Chapter 709: Drawing Sword Completed

Half a month had passed since the premier of Drawing Sword.

Although it was a military themed series, it managed to stir up quite a commotion in the entertainment industry, bringing them a huge shock.

Its outstanding ratings caused the value of each actor in the series to rise explosively, leading to them receiving endless invitations.

Just as the major entertainment companies were trying to headhunt those actors, they were surprised to find out that a good number of those people were not actors!

It was not because of their lack of popularity. Instead, it was because acting was not their profession!

After further research, they discovered a more shocking issue. It turns out that most of the action scenes in Drawing Sword were done by Warriors. There were no stuntmen at all. Even the fights were real!

Following that, some media platforms published their discovery. With the series’ popularity, that topic immediately sparked another round of heated debate.

[Damn! It’s all Warriors in there!]

[Are the Warriors getting involved in the silver screen too? That’s just rash!]

[I hope to see more of this kind of series. It’s filled with positive vibes! Warriors are the coolest!]

[No wonder this series is lit AF. So they were all Warriors. Waaaahhh, that’s so cool!]

[The fights are just exhilarating. So cool!]

[It was all actual moves. No wonder the acting was so realistic. This is an awesome series.]

[They’re Warriors! They are the ones I respect the most. It’s a wonderful thing for them to be on the silver screen. If possible, I’d like to learn martial arts!]

[That’s a pioneer project. How did Actor Y get so many Warriors involved? I’ve only heard of them in the news.]

[That’s right. They would only appear when there are big incidents in the country. They’re the ones that silently shelter us. This military themed series is just so relatable.]

[Actor Y’s script is really good too. Otherwise, these Warriors wouldn’t have taken part.]

[It’s so inspiring. I suddenly feel the urge to become a Warrior!]

[Ahhh, no wonder the people in there are so handsome. That’s how a man should be. Now that I look back at those little fresh meat, they’re like nothing.]

…

Zhang Tao’s recording studio.

Everyone was dejected.

“Relentless Swordsman’s ratings?”

“It’s already down to 0.72%.”

“That low?”

“Sigh, what’s going on? How did it get to this?”

“Actor Y’s TV series is just too crazy. There’s nothing we can do.”

“For him to hire Warriors…did the Warrior’s Department support him? Are they trying to convey some sort of message exposing Warriors on the silver screen?”

“Is Actor Y trying to raise the bar for all TV series? Every one of his series has such high ratings. Drawing Sword’s highest rating had already gone past 6%. How will the other TV stations survive in the future? What about the other production teams and entertainment companies? Can they ever surpass him?!”

“You guys didn’t even see Best Time. They’re even worse off now.”

“This is too scary!”

…

A lot of people from the entertainment industry were gathering for a meal.

“It’s unbelievable. These ratings are just terrifying.”

“I just hope for one thing right now.”

“Director Liu, what is it?”

“I hope that Drawing Sword’s ratings will stop here. If they go any higher, it’ll be hopeless.”

“That’s right. 6% is more than enough. Any higher would be…”

“Isn’t the series ending tomorrow? Let’s wait for the results.”

“Sigh, may god help us!”

“I pray for a crappy ending!”

“That’s right! Crappy ending!”

“Pfft, you guys are too mean. Why so much hate?”

“It’s his fault for being so monstrous. Actor Y is really giving us too much pressure. I really want to know what’s going on with the nickname Y. It’s generating a lot of pressure in the various fields. Actor Y, Singer Y, Livestream Y, Hacker Y, and Miracle Doctor Y. They’re all terrifying beings in their fields. These guys are just too good at what they do.”

“Yeah. When Y is in the same field, the pressure is immense and causes great despair.”

“It’s possible for a series like this to meet a crappy ending. Let’s just wait and see.”

…

The next day, 7:30pm.

Drawing Sword had finally come to an end.

After so many years of warfare, they finally achieved victory. As the symbol of honor, Li Yunlong was given the stage to deliver his speech.

“The spirit of drawing sword—When ancient swordsmen ran into their opponents, they would still unsheath their sword even if their opponent was the unrivaled, best swordsman in the world. Even if they were to fall to their opponent’s sword, that would be a noble loss. That—is the spirit of drawing sword!

“It is proven that a troop with excellent culture is the breeding ground for heroes. Even when badly outnumbered and surrounded, we still dared to draw our swords. We dare to fight to the bitter end. To put simply, the courageous will win! The spirit of drawing sword is the spirit of our military. Where the sword points, all shall perish.”

Following the strong and moving speech, the ending theme started playing.

Some were overwhelmed by emotions, some were crying silently, and some felt their passion boiling over as they looked at the screen. This series was just too special as they have never encountered a TV series that could affect their hearts like that.

The next day, the ratings for Drawing Sword’s ending came out.

Episode 32: 7.28%

At that moment, people went wild!

The entire entertainment industry, the media, and viewers were all dumbfounded!

They were stunned with disbelief!

[O-o-over 7%?!]

[I don’t know what emoji I can use to express my emotion right now. F*ck!]

[Oh no, I think my brain is freezing up.]

[Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?]

[I can’t deny that it’s a wonderful series.]

[7.28%. What an astronomical figure. That’s something nobody expected, right?]

[This will turn into a legend.]

[That might not be the case. Actor Y’s ratings record can still be broken by Actor Y himself.]

[That’s true. After iPartment, we have Drawing Sword. I’m looking forward to Actor Y’s new series.]

…

In the entertainment industry:

[F*ck! Damn you!]

[Damn it! It really went over 7%! This is ruthless!]

[Although we knew this was coming, I was still stupefied when I saw the figure.]

[I won’t dare to film anymore TV series in the future.]

[I feel that my old TV series were all shit…]

[Instead of a crappy ending, it was a grand finale. I feel so hopeless!]

…

Drawing Sword was completed.

On Miracle Island, everyone was celebrating.

Li Tai raised his cup. “Young Master Ye, you’re super amazing! Following you is the best choice I’ve ever made in my life. This toast is for you!”

Li Jing similarly raised his cup. “Young Master Ye, I’ve learned so much from you. This is for you!”

“Hahaha, why don’t we just give a toast to Young Master Ye together?”

Ye Lingchen raised his cup in response to the toasts. “Thank you for all your support. We will work together and help this company grow!”

After the celebration, Ye Lingchen returned to his home. However, his expression was solemn.

He stared at the phone and his brows furrowed into a frown.

He had tried continuously to relay the good news to Old Qin and the other Warriors involved in the filming. However, Old Qin’s phone was unreachable.

It had already been over half a month without any reply. The matter that occupied Old Qin seemed to be rather serious…
