Chapter 708: Expansion of Hell’s Gate

As for Li Jing, Ali, and some other actors in Drawing Sword, they have also received invitations from major filming crews hoping for them to take part in their programs. The pay was not low either.

Li Jing had already received six invitations for military themed series, and the highest asking price was a whopping three million per episode! The goal was to latch onto Drawing Sword’s hype.

Li Tai laughed as he replied, “We’ve struck a big one this time!”

“We’re making it big because of Young Master Ye.”

“Hahaha, I knew it. Following Young Master Ye was the right choice!”

“I feel like I just turned into a big shot. Hahaha…”

Ye Lingchen shrugged. “This is nothing. Just wait and see.”

Xiao Feifei stared at Ye Lingchen. “Lingchen, are you saying…we can still go higher?”

Dong Miaomiao stated, “There should be some hope for us to exceed 3%, but I’m not too sure. After all, it’s quite difficult. Your iPartment the last time was only around 4% at its peak.”

Ye Lingchen shook his head. “The ratings right now have yet to reach the ratings I have expected. It should do better than iPartment.”

iPartment was most suited for youngsters. The crowd it appealed to was nowhere near the same as Drawing Sword. Although Drawing Sword was a military themed show, it was able to cover the full range of audience!

Hao Yun said, “Damn, you’re trying to surpass iPartment? I think iPartment is more interesting.”

Ye Lingchen laughed. “You can’t compare it like that.”

Dong Miaomiao said, “It’d be great if it can go over 4%.”

Ye Lingchen stayed silent and smiled.

3%?

4%?

Later on, Drawing Sword’s plot would only get more interesting. The characters’ personality, the people’s integrity, their passion for combat, and those warriors that sacrificed themselves. The enmity with the enemy nation would only grow stronger. When that time comes, the viewers would not be able to stop watching.

That…was Ye Lingchen’s confidence!

All that was just the beginning. The ratings would surely become something terrifying.

Within the entertainment industry, Drawing Sword had undoubtedly become a hot topic.

“This is really a surprise. It’s way beyond my expectations!”

“Both Zhang Tao and Huang Xing actually flopped despite their amazing popularity!”

“That’s right. Drawing Sword is really ruthless. I think that saying online is spot on. Singer Y and Actor Y screwed the little fresh meats over front and back. They are really the bane of all little fresh meats!”

“This is truly amazing. If Actor Y can let me take part in his TV series, I’ll definitely rise to stardom immediately. I’ll sell my soul for such a chance!”

“Save your breath. Do you know how many young female celebrities are eyeing for that chance? If they knew who Actor Y was, they would even queue up to give themselves over to him.”

“Sigh, I’m so envious of Chen Xiaoyan. She’s really lucky to be favored by Singer Y. If Singer Y would write a song for me, I’d be willing to do anything!”

“For someone like this, it’s easy to be a hit. That’s the proof of his strength!”

“Yeah. He’s too monstrous.”

Within an unspecified film company:

“You’ve all watched Drawing Sword. Analyze it for me. What’s the secret to its success?”

“I think it’s the script and acting skills.”

“The action scenes are very interesting and do not rely on special effects. Those are real fight scenes. Where did they get that many experts?”

“There aren’t any big named celebrities, but I must say that the production quality is excellent.”

“Over these years, the little fresh meats had too much influence over the entertainment industry and caused many things to go crooked. Actor Y is reminding everyone that little fresh meats won’t go far by relying on their looks alone. Quality script, filming, and acting skills are just important to reign supreme.”

“That’s indeed the case. Relentless Swordsman and Best Time’s ratings dropped that quickly because they depended on the fans for the initial hype. Without determined viewers to continue watching, it would eventually drop in ratings.”

On Weibo:

The netizens have once again started with their predictions of the ratings.

[Ahhh, I’m so excited. I can watch Drawing Sword again tonight!]

[I just rewatched the first four episodes of Drawing Sword. Damn, it’s good!]

[That’s how a real man should be. I want to learn martial arts!]

[Today’s ratings will be a bomb again.]

[Can they go over 3%?]

[That shouldn’t be a problem.]

[Actor Y is just amazing. He’s never let us down.]

[He’s beating up a little fresh meat again. I wonder just how far can Drawing Sword go.]

Following that, the TV series continued its broadcast.

One day, two days, three days…

The ratings were announced day after day.

Each time, it would bring surprise to those watching!

Various predictions were made, but Drawing Sword managed to surprise them time and time again, challenging the viewer’s hearts.

Each day, the viewers would be given a shock of their life by the ratings of Drawing Sword!

Day three: 3.01%

Day four: 3.36%

Day seven: 3.82%

Day ten: 4.56%

Day thirteen: 5.98%

Drawing Sword had a total of 32 episodes. Six more episodes had yet to be aired, but the ratings had already almost reached 6%, able to break through it anytime!

That was unbelievable!

Just looking at that sent a shiver down their spines and caused them to doubt their existence!

The media, little fresh meats, and other viewers all went crazy!

With the internet, the ratings for TV series had been in decline over the years. 2% was already considered a big hit. If one could achieve 3%, that would be considered a masterpiece, an absolute hit!

However, this time, it was almost reaching 6%!

That was just extremely monstrous!

A lot of celebrities were cursing internally. Actor Y was such a monster. His series actually managed to increase the ratings through sheer brute force. How would they survive?

Meanwhile, at Capital New District.

“Director, are we really at this stage?” Qin Baichuan had a solemn expression on him.

“From the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the Hell’s Gate, it’s about to expand sometime soon,” Chen Qi said with a sigh.

“The last expansion was three years ago. It’s getting more and more frequent. I think the Void Realm over here will be fully opened soon,” Lin Tianxiong said uneasily.

“The battle three years ago…” Chen Qi’s eyes showed a shred of heavy loss. “We’re lost one Innate Stage and three Acquired Stage experts. Meanwhile, the death toll of ordinary warriors was above two thousand!”

Qin Baichuan kept quiet for a moment. “Director, how many masters rushed out of the Void Realm the last time Hell’s Gate expanded?”

“There were two Class A and seven Class B creatures that led the charge.” Chen Qi’s voice carried a hint of bitterness. “If it expands again, the masters coming out of it would only be stronger.”

Qin Baichuan and the others exchanged looks, then took a deep breath. “Director Chen, please let us join the fray!”

Chen Qi was slightly stunned. He shook his head and replied, “You should do your own duties. It’s not your place to get yourselves involved.”

“Director, although the five of us are not at the Innate Stage, our Inner Force is at its peak. At a time like this, how can we not take part?” Qin Baichuan said as he looked him deeply in the eye.

Lin Tianxiong interjected, “Director, previously I’ve been living like a coward because of my injuries. Now that I’ve recovered, I can take this chance to kill my heart’s fill and avenge our countless brothers lost in battle!”

“We’re old. If we don’t join the war now, do you expect us to take part when we can’t even move anymore?” asked the chief instructor of Blue Wolf. “Director, please let us go!”

“Please let us join the war. It would be a waste and a shame for someone like us with the strength not to join the war! We’ve already lost too many brothers to this!”

“There are many young warriors. Our deaths won’t matter. Moreover, I don’t want to die of old age. I want to go out with a bang!”
