I Am A Prodigy Chapter 244
Advertisement
Little Ge would usually recommend movies for his readers according to genre. That day, however, he recommended only one movie, a special one that he reviewed with all his heart!
It was obvious how important Huo Yuanjia was to him.
[What should I say? In the beginning, I was like most of you, not holding much hope for Huo Yuanjia. It was, after all, Li Tai's first movie and they had no superstars in their cast. Even if it had Y's support, Y was not involved in the filming. Therefore, the anticipation for this movie was quite low.
Later on, Huo Yuanjia's ratings were at rock bottom compared to those that were screened at the same time. I've already planned not to watch it, but yesterday Y's "Those who humiliate China must be taken down no matter how far they may be" moved me to finally contribute my ticket.
In this movie, I saw myself. Everyone's growth is separated into phases. As for the final phase, that would be to fight for the country!
To avoid spoilers, I'll end it here. I highly recommend Huo Yuanjia! Recommendation score: Full marks + 1 star!]
Right after Little Ge posted his Weibo, it was immediately met with countless replies and likes.
[Sensei Little Ge had also watched Huo Yuanjia? I watched it too. It's really impactful!]
[Sensei Little Ge just spoke my mind. This movie is really good. You'll regret it if you don't watch it!]
[I'll leave it with this. Highly recommended!]
[Sensei Little Ge's summary is very succinct. Huo Yuanjia will show you China of the past to learn the Chinese spirit!]
[F*ck, everyone's saying the same thing. Do you think I don't want to watch Huo Yuanjia? I can't get the tickets!]
[Same as above. I just want to know why Huo Yuanjia's screening allocation is so low. This is just bullsh*t]

[On my end, tickets for the next three days are all sold out. What kind of rubbish cinema is this, allocating so much screen time for the trashy films?!]
…
Soon, that Weibo post made it to the hot search list. Everyone was trying to support Y. Now that they heard Huo Yuanjia was good, it made them eager to watch it.
However, almost all the cinemas had only allocated one or two screenings per day. That was a joke of a lifetime, causing the tickets to be almost unobtainable!
The tickets for the next half a month were all sold out. Moreover, there were public cries for increasing Huo Yuanjia's screening allocation.
Quite some people called 123** to make complaints to the consumer association.
"Hello, this is the consumer association. Can I help you?"
"I want to file a complaint about the cinema! I want to watch Huo Yuanjia, but the cinema is limiting its screen allocation. The movies they allocated are all trash. The lack of screenings is a mockery to the consumers!"
"That is the cinema's arrangement. You may choose to watch another movie in the meantime."
"I don't care. I want to watch Huo Yuanjia! This cinema is a scam! I want to complain!"
…
Nobody would have expected Huo Yuanjia to turn into such a hit in an instant.
In only one day, its ratings went from 7.8 to 8.8, and that was under the circumstances where the screening allocation was limited.
The heavens never let down good work.
A movie at the level of Huo Yuanjia only required an opportunity. Once that opportunity was there, then it would blow up in popularity!
Coincidentally, Ye Lingchen created that opportunity!
A lot of people were bored as they were unable to watch Hua Yuanjia. Without a choice, they moved their attention to I am Hero.

Very soon, another trend had started. However, it was of the opposite effect.
[F*ck! How can such a trashy movie be allowed this much screening allocation? The cinemas must be crazy!]
[Throughout the entire movie, it's filled with close-ups of Wu Han's face. Even him swallowing his saliva had a close-up. What kind of movie is this? It's more like a softcore p*rn!]
[This is an action film? You must be joking!]
[I'm curious. How did this movie get so much allocation? It's a humiliation to the entire movie industry!]
[Damn it, it's obviously Wu Han buying up the tickets and purposely spammed low ratings for Huo Yuanjia. Shameless!]
[The movie industry is ruined by gigolos like Wu Han!]
[No wonder there are no good movies and TV series of late. It's all because of these wusses. Furthermore, these wusses picked up the "Sick Man of East Asia" signboard. F*ck!]
[You know what, I broke up with my girlfriend while watching a debate on whether to support Wu Han or Y.]
[Above post, you're amazing! I support you!]
[That's a real man. Good job!]
…
Just as Ye Lingchen got off the plane and turned on his phone, it showed two missed calls.
It was from Li Tai.
Ye Lingchen immediately gave him a call.
"Young Master Ye, good news!" Li Tai's voice was filled with excitement. Ye Lingchen could even hear him swallowing. "The cinema has finally given us additional screening allocation! From five percent to 50 percent!"
Huo Yuanjia was the first movie he ever directed, hence he put a lot of effort into it. From start to finish, he treated it with care. When faced with such unfair treatment, Li Tai would naturally feel wronged. However, with the situation improving now, he felt elated.
"Hm? There's such a thing?" Ye Lingchen was surprised.
The cinema's screening allocation had strict regulations. A movie's screening allocation would only lower as time passed. For it to be boosted, the box office sales had to grow explosively and be in short supply!
"Young Master Ye, you didn't know? It was because of the video of Y and the Southeast Asian man's fight yesterday that a lot of people came to watch our Huo Yuanjia!" Li Tai exclaimed.
Ye Lingchen finally nodded as he came to a realization. He did not expect the video from the previous day to have such an impact on Huo Yuanjia. That was definitely a surprise.
"Furthermore, more people are watching the movie now and our reputation is growing. Soon, the ratings will reach 9! There will only be more and more people watching this movie!" Li Tai was as excitable as a child. He placed a lot of importance in this movie and finally saw the fruits of his labor.
Apart from him, the entire crew was also excited. Before that, they were all depressed, but in just one night, they made a surprising comeback. Be it Li Jing or Muhammad Ali, they were all in a celebratory mood.
"Motherf*cker, I knew it. I'm a boxing champion. How can I not be a match for that wuss?!" Ali said with a big grin on his face…

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.
