Chapter 189 Yu Xie collapsed

Xiao Qingfeng's song made an entire city famous and even received praise from official media. As a result, Yu Xie, who had some conflicts with Xiao Qingfeng recently, was once again criticized by netizens.

The popularity of the song "Chengdu" continues to rise. While netizens are discussing the beauty of Chengdu, they are also comparing Xiao Qingfeng with other artists, with Yu Xie becoming a prominent point of comparison.

"Look at Xiao Qingfeng, what a huge change he's brought to Chengdu! His song 'Chengdu' not only allowed us to appreciate the city's gentleness and poetic charm, but also boosted the local economy. Tourist numbers have skyrocketed, and businesses are making a fortune—all thanks to Xiao Qingfeng. And look at that Yu Xie, all he does is spout nonsense online, creating a frenzy of hype. He has absolutely no positive energy; he's practically a garbage-producing machine!" one netizen wrote indignantly on social media.

"Xiao Qingfeng, with his talent and passion, has written the most beautiful ode to Chengdu. He has shown us the true value of an artist, which is to bring beauty and positive influence to society. As for Yu Xie? What can he do besides creating some boring topics?" another netizen chimed in.

As such comparisons become more frequent, Xiao Qingfeng's status in people's hearts grows ever higher.

His physical autograph sessions are always packed, with fans coming from all over the country just to experience up close the singer who brought glory to Chengdu.

At the book signing event, Xiao Qingfeng always humbly thanked everyone for their love for him and "Chengdu". He said he would continue to work hard to bring more excellent works to everyone.

At this moment, Yu Xie found himself in an awkward situation amidst criticism from netizens.

On the streets of Chengdu, tourists still flocked to the city, admiring its beautiful scenery while humming the melody of "Chengdu".

At the end of Yulin Road, in front of the small bar, remains the most popular spot for taking photos.

Merchants are also busy seizing the business opportunities brought by Xiao Qingfeng, launching more special products and services related to "Chengdu" to enrich the experience for tourists.

In Chengdu's pub street, every pub plays Xiao Qingfeng's "Chengdu" on a loop 24 hours a day, resulting in a threefold increase in customer traffic and a corresponding rise in revenue.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy has now aired its twelfth episode. Instead of the ratings collapse that Yu Xie wanted, the ratings have continued to rise, with the average rating exceeding 7.1%.

Such a result can be said to be the best of TV dramas in recent years. If there are no unexpected events, it can basically be locked in as the king of fantasy dramas this year, and may even be the king of all genres.

Less than a week after its premiere, the show has already garnered over one billion views across the internet, ranking tenth on the list of most-watched Chinese TV dramas.

An authoritative organization has made an authoritative prediction that the number of views for "Chinese Paladin" may exceed 4.5 billion by the time the TV series ends.

Moreover, it may even break the previous record of 4.9 billion views for director Kong Shen's "Disguise List" and become the most-watched Chinese TV series in history.

Yu Xie has been very depressed lately, living in agony almost every day. Every day, the first thing he does when he opens his eyes is to have his assistant sort out the playback data of "Chinese Paladin". Every time he watches it, his liver hurts.

He thought that the ratings would definitely decline as more episodes were aired, but they actually got higher and higher, and he couldn't help but watch them every day.

Of course, he originally just wanted to find illogical loopholes or flaws in the series, but after watching these episodes, he found himself unable to stop watching.

This put him in a dilemma; how could he be so engrossed in watching his co-star's performance?

This is totally illogical! Do I have masochistic tendencies?

Yu Xie once began to doubt himself and was on the verge of collapse.

At this very moment, a well-known director also spoke out online, which became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy is so good, I can't stop watching! I hope the platform will allow early access!"

This Weibo post caused a sensation across the internet!

Not for any other reason than because this person's name is "Kong Shen".

Kong Shen is a legendary figure in the television drama industry. With his unique artistic perspective and superb directing skills, he has left a significant mark on the field of television drama.

Over the years, he has directed many classic works, ranging from historical dramas to modern urban dramas, from suspenseful detective dramas to fantasy dramas, covering a wide range of themes and styles.

His works are known for their excellent production, tight plots, and well-developed characters.

The TV series "Disguise" was once a phenomenon, sparking a craze for watching the show not only in China but also in many countries and regions overseas, garnering high praise.

The success of this drama established Kong Shen's status as a top director in the television drama industry. He has also become a sought-after collaborator for many actors and a guarantee of quality in the eyes of the audience.

When Kong Shen expressed, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy is so good, I can't stop watching. I hope the platform will allow early access!"

After this Weibo post was published, the entire internet instantly went wild, and netizens were in an uproar.

"My goodness, even Director Kong Shen praised it! How good must 'Chinese Paladin' be!"

"Director Kong Shen is known for his strictness. If he praises this show so highly, it must have something special about it."

"I didn't expect even Director Kong to be captivated by 'Chinese Paladin.' Looks like I need to hurry up and start watching the show."

Some netizens began to compare director Kong Shen's works with "Chinese Paladin": "Director Kong's 'Disguise' is already a classic among classics. Now he actually gives such a high evaluation to 'Chinese Paladin'. This drama must be extraordinary."

"I feel that 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' has the potential to become the next legendary work like 'The Disguiser'."

Some netizens focused their attention on Yu Xie:

"Haha, Yu Xie is really embarrassed now. Even Director Kong Shen is praising 'Chinese Paladin'. His previous remarks are a complete slap in the face."

"Yu Xie must be kicking himself now. He never expected 'Chinese Paladin' to be so popular."

For fans of "Chinese Paladin", director Kong Shen's praise is undoubtedly a shot in the arm, and even gives them a sense of pride.

"I'm so happy to see that Director Kong also likes 'Chinese Paladin'! Our drama is the best!"

"With Director Kong's approval, 'Chinese Paladin' will definitely be even more popular. Looking forward to the later episodes."

Online, the topic of "Chinese Paladin" and director Kong Shen continues to gain popularity, becoming a hot topic of discussion on major social media platforms and entertainment forums.

Thanks to director Kong Shen's statement, the drama has attracted more attention from viewers, and its ratings and viewership are expected to reach new highs.

At this moment, Yu Xie felt utterly hopeless. He knew that he was now inevitably nailed to the pillar of shame, and that all of this stemmed from his attempt to ride the wave of popularity.

Yu Xie, filled with deep regret, slapped himself three times.

Just then, Yu Xie's assistant was standing at the door of Yu Xie's office with a coffee in hand, and then came the sounds of "slap!" "slap!" "slap!" from inside the door.

The female assistant blushed immediately: "Isn't it rumored online that the boss is gay? How could he be doing that kind of thing in the office?"
