Chapter 122: The Journey of Flower
The next day, Zhao Liying acted as if nothing had happened, and her mental state was better than before. This shows her powerful ability to self-adjust.

Zhao Liying had to fly to Changsha to record the variety show "Idols Are Coming", so she left early in the morning. Before leaving, she had prepared a loving breakfast for Lin Feng.

Then she gave Lin Feng a kiss and said, "Take care of yourself and don't forget to have breakfast." Finally, she set off with high morale.

It is true that "what doesn't break me will only make me stronger". How could Lin Feng like such an independent and unique woman!
Lin Feng even thought that if Zhao Liying really knew that he was having two relationships at the same time, she might kick him out and then go back to work as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Liying is like this, and Yang Mi is even more so. These two are typical "hardworking women" and are not easy to grasp.
As for Reba and Liu Yifei, Lin Feng was not sure. Maybe they would cry or they might act as if nothing had happened.

But Lin Feng believed that Nazha would definitely cry and scream, because she was too clingy and a little love-brained. She called and sent WeChat to Lin Feng almost every day.

Although this kind of Shura field will happen sooner or later, Lin Feng will never allow it to happen now. If it can be postponed for one day, then postpone it for one day. Let's talk about it later.

Anyway, Lin Feng is enjoying it very much now. Lin Feng, who likes to go to bed late and get up late, is eating the breakfast prepared by Zhao Liying for him, including white porridge, eggs and toast, and is very comfortable.

After Lin Feng slowly finished his breakfast and drank a pot of green tea, he set out on his journey back to "Descendants of the Sun".

As a result, even after Lin Feng's newly purchased luxury house in Beijing Jinmao Mansion was renovated, he had never lived there once, mainly because he really had no time.

Compared to living in his own home, Lin Feng prefers to live in his wife's home. This way he feels more secure and he is afraid of having someone visit him.

Moreover, Lin Feng also tried his best to stop Zhao Liying and others from visiting the set, for fear that something might happen.

***
Although Zhao Liying failed the audition for "Better Days", this did not stop the rapid development of "The Journey of Flower". At this time, "The Journey of Flower" was really completely crazy.

In just over a month, many viewers felt the same madness as last year's "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and even exceeded it by far.

the first week:
On June 6, the premiere ratings in CSM9 cities were 50%, with a market share of 1.473%, ranking first in the evening;

On June 6, the ratings were 10%, and the market share was as high as 1.65%, ranking first in the country;

By the second week:
On June 6, "The Journey of Flower" had a viewership rating of 16%, and the total number of online video views exceeded 1.72 billion, breaking iQiyi's record for the fastest weekly view volume of 10 billion.

On June 6, "The Journey of Flower" had a viewership rating of 17%, directly surpassing all prime-time TV dramas with its extremely high viewership data for a weekly drama at 1.78 p.m.

The third week:
The average viewership of "The Journey of Flower" exceeded 2%, the daily market share was above 10%, and the total number of online video views exceeded 30 billion.

Even the person in charge of Hunan Satellite TV said that this is another representative fairy tale drama after "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

the fourth week:
The average viewership of "The Journey of Flower" exceeded 2.2%, the daily market share was above 12%, and the total number of online video views exceeded 50 billion, officially launching an impact on the throne of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

At this point, no one compares "The Journey of Flower" with "Gu Jian Qi Tan". This is obviously a fairy tale drama that far surpasses "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Then came the fifth, sixth and seventh weeks, and "The Journey of Flower" continued to make great strides, breaking a series of playback records.

As of July 7, the average viewership of "The Journey of Flower" in CSM13 cities was 50%, with a single-day high of 2.123%.

The total number of online video views has exceeded 100 billion, with an average of nearly 3 million clicks per episode, an online index of over 500 million, and it has repeatedly topped the charts for both topics and hot searches.

“The Journey of Flower is a huge hit!”

