Chapter 86: The Mist Theater is a Huge Success!
This is the first time that any video platform has launched a suspense-themed theater, especially with its high-quality content and innovative theater operation model.
"The Hidden Corner" has only 12 episodes. This web series, with its movie-level production standards, completely breaks the traditional pattern of padded dramas.
The launch of the Mist Theater immediately boosted the reputation of Coolcat, with both industry professionals and audiences rushing to try it out!
Wu Chao is a sophomore in college. His biggest hobby after class is watching TV series.
However, TV dramas on video platforms nowadays often have sixty or seventy episodes, and many of them are branching plots. If you don't watch them, you're afraid of missing something, but if you do watch them, it doesn't affect the main storyline at all.
He often gets tired of following a series, but he never expected to see such a brand new format as the Mist Theater on Kugou Music.
"Wow, that's pretty cool. Twelve episodes in total, the story is fast-paced, full of suspense, it's really exciting!"
"KuMiao really is the industry leader. In comparison, Kiwi is a garbage platform. They take down top-rated dramas all the time. It's trash."
Wu Chao had been a member of Kiwifruit for a long time and appreciated Kiwifruit’s various innovative attempts. Kiwifruit was the first to launch its self-produced variety shows and dramas.
In particular, the novel "The Lost Tomb" made him a fan of kiwifruit, but little did he know that kiwifruit would be involved in one accident after another during this period.
On the other hand, Coolcat has launched a series of high-quality self-produced dramas of completely different types. This time, they have put a lot of effort into launching this brain-teasing and exciting suspenseful short drama.
"The leaders of the KuMiao platform are absolutely geniuses; they truly care about the users. The TV dramas and variety shows they produce are becoming increasingly sophisticated."
"The quality of 'The Hidden Corner' is just too good. Qin Hao, the god of art films, collaborating with the new generation actress Zhang Zifeng, is simply amazing."
Wu Chao watched with great enthusiasm; this kind of suspense drama was exactly to his liking.
Especially in this dark fairy tale style, the acting of young actress Zhang Zifeng is particularly amazing!
The background music for the little white boat in the show went viral online.

The employees of KuMiao were also paying close attention to the premiere data. Clearly, the concept of the Mist Theater this time completely subverted the audience's imagination.
Coupled with the solid script and superb acting skills of the entire cast, "The Hidden Corner" became a hit.
The Douban rating immediately broke 9 points, which is a very scary number!
The number of views was unprecedented. In just 24 hours after its premiere, it broke all the previous records of KuMiao and also broke the premiere record of any other platform!
The actors in this drama are not very famous and do not have many fans, but they have still sparked a nationwide discussion.

Mainstream media and authoritative institutions have also given Coolcat high praise and evaluation.

Originally, fans of kiwifruit were still praising "Yu Zui," believing that it was only taken down because of its content, but that it was the benchmark for online dramas.
However, with the release of "The Hidden Corner," its cinematic quality, profound exploration of human nature, and metaphors for society redefined the new heights of online dramas.
Those who supported kiwifruit also switched sides and became members of Coolcat.
With the release of the Mist Theater, audiences are eagerly anticipating more suspense dramas of this quality and craftsmanship to come.
In the following days, "The Hidden Corner" ratings soared again, and amidst nationwide discussion, it felt like you were missing out if you didn't watch it.
This directly led to a continuous increase in the number of Coolcat members!
The Mist Theater has become the most anticipated theater among all video platforms.
Many netizens left comments under "The Hidden Corner":
"Do you know how long it's been since I've seen a domestically produced drama like this?"
One week after its premiere, the show has already surpassed 20 billion views, and it has consistently ranked among the top three trending topics on Weibo.
The actors in this drama also reached the peak of their careers.
Especially the male lead, Qin Hao, who was originally just a third-rate art film actor, has now become a hot A-list male star.
Qin Hao's acting skills have captivated the audience, and his popularity has become a phenomenon this year!
Qin Hao's phenomenal rise to fame once again has shown the celebrities in the entertainment industry an astonishing legend.

Moreover, the actors selected by Tanglou were mostly unknown before their performances, but under Tanglou's guidance and instruction, they all became hugely famous.

Tang Lou felt a great sense of accomplishment from everyone's admiration and praise.
The Mist Theater was only launched in 2020 in the previous era, and even four years later it was still considered an explosive and innovative format, let alone being released four years ahead of schedule now.
The show "Heart Signal" inspired major TV stations and video platforms to imitate it and produce their own dating reality shows.
With the launch of the Mist Theater, it's safe to say that short-drama theater brands will soon become standard on video platforms.
Tanglou has begun to truly lead and drive the development of the entire industry.
His personal prestige naturally rose as well!
After Tanglou established the Mist Theater's industry position.
Shen Yan now had the biggest leverage to recommend Tang Lou for merit and promote him again.
Shen Yan was already very clear that if he wanted to take the next step, it all depended on Tang Lou's performance.
Therefore, he wanted to give Tang Lou enough rewards and encouragement so that he could work smoothly and steadily in the Hangzhou division of Coolcat and give full play to his talents.
