Bai Yangyu stopped trying to persuade him, after all, there was a precedent.
Last year's highly anticipated blockbuster drama "Legend of Yunlong" flopped, and the annual drama title went to a period drama on China TV. "Ode to Joy" lost due to the low base of Sichuan Satellite TV. If it had gone to one of the three major channels or China TV, it still had a chance of winning the drama title.
"Above the Clouds" will be released tonight, how could Zhou Yiyang miss it!
The four girls downstairs were already eating melon seeds and watching the show.
The film opens with a female college student, played by Yu Lina, waking up in her dorm bed, followed by a group scene in the girls' dormitory. The dialogue references seven of this year's most popular memes, and the filter is the bright white color favored by influencers.
Tang Yue tsked, "If I hadn't read the synopsis, I would have really thought this was a youth drama about a girls' dormitory."
"Speaking of which, you might not know this," Lin Xuan'er opened her phone and read out a statistic: "After 'Ode to Joy,' 70% of modern dramas this year have incorporated female ensemble casts."
"Looking at it this way," Su Yin said with her mouth wide open, "Brother Yang seems to be leading the trend."

But the pacing of this drama is too slow. The male lead doesn't even appear in the first episode; it's all about the girls in the dormitory."
"Yes," Lin Xuan'er nodded. "I even thought I was watching a school drama, the kind that tells the story of little girls fighting."
"You two," Su Yin stretched lazily. She was a little sleepy from watching the show just now. "Did you almost forget about filming 'White Snake: Origin'? The rhythm of 'Above the Clouds' is the rhythm that everyone is most familiar with. This show has 75 episodes. If the hero and heroine meet so early, how will they film later?"
After the first episode ended, feedback posts on the Internet popped up like mushrooms after a rain. A closer look showed that the reputation was not that good.
