The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 605: The Real Super Hits
Xu Ye’s words made netizens even more upset.

But there are others who feel even worse than the netizens.

The plot of "War on the Prairie" tonight is also a high-energy plot, but no matter how exciting it is, can it compare to the attack of the cavalry company?

Totally impossible!
In terms of discussion alone, "War on Earth" is far behind "Drawing Sword" today.

Fans of "War on Earth" feel like they have entered an enemy ambush.

Isn't there much discussion?

How come so many viewers suddenly appeared?

Director Zhang Hongkai was already sweating profusely.

He earned the money from being the director, and he made the money after the filming of the drama was completed, so logically he could just stop caring about it.

After all, it is very common for a TV series to flop.

But the problem is that he and Song Zhengqi were tied on a boat, and on the boat you have to compare yourself with Xu Ye.

Zhang Hongkai immediately thought of the directors who had been defeated by Xu Ye before him.

At that time, he thought that the level of these directors was not good enough and that these directors underestimated Xu Ye.

He didn't underestimate it.

Since the drama "War on the Prairie" was going to compete with Xu Ye from the very beginning, Zhang Hongkai devoted his whole heart to this drama.

To be fair, the ratings of "War on Earth" exceeded 2% when it was first broadcast, which was a bit higher. Even though it has some shortcomings, it can definitely be called a hit drama this year.

But "Drawing Sword" is stronger than him.

Moreover, "Drawing Sword" is broadcast on local TV stations. If it were broadcast on CCTV, wouldn't the ratings be even higher?

Zhang Hongkai remembered a line from Li Yunlong.

"I'm fighting the elite!"

In addition to him, Director Liang of the Flag Flying column could not sleep peacefully tonight.

He and his wife had already slept in separate beds, and at around ten o'clock he was still holding his mobile phone and constantly browsing various discussions on the Internet.

The discussions among netizens made him look more and more unhappy.

"How is this possible, how is this possible!"

Liang Jigang kept muttering to himself.

No matter what "War on Earth" does, it will be of no use when facing "Drawing Sword".

It's like an unbeatable enemy.

He couldn't accept this reality.

You know, when the column was soliciting articles that year, "Drawing Sword" also submitted it to him, but because of his relationship with Song Zhengqi, he put "Drawing Sword" in the B-level project.

As a result, this B-level project has now suppressed CCTV's A-level project on local stations.

The more Liang Jigang thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't sleep at all.

It was not until the next morning that he woke up from his bed in a daze.

His mind was still groggy; he hadn't slept well last night.

He dragged his tired body to the CCTV office building. As he walked towards the office, he always felt that many colleagues passing by looked at him with something strange in their eyes.

They all seemed to be sympathetic.

When he sat down at his desk, he checked last night's ratings.

"War and Terror", 2.41.

"Up!"

Liang Jigang felt a sense of joy in his heart.

He quickly searched the Internet for the ratings of "Drawing Sword", and his heart, which had not yet warmed up, suddenly turned cold again.

Last night, the ratings for "Drawing Sword" were 2.53!

"War on Earth" did increase in price, but "Drawing Sword" also increased in price.

Not only did it increase, but the rate of increase was even greater!
The ratings of the two dramas have increased again.

Liang Jigang broke out in a cold sweat again. Although the leader had not come to see him yet, he remembered very clearly what the director He Jiangtao said when he called him into the office.

Liang Jigang immediately called Song Zhengqi.

"Boss Song, we are now in the same boat. I don't care what method you use, this problem must be solved!"

"You asked me to solve it, how can I solve it?!"

Song Zhengqi is also a person who refuses to be outdone.

After the two had a quarrel, Song Zhengqi called some relevant staff over.

"Now, go and find a solution for me!"

After Song Zhengqi got furious, he asked these staff members to leave.

A new wave of publicity has begun on the Internet.

The official Weibo account of Zhanhuoliaoyuan even directly released a poster with a raging fire and a sword that had melted under the burning fire.

There are two big words written on the poster: "Must win"!
As soon as netizens saw the poster, they understood that it was talking about "Drawing Sword".

"Are you trying to melt the sword?"

"In fact, I don't think there's any need to struggle. It's not shameful for Wang Jiahao to lose to Teacher Jiang Linye, it's not shameful for the screenwriter to lose to Xu Ye, and it's not shameful for the director to lose to Du Chonglin."

"There is a gap between the two dramas, and that's not something you can just shout about."

"I have to say, the drama "Bright Sword" is really bloody."

"Dean, please give some reaction. People say we will win."

As a result, there was no movement from Xu Ye, and even this big studio did not respond.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Xu Ye finally updated his Weibo.

This morning, Zhanhuo Liaoyuan was constantly making a fuss, trying to use "Bright Sword" to gain popularity in both overt and covert ways.

