Everyone was on Zhejiang Television, waiting for the premiere of the television series.
Although it was airing at eight o’clock, there would always be a slight delay because of advertisements.
Liu Xian from Huace Pictures was also paying attention to the head-on battle between the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 and Chinese Paladin.
Of course, Chinese Paladin had a huge advantage.
The traffic and popularity brought by it airing on ten television stations was also something that Jiaxing Entertainment’s The Legend of Sword and Fairy could not compare to.
“CEO Liu, what do you think about the fact that the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 is broadcasting together with Chinese Paladin now?” the assistant asked curiously.
Liu Xian only smiled. “I recognize Lin Fan’s directing ability. He’s indeed quite good at directing. That’s why he was able to make two television dramas become popular in a row.”
“However, Xianxia dramas are different from ordinary dramas. Lin Fan’s The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 has already become popular. Unfortunately, the final outcome is a tragedy, so The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 is most likely a tragedy as well. I’m still not too optimistic about the tragedy market.”
“The audience has already been tricked once. Will they be tricked a second time? Forget about this question. Releasing The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 directly after The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 will also make the audience’s aesthetic sense tired. Let’s see how Lin Fan does this time.”
“If the quality of Lin Fan’s television drama is very good, he might even be able to fight Chinese Paladin. If the effect of Lin Fan’s drama isn’t good, then it’s impossible for Lin Fan to beat us again this time.” Liu Xian smiled.
“In other words, if The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 can still become popular this time and crush us, I’ll directly livestream myself eating sh*t!” Liu Xian smiled.
His assessment of Lin Fan was pertinent.
However, the entertainment industry was complicated.
It would not be so easy to surpass the television series that Huace Pictures had built with all its might.
There was only one television station with the viewership ratings for the premiere of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3. It was still unknown if it could surpass the 3.84% ratings for the premiere of Chinese Paladin.
After saying this, Liu Xian shook his head. “Lin Kexin, if you were willing to be my girlfriend back then, you would definitely be able to become a superstar now. However, you gave up this opportunity.”
“After going to Lin Fan’s Jiaxing Entertainment, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for you to stand out in the future…”
“A new entertainment company. Even if I don’t target it, someone else will.”
“This is the entertainment industry. This is reality.”
….
Lin Fan also had a lot of fans. Many fans liked the first season of the Legend of Sword and Fairy.
These fans were also waiting for the television series to start.
At 8.03 p.m, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 finally aired.
The audience everywhere turned on Zhejiang Television and watched the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 expectantly.
There were also many people who opened the live broadcast of Zhejiang Television online and watched the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.
“Ahhh, it’s finally time for the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 to air.”
“The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 made me so sad that I cried. I hope The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 won’t make me cry. I hope Lin Fan won’t create any more tragedies.”
“Looking forward to it…”
“D*mn, the theme song is still so good. The theme song for every TV series directed by and starring Lin Fan is very good!”
“I saw Xia Wanqiu. Xia Wanqiu is too beautiful. She looks so ethereal and innocent. She’s clearly a great beauty!! Xia Wanqiu’s ancient costume is still so beautiful.”
“I saw Su Xiaoyu. D*mn, how can our Xiaoyu look so good?”
“Lin Fan is also very handsome, and so is Xu Yang!”
“What… what… what kind of special effects production is this? It’s even better than the special effects production of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. Oh my god, such scene production and special effects. I’m shocked!!”
“Compared to the slipshod special effects of other television dramas, the special effects of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 are all burning funds.”
“I heard that The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 had an investment of 600 million yuan. Lin Fan spent 600 million yuan to produce this television drama and used the best special effects.”
The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 had also aired three full episodes.
In the first episode, the male lead, Lin Fan, and the female lead, Xia Wanqiu, had already appeared.
Xia Wanqiu’s liveliness and cuteness were vividly portrayed.
The audience saw Xia Wanqiu’s acting skills again.
At the same time, the audience saw Lin Fan’s acting skills.
Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu were in the same frame again.
In the second episode, the handsome Xu Yang appeared.
The plot of the entire television drama began.
After the three episodes were broadcasted, no one expected that its popularity on the Internet… would directly rush to the top of Weibo’s trending searches!
The Internet was full of good reviews, almost none of the reviews were bad.
The popularity of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 on Weibo had already exceeded five million!
As for the second-ranked Chinese Paladin, its popularity was only two million.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 had only premiered today, but it had already set such a record.
Chinese Paladin was already airing for the second day. Its popularity was actually not as high as that of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.
The online audience looked amazed.
There were also a lot of viewers asking for updates.
“The third season of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, the television series directed by Lin Fan, is beyond my imagination. The details, plot, special effects, and characters of this television series are all perfect!”
“There’s no other television series that has portrayed their details as well as The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3. As expected of a television series that has a 600-million-yuan investment. Finally, I have to say, please update!”
“Lin Fan is really handsome. Also, Xia Wanqiu is super sweet. The two of them are clearly lovers, and their acting skills are so good in television drama. Just seeing the two of them, I’m definitely going to follow this television drama!”
“I’m not bragging. The special effects and graphics of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 completely surpassed Chinese Paladin. Even the plot perfectly crushed Chinese Paladin.”
“This is the real Xianxia drama in the country. This is the peak of Xianxia dramas!”
“Lin Fan’s the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 created the precedent of Xianxia dramas. The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 even allowed this Xianxia drama to reach its peak!”
“I’m going to follow this TV show too, for no other reason than it’s so good!”
At the same time, the viewership ratings for the premiere of the television series were released.
The viewership ratings for the premiere of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 were as high as 4.84%!
It was one percent higher than the 3.84% of Chinese Paladin!
When the people of Jiaxing Entertainment saw the news, they couldn’t help but stand up.
Xia Wanqiu’s eyes turned red.
All the big stars of Jiaxing Entertainment were also cheering.
Xu Yang raised both fists and cheered.
Who would have thought,
that under so many adverse conditions,
the third season of the Legend of Sword and Fairy would still become popular!
This time… it was really popular!
The data this time was even better than the data of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1!
Breaking all previous historical records!
Moreover, the Immortal Sword 3 had completely crushed the Immortal Sword Legend!!!
