Chapter 879 Cold reception and hot discussion
In the second episode of "Dragon Group", He Chong was taken to a deserted island by a helicopter to participate in the selection of the Dragon Group.
In addition to He Chong, there are 47 contestants. They all have unique skills and are superpowers with a potential development level of more than 50%, including Su Wei played by Huang Xuan, Tang Qingcheng played by Yuan Shanshan, and Bai Zhi played by Lin Xiaolu. The person who hosted this time was Ji Jiang, deputy leader of the Dragon Group.
Ji Jiang raised a badge with a dragon pattern and shouted: "Each of you will get a badge! This badge is your life. It is equipped with a sensing system and a signal transmitter. Once it is 50 meters away from your body, it will automatically be activated! Once it is activated, it means that your life is gone and you will withdraw from the competition! There are 48 people participating in this selection, and in the end, only 4 people can pass the test."
Ji Jiang looked at the 48 candidates and said coldly: "You heard it clearly. The test time is 24 hours. Within 24 hours, you should find your opponent as much as possible, defeat them, and snatch this badge from their hands! But you cannot really kill your opponent. If the opponent really dies, then you will be eliminated directly. Remember, if more than 4 players survive 24 hours later, then everyone's badge will be stimulated and everyone will be eliminated!"
Seeing Rick staring at the TV, Susanna said, "Ji Jiang is the heroine of the TV series "God's Will". The story took place more than 2,000 years ago, in the era of Qin Shihuang. When Ji Jiang traveled through time and space, she stimulated her potential in her body, thus becoming a superpower. After traveling to modern times, Ji Jiang discovered that Long Xi was not only alive, but also established a World Socialist Association that controls the world. In order to deal with Long Xi..."
Rick interrupted Susanna and said angrily: "Don't you know that spoilers are immoral?"
Susanna said proudly: "This is a third-rate TV series, even if it is spoiled, it doesn't matter!"
"Dragon Group" continues to be broadcast. Shortly after the test officially began, He Chong met the number player Zhang Weidong. Zhang Weidong's ability is the art of controlling ice, while He Chong is the art of controlling fire. The two immediately started a thrilling battle.
Fireball vs ice hockey, Rockets vs ice arrows, Fire Dragon vs ice dragons, red flames and blue frost constantly collided with each other, making a huge roar. In the end, He Chong, with his strong strength, broke through Zhang Weidong's ice defense, knocked down Zhang Weidong, and successfully took away his badge.
This battle made Rick stunned, his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it. After a while, he said convincedly: "This special effect, this fight is so wonderful! This battle between ice magic and fire magic in the novel is like this! There has never been a film and television work that has ever produced this effect. It is so wonderful, so wonderful!"
Not only Rick was shocked, but countless audiences in front of the computer and TV were shocked, and even actors such as Chang Jirong and Yuan Shanshan were shocked. They did not expect that the special effects of "Dragon Group" would be so excellent, and they did not expect that this drama would be easier to see.
Shortly after the battle with Zhang Weidong, He Chong met Tang Qingcheng, played by Yuan Shanshan. Tang Qingcheng was a smart woman, and it was the second time he participated in the Dragon Group selection. He knew that it was difficult to survive in the selection by relying solely on personal strength, so he suggested that He Chong join forces with him. But He Chong refused directly. He ignited a raging flame with both hands and launched an attack on Tang Qingcheng.
Tang Qingcheng's ability is the wood-control technique, which can control various plants. She stepped out with her hands dancing in the air, and her powerful spiritual power rolled out, turning into a rain of flowers and pressing towards He Chong overwhelmed.
During the fierce battle, the necklace on Tang Qingcheng's neck suddenly fell off and fell to the ground along his clothes. He Chong immediately stopped after seeing Tang Qingcheng's necklace. A golden badge was hung on it, with a dragon head hanging on it, with a fierce and majestic expression, exactly the same as the badge on He Chong's neck. He Chong knew that Tang Qingcheng was like him and was also a descendant of the martyrs of the Dragon Group. He Chong didn't want to fight Tang Qingcheng anymore, so he agreed to form an alliance with Tang Qingcheng.
Through the conversation, He Chong learned about Tang Qingcheng's life experience and also knew that among the 48 people who participated in the selection this time, there was a man named Xu Sheng, a descendant of Xu Jingyang, the four Taoist masters. Xu Sheng was very powerful and a genius who was rare in a century.
Tang Qingcheng and He Chong discussed a combat plan, and Tang Qingcheng pretended to be injured to lure the enemy, while He Chong was ambushing aside to launch a sneak attack. It would be best if the enemy could be killed through sneak attack. If it could not be killed, the two of them would join forces to deal with the enemy. Their plan went very smoothly and they quickly killed three opponents.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the speaker kept reporting the list of eliminated people; the rest were either lurking in the dark to prepare for sneak attacks or looking for opponents carefully, and they all hoped that they could go to the end.
Su Wei's superpower, played by Huang Qi, is the art of controlling earth, which can fight and bear it, and has amazing combat power; Bai Zhi, played by Lin Xiaolu, is good at controlling wind, even if she can't beat others, as long as she is determined to escape, others can't catch up at all; while Xu Sheng mentioned by Tang Qingcheng is worthy of being a once-in-a-century genius, with amazing strength, just like a beast that releases a cage, kills gods when encountering gods and kills Buddhas when encountering gods. In less than 12 hours, he killed ten opponents. He ranks first in the killer list of this selection competition.
