Bandits of the Marsh Relaunch

  (Collection sought, recommendation sought, reward sought, new book difficult period, hoping for everyone's support!)

  Although the TV series of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has ended, the storm it stirred up is still far from subsiding.

  In a conversation between Ye Su-mang and Liu Yi-fei, the girl asked him a question.

  "Ye Zi Ge, if you were carefree, would you choose Ling Er or Yue Ru?"

  Ye Su Mang was delighted upon hearing this, as this topic is currently the most popular one online. The fans of Liu Yi Fei and An Yi Xuan have even formed their own respective "Ling Er Party" and "Ruo Yu Party", with only one topic between the two fan groups - who is the true destined heroine for Xiao Yao, Ling Er or Ruo Yu?

  For this, both sides can be said to have quarreled into a mess online, with all sorts of reasons emerging one after another. Ye Sumang also found it interesting and read quite a few posts about this aspect.

  "The moon is like." Yexu Mang thought for a moment and replied.

  "Why? Didn't I play Ling'er well?" Liu Yifei pouted discontentedly upon hearing Ye Sumang's answer.

  She didn't expect that her most trusted brother Ye Zi would choose the "enemy", and she had also secretly worn a cloak for Ling Er, cheering and shouting for a while.

  "Of course not, you acted as Ling'er very well, and I said it was Ling'er, not you." Ye Su Mang replied with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  This girl made a question and let herself choose, as a result, Ye Sumang chose an answer, this girl was dissatisfied again, really making Ye Sumang not know what to say.

  "So why did you choose Yue Ru?" the girl asked curiously.

  "It's not about choosing a romantic love, but just choosing an ordinary and simple love." Ye Sumang hesitated for a moment before speaking out the answer in his heart: "If I were to have a girlfriend, I wouldn't hope for a passionate and dramatic love, just an ordinary happy one would be fine."

  "Well, I understand..." Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she responded with a tone of sudden realization.

  "What do you know?" Ye Sumang was somewhat bewildered.

  "It's fine if you understand, but you don't need to know. I'll hang up first, I have a shoot soon." The girl hastily hung up the phone, leaving Ye Sumang with a cloud of fog.

  And there are many more topics of debate online, and some 'careful' viewers will also pick out certain plot holes in TV shows, Ye Sumang only discovered these issues after reading the posts.

  For these boring netizens, Ye Sumang really had some admiration in her heart. How meticulous did one have to be to find the flawed scenes in those fleeting shots?

  However, with praise comes criticism. Although the TV series has attracted extremely high popularity, some self-proclaimed "die-hard" fans of the original game have come out to criticize the show.

  Because TV dramas have to involve adaptations, Ye Sumang tried his best to respect the original work, but there were still many changes, and these changes became the attack points for this group of people to criticize the TV drama.

  It seems that they can't tolerate any adaptation of the game by the director, from Anu and Tang Yixin's romance to the beginning where Li Daxiang hits Xianyao's head with a feather duster instead of a frying pan. They find fault one by one and then mock the TV series in a sarcastic tone.

  As for these comments, Ye Xiu basically just skimmed through them. He wasn't afraid of being criticized, but rather he was worried that no one would criticize him. Without any controversy, there wouldn't be any topics to discuss. The intense online arguments were the reason why the popularity of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was so hot.

  Take a look at the search engine rankings, from popular TV dramas to male and female actors, to popular topics, almost all of the top five positions are occupied by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is also why its ratings have been soaring. Everything is due to this super strong attention.

  The average ratings of The Legend of Sword and Fairy's final episode broke through once again, reaching 4.11.

  When they got this viewing data, the media was shocked and numb again, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble deeply. Breaking 4, this is simply a mythical data in today's Chinese TV circle.

  "Crazy June, Xian Jian's June!"

  The next morning, Jing Hua Entertainment News, the country's largest entertainment newspaper, ran a headline that grabbed everyone's attention, recounting their shocking experience over the past month.