"This summer belongs to The Journey of Flower, to Zhao Liying, and to Lin Feng!"

"Zhao Liying is so popular!"

...

You have to know that this was the result of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" last year. "The Journey of Flower" broke this record in just over a month.

Moreover, the theme song "Unspeakable" sung by Lin Feng and Zhao Liying has entered various music charts.
It also includes "Annual Rings" sung by "The Voice of China 3" champion Zhang Bichen, which, with the popularity of "The Journey of Flower", has entered the top ten of major music charts.

Then, the online game of the same name "The Journey of Flower" endorsed by Zhao Liying announced that the daily game revenue exceeded 1000 million, and the monthly revenue in July is expected to exceed 7 million+.

Ciwen Media really made a fortune this time, and producer Tang Lijun was grinning from ear to ear. "The Journey of Flower" made huge profits in all aspects!

At this time, "The Journey of Flower" had not yet finished its serial broadcast, but other satellite TV stations were already preparing to purchase the second round of broadcasting rights for "The Journey of Flower".

Even iQiyi, the exclusive online streaming platform for The Journey of Flower, said that The Journey of Flower brought at least 200 million paying users to the website.

Then iQiyi wanted to use this opportunity to reach a cooperation with Lin Feng and Zhao Liying to make them the spokespersons for the website, but unexpectedly, Tencent Video took the initiative.

...

At this time, "The Journey of Flower" was really popular, with high popularity and much discussion. Whether it was the ratings, online playback volume, distribution revenue, and mobile game revenue of the same name, it ranked first in the same period.

Many people have become accustomed to watching "The Journey of Flower" in front of the TV at 22:00 every Wednesday and Thursday. There are not only young fans but also many office workers.

Before, I watched "The Journey of Flower" more because of the looks of the male and female protagonists. Most of them were fans of Lin Feng and Zhao Liying. Later, I simply liked "The Journey of Flower".
The audience has always had a passion for fairy tales. It has been exactly ten years since "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2005" in 1 and "The Journey of Flower" in 2015.

In this age where people tear apart Japanese invaders with bare hands and rush to catch trains with their legs, it is hard not to be popular to have a drama that combines ancient costumes, fantasy, idols, heart-wrenching feelings, and good looks!

"Xianxia dramas are a unique type of TV drama in China, and for that reason alone I enjoy watching them."

"Ancient costume fantasy is better than modern idols, because the world setting is completely imaginary, and many weird moments can be forgiven."

The main reason is that the plot of "The Journey of Flower" is so addictive, with the poignant forbidden love, fantastic scenes, moving lines, ups and downs and heart-wrenching plot, every one of them is full of highlights!
First of all, the identity of the heroine.

One of the rules of all idol dramas and online novels that are popular among women is that the heroine cannot be tall, white, rich and beautiful, but if you think she is really ordinary, you are wrong, she must be extraordinary among ordinary people.

Hua Qiangu appears to be a clumsy underachiever from Changliu, but the truth is:
She is the last god of the six realms, and if you bully her too much, she will evolve into a demon that destroys the world.
The sense of anticipation was immediately aroused, just like in some entertainment online novels, the reborn protagonist has just finished filming a TV series that will be very popular in the future, and everyone must be looking forward to its performance after it is broadcast.

Then there is the character setting of “The Journey of Flower”, which can be said to be the “strongest Mary Sue in history”.

The heroine is the last god in the world. She is born with a strange fragrance and her blood can poison flowers and plants. Although she is a lonely star,
But apart from the fact that she killed her parents, she was loved by almost all the handsome men in the play, which completely satisfied the audience's inner perfection. Just think about it, if you can't do it yourself, you can always think about it,

This is fine in the world of ordinary people, but Hua Qiangu is a fusion of the six realms of immortals, demons, and humans.
Fairies, demons, humans, beasts, and even insects are all gathered together. With such a background, fans have completely immersed themselves in it.

