Chapter 704 - Success or Flop? (1/2)
Since it was only the premiere, there were no commercial breaks between episodes, which allowed for an immensely enjoyable watching experience.
They watched the scene of the charging clash on television.
They watched as a character held a grenade in their hand and died along with their enemies in the hailstorm of bullets.
They watched as both sides held huge sabers and fought each other violently.
It was a shocking scene!
Li Tai and the others in the production crew felt their blood surging and got goosebumps as a result.
Eating was the last thing on their minds. Ye Lingchen was the only one who held up a big greasy leg of lamb in his hands and gnawed it with relish.
Everyone stared at the screen in shock and confirmed the facts over and over to themselves.
Was the television series really that good?
Was that the end result for their month-and-a-half of hard work?
Ye Lingchen gave Qin Baichuan a call and it took a while before the line connected.
“Old Qin, Drawing Sword is airing right now. What do you think? Would you like to see the results?” Ye Lingchen smiled.
There were many warriors in the Warrior’s Department, but unfortunately, they were all stuck in Capital New District. If not for that, they would definitely have gathered to watch the premiere.
“Something happened recently. I’m afraid I won’t be able to watch it. Take it easy, Kid. I lent you so many warriors, so don’t blame me if I’m mad at you for not being able to crush those little fresh meats!” Qin Baichuan threatened.
“Don’t worry. I’ve got it all settled! The way of the warrior will be promoted!” Ye Lingchen laughed., then asked in a low voice. “What’s wrong over there?”
“Nothing too serious. Once I’m done with this, I’ll see how the ratings are!” Qin Baichuan answered.
After hanging up, Ye Lingchen frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Capital.
Old Qin had been looking forward to the show. What could possibly have happened that forced him to miss the premiere?
…
At the same time.
Relentless Swordsman was also being premiered.
The scene was magnificent, with a deluge of special effects and swords in full swing.
“You’re no match for me.”
“We’ll never know if we don’t try.”
“I’ll give you three moves. You’ll have my respect if you end up surviving!”
“Hahaha, then I shall teach you the meaning of a ruthless sword technique with my Cold Sword Slash!”
Zhang Tao was clad entirely in black and held a long saber. His dominance was clear, and his opponent—who was also one of those little fresh meats—carried a long sword.
Many viewers’ eyes lit up. The show lived up to its title of a poetic saga. It was flashy in all aspects, whether in their attractiveness index, special effects fights, or their lines. It was certainly a work of conscience.
Discussions began pouring in on the internet.
[Ahhhh, Taotao is so handsome!]
[This costume is the most beautiful and no one can tell me otherwise!]
[Relentless Swordsman wins this wave!]
[Such a grand opening! They must have invested over 100 million in that scene!]
[It’s so satisfying!]
[A scene as spectacular as this can’t possibly occur in Best Time.]
…
On the other end.
Best Time premiered.
The scene was equally as beautiful and extremely poetic.
Conflict arose immediately after the chance encounter between male and female lead, following which they became enemies. The plot gradually thickened with charm and romance.
The comments were also being spammed.
[Wow, this is so sweet!]
[Huang Xing is really handsome. Such a dominant president!]
[This is the best idol drama. The one and only!]
[So romantic. My heart is going to burst!]
