Shanghai Television.
"It's out!"
"The viewership ratings for the first and second episodes of Heavens of the Gods are 1.43%!"
"It's okay, but it's still a bit different from what I expected."
"Yeah, I thought the premiere episode would surpass 1.7%!"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know. His reputation is really good."
"It must have been shared by Age of Kingdoms and Rivers."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Two commercial blockbusters are premiering at the same time, so they'll definitely fight for the viewership. Oh right, what's the viewership of 'Age of Kingdoms'?"
"Let me see. Ah, 1.42%, almost the same as us."
"But it's still lower than ours!"
"It's fine as long as we can beat Age of Kingdoms."
"Yes, it doesn't matter how much we win, we just have to get first place in the country."
"Wait, f * ck!"
"What happened?"
"Quick, look at the viewership ratings for In the Name of the People!"
…
At Chi Hao's studio.
"The viewership ratings have been announced!"
"We have 1.42%!"
"Oh no, Heavens of the Gods has taken the lead!"
"They only have 0.01 more viewership ratings than us!"
"Damn it! How could this be!"
"What a pity, just a little bit more!"
"It's okay. There are still chances later. Everyone is on the same starting line now. Even if they get first place in the country first, it's okay."
"F * ck!"
"Old He, what's wrong?"
"Heavens of the Gods is not number one in viewership ratings!"
"What did you say?"
"How is that possible!"
"Oh my god! Quickly take a look at the viewership ratings for Zhang Ye's new drama! "
…
Online.
The viewership ratings were announced.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
# 1: In the Name of the People, 1.62% viewership rating!
Second: Heavens of the Gods, 1.43%!
Third: Age of Kingdoms, 1.42%!
At this moment, the jaws of countless people in the country almost dropped. A creepy feeling rose from the bottom of everyone's heart, catching them off guard!
…
Central Publicity Department.
"What?"
"What the hell!"
"This — this —"
"We're first?"
"The political drama has suppressed the commercial drama?"
"My God! Minister Wu's lover is going to defy the heavens! "
"Is this for real?"
"It doesn't make sense! This doesn't make any sense! "
…
Young Master Li's studio.
Everyone was shocked and furious.
"F * ck!"
"What's going on?"
"It's fine if 'Age of Kingdoms' is number one, but why is it a political drama?"
"What kind of magic did that Zhang guy use?"
"A bunch of has-been celebrities and a low-budget political drama. How can it compare to a commercial drama? How did they do it? Is that Zhang guy on steroids? "
…
Beijing Television.
"Director Zhang is too ruthless!"
"He's ascending to the heavens!"
"I knew it. I knew that Director Zhang was still as good as ever!"
"Who says that Director Zhang is old? Who said that Director Zhang couldn't do it? Fuck his grandma! "
"So what if four years have passed? Zhang Ye is still the same Zhang Ye! "
"Awesome! That's awesome! "
"I'm stunned. This is even more shocking than Director Zhang taking the title of Grand Champion for five seasons of I Am a Singer. This is Director Zhang's first time directing a TV series. This is Director Zhang's debut TV series!"
…
The media.
"F * ck your lungs!"
"This is too amazing!"
"We've all made a mistake this time. Everyone has made a mistake this time!"
"Zhang Ye is really still the same Zhang Ye!"
"I knew it. How could this fellow possibly get smacked in the face! He's always been the one smacking others in the face! "
"This slap from Zhang Ye has slapped everyone!"
…
On Weibo.
"Your sister!"
"Teacher Zhang, have you gone crazy!"
"Even Li Shao and Chi Hao couldn't beat you together?"
"I'm going crazy! What the fuck is going on? "
"Those are the two most popular male idols we're talking about! They're the two closest to becoming an S-list Heavenly King! If they can't stop Zhang Ye, then who can? "
"This fellow is really a shit stirrer!"
"Li Shao and Chi Hao have probably gone crazy with this pile of shit stirring up!"
"I don't think it's just them. I think everyone else has gone crazy as well!"
"Zhang Ye is too awesome! As expected of the king of crossovers! "
…
At Xu Meilan's Studio.
"Sister Lan!"
"What's the matter?"
"The viewership ratings are out! Teacher Zhang, he — he's gotten first place in the country! "
"What?"
"We're safe now! Teacher Zhang is indeed a man of his word. He's really helped us this time. Li Shao and Chi Hao must have been beaten senseless. He's really taken a political drama that no one has any confidence in and destroyed two blockbuster commercial dramas. Teacher Zhang is too heaven-defying! "
…
The cast members of In the Name of the People looked at each other and felt their blood boiling.
"Holy shit!"
"Director Zhang has really done it!"
"Yeah, Zhang'er has really done it!"
"Are we going to be popular?"
"Hahahaha, I knew that acting in his TV series would definitely be the right choice!"
"Fuck, Sister Ning, you even said that you would never act in Director Zhang's dramas again."
"What? Did I say that? "
…
At a Heavenly King's studio.
Silence.
Everyone in the room was silent.
"So this is Zhang Ye?"
"This is that legendary Heavenly King?"
"This is too scary!"
"He can even make a political drama like this? I suddenly understand how much pressure those celebrities of Zhang Ye's era must have felt! "
…
Back at home.
His mother said angrily, "You call this low? Low, my ass! "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's much lower than I expected."
His father was stunned. "Then how high did you expect it to be?"
Zhang Ye casually said, "It's just the beginning. Let's see what happens next."
Chenchen said angrily, "Zhang Ye, can you stop bragging!"
Zhang Ye chuckled. "Let's wait and see. This bit of viewership ratings is nothing to this bro."
"Daddy, Daddy!" Sisi said anxiously, "Did you win?"
Zhang Ye smiled and picked up his daughter to give her a big kiss. "Of course. When has your daddy ever lost?"
…
The country was dumbfounded!
The media was dumbfounded!
The industry was dumbfounded!
The people were dumbfounded!
The 1.62% viewership rating of In the Name of the People was actually not the highest in the TV series industry in recent years. It wasn't like there had never been a drama with a viewership rating of over 2%. Last year, there was even a blockbuster drama with a Heavenly King who managed to achieve a viewership rating of 3%. That shocked countless people in the industry. Compared to the nationwide viewership rating of 1.62%, it didn't seem like much. But in reality, that wasn't the case. The 1.62% viewership rating was only for the premiere episode. It was only the viewership ratings for the first and second episodes of In the Name of the People. The premiere episode of Heavenly King Guan Zhaohua's drama also did not have a viewership rating of 1.62%. It was only around 1.6%. Moreover, there was something that couldn't be compared to that. Guan Zhaohua's blockbuster drama with heaven-defying viewership ratings did not have much of a competitor in its time slot!
But what about In the Name of the People?
Before that, there was Heavens of the Gods!
After that, there was Age of Kingdoms!
And it even managed to achieve a viewership rating of 1.62%?
This was a completely different concept!