Time keeps moving forward, battles are constantly going on, all kinds of magical abilities, various cool special effects, and extremely gorgeous fighting moves make people excited, and Rick is completely conquered by "Dragon Group".
There is still an hour before the end of the competition, and only 5 of the 48 participants are left. In addition to He Chong, Tang Qingcheng, Su Wei and Bai Zhi, there is also one of these five people, Xu Sheng, the strongest participants this time. So far, he has eliminated 15 participants by himself, leading the killer list.
With half an hour left before the end of the game, He Chong and Tang Qingcheng collided with Xu Sheng, and the final battle officially began. Xu Sheng's ability is the sword-controlling technique, and his combat power is amazing. However, He Chong trained under Chu Tianshu, who also used sword-controlling technique in the past few months, and had some experience in dealing with sword-controlling technique. In addition, this time he joined forces with Tang Qingcheng to fight against the enemy. Although Xu Sheng was powerful, he could not defeat them for the time being.
During the battle, Tang Qingcheng kept summoning various plants and flowers to attack Xu Sheng, and the petals drifted, so that the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers; these fragrances were non-toxic, but two kinds of fragrances mixed together would turn into nerve agents, which could numb the nerves. Xu Sheng was not aware of it for a while, and then he caught Tang Qingcheng's way. Under the action of the nerve agent, his movements became dull. He Chong took advantage of this opportunity to attack with all his might and finally knocked Xu Sheng down.
The test ended soon, He Chong, Tang Qingcheng, Su Wei and Bai Zhi passed the test successfully and officially became members of the Dragon Group.
Listening to the ending music and looking at the scrolling subtitles, Chang Jirong's brother said excitedly: "This drama is so well-made, with stories, fights, and special effects all top-notch. This drama will definitely become popular! Jirong will definitely become a big hit!"
After watching the first two episodes of "Dragon Group", Yuan Shanshan called her friend Yang Mi as soon as possible and said proudly: "Mi Mi, are you watching "Dragon Group"? How do you feel?"
At the same time, Susanna was also smiling and asked Rick: "How is it, I have nothing to say now? Do you still think "Dragon Group" is a third-rate TV series?"
Rick has been completely conquered by "Dragon Group" and has no intention of quarrel with Susanna. What he wants to do most now is to watch the next episode immediately, want to enjoy it in one breath, and directly said: "I admit that this is a good drama, let it go!"
Susanna smiled proudly, hum, this is a TV series produced by Zhang Ran, how could it be bad? But she said with regret: "I can't put down an episode. The third and fourth episodes will not be broadcast until next Saturday night!"
Rick was slightly stunned and frowned and said, "How could this happen? Netflix's self-produced dramas are played one season at a time. Why does "Dragon Group" only play two episodes a week?"
Susanna explained: "The Dragon Group is broadcast simultaneously in China and the United States. The Dragon Group only plays two episodes a week in China. In order to keep it synchronized, it can only play two episodes a week in the United States."
Rick was very disappointed, cursed "small", and got up and returned to his room. He sat in front of the computer for a few seconds, clicked on fl, and searched for netizens' comments on "Fallen Stars" to see what the audience commented on the drama. He was surprised to find that there were complaints on the Internet, and many people said that the story of "Fallen Stars" was quite old-fashioned, and there was no big fight in the drama, nor any refreshing fight. Both the plot and the emotions were very mediocre.
Seeing the audience's comments on "Fallen Stars", Rick suddenly felt a little glad that he was watching "Dragon Group", otherwise he would have been complaining wildly! He searched netizens' comments on "Dragon Group" and found that there were very few discussions on "Dragon Group" and basically all discussing the play are Chinese, and none of the people he knew were watching this play.
Rick felt it was a pity to miss such a wonderful TV series as "Dragon Group", so he wrote down his reviews and posted them on FL, telling his friends that he had found a good drama worth watching.
Immediately afterwards, Rick opened imdb, gave "Dragon Group" ten stars, and wrote a brief film review: "I have always liked the world of swords and magic. After watching "Dragon Group", I found that the magic world was perfectly reproduced in this TV series, ice magic, fire magic, and Chinese sword control techniques, which are simply amazing. The pace of this drama is extremely fast, with the exciting action, passionate scenes, ecstasy soundtracks, and eye-catching photography, like a sharp sword being unsheathed, which makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves!"
Unlike the cold receptions in the US market, there are discussions about "Dragon Group" everywhere on the Chinese Internet, some discussing the plot, some discussing special effects, some discussing He Chong, Tang Qingcheng, some discussing Xu Sheng, and some discussing the starring actors of Chang Jirong and others. However, there are also many netizens who express dissatisfaction with Century Peak Online. Everyone likes "Dragon Group" so much that they want to see the future development immediately, but Century Peak only plays two episodes in a week, and netizens are very dissatisfied with this.
"I can't believe this is a TV series. The special effects are really comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. They are simply too realistic. The actors' performances are also very good. It's worthy of being a TV series caught by Zhang Ran himself. There's nothing to say! It's just that only two episodes a week makes people feel annoying and tormenting!"
"Yes, such a good TV series only broadcasts two episodes a week! Netflix's self-made dramas release all the scenes in one go, so that everyone can enjoy watching it at once. Why can't you learn Netflix? Why can't you release all the scenes at once and let everyone enjoy watching it?"
"Protest! Only two episodes are broadcast in a week, which is too few! Why can't two episodes be broadcast more than two episodes?"
Although there are many protests on the Internet, it also reflects the audience's love for "Dragon Group" from another perspective. A storm about "Dragon Group" began to sweep the whole country.
Chapter completed!
