The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 138: The premiere of "In the Name of the People" was a huge hit, sparking outrage across the internet! (Second update, please subscribe)
Friday daytime.

Everyone was talking about "In the Name of the People," which premiered tonight.

As the saying goes, some are happy, and some are sad.

The production team of the period drama "Ancient Sword Heroes" who has been in preparation for two years is feeling a little uneasy.

They had already set the release date a month ago.

Because this period drama was a big-budget production, it was even broadcast on a major television network.

It not only airs on Hunan TV, but also connects with two online video platforms.

It can be said that it has already gained a lot of attention even before it has started airing.

Who would have thought.

Suddenly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.

Song Hao's "In the Name of the People" suddenly emerged.

This alarmed the people behind "Gu Jian Xia Tan".

They all knew that Song Hao had been incredibly influential in the film industry last year.

Box office revenue is rising higher with each season.

Now we've moved into the realm of television dramas.

Nobody knows what will happen.

However, Song Wen, the director of "Ancient Sword Heroes", patted his chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, I have been preparing for this TV series for two years. I don't care how high Song Hao's box office success is. The time it takes to make a TV series is almost the same as that of a movie. If the quality is good, I will write my name backwards."

He reassured the investors, "Don't worry, we'll all start airing tonight, and then we'll know who the main character is!"

Song Wen was very confident.

He believes he has been working in the television drama field for a long time.

How could they possibly be defeated so easily by a film director who suddenly joined the project midway through?

This isn't a novel.

It's not that magical.

Song Wen even believes that Song Hao is probably just using this TV series to make a quick buck.

online.

Some people started discussing it.

"Tonight, 'Swords of Legends' and 'In the Name of the People' premiere at the same time. I don't know which one to watch."

"Of course I'll watch 'Swords of Legends'. I've been looking forward to this TV series for two years."

"Watch Song Hao's TV dramas."

"Both directors share the surname Song, so let's see who's more awesome."

"To be frank, director Song Hao's movies are indeed very well made, but his TV series are not necessarily so. Besides, he only spent more than two months filming a 50-episode TV series, while 'Ancient Sword Heroes' was prepared for two whole years."

"Besides, what's so great about anti-corruption dramas? Of course, I have to support director Song Wen's 'Ancient Sword Heroes'~ I want to watch a sweet ancient romance."

"There are quite a few TV dramas premiering tonight. I wonder how many ratings 'In the Name of the People' will get. If it gets 1%, that would be a success."

"It's not necessarily true. Song Hao still has considerable influence. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does."

Inside the anti-fraud bureau.

Director Zhang said to Zhou Shibao, "You should issue a notice later that everyone in the bureau must watch 'In the Name of the People' tonight."

"Yes, Director Zhang." Zhou Shibao immediately followed through.

When the people in the authorities learned that they would be watching Song Hao's TV series tonight, they weren't too surprised.

After all, Song Hao had visited the Anti-Fraud Bureau many times and had become friends with many of his colleagues.

Even if Director Zhang hadn't personally requested it, they would still support Song Hao's new TV series tonight.

After all, watching TV dramas is much more comfortable than listening to a leader read a script.

As for Director Lung of the Narcotics Bureau, he was even more direct.

Let the cadres at or above the section level in the bureau stay.

Let's organize a viewing of "In the Name of the People" together.

This has drawn criticism from some people.

After all, you can just go home and watch it.

Many staff members felt frustrated because they had to organize things together.

But there's nothing we can do; the leader's orders are absolute.

Unless you're as foolish as Yu Gong, don't think you can move it easily.

soon.

eight pm.

"In the Name of the People" has officially premiered.

At the same time, the popular TV series "Swords of Legends" on Hunan TV, iQiyi, and Tencent Video also premiered!

The storylines of the two TV series have officially begun.

"In the Name of the People" is quite direct.

Inside a disciplinary inspection vehicle, a conversation among several inspectors immediately clarified the whole story for everyone.

"Director Hou, I think we should act now. We've been waiting for almost two hours."

"Exactly, what if his wife and kids don't leave tonight?"

A project manager was reported for wrongdoing.

He embezzled millions.

When Hou Liangping from the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department came to search the place, he found an honest-looking, simply dressed "old farmer" eating noodles with soybean paste in a dilapidated old house.

The short two or three-minute scene surprised everyone.

"Holy crap, this is the corrupt official shown in the pilot video!!"

"Yes, that's him! I didn't realize!"

"My goodness, they're eating noodles with soybean paste over there."

