Chapter 1571: Chapter 829: Changing the Landscape of Domestic Dramas_2

As for the charging model, the official team for The Legend of Fairy Sword didn’t disclose it, leaving a small mystery for the audience to personally uncover at 8 p.m. tonight.

Time ticked by second by second.

The viewers eagerly anticipating The Legend of Fairy Sword couldn’t help but feel that time was dragging unbearably. At work, their minds were consumed with the thought that The Legend of Fairy Sword was about to go live soon, leaving them unwilling to focus on their tasks.

Finally.

Time reached 8 p.m.

Even before 8, the number of online users on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform had been displaying a rapid growth trend.

For instance, at 6 p.m., there were just over one million users online. By a little past 7 p.m., the online audience had swiftly surpassed three million, marching confidently toward the five million mark.

By 8 p.m., when The Legend of Fairy Sword officially premiered on Feiyue Home, the number of online users had already exceeded five million.

What does it mean for simultaneous online users to exceed five million?

It’s worth noting that prior to this, the daily active users of the Feiyue Home streaming platform barely reached over ten million.

On Feiyue Home’s homepage, the featured banner for The Legend of Fairy Sword stood out, drawing many users directly into the show’s viewing interface.

Drama: The Legend of Fairy Sword

Genre: Classical Xianxia

Episodes: 34 episodes (complete)

...

That’s right, all the users who clicked into The Legend of Fairy Sword viewing page were utterly stunned to discover that all 34 episodes of the series were released at once.

The entire series!

This was entirely different from the serialized, daily-update model typically used by Penguin Video and AiYi Video!

The excruciating wait for updates—truly unbearable—was no longer an issue on the Feiyue Home streaming platform. Here, you could jump straight into binge-watching the entire series.

Releasing an entire new drama in one go upon launch? This was the first time this had ever happened domestically!

"Holy shit! I can binge the entire series in one go?"

"Did the admin make a mistake backstage with the episode count?"

"Isn’t it two episodes for the premiere, with extra for VIP members or something?"

"Hahaha, this is way too awesome!"

"Amazing! The whole series is available!"

"31 yuan?"

"31 yuan isn’t pricey at all."

"You can watch the first three episodes for free, and if you calculate it, it’s just one yuan per episode. The entire series is priced at 31 yuan—a truly conscientious price!"

"31 yuan wouldn’t even cover premium early-access episodes on Penguin Video!"

"Feiyue Home is so considerate!"

"I’m watching all 34 episodes today!"

"Bro, you think you can watch all 34 episodes in one day?"

"Buy, buy, buy!"

The viewers and netizens, realizing the situation, were incredibly excited.

Seriously, releasing an entire new series all at once? This was almost unimaginable on platforms like Penguin Video and AiYi Video. But on Feiyue Home streaming platform, it was happening, and it seemed this would likely become their strategy going forward—allowing viewers to purchase and binge-watch the whole series right after a show’s launch.

Now that’s a healthy ecosystem for TV dramas.

Some even exclaimed that Feiyue Home streaming platform’s move in releasing The Legend of Fairy Sword had fundamentally shifted the landscape of domestic TV dramas!

Feiyue Home streaming platform and The Legend of Fairy Sword had become a refreshing force in the realm of domestic dramas and online platforms.

In a short amount of time, Feiyue Home streaming media platform had gained a stellar reputation among netizens.

Now, the platform’s reputation was growing steadily.

The next test, though, was whether The Legend of Fairy Sword could also earn favorable reviews.

Since The Legend of Fairy Sword had just premiered at 8 p.m., it would take some time before viewers could start sharing their opinions—the earliest reactions wouldn’t appear until they had watched a few episodes.

At Mist City Arts and Science University at the moment.

Ding Yue had "clocked out" and returned to his apartment.

"Big White, turn on the projector."

Ding Yue instructed the AI assistant robot, Big White, next to him.

Beep!

Big White immediately activated its projection mode, positioning the display at a perfect spot so Ding Yue could comfortably lie on his soft bed and watch.

"Access Feiyue Home. I want to watch The Legend of Fairy Sword."

Ding Yue rested his hands behind his head, leaning back on the bed in complete relaxation, ready to indulge in the show.

Although Ding Yue had watched the classic Xianxia drama The Legend of Fairy Sword countless times on his previous life’s Earth, this adaptation was performed by a completely new cast.

No Hu, no Liu Yifei. The female lead this time was a fellow student from Mist City Arts and Science University, selected through a painstaking audition process—Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu had undergone rigorous training to improve her acting skills just to prepare for this role. All credit to her hard work, the director even remarked that Zhang Yu’s grasp of subtle details was commendable. Her portrayal of Zhao Ling’er as a naïve and cheerful girl at the beginning of the series was truly spot-on.

Hearing such praise from the director reassured Ding Yue.

Zhang Yu certainly hadn’t let him down. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

When the opening theme of The Legend of Fairy Sword appeared on the screen, along with the familiar melody, Ding Yue felt as though he had traveled back to his previous life on Earth.

This nostalgic sensation was one Ding Yue had experienced before.

However, now that he had settled into this Parallel World, he didn’t dwell on his previous life on Earth too much anymore.

"That familiar feeling, that familiar flavor. The question is how this fresh set of actors and the director’s skills will measure up," Ding Yue mused with anticipation.

Since Ding Yue had been busy before, he hadn’t had the chance to watch the final cut of The Legend of Fairy Sword prior to its release. Unlike other movies and animations, which he would typically review before they premiered, this time he hadn’t watched it beforehand.

Now Ding Yue only had one thought—that The Legend of Fairy Sword must not flop.

A flop would inevitably affect the reputation of both Feiyue Media and the Feiyue Home streaming platform to some extent.

But.

Ding Yue remained confident in The Legend of Fairy Sword, believing it wouldn’t disappoint him or the audience.

With The Legend of Fairy Sword already underway, Ding Yue decided to put such concerns aside for now.

He would simply enjoy watching the show in peace.

And so, as Ding Yue watched the series, he became deeply immersed, almost as if embodying Li Xiaoyao’s character himself.

Before he realized it, one episode had followed another, and by the time Ding Yue snapped out of it, it was already past 1 a.m.

Seeing Ding Yue shake off his binge-watching daze, Big White softly reminded him, "Principal, moderation in binge-watching is good for your health."

"Hahahaha, got it, Big White," Ding Yue chuckled, stretching lazily.

After binging for over five hours non-stop, he felt quite exhausted. What made it even more intense was that the five hours were entirely seamless—no ads, no opening or closing credits, offering a truly uninterrupted experience.

Feiyue Home’s "seamless binge-watching" mode was indeed brilliantly designed.

You could configure your settings to choose the "seamless binge-watching" mode, and with that, the entire series would play continuously, skipping all opening and closing segments after each episode, making the viewing experience unbelievably smooth!

Stretching out, Ding Yue decided not to keep watching for now. Instead, he picked up his phone to check on the audience reviews for The Legend of Fairy Sword.
