I Am A Prodigy Chapter 706

Online.

Everyone was dumbstruck when they saw the ratings!

First: Drawing Sword, with an audience rating of 1.66%!

Second: Relentless Swordsman, with an audience rating of 1.46%!

Third: Best Time, with an audience rating of 1.44%!

At that moment, everyone's pupils were staring very intently. Their mouths were agape and their jaw nearly dropped to ground in shock. The feeling of horror emerged out of nowhere and a spine-chilling fright even surfaced from the bottom of their hearts.

Too shocking!

Too terrifying!

Too unbelievable!

China Central TV.

“What did you say?! What are the ratings?” Director Liu's face was flushed with excitement and he could not believe what he heard.

“F*CK! This, this…”

“My God! First? We got f-f-f-first?”

“Is this for real? Is this our TV ratings?”

“Military drama! This is a military drama! Why are there so many people watching it?”

“It makes no sense!”

“This goes against all logic. This is practically going against all logic!”

“Actor Y is so awesome that he's practically God.”

“Old Qin made good on his word after all! This is a big surprise for me, hahaha, this is going to one of China Central TV's classic masterpieces!” Director Liu was very excited. It was rare that there would be such a powerful and highly ideological television series. It was a natural-born propaganda theme!

Zhang Tao's recording studio.

Everyone was frightened, angry, and stared so hard that their eyes nearly popped out.

“F*cking c*nt!”

“Something must've gone wrong! This has to be a statistical error!”

“This data makes absolutely no sense! Damn it, I don't believe it at all!”

“They didn't make an impression and weren't even popular. Where did their high viewership come from!”

“Is Actor Y really that awesome? This is insane!”

Huang Xing's recording studio.

“F*cking hell! We're third?!”

“I'm going to go blind soon. How the hell are they first place?”

“Damn, does Actor Y have to be that awesome? This is just too cruel!”

All major media outlets were equally shocked to the core.

“F*ck man, we could have predicted the outcome in so many other ways, but this result is really unexpected.”

“Damn, I drafted a press release for both Relentless Swordsman and Best Time just so I can upload it as soon as possible. Surprisingly it was Drawing Sword that achieved first place?!”

“Too ruthless. This it too motherf*cking ruthless.”

“We can't provoke him. They're not to be provoked.”

“Our judgment was way off again. Actor Y creates miracles every single time, but we never learn our lesson. F*CK!”

“He really did give everyone a resounding slap this time!”

“Face-Slapper Y!”

The results shot up to Weibo's trending searches barely three minutes after the results were announced.

[Motherf*cker!]

[Actor Y is still the same Actor Y. He never disappoints.]

[Little fresh meats have been abused again. Hahaha, I love it.]

[First, they were crushed by Singer Y. Then by Actor Y. Let's mourn for Huang Xing and Zhang Tao. They're being targeted.]

[I'm starting to doubt my life. What is going on?]

[This is scary. These are popular little fresh meats we're talking about. Two of them too. And they still couldn't go against a military-themed series?]

[Is Drawing Sword really that good to watch? Who's actually watching it?]

[Upstairs, I bear full responsibility when I tell you that Drawing Sword is amazing! The reason why there isn't much discussion online is because the people who watch it are all slightly older. Secondly, Drawing Sword doesn't employ any cybertroopers to hype things up!]

[I strongly recommend everyone to watch Drawing Sword. It is suitable for all ages and will never be a disappointment.]

[To be honest, it was my parents who dragged me along to watch, but then… it really is amazing!]

Miracle Island.

The crew of Drawing Sword exchanged looks at each other and finally recovered from the shock. They could feel their blood surging to the top of their head.

Xiao Feifei covered her mouth, while Hao Yun stared wide-eyed at Ye Lingchen before looking at the ratings again. Dong Miaomiao was also stunned and she remained rooted to the ground in disbelief.

“F*CK! Young Master Ye, you're the best!”

“Number one! We're number one!”

“I can't believe my eyes. This is like a dream.”

“We're going to be famous. Our dream is just getting started.”

“This is Young Master Ye for you. He's never disappointed anyone.”

“Hahaha, those who looked down on us before are probably dumbfounded now!”

Ye Lingchen smiled very low-key. “The results are meh. The ratings are lower than I expected.”

Everyone: “???”

Amongst some directors.

There was a moment of silence when the ratings chart was uploaded.

No one spoke.

Then—

“This is unbelievable.”

“This is a crazy counterattack. A dark horse among the dark horses.”

“Actor Y has a well-deserved reputation!”

“This is shocking. Quick, find out what's so good about Drawing Sword.”

The major channels were stunned!

The entertainment media was stunned!

The entire entertainment circle was stunned!

The audience was stunned!

The ratings of Drawing Sword were 1.66. At any time at all, it could be considered an amazingly great achievement.

It was common knowledge that iPartment's premiere reached 2.03 and broke past 2!

Was Drawing Sword inferior to iPartment? Of course not!

One had to be cognizant of the fact that iPartment did not have that big a competitor during their runtime. For Drawing Sword, it was a tripartite confrontation of major television series, which further divided the audience! The fact that they could score 1.66 against all odds was a monumental feat! Any director who could achieve 1.66 in their series premiere should be proud!

Moreover, it was only the first episode. Judging from the situation, Drawing Sword had huge potential. It had become the biggest dark horse of the year after crushing those little fresh meats, and it was hard to imagine what its peak ratings would be like.

Formidable!

Unexplainable!

That day.

News began pouring in.

[Epic reversal!]

[A shock to the eyes!]

[Drawing's Sword achieved first place in one fell swoop with its counterattack!]

[Little fresh meats destroyed again!]

[Stellar reputation and even higher ratings!]

[An unimaginable super dark horse!]

[The peak of military dramas! A fresh take that pushes all limits!]

[Shocking! A military drama classic has appeared!]

Ye Lingchen's phone was bombarded with calls and many people came to congratulate him.

Chen Xiaoyan was the first to call.

“Lingchen, you're just amazing. Congratulations.”

“Thanks.”

“Umm… You're staying in the number one Hillspring Residence, right? I specifically remembered the address when I sent you the masked singer's props, but I went there and saw that you weren't home.”

“Um… Actually, I'm staying on an island.”

“On an island?”

“Mm, I'll bring you over to have some fun next time.”

“Mmmm, okay, anytime!”

Later, Director Liu from China Central TV's general administration called him too.

“Hahaha, I was still pretty worried when Old Qin recommended you to me last time. You've given me such a big surprise. You really are a young hero!”

“You flatter me, Director Liu.”

“No need to be so modest. You're really good. You've given China Central TV a lot of glory this time and you've also done our country a service. Thank you for the trouble.”

“It's no trouble. I promised Chief Qin, so it's only right that I act good on my promise.”

Next, Zhao Liangying and the other acquaintances from iPartment phoned him to offer their congratulations too.

In the evening, Drawing Sword, Relentless Swordsman, and Best Time were broadcast again at the same time, with all three shows facing a second confrontation!
