Chapter 561 [Glory] Explosion
In early July, when Gu Wei brought Zhao Jinmai to the crew to film "The Wandering Earth", "You Are My Glory" was broadcast online during prime time on Dragon TV and Blueberry Channel.
This drama has been anticipated by fans for a long time, and the various publicity before it has made it very popular.
In the final battle of the "Running Man" series, Gu Wei and Reba teamed up to compete, and with the help of this popular variety show, the popularity of "You Are My Glory" reached a new level.
On the night of the TV series' premiere, the data did not disappoint anyone.
The ratings for the first broadcasts of Dragon TV and Blueberry Channel both exceeded 1, ranking second and first respectively in the same time period.
A week later, Blueberry Channel's average viewership rating exceeded 2, and the highest real-time viewership rating even reached 2.4.
At the same time, the online playback data of "You Are My Glory" also rose rapidly.
Since this drama is exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video, the data is not as exaggerated as those big hit dramas that are broadcast simultaneously on the entire network. However, after dehydration, the number of views exceeded 200 million on the first day, and the number of views exceeded 3 billion 10 days after it was online, which is also very impressive.
"You Are My Glory" has officially become the first hit TV series of this summer's summer season.
In the same period, only "The First Half of My Life" followed closely behind it in terms of data, ranking second, making it another popular TV series in the summer season.
However, although both dramas are urban romance dramas, their audiences are very different due to differences in plot and actors.
Compared to "The First Half of My Life", "You Are My Glory" has a younger audience and is more popular online.
[This drama is a paradise for those who love beauty, the light of bg! ]
Yu Tu, the ideal and perfect husband within the system!
This is the best sweet drama I've watched in recent years. Gu Wei and Reba are a perfect match. There's no abuse and sweetness throughout. Even though I don't play games, I didn't find the game parts boring. I'm looking forward to the exciting space travel part later!
It's been a while since I've watched a Chinese drama so carefully. I'm once again impressed by Gu Wei's handsomeness and Reba's cuteness! This is such a beautiful and sweet drama that's not too cheesy. Highly recommended!
[From "Feng Teng" to "Xiao Nai" and then to "Yu Tu", although they are all urban romance dramas, Gu Wei's interpretation is different every time.
But the same thing is that they are all very, very charming, simply stunning.
As expected, that saying is so true, people will fall in love with Gu Wei repeatedly at different ages throughout their lives!
This drama is so immersive. What I like most is that they are all in their late twenties. Yu Tu and Qiao Jingjing don't express their emotions so strongly. They are mature, calm, and bitter, as well as tired and dissatisfied with reality. These are all in line with their age. I like their authenticity!
[Please follow this standard when casting domestic idol dramas in the future. What market will Korean idol dramas have? Gu Wei and Reba are a perfect match!!]
[This is the third time that Reba has worked with Gu Wei. Wow, Reba finally plays the leading female role. From a small supporting role to Gu Wei's leading female role, it's so inspiring!
Looking forward to her collaboration with Gu Wei again!!]

Blueberry Station.
"Director, this is today's data. During prime time, we are number one again."
Director Liu took the data report from his subordinate, looked at it for a while, and frowned slightly.
"Dragon TV's evening show ratings have already surpassed ours."
The assistant who came in with the data sheet was also helpless.
"When we were broadcasting 'You Are My Glory', thanks to our larger traffic than Dragon TV, our station was able to surpass it in ratings.
But after the end of "Glory", they also had "The First Half of My Life" which was broadcasted with Beijing Satellite TV. They caught up with two of the hottest TV series in the summer season."
Director Liu is also aware of this, but he doesn't have any good solution for this.
"Director, our current performance is already very good. At least our station's [Glory] has already secured the title of this year's summer ratings champion.
According to the current trend, it is not impossible for the finale to have a viewership rating of over 3,” the assistant consoled.
Director Liu was also aware of this. Due to the hit summer drama "You Are My Glory," Blueberry Channel had already made a fortune in advertising fees. However, it was a pity that its overall ratings did not beat that of its partner, Dragon TV.
With the start of this year's summer season, major local satellite TV stations have released their own highly anticipated dramas.
After the end of "Princess Agents", Mango TV launched "Our Times" starring the three little boys, hoping to attract young audiences with the super high popularity of "TFBOYS".
In addition to the Shanghai-linked broadcast of "My First Half of Life", Beijing Satellite TV also purchased "Surgeons" produced by Noon Sunshine.
Lizhi TV bought the first broadcast rights of "Lost Love in Times" from Straw Bear.
This film is also a costume love drama that Lin Yufen directed after rejecting Gu Wei's invitation after the filming of "Eternal Love" was completed.
In addition, some other local channels have also launched many new dramas.
Unfortunately, the only two dramas that really became popular were "You Are My Glory" and "The First Half of My Life".
Most of the other films were a failure.
[Our Times] performed well and attracted many young audiences as Mango TV expected.
However, this is basically a purely fan-oriented TV series, relying entirely on data supported by fans, and its influence is very small.
"Surgeons" was initiated and filmed by "Noon Sunshine" after the huge success of "Nirvana in Fire", starring Jin Dong and Bai Baihe.
There is no problem with the storyline and the actors' acting skills. The TV series maintains the usual high standard of "Noon Sunshine". Unfortunately, I don't know if it is affected by Bai Baihe, the ratings of the TV series are not high. Since it was launched, the ratings have never been able to break 1. The golden signboard of "Noon Sunshine" is not 100% useful.
