Chapter 284: Three-Foot Green Blade, None Can Block

After *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* began airing, it suddenly showed signs of a polar reversal.

It evolved from the whole nation watching for the spectacle to the whole nation waiting in anticipation.

As for many industry insiders, they remained in a wait-and-see state.

A good start is nothing special; the point is whether it can remain stable.

And today, those with the worst mood are undoubtedly the creative team of *Lost Sin* and the capital behind them.

*Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* premiered on Friday night, while *Lost Sin* is airing online today, Saturday night, on Pineapple TV.

This web drama has a huge investment; it is the self-made web drama with the largest initial investment amount on Pineapple TV to date.

The entire drama adopts a dual-male lead model; Song Ge, this water-goods Best Actor, is responsible for propping up the prestige, while the other male lead is responsible for supporting the traffic.

In recent years, dan-gai dramas have become a wealth code in the eyes of capital.

So-called boys' love adaptations are adaptations of boys' love novels.

*Lost Sin* was originally a popular boys' love web novel; Song Ge is responsible for playing the forensic doctor, and the other male lead is a private detective; the two are college roommates, and their relationship is naturally... that kind of relationship.

Hmm, "crispy duck" literature is very easy to understand; just look at the first letters of these three words.

It's just that web dramas mostly play on the edge, and there is definitely a tendency to sell "dan" (bromance), but it is not as stimulating or exaggerated as the original text.

These days, dan-gai dramas are not only prone to producing hits, but also prone to producing Top Traffic.

Pineapple's ambition is not just to produce the hottest web drama in history, but also to create two Top Traffic stars under its banner!

At first, neither Wang Shisong nor the entire team of *Lost Sin* took *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* seriously.

"Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan is just here for us to suck blood from," they unanimously believed.

Suck its traffic, suck its heat.

If its word-of-mouth and ratings both flop, it can even be used to issue press releases to step on it, relying on it to set off their own brilliance.

But no one expected that *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* would explode.

Whether it was word-of-mouth or ratings, it exploded!

On Penguin Video, 15,000 people have already given it a high score of 9.6.

Since it just aired, unless someone maliciously swiped a wave of low scores, the first-day rating is definitely falsely high.

But in reality, on Earth, more than 500,000 people on online platforms gave *Celestial Sword 5 1* a high score of 9.4, and it ranked fifth on the rating list of all Mainland dramas on that platform.

As for the first-day viewership, it also successfully broke 100 million, reaching 170 million!

This result made the people at Penguin Video extremely excited.

As for other video platforms, they were left stunned.

Everyone had originally assumed: "Penguin is using the strategy of Tian Ji horse racing this time."

At the beginning of the year, they sent out the inferior horse *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* to bet on the Shuji Dang, and when students go on vacation, they will send out a superior horse to compete with us.

But damn it, is this an inferior horse?

You call this an inferior horse?

Although *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* is still in a state of just beginning to show its edge, no one can say for sure whether it will become the annual hit.

The most speechless thing is that *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* is the first major drama of the year, and the new dramas of other platforms haven't even aired yet, but it was so anxious, so impatient, that it aired first.

The pressure has come to the other three major platforms.

This gives people the same feeling as when *Blue and White Porcelain* strongly slaughtered the charts on the first day of the New Year.

Very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.

And this young man is always this confident, so confident that you might even think he is arrogant, but the final results prove that he is not arrogant, just highly skilled and bold.

Clearly, Luo Mo has already struck his pose.

"My sword is already unsheathed."

"You lot may make your move."

The sky gradually darkened; on this Saturday night, *Lost Sin* is about to air.

The original fans of this drama were already waiting eagerly, longing for this web drama to restore the many plots in the book.

Song Ge waited at home for the broadcast; although the enemy is not as weak as we imagined, our *Lost Sin* is definitely not a soft persimmon; we are very strong!

The first two episodes of *Lost Sin* were uploaded on time on Pineapple TV; like *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan*, non-members watch two episodes first, and super VIPs can watch four episodes in advance.

When this drama reaches 20 episodes, the 【Member Early Access】 function will be opened.

The pricing is the industry standard price, 3 yuan per episode.

The whole drama has 36 episodes; if you buy the remaining 16 episodes in a bundle on the first day, you can also enjoy a 20% discount.

If the heat of this drama can reach expectations, this Member Early Access alone will be enough to make everyone earn a fortune.

The last hot dan-gai web drama made a full 100 million by relying on this function!

"It must meet my psychological expectations," Song Ge sipped red wine from a goblet and said in his heart: "I have paid so much for this drama, I cannot let all this go to waste!"

Making Song Ge and the other male lead give out "sugar," Song Ge felt the process was worse than death.

But he must endure it.

Am I, Song Ge, creating sugar?

I am creating my future!

In the opening credits of the first episode of *Lost Sin*, the barrage army set out in unison.

"Looking forward to it! Original fans are incredibly excited."

"Charge! *Lost Sin*, charge for me!"

"I hope they can film all the famous scenes."

Song Ge was watching the bullet comments at the beginning, and his mood was quite good.

