The show is 60 minutes long and consists of eight episodes in total.
The first piece of data that popped up on the page was completely contrary to the current TV drama market.
Two episodes are almost equivalent to a movie, which is too long for people who like to go to Dilidili and watch ten minutes of complaints before watching a movie.
The total number of eight episodes is completely out of place compared to mainstream TV dramas that often have more than 50 episodes.
This is still a fantasy drama. Other fantasy dramas may not be able to fully introduce the so-called "grand" worldview even if they use eight episodes.
Netizens clicked on the video with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, and various complex emotions.
Sixty minutes passed in a flash, and Yue Shao and his three companions were the first group of people to finish watching the first episode.
The four of them smiled at each other, as if they had a lot to talk about.
"Honestly," Tang Yue was the first to speak. If she wasn't allowed to speak, she would almost suffocate to death: "I didn't even realize it when I was taking the photo, this scenery is so beautiful!"
"I suddenly want to go to that hot spring again!" Wang Xingrui's face was flushed with excitement. Although she didn't appear in the first episode, she still watched it with gusto.
Now, like many netizens, she was amazed by the hot spring scene between White Snake Su Yin and Green Snake Lin Xuan'er before the main film began.
Whether it is the scenery, the camera, or the complex emotions that appear and disappear between the two of them, it is all amazing.
Such exquisite pictures cannot be produced by special effects at all, they must be real shots.
This is also why a group of people on the Internet are praising the film's graphics.
[It’s amazing. The water and the falling flowers, any screenshot is wallpaper quality.]
[Is this actually a web series? I'd believe you if you told me it had the texture of a movie. Zhou Yiyang's camerawork is so natural!]
[You guys always said Zhou Yiyang was good for nothing except marketing, and I almost believed it. His filming skills are amazing. He's definitely in the top three among new directors.]
[Guys, this is a real video. Someone on Weibo found out where it was filmed, and the hot spring owner admitted it.]
[After eating melons, Zhou Yiyang actually bought a hot spring and renovated it just to film this few minutes of foreplay (not really). Ahhh, I want to go on a pilgrimage!]
So during the first episode, #The Same Hot Spring as "White Snake Origin"# became a trending search.
The person in charge of the hot spring always thought that his job was sinecure, but he never expected that his phone would be blown away by calls in one night, all from fans asking if they could make an appointment to bathe in the hot spring.
To be precise, they just wanted to go and take a look at the pool where Su Yin and Lin Xuan'er had soaked.
To round it off, it's like soaking in the same pool with your idol.
After the first episode was officially aired, discussions on major forums finally focused mostly on the plot.
The popularity of "White Snake: Origin" has obviously exceeded many people's expectations. The number of clicks on the first episode exceeded 10 million within an hour.
There are even countless videos on Douyin showing a quick viewing of the first episode of "White Snake: Origin" in just a few minutes, and everyone wants to take advantage of the popularity.
This grand occasion even surpassed the movies released during the Spring Festival.
The producer who had been resting comfortably before finally felt the crisis at this moment.
A free web drama might really attract audiences.
He could only comfort himself that the third episode would not be updated until next week.
Industry insiders had not had the chance to watch this new TV series, which quickly gained popularity among young people, but they saw Zhou Yiyang's ambition and layout from the interface redesign of Moonlight.
The homepage remains the same, with online music, movies, and TV series being the most prominent sections.
However, if you click on the TV series section, you will find that in addition to the initial type classification, there is also a selected theater.
"White Snake: Origin" is the first work of Xinxuan Theater.
As for the film section, Logic Film and Television also has its own classification.
However, there is no work there yet, only the preview of "Yi Yi".
High-quality film and television is obviously Zhou Yiyang's plan.
Industry insiders can see it, but no one is blindly following the trend. Instead, they are waiting and watching.
The fact that TV dramas are getting longer and longer is not just wishful thinking, but driven by profit.
The more episodes, the more time there is to market the plot. With enough trending searches, even an ordinary drama can become a hit. This is a common practice in the industry. Not to mention the shrewd scheme of buying ratings from 59 cities before the official ratings are released on Huaxia TV. This combination of tactics can even make every drama a hit.
The more episodes there are, the more embedded advertisements there are, and the more expensive the advertisements during the broadcast period are, so both the film company and the broadcasting platform can make more money.
Not to mention, there are some viewers who have a lot of time and like to watch long TV series to kill time. If your series is not long enough, they will not like it!
No one dared to follow Zhou Yiyang's risky approach before he ate the first crab.
But the audience doesn’t care about so many things. They are not shareholders of Yi Yang Entertainment. As long as the TV series is good, that’s enough.
Xiaohui is a real estate salesperson. After a busy day, the happiest thing for her when she returns home is to eat takeout while watching TV.
I watched the next eight dramas and didn’t expect that another new drama would be trending on the screen.
"'White Snake: Origin', the name sounds quite unique. It's a self-produced drama from Yiyang Entertainment, so the quality seems guaranteed! The lead actress is Moonlight Girl? Wow, everyone's praising the visuals and special effects, it feels pretty good!"
