……

When the final episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber" aired on November 17, it sparked heated discussions across the internet.

While discussing the finale, people were also shocked by the phenomenal viewership figures of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

With an average of 2.1 million views per episode, "Dream of the Red Chamber" performs just as well online as major TV dramas broadcast on television. It's a real shame it wasn't broadcast on a major network for its premiere.

[This is insane! This just finished airing, and I heard that the TV station in the Great Food Province is preparing for a second run tonight, six episodes a week. I believe that with the broadcast on satellite TV, the online viewership will explode again!]

[I've heard that many TV stations are now negotiating to buy the rights to broadcast "Dream of the Red Chamber" a third and fourth time—a privilege that other popular dramas haven't received! Other popular dramas only generate buzz when they first air, but are quickly forgotten afterward. "Dream of the Red Chamber" doesn't seem like a one-off.]

How could such a profound TV series be eliminated in just one round? I bet this year's "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a strong contender for awards!

……

Whether it's fans or netizens, they are both surprised and somewhat taken for granted that the TV series adapted from Ye Xian's work has achieved such excellent results.

Over the past few months, "Dream of the Red Chamber" has gone from generating buzz even before its release to becoming a nationwide phenomenon and then a part of ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) culture. Ye Xian's new media marketing efforts have been consistent throughout.

This has shown many people both inside and outside the industry how a TV series can better integrate with new media platforms like Kuaishou to achieve success in the new media era.

With over 200 billion total views, what does this mean? Almost all young people know and understand this TV series, and the corresponding target audience has been influenced.

Once the show airs on the Sichuan TV channel, the offline customer base will be captured again, leading to a second and third round of heated discussions and popular screenings.

Many industry insiders have begun to take Ye Xian, a newcomer who broke into the film and television industry from the live streaming circle, seriously. Everyone is also somewhat wary of Ye Xian's upcoming film, "Hello Mr. Billionaire".

TV series and movies have different narrative logic and methods, but since Ye Xian was able to write a hugely popular script like "Dream of the Red Chamber," people no longer doubted that his script for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" would be any worse.

The only thing to worry about now is which film, "Hello Mr. Billionaire," will clash with during the Spring Festival season.

……

That evening, the provincial satellite TV station broadcast two episodes back-to-back, officially launching the journey of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to be broadcast on satellite TV.

Many fans who were preparing for a second viewing turned on their long-unused TVs, ready to be bombarded with another wave of visual appeal from Ye Xian and Chen Xu.

Ye Xian, who rarely had a live broadcast or night scenes to film, sat with Qiu Qing in his large living room and turned on the TV to watch the premiere of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

To be honest, Ye Xian had watched the finished product at least ten times, but seeing himself on TV was a novel experience for him.

"Hmm, looking back at my acting back then, there were still many areas that needed improvement!"

While eating grapes, Ye Xian commented on his own acting skills.

Even though I had received extensive training from Teacher Hu Li and guidance from Director Jia for a long time before my first acting role, I could still tell that my performance in this film was not very good.

Ye Xian is a meticulous person. He would have let it go if he hadn't done it, but since he had decided to star in his own book, he had to do it to the best of his ability.

"I feel great!"

Qiu Qing watched the TV series starring Ye Xian with great satisfaction. In the past, when the family was not well-off, the two of them would squeeze together to watch TV. Now everyone is looking at their phones, and that atmosphere is gone.

Having finally gotten a chance to be alone with Ye Xian, she was naturally delighted: "I read everyone's comments about you. No one said you were greasy, and no one said you had a zombie face. Everyone felt that you acted quite well."

Furthermore, Ms. Hu Li told me privately that your acting skills have improved the fastest she has ever seen, and that you are fully capable of playing the male lead in any drama.

Seeing Qiu Qing's pride, Ye Xian couldn't help but feel happy too: "It's so rare that Teacher Hu Li would praise me like this in private?"

"Not only that, several training instructors have praised you; they are all professionals."

Qiu Qing turned her head and stared at Ye Xian with her bright, sparkling eyes: "My little Xianzi, he's the best at everything he does!"

What is the thing that men can't resist the most?

It's naturally a compliment from the woman he loves.

Overjoyed by the praise, Ye Xian couldn't help but drop the grapes and give the little green plum a deep kiss.

What's so great about grapes? Nothing tastes as good as cherry lips.

Qiu Qing blushed slightly and gently pushed against his chest, saying, "Oh, let's watch TV!"

"Why watch TV? Isn't my real Baoyu more handsome than that fake Baoyu?"

……

The following day, the second run of "Dream of the Red Chamber" topped the trending searches for viewership ratings.

0.8%!

For a TV series that is being broadcast twice, and for the 108 satellite TV stations broadcasting the Tang Dynasty series, this rating is definitely the highest of last night.

With two rounds of viewership ratings exceeding 0.8%, why is Ye Xian's "Dream of the Red Chamber" so captivating?

How did Ye Xian go from an unknown livestreamer to the screenwriter of a hit drama?

An Interview with Ye Xian: Was He Actually Writing "Dream of the Red Chamber" to Sell Wine?

"The Drunken Dream of the Red Chamber is a Bestseller, but its predecessor was actually this wine!"

……

Marketing accounts that wrote articles based on pictures quickly dominated Weibo, Kuaishou, and WeChat with various clickbait-style articles, giving "Dream of the Red Chamber" a second spring and causing online viewership data to rise again.

This trend is exactly in line with many people's guesses and expectations, so many fans have lost all sense of anticipation.

These are basic skills, nothing to brag about.

That's no longer what people are focusing on.

With the December awards season fast approaching, invitations from various award ceremony organizing committees are pouring into Ding Zhan's hands like snowflakes.

Even though Ye Xian clearly stated in an interview that he had no interest in these awards, the organizing committees still went out of their way to send out invitations.

As everyone knows, Ye Xian is an unavoidable topic this year. If Ye Xian hadn't participated in this year's awards ceremony, it would have been a highly controversial event.

Learning from the experience of the "Sea Lion Music Festival," many organizing committees did not want to end up in a bad situation.

Many of the organizing committees that issued these invitations were those with influential figures like Li Ming and Sun Ying.

"What does this mean?"

Ye Xian looked at the invitations, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't they hate me to death? Why are they sending me invitations too?"
