[I also saw marketing accounts releasing news, claiming that "Crossing the Demon Realm" would premiere on Great Xia TV. They even said that Si Fuqing, lacking funds for marketing, should not be expected too much from a star. Expecting too much only leads to disappointment.]
[Isn't the answer obvious? If you were Great Xia TV, would you choose Tong Luoyun, the foremost among the top four actresses, guaranteed to attract viewers, or Si Fuqing, a newcomer with hardly any background in TV dramas?
Moreover, historical dramas are more likely to be broadcast on major networks. I admit that Tang Haiqiu's dramas are reliable, but isn't the director of "Great Zhao Dynasty," Xu Ce, also a veteran? Have people forgotten his "JIANG Family General"?]