They were just waiting for Xu Ye's response.

As long as Xu Ye responds, they can further take advantage of the popularity.

It's already this time, don't worry about face, just try to get some attention first.

After Xu Ye updated his Weibo, the publicity and promotion team of Zhanhuoliaoyuan went to check it out immediately.

But when they saw the content on Weibo, they were all dumbfounded.

Xu Ye did post on Weibo, but it was not the one they wanted to see.

The Weibo post reads "Employment guidance series for college students, homemade spicy hot pot."

This group of people were all confused.

No buddy, what does career guidance for college students have to do with making spicy hot pot?

Are you sick!

However, when everyone realized this problem, they suddenly understood it.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable!

Who says being a chef is not a job?

Everyone opened the video and started watching it.

Xu Ye's voice was heard at the beginning of the video, and the shooting location was obviously in the kitchen of Xu Ye's house.

As for the content of the video, Xu Ye teaches everyone how to make spicy hot pot, and he teaches it step by step.

It’s no wonder that Xu Ye’s teachings are very detailed. He never uses vague words like “a little” or “a few grams of salt”, nor does he say words that leave everyone speechless.

When he talked about a big fire, he showed everyone how big the flame on the stove was for a big fire and how big the flame was for a small fire. It was simple and intuitive. As for how much seasoning was needed, he also directly gestured for everyone to visually estimate how much of these seasonings were needed.

The whole process can be said to be a nanny-level tutorial.

Even some people who can't cook will become full of confidence after watching it and feel that they have learned it.

The people from the publicity and promotion team of War on the Prairie fell silent after watching it.

It is really a pure cooking video, without any other content.

"We've been busy all morning, and you just posted a cooking video? What do you mean?"

After Xu Ye posted this Weibo, a big studio reposted it and specifically brought up the topic of Drawing the Sword.

Netizens couldn't hold it anymore.

"Everyone is ready to fight you to the death, and you come over here with a homemade spicy hot pot."

"Brother, can you please delete this video? My friend is a fresh graduate this year, and he was a little upset after watching your video."

"I've learned it. I'm going to set up a stall on the street tomorrow!"

"Thank you, dean. This is the best career guidance for college students."

“This is a cooking video I can understand.”

"Dean, please be serious!"

When Song Zhengqi learned that Xu Ye posted a cooking video, he almost vomited blood in anger.

The next day, the ratings data came out again.

Bright Sword, 2.63.

The flames of war spread across the land, 2.44.

It is obvious that the growth rate of "War on Earth" has slowed down, while "Drawing Sword" is still rising steadily.

A day later, the ratings of "Bright Sword" directly broke through 2.7, while the ratings of "War on the Land" dropped a little to 2.43.

At this moment, the attention of the entire film and television industry was attracted.

The drama "Drawing Sword" obviously has a chance of breaking 3 in ratings!

In this era of low ratings, a TV series with a rating of over 3 is definitely a huge hit.

Now, many people in the film and television industry no longer care about the grudges between Song Zhengqi and Xu Ye, and they all started cheering for "Drawing Sword".

If the ratings of "Drawing Sword" really break 3, it will be like a shot in the arm for the entire TV drama industry.

The market is sluggish, but there is still a chance to produce a super hit!

A TV series that truly made history!
On July 7th, new ratings were released.

The ratings of "Drawing Sword" have risen to 2.89.

However, "War on Earth" declined again, falling directly to 2.39.

No matter how much the creative team of "War on Earth" promotes it, it will be of no avail.

It is a fact that the ratings have started to decline!
Not only did the ratings decline, but the playback data of "War on the Wild Wild Bunch" on the online streaming platform was also far lower than before.

This is also normal because this drama is of the same type as "Bright Sword".

After watching "Drawing Sword" and then "Warring States", the audience always felt that something was not right.

If there was no "Bright Sword", the audience would not have such a clear contrast. But now there is "Bright Sword".

This drama directly attracted all the audiences of the same type.

Seeing that various data began to decline, the publicity and promotion team of "War on Earth" began to openly take advantage of the popularity.

Aren’t the two dramas of the same genre?

Then start looking for internet trolls and talk about the two dramas together.

"Both 'Drawing Sword' and 'War on Fire' are excellent war films that extol the spirit and glorious deeds of the heroes. There is no need to praise one and criticize the other."

"I'm just a casual observer. I've watched both dramas. Although the pace of War on the Prairie is not as good as that of Bright Sword, Wang Jiahao's acting skills in War on the Prairie are obvious to all. It's still worth watching."

After a group of internet trolls and fan club members came out, they really started a new trend.

Seeing that the pace was getting better, the Zhanhuoliaoyuan team sent out a prepared Weibo post.

