Chapter 187 Tavern Street

Yu Xie had used this method many times before and it always worked, but this time netizens don't seem to be buying it.

In the TV drama industry, few can rival Yu Xie when it comes to hype. Those who are not as good as him can't beat him, and those who are better than him don't bother to stoop to his level. That's why he's so successful in the TV drama industry.

But things are different now. Xiao Qingfeng has become a national idol, with a loyal following ranging from eighty-year-olds to eight-year-olds.

"The Lone Warrior" garnered countless fans among elementary and middle school students; "The Wind Rises" won over countless college students; "Horse Herding City" captivated countless young people struggling in the city; and "Blue and White Porcelain" won over countless lovers of classical culture...

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Qingfeng is now a national idol, with countless fans from all walks of life.

So this time, Yu Xie really messed with Xiao Qingfeng and got himself into trouble, but he still hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

Moreover, facing the verbal attacks from Xiao Qingfeng's fans, Yu Xie not only showed no remorse, but was also somewhat smug. In his view, the insults from Xiao Qingfeng's fans were just the rage of the incompetent.

However, just as Yu Xie was feeling smug, Xiao Qingfeng didn't indulge him at all.

"Water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is shameless is invincible. You have truly shown me what it means for a person to be shameless to be invincible. @Screenwriter Yu Xie!"

Xiao Qingfeng's Weibo post immediately caused a huge uproar online.

Like a ignited flame, the fans' anger and support intertwined and spread rapidly.

The elementary school students wrote down their support for Xiao Qingfeng in their childish handwriting: "Brother Xiao Qingfeng is the best! That bad guy Yu Xie is so wicked!"

High school students actively voiced their opinions on various social media platforms, using their youthful passion to stand up for their idol, saying, "Yu Xie must apologize; we can't let him bully our idol!"

The university students used their literary talents to write a lengthy scathing critique of Yu Xie's inappropriate behavior, stating that "he uses hype to attract attention but does not know how to respect true art; Yu Xie's behavior is despicable."

Young people working hard in the city also stopped their busy lives and joined the condemnation, saying, "Xiao Qingfeng's songs have given us strength, and Yu Xie shouldn't slander him like this."

Classical culture enthusiasts quoted extensively from classical texts, using elegant language to express their support for Xiao Qingfeng: "Xiao is like a pure lotus, noble and unblemished. Those of the wicked should reflect on their own conduct."

Major media outlets also focused on this matter, with headlines dominated by the dispute between Xiao Qingfeng and Yu Xie.

The broadcast continued into the evening of the following day, with the third and fourth episodes of "Chinese Paladin" airing one after another.

Although the live stream was filled with insults and slander against the paid commenters when it first aired, the entire internet was shocked once again when the ratings came out.

The latest ratings show that last night's peak rating reached 7.12% and the average rating reached 6.95%.

Yu Xie was stunned, the haters were stunned, but the real audience was excited.

Yu Xie stared at the astonishing viewership ratings, his face turning ashen, a mixture of anger and jealousy churning within him.

Their own malicious hype and suppression not only failed to suppress the show, but instead made it even more popular.

He slammed the cup in his hand to the ground and roared, "How is this possible? There must be something wrong with this!"

The haters were also thrown into chaos and anger. They originally thought they could ruin the show's reputation with malicious attacks, but they didn't expect the audience to not buy it.

They vented their frustrations online, yet seemed utterly powerless.

The actual audience, however, were immersed in the joy of victory.

Social media platforms are filled with cheers from viewers. "The Legend of Sword and Fairy is amazing! It silences those malicious people with its strength."

"The plot, special effects, and acting are all superb; this is what makes a truly great drama."

"Thank you to the production team for bringing us such a wonderful work, which gives us hope for Chinese dramas."

"The actors' brilliant performances brought each character to life, as if they were characters who had stepped out of the book."

"The plot is tight, full of twists and turns, and it's so captivating that you can't stop watching. Every detail is handled perfectly, and you can see the production team's dedication."

......

Xiao Qingfeng couldn't possibly waste all his energy arguing with Yu Xie, and besides, "Chinese Paladin" was currently gaining momentum, which could be considered a great start to his television career.

Therefore, Xiao Qingfeng has already begun planning to bring excellent fantasy dramas such as "The Journey of Flower" and "Eternal Love" to the screen.

As for the later hit dramas such as "Empresses in the Palace", "Nirvana in Fire", "The World", and "Prosperity", they can all be put on the agenda.

So Xiao Qingfeng went to Shanghai and discussed his ideas with Li Guonong. The next project to be adapted for the screen was tentatively titled "Three Lives Three Worlds".

After that, Xiao Qingfeng rushed to Chengdu without stopping, because the physical autograph session had already arrived in Chengdu.

Xiao Qingfeng's arrival immediately ignited the passion of fans in Chengdu.

When Xiao Qingfeng arrived at the book signing event in Chengdu, the place was already packed with people.

Fans held Xiao Qingfeng's posters and albums, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.

The venue was decorated in a warm and grand style, with colorful lights flashing and neat tables and chairs arranged on the stage, awaiting Xiao Qingfeng's arrival.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Xiao Qingfeng slowly walked onto the stage, escorted by security guards.

Dressed in simple yet stylish clothing, he smiled and waved to his fans. At that moment, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited, with screams and cheers erupting one after another.

After the autograph session began, fans lined up in an orderly fashion.

Some of them were so nervous that their palms were sweating, while others were so excited that their faces were flushed.

When it was their turn, the fans carefully handed Xiao Qingfeng the album or book, their eyes filled with reverence.

Xiao Qingfeng carefully signed autographs for each fan, and occasionally chatted with them, offering warm greetings and encouragement.

The entire book signing was filled with warmth and emotion.

During a break in the autograph session, an enthusiastic Chengdu fan suggested to Xiao Qingfeng, "Brother Qingfeng, the bar street in Chengdu is really unique. You could go there for a visit."

Xiao Qingfeng smiled and nodded, indicating that he gladly accepted the fans' suggestion.

He thanked his fans for their concern and recommendations, and expressed his anticipation to experience the unique charm of Chengdu's bar street.

After the book signing ended, Xiao Qingfeng and his assistant rushed to the Chengdu Tavern Street without delay.

As they stepped onto this vibrant street, they were immediately captivated by the scene before them.

The quaint taverns are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, with red lanterns hanging at the entrances, exuding a rich cultural atmosphere.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Xiao Qingfeng and his assistant strolled along the street lined with bars, experiencing the unique charm of Chengdu.

They went into a tavern and sampled the local specialties in wine and food.

The people in the tavern were pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Qingfeng, but they all politely refrained from disturbing him.

However, many fans filmed Xiao Qingfeng touring the bar street and posted the videos online, which immediately aroused the envy of countless netizens.

That evening, Xiao Qingfeng posted a message on his personal social media: "Chengdu is a city full of poetic charm, so I decided to write a song called 'Chengdu'."
