Chapter 1571: 1571
On the same day .
The news spread like wildfire .
"Astonishing turnaround!"
"In the Name of the People bucks the trend to take the top spot!"
"A double-win in both reputation and viewership ratings!"
"The biggest dark horse appears in the TV industry!"
"Has springtime arrived for political dramas?"
"Shock! Commercial dramas unable to beat a political drama?"
Back at home .
Zhang Ye's phone was exploding with calls .
Xu Meilan called .
"Zhang'er . "
"Hey, Sister Lan . "
"Thanks . "
"Haha, you're welcome . "
"Oh you, you're great . Congratulations . "
Soon after, Supervisor Ke from the Central Publicity Department also called .
"Teacher Zhang, have you seen the viewership ratings yet?"
"I've already seen it, Supervisor Ke . "
"It's amazing! No one expected that the viewership ratings would be so high . Great work, Teacher Zhang . The higher-ups are praising this production of yours nonstop and giving it their affirmation . We knew that it was definitely the right move to choose you as the director . "
"It was nothing . You all put in the money while I put in the effort . It's only fair . "
Xiaodong called .
"Teacher Zhang, hurry up and tell me about what happens later on in the story . "
"I can't do that . It's a secret . "
"Aiya, you're making me so anxious . "
"Haha, the next episodes will be broadcasting tonight . "
In the evening, In the Name of the People, Heavens of the Gods, and Age of Kingdoms' third and fourth episodes broadcast again at the same time . The three dramas were facing off against one another once more!
…
In the Name of the People's third episode .
Beijing .
Dijingyuan Villas .
On the wall, under the blanket, there were stacks and stacks of money!
"Chief Hou, everything is here . I was too scared to spend a single cent . "
"Does your wife know about this house and all this money?"
"She doesn't know, I didn't tell her about it . I was afraid that she'd worry about me . Chief Hou, do you think I'll get leniently dealt with? My son is still young . What would happen to them if I went to jail for this?"
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it? You've only been chief for four years, but you got greedy—just how much is this?"
"266,576,400,40 yuan . "
"You remember it perfectly, don't you?"
"I kept accounts . I recorded every single transaction . But I was too afraid to spend it . Not even a single cent . "
…
Meanwhile .
A few of the supporting cast members of In the Name of the People gathered together .
"This is so impactful!"
"The plot is so tense . "
"The storyline is very good too . It's amazing . "
"It didn't feel like this when we were filming it . It felt like a very ordinary shoot at the time, with us changing the shooting venue after every few scenes were completed . It was a very rushed process like we were on a guided tour, so how did it end up looking so good? It was the case for yesterday, and today's two episodes as well . "
"That's why Teacher Zhang is the director . "
"I just wonder how Director Zhang is so good at everything!"
…
Elsewhere .
At Li Shao's studio .
"Our episodes today were quite good . "
"Right, we can go higher in the viewership ratings for sure!"
"Can we catch up to In the Name of the People?"
"It will definitely catch up . Actually, there wasn't much of a difference between us for the first two episodes . "
"That's right . A political drama has limitations . How many past examples have proven that a political drama does not last? They only managed to do it this time because of the hype surrounding Zhang Ye's victory on I Am a Singer . The momentum from that led to all the attention on his drama . That was the reason why they managed to secure an opening victory . I don't believe that every episode of In the Name of the People will get higher viewership ratings than us . Let's see how long they'll last!"
"We'll be able to know that by the end of today!"
…
At Chi Hao's studio .
Everyone was getting anxious as well .
"Let's go for first place!"
"We have to catch up tonight no matter what . Otherwise, it will be too late . "
"How can it be possible that our popularity doesn't match up to Zhang Ye's? That makes no sense at all!"
"I'll admit that the first two episodes of In the Name of the People are good . But this is Zhang Ye's first time shooting and acting in a drama production . It must be full of flaws . They wrapped up filming in just 10 days, so it's impossible that every episode can be that good . We'll wait and see . There will definitely be mistakes later, and we'll be able to catch up!"
"Right, a political drama doesn't have such a long lifespan anyway . "
