Friday.
On the day of the broadcast.
Weibo was bustling with activity.
"Come, come, come. Let's open."
"I bet on Heavens of the Gods!"
"I bet that Age of Kingdoms will win!"
"I'm betting on Heavens of the Gods. Count me in."
"Man, Qingqing, aren't you Zhang Ye's hardcore fan?"
"Yeah, why did you bet on Heavens of the Gods?"
"I'm a fan of Teacher Zhang, not a fan of his movies. I've never even watched his TV series before."
"Which movie is everyone going to watch today?"
"I think more people watch Heavens of the Gods."
"The timings are all at the same time. I can only choose one first."
"Haha, I'm planning to watch In the Name of the People first. I'd like to see what kind of shit stirrer Teacher Zhang can come up with this time. As for Heavens of the Gods and Age of Kingdoms, I'll watch their updates on the video hosting website later tonight."
"I'm also waiting to see how Face-smacking Zhang will die this time."
"Hahaha, Face-smacking Zhang is finally going to get his face slapped. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited."
Today was a big day. Some people got off work early, and some people pushed back their social engagements to go home early to welcome the feast of the TV series. It had been a long time since the TV drama industry had been so lively. Two blockbuster shows of the year were premiering at the same time. Oh, there was even a lousy drama that was causing trouble. The attention of the media, the industry, and the public was all drawn to this. Many people could not wait any longer.
…
Meanwhile.
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
The aroma of the dishes assailed their nostrils, and the wine was served.
Ding dong.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Zhang Ye personally opened the door.
Outside, Ning Lan, Yao Jiancai, Dong Shanshan, Zhang Xia, Jiang Hanwei, Shu Han, and the rest of the cast and crew had all arrived. Today, Zhang Ye had called all of them over to watch the premiere together at his studio.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Please come in, it's time to eat."
Ning Lan rolled her eyes.
Jiang Hanwei kept a straight face.
Shu Han did not give Zhang Ye any face.
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Yo, what's up with all of them?"
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "We've already discussed it. If the viewership ratings are terrible, we'll chop you up into pieces. Think about it yourself."
Yao Jiancai also said, "You really know how to cause trouble!"
But Zhang Ye did not think much of it. "Is that so? I'm still keeping it. "
Shu Han said, "You're still keeping it? We almost had a heart attack because of you. "
Jiang Hanwei said, "Didn't you look online? Everyone is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. "
"Alright, let's hurry up and serve. The dishes are ready." Zhang Ye chuckled as he gestured for everyone to take their seats. "There's wine and dishes, so help yourselves."
At this moment, the open kitchen turned off the fire.
Wu Zeqing, who was wearing an apron, came out with the last dish. "Alright, let's eat."
Everyone hurriedly stood up when they saw this.
"Aiyo."
"Minister Wu."
"Why are you the one cooking?"
Everyone was flattered.
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Give it a try. I wonder if it suits your tastes."
Zhang Ye bragged, "Let me tell you guys, my wife's cooking is really good. Most people can't even get a taste of her cooking. After having one meal, they'll want a second one."
Wu Zeqing laughed. "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Over there, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others also sat down.
With Wu Zeqing around, no one dared to complain about Zhang Ye. They quickly buried their heads in their food. The moment they ate, they were amazed and everyone praised him.
"This Yuxiang Shredded Pork is delicious!"
"The Red Braised Pork is amazing."
"Director Zhang, you're so lucky."
"It smells so good."
This was not the first time many of them had seen Wu Zeqing. They had also seen her at Zhang Ye's wedding a few years ago. But no matter which time they met, they would always be left speechless. They could not understand why someone as beautiful as a flower, as good at cooking, as gentle as she was, and as a high-ranking leader would jump into the fire pit that was Zhang Ye. No matter how they thought about it, they could not understand it!
Slowly, it was time.
Zhang Ye suddenly said, "Little Wang, it's about to start."
Little Wang answered, "Alright, I'm going to turn on the TV."
The TV was turned on.
Everyone also looked over.
Actually, other than Zhang Ye, none of them had seen the edited version of the film yet. Although every scene was shot by them together, no one knew what the result would be like or what the effects would be. Their hearts were pounding and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"It's starting!"
"It's starting!"
…
At Zhang Ye's parents' house.
Zhang Ye's parents were already waiting.
"It's starting!"
"Louder, louder!"
…
At Zhang Ye's eldest younger sister's house.
His three sisters were all here.
"It's starting!"
"It's all up to Brother now!"
…
On TV.
Beijing Television.
The opening theme music was already playing.
Executive Producer: Zhang Ye.
Executive Producer: Zhang Ye.
Art Director: Zhang Ye.
Art Director: Zhang Ye.
Screenwriter: Zhang Ye.
Editor: Zhang Ye.
Executive Director: Zhang Ye.
This cast list was still very shocking. Zhang Ye, who was directing and acting in a TV series for the first time, was actually taking on multiple roles. His name appeared in almost every role.
Then, the main event began.
A whistle came from the screen.
It was a song by Zhang Yuanqi that many people had heard before.
Beijing.
In a neighborhood.
In a car. A hand was fiddling with a cell phone.
"Director Hou, I think we should take action now. We've been waiting for almost two hours."
"That's right. What if his wife and child decide not to leave tonight?"
At this moment, the owner of the hand spoke up.
"They won't. He usually takes his child to the cram school at 5 PM. Let's wait a little longer."
"Still wait? No, Director Hou. Do you know what's going on now? Jumping off buildings has become the norm. Let me give you a friendly reminder. Our Director Zhao lives on the fourth floor. "
All of a sudden.
The man sat up straight.
Zhang Ye's face immediately appeared onscreen.
The subtitles appeared:
Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
— Hou Liangping.
He smiled and said, "Our Director Zhao has countless reasons to live a good life."
In just a few scenes.
In just a few conversations.
A thrilling anti-corruption scene was immediately shown!
…
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
A lot of people gasped.
Today was a two-part broadcast with no commercials in between.
Scenes of Zhao Dehan eating zhajiang noodles.
Scenes of the provincial leaders holding a meeting.
Scenes of the mastermind throwing away the SIM card.
Yao Jiancai as Secretary Li Dakang, Jiang Hanwei as Director Qi Tongwei, Dong Shanshan as Lu Yike. One by one, the actors appeared.
The money in the fridge.
The bills that were piled up on the bed after the bedsheets were lifted.
The money that was left on the wall behind the mural.
It was too shocking!
It gave Ning Lan, Yao Jiancai, Shu Han, and the others goosebumps!
In the entire studio, only the sound of Zhang Ye eating and drinking could be heard. Everyone else had thrown away their chopsticks at some point in time and were staring at the screen in shock, gasping for air!
They were the ones who filmed this?
This was filmed in just ten days?!
