Chapter 34 was a huge hit, completely overshadowing "Darker 2".
The continued popularity of "Darker 2" has put increasing pressure on the staff of the self-produced drama studio.
Li Jing and Chen Ling, as the first batch of employees to join the studio, have been keeping a close eye on the relevant developments these past two days.
Seeing that Tang Lou remained calm, Li Jing finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"President Tang, the popularity of 'Darker 2' remains high, and now there are quite a few voices online criticizing our new drama."
"This is our studio's first major production. How come you don't seem nervous at all? We haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days."
Faced with his employees' questions, Tang Lou smiled and calmly replied:
"Darker 2 is indeed good, but our show is just as good. In terms of production quality and compelling storyline, it can definitely withstand the pressure."
"Just focus on your work, and you'll see how amazing our team is once it airs."
"As our first big project, if it succeeds, everyone will receive a substantial bonus."
Tang Lou's confidence and determination instantly inspired the studio's employees.
"As expected of President Tang, this mindset and confidence are something we can't have."
Besides the studio interior.
Director Lin Yufeng, seeing how well "Darker 2" was doing on Tencent Video, also became somewhat worried.
The script, casting, and marketing of "Eternal Love" were basically carried out according to Tang Lou's ideas. Although Lin Yufeng was confident in the quality of the TV series she produced, she really had no idea about the market feedback.
Especially with Tencent's massive promotional efforts, will their show still be a hit after its release?
After all, "Darker 2" is a completely different genre. Kiwi's previous "The Lost Tomb" was also a new genre, while his own drama follows his consistent style, a classic ancient costume fantasy drama. With "The Journey of Flower" as a precedent, will the audience get tired of it?
Moreover, will the characters Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Zhao Youting be able to break out of their niche?
Market feedback and audience preferences are really hard to predict. Unless you can foresee the future, who would dare to make a guarantee?
All Lin Yufeng could do was contribute a little effort, promoting his new work on social media and cooperating with Tanglou on marketing.
During the second week of the broadcast of "Darker 2", "Eternal Love" was finally released!
The cover images of the KuMiao Video website and app have all been changed to promotional images for "Eternal Love".
The artists of Jiaxing Media mobilized all their employees for publicity. Led by Yang Mi and Dilraba, the "Yang Family Army" quickly gained momentum and dominated Weibo's trending topics.
The official account of "Produce 101" also used the remaining popularity of all the members of Rocket Girls to promote the TV series. The audience of "Produce 101" is mainly female, which is very much in line with the audience of fantasy dramas and female-led dramas.

As soon as it went online, it became a hot topic on Weibo, trending on various platforms.
Compared to the audience and promotion of "Darker 2", "Eternal Love" is a complete game-changer.
Especially in terms of the overall cast, it achieved an absolute crushing victory.
The Weibo post garnered over 200 million views on the same day, and the short video received over 500 million views!
As a phenomenal fantasy drama from the previous era, and released two years ahead of schedule, this well-made masterpiece with perfect costumes and props has been launched.
Viewers were treated to a visual feast. The already massive traffic, coupled with solid word-of-mouth and quality, directly ignited the entire internet.
Moreover, this was an exclusive drama broadcast on KuMiao, which immediately attracted a large number of viewers to KuMiao and subscribe to its membership.
Compared to talent shows like "Produce 101," which have a relatively narrow audience, "Eternal Love" is definitely suitable for all ages.
Within just 24 hours of its release, "Eternal Love" broke the click record set by "The Lost Tomb" not long ago, thanks to its strong marketing and pre-release hype!
The viewership of "Darker 2" was also directly affected. During the period when "Eternal Love" was released, its viewership was the highest across the entire network, far surpassing that of "Darker 2"!
The related characters have also become very popular.
Yang Mi played multiple roles in the drama, and her acting skills were recognized by the audience, who considered it to be a new peak for her.
Although Zhao Youting's portrayal of Ye Hua was controversial in terms of appearance, his acting skills were so good that he was called "transformative acting" by the audience. He successfully created the image of a deeply affectionate and stoic prince, winning over countless fans.
Dilraba, who has been the most popular celebrity this year, has become a sensation again.
Her portrayal of Bai Fengjiu, with her devoted and adorable image, combined with her good looks and acting skills, made her the most outstanding and popular character in the series!
Zhang Bingbing's portrayal of Li Jing, a charming, suave yet deeply affectionate character, immediately went viral upon her first appearance, her alluring and domineering presence also propelling her to new heights of popularity.
Gao Weiguang's portrayal of Donghua Dijun, with his white hair, was equally stunning and was hailed by viewers as one of the most handsome white-haired characters, gaining widespread popularity.
A TV series that has only been airing for a short time has already produced so many popular characters; it's definitely going to be a phenomenon.

Sun Sisi is a young white-collar worker in the city.
After get off work, I like to stay in my room and watch TV series.
She had watched every episode of "Produce 101" before, and she really liked Yang Chaoyue. She also watched Dilraba's "Diamond Lover" and loved the character Gao Wen.
So when I found out that Yang Chaoyue and Dilraba were both in "Eternal Love", I booked them well in advance.
As soon as the TV series was released, she immediately opened KuMei to watch it.
"Wow, the costumes and props in this TV series are so exquisite."
"The story is also very good, I love it."
"Oh, my favorite Dilraba is here."
"Haha, this little fox is so cute, acting all adorable."
Sun Sisi immediately opened Douban, wrote a review, and gave "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" a five-star rating.
After watching the first few episodes, Sun Sisi didn't hesitate for a second and immediately subscribed to advanced viewing to watch the episodes that would be released next week.
"Oh my, it's so beautiful. I can't wait even a second longer."
After watching the advanced episodes, Sun Sisi replayed the most exciting parts.
"Since we've already spent the money, we have to be meticulous and not overlook a single detail."
"Wow, Dilraba is so cute. I'm going to recommend her to my girlfriends."
There are so many viewers like Sun Sisi who, after watching, either post comments or recommend the show to WeChat groups and their Moments.
The topic of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" went viral on Weibo, trending on the hot search list.
Coolcat Data Analysis Department.
After analyzing the relevant data, the analyst was completely stunned and immediately sent a brief report of the data to the group.
"It's a hit! It's a hit! 24 hours after our new drama 'Eternal Love' aired, the related data has already crushed 'Darker 2'. The popularity on Weibo and related topics are far ahead."
"Especially the characters in this drama, they have basically all become popular."
"The most influential one is Dilraba, who is fully supported by President Tang! Judging from this, Dilraba is the undisputed number one artist this year, with two phenomenal hits and two phenomenal breakout roles!"
Previously, some people were worried that "Darker 2" would affect the premiere data of "Eternal Love". Unexpectedly, it didn't even qualify to help "Eternal Love". The difference is too big.
In just 48 hours, the number of topics, reposts, and comments related to Dilraba Dilmurat and Bai Fengjiu has already surpassed the data for the entire series of "Darker 2".
"Eternal Love" became an unattainable dream after just one appearance.