The "domineering president falls in love with me" plot that I loved before is really child's play. "All the elites in the fairy world, the demon world, and the human world fall in love with me" is the ultimate "Mary Sue".

From the "teacher-student love" with her master Bai Zihua, to the secret love and "sacrifice for love" of the Yixiu Pavilion Master Dongfang Yuqing, to the ambiguous feelings of the demon king Sha Qianmo, almost every man will be attracted by her charm. Those with obstacles should love, and those without obstacles should create obstacles to love. And those who love Hua Qiangu are more powerful than each other, including immortals, demon kings, and the Pavilion Master who constantly reincarnates to protect the common people.

Let me tell you this, the human emperor who has no superpowers is the weakest one in Hua Qiangu's harem, and will be the first to be eliminated.

It is important to remember that "if you play Mary Sue well, female fans will chase you until old age." From Korean dramas to online novels, in many of today's popular female-oriented film, television and literary works, if the heroine does not have more than three admirers of the opposite sex, she should not be ashamed to be the heroine.

Once again, the plot is so sad and sad, all the way to Grandma Bridge.

The more the heroine is bullied during her growth, the more the audience loves to watch it. This is true for all these classic "female-led" TV series, from "Desire", "Dae Jang Geum" to "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Hua Qiangu once again reached the extreme. Her immortal body was destroyed, her tendons and veins were picked, she was made of steel and iron, her face was ruined, and she was exiled to the wilderness.

And what is the reason for all this?
爱!
I am not lying to you because I have little education, it is really just because of love!
Once again, prohibition, forbidden love, abstinence, prohibition is the hard truth, and the forbidden love between master and disciple is the biggest selling point of its promotion, which definitely scratches the itch of female audiences.

All the previous fairy tales with female protagonists were basically about the love between master and disciple, but some were warm and some were funny, some were earth-shattering and some were long-lasting.
The Journey of Flower is the most abusive and romantic one among them. In terms of expressionless poker and abstinence, the "Bai Zihua" played by Lin Feng can easily be ranked in the top three among all the male protagonists in online novels.

He has been silently protecting Xiaogu, but refuses to admit that he loves her. He is determined to torture her to death, disfigure her, poison her, and even turn evil without even saying "I love you."

This completely illogical plot hits the spot for the audience. The audience loves to watch it. Love in real life is too bland.
Therefore, the audience places their emotions on TV dramas, hoping that they can also experience a tragic love story, and no matter how tragic the process is, the audience must believe that the final ending will be happy.

How many people desire the forbidden love between teacher and student but dare not realize it, so they transfer their feelings into the play. Many female fans saw Hua Qiangu secretly painting the face of the master, showing a sweet and sad expression.

I couldn’t help but think of the funny and cool “chemistry teacher” and “physical education teacher” whom I secretly admired in middle school.

"This taboo of teacher-student love has touched many people. Who hasn't fantasized about a mature and wise male teacher when they were a teenager?"

"Mary Sue's character satisfies women's unsatisfied desires in real life, just like boys like to watch Wei Xiaobao."

...

Of course, there are many lines in "The Journey of Flower" that are full of shame, but they have become popular sayings.
Hua Qiangu: "I don't believe in good, I don't believe in evil, I don't believe in happiness, but I believe in you!"

“I used to be very happy. Because I was so happy, when sadness came, I was easily destroyed.

But people can't use the excuse of avoiding sadness to ignore what they should do. This time I want to control my destiny and make my own choice. "

Bai Zihua: "The greater one's ability, the greater the responsibility. If one only does what he wants and evades his due responsibility, that is a sin. It is not so easy to put everything aside and live freely."

Sha Qianmo: "Bai Zihua, if you dare to hurt her for your disciples, I will kill your entire family. If you dare to hurt her for the people of the world, I will kill everyone in the world."

...

In addition, the plot of "The Journey of Flower" is compact and seamlessly connected, and all the plots in the novel are vividly presented without being stiff or stereotyped at all.

