Chapter 133 - 120 Wu Li, I’m Going to Knock You Out!
"If the news of Wu Li single-handedly facing more than twenty knife-wielding thugs and seriously injuring four of them made him famous beyond the martial arts circle—lighting up both the film and sports circles—then after the first episode of ’Seeking Martial Arts’ aired, he had truly become nationally famous.
For several days in succession, it seemed the entire internet was discussing ’Seeking Martial Arts’ and discussing Wu Li. This made both Qi City TV Station and the Mo Yin Platform realize this variety show was on its way to becoming a massive hit. Consequently, Qi City TV Station quickly assembled an edited version of the first episode of ’Seeking Martial Arts’, with a runtime of over one hour, complete with subtitles and some comments from the livestream, and then broadcast it during the prime-time 8 p.m. slot.
The Mo Yin Platform also released the edited version on their platform, accompanied by various advertisements and links.
The viewership ratings and streaming numbers were extremely gratifying, with various advertisers and sponsors starting to approach Qi City TV Station and the Mo Yin Platform for collaboration talks.
Given the current trend, it might seem that Wu Li’s fee of 800,000 for one episode was a loss, but in reality, he reaped the greatest benefits.
Not to mention the over one million Fan Values from two livestreams, just the boost in Wu Li’s fame alone was significant. On the Mo Yin Platform, Wu Li’s following had broken through 50 million, ranking him fifth among all users on the platform.
The first and third places were occupied by two major news websites, so considering individuals alone, there were only two top-tier celebrities ahead of Wu Li. Judging by the momentum, once ’Seeking Martial Arts’ finished its ten-episode run, Wu Li had a real shot at becoming Mo Yin’s top influencer.
At the same time, Wu Li took advantage of the situation to set up his own Weibo account. He was officially verified instantly, gaining over five million followers in just a few days, with the number still rising.
It could be said, in terms of fame and personal influence, Wu Li was now stronger than many top-tier celebrities.
As a result, Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall also benefited, with a surge in enrollment numbers. The eight branches were swamped with applicants, and Liu Yuanbo was accelerating the recruitment of coaches, planning to send all new hires to Wu Li for training once the recruitment was complete.
Wu Li himself was making the most of the time to instruct Xu Chuan. Once Xu Chuan was ready to begin Bone and Muscle Strengthening, coupled with medication, a significant improvement could be achieved in a short time, and he would then be capable of standing on his own.
