Chapter 1527 Eliminate Them!
“So quick?”
Fang Qiu was surprised. He always felt that the second season had just ended, but the third season actually came so soon.
“Not really.”
Director Li Huawen shook his head and said with a smile, “The new year has come. With some preparation time, it’s estimated not to be put on until the second quarter of this year. So it’s almost launching one season a year.”
Director Chen Xiaogang said with a smile, “Good for you guys who make variety shows.
“As long as the first season goes viral, the ratings of the second and third seasons won’t be less. If you change some guests to make some topics, the popularity will keep increasing. We, filmmakers, are not as good as you.”
“Not really. You guys can make a big fortune.”
Li Huawen hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, “I just follow the instructions of my high-ups. It’s just a job.”
“Congratulations, Director Li. I am sure that the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’ season 3 will continue the trend of the previous two seasons and be popular to the end.”
As the main host of the variety show, Liu Qingshi immediately stood up with a smile and toasted Li Huawen.
“Come on. Cheers!”
While toasting, Liu Qingshi called on everyone, “To Director Li and Director Chen, wishing Director Li’s ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’ season 3 to go viral and Director Chen’s online drama ratings hit a new high. Congratulations again!”
Liu Qingshi deserved to be the main host.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gathered together. Several people, who didn’t know how to break the ice at first because of unfamiliarity with others, become cheerful.
They started drinking and talking.
The more they talked, the more cheerful they became.
“Be my guest. Have a taste of the medicated diets, please.”
While everyone was chatting happily, Fang Qiu took the initiative to get up and invite them to taste the dished.
Actually…
Everyone was already hungry.
Smelling the fragrance of the medicated diets on the table, they couldn’t help wanting to start.
But…
They enjoyed chatting so much that they felt shy to start to eat first.
Since Fang Qiu said so, everyone no longer hesitated. They all picked up cutleries and began to taste the cuisine.
After a bite…
Everyone changed their expression.
“It’s delicious.”
Liu Qingshi gave the compliment. He then said, “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I can’t imagine what the tastes of the medicated diet are like. I didn’t expect it to be so delicious.”
“Umm, it’s so good.”
Song Yaqi immediately nodded and said, “This is the best cuisine I’ve ever eaten.”
“It’s so tasty.”
Li Huawen and the others also nodded. Li Huswen said, “No wonder it’s so popular. It seems that I have to apply for a membership card. Although I can’t afford to eat it often, it’s okay for me to come here once or twice a month.”
“I’ll apply for the membership card, too.”
Chen Xiaogang chimed in, “At our age, health is more important than anything else. The medicated diet is the most suitable for us to preserve our health.”
Then…
All others said that they also wanted to apply for a membership card.
Fang Qiu didn’t expect that he could bring in several memberships to the restaurant by treating them to a meal.
However…
In order to thank everyone…
Fang Qiu called the waiter and asked him to get a 10% discount card for each of his friends.
As everyone knew…
The medicated diet restaurant was so popular that customers always had to spend a long time waiting in a queue for an available table. It was already very good to get a membership card, not to mention a discount card.
Moreover, with the 10% discount card, each dish could save about one or two hundred Huaxia coins.
Seeing that Fang Qiu was so generous…
Everyone took out their wallets and charged 100,000 Huaxia coins into their membership cards respectively.
Among them…
Li Huawen, Liu Qingshi, and the other hosts had the least income. In contrast to Liu Qingshi, the other hosts earned a little less. Even so, it was not a problem for them to earn nearly tens of millions of Huaxia coins a year.
Therefore, everyone was willing to pay 100,000 Huaxia coins.
After the meal…
They chatted with each other delightedly, and they also took photos and posted them on Weibo, giving high compliments to the medicated diet restaurant and thanking Fang Qiu for inviting them to dinner.
Instantly, it caused quite a stir on Weibo.
…
Somewhere…
It was a spacious place like grassland, surrounded by lush mountain peaks.
One figure sat cross-legged, floating in the air half a meter above the ground.
“Whoosh.”
Suddenly…
A black shadow flew over from afar and knelt in front of that person.
“My Lord.”
As soon as the black shadow knelt on the ground, he immediately reported, “I received news that a force in Zhongdong has been constantly targeting us. So far, several of our small strongholds have been destroyed, and we have lost over a hundred people.”
“Hmm?”
Floating in mid-air, Lord Virtuous raised his eyebrows. He slowly opened his eyes and said, “Do I have to teach you how to deal with such a thing? Find them and eliminate them!”
“Yes, My Lord.”
The black shadow quickly took the order and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.”
Lord Virtuous shouted indifferently. Then he said, “Keep a low profile when taking the action. Don’t draw too much attention. In addition, mobilize all the information networks immediately to find out John Doe for me.”
Chinese Medicine Restaurant spoke of this…
His face turned gloomy.
Not long ago, he received news that John Doe once showed up on the southern high seas and got into a fight with Murican there.
Since the last combat with Fang Qiu…
Lord Virtuous had thought that John Doe would have been dead without a doubt.
But to his surprise, Fang Qiu not only survived but also recovered so quickly. Fang Qiu even went to the sea to fight with Murica in such a short time.
