"Spring Blossoms" by Ngo Can Ngon and Luu Hoc Nghia has gone more than half way with many controversies surrounding it. In the latest updated data on October 27, the film reached 20.58 million views/day, ranking behind "Security" and "People's Police".
Up to now, "Spring Blossom" is one of the historical dramas with the most modest broadcasting efficiency on the Youku platform in 2024. The indicators from views, discussion, characters... are not as expected. Therefore, many people mock "Spring Blossom" as a "flop" of Ngo Can Ngon and Luu Hoc Nghi.
Amidst the controversy surrounding the film's performance, viewers of "Spring Blossoms" spoke up to defend it, pointing out the factors that prevented Ngo Can Ngon's project from flourishing.
Fans said that the videos they made related to “Spring Blossoms” and the two main characters played by Wu Jinyan and Liu Xueyi were removed from many social networking sites such as Douyin, Bilibili, and Xiaohongshu. This limited the promotion and interaction of viewers with the film.
Audiences believe that “Xuan Hoa Diem” is very good, but due to the disputes and competition behind it, the film was “played dirty”. Videos that cannot be broadcast on many platforms greatly affect the film’s performance.
Meanwhile, many other opinions say that Netflix bought the copyright of "Xuan Hoa Diem" to broadcast on international platforms. This is the reason why the fan-made video was blocked on social networks, because they used the original images and sounds, affecting the copyright.
Public opinion also pointed out that the broadcast performance of "Xuan Hoa Diem" has nothing to do with the fact that the film's videos were blocked on social media platforms. The film's problem lies in the acting, content, and storyline that lack appeal and do not create a topic for debate.
Not only that, "Spring Flower Flame" was adapted completely differently from the original novel, without shocking or interesting details to reach viewers.
