Comparison of online views between "Walking with the Phoenix" and "Wind ...

As of 4:30pm on April 2, 2024, the drama "Wind Chasers" starring Wang Yibo has more than 500 million webcasts, and as of 3:00pm on April 2, 2024, the drama "Walking with Phoenix" starring Zhao Liying has more than 1.2 billion webcasts. At first glance "Walking with Phoenix" has a much higher webcast than "Wind Chaser", but the gap is actually narrowing.

Because when "Walking with Phoenix" exceeded 900 million, "Wind Chasers" just exceeded 300 million, and the former had been three times as much as the latter. And now, the former is just a little more than twice as much as the latter. A total of 39 episodes of With the Phoenix Walk and 40 episodes of The Wind Chaser; the former started broadcasting 3 days earlier than the latter, and when both TV dramas wrap up a month later, perhaps The Wind Chaser's online broadcasting volume will overtake that of With the Phoenix Walk, and Wang Yibo will reverse Zhao Liying.

Wind Chasers is broadcast on CCTV 8, while Walking with Phoenix is broadcast on Hunan TV. CCTV eight sets as a national TV platform, its ratings base is larger, and the audience group is more extensive, which makes the "wind chaser" in the platform on the advantage. Although Hunan TV has higher ratings among local TV stations, there is still a gap compared to the CCTV platform. The Wind Chaser is destined to win the ratings of Walking with Phoenix because it is broadcast on CCTV's 8 sets. If "Walking with the Phoenix" can't hold on to its advantage in the "webcast volume", then it will lose completely.

The story line, characterization, acting and production level of "Wind Chaser" have been well received by viewers and the media, and it is a sincere work with both novelty and historical respect. Before and on the day of the broadcast, the popularity and favorable comments were very high, but it is a bit of a "high start, but low finish" feeling. Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: regardless of the ratings of the two dramas and the number of webcasts, Wang Yibo and Zhao Liying's performance is still very good.

In The Wind Chaser, Wang Yibo played the character Wei Ruolai, and his image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience. Wang Yibo showed the character's step-by-step growth from an ordinary person to a talented financial elite, full of human feelings and life flavor. Especially when facing the torture of his mentor Shen Tunan, Wang Yibo's firm and unyielding performance was highly praised by the audience. However, in terms of emotional scenes, Wang Yibo's acting skills need to be further improved.

In this drama, Wang Yibo's youthful emotional scenes with Li Qin as well as his battle of wits with the villainous character were very well performed, but there were still some shortcomings in the handling of some details, such as the crying scene. Although Wang Yibo's acting skills still can't achieve the level of smoothness with Wang Yang and Li Qin, on the whole, Wang Yibo's performance in The Wind Chaser is still very good.

Zhao Liying's portrayal of Bicang King Shen Li in "Walking with the Phoenix" has been well received by the general public in terms of her portrayal and handling of emotional scenes. Zhao Liying's acting skills were highly regarded and she interpreted the role with her professionalism and dedication, sparking concerns about her handling of the role. In terms of styling, Zhao Liying's ancient costume look was charming and beautiful, attracting the attention of many viewers.

Zhao Liying's performance in the drama was also highly praised, especially in her handling of emotional scenes, which made her performance feel very real and sincere. However, some viewers also pointed out that there were problems with some of the plot and characterization in the drama, which was also her shortcoming in Walking with Phoenix. Overall, Zhao Liying's performance in "Walking with Phoenix" was still very good and recognized by the audience, and her acting skills were affirmed by the outside world.
