Don't you read my comment carefully? The data (HEAT INDEX) is PARTIALLY due to YZ's dedicated fan. I really mean the heat index and partially. So please check the dictionary for their meaning

First, I am commenting on the matter of "BCE is the #1 Urban drama of 2024 so far this year with 1.7B views in 3 months since airing.". I read somewhere that title was awarded by MaoYan based on MaoYan Heatindex. Thus, I want to elaborate on the "heat" aspect.

In term of view, BCE has 1.7B includes not only view on TV (about 7 time broadcast on various station) but also view on internet broadcast platform. Drama that is broadcast on CCTV (CCTV 1 for example) always have very high rating since those stations are the most popular national TV channels. Particularlly for CCTV1, then CCTV8. Many people take rating is the ultimate criteria to judge the success for a drama which broadcast on TV. But TV audience is just a part of overall audience. a serious, authentic website audience should be equal to a TV audience in my opinion. Nowadays, how many people watch TV. Most of young people watch drama on their phone, their PC/laptop. The problem with internet view data is the way to track view or interaction is not effective enough to filter such spam. If the tool is good enough, internet view shoud be treated equal with TV view and the rating should include website drama too.
Moreover, the broadcast view abroad should be included in their calculation since some dramas and some actors have large fan base oversea. XK is an example. Many of his drama were considered as flop in China but loved oversea (FIYS, Ancient love Poetry, Wonderland of Love)
And honestly, I don't care such heat index which is hugely manupulated by fans. Positive or negative discussion both drive the heat index up.

Seem so. It is quite surprised that ML of Joy of life 2 was not that "hot" before airing

I tried to make my comment as neutral as possible. I am fan of XK and I am not fan of YZ. Do I like BCE? It's ok but not so special. I enjoy XK's performance there and because of him I tried to not skip any minute of the drama. If you go to douban, you would see YZ's fan army chasing behind each of her drama to push the data as much as possible

I gave the example of heat index and I said "Partially". Rating is another story. It is based on the TV broadcast data. Thus, BCE is more suitable for CCTV8's audience than Tale of rose or Joy of Life 2 which both have much higher internet view than BCE

Han Ting exceeded 10 mil heat index on Tencent

However, it is not "a cup of tea" for many viewers who like romance.
The data (heat index) was good partially due to Yang Zi's dedicated fans

It is less than 20 hours before the premier airing. I checked WeTV website https://wetv.vip/en and searched for As beautiful as you, but it returned me no result. What is this, Tencent?

It is a kind of kidnapping. Can you add spoiler box for your comment?

I did not know that kidnapping is such common in modern Chinese society. Can you list me those dramas of this year so I can see how they were executed in those drama. Thank you in advance.

My appology. I have watched that clip many time and the speed was too fast, I still missed 1 line. TSY did said "Is it better if I stand on tiptoe?" Then the director said "It's definitely better to stand on tiptoe because he is too tall" Then XK said "Is it my fault?" (his voice was to blur).

The title of the clip is "No need tiptoe, I will bend over to love you" (translated by Bing) and in the corner of the screen near the end: the blue line means "Bend down for love" (on XK 's side) and the red line means "Tiptoe for love" (on TSY's side). The two letter near her waist at the last screen is "tiptoe"

Let's take tale of Rose as an example a female centric drama with 4 male leads; the storyline circulates around FL. However, the discussion on internet is always about the MLs. It's common trend in temporary Chinese dramas which concentrate on FL

It is not TSY and Xu kai's word. They are the lines by the director: It must be better to stand on tiptoe because he is too tall. It's my fault.
