Chapter 389 New Year“s Day Battle!
Ye Lingchen’s words made Xiao Feifei feel sweet in her heart, but she still felt slightly worried. “Lingchen, Durian TV is so powerful that it’s hard to avoid being targeted if we offend them.”
“Haha, there will be a time when they’ll come begging?” Ye Lingchen smiled indifferently.
“But Young Master Ye, if we’re rushing to release it on New Year’s Day, which TV stations should we cooperate with?” Li Tai asked with hints of dejection.
“Leave this to me. I know a director named Zhang Yong. He’ll likely honor my request.” Ye Lingchen said plainly.
Zhang Yong was the director when Ye Lingchen participated in Survival on Deserted Island previously. The show was broadcast on TV with a mixture of live streaming and recording. Ye Lingchen wanted to broadcast iPartment on that particular TV station.
“Zhang Yong? Is it the Zhang Yong from Banana TV?” Li Tai could not help but be surprised. “It’s not a bad choice for our show to be broadcast on this station.”
“Lingchen, do you know him?” Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise.
Speaking of which, Banana TV was also extremely lucky, as it was not well-known at first and could only be considered one of the more general television stations. However, a variety show was held not long ago, and Singer Y was invited to participate.
That was nothing actually, but Singer Y’s appearance on the show was very attractive. The crux of it was that they actually encountered a shark in the end, which was then hypnotized by Singer Y’s tune.
It was almost like reading a fantasy novel, sparking plenty of heated discussions on the Internet. The only word that could be used to describe it was ‘miracle’.
Aside from those ordinary people, even within Li Tai’s circle of directors and Xiao Feifei’s acting circle also exploded. At the same time, there was also envy in them.
Because of that, Banana TV soared and entered the public eye. Although it cannot be compared with Durian TV, it was still a well-known station that had the faintest tendency to threaten Durian TV’s status.
Almost immediately, Ye Lingchen used the identity of Singer Y to send Zhang Yong a message. It did not take long for a reply to be received.
Last time around, Ye Lingchen saved the entire ship and by extension, Zhang Yong’s life as well, so the director did not hesitate when agreeing. Firstly, he had confidence in the TV series recommended by Singer Y, and secondly, it was a gesture of gratitude.
“It’s done!” Ye Lingchen made an OK gesture to the nervous crowd.
“Ah, Young Master Ye, you’re so amazing. You’ve convinced Banana TV in one sentence. I love you so much!” Chen Meijia screamed in excitement.
Hu Yifei and the others also breathed a drawn-out sigh of relief. They looked at Ye Lingchen gratefully.
In was their very first TV series and they were the main cast too. Durian TV’s rejection made them disheartened, and if it failed to be broadcasted, they would probably be in tears.
At that moment, in the headquarters of Durian TV.
A middle-aged man slapped the table sharply and his face was displeased.
“Damn, who does he think he is? How dare he talk to the boss like this?!”
“Chairman He, Xiao Feifei is the queen of TV series, and Li Tai’s current momentum is also rising rapidly. Inevitably they probably grew arrogant and no longer know their place. Inferior people become conceited after getting into a position of power!” a bespectacled man in a suit remarked disdainfully.
“Hehe, she’s just an actor. She thinks she so great after setting up a film and television company?” Chairman He sneered. “I showed plenty of respect when I allowed their TV series to be shown in our Durian TV, but they don’t even know how to appreciate that. Shameless!”
“Chairman He, this script was written by Actor Y. I think we should pay attention to this particular point,” someone couldn’t help but say.
“Hehe, Actor Y is a farce! It’s just a myth. He currently has only one screenplay in Huo Yuanjia! I’ve seen the list of names for iPartment, and the actors invited are greenhorns who just graduated from art institutes. It’s also a story about one apartment. What are we supposed to watch?” The man in the suit sneered coldly. “In my opinion, Xiao Feifei did this to save shooting costs, so it’s assumed that it won’t be a good TV series.”
“You’re right!” Chairman He seemed to have considered everything. “She wants to make money for herself using our Durian TV’s reputation. She’s dreaming like an idiot! In comparison, the lineup of For My Love is unprecedented, and it could probably bring our Durian TV’s popularity to greater heights!”
“Wise opinion, boss!” the man in the suit laughed and flattered. “I’ll start preparing for the promotion of For My Love right away.”
The next day!
Without warning, a piece of news quietly crept up Weibo’s trending searches.
[For My Love is waiting for you to love on New Year’s Day!]
Below the news, was the entire cast of that series. All of them are now well-known little fresh meat and beautiful young girls.
[Wow, For My Love is finally going to be released, looking forward to it!]
[Hahaha, is this set? My little milk dog[1] Xuxu is so handsome!]
[My Kunkun is the most handsome! I’m going to keep up with this TV series for sure!]
[A combination of handsome guys and beautiful girls, this TV series lineup is really amazing!]
[Last time there was some viral news that Xiao Feifei’s iPartment will be screened on New Year’s Day?]
[I also heard that Actor Y is the screenwriter for iPartment. I was even looking forward to it at that time.]
...
The effect of online celebrities was obvious and the trending search remained very high. In addition, those stars also utilized the news as a pretext to post their microblogs and interact with netizens. Occasionally, they would chat about their opinions and highlights of the TV series, setting up some suspense, allowing their fans to shriek repeatedly in excitement.
At that moment, Banana TV also quietly sent a meager message. [iApartment will be with you on New Year’s Day!]
Below, a set of stills were also attached.
Movie Y and Xiao Feifei also posted on Weibo at the same time to promote iPartment.
[iPartment is also going to be released on New Year’s Day! Ah, ah, ah, so amazing!]
[Really looking forward to Actor Y being a screenwriter. I hope it’s as awesome to watch as Huo Yuanjia.]
[Tch, what kind of actors did they invite? I haven’t heard of any of them. How poor can the crew be!]
[Posting on Weibo one after another. Are they battling with For My Love?]
[Judging from the perspective of the cast, For My Love is way way way ahead of iPartment.]
[After all, Xiao Feifei just only set up her film and television company. I feel like there were many places that were not done properly. It’s better not to put too much hope in this TV series.]
[Xiao Feifei is a queen. Why didn’t she take part in it? If she were there, maybe they could compete with For My Love.]
...
As the topic gradually livened up, netizens began to express their position. It was obvious that the supporters of For My Love were far greater than those of iPartment, and even a lot of those fresh meats’ diehard fans began to criticize iPartment. They believed that it was not qualified to compare with For My Love, and some people boldly predicted that the myth of Actor Y would finally be broken...
[1] 小奶狗 is translated literally as ‘little milk dog’ and has its origins in 小鲜肉 (= translated literally as ‘little fresh meat’, used to refer to male teen idols). The difference between ‘little milk dogs’ and ‘little fresh meat’ is that the former implies someone who has all the qualities of little fresh meat but with the addition of subservience and submissiveness.
