<h4>Chapter 496 Fear Not the Ignorant, Fear the Comparison</h4>


    The messages online became more exaggerated. People loved to share happiness, leading to a lot of them tagging their friends everywhere!


    On the train, someone was holding onto an iPad and streaming the show online. He would asionally burst intoughter.


    Seeing him that entertained, the others curiously looked at his iPad. The next moment, the crowd around him were simrlyughing out loud.


    Finally, the others could no longer resist it.


    “Bro, what are you guysughing at? What are you watching?”


    “You don’t know? Today is the New Year. Premiere of the TV series?”


    “I’ve seen the titles of a few TV series. I don’t think there are anyedies.”


    “It’s iPartment! Actor Y’s work!”


    “What? Wasn’t that program said to be no good?”


    “Tsk, you’ll understand after watching it! Actor Y is just too amazing! His amazement has reached new heights!”


    “For real? Is it that entertaining?”


    “I strongly rmend it! I guarantee that you won’t regret it!”


    “That’s right. I can’t wait to watch the second episode. I don’t even want to cut through the advertisements,” said one of the bystanders.


    ...


    In a residential area, within a house...


    Someone hurriedly took out his phone and made a phone call excitedly.


    “Hey, Dacheng, did you watch iPartment? I told you Actor Y won’t let us down, didn’t I? F*ck, it’s really amazing!”


    “Amazing?”


    “I’m crying fromughter, what’d you think?”


    “F*ck, for real? Are you that easily entertained?”


    “Who are you calling easily entertained? What do you know?! I’m telling the truth. The second episode is about to start. Quick, go watch it. Don’t me me for not reminding you.”


    “Fine, I’ll believe you for now.”


    Simr scenes happened all over the country. Although Actor Y did not appear much, with only one or two appearances thus far, he was still Y. That was a name that held special meaning in people’s hearts.


    A lot of them felt conflicted as they did not wish to see the legend of Y be destroyed. It was proven once more that Y did not let them down!


    ...


    Although iPartment only aired one episode, every scene from start till the end and every character were appealing.


    Word spread like wildfire!


    Those that watched the TV series started spreading it everywhere!


    WeChat Moments, Weibo, and Tieba were all in heated discussions.


    For some time, more and more people sat in front of their TV and switched over to Banana TV!


    Even some of those who were watching other TV series could not resist taking a look at iPartment.


    “The second episode is starting.”


    “Please maintain the style of the first episode. Don’t let me down!”


    “It’s rare to have such a good TV series. Please don’t fall apart. I’m looking forward to this.”


    “I’ve already invited a lot of friends together. I’ve made my boast. Please don’t embarrass me!”


    ...


    Durian TV headquarters...


    At that moment, the office was simrly well lit. Everyone exchanged nces, then tacitly shifted their gaze on Chairman He.


    As expected, Chairman He’s face was as dark as charcoal.


    Everyone knew that iPartment was personally removed by Chairman He. The current topic revolved around iPartment. In fact, some of them even watched iPartment out of curiosity. To be frank, they failed to hold in theirughter and turned the atmosphere in the office even more awkward.


    Did he regret it?


    That was without a doubt.


    However, regretting would not solve the problem.


    “Actually, even if iPartment’s first episode performed well, I don’t think it canst! It’s one of those that starts strong and dies offter,” said a half-bald man.


    Those words immediately caught Chairman He’s attention. His eyes glowed brightly, asking, “Oh? Why so?”


    “The opening sets too high a standard!” That person contemted for a moment then started exining, “Comedy can definitely bring happiness to the public. However, for those of us in this field, we know full well thatedy is the hardest material to film. It’s because of theck of routine that makes it extremely demanding! Look at iPartment. The first episode is filled with so many punchlines! How many punchlines can youe up with?”


    His words made everyone fall into silence.


    He was right. There were only so many funny incidents. The first episode was fine, but if it went on, how could there be that muchedy material?


    “Go on.” Chairman He smiled.


    “This is why I’m sure that iPartment ced all their heavy hitters on the first episode. The following plot will definitely drop in quality!” The bald man paused, then added, “The higher the expectation, the bigger the disappointment. After the second episode, the trend online will change in direction. It will be filled with criticism!”


    “Your deductions make sense!” Chairman He nodded approvingly. “Everyone, switch the channel over to iPartment. I refuse to believe that it can hold out.”


    ...


    “It’s here, it’s here! The second episode is starting!”


    At that moment, a lot of people had their attention on Banana TV. There were a myriad ofplicated emotions.


    The introduction began.


    It was set in the living room of a Chinese apartment. Lu Xiaobu and Chen Meijia were seated on the couch.


    The scene was filled with warmth, giving everyone a sense of belonging.


    “One, three, two, five, three...” Lu Xiaobu held a stack of cash in his hand and counted them in the wrong order repeatedly. However, it was obvious that he intended to show off in front of Chen Meijia.


    A familiar scene. It had happened to most of them, causing a lot of them to feel a smile creeping onto their faces.


    As expected, Chen Meijia retorted with jealousy. “There’s no point counting repeatedly. You won’t find another extra one. I bet you haven’t heard of this saying. Those that only know how to count money will have no money to count in the end!”


    “Pfft!”


    Several people startedughing at the same time in front of their TV. The opening did not let them down.


    Next, theedic plot continued to develop. The more they watched, the more they were entertained. Everyone was filled with excitement. Consequently, they felt a sense of closeness with the actors in the show.


    Rtable and funny. What else could be more entertaining than this?


    “Pfft. Hahaha, this Lu Xiaobu and Chen Meijia couple are truly quarrelsome lovers. They are so funny.”


    “If the price of pork downstairs went up, you can just buy from other shops! That thought process is not wrong. Genius!”


    “I can feel it. Wanyu’s identity is definitely extraordinary. F*ck, could she be a rich man’s daughter?”


    “Another new character. This Mr. Guangu doesn’t seem to be very smart seeing that he was yed by Lu Xiaobu.”


    “That’s not just dumb. That’s an honest man! An honest person sure has it hard!”


    “This is wonderful. Truly a good show. I’ve switched over from For My Love. At first, I thought For My Love was not bad, butparing to this, that TV series is just like a pile of sh*t!”


    “Our ancestors are wise indeed, for there’s the saying. Fear not the ignorant, fear theparison! They are truly far-sighted.”