However, some netizens had not seen the preview video.

When they saw these inspectors forcibly entering the homes of retired cadres.

I was a little confused for a moment.

After all, the home of this retired cadre in the picture is very simple, and it can be said that the most valuable home appliance is the television set.

Zhao Dehan, who plays the section chief, is skilled at scooping noodles with one hand and holding garlic with the other.

His simple image immediately won people's hearts.

"This shouldn't be an corrupt official, right?"

"I don't think so."

"That's right, what corrupt official would live in this building!"

"Exactly! Aren't all the corrupt officials I know going in and out of luxury buildings, drinking and having mistresses around them?"

Different voices have also emerged online.

at the same time.

Cadres from various bureaus were also watching this TV series.

When they saw Zhao Dehan's image, most of them were shocked.

Have corrupt officials all become like this nowadays?
As the plot unfolds...

Hou Liangping and his subordinates turned Zhao Dehan's house upside down.

But still no evidence has been found that he broke the law.

Zhao Dehan looked at them and sighed helplessly, "You're arresting corrupt officials, how come you've ended up arresting me?"

"Think about it, which corrupt official would live in a godforsaken place like mine?"

However, Hou Liangping and his group remained unmoved.

Zhao Dehan continued to persuade them, "I advise you not to waste your energy."

Then, Hou Liangping took Zhao Dehan to the office.

But still, nothing was gained.

This time.

Netizens are also curious.

Is this actually illegal?
Or was it just a bluff at the start?

However, some netizens still insist that Zhao Dehan is a major corrupt official.

"Don't be fooled by his simple appearance. There are scenes of him crying his heart out in the pilot video."

"Yes, you can watch the pilot video!"

"He's definitely a major corrupt official!!"

"I'm so angry! Fast forward!!"

"This is CCTV-8, I can't fast forward!!"

This episode is structured around multiple storylines.

So netizens are really hooked on it.

While discussing Zhao Dehan's fate, they also pondered who had tipped them off.

The airing of the TV series gradually increased the popularity of "In the Name of the People".

Song Hao, on the other hand, was paying attention to the leaderboard.

Because "In the Name of the People" didn't have enough time for promotion, despite its increased popularity, it still couldn't compare to those TV dramas that started promotion much earlier.

On Weibo's trending topics, most of the discussions revolve around other TV dramas.

Among them, the drama "Swords of Legends" has consistently ranked in the top three of trending searches.

But Song Hao thinks this is normal, after all, the show has a lot of publicity and a lot of online trolls are creating hype, so it was able to dominate the top three trending topics.

He believes that once the first episode ends, "In the Name of the People" will be able to climb into the top three.

really.

As the plot unfolds...

After the first episode ended, there was a 5-minute commercial break.

In these 5 minutes.

Netizens shared their thoughts on watching the show.

"My goodness, this show is so exciting right from the start."

"They're arresting division-level cadres right off the bat? This is outrageous!"

"Yes, all those anti-corruption dramas before, in the end they only caught a few small fry."

"If this is the starting point for cadres, it will likely grow bigger and bigger as time goes on."

"Wait a minute, I noticed that 'In the Name of the People' is now ranked fifth in popularity!"

A moment's work.

"In the Name of the People" quickly squeezed into the top ten of the real-time TV drama popularity rankings.

Fifth on the trending topics list!

This is already quite impressive for a director who has just entered the field of television dramas.

Netizens have been praising it.

"Director Song is amazing! He managed to get into the top ten with his first TV series."

"Yes, I didn't expect this show to be so addictive."

"You've only watched one episode and you're already praising it. What if you watch a couple more episodes and it doesn't feel right?"

"It can't possibly taste wrong."

"In the Name of the People is good, but have you noticed that Ancient Sword Heroes is even more amazing? It has already made it into the top three of the trending searches."

"But after watching a couple of episodes of 'Swords of Legends,' I felt the pacing was a bit slow."

"Yes, yes, I think so too, sister."

Just as everyone was discussing it.

The second episode of "In the Name of the People" has begun.

In the first episode, some people thought that Zhao Dehan was really wronged.

Despite his unassuming appearance, he was falsely accused of breaking the law.

However, it wasn't until Hou Liangping produced the third search warrant and led him to a luxury villa that he was taken to the scene.

Zhao Dehan's pale face made netizens realize immediately that they had been deceived.

Followed by.

The money in the refrigerator.

The bookshelf was covered with money.

Countless banknotes were neatly stacked in bundles.

That kind of impact.

