Melons and hot searches aren't exactly the most reliable sources. And neither Bai Jing Ting or Tan Jian Ci are…
No, international fans *like you* have nothing to contribute when it comes to explaining how cent works. Love to see your xenophobia shining through though, job well done!
Chinese entertainment is extremely complex. People who aren't in the fan circles can't find their way around so that international fans can't is perfectly understandable.
The problem is with people like you. You know nothing and when some new information shows up - and then doesn't suit your agenda - you dismiss it. You don't like it because it prevents you from creating a fantasy world about your idol.
Simple fact is that all platforms have not only marketing accounts but trusted people (often employees even) who post unofficially to pass on the information that they want to pass on. Even certain melon masters have platform or production connections.
Often they cannot announce things officially for various reasons so they pump info through those people. Cnetz who care and follow entertainment all know who they are and who they are affiliated to.
Tencent pushing hot searches or using their mouth pieces is regular, both to signal denial or affirmation, when they feel like there is a need to do so. They aren't doing this now because XZ's ego is fragile. He is a top star after all with the biggest drama hit in 2025. He also isn't 165cm tall and constantly wearing elevated shoes by 10cm+ because his ego can't take it.
10 days is a huge investment project and they got who they wanted. They don't want anyone interfering with the money that is in play and they are signaling publicly all is well.
Sorry you can't handle the truth but it is still the truth.
Oh I almost forgot. No, XFX weren't here before because we don't lick projects for XZ. We show up when we become certain something is his. Licking is more your thing.
Melons and hot searches aren't exactly the most reliable sources. And neither Bai Jing Ting or Tan Jian Ci are…
Yes, actually that is who is buying the hot searches just like marketing accounts who are on Tencent payroll are posting very clear statements of who was and who wasn't considered for this role. That is actually how cent works. And guess what? TJC was never, ever considered for this role. Simply put, he isn't good enough, in absolutely all ways.
Don't try and explain anything to me, you international fans living in your delusional worlds don't have anything to contribute. And she definitely doesn't have anything to explain to anyone considering she once attacked me for being a XZ anti because I said dramas needed to pass a review and get a license for broadcasting and she thought that was a lie. You sure found a knowledgeable poster 😂
I will give you a free piece of advice though. Pay more attention to who is stalking your idol thanks to his new movie and what is actually happening in China. When you are in that person's crosshairs, you have far bigger problems than unsuccessful licking.

Xiao Zhan doesn't have an agency. That's one. Two, he isn't buying any hot searches. Tencent is buying them and the reason is that they are sick of irrelevant people licking their star project.
Yes, everyone is very aware of TJC actual worth. Exactly what it is. Both Tencent and 🍋 do indeed know it. It's how this industry works, regardless what delusional fans think, especially you international fans. Everyone's actual worth is very well known in the places where it matters.

Oh really? Let's talk straight then.
Tan Jianci licked this drama for months. It's embarrassing how much effort he put in by funneling money into edits to try and prove to 🍋 that he is popular as XQ. It failed big time. Suck it up, he tried, he failed.
Don't make this any more embarrassing than it has to be.
With Yunhe's annual list out and Legend of Zanghai being number 1, we can close the chapter on 2025 by saying this was indeed Xiao Zhan's second explosion. Legend of Zanghai is the undisputed Drama King of 2025!
As I always say, even big Hollywood productions aren't to everyone's liking! But something about your profile…
Ah, a ZYL fan. Just the person who happened to be one of the primary people behind 227.
Thanks for outing yourself. That was nice of you. No wonder you are here spitting all over this movie.
Just a pity your favorite flopped and this one is a critical and commercial success. Maybe focus on promoting your fave next time and he will do better.

One of Tencent's mouthpieces came out and confirmed that not only is it XZ but they never even considered anyone else.
Please spare us the nonsense.
Yunhe posted its 2025 annual list for long dramas by cumulative effective views.
Legend of Zanghai is first with 2.23 b, time period from 16.12.2024 to 31.12.2025.
