I Am A Prodigy Chapter 497
Advertisement
While the audience watched on happily, the expressions of those in Durian TV sank completely. Their complexions only got worse when they continued looking at it.
It had to be acknowledged that iPartment was an outstanding work, so much so that they felt like they took a pass on 100 million Yuan. A TV drama like that was initially supposed to belong to Durian TV, but they had rejected it.
The baldie who analyzed everything so eloquently was similarly stunned. His mouth opened several times but he could not speak at all.
It was too shocking. The second episode was completely different from what he expected. The number of punchlines did not diminish compared to the first episode and their abilities were not at all exhausted.
"Um... I'm guessing that these punchlines will last until the third episode at most. They'll definitely repeat them later." He was adamant about that last remark.
"Hehe." Chairman He forced out a smile. "Are you a fool or do you take me for a fool?"
As for the other television stations, they were also shocked by the quality of iPartment. Initially, they were skeptical of it, and none of them took iPartment seriously. It scarcely occurred to anyone that iPartment would become the biggest dark horse.
At that moment, the feeling of regret had begun surfacing in their hearts. How arrogant were they that they would completely underestimate Y?
At the set of iPartment.
The time was fast approaching 10 o'clock but the lights were still bright. None of them thought of leaving, but were instead quite excited and brimming with energy.
"Why are you all standing? Sit down," Ye Lingchen said.
"Young Master Ye, our word of mouth has exploded! Now the whole network is discussing iPartment!"
"I, Chen Chichi, never thought that I'd have this day. I'm on fire! I'm freaking on fire! Mom and Dad, do you see me on TV? Sob sob..."

"I was caught off guard. Even though I was ready to be on fire a long time ago, I still panicked when the time came. What should I do?"
"Oh mama, the whole internet is talking about us. Some people are even saying that they love Hu Yifei! I have fans now!"
"If this is the case, the ratings certainly won't be low." Although Xiao Feifei was also happy, she cared more about the data.
"With the audience advertising us for free, this wave of viewers won't be a small number. Even if the ratings do not reach number one, it should at least be zero-point-nine," Li Tai analyzed.
"It won't be any worse than For My Love."
"Not necessarily. After all, our base is still a little weaker. Many people still prioritize other TV shows, but the situation should improve sometime later."
There were a lot of discussions and the huge burden in their hearts had been set down. In any case, the most important aspect was that the audience liked it.
"Okay, don't fret anymore. I've prepared a celebration toast for all of you. Don't leave yet guys, have a drink first!" Ye Lingchen had obviously prepared everything in advance and silently took out a crate of beer.
"Wow, beer! I like it. "
"Hahaha, Young Master Ye, I love you to death! A celebration toast is a must!"
"Hey, this beer is high-end beer. It's so kind of you, Young Master Ye. "
Li Tai took the lead in raising his beer. "I suggest that everyone raise a toast to Young Master Ye! "
Hu Yifei and the others all got up one after another. Even the girls who did not drink poured themselves some alcohol just for the gesture and toasted together. "To Young Master Ye!"
Ye Lingchen did not refuse. He smiled and drank with everyone.
Then he said, "Next, I'll raise a toast to everyone. Thank you! Thank you for trusting me. All these days, you've given all your rest time and even a portion of your sleeping time to me and our TV series. Everyone made the conscious decision to work overtime. Some of our friends even came over while they were sick. I took note of everything and I know that's how you show me your respect. I salute you!"

"Young Master Ye, you're too polite!"
"Young Master Ye, we should thank you for giving us this opportunity."
"Young Master Ye, we have learned a lot by following you."
"We respect you! We'll do it!"
Everyone hurriedly said.
Everyone's politeness was due to the alcohol.
Countless topics were opened up with the presence of alcohol and everyone chatted for a while.
"F*ck me, I didn't even notice that this episode is over."
"Really, look! We're already the number one search on Weibo!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Another toast must be made!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Next, everyone took turns to toast Ye Lingchen. Their admiration for him came directly from the heart.
At that time, iPartment entered the final credits. Everyone pointed out their names in the final credits and laughed.
Ring-ding-ding!
At that moment, Xiao Feifei's cell phone rang.
She glanced at Ye Lingchen before going out to answer the phone.
About five minutes later, Xiao Feifei walked back with a smile on her face. "Time for some good news. Five online video sites have already contacted us. Tencent Video, iQi Video, and Youku Video want it exclusively for them. The bid is to compete for the online holiday broadcast rights of iPartment!"
Apart from the premiere of iPartment on Banana TV, all other rights were in the hands of Xiao Feifei. That was the advantage of setting up one's own company; the benefits derived were just too great.
"At the same time, many advertisers have also contacted the television station in hopes of inserting some ads. We're allowed to name our price." Ye Lingchen looked at Xiao Feifei before smiling and saying, "Those that scoffed at advertising on our TV series are now probably green with regret."
"Hahaha, they deserve it! Who told them to look down on our iPartment."
"By the way, CEO Xiao, you just said that the three major video sites are bidding against each other. What are the results now?" someone asked curiously.
Xiao Feifei blinked and said with a smile, "Let's guess together. "
Chen Chichi touched his chin and guessed, "Uh... twenty million?"
The price was quite reasonable since the network license fee for For My Love was likely not higher than 20 million.
Lu Xiaobu clapped his hands. "You're not bold enough. My guess is thirty million!"
Chen Meijia looked at Xiao Feifei's face and could not help but say, "It's not forty million, is it?"
"Nope."
Xiao Feifei hugged Ye Lingchen excitedly. " Tencent Video has offered a price of fifty million, as long as they have the exclusive right to broadcast on the internet!"
"F*CK?!"
"Fifty million?!"
"Their pockets are too deep? Tencent Video is nuts."
"I'm not dreaming, am I? "
Even though everyone was very confident in iPartment, they were still shocked when they heard the price.
That was definitely a sky-high price!
It was quite funny when one thought about it. Previously, no video site was optimistic about iPartment's exclusive license, but it suddenly reached an unexpectedly sky-high price of 50 million.
"Lingchen, are you going to sell it?" Xiao Feifei asked.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ye Lingchen smiled and said, "Absolutely not!
"Since it has reached this point, we might as well just wait..."
