Recently, the film "Quoc sac phuong hoa" by Duong Tu officially announced the average rating (viewership rate) on Hunan TV. Contrary to expectations, the film had surprisingly low viewership, reaching only 0.390%.
With this number, "Quoc sac phuong hoa" is officially in the top 10 historical dramas with the lowest average viewership ratings in Hunan TV history.
Winter break is considered the ideal time for dramas to air, easily attracting many viewers. However, "Quoc sac phuong hoa" still has very dismal viewership and is the drama with the lowest viewership during the winter break of the station.
Explaining this, the actress’s fans believe that the fault lies with the TV station itself. The show aired for 25 days but had 4 days of pause, some episodes aired after 9:50 p.m. (not prime time) and also coincided with the Lunar New Year.
The irregular airing time and countless special programs during Tet put "Quoc sac phuong hoa" at a disadvantage, and its ratings also dropped significantly.
However, many netizens assert that this is not the main reason for the film's poor performance. In fact, Duong Tu's previous films such as "Want to Love Forever", "Psychologist"... also did not achieve the expected broadcasting results.
Duong Tu and Ly Hien are quite famous actors with young audiences who have the habit of watching movies on online platforms, but have not yet conquered audiences of many other ages who prefer watching movies on the small screen. Therefore, when "Quoc sac phuong hoa" aired, viewers were still quite unfamiliar, indifferent and decided not to watch the movie.
Besides, historical dramas are not a genre that is favored by TV audiences. Most viewers are still loyal to drama, action, detective genres... with the participation of veteran actors such as Ngo Cuong, Truong Tung Van, Truong Chi Kien.
Previously, "Quoc sac phuong hoa" was highly praised when it was broadcast on the Mango TV platform. Besides the carefully invested setting, the profound content and the harmonious reunion of Duong Tu - Ly Hien helped the film attract a huge number of viewers.
According to Van Hop, the show has 32.68 million views/episode, officially becoming the champion in the history of Mango TV. The show also received a score of 7.8 on Douban with many positive comments.
