"One hundred million times—what kind of achievement is that? It could almost be considered the total for a fairly popular TV series! Last year, there were only a handful of TV dramas that surpassed one hundred million views. Moreover, those dramas were usually 30 to 40 episodes long, the extended type. And "Rock Youth"? It only had a mere four episodes!"
However, when the ratings for the fourth episode came out, the bunch on the drama set didn’t celebrate. It was only after several days that they received the news.
—Because right now, this group of people is on a luxury yacht in the vicinity of Shangcheng.
According to the script, the next scenes were to be filmed on the luxurious yacht. As a high-quality idol drama, it must feature fancy cars and beautiful people. At the same time, well-known luxury brands and glimpses into the rarely seen crystalline extravagance of the upper class are also common settings for an idol drama.
However, the only difference this time was that the yacht they were aboard belonged to Yu Zexiao’s friend, the new president of the Ling Consortium from Shangcheng, Ling Yichuan. The value of renting the yacht lay in the Ling Consortium inserting a real estate ad into the drama, as well as the branded clothing from a trendy label run by his sister, Ling Yinuo.
Ling Yichuan’s yacht was not particularly large. Inside, it could only accommodate about one hundred people. However, the interior decoration was absolutely lavish and luxurious. Not like those ordinary rental companies with yachts available for the general public—the yacht was the epitome of luxury in every detail and aspect.
Even Director Li and Lu Jiayuan, who had traveled all over the world and had seen much, were somewhat surprised and stunned to see such an opulent yacht!
It really is a matter of class! Perhaps in the eyes of the general public, famous actors and directors should already be very wealthy and Upper-class. Yet to the real social elites like Yu Zexiao and Ling Yichuan, they are nothing more than a group of newly rich upstarts!
So, when Yu Zexiao dared to decline a 10 million endorsement deal, he simply wouldn’t accept it. How could an ordinary actor refuse such a manna-from-heaven opportunity? But for Ling Yichuan, this yacht was maybe just something he played with when bored. He didn’t actually live by the sea and was too busy with everyday affairs to use it regularly, only occasionally coming for a PARTY or when he felt like it—otherwise, it was just left unused on the side.
So when the production team approached him to borrow the yacht, he agreed readily.
Moreover, he agreed not just to lend them the yacht for filming—he also wanted to come and observe their shooting.

The refreshing sea breeze dissipated the muggy heat of the summer season. Yu Zexiao sat on a sun lounger under a huge parasol, which shielded him from the excessive sun’s blaze.
Below Yu Zexiao were loose-fitting beach shorts and above, a white T-shirt. He lounged back with his long legs comfortably crossed. Next to him, a large coconut. A straw was stuck into the coconut, and Yu Zexiao lay leisurely on the sun lounger, looking utterly relaxed.
