All these achievement with the various disadvantage of:

  • Being Broadcast by smaller Platform Youku, which has 1/3 of Qiyi user, ½ of Tencent user
  • Being Solo broadcast not multiplatform, web only not on TV
  • Mediocre Adv by Youku, they spent more on other dramas.
  • Airing at the cold period, April and not summer vacations. Student cannot watch
  • The various party platform, actor agency, big producer all chip in bought 2000+ hot search to mock TTEOTM and LYX, incite further fans war among artist to lower the population, being reported to NTRA to be taken down, Unfounded plagiarism issue, being bashed across platform: baidu bad article, banned from douban groups, called low drama, paid bad video rants on bilibili (owned by Tencent) and flooded bad article on zhihu…..
  • Being scored 5.6 at Douban where IMDB 8.4, MDL 8.7, Viki 9.0, Weibo 8.0

Not gonna lie, when Pang Yizhi was telling his prophecy about the person who will unite the kingdoms, my subtitle said "that person is in the capital right now". So, I assumed it was Tantai Jin lol. But Ye Qing yu makes more sense.

During the quarter, Youku's total subscription revenue grew 5% year-by-year, primarily driven by increasing ARPU* as well as benefiting from high-quality original content. Till the End of the Moon, exclusive in China on Youku, ranked No.1 in terms of viewership among all TV series broadcasted on all online video platforms in China during the quarter.

*ARPU = Average Revenue Per User