"As two war films broadcast at the same time, "War on the Prairie" and "Drawing Sword" share the same purpose. When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave prevails. Although "War on the Prairie" lost, it is still an honor. All members of the "War on the Prairie" crew are willing to work together with "Drawing Sword" to let more audiences feel the spirit of the martyrs. I also wish "Drawing Sword" a long-lasting viewership."

This Weibo post did not represent Song Zhengqi’s opinion, but rather the opinion of other investors and Liang Jigang.

How could Song Zhengqi admit defeat? If he wanted to admit defeat, he would have done so long ago.

But others don't have to be like him.

Other investors, as well as the broadcasting platform Juzi Video, have already wanted to cut their losses in time.

If this continues, the reputation will collapse and the situation will become serious.

This Weibo post is their gesture of goodwill.

As long as "Drawing Sword" is willing to shake hands and make peace, everything will be fine.

However, not long after they posted this Weibo, Xu Ye made a comment below.

"First, it's not a case of the brave winning when we meet each other on a narrow road. Second, who will work together with you?"

As soon as Xu Ye’s comment came out, the silly netizens laughed like crazy.

"It's true that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The road is actually quite wide, but you narrowed it."

"You were the ones who criticized the Swordsman before, and you are the ones who want to make peace now. Who will work with you?"

"If it were someone else, they might have agreed, but you are facing Xu Huohua. He has a problem, that is, he is hard! Thick and hard!"

"I feel embarrassed for you guys for being so cold to me."

“The marketing team can be fired.”

As for the group of fans who were spreading rumors and criticizing Xu Ye, not many people paid any attention to them.

The reason is simple. They were the ones who started the trouble and now that they can't win, they want to beg for mercy. How can such a good thing happen?

A group of investors looked at each other, completely at a loss.

"If this continues, online streaming platforms and TV stations will have to consider the impact. Bluebird Entertainment should be cautious when investing in dramas."

Tonight, the fourteenth and fifteenth episodes of "Drawing Sword" were broadcast.

In the thirteenth episode updated yesterday, Li Yunlong and Yang Xiuqin got married in the village, but Zhu Ziming in the team had betrayed them and leaked the news to Yamamoto. That night, the Japanese attacked the village, leaving only Li Yunlong with the injured Zhao Gang and the remaining eight soldiers.

In this episode, there is joy at the beginning and frustration at the end.

All the people in Zhaojiayu were killed by Yamamoto, and the entire village was burned down by Yamamoto.

After Chu Yunfei discovered this, he immediately chased Yamamoto and forced Yamamoto to Ping'an County.

However, Yamamoto has Xiuqin as a hostage.

After Li Yunlong learned the news, he ordered all battalions to gather quickly. Previously, these battalions had dispersed to the base areas for development. By the time they gathered together, the total number of people had reached over 10,000.

It’s not Captain Li, but Commander Li!
Today, the Battle of Ping'angle officially begins!
Countless viewers want to see Li Yunlong defeat Yamamoto and take revenge in this episode!
At the beginning of this episode, Li Yunlong is with the battalion commanders.

"This battle is for our Political Commissar Zhao, for the brothers who sacrificed their lives in our independent regiment, and for the villagers who sacrificed their lives in Zhaojiayu!"

The audience also understands that Li Yunlong's behavior is actually wrong.

In fact, every time Li Yunlong is about to act on his own in the play, there will be a supporting character who will persuade him and explain the reason behind it.

Li Yunlong is not a saint. The reason why he is attractive is that he is flesh and blood, with both advantages and disadvantages.

This is a very distinctive character in dramas of the same type.

At this moment, the audience didn't want to care about so many things, everyone just wanted to enjoy the show.

Li Yunlong made arrangements and local troops also joined the battle. They said that no matter how long the battle lasted, they would not withdraw as long as the main force did not leave.

We are united in purpose and determination!
The audience was already aroused.

The scene changed, and the soldiers had already launched an attack on the county town.

A soldier holding a bag of explosives fell down, and another one immediately rushed forward, picked it up and continued to rush forward.

Yamamoto also sensed the crisis and quickly asked the commander for help.

A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed to Ping'an County to provide assistance.

Soon, the commander of the New 1st Regiment, Ding Wei, discovered that this group of Japanese soldiers were passing through his defense zone. After analyzing the situation, Ding Wei also realized that the Japanese soldiers' target was Ping'an County.

Ding Wei said slowly: "Rather than miss the opportunity, we should continue to attack. No matter whether this enemy is going to reinforce or not, even if he is going to celebrate the birthday, you can't let him succeed!"

Later, Chu Yunfei also discovered that Li Yunlong was going to attack Ping'an County.

When Chu Yunfei learned that Li Yunlong's troops had already engaged in a firefight with the Japanese reinforcements, he decisively ordered support.

"No matter who is attacking Ping An, our 358th Regiment will definitely help!"

After receiving information from various places, Kong Jie laughed and said, "It's so exciting, so exciting!"

