As the first two parts of "Asian Horror Stories" come to an end, there are more and more discussions about it on the Internet.
The three men with glasses posted directly on their Moments, saying that this was the best TV series Zhou Yiyang had ever filmed.
Zhou Yiyang was sitting next to everyone at this time, looking at them expectantly:
"Now that you've finished reading it, do you have anything to say?"
"I'll go first," Su Yin raised her hand very proactively, and then continued, "Sure enough, the edited version is completely different from the original filming. I feel that it was filmed very emotionally. Although it is a bit scary, the ending is quite touching."
"I think the music is great," Wang Xingrui said with emotion. "Some scenes weren't that scary when we watched them on set, but with the background music, they suddenly became much more terrifying!"
"That's true," Lin Xuan'er agreed. "And Brother Yang's editing is amazing too. There are some close-up shots that still scare me when I think about them now."
After the three of them finished speaking, they all looked at Tang Yue beside them.
It's not just because she is the most timid, but mainly because Tang Yue is the heroine of this unit.
"Ahem, why are you all looking at me?" Tang Yue cleared her throat. She found that even though she knew the whole story, she was still scared in many places when she watched it again.
"I think it's absolutely fantastic!" Tang Yue closed her eyes and boasted recklessly, "Especially the female lead's performance. It was so lifelike and vivid! I haven't seen such a mature performance in years. It deserves a perfect 10!"
After she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Zhou Yiyang then pointed at Luo Chen and said, "What about our male lead?"
"I feel the same as Tang Yue," Luo Chen also imitated Tang Yue's shamelessness: "It was filmed so well, especially Tangtang and I, our acting was so good, it's not possible for us to be nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress?"
At this time, Ling Hu joked, "Sure enough, you two went crazy after filming! But to be honest, you two acted really well in it, right, Brother Yang?"
Zhou Yiyang pondered for a moment before continuing, "The performance was quite good, but I don't have the final say. It depends on what the audience thinks."
At this time, Tang Yue and Luo Chen became nervous. The moment they were most looking forward to and afraid of was finally coming, which was the audience's evaluation of this episode and their performance.
"It shouldn't be bad," Su Yin said first. Judging from her confident tone, she was very positive about Tangtang's performance. "I just casually checked my Moments, and everyone was praising Tangtang. Anyway, my mom said Tang Yue's performance was so good this time that it was heartbreaking."
Tang Yue blushed when she heard this: "Really? Aunt Ye actually praised me like that. She really has good taste!"
Zhou Yiyang kept smiling throughout the whole process, because he had just opened WeChat and estimated the performance of "Asian Horror Stories" from the messages sent by everyone.
It should be quite gratifying.
At this moment, Guan Fei sent another message, which was no longer a simple speculation, but the number of views in major markets up to now.
"Just looking at the number of views," Zhou Yiyang pulled out his phone and read the data, "'Asian Horror Stories' broke the record for single-episode views on Moonlight."
"So awesome?" Tang Yue stood up excitedly. She didn't know how to celebrate for a moment, so she had to pull up Wang Xingrui who was sitting next to her and forced her to spin in circles with her.
"Well, that's just for our Chinese region. As for the Goryeo region, while it's lower than 'Kingdom,' it's still quite high. The Goryeo and Siam figures are both higher than expected, and the buzz is at its highest tonight. As for the European and American regions, the retention rate is very high. Almost everyone who opened the video stayed until the end. It seems that as long as we put aside cultural biases, audiences around the world will be able to accept 'Asian Horror Stories.'"
Zhou Yiyang paused, and before they toasted, he poured cold water on them. "But don't think our show is perfect. In fact, many reviews have said that the story lacks urgency and curiosity. The main reason it has such good results is that it is the first TV series in China to tell a horror story."
"They'll regret this review," Tang Yue said firmly. "They don't think about why I'm the star of this story. It's because it's the least scary! The stories that come after are scary!"
"Hahaha," Lin Xuan'er was amused by Tang Yue's ability to make fun of herself. "Tangtang, that's so cute! I think a lot of girls would think highly of our show."
"Indeed," Zhou Yiyang continued, discussing the data. "Female users do give higher ratings than male users. Overall, even on male-dominated forums, our drama is generally well-received, though some are looking forward to even more terrifying and bizarre stories to come."
Everyone present was quite satisfied with this result.
Like horror movies, horror novels, and horror games, audience reviews are very contradictory.
Not scary enough, low rating. Too scary, bad review. No plot, just a tricky plot, a bad movie. Too much plot, no atmosphere, just the director's own fun.
This is also the reason why horror movies are popular but there are not many directors willing to make them.
The sudden emergence of "Asian Horror Stories" has indeed satisfied the wishes of many people.
This is also why the hot searches related to this drama occupy five positions in the top ten on Weibo.
Zhou Yiyang browsed Weibo for a while and was surprised to find that many celebrities were following this drama and some even took the initiative to send him Weibo recommendations.
"Not bad, not bad," Zhou Yiyang said, looking at the heated online discussion, his heart finally at ease. "With this level of discussion, it's definitely not going to flop. Anyway, a lot of people will keep watching just for the hype. I wonder how they'll feel when they find out we're only updating two episodes a week."
Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows. The two episodes he was talking about here were the upper and lower parts of one episode.
There are eight episodes in total, four unit dramas, one of which has been aired today.
This means that "Asian Horror Stories" will be finished in three weeks.
This was unimaginable for many people in the past, as the normal broadcast period of a drama was one month or more.
In the first half of the month, we started to slowly buy water army marketing, and in the second half of the month, word of mouth spread and the playback data increased step by step.
Who would have thought that "Asian Horror Stories" has already surpassed all the TV series this year in terms of discussion just after it was aired today.
While the audience is discussing the plot and looking forward to the subsequent stories, the practitioners are all ready to follow suit.
They are also going to make a horror TV series of the same type!
"Asian Horror Stories" allowed them to see the huge potential audience for this category.
