In the Name of the People was on fire!
In just one night, it became popular all over the country!
"Heavens of the Gods" and "Age of Kingdoms" were no longer discussed by anyone. Right now, everyone was talking about In the Name of the People!
In the morning.
Zhang Ye's cell phone kept ringing.
A film company came looking for him.
"Director Zhang."
"Director Liu."
"I want to make an appointment with you for a movie."
"Let's talk about it later. I'm not going to film anymore."
"Let's invest. Is 200 million enough? You have the final say in the entire movie. We promise not to interfere with the script, casting, and filming. Think about it. "
"Ha, we'll see."
Central TV also called.
"Teacher Zhang, what will you be filming for your next show?"
"Director Sun, where is the next show?"
"Hurry up and decide."
"What are you doing?"
"We'll buy it when it's done. We've known each other for so many years and you're an old friend of Central TV. You must give us your next show."
"Besides, I don't even have a plan."
"If you have a plan, contact us first. Let's talk about it."
After finishing the call, Zhang Ye saw that someone had @ -ed him.
Celebrity Goof Group:
Shu Han: "@ ZhangYe, the movie contracts have exploded."
Dong Shanshan: "I've already been approached by six shows. They all seem pretty good, but I don't know which one to take."
Ning Lan said, "I've found quite a number of people here too. Some are reliable, and some aren't."
A former A-list celebrity said enviously, "You guys are really popular this time."
Shu Han sent a smiley face. "I'm just following Director Zhang around."
Zhang Ye came out and typed: "Don't answer it yet. If you want to answer it, wait a little longer."
Dong Shanshan: "Do you think it can go up another level?"
Shu Han: "Don't tell me you really want the ratings to exceed 3%? That's the highest record for a TV series in recent years. It was set by Guan Zhaohua's drama last year. "
Zhang Ye: "In any case, I just know that the viewership ratings are far below my expectations."
Shu Han: "You even thought about 4%?"
Ning Lan said, "It's already pretty good if it's over 3%."
Zhang Ye smiled without saying a word.
3%?
4%?
If it were the variety market, Zhang Ye wouldn't have dared to say that. After all, in this world, the variety market's share was only so big. Back when Zhang Ye was in the past, he had basically reached his limit. Perhaps the viewership ratings could still be increased a little, but there was definitely a limit to it. But it was different this time. This was the television series market, a field that was even bigger than the variety market. Zhang Ye's expectations were naturally raised. Moreover, he knew what kind of highest viewership ratings In the Name of the People had achieved in his previous world.
That was a frightening viewership rating!
A viewership rating that none of them dared to imagine!
So Zhang Ye decided not to say anything. He was afraid of scaring them.
…
Jiang Hanwei's house.
Old Jiang's wife was extremely excited.
"Old Jiang, should we treat Zhang Ye to a meal?"
"What food?"
"You two fought to such an extent back then, we need to ease up our relationship."
"There's no need."
"You stubborn fool, why do you always have such a temper? Let's not talk about who was right or wrong back then. When Teacher Zhang was released from prison, the first person he looked for was you. Why didn't he look for someone else? That's their trust in your acting skills. Look at how many TV series are looking for you today! It's all because of his help, so we have to thank him no matter what. "
"There's no need for that. If Zhang Ye was someone who could handle a meal or two, would his popularity in the entertainment industry have been so bad all those years? I know what I'm doing. He was the one who helped me this time, so I owe him a favor. There's no need to keep saying such things. I'll definitely repay him in the future. "
"Hai, you!"
…
At a gathering in the industry.
"It's really a big surprise this time."
"Li Shao and Chi Hao are done for."
"Yeah, who could have expected that the viewership ratings would be like this? With I Am a Singer and In the Name of the People, Zhang Ye's return this time has really stunned the male idols. He's also slapped the faces of those in the industry who didn't think highly of him. I reckon that Zhang Ye will be hated by those male idols for the rest of their lives."
"Actually, I feel that a lot of the male idols should be thanking him."
"Why?"
"If Zhang Ye hadn't left the entertainment industry for three or four years, the male idols wouldn't have gotten so popular in recent years. This can be seen from just one TV series. If Zhang Ye were still around, if Zhang Ye had been around all these years, which male idols would have been able to beat him? It's because of his departure that they've been given a chance. Shouldn't they be thanking him for that? "
"Zhang Ye is such a freak!"
"Yeah, if he were around, who would dare say that they could beat him?"
…
In the advertising world.
"This advertising campaign of Zhang Ye's is too shameless."
"Yeah, he's just adding subtitles and pictures to the advertisement! This is pure hard advertising! "
"But it's very effective. Moreover, it's different from product placement. It's a standalone advertisement that doesn't affect the plot."
"He's too strange. He can always come up with something that no one else would ever dare to think of."
"I have a feeling that the advertising model of In the Name of the People is going to become a new trend. The other TV series' advertisements might follow suit."
…
At a film company.
"Just what's so successful about this TV series?"
"I think it's the script and acting skills."
"Does anyone really care about acting skills these days?"
"In recent years, the male idols have had too much of an influence on the entertainment industry. A lot of things have been led astray by them. Zhang Ye has taught everyone a lesson this time. Not every TV series needs to rely on male idols to make a living. If the script is good, the filming is good, and the acting skills are good, they can still sweep away everything."
…
On Weibo.
The netizens were also predicting the viewership ratings.
"It's going to be airing again today."
"Can it exceed 3%?"
"It should be possible, right?"
"That might not be the case. This momentum is too strong. Can it be sustained?"
"In the battle between the three TV series, In the Name of the People has clearly won. The only thing that remains to be seen is how much The People will be able to win, and to what extent."
…
One day.
Three days.
Five days.
The TV series continued airing.
The viewership ratings continued to be released.
Again and again, everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped!
Everyone was nearly scared to death by the viewership ratings of In the Name of the People every day!
In the Name of the People's viewership ratings:
Episode 6: 2.82%
Episode 7: 2.98%
Episode 9: 3.21%
Episode 13: 3.78%
Episode 15: 4.33%
Episode 20: 5.10%
Episode 23: 5.69%
Episode 28: 5.86%
There were still more than a dozen episodes to go, but In the Name of the People's viewership ratings had almost broken 6%. And from the looks of it, it was likely to continue rising!
The media was going crazy!
The male idols were going crazy!
The film companies were also going crazy!
In recent years, the highest viewership ratings for a TV series was Guan Zhaohua's blockbuster drama that got 3% last year. But Zhang Ye had actually doubled the TV series industry's viewership ratings!
Fuck your sister!
A lot of people were cursing at this point!
This was way too high! How the fuck were others going to continue playing in the future!
