Seeing so many colleagues supporting him, Yu Xie became even more enthusiastic.
He directly addressed Xiao Qingfeng on Weibo.
"Hehe, since you look down on a 2.7% viewership rating so much, how about we make a bet?" @Xiao Qingfeng.
Then he quickly received a reply from Xiao Qingfeng: "What do you want to bet?"
Yu Xie: I'll bet you can get a 2.7% rating for your "Chinese Paladin". If you don't, you'll quit the TV drama industry from now on. How about that?
Xiao Qingfeng: Hehe, although I know you're just trying to provoke me, I'm still willing to take this bet with you. If I lose, I will never step into the TV drama industry again; conversely, if you lose, I don't need you to leave the TV drama industry, because you won't and dare not. So I only ask that you publicly bow three times to apologize.
It's unrealistic to ask someone like Yu Xie to leave the entertainment industry. Even if he agrees now, he'll definitely find various reasons to break the agreement later, since this isn't the first or second time this has happened.
Xiao Qingfeng didn't ask for much, just to slap Yu Xie in the face. If he could make Yu Xie bow his head even once, he wouldn't have the same confidence in front of him in the future, and it would also cause him irreparable psychological trauma.
The two exchanged barbs on Weibo, which immediately sparked heated discussions online.
Xiao Qingfeng's fans, in particular, were already incredibly excited. They felt that the current TV drama industry was a complete mess, treating the audience like fools.
What kind of nonsense is it that someone with a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan can rent a luxuriously decorated room in a big city like Shanghai, with a river view overlooking the Shanghai Pearl Tower? This is utterly ridiculous! They don't treat the audience like human beings at all.
And that movie "The Castle of the Magic City" was absolutely awful. It was as disgusting as Jing Chenxi's "Cancer," and it could cause both physical and psychological discomfort.
So for years, netizens have been hoping that someone would come out and regulate the TV drama industry, stop making trash, and save our eyes.
The internet instantly split into two camps, with both sides arguing fiercely.
"Xiao Qingfeng did a great job. The current chaotic TV drama industry should be cleaned up. Yu Xie, that plagiarist, still has the nerve to provoke us. Aren't the dramas he made just propped up by hype and popular stars? Xiao Qingfeng's 'Chinese Paladin' will definitely break this curse and let us see a truly high-quality TV drama."
"Yu Xie is just a clown. He thinks he's something special just because he has a few ratings. Xiao Qingfeng is talented and courageous. We believe he can bring a new atmosphere to the TV drama industry. Yu Xie is doomed to lose. Just wait and see him bow three times and apologize."
"The TV drama industry really needs someone like Xiao Qingfeng to clean it up. Those trashy dramas are simply a waste of our time and emotions. Xiao Qingfeng, keep it up, we support you!"
The camp supporting Yu Xie was not to be outdone:
"What does Xiao Qingfeng, a singer, know about TV dramas? He's too arrogant. Yu Xie's dramas have such high ratings. It's questionable whether Xiao Qingfeng's 'Chinese Paladin' can even be broadcast. He wants to break the 2.7% rating. It's just wishful thinking."
"Yu Xie is a big shot in the TV drama industry. Xiao Qingfeng, a newcomer, dares to challenge him. He is really overestimating himself. Just wait and see Xiao Qingfeng slink out of the TV drama industry."
"Xiao Qingfeng is just trying to ride on Yu Xie's popularity; he doesn't have the talent at all. Although Yu Xie's dramas are controversial, at least they can attract viewers. Xiao Qingfeng's dramas might not even get any viewers."
......
The two sides went back and forth, arguing endlessly, and the online war of words intensified, with everyone eagerly awaiting the outcome of this bet.
On the other hand, Yu Xie knew that he had started the conversation, and now that Xiao Qingfeng had accepted the challenge, he naturally couldn't back down, so he directly agreed to Xiao Qingfeng's request.
Thus, the two reached a verbal agreement on their bet online.
Although no formal agreement was signed, that doesn't matter, because netizens across the internet are all witnesses, and no party can deny it.
This matter has become a hot topic in both the television drama and music industries, because Xiao Qingfeng is, strictly speaking, a singer and belongs to the music industry.
But now that Xiao Qingfeng has crossed over into the television drama industry, it's inevitable that people will connect the two circles.
At this moment, some singers who had suffered under Xiao Qingfeng's torment became excited. Some hoped that Xiao Qingfeng would suffer a big setback this time, after all, Xiao Qingfeng and others had suffered a lot because of him.
However, some people hope that Xiao Qingfeng can properly regulate the people in the television industry and that his TV series will be a huge hit.
Of course, the reason is not because they like Xiao Qingfeng so much, or because they have a good relationship with Xiao Qingfeng, but because of their long-standing grudges against the TV drama and music industries.
For many years, there has been a kind of disdain within the entertainment industry: those in the film industry look down on those in the television industry, and those in the television industry look down on those in the music industry. Singers have always been at the bottom of the entertainment industry.
However, things have improved in recent years because with the development of the internet, a new group has joined the entertainment industry: the online celebrity circle.
So nowadays, there are groups that the music industry looks down on, namely the online celebrity circle.
However, the music industry has harbored considerable resentment towards the television drama industry for many years. If Xiao Qingfeng's "Chinese Paladin" becomes a huge hit, the entire music industry will finally be able to hold its head high.
If Xiao Qingfeng's "Chinese Paladin" really becomes a huge hit and successfully breaks through the 2.7% viewership rating, it will surely cause a huge uproar on the Internet.
At that time, the entire music industry will feel proud, and one can even imagine that the internet will be filled with the phrase "Singer Xiao Qingfeng will sweep through the TV drama industry." Just thinking about it is exhilarating.
Amidst the heated discussions online, "Chinese Paladin" finally premiered.
The opening theme song "Sha Po Lang" has been popular online for several months, and when the familiar melody plays again, netizens are instantly excited.
It's like watching the opening trailers for months, and finally getting to the main plot today—you can imagine how excited you are.
...
We are born to prove something.
Traces of Love's Existence
A greater life emerges after the fire has burned.
[Killing is for the sake of praising]
The magnificence before destruction
The night is the wolf's deep eyes.
Waiting for dawn in solitude
【Hey yeah woo yeah~~】
......
Although many people have heard this song countless times, they still choose to skip the opening credits at this moment.
At this time, Yu Xie and some screenwriters in the TV drama circle were also paying attention to the premiere of the TV series. They were not waiting for exciting content, but waiting for Xiao Qingfeng's TV series to flop, so that they could find fault with the TV series and then start criticizing it.
Then, just at the beginning, almost everyone was stunned, feeling amazed.
Whether it's the cinematography, the environmental depiction, or the costumes and props, everything is a sight to behold.
Especially at the very beginning of the TV series, when Li Xiaoyao is on the mountaintop, holding a small sword less than a foot long and giving a wicked smile, it is enough to make countless young men and women scream.
Following closely behind Li Xiaoyao, he threw the small sword in his hand, which instantly transformed into a large sword. Li Xiaoyao then leaped into the air and flew on the sword.
In an instant, the internet exploded with excitement!
