Expected to revive the Chinese film market during the "cold" season, "Spring Blossoms" by Wu Jinyan and Liu Xueyi did not achieve positive results. The film was even far behind "Security of the Brocade", "People's Police" and "Seven Nights of Snow".
On the third day of broadcasting, “Xuan Hoa Diem” showed no signs of breaking through, the first day’s views reached 6.13 million, accounting for 3.7% of the online film market share. On the second day, the views increased slightly to 9.81 million/day, ranking 6th on the list with a market share of 6%.
According to the latest updated figures, the film shows signs of slowing down, only reaching 11.95 million, with insignificant progress.
Based on current figures, “Spring Blossom” is considered a “flop” with all its low ratings. It is also the historical drama with the lowest viewership on the Youku platform in 2024.
Previously, Wu Jinyan had created a storm with “Mo Yu Yun Jian”, while Liu Xueyi had made a splash with “Hua Jian Ling”. Both films were broadcast on Youku, with high viewership and character discussion indexes. Therefore, public opinion believes that “Xuan Hua Diem” is a step backward for Jinyan and Xueyi.
Bloggers in China also had a sudden “turnaround”. Initially, many people highly appreciated “Spring Blossom”, affirming that the film would be “violent” because of its original content, beautiful scenery and camera angles.
However, after the film aired, most people had an unfavorable view of Ngo Can Ngon and Luu Hoc Nghia's project.
Recently, a blogger specializing in film statistics commented: "After watching the first episodes of 'Spring Flower Flame', I feel that there is nothing interesting to look forward to. The plot progresses slowly, and is basically the same old, predictable content.
Although the crew always emphasized that the female lead had gone through tragedy and was haunted by revenge, and the male lead was crazy, in reality, the character development and plot were not up to par, and the viral effect and emotions were not as expected. When I watched it, I really had no feelings at all."
Agreeing, many viewers also believe that Ngo Can Ngon and Luu Hoc Nghia could not portray the image of Mi Lam and Mo Dung Canh Hoa. The couple's acting is still controversial and most importantly, they did not create "chemistry" on screen.
“Spring Flower Flame” is also adapted from the original novel “Spring Flower Dream” by author Hac Nhan. However, the changes in content make the film follow the old path, without much new points. Therefore, the film is unlikely to make a breakthrough at the present time.
