Overseasidol.com — Singer and actor Liu Yuning recently shared his thoughts about the current state of the entertainment industry, criticizing its overemphasis on viewership statistics and popularity rankings.
Speaking during a livestream, he expressed that both actors and production teams have become trapped by numbers, often losing focus on the true value of the dramas themselves.
According to Liu Yuning, many series today rely heavily on promotional campaigns centered around data, such as total views and trending charts.
However, he pointed out that despite impressive statistics, many of these shows are not genuinely watched by large audiences.
He believes this focus on numbers can lead to misguided marketing strategies and may even reduce audience interest.
Liu emphasized that promotions should instead highlight the storylines, performances, and characters, rather than solely focusing on metrics.
He encouraged viewers to enjoy dramas with a pure mindset, finding simple happiness through the narratives rather than being swayed by figures.
“The most important thing is for the audience to discover the simplest joy in watching dramas, not just be influenced by data,” Liu Yuning said.
His comments resonated widely with fans, many of whom agreed that quality storytelling matters far more than statistics.