It wasn't until half of the first episode had aired that his eyelid twitched involuntarily after he saw a bullet comment with over a hundred likes.

This bullet comment read: "Boring, going to watch *Sword Fairy*."

Song Ge's right eyelid began to twitch wildly, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye twitches for disaster." He downed the red wine in his goblet in one gulp, his state of mind somewhat affected.

In this regard, Luo Mo was different from him.

When his left eyelid twitched, Luo Mo would say: "Left eye twitches for wealth, nice, nice!"

When his right eyelid twitched, Luo Mo would say: "Screw your feudal superstition!"

Song Ge had only watched half an episode before he exited and checked the current ratings from the audience.

"Has the number of people rating it not even broken a thousand yet?" Song Ge was speechless.

Because the number of people rating it had not yet broken a thousand, the specific score was not yet displayed; it would only be announced after 24 hours.

"Where did all these people go? Did they all go to watch *Sword Fairy* first?"

He... guessed right.

Because the end of the sixth episode of *Sword Fairy* ended on a cliffhanger, the distinguished super VIPs of Penguin Video had long been famished and impatient.

The main villain, the Moon Worshipping Sect Leader, said he wanted to play a game of chess with the King of Nanzhao Kingdom, and the Actor playing the Moon Worshipping Sect Leader had good acting skills, full of oppressive force.

Most importantly, Zhao Ling'er had already transformed into her snake tail, and the audience was watching with heavy hearts!

Ding Xiaoyu's makeup in this drama was too ethereal, and everyone really pitied her too much.

Many viewers did want to take a look at *Mystery*, which was crazily trying to ride the coattails of *Sword Fairy*, but they had to wait for me to finish watching the updates of *Sword Fairy* first, and then come back to properly criticize it!

The data team at Pineapple TV had been keeping a close eye on the data for this self-produced blockbuster, *Mystery*.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the growth rate of *Mystery*'s data suddenly accelerated.

This strange fluctuation clearly meant that many people had chosen to watch the updated episodes of other dramas first, and only thought of watching *Mystery* after they were done.

It's just that... there seem to be quite a lot of trolls.

In the comment section, there were quite a few negative reviews.

"Did the screenwriter eat shit? What kind of crap is this adaptation!"

"Simple foul language, ultimate enjoyment. The person above cursed well!"

"What kind of dog-shit thing is this? I didn't even understand what was going on in the first episode. It's a mess, and the camera isn't stable, always shaking back and forth. To forcibly create a Suspense effect, it made me dizzy!"

"Zhao Ling'er, I Love You! Sorry, I went to the wrong set."

"Laughing to death, jumping back and forth between brotherhood and Romance, crazily skirting the edge."

"The acting of these two when they are forcibly manufacturing artificial sweetness in private is much better than in the drama. It seems they are better at acting in real life, heh."

*Mystery* currently has an opening day score of 9.3, which is not low, but not high either. But it is quite a bit lower than *Sword Fairy*.

It's just that they aren't airing on the same platform, so comparing them isn't really comparable; one has to wait until other rating platforms open their scores to make a comparison.

But looking at the view count, it wouldn't be hard to break 100 million for today's opening day views, but it definitely can't catch up to *Sword Fairy*'s terrifying 170 million!

As it stands, it is very likely to be completely crushed in every aspect!

The momentum of *Sword Fairy* as a hit has already taken shape!

Most importantly, it is blooming in every aspect.

Luo Mo deliberately kept them in suspense, only uploading "Kill Break Wolf" and "Finally Understand" on Penguin Music.

He wanted to save the other few insert songs from the drama for next Monday to make it easier to sweep the charts.

After the audience heard "Sigh of the Carefree", "Rain of June", and "Always Very Quiet" inside, they all had high demands and wanted to download them.

Music and television dramas can sometimes drive traffic to each other.

The most terrifying thing is that many short-video bloggers have expressed one after another that the pure music soundtracks in *Sword Fairy* are really too good to listen to.

Their creative intuition told them: "These pieces of music are very suitable for use as soundtracks for short videos!"

Therefore, they were all begging on their knees for these pure music soundtracks to be uploaded.

I have to say, this group of people has pretty good taste; on Earth, the usage rate of *Sword Fairy*'s soundtrack on TikTok was shockingly high!

And because the characters inside are all flesh and blood and very beloved by the audience, this makes the fan conversion rate for all the Actors very high.

There are some dramas that you love to watch, but you won't like the Actors inside because of the drama.

The unparalleled momentum in every field made the triumphant 【Strangers】 unable to help but shout a slogan for *Sword Fairy*:

"Three-foot green blade, no one can block it!"

The smear articles that Pineapple had prepared in advance could no longer be published. They could only pray in their hearts now that *Sword Fairy* wouldn't publish smear articles to step on them.

Luo Mo had no interest in this; he had always disliked this kind of promotional tactic of praising one while stepping on another.

Because you can never finish stepping on them all.

—There isn't a single one that can fight!

You cannot withstand this Sword Control Technique of mine.

*Mystery*, detective Suspense style.

*Sword Fairy*, costume Xianxia style.

You, a detective drama, what are you using to fight against us cultivators!?
