The movie Lam Giang Tien, starring Bach Loc and Tang Thuan Hy, is a hotly debated topic on Chinese social networks. After 10 days of airing on the Iqiyi platform, Lam Giang Tien has reached 10,000 ho.t points.
However, contrary to the joy from the film crew and fans, Sohu page and many viewers questioned: Is Lam Giang Tien falsifying data?
On online platforms like Iqiyi and Youku, the heat score is an important indicator that reflects the level of audience interest, search, and interaction with a film. When the heat score exceeds 10,000, it is a sign that the film is really a hit and is leading the media race. But what makes Lam Giang Tien the focus of suspicion is that the high heat score does not match the real level of public discussion.
10,000 heat points Lam Giang Tien has hidden story?
Since its release, Lam Giang Tien has had thousands of ho.t searches, but most of them are negative, with criticisms about the content, special effects, costumes, and acting. Notably, the film has no viral scenes, and has not created any significant memes or trends on social networks, which are common characteristics of films with high heat scores. So the question is, why can a film that receives dozens of negative comments still break the 10,000 mark?
To better understand this anomaly, let's compare Lam Giang Tien with previous films that have reached the 10,000 mark on Iqiyi.
In 2023, the blockbuster Cuong Phong with its widespread popularity, attracting hundreds of millions of views per day, took 4 days to increase from 9,500 to 10,000 heat points - a number considered reasonable when compared to the huge number of views (average 200 million views per episode).
On the contrary, Lam Giang Tien only needed 3 days to increase from 9,500 to 10,000 even though the average number of views per episode was less than 20 million, much lower than Cuong Phong. This made many viewers suspect that the film was "watered down" and had fake data to achieve success.
Another example is Bleach, the first Iqiyi drama in 2025 to reach a heat score of 10,000. Despite the controversy, Bleach still has an average view per episode of over 50 million, double that of Lam Giang Tien and deserves the title of ho.t drama. Meanwhile, Lam Giang Tien only had 1 day to reach the 50 million view mark and the average view is still below 20 million.
Not stopping there, other films such as Nam Lai Bac Vang or Vo Uu Do received attention and positive praise from the public but still could not reach the 10,000 mark. Compared to these two works, Lam Giang Tien became even more suspicious.
"Fake data" from fans and platform algorithms?
According to analysis from Sohu, Iqiyi's heat score is not only based on views but also takes into account factors such as search frequency, number of comments, number of playback devices, number of new users... This has opened up opportunities for fans to "run the data" by ways such as continuously playing playback on multiple devices, spamming comments or inviting relatives to "play" together to increase interaction.
Fans of Lam Giang Tien are really enthusiastic in the race for achievements. Some people even openly share the strategy of "supporting data", creating a phenomenon called "fan data" - that is, contributing most of the index not from the audience but from within the fandom.
Lam Giang was 'pumped with water' to 'save' Bach Loc's name
Even as the crew celebrated loudly, many viewers were still skeptical. On Douban, the film continuously received 1-star reviews and was called "the most virtual data film to break the 10,000 mark in history". The female lead, Bai Lu, was also satirized as "the water queen" (virtual data queen) because she had 3 films that reached 10,000 points but were all questioned about their quality. This significantly affected the audience's perception of Bai Lu's acting ability, showing signs of decline.
With her natural acting, good expressions and diverse transformation ability, Bach Loc was once loved through films such as Chau Sinh Nhu Co or Canh Sat Vinh Du. However, in the past 2 years, the way Bach Loc chose scripts made the audience worried when the works she participated in were continuously criticized for their content, and her roles were repetitive to the point of boredom.
Lam Giang Tien was once expected to be the next step in Bach Loc's career but ended up becoming a controversial film. It is not surprising that the film only received a score of 5.8 on Douban.
With her recent choices, Bach Loc is gradually losing her original form. It's not just the script problem, her consistent and uncreative acting is also making the audience bored.
Bach Loc exploded in acting, straining and screaming until her neck was bulging, fans felt pai.n for the character Bảo Yến09:07:00 19/06/2025Recently, Bach Loc had a remarkable comeback in the movie Lam Giang Tien. The actress transformed into the character Hoa Nhu Nguyet, who has a love-hate relationship with the male lead. In the first episodes, Bach Loc's acting was still controversial.