You can't help but feel it if you don't watch the TV series.

These scenes further humiliated Zhao Dehan, causing him to weep and repent.

"See, I told you so, there was definitely something fishy going on."

"Yeah, didn't the pilot episode already show his cunning side?"

"It's hilarious. He even said he needed a mental evaluation to see if he was mentally ill. It's obvious he just wanted to escape."

"To still claim to be a farmer like this is simply a disgrace to farmers."

"How much must they have embezzled? I just can't understand it."

In cadre bureaus across the country, many people who witnessed this scene began to discuss it quietly.

You should know that some people break the law.

Just like in the TV drama.

At first, they vehemently denied it.

Each of them claimed to be a good employee who loves the country and the people.

But when the evidence is presented...

These people's psychological defenses will collapse.

At this point, they will try every means to seek leniency.

Although this is just a TV series.

But when Director Lung of the Anti-Drug Bureau saw this plot, he couldn't stop laughing.

"Good, well done!"

"These are all parasites and scoundrels."

"We'll grab anyone who dares to reach out."

"Xiao Song's filming is really good."

Everyone else in the department agreed.

"That's right, Director Song's filming is really good."

"We should film this kind of thing so that everyone can see it."

"Yes, once we've made the arrest, we need to analyze the situation."

It was the plot of the second episode that resonated with many people and evoked strong emotions.

The hype exploded!
It instantly soared to the top of Weibo's trending topics!
This left viewers who were watching other TV dramas completely dumbfounded.

"what happened?"

"How did they suddenly become number one?"

"Yes, is this an advertisement?"

"My goodness, this is so beautiful!"

"Upstairs, is it really good?"

"It's really beautiful."

“It feels so good.”

"This is a true veteran actor. He was pretending to be a simple person, eating noodles with soybean paste, but then he suddenly burst into tears."

No one expected that Song Hao would actually film such a unique anti-corruption drama.

You should know that in their eyes, anti-corruption dramas are only for grandparents and grandpas.

But this time, it's clearly different.

It almost completely overturned everyone's impression of anti-corruption dramas.

This has piqued the curiosity of viewers who were originally watching other TV dramas.

Isn't it an anti-corruption drama?
Is that an exaggeration?
Therefore, many netizens went to watch.

For a while.

Something's not right.

You know, the fans of "Swords of Legends" are full of confidence and are determined to take the top spot in the ratings on the first day of its premiere!
They have no worries whatsoever about "In the Name of the People".

After all, how could Song Hao, a self-taught director, possibly compete with Song Wen, who had been preparing for the TV series for two years?

but now.

The situation has changed.

This anti-corruption drama really has a chance to defeat "Swords of Legends".

soon.

The two episodes have finished airing.

"In the Name of the People" has accomplished its mission that night.

Two episodes will be broadcast every night thereafter.

But netizens were not happy.

"Damn, you've only released two episodes, who's going to watch that?"

"I'll give you a number: 20 episodes a day, hurry up."

"Yeah, it's at least four episodes a day, I want to see what happens next."

"It's numb, it's numb."

Looks like I'll have to follow the updates every day.

"I think I'll read some novels first. Does anyone have any recommendations for light novels?"

The first two episodes of "In the Name of the People" were so explosive that they "outraged" netizens.

Many complained that there were too few episodes on the first day.

They went to Song Hao's Weibo.

We strongly request additional episodes.

Song Hao immediately posted on Weibo to explain: "I understand everyone's feelings. Who decided on two episodes a day?! I'm going to go beat him up right now. Oh, it was me. Never mind then."

This Weibo post really infuriated netizens, who were itching to express their anger.

"You, Director Song, the first two episodes were so good, are you out of your mind?"

"You're making those TV drama directors very embarrassed."

"Hahaha, it seems that it's quite feasible for film directors to switch to television dramas."

"I wonder if 'In the Name of the People' can take the top spot in the ratings tonight."

"I think it's a bit difficult, after all, there's a TV series called 'Swords of Legends' next door."

In everyone's eyes, "In the Name of the People" is very good, but the blockbuster next door is better than it in terms of traffic and publicity, as well as the popularity of the actors.

Song Wenye, the director of "The Legend of the Ancient Swordsman", is also very confident.

He knew that "In the Name of the People" had received a lot of positive reviews after its premiere, but he believed that his work was still the top-rated show today!
Soon, midnight approached.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

The first day of the broadcast was incredibly exciting and tense.

Everyone wants to see which TV series will top the ratings!