In this situation…
Lord Virtuous felt a little uneasy.
He remembered it very clearly.
John Doe’s strength was not as good as his, but in the fight with him, the strength John Doe showed was much stronger than that of an ordinary guru. At least, it was not a problem for John Doe to deal with two experts at the Venerable level at the same time. If John Doe fought with all his strength, even three or four Venerable would be no match for John Doe.
And most importantly…
John Doe’s strength grew too fast.
In just over two years, John Doe had reached this level. Moreover, in the last combat, Lord Virtuous distinctly felt that John Doe’s strength was approaching his, which seemed not far away to be as good as his.
In this case…
Once John Doe broke through to the level of One-Flower Core Formation as same as his current level, it would be difficult for him to kill John Doe again.
So…
Lord Virtuous had to find John Doe and kill him before that happened.
“Yes, My Lord.”
The black shadow replied and then left quickly.
“John Doe, you sneak attacked me last time. I won’t give you another chance to escape again!”
Lord Virtuous clenched his fists tightly, and anger aroused in his heart.
Thinking back that John Doe had actually transplanted that mysterious and weird dark material into his body, Lord Virtuous was furious. If he had not been affected by the mysterious dark material, John Doe would have become a dead body for a long time!
…
In the capital…
Taking advantage of the online uproar…
Chen Xiaogang wrote a post on Weibo. In addition to promoting the medicated diet restaurant, he also attached Fang Qiu’s photo and publicized the online drama.
As he knew, wherever there was Fang Qiu, there would be popularity.
Under the circumstances that Fang Qiu was unwilling to participate in the publicity, this way could also work.
As expected…
The publicity posted by Chen Xiaogang soon attracted the netizens’ attention on Weibo.
Millions of netizens were looking forward to the release of the online drama series.
At 12 o’clock that night…
It was two hours after the online drama publicity conference ended. The online drama directed by Chen Xiaogang was officially released.
The moment it was released…
Millions of netizens immediately opened their membership accounts to watch the first two episodes.
The number of views increased rapidly in an extremely terrifying way. It quickly exceeded 200 million in just half an hour.
After all, a person could contribute two hits after watching two episodes. If each episode was refreshed or replayed, the hits would go three or four times. Plus, Fang Qiu had so many fans and many passers-by who had watched the movie, so no one was shocked at such click rates. Instead, they thought it was a matter of course.
Following that, the click rate continued to soar at a terrifying speed.
But…
After watching the first two episodes…
Netizens started to leave comments one after another.
“Finally, I finished watching it. This is only one TV series that can be finished watching in two episodes, right?”
“It’s boring next. The protagonist doesn’t even show up. What to watch?”
“What a pity! Fang Qiu only plays in these two episodes. Fang Qiu deserves to have more scenes.
“The casting crew all act well, but still, I just want to see Fang Qiu.”
“Well, I’m speechless about the protagonist. He is not as good as Fang Qiu at all.”
“Well, I don’t feel out of place if Fang Qiu plays the role of his apprentice. Why did they invite a young actor to play it?”
“Fang Qiu is so good at acting. He’s still the Yang Yizhi I like!”
“Agreed. Yang Yizhi’s scenes are too less.”
“Hurry up and shoot ‘Yang Yizhi S2’. As long as it’s released, I’ll buy the movie ticket regardless of how much it cost.”
Following that comment…
Numerous netizens strongly requested to continue shooting the movie series of “Yang Yizhi”. They all said that they didn’t lack the money for a movie ticket. As long as Fang Qiu acted in it, they would go to watch it.
In the meantime…
They also left messages on Fang Qiu’s Weibo in succession.
“Beep beep beep…” Fang Qiu, who was resting in the hotel, was suddenly woken up by the notification sound of his cell phone.
He grabbed it to take a look.
He didn’t expect to receive so many comments and private messages, and it was all because of the online drama and the role of Yang Yizhi.
Fang Qiu did not know what to say but to give a bitter smile.
He turned off the reminding function on his Weibo and then quickly sent a post on Weibo.
“I’ve been too busy recently. Just take it as I owe you a movie. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll make up for it. By the way, I hope you guys can support Director Chen in his online dramas. Thank you, everyone.”
As soon as the netizens browsed this post on Weibo, they got very excited.
To their surprise…
Fang Qiu actually responded.
And most importantly, Fang Qiu had promised everyone that he would make up for it with another movie, which brought them a lot of hope.
In addition, everyone knew that Fang Qiu not only ran a super online store but also assisted Renyi Group to set up a medicated diet restaurant. He was indeed as busy as a bee.
In this case, he really didn’t have time to shoot a movie.
Therefore…
The netizens didn’t insist.
“All right. Don’t go back on your word, okay?”
“When will you retire? Only if you retired, I could watch your TV series and movies every day. Is that right?”
“One film is definitely not enough, so you must make a few more. I’ll watch as many as you can make. I’ll make the money ready for those movie tickets.”
“Alas, how long do I have to wait? I hope that I can watch the end of the ‘Yang Yizhi’ series movies in my lifetime!”
