Zhao Liangying also looked at Ye Lingchen and asked, "Lingchen, what are your expectations?"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Ye Lingchen felt helpless. He pondered for a moment and said, "I think it'll definitely be higher than For My Love's ratings."
Ye Lingchen was not a vengeful person. Although For My Love pushed iPartment down, Ye Lingchen did not hold a grudge against it. The reason why he remembered the name was because he felt that it was easy to remember. Uh … that was the truth.
"I think so too!" Li Tai immediately nodded. "Durian TV gave up on us for For My Love. They'll definitely regret it this time!"
"That's right. We'll beat all the TV series in the same period and dominate the New Year's Theater!"
"Dominate the New Year's Theater!"
…
If many people were not optimistic about iPartment before, then everyone's attitude had a 180-degree turn at that moment. They did not think that iPartment was a niche TV series. Once a lifestyle comedy was produced with its own characteristics, it would definitely be popular among the young and old! Moreover, it would be very popular!
In addition, with Ye Lingchen's participation in the later stages, the standard of all aspects was infinitely improved. Everyone's confidence in iPartment swelled infinitely. That TV series was really too good. That was why they wanted Ye Lingchen to give his expectations.
Ye Lingchen was naturally confident in his own show. However, he did not have a different standard for ratings, so he could not speak carelessly. However, he was certain that it would surpass the TV series in the same period.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they went to Grand Capital Hotel. The celebration banquet was very sumptuous. Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei also exchanged pleasantries like "everyone worked hard" with everyone. They ate all the way until 11 o 'clock before it ended.
For the remaining three days, Xiao Feifei was busy promoting iPartment, appearing on various posters, Weibo trending searches, and so on. Chen Chichi and the others also began to show up and participate in some public activities. They exposed themselves in front of everyone to get familiar with them and ask for support.
Ye Lingchen did not participate too much in those matters. He merely used Actor Y's Weibo to post a status asking for support. Although publicity was necessary, more often than not, it was still up to the works to speak for themselves.
During the filming period, Ye Lingchen was the one who did the most work. He handled multiple departments by himself and occasionally had to teach them step by step. The staff could change shifts and rest when they were tired, but Ye Lingchen was only one!
He was the one who slept the least.
Even so, he was still full of energy. With his strong physique and the foundation of Qi Refinement, he would be fine even if he didn't sleep for a few days.
However, he was clearly not a workaholic. When it was time to relax, he still needed to relax.
Bored to death, he laid on his bed and began to count his recent gains.
During the filming period, the luxury bags had been distributed to various countries. The funds were also in place. 800 bags were worth 32 million, and 400 sets were also worth 32 million. After splitting it 50/50, Ye Lingchen received 32 million.
In addition to Ye Lingchen's current funds, he had 1.1 billion RMB.
This was definitely an astronomical figure. One had to know that this was not an asset. This was pure RMB, lying quietly in his account!
Not to mention 1.1 billion, even if it was only 100 million, he could get at least 5 million a year in the bank. He wouldn't have to do anything and wouldn't be able to spend it even if he ate, drank, and played every day!
Ye Lingchen counted the zeros several times. In that instant, he felt that … his life was complete.
'Unfortunately, this prodigy isn't such a shallow person. Don't even think of tainting my pure heart with mere money.'
As for his popularity points, he was left with 2.3 million after the lucky draw. However, after the incident at the comic convention and the release of the luxury goods, his popularity points had increased to 2.45 million.
After some thought, Ye Lingchen resisted the urge to do the lucky draw.
It was better to accumulate 10 million popularity points as soon as possible to upgrade his skills to the advanced level. Only then would he have better self-protection abilities.
Now that he was getting more and more famous, even though his strength was already very high, it was better to be as safe as possible. His current intermediate skills were Parkour (Intermediate), Eight Extremities Brute Training (Intermediate), Animal Taming (Intermediate), and Arhat's Fist Force (Intermediate).
Among these four, if he were to upgrade Eight Extremities Brute Training to the advanced level, his physique would definitely reach a shocking level. By then, guns and cannons would be nothing to be afraid of.
With only four intermediate skills, his chances of winning would also be higher.

December 31st.
At night.
It was almost 8 o 'clock.
Everyone had already gotten off work and returned home. They were comfortably planning their New Year's Day plans. A few small holidays a year was indeed something to look forward to.
At the same time, major TV shows were also aiming for that period. All kinds of primetime shows were screened at that time.
As iPartment's broadcast date approached, there were more and more discussions in the outside world and online about the upcoming TV shows on New Year's Day.
The major TV channels were obviously prepared. Among the many voices, there were two TV shows that they were most optimistic about. One was For My Love, a youth idol romance drama co-starring a popular A-list actress and an A-list fresh meat. The other was Palace, a palace drama in ancient times. It was also co-starring a popular A-list actor and an actress, with a strong cast.
Even the shows on other TV channels had their own highlights. In comparison, iPartment was much more lackluster.
Although Xiao Feifei was also a celebrity, she was not an actress. As a new entertainment company, coupled with the fact that the cast was made up of newcomers, there were naturally fewer highlights.
The tone of the discussions on the internet was also very similar. Judging from the TV series voting data on Weibo, the public's expectations for iPartment were very low. They were basically quite pessimistic.
Only 29% of people were optimistic about it, while 71% were pessimistic.
It was the one with the lowest expectations among all the TV shows.
…
On the subway on Line 3.
In one of the carriages, the subway was no longer as crowded as it was during rush hour. Several people were sitting together and chatting.
"I've finally settled all the overtime stuff. I can finally enjoy a good New Year's Day."
"Yeah, there are quite a few TV shows screening tonight. I'm a little looking forward to it."
"Oh my, I would've forgotten if you didn't mention it. For My Love is about to start broadcasting. My goddess is in it. "
"F * ck, it starts in less than a quarter of an hour. Luckily, I can make it in time."
"I want to watch Palace. I love palace dramas the most. They're much more interesting than idol dramas."
"Don't any of you want to watch iPartment?"