Even though "The Journey of Flower" has many flaws and has become the target of complaints from netizens, it has gradually become a hot topic and has been on the hot topic list many times.

For example: Demon Lord Sha Qianmo is known as "the most beautiful woman in the six realms", which directly triggered the fans' hidden inner complaints.
Demon Lord Sha Qianmo is known as "the most beautiful woman in the six realms". When he first met Hua Qiangu, he was criticized, "Sister, you are so beautiful, but your breasts are a little small."

Later, Ma Ke, who plays Sha Qianmo, posted a photo of himself holding a pen between his pectoral muscles on Weibo, saying: "Who said Sister Sha doesn't have breasts? I can hold a pen between my pectoral muscles too."

This made netizens almost unable to hold back their nosebleeds, "What great breasts! But please give me back my normal sister!", "Too sexy, I can't stand it!"

"Killing sister" has become a common complaint in the play. He often asks various people in various occasions, "Am I beautiful?" This question dumbfounded passers-by, stunned the immortal Changliu, and stunned the protector Shan Chunqiu.

As the love of "Sister Killer" for "Little One" continued to escalate, the fans were fascinated and the previous complaints were thrown out of the window.

Many netizens lamented, "It takes ten years to become Ke Jingteng, a hundred years to become Wang Xiaojian, a thousand years to become Li Daren, ten thousand years to become Lu Licheng, a hundred million years to become He Yichen, and a trillion years to become Sha Qianmo."
Some miserable netizens even sighed, "I want to have a Sha Qianmo, but I always meet Sha Qianmo."

For example: 50-cent steamed buns with special effects.

When filming, there were no suitable props to be found, so they could only pretend to eat. Even though Zhao Liying was clearly eating air, she still had to act as if she was enjoying it very much, and then photoshopped in real buns on top of that in post-production.

Unexpectedly, this also became a point of complaint, and many people on the Internet felt sorry for Xiaogu: "I feel so sorry for him. He can't even eat a real bun!"

As for why the buns needed special effects, some netizens complained, "Because the special effects only cost 50 cents, but the real buns cost one dollar. Are the crew really that stingy?"

In response to this, Zhao Liying posted a cute explanation on Weibo: "I only realized it when my friends teased me, and I was quite confused.

I don’t even remember what I was eating. Only after seeing the screenshot did I realize that I was eating steamed buns, and I ate them with great relish.”

...

All these factors have really made "The Journey of Flower" a huge hit, with ratings and online broadcasts continuing to rise.
Every Wednesday and Thursday night at 22:00, Huagu fans can only wait pitifully for the update of "The Journey of Flower".

Even the police in a certain place announced that they had arrested a fugitive in an Internet cafe. It was reported that the reason he went to the Internet cafe was that he was eager to watch the day's update of "The Journey of Flower".

The suspect said bitterly: “I knew I was wanted by the police, but I couldn’t help but want to see how the story would develop, and I didn’t expect that I would be arrested.

Now that I've been arrested, I feel relieved, but can you let me watch a few more episodes before going in?"

"Repent sincerely and come out to watch the drama again!" said the police.

Huagu fans, temporarily -1
iQiyi lost a VIP user!
...

At this time, "The Journey of Flower" was truly a national carnival, but its broadcast time every Wednesday and Thursday made many office workers dissatisfied, and they called Hunan Satellite TV and left messages on the Internet to change it to the weekend time.

Hunan Satellite TV may not be good at other things, but it is very good at this. It simply changed the broadcast time from Wednesday and Thursday to Sunday and Monday.

Sunday is here, can Monday be far behind?
So facing the cunning Hunan Satellite TV, the beginning of each episode repeats the content of the previous episode for about 20 minutes.

The TV series was forcibly extended from 50 episodes to 58 episodes, which made the masochistic audience endure it!

"The Journey of Flower" is so popular that it is hard to get addicted to it!
