Zhou Ye hits 10000 on popularity index

The Tencent war-themed drama Legend of the Female General has just dropped its 10th episode, and Tencent Video is reporting female lead He Yan (played by Zhou Ye) has already hit 10 million on the character popularity index.

A Tencent celebratory visual of the actress playing He Yan was uploaded to Weibo this morning, along with the comment:

#He Yan/Zhou Ye’s character popularity breaks 10 million#

Iron cavalry raises the sand, defending Chang’an. Congratulations to Zhou Ye (@周也yeah) for breaking 10 million character popularity on Tencent Video!

He Yan’s exclusive dynamic costume gift pack has been unlocked. Come to the #锦月如歌# discussion area to express your love and support.

Continuous confessions will help the popularity rise

In other words, Chinese fans of the drama should just keep doing what they’re doing, and He Yan’s popularity will rise even further, right?

Legend of the Female General has also hit the huge milestone of 25,000 on Tencent Video’s heat index as of this morning. (25000 being the milestone Tencent usually uses to show a drama is a big success of the platform).

The Chinese drama itself premiered on Tencent and WeTV on August 6th, and has been going gangbusters ever since.

It is currently being rated a very high 8.6 out of 10 from viewers using My Drama List, and is also garnering a similarly high 8.4 out of 10, although that’s from only 24 viewers so far.

Update: Legend of the Female General‘s Xiao Jue (played by Cheng Lei) has also just reached 10 million character popularity points
