Chapter 502 Come On, Come On, Come On, Let’s Continue Drinking!
After the ratings came out at noon, Xiao Feifei’s phone did not stop ringing until 2pm.
Many people congratulated her, but in fact, many more were trying to curry favor with her.
Such was the case in the entertainment industry. It was easy to become famous overnight and be a person coveted by many.
Of course, the director of Banana TV also personally called her and spoke very sincerely. He was extremely grateful that iPartment could be shown on his channel.
The audience, industry insiders, and major media companies were all revolving around the topic of iPartment.
It was an intense discussion that was thoroughly unparalleled!
Their popularity was soaring!
The top search in Weibo, Tieba, Toutiao, and various other media was iPartment!
The online discussions were also about iPartment!
As for TikTok, iPartment’s lines were ubiquitous there and everyone rushed to imitate it, turning it into an internet phenomenon.
Some television series stood at the zenith of the industry as soon as they were born!
iPartment embodied the essence of that sentence!
The measure of quality for a television series required the consideration of various aspects, but there was one factor that could play the most decisive role—the ratings!
iPartment did not need to prove anything. Regardless of who was uncomfortable with iPartment, it was impossible to deny the fact that iPartment was at the peak, regardless of whether the industry liked it or not!
The crux of it was that it was just the premiere!
There was no doubt that ratings would definitely exceed 2.03% in the future. Even if the quality is poor, it would still exceed 2.03% at its peak!
If the quality could still be maintained, a breakthrough of 2.5% or even 3% was possible!
What kind of logic enabled it to set a new high in five years?!
Absolutely terrific! Utterly stunning!
Netizens wanted nothing more than to create chaos and began bombarding.
[Actor Y is too awesome! He’s indeed my idol!]
[Who else in the entertainment circle can stop Actor Y’s pace? He’s definitely Y, without a doubt!]
[Yeah, his acting is number one, his filming is number one, and his TV drama is number one! In short, he can beat everyone!]
[How ridiculous. Where are those in the industry who questioned him? None of them emerged at all!]
[Who would dare to show themselves? They’ve been given such a tight slap that their face is bruised!]
[2.03% rating! Will it stop at just a little bruising? Your mother’s face is swollen, right? She’s been beaten terribly and is now vomiting blood!]
[I still can’t believe this rating! It’s terrifying, how could it be so high!]
[In short, it’s insane!]
...
Ye Lingchen read the intense discussion on the internet and felt similarly excited in his heart. All of that was popularity!
He had no idea how much popularity iPartment would bring to him and he was incredibly excited about it.
In the evening, the crew of iPartment had another dinner together, and it was a luxurious one too. Everyone had a great time drinking and were enjoying themselves thoroughly.
However, that occasion was different from the previous one. The previous one was Ye Lingchen’s treat, but on that night, it was everyone else who treated Ye Lingchen.
After all, it was Ye Lingchen who gave them the chance to become famous. iPartment was the one television series that produced famous stars from a group of boys who had just walked out of school. One could say that they became famous overnight.
A brief interlude happened in the middle of their meal.
Everyone was eagerly excited and gave Ye Lingchen a toast.
“Young Master Ye, I, Li Tai, have never admired anyone before in my career. Be it in the present or the future, I will always respect you and I raise this toast to you! Bottoms up, my good brother!”
He drank it all in one breath after ending his sentence!
Ye Lingchen downed it all too.
Everyone’s eyes lit up and Chen Chichi walked over with a smile on his face, “Young Master Ye, I, Chen Chichi, won’t say more. Everything I want to say is channeled to this glass, let’s go!”
The two drank again!
“Young Master Ye, count Lu Xiaobu in! Watch me drink this cup!”
“Young Master Ye, I’m really lucky to be able to do all these under your hands. A toast! Drink as you please!”
“Young Master Ye...”
One by one, each of the big guys took turns raising their glass to Ye Lingchen.
After one round, Li Tai continued it again.
“Young Master Ye, I forgot to thank you for thinking highly of me. Cheers!
“Young Master Ye, I, Li Jing, could only escape from the sea of suffering because of you. One cup is not enough. Let me toast one bottle!”
“Young Master Ye, when in Rome, do as the Romans do! I, Ali, am still waiting for you to rope me into a new movie! It’s bottoms up for me too!”
...
Ye Lingchen did not reject them. The rest of them had drinks in their hands and he had one in his hand too. Deep down, he felt that everything was a little funny.
“Lingchen, you’ve drunk enough. You can’t drink anymore.” Xiao Feifei could not help but feel worried.
“No problem! Let’s enjoy today!”
“Young Master Ye has a high alcohol tolerance!” Everyone cheered with excited expressions on their faces. They continued to follow up with the drinks and made a toast, one after another.
It was definitely a good day to get Ye Lingchen drunk!
“Hey, you guys. You keep saying that you want to thank Young Master Ye, but this isn’t a good way to raise him a toast!” Lin Wanyu could not help but remark after finding it quite unsightly.
“We men never admit defeat, especially when it comes to drinking. Don’t you agree, Young Master Ye?” Chen Chichi smiled immediately.
“Yes, mm, that’s right... Chichi is right!”
Ye Lingchen’s eyes were a little blurry, and his reply was slurred.
Was he getting...drunk?
Everyone’s eyes lit up. One after another, their lips began curling in a sly smile.
“Young Master Ye is a real man!” Lu Xiaobu said immediately. “Come on, let’s have another drink!”
“Ahh, I can’t anymore...” Ye Lingchen waved his hand.
“Young Master Ye, men can’t say no! I raise this glass to you!” Li Jing said again.
“Okay, this will be the last.”
“Young Master Ye, don’t, I want to toast to you!” Ali said quickly and downed the glass before Ye Lingchen could speak.
“Hic! I can’t take it anymore.” Ye Lingchen downed a glass with great effort before continuing.
“Young Master Ye, come! I’ll pour some more wine for you!”
...
Everyone continued drinking one after another, but they soon realized a problem—although Ye Lingchen said that he could not take it anymore and his appearance was drunken and slurred, he just could not get drunk!
On the contrary, they had already begun to feel top-heavy and their faces were all flushed.
Damn, the situation was getting more difficult! What was going on?
“No, I can’t drink anymore!” Ye Lingchen put down his wine glass and looked as though he could collapse at any time.
Young Master Ye was going to collapse soon, and if they were persistent enough to raise him a toast, he might finally fall with the next cup!
Everyone looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and continued to toast!
After another round, everyone’s hearts were cold again, and some of them began to admit defeat.
“Come on, let’s continue drinking! I’m not drunk yet! I’m very sober!” Ye Lingchen picked up the wine glass and continued ambitiously.
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat. Such behavior was exhibited usually by people who were very drunk.
Damn it, let’s continue!
After another round.
“Come, come, let’s go on,” Ye Lingchen said again.
“I can’t. I can’t anymore...” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand weakly and he was already splayed across the table.
“Barf—” Chen Chichi covered his mouth immediately and rushed to the bathroom.
As for the dignified director Li Tai, he shrank in a corner and hugged a chair in his arms while groaning.
Li Jing and Ali were the craziest. The two of them actually started dancing around. They were both big men, yet they were already starting to dance.
Except for Ye Lingchen, all the men from the cast and crew were drunk. The alcohol had gotten into their heads and their faces were all red. There were those who vomited and those who spoke nonsense. Everyone looked very different after getting drunk and it made for a hilarious scene.
“Damn! Young Master Ye, you’re so awesome. You tricked us into drinking with you. I’ll never drink with you again...” Chen Chichi muttered drunkenly while hugging the toilet bowl. He then started crying...
