I Am A Prodigy Chapter 703 – Drawing Sword’s Premiere!

Friday.

It was the day when all three highly-anticipated television series would be aired.

Weibo suddenly became livelier than ever.

[It’s coming, it’s coming. The shows are coming!]

[Which TV series do you think will take the lead?]

[It has to be Relentless Swordsman. A TV series like this is very marketable.]

[I think it’ll be Best Time. Idols + love stories = an awesome watch.]

[Isn’t anyone optimistic about Drawing Sword? Where are Actor Y’s fans?]

[Military themes really are difficult to stomach.]

[It’s all just fighting and more fighting. All those godly plots are awful to watch.]

[I might watch Best Time. All the shows are being aired at the same time and I can only choose one.]

[Hahaha, I’ll watch Drawing Sword. I’m still looking forward to Actor Y’s work. If it really is sh*tty, I’ll change the channel.]

[I have the nagging feeling that Actor Y’s myth is going to be shattered. It’s probably going to be crushed.]

It was a very unusual day. Many people left work early and some even refused their social meetings. The reason was none other than to go home early and enjoy the coming television series.

With the advent of internet television, the market for television dramas had become increasingly low. The challenges would get bigger and bigger as well, and it was rare for television shows to create such a sensation.

Major players in the entertainment media outlets had been sending out push notifications, and with Actor Y roaring across the horizon with two popular little fresh meats, it was unsurprising that they grabbed the attention of the masses.

…

At 7pm that night.

There was a cool breeze on Miracle Island. Six barbecue racks were laid in the open space. The flames were roaring and they were grilling some delicious food. The aroma drifted into the forest and elicited roars of yearning from the forest. However, none of them dared to come over.

“Little Green, Little Gray, send these two legs of lamb to the forest,” Ye Lingchen said after cutting off two large legs of lamb.

Little Green and Little Gray smelled the leg of lamb, then reluctantly walked towards the forest together. Little White waddled along and followed them.

A tiger was staring from the shadows with two little ones beside it. Upon seeing Little White, those two tigers would then engage in play-fighting with Little White.

The tiger snarled a couple of words to Little White, bit the leg of the lamb, then turned and disappeared into the forest with the two young tigers.

Crackle—

The barbecued meat was shiny and fragrant as they were roasted over the flames. Everyone surrounded the bonfire and there were plenty of drinks in the open space.

After half a month, the crew of Drawing Sword gathered again. Xiao Feifei, Li Tai, Li Jing, Ali, and the rest of the crew came too. After all, that was their base camp for the future and it was best for them to come often and familiarize themselves with the place.

The premiere of the first episode was to be aired at 7:30pm. Ye Lingchen called everyone over and prepared to watch the premiere results together.

Ye Lingchen smiled and said, “It’s almost time. We’ll wait for the results while eating.”

Xiao Feifei rolled her charming eyes at Ye Lingchen.

Li Tai’s face soured.

Li Jing and Ali were also very worried.

Those people could hardly relax even with so much food before them.

“Yo, what’s the matter? Y’all look like you’re going to cry.” Ye Lingchen was happy.

Li Tai smiled bitterly. “Young Master Ye, you’re…really good at stirring up trouble.”

“Am I? Well, I think this is pretty low-key.”

Li Jing said, “Young Master Ye, you really scared the daylights out of us. It’s like we’re walking on thin ice right now.”

Ali chimed in too and remarked, “There are reporters standing in my way every day, mocking indirectly and directly. They’re waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves.”

“Okay, plenty of drinks for us to get drunk today. Everyone, hurry up and eat. The title of best show is still up for grabs. Don’t you have the slightest bit of confidence in yourselves now that I’ve already prepared all the celebration drinks?” Ye Lingchen asked with a smile.

“Sigh, we’re just afraid that we’ll embarrass ourselves too much and end up souring your reputation,” Li Tai said worriedly.

Everyone grumbled a couple of times too. After all, the pressure was too great recently and public opinion on the internet had also shaken their psyche and made them lose their appetite. However, everyone dropped that subject and began eating their food.

“Whoa, this is delicious!”

“You can never hope to eat this kind of game in the outside world.”

“Chairman Ye, will our headquarters really be situated here in the future? This is just paradise.”

“I really look forward to working here.”

There was an abundance of beautiful scenery on Miracle Island, which increased even more during the construction period. One would have a different mood when staying there and it was almost certain that it could extend one’s life. Furthermore, the island would continue to develop in the foreseeable future, and it would definitely end up being a landmark. Other people might even get jealous of those who work there.

Based on the plan, the part of the area where everyone was at would be dedicated to filming. Several cities will be built, including city walls, a small Great Wall, towers, and the like. The virgin forest would be within arm’s reach, and it would be turned into a huge filming set in the future.

The center of the island was about eight kilometers away and that where Miracle Island’s main building would be situated along with the headquarters of various major companies. The pharmaceutical company’s building framework was already in preparation and one could distinctly notice that it was in the shape of a lingzhi. It was estimated that the building would be complete soon, and the foundations of the other companies’ buildings were already being laid.

Everyone ate while waiting for the show to finally air.

Xiao Feifei suddenly said, “Lingchen, it’s about to start.”

The program crew got ready as well and switched on the television.

Everyone looked over.

Although they had all participated in those shots, it was an altogether different feeling to be appearing on screen. None of them knew what effect it would have and they could not help but feel slightly nervous.

“It’s seven-thirty!”

“It’s starting!”

…

Many viewers were equally nervous in front of the television.

“It’s time!”

“Ah, it’s finally starting!”

“Which one is better? Why must all of them air at the same time?”

On the screen.

China Central TV.

The opening music was playing.

Executive Producer: Actor Y, Xiao Feifei

Producer: Actor Y.

Film Producer: Actor Y.

Artistic Director: Actor Y.

Screenplay: Actor Y.

Video Editing: Actor Y.

Director: Actor Y, Li Tai.

Many people did not find the list to be too surprising, since the same thing had happened for both Huo Yuanjia and iApartment. It was not as though that was the first time everyone found out about Actor Y’s prowess.

Then, the show officially started.

First there was a paragraph of text, with narration that introduced the background of the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Then, the first scene was on the battlefield, where everyone was surrounded by the flames of war and the roaring of artillery. Tension was created with the help of a dialogue between two Sun Nation characters, after which the uniqueness of the 38th regiment was highlighted. A character then appeared—it was Li Yunlong!

…

Everyone held their breaths and nervously watched the results of their filming.

“I don’t care if you are an elite, because I fight the elites!”

“Find a way to destroy them!”

“Brothers, I’ve told you those little brats are skilled with their bayonets, but I don’t believe in their tricks though. They’re still human. Who’s scared of who right now? I’ll even slice off Yama’s beard if he was here. I’ve said it before—when enemies come face-to-face…it is the brave who will emerge victorious!”

“Attack, my brothers!”
