Amidst the noise, Bai Jingting's film "Nam Lai Bac Vang" still sets a rating record

Recently, the Chinese TV series "Nan Lai Bac Vang" aired on CCTV achieved a viewership rating of 3.9922%. The series broke the record of last year's hit "Current Wind" (rating of 3.9912%), becoming the highest rated series in history on CCTV8.

"South to North" starring Bai Jingting, Ding Yongda, and Jin Chen is set in the late 1970s, on a steam train from Ningyang to Harbin. The film revolves around the relationship between young police officer Wang Bin (Bai Jingting) and former railway police officer Ma Kui (Ding Yongda), who is a wanted criminal.

Wang Xin and Ma Kui, two generations of railway police, from not accepting each other gradually came to understand and care for each other. They passed on their professional passion to each other, fighting side by side on the railway security line...

The male lead, Wang Xin, played by Bai Jingting, also topped the hottest drama character rankings compiled by Vlinkage, surpassing 9.03 points. “Nam Lai Bac Vang” also ranked No. 1 on the media index rankings of TV dramas.

Notably, the film set a record while actor Bai Jingting was embroiled in many scandals.

During a performance with Wei Daxun and Wei Chen on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve (February 9), Bai Jingting was accused of deliberately wearing a different colored outfit from his two colleagues to make himself stand out. Afterwards, the actor continued to be criticized for "taking" Wei Chen's place on stage.

This scandal has led to a series of other criticisms aimed at the actor. He is accused of repeatedly "playing dirty" on his colleagues, using "tricks" to enhance his reputation...

However, many viewers believe that despite the controversy, it cannot be denied that Bai Jingting's performance in the movie "Nam Lai Bac Vang" is very good. The controversy about his personal life does not seem to affect the movie's rating.

Currently, Bai Jingting is participating in filming "Hard to Coax" with the male lead Tang Dien. Zhang Ruo Nan plays the female lead Wen Yi Fan. However, in this work, the actor is embroiled in controversy, when fans of the original novel think that he is not suitable for the character Tang Dien.
