Ding Yuxi rose to fame with hit series like “The Romance of Tiger and Rose” and “Ever Night Galaxy”, becoming a rising star among China’s new generation of drama actors. His recent drama “Southern Files” achieved impressive ratings, and on the 9th, he will once again partner with Deng Enxi in the upcoming costume drama “Flowers Blooming in Splendor”. As soon as the official airing date for “Flowers Blooming in Splendor” was announced, Ding Yuxi’s fans immediately spent 9 million RMB (around 5.45 million MYR) to buy out 300,000 seats in online “cloud screenings” for promotional support. Previously, the highest record for cloud screenings among male stars born after 1995 was set by Zhang Linghe of “This Second Is Overheated”, with his fans buying out 200,000 seats. Now, Ding Yuxi has broken that record.
(Beijing, 5th) When Ding Yuxi’s “Southern Files” premiered in mid-June, his fans bought out 200,000 seats in online cloud screenings, with a total value of over 6 million RMB (about 3.63 million MYR), making him the first male idol born after 1995 to unlock the 200,000-seat-fan-cloud-screening achievement. However, prior to “Southern Files”, “Qiao Chu” female lead Chen Duling also received 200,000 fan cloud screening seats, and “Mo Li” female lead Bai Lu set the record among actresses with 300,000 cloud screening seats, making Ding Yuxi’s achievement feel rather ordinary in comparison.
Moreover, before “This Second Is Overheated” had even aired, male lead Zhang Linghe’s fans had already secured 200,000 cloud screening seats for him at the end of June, instantly matching Ding Yuxi’s mark. It has only been a month since “Southern Files” wrapped up, and Ding Yuxi’s new drama “Flowers Blooming in Splendor” is set to premiere on the 9th. Just after the official date was announced on the 4th, his fans once again showed off their “financial firepower” by buying out 300,000 online screening seats, totaling over 9 million RMB and surpassing both his own and Zhang Linghe’s records, making him the top male idol among his peers. In just two months, Ding Yuxi’s fans have spent more than 15 million RMB (about 9.09 million MYR) to support their idol, a testament to his strong influence.
