainment Weekly: Meng Xiaoxuan is suspected of being treated unfairly. Is the singer about to expose some scandals?

Entertainment in Slow Recap: Leaking the latest episode of Singer's Digest - Meng Xiaoxuan, who can't stand losing!

Rage Events: Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene remains powerful, but the mainland music scene is beyond saving?

The incident escalated rapidly, attracting a great deal of attention.

Originally, only Meng Xiaoxuan's fans watched the show, but after this topic came up, fans of various celebrities started watching. Not for any other reason than to see Meng Xiaoxuan fall down.

It's not that Meng Xiaoxuan is particularly hateful, but rather that she has been so outstanding lately that she has completely overshadowed the entire entertainment industry.

So other celebrities don't need exposure, right?

At any press conference, no matter who you are, reporters will inevitably ask you questions related to Meng Xiaoxuan.

Apart from the programs and projects that Meng Xiaoxuan participated in, the other programs have seen a sharp drop in viewership recently, causing a lot of artists to complain.

how many years?

How many years has it been since we've seen such a domineering black hole of traffic?

Whenever Meng Xiaoxuan makes a move, all eyes are drawn to her and never look back.

The only exception is the cast of actors including Xu Yuan, Qi Wei, and Chang An.

If this trend continues, apart from this small group of people, the market value and salaries of everyone else in the entertainment industry will drop next year.

Therefore, the entertainment industry as a whole is not very friendly towards Meng Xiaoxuan.

Many celebrities who had no grudge against her began to be hostile towards her.

This time, after Xu Yuan posted on Weibo, the show's ratings surged by another three percentage points, completely dominating the prime-time variety show slot. During this time slot, they completely overwhelmed the second-highest-rated program!

The viewership ratings were twice that of the competitor!

The ratings hit this episode came during Deng Ziqi's singing segment!

It must be admitted that this girl's singing skills are truly sharp. Moreover, her singing style perfectly matches the aesthetics of modern young people; she sounds good no matter what she sings. Coupled with her signature leather pants, she directly captivated countless male viewers.

Her songs captivated female audiences, while her clothing, appearance, and figure won over male audiences; she was almost universally appealing.

The internet exploded as soon as she finished her performance.

"It's so good! My God, her cover of this song is absolutely amazing!"

"This is the best version of this song I've ever heard; it blows the original out of the water!"

"She's really talented, Deng Ziqi, I'm a fan!"

"Number one, number one! This level of skill is absolutely number one!"

"She's definitely number one; no one ahead of her has performed better."

"Sigh, it seems that there is still a gap between our mainland music scene and other countries. After so many years, we still don't have a single one that can compete."

"Yes, our four little divas were originally quite good, but after they all transitioned to the film and television industry, they haven't made any significant achievements in music."

"Are the two upstairs suffering from amnesia? Deng Ziqi's bubble is still being suppressed by Meng Xiaoxuan's return to power, can't you see it?"

"I can't stand it anymore. I admit Deng Ziqi sings very well, but does that warrant such a denigration of the mainland music scene? Have you been kneeling for too long?"

"Bro, where did you get this job? Let's make a fortune together! I want to be Deng Ziqi's online troll too!"

"Damn, I knew the public outcry was a bit much; turns out there were paid trolls involved!"

Regardless of whether some netizens dislike the style of Deng Ziqi's company's online trolls, they have to admit that they are indeed capable.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the first place will probably be...

No surprises?

How could Xu Yuan possibly make everyone feel comfortable watching?

A process without ups and downs is not exciting enough.

Xu Yuan updated his Weibo again, this time finishing what he hadn't said before: "Sorry, I hadn't finished typing when my hand slipped. I'm reposting it... This is too much! You guys are just bullying me! This is practically... killing me with praise! Letting my Xiaoxuan get first place so early, did you really consider how she feels? She's under so much pressure, she's even crying now, she's...crying with joy! Hahaha!"

Below, there was a picture of a husky grinning foolishly.

This style won't appear too flamboyant and offend others.

At the same time, it can smoothly express Xu Yuan's meaning.

Yes, we are proud!

We're just showing off!
