I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 494 Can He Ascend to Heaven?

Meanwhile, a lot of viewers were already waiting in front of the TV.

Many of them were fans of Actor Y and Xiao Feifei, and were curious about the TV series. Another smaller group of people were not there to watch the show, but rather find its flaws for criticism.

Apart from them, most other TV stations focused their attention there as well!

New Year’s prime time slot. Everyone had their eyes peeled and were all prepared to compare.

Although iPartment was met with skepticism, in a way, it also brought it a lot of attention. Quite a number of people wanted to see how bad it could get.

“It’s starting!”

“Ah, I’m so frustrated. They’re all starting at the same time. I want to watch them all!”

“Wah, For My Love’s male lead is so handsome. This pose is perfect.”

“I’m going to take a look at iPartment. Once I’ve declared its death sentence I’ll come back to watch the other shows in peace.”

“I won’t be watching iPartment. It’s going to flop for sure!”

...

That night, none of iPartment’s crew went to bed. They were gathered together as usual, watching it as a group.

“Fhhh, it’s about to start.” Chen Chichi breathed deeply. “I don’t think I’ve felt this nervous even during my art school exams.”

“Nonsense! Can that be compared to this? This is our life’s achievement,” Chen Meijia retorted.

Although they would normally joke around and would even appear unconcerned before the show started, when the time came, they hardly talked.

“Don’t worry guys, the results won’t be bad,” Ye Lingchen calmly assured them with a smile.

“Young Master Ye is right. I’ve already asked all the people in my village to watch it together,” said one of the crew.

“Me too. Even my wife helped me ask her side of the family to watch together!”

“Unlike me, you have a good wife. I’m planning to wait for the result to be announced, then use that to find myself a wife.”

“Kiddo, your mindset is very dangerous. You’re looking for a wife at such a young age? Don’t you know that marriage is the tomb for your love life?”

“That’s right. Listen to me. When it comes to getting a wife, you must consider carefully!”

“What’s wrong with you people? If he doesn’t get married, are you expecting him to flirt around all day long?” Some female crew members started joining the conversation.

The topic began to steer off the rails, going out of Ye Lingchen’s control.

At Banana TV station...

TV Series Department.

The offices had their TV running. The employees were not resting. With the New Year’s program firing off, they could not afford to rest as they needed to be on lookout.

Turning on the Banana TV channel, everyone glued their eyes to the TV screen and started watching iPartment.

“The main show is starting.”

“The intro credits are finally over!”

“Sigh, what’s wrong with our station. Why would we pick up a series like iPartment? Our ratings were only just improving, yet this is going to give us a bad reputation again.”

“That’s right. However, I’ve heard that it’s Director Zhang’s suggestion. It’s a request from Singer Y. Director Zhang’s Survival on Deserted Island was a hit because of Singer Y, therefore he had to honor this request.”

“Sigh, this favor is fully returned. I hope the ratings won’t be too horrible. Our TV station is already bad enough on its own.”

The few of them shared their thoughts.

While they were discussing, the intro music ended!

The TV series finally entered the first phase. It was a standard city scene without any outstanding features. It was unlike the ancient setting with their grandeur, nor the violent opening of a war-film, much less the awe-inspiring CGI scenes. It was a very mundane opening.

It was obviously going the route of a city lifestyle.

A regular looking young man was holding onto a big pile of luggage as he hurriedly made his way onto the bus.

In front of the young man was a young lady with an excellent figure. She raised her buttocks slightly, nicely aligning with the card reader, and with a beep, the card was read, letting her on board.

Zhan Bo was staring wide-eyed behind her, as though he had just gone through an eye-opening experience. He scratched his head and followed suit, raising his buttocks to align with the card reader, getting ready to move on.

The driver was wearing a pair of sunglasses. He gave Zhan Bo a weird stare. “Hey hey hey! Get back here!”

Zhan Bo turned around innocently, then continued to twist his buttocks. Seeing that it was not working, he even changed a direction and continued swiping with a different spot.

The driver gave him a mafia-like stare and huffed impatiently, “You can pay with coins, swipe your card, or scram! What’s with all that twisting?”

...

“Pfft!”

In Banana TV’s office, a burst of laughter flooded the room. They were all floored by the opening.

Be it Zhan Bo or the bus driver, or the pretty lady that swiped the card in the beginning. Their entry immediately left a strong impression for the viewers with their charms.

One of the girls said in a daze, “This...”

A young man staring at the screen piped up, “I think...this TV series will be a hit!”

Everyone stopped talking, inundating the room with silence!

“This plot is amazing. It’s so eye-catching right from the start, and the humor is very relatable. How did they come up with this?”

“Let’s hope it doesn’t just start strong and go downhill. Please let the rest of the plot be as exciting. I’m looking forward to it.”

“From the looks of it, Xiao Feifei and her team really put in quite an effort.”

They had worked in the TV station for many years and have naturally developed quite a keen eye. With such a strong beginning, they could predict the general direction of this TV series. The plot and characters were good. Very good!

If it manages to maintain this style, the TV series will surely be a hit!

From their professional perspective, even if the opening of this TV series could not get full marks, it would at least have 95!

Their original attitude of looking down on this TV series was shaken.

In their mind, they started asking themselves if they could produce such an opening if it were up to them.

The answer was without a doubt, impossible!

Even the top-class crew would find it difficult to produce such an effect and plot, much less them.

...

At a long-distance bus stop, the tourists were looking at the big screen. Regardless of gender and age group, they all burst into laughter at the same time.

“Oh my, this guy is too funny. He can’t seriously be thinking that his buttocks can be swiped, right?”

“Hahaha, that woman had obviously placed her card in her back pocket. What’s that guy thinking?”

“This feels just like my first trip into Capital City. For this opening, I’ve decided to follow this series.”

“Eh? What TV series is this? Why haven’t I seen it before? It seems quite enjoyable.”

...

Inside a restaurant, a group of university students was enjoying their dinner in a private chamber.

Apart from the adults having their holidays, the students were also freed from the shackles of their campus. The university students especially were celebrating with joy, planning for their great night.

“Oh, tune in to the TV quickly. This time slot has quite a few nice programs.”

“I want to watch iPartment first. After all, it’s Actor Y’s production,” someone suggested.

Students paid more attention to Y compared to others. In their mind, Y was already a huge intellectual property.

“Mm, I want to watch too. Any of the Ys can be my idol. Although those online have given so many disparaging remarks, I think Y won’t let us down.”

“Yeah, I’m really curious.”

“Bah! I think you guys better not have too much hope. This type of TV series would mostly just be a bunch of people talking to each other. What appeal could it have?” said one of the boys in glasses.

“That’s right. This type of TV series is very low cost and mostly just has a few scenes back and forth. It could get quite awkward.”

“That might not necessarily be the case. We all know what kind of existence Y is. This is the symbol of a miracle. His TV series will surely create another miracle and start a new generation.”

“You’re overthinking things. Who said that Y must be amazing? Can he ascend to heaven?”