"Legend of the Ancient Swordsman" broadcast on Lizhi TV has been highly anticipated since its promotion. Directed by Lin Yufen, starring Liu Shishi and Chen Weiting, many media outlets are optimistic that this drama will become another hit ancient idol drama this year after "Eternal Love" and "Princess Agents".
But in fact, the performance of "Legend of the Ancient Sword" was very dismal after it was launched. Not only did the satellite ratings have low, the online broadcast data was also very poor. It has not even been on many hot searches since its launch.
There is no doubt that "Legend of the Ancient Sword" is a complete failure.
Liu Shishi's popularity, which had already declined after her marriage, further declined.
Among the 85 flowers in recent years, Yang Mi has produced many hits, Tang Yan also has "Nirvana in Fire", and Zhao Liying is even vying for the title of TV drama queen. Only Liu Shishi's condition is getting worse and worse.
After several TV series flopped in succession, she has completely become the bottom of the 85 flowers.
At the Shanghai airport, Gu Wei brought his team out of the airport and got into the nanny car that came to pick them up.
[You Are My Glory] is a hit, and according to the contract with Tencent Video, Gu Wei needs to cooperate with the promotion of the TV series.
"When I arrived at the venue, I held a fan meeting first, and then accepted an interview with Tencent Video with Dilraba Dilmurat.
After dark, you will be accompanied by staff on a night tour of the Bund. At that time, hundreds of drones will take off in the sky above the Oriental Pearl Tower, forming emojis and related patterns in the sky to advertise "You are my glory."
In the nanny car, Yang Dan introduced today's work process to Gu Wei.
Drone advertising?
This is probably not arranged by Tencent Video, but more like the work of Tencent Games."
The popularity of [You Are My Glory] is secondary to the traffic it brings to Tencent Video. It is crucial for the promotion of [Honor of Kings]. After all, games are the main source of income for Tencent Group, and Tencent Games is also the most financially powerful branch of the entire group.
After a while, the nanny car arrived at the fan meeting site.
In the lounge, Reba, who arrived early, saw Gu Wei coming in and her eyes lit up.
"When did you arrive?"
"It's a while. I'm in Shanghai running a brand event. Since it's close, I came here early."
Since there were other staff members in the room, Reba did not act very close to Gu Wei, but she could not hide the happiness on her face.
"You've been busy lately, haven't you?"
"Indeed, after the premiere of Glory, I've been approached by more and more commercial performances, and the company has also secured me several new endorsements. These past few days, I've been either at events or on the road."
As she said this, Reba yawned loudly.
"I'm starting to miss the days of being on set. I feel like filming was a lot easier."
"You're busy because you're famous. Once our show [You Are My Glory] concludes, you'll be able to smoothly ascend to the top female star born in the 1990s in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Big star Qiao Jingjing, big star Dilraba Dilmurat"
"Hehe. Can I? Maybe." Reba knew that what Gu Wei said was right. Although she complained about being tired, she still liked the feeling of being famous.
"By the way, I have good news to tell you?" Reba suddenly thought of something and said with joy.
"What?"
"My team received an invitation from LV to become their brand ambassador!"
Being able to get this LV title is also a great encouragement for Reba.
Ordinary celebrities all start by becoming friends of high-end luxury brands and climb up the ladder. Only after they have proven their popularity and ability to sell goods will the brand give them a promotion.
Even for some popular stars, it is not easy to get the title of ambassador or spokesperson right away.
Yang Yang is a good example. While Gu Wei renewed his contract as LV's global spokesperson in Paris, he is working hard to become the brand ambassador of Valentino.
Moreover, Reba feels that if she and Gu Wei become the spokespersons for a brand, they will have more opportunities to meet each other in future events.
"Congratulations."
Seeing Gu Wei’s gentle smile, Reba was not surprised and reacted.
"Are you helping me?"
"I just mentioned this to the president of LV Greater China a while ago. The reason they chose you is entirely due to your current popularity and fame."
"Gu Wei, thank you." Reba was a little touched.
Although Gu Wei said it easily, Reba knew that there were so many female stars in the domestic entertainment industry, and some were more popular than her. At least she couldn't compare to Sister Mi now.
But the brand finally chose her, most likely because of Gu Wei's face.
"It's inappropriate to talk about this between us. Besides, I really didn't do anything." Gu Wei waved his hand with an indifferent expression.
"Yeah." Reba looked at Gu Wei and nodded slowly.
In fact, after the hit of "You Are My Glory", she became completely aware of it.
In the entertainment industry, no matter how hard you work, it’s really not as good as having someone who supports you.
When Reba was studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she filmed her first drama "Alhana". It was very difficult at that time. The temperature in Turpan in June was over 40 degrees Celsius during the day. In the TV series, there was a scene where she, the heroine, was hung up and whipped.
She was very naive at the time, and just thought that any hardship and fatigue would be worth it for art, and that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely reap rewards.
As it turned out, she was indeed naive.
There are so many people in this world who are willing to work hard and make sacrifices, but how many of them are truly successful?
After joining Jiaxing Media, she was still a little-known figure in the entertainment industry for many years. However, after relying on Gu Wei, in just one year, she has become the top star in the company, second only to Sister Mi.
Huang Mengying, Zhu Xudan and others who joined the company with her are still third- and fourth-tier celebrities today.