Kong Jie immediately ordered all his troops to join the battle.

Suddenly the entire northwest of Shanxi was in chaos.

People from all sides gathered towards Ping'an County.

On the other side, the Sixth Company blocked the enemy on the periphery.

The opponent they faced was an entire Japanese regiment.

The Sixth Company finally managed to hold out for eight hours, but it had run out of ammunition and food, and only had a few soldiers left.

By the end, the clothes of the remaining soldiers were covered with dust, cannon fodder and blood, and they all gathered around the company commander Huang Zhiyong.

"Company commander, what should we do?" asked the soldiers.

Huang Zhiyong said: "Fight the devils."

A soldier brought the last explosive and everyone gathered around it.

Huang Zhiyong said: "If the devils come, I will start a fire. Comrades, are you afraid?"

Everyone said in unison: "Don't be afraid!"

Huang Zhiyong nodded.

Dust was rising on the battlefield. In the smoke, Huang Zhiyong and others sang military songs while pulling the explosives.

Everyone died together with the devils and sacrificed heroically!

At this moment, not to mention the adults, even many children who were watching TV with their parents clenched their fists.

They may not understand how complicated the principles behind this are, but these kids still understand one thing.

These people are heroes, they sacrificed their lives fighting the Japanese!

In Ping'an County, Yamamoto found it hard to believe when he learned that the troops attacking him were Li Yunlong's troops. He decided to take Xiuqin to the city wall to see if it was Li Yunlong.

In fact, Yamamoto was a very insidious person. He already knew that the reinforcements would not be able to arrive in a short time, so he tried his best to buy time for the reinforcements.

Outside the city, the soldiers desperately charged towards the county town but to no avail.

After seeing this, Li Yunlong ordered: "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

He rushed to the front of the position and shouted, "Second Battalion Commander, where is your fucking Italian gun? Pull it up!"

A cannon was pulled over by the soldiers.

Just as the second battalion commander was about to fire, a white flag was raised on the city wall, and Yamamoto appeared on the city gate tower holding Xiuqin hostage.

Li Yunlong was so angry that he started cursing.

Yamamoto finally confirmed that it was Li Yunlong who hit him. Several Eighth Route Army soldiers pointed their guns at Yamamoto, but Yamamoto used Xiuqin to threaten everyone, so the soldiers had to reluctantly move their guns away.

Yamamoto went even further and threatened Li Yunlong to cease fire for fifteen minutes.

Li Yunlong yelled, "Don't try that. You and I both know that a minute can decide the outcome of a battle. I, Li Yunlong, will not trade the lives of my soldiers for my wife!"

Xiuqin immediately shouted: "Well said, Commander! I, Xiuqin, in exchange for so many devils, it's worth it! Commander, fire! To avenge our comrades in the independent regiment and the hundreds of villagers in Zhaojiayu."

"Li Yunlong, fire!"

In this scene, every actor performed with great devotion.

Li Yunlong looked at Xiuqin with a complicated expression. There was determination on his face, but his eyes were wet.

He yelled, "Fire!"

Monk Wei stepped forward to stop him: "Don't fire, Captain, don't fire, let me lead the brothers to charge again!"

Xiuqin shouted heartbreakingly: "Li Yunlong, go ahead and fire! I am yours in life and your ghost in death! Remember, I, Xiuqin, will marry you in my next life! Go ahead and fire! Don't let me look down on you!"

At this time, Xiuqin was determined to die.

When the country was in crisis, even though she was just an ordinary woman, she still had her own blood.

It is precisely because of people like this that the backbone of this nation has never bent even if it has been broken.

Li Yunlong listened to Xiuqin's voice. His body had become a little limp and he was being supported by Monk Wei.

There was a long silence. Suddenly, he pushed the monk away and kicked him, with only determination left on his face.

He yelled, "Fire!"

With a loud bang, the shell exploded on the city gate tower, turning everything into ruins.

After doing all this, Li Yunlong stared blankly at the city gate tower, and finally sat down on the ground.

He leaned against the sandbag, his eyes dull.

This is the first time in the play that Li Yunlong did not charge with the soldiers.

The sound of the gunfire brought tears to countless audience members’ eyes.

The word "sacrifice" suddenly became a real thing in front of everyone.

This is the integrity of this nation!

Family feuds and national hatred should never be forgotten!
In the fifteenth episode, Li Yunlong's monologue in front of Xiuqin's grave once again brought tears to the audience's eyes.

After these two episodes were aired today, the topic of Li Yunlong firing shots became the number one hot search topic.

Various topics directly occupied eight of the top entertainment hot lists.

The ratings were announced the next day.

"Drawing Sword" has a viewership rating of 3.04!

"War on Fire" dropped directly to 2.26.
For a time, the whole network was shocked.
