Chapter 157 - 143: Old Memories, Double Flower Red Stick
On June 15, Wu Li was discussing with Qi City TV Station and the program team about the filming location for the fourth episode.
After the end of the third episode, "Seeking Martial Arts" was vaguely gaining the momentum to become a phenomenon-level variety show.
Don’t be fooled by the peak live audience of only over 3 million, because this was a live broadcast, and it took place on a weekday, so many people didn’t have the time or convenience to watch it live. However, the edited version later produced by Qi City TV Station had many times more viewers.
As a result, Qi City TV Station’s ratings soared, breaking the historical record for the viewership of their variety shows!
And the number of views on Mo Yin had already surpassed a hundred million. Mo Yin’s official data previously revealed that nearly 30% of Mo Yin users had watched "Seeking Martial Arts."
Considering Mo Yin’s daily active users had reached 250 million and the monthly active users were 650 million, more than half of the users had watched "Seeking Martial Arts," meaning almost one-tenth of the entire country had seen the show!
With such popularity, Qi City TV Station was eager to start shooting the next episode without rest, but it wasn’t up to them to decide when to shoot, it was up to Wu Li to give the nod.
Wu Li, due to issues with reaching the Grandmaster Realm, had been cooped up in a hotel for several days with no progress and had to get out to clear his mind and deal with other matters.
The Martial Arts Hall was already on the right track, and there was no longer a need for Wu Li to handle the coaching training personally. The only thing left to do was discuss the improvement of martial arts with the new Martial Artists who had joined the Hall. But now, with his own problems still unresolved, Wu Li was not in the right mindset to improve other martial arts, so he decided to focus on filming the program first.
Originally, the UFC tryouts were scheduled for June this year, and Wu Li was all set to bring the program team abroad to visit overseas Chinese masters, but the UFC had postponed this year’s tryouts.
The UFC tryouts were never set in stone, as it was difficult to find suitable candidates, and most of these people were professionals who often competed in matches. Injuries were inevitable, so the tryouts would only begin once most people were in good condition.