  "When we first heard that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" had started filming, we thought it was just a youth idol drama with a fantasy exterior. But after watching it for a month, we have to admit that it's worthy of being called a classic. Its ratings also made it firmly occupy the top spot in TV drama ratings for the first half of the year. I think it will be hard for any other TV series to surpass this data in the second half of the year. Moreover, it has also triggered a wave of "Sword and Fairy" fever online... It can be said that this June belongs to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

  All the reports took up a full eight pages. And before that, no TV series had ever required Beijing Entertainment News to devote so many pages, but Ye Su Mang's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" did it.

  Many media outlets also published their own comments, especially praising Ye Su Mang.

  Some audience who carefully looked at the staff list were surprised to find that the director, screenwriter and composer all had the name Ye Sumang. When they posted this news online, it also sparked a heated discussion.

  "It turns out that Ye Zi's older brother is not only a director but also a screenwriter, and this beautiful love story was adapted by him, he's really amazing!"

  "Of course, my brother Su Mang is the most talented. Didn't you see his name in the music arrangement column?"

  "Found it, found it! 【Xian Jian Wen Qing】【Yu Jian Jiang Hu】... These nice songs were all completed by our Ye Zi brother, and the ending song of 【Ye Dian】 before was also him, legend has it that he even sang it himself, so good to listen to, if only Ye Zi brother could release an album..."

  When Ye Su Mang's original works were dug up by the media and netizens, he was once again given the title of 'Music Genius', and some media even directly called him a 'Versatile Director', implying that he can do anything well.

  Although Ye Su Meng is currently in the midst of a media storm, he has not paid much attention to these news as he is naturally low-key. Recently, he has been hiding in his own company, sorting out the gains from this TV series.

  According to the contract signed with Tang Ren at the beginning, Ye Su Meng's Tianxia Film and Television Company occupies 35% of the total revenue of this TV series.

  Because of the high ratings, Xiangnan TV station also paid a huge amount for this purchase. After one round of broadcast, they paid 98.25 million Huaxia coins for the broadcasting rights.

  However, the TV station also made a lot of money, and this time they broadcast "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", their advertising revenue reached 300 million yuan, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

  Shonan TV did not owe any money for purchasing the TV series, and paid both companies promptly according to the proportion. At the same time, they also requested to purchase the rebroadcasting rights. Because now it can be seen that this TV series is excellent, and it will definitely get a very high rating if it is rebroadcast.

  Tsai Yi-son and Yeh Su-meng discussed it and quickly sold the broadcast rights for the next episode to Xiangnan TV station at a price of 2 million per episode.

  In addition to broadcasting rights, the TV series also has DVD distribution rights, peripheral posters and other revenue streams. Because these revenues are still increasing, there is no way to make a systematic allocation for the time being. However, just the sale of broadcasting rights alone has brought in a pre-tax total income of 64 million yuan for Tianxia Film and Television.

  "Wow, TV dramas are really profitable! 600 million, my goodness!"

  Holding the financial statement, Huang Bo couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Due to his stake in the company's shares, he was about to become a multimillionaire himself. This was something he wouldn't have dared to think about in the past! At this moment, Huang Bo felt that all of this was very unreal, like a dream.

  "It's great, the popularity of Xian Jian is beyond my expectation." Ye Su Meng said with a smile. He really didn't expect that this TV series would bring him so much income, initially thinking that getting twice the return would be good, but now the return is six times more than his initial investment.

  And Ye Su Mang now has 600 million funds available for use, the shelved "The Thieves" can finally start.

  Ye Sumang thought of this and shared his thoughts with Ning Hao and Huang Bo.

  "No problem, now we have money, of course we'll take pictures!"

  I have no problem with that. With such a good script as "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber", I am eager to see it become a work.

  Huang Bo and Ning Hao both nodded in agreement, saying that they too were eagerly anticipating "A World Without Thieves".

  Ye Su Meng saw that his proposal was agreed upon by everyone, so he happily clapped his hands and said: "Since everyone agrees, then our company's next schedule is to fully prepare for the movie 'Jianyu' (Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber). However, before this, I still have a piece of news to bring to everyone."

  "What news?" Huang Bo and Ning Hao looked at Ye Su Mang with confusion.

  "Our company has a new employee joining! He's arriving at the company hall right away, let's go welcome him together!"
