Recently, our company has noticed a large number of malicious speculations, false information, and insulting remarks targeting Mr. Hou Minghao on some online platforms, even deliberately creating antagonism and inciting false topics such as "fighting for top billing," which has seriously infringed upon Mr. Hou Minghao's legitimate rights and interests. In response, the studio hereby declares the following:
1. Regarding the recent online rumors about Mr. Hou Minghao's "fight for top billing" and "tearing apart" of top billing, as well as malicious attacks, defamation, and personal attacks, we have secured evidence. We urge the relevant publishers to immediately delete the infringing content and cease all inflammatory and rumor-mongering activities. If they refuse to stop, we will resolutely pursue their legal responsibility according to law.
2. Mr. Hou Minghao has always focused on the performance itself, respected his partners, and adhered to his professional duties. We oppose any form of hype surrounding top billing, will not waste creative energy on issues of authorship, and do not condone creating antagonism and harming the industry ecosystem through such topics.
3. We strictly abide by the spirit of the "Notice on Regulating the Attribution of Actors in TV Dramas (Web Dramas)" jointly issued recently by the China Television Drama Production Industry Association, the China Online Audio-Visual Program Service Association, and the Actors Committee of the China Radio and Television Social Organizations Federation, and resolutely resist chaotic phenomena such as "fighting for top billing" and "tearing apart billing." As industry practitioners, we are willing to work with our colleagues to return to the essence of creation and jointly maintain a clean and healthy industry environment.
Thank you for your attention and support for Mr. Hou Minghao. We believe that truly good works can stand the test of time, and true actors speak through their roles. We will deal seriously with any continued rumors and malicious slander in accordance with the law, and will never tolerate such behavior.
📊 The Annual Best Seller List on Youku is a yearly ranking of TV dramas on the platform that reflects how much they’ve contributed to the platform’s growth over the past year, especially in terms of member engagement and paid subscriptions.
It’s not just about total views alone, the ranking is influenced by how much a show drives membership activity, including things like:
📌 how many people opened/renewed memberships because of that show 📌how much engagement (including cloud booking for members) the show generated
This focus is because platforms like Youku increasingly value paid memberships as a key revenue driver, so they reward shows that help grow that metric.
I browsed and the line up was finally announced for this week and he's not there. Even official acc is clowning us, I will only believe once he's on that stage atp.
