Chapter 1570: Chapter 829: Changing the Landscape of Domestic Dramas

Feiyue Home streaming media platform homepage. freёwebnoѵel.com

["The Legend of Fairy Sword" premieres tonight at 8 PM!]

A huge banner notification on the homepage ensures that every user who logs into the Feiyue Home streaming media platform sees the message—today is the premiere day for the Xianxia drama "The Legend of Fairy Sword."

Apart from the homepage banner ad on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform, the official accounts of Mist City Arts and Science University, "The Legend of Fairy Sword," and Feiyue Group have all posted corresponding tweets to give the drama a little promotional push.

However, outside of these platforms, Feiyue Media hasn’t purchased any other ads, relying simply on their own platform and accounts for casual promotion.

After all, whether a drama becomes a hit isn’t about advertising or trending marketing—what matters is solid quality. Nowadays, audiences aren’t fools.

If a Chinese drama is genuinely good, online viewers will voluntarily spread the word and increase its popularity.

On the other hand, if it’s a trashy Chinese drama, not only will it be ignored, it might experience another kind of "fire"—getting endlessly criticized. In such cases, videos mocking the show might rack up millions of views, while the drama’s own streaming numbers will undoubtedly remain stagnant.

After all, if you already know it’s a pile of crap, it’s unlikely anyone would volunteer to take a bite, right?

"Is it finally airing?"

"I’ve been waiting for ages!"

"I remember it was supposed to premiere in March, but now it’s been delayed to April. Finally, it’s happening today."

"I fell in love with this Xianxia drama just from the trailer. Can’t wait for the premiere!"

"Do we need a membership?"

"Where can we watch it? Is it on Penguin Video? Will there be early access episodes?"

"Can we watch it on AiYi Video?"

"Stop asking! ’The Legend of Fairy Sword’ is produced by Feiyue Media, of course it’s being aired on Feiyue Home streaming media platform."

"Honestly, Feiyue Home is doing a pretty great job."

"Oh yeah, another drama to watch on Feiyue Home!"

"From the trailer, the male lead looks handsome, and the female lead is beautiful too."

"The female lead totally hits my aesthetic—they’re so charming."

"Isn’t the actress playing Zhao Ling’er that campus belle Zhang Yu from Mist City Arts and Science University? She’s totally on the national goddess level—love her!"

"She really is stunning. When Mist City Arts and Science University held the campus belle contest, I already liked Zhang Yu’s looks."

"Quietly waiting for the premiere of ’The Legend of Fairy Sword’ tonight."

Netizens are incredibly excited for this classic Xianxia drama, "The Legend of Fairy Sword."

Although many viewers already know where to watch "The Legend of Fairy Sword," there are still some who want to catch it but don’t know on which platform or TV station it’s airing.

After all, prior to this, most people watched Chinese dramas on Penguin Video or AiYi Video, but this time they found that neither platform’s homepage mentioned anything about "The Legend of Fairy Sword."

Usually, when a drama is about to go live, streaming platforms promote it on their homepages.

"Let me say it again—watch it on Feiyue Home streaming media platform!"

"Honestly, there’s nothing good to watch on Penguin Video lately. I don’t even feel like renewing my membership anymore. And even after getting a membership, they still show ads. It’s just disgusting."

"What do you know about ’Member-exclusive ads’? (insert smirk emoji)"

"Haha—besides member-exclusive ads, there’s also member-exclusive early-bird episodes. Being a member is basically pointless!"

"Does Feiyue Home streaming media platform have a membership system?"

"Seems like, as of now, Feiyue Home streaming media platform doesn’t have a membership system or any ads."

"The layout of Feiyue Home’s platform looks so clean and refreshing—no ads at all, feels amazing."

"I’m signing up for Feiyue Home right now!"

"Is tonight’s premiere of ’The Legend of Fairy Sword’ really airing on Feiyue Home?"

"For those who don’t know, does watching ’The Legend of Fairy Sword’ on Feiyue Home require payment?"

"Of course it does. Didn’t the official announcement already say it’s a pay-per-view drama?"

"Honestly, charging viewers is understandable. Streaming platforms overseas have been following the model of buying individual dramas or movies for a while now."

"With the rise of streaming platforms, the trend is shifting toward pay-per-view models rather than the domestic membership-based system."

Gradually, online discussions began focusing on the payment aspect of "The Legend of Fairy Sword."

Most users seemed to have no issues with the payment model. After all, in this Parallel World, both domestic and international copyright awareness is pretty strong.

Many users gladly support the idea of charging for a drama. This is one of the reasons why, in the past, platforms like Penguin Video, AiYi Video’s VIP system, and Bilibili’s premium membership had such large user bases.

In the official announcement posted on "The Legend of Fairy Sword’s" Twitter account this morning, it clearly stated that the drama would be aired on Feiyue Home streaming media platform as a paid program.
