On January 7, the Chinese television drama market was bustling when two new dramas, “The White Moon Fanxing” (starring Bai Lu and Ngao Thuy Bang) and “The Beauty of the Country” (starring Duong Tu and Ly Hien) were aired together.
“White Moon Brahma Star” airs the first 5 episodes on iQIYI. “Quoc Sac Phuong Hoa” airs the first 4 episodes on MangoTV.
According to data from media index rankings, the coverage of films such as Vlinkage, Datawin, Maoyan, "Quoc sac phuong hoa" is slightly better than "Bach nguyet phan tinh".
On the Vlinkage chart, "Quoc sac phuong hoa" ranked No. 1 in TV dramas with 85.72 points, "Bach nguyet phan tinh" ranked No. 1 in online dramas with 80.41 points.
On the Vlinkage character index rankings, the male and female leads of “Quoc sac phuong hoa” both surpassed the 9-point mark on the first day. Ha Duy Phuong (Duong Tu) won the number 1 position with 9.25 points, Tuong Truong Duong (Ly Hien) ranked Top 4 with 9.05 points.
The characters Bach Thuoc (Bach Loc) and Phan Viet (Ngao Thuy Bang) of "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" entered the rankings at 6th and 7th place.
On the Maoyan rankings, “Quoc sac phuong hoa” and “Bach nguyet phat tinh” ranked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.
On the Datawin rankings on January 7, “Quoc sac phuong hoa” debuted at number 2, “Bach nguyet phan tinh” ranked 6.
However, the views of the two films as measured by the Van Hop and Khoc Van platforms have opposite results.
According to the viewership estimate of Van Hop on January 7, “Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh” recorded about 19.29 million views, debuting at number 5 in the Top 10, accounting for a market share of 7.3%. Meanwhile, “Quoc Sac Phuong Hoa” reached 9.51 million views, debuting at number 13.
According to Khuc Van, "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" is estimated to reach 14.93 million views on the first day, higher than "Quoc Sac Phuong Hoa" with 9.68 million views.
The number of views of the two films is surprising. However, fans also gave reasons to explain why Duong Tu's film has lower views than Bach Loc's film.
First of all, “The Legend of Fuyao” is released on MangoTV, which is a less popular platform than iQiYi, Tencent, and Youku. Costume dramas are also not a popular genre on MangoTV.
The release time of “Quoc sac phuong hoa” is 8pm, the film only has 4 hours to count views. Meanwhile, “Bach nguyet phan tinh” is released at 12pm, the viewing time is 3 times longer.
The fact that "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" has more episodes also creates an advantage in terms of viewership.
On the other hand, if we compare the number of views of Van Hop with some of MangoTV's movies, the number of views on the first day of "Quoc sac phuong hoa" is still in the top.
“My human fire” reached 12.66 million views, “Love for business” reached 10.69 million views, “Go where the wind blows” reached 9.63 million views.
Most recently, “The Little Prince” started with about 5 million views on Cloud. But then it grew well, surpassing the 50 million view mark.
Fans hope that "Quoc sac phuong hoa" will also have such good development, because the film's content is currently receiving many positive reviews.
