Last week, there were no super dramas in the drama market, and there was little difference in the popularity of the 5 dramas with a popularity of 80+. "The Years of the Great River" scored 8 on Douban last week6 (currently 8.)4), the word-of-mouth is not as good as the first two parts of the series, and there is a downward trend, but it is still the one with the best word-of-mouth among the new dramas that will be broadcast in 2024.
Last week, a total of 7 dramas were launched on major platforms, including 1 star drama, 1 online drama, and 5 micro-short dramas. Among these dramas, the Anti-Japanese War comedy "Dog Leftover Run" is recognizable because of its novel theme, and was expected by many netizens in the early stage of the broadcast.
The picture below shows the TOP20 of last week's drama webcast index, and there are 5 dramas with a popularity of 80+, namely "Love for a Long Time", "Flowers", "Pray for Today", "The Years of the Great River Are Like Songs" and "If Running Is My Life". These dramas propped up last week's ** market, but the webcast index was in the range of 80-85, and the popularity gap was not large.
Among the new dramas last week, only "Dog Leftover Run" entered the list, and the popularity level was 65+, and the attention was relatively low. It is worth noting that the popularity gap between "Sword and Fairy IV" and "Sword and Fairy 6" and "Pray for the Present Dynasty", which were broadcast at the same time, gradually widened in the second week of broadcasting.
In last week's micro-short drama track, the most popular is still "My Name is Zhao Wudi", and the webcast index of the show remained at a high level of 50+ in the second week of its launch, and the market response was enthusiastic. In addition, last week's new drama "Millennium Love Tribulation" and "Tibetan Medicine Order", which entered its second week, also performed well, with webcast indices reaching 39+.
Last week, the high-reputation drama "The Years of the Great River" scored on Douban, and 20,000+ netizens scored 86 points (currently 8.)4), compared with the first two parts of the "Great River" series, they are as high as 88 points of good reputation, and now the third part has a slightly inferior reputation, but it is still excellent.
The reality drama "If Running Is My Life" opened on Douban last week, with a score of 75 points, which has a good reputation in similar themes.
In addition, Tencent**X Theater's "Black Soil Without Words" fell in word-of-mouth last week, and this suspense drama had a high reputation at the beginning of the broadcast, but the word-of-mouth response after the broadcast was not as expected.
Last week's drama character index performance is as follows, the characters with a higher character index are Huang Yingzi of "To Love for a Long Time", and the female protagonist Yue Qi and the male protagonist Yue Jinchao of "Pray for Today". These two dramas are also works that performed well in last week's popularity.
Although the popularity of "Our Translator" and "Sword and Fairy IV" failed to reach the 80th level, the characters in the play, such as Lin Xi, the heroine of "Our Translator", Han Lingsha, the heroine of "Sword and Fairy IV", and Yun Tianhe, the male protagonist, all have high popularity among fans.
