492 Looked Down On (1/2)
With everyone focusing on him, Ye Lingchen felt helpless. He contemplated for a moment before stating, ”I think it'll definitely be higher than For My Love's ratings.”
Ye Lingchen was not a vindictive person. Although iPartment was knocked off the listing by For My Love, Ye Lingchen did not hate it. The only reason he remembered the name was because that name was easy to remember. Ugh...that was the truth.
”I think so too!” Li Tai quickly nodded in agreement. ”Durian TV ditched us for For My Love. This time, they will surely regret it!”
”That's right. We must beat those other TV series of the same season and reign supreme over the New Year's Series!”
”Dominate the New Year's Series!”
…
If iPartment was looked down upon by others previously, then at that moment, everyone's attitude had a 180 degree change. They did not think that iPartment would be a niche TV series. Once a slice-of-life comedy series manages to develop its own uniqueness, it will definitely appeal to all ages and be well received!
Moreover, with Ye Lingchen's participation in the later stages, their standards rose significantly in all aspects. Everyone's confidence in iPartment had also risen along with it. This TV series was incredibly enjoyable. That was why they wanted Ye Lingchen to make a guess.
Ye Lingchen was fully confident about his show. However, he truly had no idea of the standards used for TV ratings therefore could not just randomly state a number. Nevertheless, he was sure it would outperform the others in the same season.
The group headed toward Grand Capital Restaurant together while happily chattering away. The celebratory feast was scrumptious. Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei were giving the customary 'thanks to everyone'. They went all the way until 11pm before finishing up.
In the next three days, Xiao Feifei was busy promoting iPartment on posters, Weibo trends, and so on. Chen Chichi and the others were also making appearances by taking part in some official events, showing themselves to the public to get some support.
Ye Lingchen did not actively take part in these activities and merely made a call for support on Weibo using Actor Y's name. Although promotional efforts were important, it still came back to the final product's quality.
During filming, Ye Lingchen was the one who did the most work. He was actively involved in the work of various departments, and would occasionally guide them personally. The crew members could take shifts to rest, but there was only one Ye Lingchen!
He was the one who slept the least.
Despite that, he was still filled with energy. With the help of Qi Refinement and his strong body, he would be fine even if he went on for days without sleep.
He laid in his bed with nothing to do. With that, he started accounting for his recent gains.
During the filming period, the luxury bag was sent to various countries, and the payment he received for them was accurate. 800 bags had a total worth of 32 million. 400 sets was another 32 million. With the 50/50 split, he earned a total of 32 million.
Added to Ye Lingchen's current cash on hand, he was someone with RMB 1.1 billion.
That was an astronomical figure. One should understand that those were not assets. They were purely cash that was just sitting in his account!
Even if it was just 100 million, the annual interest from the bank itself would be 5 million. Without doing anything, he could just eat and play every day and still fail to use them up!
Ye Lingchen counted the zeroes a few times, making him feel that his life was somewhat...complete?
'Too bad, this genius is not such a superficial person. This is just some meager money. Don't even think of tainting my pure heart.'
As for his popularity points, ever since the last lucky draw, he still had 2.3 million remaining. However, ever since the gaming incident during the anime convention and the birth of the luxury item, his popularity points went back up to 2.4 million.
After some thoughts, Ye Lingchen managed to hold himself back from attempting the lucky draw.
He should quickly get to 1 billion popularity points and get a skill to an advanced level. Only then would he have better means to protect himself.
