he had long been aware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had contacted Dong Xuan too often, and their relationship had been a campus romance, with little effort to hide it—if Qin Lan hadn’t noticed anything, she was either truly foolish or didn’t care about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Dong Xuan had never noticed Qin Lan, but that wasn’t her fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Publicly, he and Qin Lan had no relationship whatsoever, not even any connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Dong Xuan—even some people around him didn’t know Qin Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Dong Xuan’s side was flooded with distractions: Huang Shengyi, the Seven Fairies—how could she possibly pay attention to an unknown villain from The Return of the Pearl Princess 3?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even though she didn’t know Qin Lan, Dong Xuan suspected he had someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, he was away for days at a time, sometimes unreachable by phone—this couldn’t be dismissed with excuses of business trips or meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was, she had no solid evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Yu Yanli had bought a house as their new home and provided her with money and resources, making Dong Xuan believe his heart was still with her, and that any outside affairs were merely fleeting flings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So although she kept a close eye on him and secretly investigated, she never confronted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli currently had no good solution—he simply dodged and deceived; as long as they didn’t cause trouble, he pretended not to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he found these two troublesome, thinking women like Wang Ou and Huang Shengyi were easier to handle with money and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality proved they were all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, spending money and throwing resources worked fine—but over time, they began to develop other ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short-term flings turned into long-term attachments; long-term attachments turned into ambitions for promotion; promotion led to desires for marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he quickly broke off with Huang Shengyi was because her mindset changed as his status changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ou was relatively better, but she too had entertained private thoughts; recently, Yu Yanli had cooled her off by pretending to be busy, hoping she would correct her attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted her to work for him, not become his boss’s wife!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Seven Fairies—he had learned, through his intelligence system, at least some of their true thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put simply, if Yu Yanli wished it, the one currently isolated among the Seven Fairies would immediately become Dong Xuan herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, precisely because of the system and the volume of true thoughts he’d uncovered, Yu Yanli understood clearly that he was not a universally adored heartthrob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tell who was sincere and who had ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect Qin Lan or Dong Xuan to be perfect saints devoted entirely to him—but apart from some understandable personal desires, they still placed him in a very important position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who gathered around him for wealth and status would one day leave when wealth and status faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli had considered: if he ever went bankrupt or was thrown in prison, the only women who might stay by his side or try to rescue him—besides his mother—would most likely be Qin Lan and Dong Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why he favored them: he could be lustful, but he had to know who his true people were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out two phones and began his daily texting, chatting while waiting for company emails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, the premiere data for The Seven Fairies had not triggered—so he could only wait for the TV network and company statistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to single-network ratings, the ratings for a four-network simulcast were far more complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli didn’t receive preliminary data until he reached the makeup room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiachuan held up his laptop; Yu Yanli glanced at it, his eyes steadied, and he exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic City TV’s average viewership rating: 2.37%, ranked fourth in its time slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shandong TV’s average viewership rating: 2.09%, ranked seventh in its time slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianjin TV’s average viewership rating: ... ranked eleventh in its time slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heilongjiang TV’s average viewership rating: ... ranked thirteenth in its time slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A four-network simulcast naturally lowered ratings, especially since CCTV’s New Year drama Emperor Wu of Han was still airing—Yu Yanli never expected The Seven Fairies to top the charts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ratings, Yu Yanli cared about market share—that was the true measure of the drama’s success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Market share was another viewership metric distinct from ratings, akin to horizontal versus vertical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It referred to the proportion of viewers watching a specific drama during a given time slot relative to the total audience pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if 100 million TVs were turned on during the 8 p.m. prime time slot, a 10% market share meant 10 million TVs were watching that drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, actual calculations were far more complex than this example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It included distinctions between satellite and terrestrial channels, and different agencies used different methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, market share data was critical—its level directly determined which drama attracted more viewers in the same time slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ratings and market share were related, but not absolutely correlated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, The Seven Fairies had low individual ratings, but due to its four-network simulcast and dominant screen presence, its market share neared 20%, nearly matching Emperor Wu of Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two networks ranked in the top ten, two in the top fifteen—nearly 20% of the viewership