The Legend of the White Snake concludes; in-depth analysis of the actors' performances: 2 achieve legendary status, 3 have promising futures, and she received zero negative reviews.

"The Legend of the White Snake, produced by Myth Entertainment and created by Cheng Cheng, officially concluded yesterday."

Its star-making effect can be described as a "nuclear explosion" event in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years.

Zhong Meng, the newcomer actress who plays Bai Suzhen, has captivated audiences worldwide with her ethereal image and professional acting skills, and the character's popularity index has far surpassed that of the entire series.

Jiang Xuan has also gained a huge following with his gentle and refined image. To date, Jiang Xuan has 8 million followers on social media, surpassing many celebrities who were previously recognized as top stars.

Qu Yihe, who plays the second female lead Xiaoqing, also unexpectedly rose to fame. Dramatically, Qu Yihe was previously just a short drama actress. She signed up for the audition for "The Legend of the White Snake" on a whim and was unexpectedly selected.
According to data from EntGroup, the drama helped seven actors rise to the top tier during its broadcast, and the search volume for supporting actors increased by an average of 300%. Myth Entertainment may have become a star-making assembly line!
The show's global influence was also amplified.

"The Legend of the White Snake" was simultaneously released in several Southeast Asian countries, and after its release, it continued to rank first in viewership ratings in five countries including Annam, Vientiane, and Luzon.

Overseas audiences not only shed tears for the tragic love story of the White Snake and Xu Xian, but also enthusiastically embraced the ink-wash painting-like Eastern aesthetics in the drama—scenes such as the Broken Bridge in the rain, the Buddha's light at Leifeng Pagoda, and the flying sword dance were praised as "visual wonders," and the hashtag #ChineseFantasy has surpassed 7 million views on TikTok.

Cultural scholars point out that the secret to the drama's success lies in "breaking through three barriers":
"The Legend of the White Snake" became a phenomenal global phenomenon, demonstrating that Myth Entertainment has the ability to mass-produce world-class blockbusters.

Two weeks after the finale of "The Legend of the White Snake," its popularity remains undiminished.

Zhong Meng, Jiang Xuan, and Qu Yihe are receiving so many offers for announcements and endorsements that they can't keep up.

Among them, Zhong Meng's success was the most remarkable, securing six new endorsements in a single week, covering three major sectors: high-end jewelry, skincare, and popular beverages. Next was Jiang Xuan, who quickly became a favorite in the men's luxury market, winning endorsements from multiple luxury brands.

Qu Yihe is slightly less impressive, but compared to other celebrities in the entertainment industry, she is already quite good.

However, some people in the entertainment industry disagree.

A well-known critic in the Chinese entertainment industry posted on Weibo, saying, "The real strength is not in making newcomers famous, but in ensuring that the newcomers who are made famous do not become a flash in the pan."

Just half an hour after this Weibo post was published, netizens accused it of being a direct reference to Myth Entertainment.

Subsequently, a gossip blogger posted a screenshot of a business registration information document.

It turns out that this guy's real name is Zhou Yuanming, and he is a 30% shareholder and director of the brokerage company "Xingtuji".

Now netizens understand. It turns out that the company behind this guy spent a fortune on three top-tier variety shows last year to promote their signed artist, Lin Weiwei, but it still didn't work. This year, the young heartthrob Zhou Yi, whose drama series didn't even get a fraction of the viewership of "The Legend of the White Snake."

No wonder this guy is so sour; it turns out he's jealous and thinks "The Legend of the White Snake" is blocking his artist's path.

Cheng Cheng then posted a Weibo post with only four characters: "A roadside stall".

It made netizens laugh out loud.

Frog Bro is indeed a man of strong character; he'll readily confront anyone who dares to mess with him.

Currently, Shinhwa Entertainment has a very large talent pool.

The one sitting on the top floor was naturally Cheng Cheng.

He is not only a dominant figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also a superstar on a global scale.

Next are Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian.

Both of them possess both popularity and acting skills, with numerous works to their name, making them a unique presence in Myth Entertainment. They are considered the only two top-tier stars in the Chinese entertainment industry after the turn of the millennium (excluding Cheng Cheng), and they have already surpassed their own age group.

Next is the layer with Jiang Jun, Li Yang, and Le Zhanlin.

Jiang Jun has become a global star thanks to "Friends", but unfortunately, he only has popularity and no real strength. His acting skills are only passable and he does not have any significant representative works. Therefore, he can only be considered one level below Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian.

Li Yang possesses both popularity and acting skills. He was one of the earliest people to work with Cheng Cheng and played the male lead in "All In". With the accumulation of many years of works, his fan base is not to be underestimated. At the same time, his acting skills are also quite good. With so many years of experience, he can be considered a good actor.

Le Zhanlin joined Shinhwa relatively late, but he had already been famous for a long time before joining Shinhwa. With the support of several dramas such as "The Three-Body Problem" and "I Am a Criminal Police", he can be considered a top-tier candidate for the high school entrance examination.

Taking the Chinese entertainment industry in his previous life as an example, he was at the same level as Huang Bo.

The fourth tier consists of Wang Hong, Zhang Zijie, and Nilu Kezi.

This tier is considered to be on the lower end of the first-tier category, and all of them have obvious shortcomings.

For example, Wang Hong's weakness is that she is lacking in both popularity and works. She is not as popular as Jiang Jun, nor as good as Li Yang and Le Zhanlin. Her most outstanding representative work to date is still Cheng Xiaomei in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

Zhang Zijie and Nilu Kezi can only be considered variety show personalities. They have a lot of traffic and fans, but in terms of real status in the industry, they can only be considered among the younger generation. Compared to figures like Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian, who have already exceeded the limitations of their age group, they are far behind.

After the fourth tier, there are the newcomers who became popular through a few dramas.

For example, Su Simin and Xu Rui, who played Han Duoduo and Liu Qi in "The Wandering Earth", Lu Ming, who played Zhuge Dali in "iPartment 5", and Zhong Meng, Jiang Xuan, and Qu Yihe in "The Legend of the White Snake".

They are all promising new actors, and can be considered in the fifth tier.

However, compared to veterans who have been in the industry for four or five years, they are still relatively inexperienced and need more works to maintain their status.

After the fifth tier, there are the sixth and seventh tiers, and these artists number much more, making up the majority. Within Shinhwa Entertainment, there are two to three hundred or more. This is Shinhwa Entertainment's current strength. (End of Chapter)
