Chapter 702: All Eyes on The Premiere!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
All major film and television companies had been keeping tabs on Relentless Swordsman and Best Time. They were ready to analyze both shows in every way possible, but the news left them momentarily shocked.
“What’s the situation? Why is Drawing Sword joining in the fun?”
“F*ck. China Central TV? It’s going to be aired on China Central TV?”
“Is this madman going to go head to head with those other two shows?”
“How long did they film Drawing Sword? Barely more than a month, right? F*ck!”
“Damn. What kind of Godspeed is this? Surely they’re just winging it!”
“Where did they get the confidence to confront these little fresh meats?”
…
Weibo, Tieba, Entertainment News, and practically the entire network, was sent into a frenzy.
[Damn! Is this for real?]
[This is insane. Actor Y has lost his marbles!]
[This is Interesting. Singer Y recently taught these little fresh meats how to be a man, while Actor Y suddenly announced he would confront them. The Ys are collectively targeting little fresh meats. This is awesome!]
[I support Actor Y! Annihilate those little fresh meats!]
[Damn! Is this trashy military drama trying to get in on the fun? They can’t possibly be thinking of going up against the other two, right?]
[Isn’t this just troublemaking? I feel that Y is playing his cards in an unreasonable manner.]
[Don’t any of you see it? This is China Central TV! Drawing Sword is being broadcast on China Central TV!]
[It really is! F*ck. This is just amazing! It’s a whole different ball game now.]
[My goodness, no wonder they wanted to make a military drama. It’s being supported by China Central TV.]
[This is giving me goosebumps. I’m starting to look forward to it more and more.]
…
Director Liu slapped his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile. “We’re done for! Isn’t this just plain nonsense?”
“Damn it. Drawing Sword immediately became the center of attention. We’re under great pressure now!”
“We should’ve just aired our military drama quietly. Why the hell do we have to go up against those celebrities?”
“If Drawing Sword gets terrible scores, China Central TV’s reputation will also be affected.”
“All we can do now is pray that Actor Y is reliable enough.”
…
The crew of Relentless Swordsman.
Everyone was stunned!
“what’s going on?”
“Actor Y wants to join in the fun?”
“Provocation! This is blatant, explicit provocation! Does he think our little fresh meat is a pushover?”
“Is he really going to interfere stubbornly in this clash?”
“He’s got some big, huge balls, this guy!”
…
Huang Xing’s recording studio.
“How dare that sh*tty show broadcast on the same day as we are?”
“Goodness. They’re trying to rub off on our heat?”
“They’ve planned this for a long time. They really are going to confront us!”
“Forget about it. Another player doesn’t make any difference. Since he’s asking for it, he can’t blame us for whipping him. Our main opponent is still Relentless Swordsman!”
It was a huge splash!
Ye Lingchen’s spontaneous Weibo post immediately pushed Drawing Sword to the forefront and even saved them the trouble of having to do publicity campaigns.
At the same time, more and more information about Drawing Sword began to be uncovered.
The filming cost was extremely low, while the filming time was only one and a half months. Except for Li Jing and Ali, the rest were all new faces, many of whom were not even celebrities!
Was Drawing Sword really not a comedy?
…
“Lingchen, won’t there…be any problems if you do this?” Xiao Feifei was shocked.
Ye Lingchen’s actions were undoubtedly bold. It was pure, unadulterated provocation. Rosy days were ahead of them if the series turned out good, but they would have to bear the brunt of endless ridicule if it ended up being a flop.
“It’s fine. Don’t you have any confidence in my TV series?” Ye Lingchen waved it off casually.
Hao Yun frowned. “You’re obviously trying to fight against two famous little fresh meats. If you lose, you’ll lose your whole dignity.”
“You’re right. We’re not only going to fight—we’re going to squash that little fresh meat to the ground!” Ye Lingchen said avowedly.
Qin Baichuan called him at exactly that moment.
“Little Friend Ye. You’re trying to stir up trouble aren’t you!”
“Hahaha, what’s wrong?”
“Why don’t you tell me? What did you do just now?”
“I told you before that it will be released at the same time to crush those little fresh meats’ limelight.”
“Motherf—! Are you insane?! Did I ask you to provoke them so blatantly? There’s no need to make such a fuss about it being released at the same time. Why in the world did you post that? You’re worried there’s not enough hype, aren’t you? Are you really trying to go head-to-head with them in ratings!”
“So be it if we go head-to-head. I have my reasons.”
“Fine! But remember that you’re representing China Central TV. Don’t make me lose my reputation too!”
Qin Baichuan felt like he was about to vomit blood!
He really hoped to use that drama to awaken everyone’s enthusiasm and suppress the rise of those little fresh meat, but he never imagined it would happen overnight. If they were adamant on stubbornly going up against those little fresh meats, then their chances of winning were slim.
He originally thought that it would be gradual and orderly. Should the show end up performing well, they could then publicize it and begin promoting it slowly.
No one expected Ye Lingchen’s stubbornness to reach a point that he would actually be raring to fight head-on against those little fresh meats. Was that not an invitation for disaster?
How confident was he that a military drama could compete with two popular television series starring the most popular little fresh meats? If all that fanfare ended up with ratings that were not even a fraction of the rest of the shows, it would not only be a huge slap to their faces, but would also spur the growth of more little fresh meats! How was Qin Baichuan going to explain that to everyone!
…
That night, Ye Lingchen gave Xiao Feifei a meticulous full-body massage. After having a good night’s rest, Xiao Feifei’s Qi improved considerably and she returned to Capital without making any rest stops.
At that point, the excitement surrounding Drawing Sword was at an all-time high. Xiao Feifei needed to accept interviews with major reporters on behalf of the crew. With everything already coming to a head, she had to bite the bullet and deal with it.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
The release was coming closer and closer.
All three dramas ran neck-and-neck with each other and were bombarded by media reporters in recent days.
[A fierce battle is close at hand!]
[All eyes on the premiere!]
[A renowned expert predicts the ratings!]
[Counting down to the premiere! Who will win the battle and come out victorious?]
[What are Drawing Sword’s motives for making an appearance?!]
[Is it a farce? Or do they truly have what it takes?]
[Can Actor Y create another miracle?]
[Ye Lingchen smiled as he browsed the news on the Internet. The results had exceeded his expectations.
He was boldly seizing the heat of the moment. Those little fresh meats were so popular that they caused many viewers to acquiesce the drop in quality of those television series. Ye Lingchen’s original intention was to battle against those little fresh meats, and since his purposes were very clear, Ye Lingchen was going to spare them any courtesy.
His actions could greatly increase the Drawing Sword’s popularity. As long as there was attention, Drawing Sword would definitely not be buried underneath everything, because…Ye Lingchen was confident that it would be a classic!
That approach was also very audacious, because Drawing Sword would receive severe backlash if it failed. Ye Lingchen would also end up becoming a laughingstock and be stepped on by the legion of little fresh meats, but such a situation was unlikely to happen.
Relentless Swordsman?
Best Time?
Ye Lingchen treated none of them as a worthy adversary.
Little fresh meats increased the cost of television dramas, and that would only bring the show’s quality down. Shows that rely only on those little fresh meats’ reputation were hardly ever exciting.
Moreover, how could the ice and fire, the bloody fights, and the heroically-epic scenes in Drawing Sword be compared to those little fresh meat?