share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this data held steady, future reruns would be no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In high spirits, Yu Yanli had Lin Jiachuan screenshot some data and send it to The Seven Fairies’ main creative team QQ group, with one message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You’re all about to go viral】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to grasp the meaning of Yu Yanli’s message was Huosiyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the female lead, she had the most screen time, especially in the early plot centered on the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong—plenty of face time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but suddenly she realized she had become the “center” of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When taking a taxi to rehearsal, the driver recognized her, called her Little Seven, gave her a 10% discount, and complained to her about Dong Yong being a pretty boy with no substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When buying snacks, the shop owner recognized her and proudly showed off to other customers that a celebrity had shopped at her store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the rehearsal hall, some students there for winter break dance classes asked her for autographs—others from the Seven Fairies got them too, but she signed the most, even more than Shuang Bing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her agent told her two scripts had approached her, plus several interviews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had privately contacted her: one was a well-known industry agent, the other was Hua Yi’s talent department—both wanted to poach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even checked her personal Baidu Tieba—followers had surged over tenfold, with countless viewers, netizens, and fans posting to express their affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huosiyan was pleasantly surprised, yet also overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had experienced rising from obscurity to minor fame with The Young Emperor, but the timeline was long and the scale nowhere near as dramatic as now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if, in just a few days, she had gone from a minor actress to a household name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too fast—so fast it felt unreal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Huosiyan, the other Fairies felt relatively better, mainly because their major scenes and highlights hadn’t yet aired, so their gains remained unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, several of the Fairies had experienced similar rises before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuang Bing, of course, had been famous for years; Fan Xiaopang’s The Return of the Pearl Princess had once swept the entire country overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lin had starred in last year’s breakout hit The Flower Sedan, Wrong Bride; Jiang Xin had appeared in last year’s The Legend of the Condor Heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan’s Snow Goddess Dragon, though not as wildly popular as The Seven Fairies, was the lead role and reaped substantial benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having seen and experienced it before, their mindsets were naturally steadier, unlike Huosiyan’s overreaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not losing composure didn’t mean they weren’t delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, with The Seven Fairies becoming a hit, every lead actress gained something—some even had a chance to push their careers further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female actors were happy; the male actors were pleased too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue (Fourth Brother) and Pan Yueming (Dong Yong), who had the most screen time, had also drawn significant attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Wu Yue—his portrayal of the inventor Yuri was humorous and charming, with all sorts of inventions, earning high popularity among audiences, especially the young; variety shows had already contacted him for appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Yueming didn’t seem as hot as Wu Yue, but he was quietly making big money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The CCTV White Snake Legend production team, having seen his portrayal of Dong Yong as kind, gentle, yet firm and principled, with a strong screen presence, were considering him as a candidate for the role of Xu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By February, The Seven Fairies had aired over half its episodes; after nearly a week of accumulation and fermentation, it finally sparked widespread discussion before the Spring Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【New Year’s Ancient Drama Craze: Emperor Wu vs. The Seven Fairies—Historical Drama vs. Youthful Myth】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Seven Fairies “Descend to Earth,” Dominating the Spring Festival Slot, Market Share Records Broken】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Precise Market Positioning: “The Seven Fairies” Sweeps Through Elementary and Middle School Students During Winter Break】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Secret to Success: Costume, Makeup, and Props—The Seven Fairies’ Outfits and Magic Stones Become Spring Festival Favorites, Factories Rush to Increase Production】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Big Surprise: The Seven Fairies Appear at the CMG Spring Gala’s Fourth Rehearsal—Li Bingbing Says She’s Nervous About Her First Gala Appearance;

Tianjin TV entered the top ten multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the national ratings chart, The Seven Fairies appeared in the top ten three times simultaneously, and once all four networks were in the top ten together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined market share of the four networks surpassed 25% and was moving toward 30%, challenging CCTV-1’s Emperor Wu of Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heilongjiang TV had already begun its first daytime rerun; Tianjin TV planned a prime-time rerun on the second day of the Lunar New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two networks were studying reruns, but had not yet set dates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone on the cast and crew was satisfied with The Seven Fairies’ current success—but Yu Yanli was still waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, \"Happy Heaven, Joyful Gathering: The Seven Fairies\" is quite popular, but it still lacks that final spark to become a true blockbuster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he still has one trump card: the Spring Festival Gala.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, the Spring Festival Gala remains the most influential stage; many people may skip TV dramas, but they won’t miss the Gala.