As the news spread, the news about In the Name of the People was slowly dug out.
Filming costs.
Shooting cycle.
The cast.
And so on.
Zhang Ye and this drama had been pushed into the eye of the storm!
…
In the car, on the way back to the studio, Zhang Ye's cell phone nearly exploded with calls.
Ning Lan, Jiang Hanwei, Shu Han, Yao Jiancai, and the main cast of In the Name of the People found this fellow in shock and anger.
"Zhang 'er, do you want to die?!"
"Haha, what's up?"
"What do you think? Why are we fighting them? "
"Didn't I tell you guys before? Didn't you guys already know that their new dramas will be broadcasted at the same time?"
"The same period is the same period! The same sky is the same sky! "
"Isn't that the same?"
"Oh my god! It's far from it! "
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Damn you!"
They wanted to vomit blood!
They had been looking forward to this drama a lot. Although the investment was not big, although it was the director's first time acting, and although there were no male idols in the cast, this group of celebrities who had been abandoned by the times still cherished this rare opportunity to perform. Especially since many of them were invited by Zhang Ye one by one. Even Ning Lan and a few others who had already retired from the industry were invited by Zhang Ye.
But what was the result?
This girl wants to compete with the two most anticipated commercial blockbusters of the year? Wasn't that jumping into a fire pit? Others couldn't wait to avoid them! How many directors and TV series had avoided their time slots! What about you? Not only was he not trying to hide, but he was also trying to get closer to her! How confident are you? Do you really think that our low-budget political TV series can compete with commercial blockbusters? How could this be? At that time, if the viewership ratings were to be split by others and not even reach 0.2%, that would be too much of a slap in the face. How would they explain it to the Central Publicity Department?!
…
In front.
They arrived at the studio.
The moment Zhang Ye came back, he saw Ha Qiqi and the others dealing with a group of reporters.
The news had only been released for less than half an hour, and the media reporters had already swarmed over. Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces. Obviously, they were also shocked!
"Ah!"
"Zhang Ye is here!"
"Director Zhang!"
"Why did you choose to premiere your first TV series at this time?"
"Are you going to challenge a little fresh meat?"
"What do you think of your play?"
"What kind of TV series is this?"
The reporters bombarded him with questions.
Zhang Ye rarely accepted an interview, so he spoke with fervor and assurance, "This drama was spearheaded by the Central Publicity Department and is an unprecedented anti-corruption drama. We went through a lot of trials and tribulations during the filming process. It was very tough and difficult, but I would like to thank my actors. They're all amazing and have overcome many unimaginable difficulties. So please look forward to it, everyone. I believe that after the premiere of this drama, it will definitely give everyone a pleasant surprise."
The reporters rolled their eyes when they heard this!
Hard work?
Unimaginably difficult?
A drama that was completed in ten days? Surpassing your imagination, your sister!
'If it's unimaginably difficult for you, then what the hell would it be like for a TV series that's been shooting for a year or two!'
…
The interview was broadcast.
The netizens were also full of disdain.
"This guy is too shameless!"
"He's too thick-skinned!"
"I'm beyond imagination, your sister!"
"Ten days? Are you on steroids or something? Just how crudely produced is this! "
"This fellow is still so fast when it comes to getting things done."
"Yeah, he recorded a show quickly, wrote a song quickly, wrote a novel quickly, and even finished filming a TV series in ten days. In the entire entertainment industry, I've never seen such a fast learner!"
"You don't say, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Me too. Motherfucker, I want to see what this fellow's first TV series will be like!"
"If Zhang Ye's drama can get 0.2% in the viewership ratings, he'll have to thank the gods!"
"I don't think it can even reach 0.2%!"
"He's courting death!"
"The Central Publicity Department is probably going to kill him!"
Initially, Zhang Ye had only just made his comeback, so this drama did not receive much attention. A lot of people knew that he was making a TV series, but they couldn't even remember what it was called. But with this incident, In the Name of the People had caused a stir all over the country. A lot of people knew about it, and for a moment, even the limelight of Heavens of the Gods and Age of Kingdoms was stolen away. Everyone was talking about it.
…
At Li Shao's Studio.
Li Shao was furious.
"He can steal the limelight like this?"
"This Zhang Ye is too hateful!"
"So this is that legendary Heavenly King from back then?"
"I finally understand why this fellow had so many enemies back then! H-He doesn't play by the rules at all! "
…
At Chi Hao's studio.
"Let's fight then! Who's afraid of who!"
"Right, it's still a fight even if it's one or two!"
"Zhang Ye still thinks that he's that Asian Heavenly King from back then!"
"I don't believe it either. How can a crappy drama like yours that was filmed in just ten days be able to challenge us!"
…
The actors of In the Name of the People also abandoned Zhang Ye and gathered together to scold him.
"That idiot!"
"If I ever act in a drama directed by him again, I'll write my name backwards!"
"Yeah, my heart can't take it!"
"I'm really drunk to have a director like that!"
"I've already given up on the viewership ratings."
"I just hope that we don't die too tragically."
This fellow, Zhang Ye, seemed to be born with a halo of hatred.
To his enemies.
To the passersby.
And to his own people.
…
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
It was getting closer and closer to the premiere.
The three dramas were running neck and neck. These days, they were constantly bombarded by the media.
"The premiere is approaching!"
"Experts predict the viewership ratings!"
"Two days to the countdown. Who will emerge victorious in the battle for the Heavenly King?"
"A TV drama that wraps up production in just ten days shocks the industry!"
"An expert claims: Zhang Ye doesn't understand TV dramas at all. He's just here to cause trouble!"
Zhang Ye was very happy. This was exactly the effect he wanted. The times were different now. The male idols were in charge, and the commercial dramas were in charge. Everyone's attention was on them, and it would be very difficult to reverse the situation. That was why Zhang Ye thought of a way to stand out and draw everyone's attention to In the Name of the People. As long as there was attention and no one ignored it, he believed that this good drama would not be buried.
As for Heavens of the Gods?
As for Age of Kingdoms?
Zhang Ye actually did not think much of it.
It wasn't that he was arrogant or overconfident. If it were any other TV series other than In the Name of the People, he would really have to consider who his opponent was, how much he had invested in it, and what kind of script he was up against. But there was no need for that now. Because this was In the Name of the People!
No matter who the opponent was!
No matter how many opponents there were!
It didn't matter to him. He would destroy them one by one!
Come, I'll let you all witness the godly drama that swept everything in my previous world!
