In this bet, Yang Qi lost very quickly.

Just after 8:30 in the morning, as soon as Yang Qi finished performing a scene, assistant Mo Wenjing walked quickly to him and told him in his ear the ratings of the first and second episodes of "The Ugly Swordsman" last night.

"Boss! The ratings of the two episodes came out last night, and Mr. Zhao said that the start was okay, and the average ratings of the two episodes were 1.13 and 1.32 respectively, and at the peak, it was the first third of the second episode, reaching 1.47! Mr. Zhao said that this result is better than the premiere results of many new dramas!"

Mo Wenjing's report made Yang Qi look at her, because her way of reporting was obviously a novice, and when Lin Xiuling reported the ratings to him before, she was not like this.

However, Yang Qi also understands that Mo Wenjing has just started to be his assistant after all, and she is still in the learning stage, so she is not familiar with the ratings, which can be understood.

Judging from the ratings of the first two episodes alone, it is not possible to see whether "The Ugly Swordsman" is popular or not, although this result is said to be good.

But when eating a boxed lunch at noon, today's news that Mo Wenjing showed Yang Qi was a bit of a fire.

The related titles of the film and television section of Xinxin.com "The Ugly Swordsman" ranked third.

Yang Qi was mentioned in the review, and a few sentences were written: "If you watch "The Ugly Swordsman" for the first time and don't quickly discover the role played by Yang Qi, don't worry! Please take a look at it! Keep your eyes open and carefully distinguish among all the characters who appear, Yang Qi's new appearance in "The Ugly Swordsman" is very deceptive! If you don't look carefully, you won't find him!"

There are also a few sentences that are written like this: "Do you still remember Yang Qi's clean and neat but extremely powerful swordsmanship in "Dragon City Battle"? In "The Ugly Swordsman", Yang Qi presents you with another extremely cool seven-style electric sword! Blind your eyes! Which newcomer's swordsmanship is stronger? Who can surpass Yang Qi's seven-style electric sword?"

……

On "Daily Entertainment", in the news column of the film and television section, "The Ugly Swordsman" was on the front page, with the title - "Yang Qi's stunning new work "The Ugly Swordsman"!"

It's such a simple title, but after Mo Wenjing clicked on Yang Qi, the number of viewers who saw this news had exceeded 10,000.

This news is also full of praise and praise for Yang Qi.

There were more than 1,000 comments in the comment area, and Mo Wenjing pointed to the time when the news was sent for Yang Qi to see.

"This news article was posted half an hour ago, and in half an hour, more than 10,000 people clicked on it and more than 1,000 commented!" she said.

Mo Wenjing also deliberately flipped to the comment area to signal Yang Qi to take a look.

Yang Qi glanced at it a few times and saw a few comments that were roughly written like this:

"Originally, I came to see this drama with Guan Xin and Yang Tianyu, but I was fanned by Yang Qi in the first episode! Yang Qi's acting skills and swordsmanship have gone further, perverted—— golden boy"

"The Ugly Swordsman...... Why do I think Yang Qi's ugly swordsman is too handsome? Is there something wrong with my aesthetics?——

"Sister Tianyu is so beautiful! Guan Xin is also very good, the third lady played by Uma can give 8 points! But these are not the reasons why I fell in love with "The Ugly Swordsman" so quickly! There is only one reason why I instantly decided to chase this drama - Yang Qi! Why not Cheng's "Dragon City Battle" deserves to hit the streets! Why not let Yang Qi play Jun Jieming in the first place, the box office of "Dragon City Battle" can add at least 200 million —— zero excitement"

……

The mobile phone news that Mo Wenjing found for Yang Qi is much the same, basically praising "The Ugly Swordsman", praising the three ladies of the Iron Banner Gate who appeared in the first two episodes, most of them are praising Yang Qi's new appearance and swordsmanship in "The Ugly Swordsman".

Before Mo Wenjing walked away, Du Jun walked over with squinted eyes with a smile, patted Yang Qi on the shoulder and said, "You're going to be on fire, aren't you going to lose?"

However, he did not urge Yang Qi to fulfill the gambling contract today, Du Jun said: "In order to convince you of losing, I will give you another week to let you see if this drama is really popular in the next week!"

Du Jun said it firmly and proudly, he seemed to have more confidence in "The Ugly Swordsman" than Yang Qi and Mo Wenjing, but Rao was like this, and in the next few days, the popularity of "The Ugly Swordsman" rose so fast that it still scared him.

On the second day, the average ratings of the three or four episodes that Mo Wenjing reported to Yang Qi had risen to: 1.47 and 1.53.

On the third day, the average ratings for episodes five or six rose to 1.62 and 1.79.

On the fourth day, the average ratings of the seven or eight episodes have broken through 2, reaching 2.04 and 2.15 respectively.

Four days after the official broadcast, the average rating of each episode of "The Ugly Swordsman" has broken 2, such a fast speed, such a dazzling result, not only Du Jun was shocked, but there were many, many people who were surprised.

The most intuitive manifestation is reflected in those news and video websites related to film and television.

"Basically all the entertainment news is now reporting on "The Ugly Swordsman"! And most of the film and television sections are headlines!" This is what Mo Wenjing casually said to Yang Qi when she was having dinner with Yang Qi on the fourth night of the official broadcast of "The Ugly Swordsman".

Almost all entertainment news is tracking and reporting on "The Ugly Swordsman", which is the embodiment of the current popularity of "The Ugly Swordsman", because at this time, "The Ugly Swordsman" has risen to become the TV series with the fastest rise, the best reputation, and the most reviews of all satellite TV dramas in the country.

Not one of them!

Although the ratings are 2, it is not the hottest TV series at present, but you must know that it has only been officially broadcast for 4 days, and it is still broadcast on Anhui Satellite TV, which is only medium in popularity.

In order to extend the broadcast time of this drama, Anhui Satellite TV made a decision that made countless people scold their mothers - reducing the number of episodes per day from two episodes per day to one episode per day.

But even so, the average rating of "The Ugly Swordsman" on the fifth day rose to 2.56.

It rose to 2.74 on the sixth day.

On the seventh day, it directly broke 3 and rose to 3.18, dwarfing other TV dramas broadcast in the same period, becoming the TV series with the highest ratings among all satellite TV channels in the country during the same period.

Two days later, when the ratings of "The Ugly Swordsman" rose to 3.49, Xinxinwang exposed a piece of news - the online broadcast rights of "The Ugly Swordsman" were bought by Starlight Network with a lot of money!

How much does a lot of money weigh?

1,000,000 per episode!

50 episodes of "The Ugly Swordsman", just sold to the network broadcast rights of Starlight Network, earned 50 million!

Not to mention the rest of the benefits.

The high price of 1 million per episode, according to Xinxinnet, is the highest price ever for the online broadcast rights of domestic TV dramas, and the previous highest price was a palace fight drama last year, when the price was 650,000 per episode.

"The Ugly Swordsman" is based on that palace fighting drama, and it is forced to rise by one-third.