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li plans to combine the Gala’s Seven Fairies segment with \"Happy Heaven, Joyful Gathering: The Seven Fairies,\" bundling them together to cross-promote and turn the concept of “Seven Fairies” into a shared memory for most people this Spring Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with repeated reruns on satellite channels and relentless airings on local stations, Yan Li is confident that \"Happy Heaven, Joyful Gathering: The Seven Fairies\" will become one of the hottest TV dramas of 2005.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years ago, \"Conquest\" was a hit; last year, \"The Detective Di Renjie\" was a smash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year adds \"Happy Heaven, Joyful Gathering: The Seven Fairies,\" \"Sword of Valor,\" and \"Chinese Paladin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li has already thought up the slogan: “Yi’an Productions, Annual Blockbusters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, that doesn’t quite rhyme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Change it to “Yi’an Steps In, Blockbusters Always Appear”—too weak. Try “Yi’an Productions, Always Premium”—wrong keyword; we need “blockbuster,” to boost selling prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li is busy with the Gala’s Seven Fairies segment and tracking broadcast data from various satellite channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his spare time, he loves searching online for reviews about himself and his roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after Yan Li’s long wait, the roles of Huo Qubing in \"Emperor Wu of Han\" and Jin Zha in \"Happy Heaven, Joyful Gathering: The Seven Fairies\" have finally appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appearing in two major Spring Festival dramas as key characters has finally let Yan Li taste the flavor of fame as an actor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more people, both online and offline, recognize his face and remember his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with media’s formulaic reports and friends’ limited praise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li prefers watching strangers’ surprised reactions or netizens’ genuine comments—especially when they’re flattering and amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad he’s too busy; he rarely meets strangers in person, so he can only satisfy himself online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The actor playing Huo Qubing in \"Emperor Wu of Han\" is incredible—I immediately felt he was like a blade, sharp and radiant, with exceptional presence.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Historically, Huo Qubing was “reserved and decisive,” a cold demeanor. Yan Li’s portrayal is too lively—he should’ve been played by Xie Tingfeng.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Can fans please leave? Xie Tingfeng’s build? Fine for a thug or gangster, but don’t ruin the title of Marquis of Champion.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I hated this actor as Yuwen Chengdu before, but now he’s so handsome in this drama—he’s like a completely different person.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You’re influenced by the role. When I watched \"Sui and Tang Heroes,\" I already thought he had a striking look and tall stature—perfect for generals and heroes.

This actor’s performance is solid—he’s completely two different characters.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Eyes blazing, aura of nobility—his lines and performance perfectly match the image.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yan Li isn’t the type of ultra-handsome guy, but he has real charm—no wonder he landed Li Bing.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ah, just discovered a favorite male actor—is he dating someone?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Don’t you read the news? He’s the boss of a film company, worth tens of millions—acting is just a side gig.

Took me two minutes to realize.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I watch both—Jin Zha is well-played: upright and heroic, bluntly honest with all three fairies. Their scenes are especially fun.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【After checking Yan Li’s bio—he acts and runs a business? Impressive. Is there a fan group?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li enjoyed reading more and more, saving screenshots of the best compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were criticisms and insults too, but Yan Li ignored them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Oscar-winning actors and actresses can’t please everyone; he’s happy now and doesn’t want such “honest advice” ruining his mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His secretary Hu Ya asked whether to set up a blog for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last year’s Mu Zimei incident made blogs wildly popular; major portals launched blog services, and they’re still hot—not just netizens, but many celebrities and stars actively interact with fans there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li hadn’t noticed this before, but after checking it out, he found it fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s too troublesome—posting online requires writing an essay every time. Too tiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he had Hu Ya create one for him, posted a few of his favorite stills of Jin Zha, Huo Qubing, and Wu Tian, and wrote one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I’m Yan Li. Welcome to follow.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After posting his first blog, Yan Li nodded in satisfaction—cool, he must maintain this aloof image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, he’s no longer just a minor actor—he’s a rising star, a future legend…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the blog, Yan Li now has his own personal BBS forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the forum had existed for a long time; Hu Ya registered it early to prevent others from snatching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to Yan Li’s low fame, the forum had almost no traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its peak was when some actors heard rumors and came to post their resumes—had Hu Ya not deleted them quickly, it might’ve become the audition site for \"Lu Xiaofeng Legend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, finally, some fans and viewers have arrived, and the forum has gained a bit of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it two enthusiastic fans applied to be moderators—one named 【Konggu Youlan】, the other 【Huanhuan】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konggu Youlan is Qin Lan—no need to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huanhuan is Dong Xuan’s nickname, which Yan Li only uses when being affectionate in private.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li told Hu Ya to reject both applications—if they keep chatting online happily and then meet offline, things will get messy…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Two-day 10,000-word update complete.
