Chapter 182 Yu Xie chickened out

Unlike the shock and excitement of many viewers, Jing Chenxi's face was gloomy, and he was breathing heavily with anger.

Since his falling out with Xiao Qingfeng, his popularity has plummeted, and his reputation and character have fallen to rock bottom.

Nowadays, if it weren't for his family's wealth supporting him, no variety shows or programs would be interested in him anymore.

In his view, Xiao Qingfeng was the culprit who caused him to fall into this predicament. Therefore, he had been holding back his anger and paying close attention to Xiao Qingfeng's every move, just to find a way to attack Xiao Qingfeng as soon as possible.

So when "Chinese Paladin" premiered, he was already glued to the TV, not to boost the show's ratings, but to be the first to witness Xiao Qingfeng's downfall.

However, he was shocked just by seeing the opening theme song.

Although he had heard the song "Sha Po Lang" before, listening to it again now gave him a different feeling, even a sense of amazement.

It's worth noting that singing for TV dramas is also a way for singers to gain wider recognition.

He has received many offers from TV drama directors and producers, but he has rejected them all without exception because the pay was too low and the benefits to his popularity were limited.

Another more important reason is that he felt that singing an OSt for a TV series was a very low-class thing to do and did not suit his status.

In fact, singers with even a little bit of fame in the music industry are not very willing to take on this kind of work.

As a result, Xiao Qingfeng has now proven with his talent that TV drama theme songs can be just as captivating.

What he found even more unacceptable was that he himself thought the song was very good.

Jing Chenxi was gritting his teeth, he was so angry he couldn't stand it.

"Hmph, so what if the opening theme song is good? I don't believe the content is good either. I'm sure this is a terrible show."

"I'm waiting for you to become the laughing stock of the entire internet, so you can experience what it's like to be a rat crossing the street."

At this moment, Jing Chenxi roared in his heart.

Meanwhile, in another city, Yu Xie's face was also dark. After watching the opening theme song, he had a bad feeling.

Previously, because they were from different circles, although he knew of Xiao Qingfeng, a singer who ascended to the throne of a superstar at the young age of twenty-five, he had not actually heard many of Xiao Qingfeng's songs.

People in the TV drama industry already look down on singers, let alone someone who is a big shot in the industry, they would be even less likely to actively pay attention to a singer.

But now he realizes he was wrong, terribly wrong.

Although he only watched the beginning, the opening song and the content of the intro were surprisingly impressive and even quite stunning.

People online have long said, "You can criticize Yu Laoliu's character, but you can't deny his aesthetic sense," after all, Yu Laoliu does have unique insights into aesthetics.

Therefore, Yu Xie immediately recognized that "Chinese Paladin" was of extremely high quality in terms of both cinematography and costumes.

To be honest, Yu Laoliu was truly amazed.

In particular, he discovered that Xiao Qingfeng's song "Sha Po Lang" matched the opening theme perfectly, with even the visual language and lyrics matching each other.

At that moment, he realized that he had been somewhat reckless and had underestimated Xiao Qingfeng.

A wave of fear followed. Outsiders watch the spectacle, but insiders know the intricacies, and he was definitely an insider in the TV drama industry, knowing what the audience liked to watch most.

Therefore, he immediately knew that the production quality of Xiao Qingfeng's TV series was very high. As long as the content and the actors' acting skills were not too bad, the series would definitely be a huge hit.

At this moment, countless viewers are watching "Chinese Paladin" intently, holding their mobile phones, sitting in front of their computers, or watching television.

Viewers watching on mobile devices immediately shared their viewing experiences.

"Wow, this scene is so beautiful! Every frame could be a wallpaper!" A comment floated across the screen, instantly resonating with many viewers.

"The male lead is so handsome! Gu Yuege is simply the chosen one, Li Xiaoyao!" Immediately afterwards, countless comments praising the male lead's good looks flooded the screen.

"Brother Xiaoyao's ancient costume look is absolutely stunning! His charisma is unmatched!"

"Gu Yuege has both good looks and acting skills, I love her!"

The female lead's appearance also amazed everyone.

"Yang Yitong is so beautiful! She's like a fairy who stepped out of a painting!"

"Zhao Ling'er is so charming! Her looks and her temperament are amazing. I'm in love. I will marry no one but Zhao Ling'er in this life."

"The design of the descendant of Nuwa is so ethereal, Yang Yitong is exactly the Zhao Ling'er in my heart."

As the plot unfolds, the exciting fight scenes get the audience's blood pumping.

"These fight scenes are so exciting! The action choreography is amazing!"

"The moves were clean and crisp, and the special effects were very realistic. It was so exciting to watch."

"It's been a long time since I've seen such exciting fight scenes in a martial arts drama. 'Chinese Paladin' certainly didn't disappoint me."

"The special effects are amazing! They're just as good as those in blockbuster movies!"

"The special effects in the fantasy world are so realistic, it feels like you're actually there."

"Give the special effects team a bonus, the visuals are absolutely stunning."

The use of camera language also won high praise from the audience.

"The shot transition was so natural, the director is such a great director!"

"The use of various camera techniques—overhead shots, low-angle shots, and close-ups—is just right, creating a visually stunning effect."

"The cinematography is very expressive, vividly showcasing the characters' emotions and the atmosphere of the story."

Besides praising the visuals, actors, fight scenes, and special effects, viewers were also deeply captivated by the storyline.

"The plot is so fast-paced, not dragging at all, it's so exciting!"

"I've always loved fantasy dramas, and the plot of 'Chinese Paladin' is very original."

"The characters are well-developed, and the plot is both funny and touching."

"This show will definitely become a classic!" One comment stood out, representing the sentiments of many viewers.

"I was amazed from the opening theme, but I didn't expect the main feature to be even more spectacular."

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy is sure to be a huge hit. I highly recommend it to my friends."

On social media, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" quickly became a hot topic.

Netizens shared their viewing experiences, showering the show with praise.

"Chinese Paladin is the best TV series I've watched this year, bar none!"

"Gu Yuege and Yang Yitong are such a perfect pairing, I have to keep watching this drama."

"The special effects, plot, and actors are all excellent. 'Chinese Paladin' is truly a masterpiece."

Meanwhile, Jing Chenxi's face darkened further as he looked at the flood of positive reviews online.

He never expected that Xiao Qingfeng's TV series would be loved by so many people. What's worse, he actually thought it was pretty good, which was completely outrageous.

"Hmph, it's just a passing fad. I don't believe it can stay popular forever," Jing Chenxi thought to himself.

Yu Xie also felt the pressure; his previous contempt for Xiao Qingfeng had vanished.

"It seems that Xiao Qingfeng is indeed quite capable, but this is only the beginning, and it will definitely flop later on," Yu Xie prayed silently.

As the plot unfolds, the popularity of "Chinese Paladin" continues to rise.

The two episodes aired quickly, and viewers left comments saying they weren't satisfied, flocking to Xiao Qingfeng's comment section to share their thoughts.

Meanwhile, countless screenwriters and directors in the TV drama industry were also paying close attention to every move on the internet, because they could check the premiere ratings of "Chinese Paladin" 24 hours a day.

But for Yu Xie, those twenty-four hours were an absolutely agonizing period.

Because his bet with Xiao Qingfeng will be revealed in 24 hours.
