Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Many restaurant owners along the street were also fans of the song, so they simply started playing it. 👮🔥 ❻➈ˢ𝐇ùЖ.𝔠𝐎爪🎁🐊 They discovered that this actually increased their popularity.

Many customers are like this.

They were just passing by and taking a casual look.

Once you start watching, you can't stop.

While watching their favorite shows, customers unknowingly ordered a lot of food. Zhang Shijie is just that kind of person; today, his boss made him stay to work overtime again, without pay.

He doesn't have many hobbies except watching TV dramas. Recently, he has become obsessed with "The Beginning". This weekend, he originally planned to take a taxi home immediately after work to catch up on the latest episode.

Because he really liked Li Shiqing.

Such a kind, gentle, strong, and courageous girl.

It's absolutely gorgeous!

Moreover, the female lead portrayed in "The Beginning" is a typical college student, not so aloof, which makes it feel very real to him.

Li Shiqing, a female college student, is cheerful, gentle, kind, and strong. Despite considering fleeing during the repeated bus explosions, she never gave up the opportunity to save lives.

Zhang Shijie still remembers what Li Shiqing shouted.

"The most outrageous thing I can imagine is saving everyone on this bus." and "Try one more time! If the loop ends, that will be the last chance for these people to live."

When Zhang Shijie saw Li Shiqing speaking these words with tears in her eyes, he was moved by a character for the first time, and instantly became a fan of Lin Miaomiao.

However, Zhang Shijie also has to praise the script of "The Beginning".

He finally met a normal female lead in a TV drama.

Finally, she is not a Mary Sue, not a love-struck fool, kind but not morally manipulative, brave but not a saintly naive, persistent and strong, and full of perseverance and action.

More importantly, aside from being repeatedly trapped in a loop, she has no other "golden touch," making her an ordinary college girl convincingly the true backbone of the entire series.

In terms of character design, she can be considered to be at the pinnacle of domestic drama heroines in recent years.

Otherwise, you might think this requirement sounds simple. Just look at the female lead of "Meteor Shower Again," which aired around the same time, and you'll understand.

He once waited for the next episode of "Beginning" to be released.

He randomly switched to Hunan TV.

The female lead's character was just too outrageous.

You weren't particularly beautiful, and you never gave any of the four rich young men a kind look, yet every single one of them fell in love with the female lead as if they were under a spell.

Although Zhang Shijie knew he couldn't expect too much from an idol drama.

But at least it shouldn't be so detached from reality.

Just like before, the male lead also opposed Li Shiqing's decision to call the police and wanted to act separately from her. 🎁☟ 69s𝕙υ𝕏.Ⓒ๏𝐌 ♟😾 At that time, Li Shiqing was very angry, and the details of her anger were portrayed very well.

At that moment, not only were her lips trembling, but her eyes were also starting to redden.

This was one of the few times Li Shiqing had gotten angry, but after this cycle, she didn't blame everyone else for the problems. Instead, she immediately reflected on her own actions.

Although this is not a very remarkable thing.

But this detail reveals the character's strengths.

Li Shiqing gives the impression of being both emotional and rational. She is not aggressive just because her intentions are good, nor does she impose blame on others just because the responsibility does not lie with her.

Who wouldn't like such an understanding and considerate female lead?

So, he, who is usually very frugal, decided to take a taxi home instead of the subway to watch the show, just so he could see the latest episodes as soon as possible.

After all, the previous episode, "The Beginning," was really abrupt and melodramatic, ending right at the most crucial point, leaving him feeling uneasy and unable to let go of Li Shiqing's crisis.

However, the dog owner almost missed it, but luckily he happened to see "The Beginning" playing in the restaurant.

Isn't this a case of "when one door closes, another opens"?

Now I can watch TV shows while eating.

He ordered half a dozen beers and a few snacks to go with them.

The seventh episode of "The Beginning" has finally begun.

The culprit behind the No. 45 bus explosion—Aunt Guo—was also revealed to all the viewers. Aunt Guo's incredible performance certainly gave Zhang Shijie a big shock.

He prides himself on being bold.

She even enjoys watching horror movies.

But he was still frightened.

How so?

Zhang Shijie could only describe this performance in three words.

A sense of oppression!

The sense of oppression was too strong.

They're the type who tremble all over just by looking at you.

Especially Aunt Guo—with her thin face, light body, high cheekbones, and deep-set eyes—was a nightmare to behold. She was terrifying when the male lead made eye contact with her. She was also terrifying when she made eye contact with the driver.

Aunt Guo was terrifying when she stabbed someone with a knife.

Zhang Shijie was indeed frightened.

Her numb and cold expression, and the violent look in her excited yet all-consuming manner, always gave Zhang Shijie goosebumps.

The plot later revealed the reason for her madness.

She couldn't accept the unclear cause of her daughter Wang Mengmeng's death; all she wanted was the truth. Over the past five years, through her own efforts, she seemed to have gotten a little closer to the truth.

She was convinced that her daughter, Wang Mengmeng, had been sexually assaulted in the car, which caused her mental breakdown and led to her frantic act of grabbing the steering wheel. ♟✎ ➅❾𝔰н𝕌ˣ.ςόΜ 👻♪

The video of Wang Mengmeng grabbing the steering wheel was posted online as a parody, which was the final straw that broke Tao Yinghong's back.

For the past five years, her only motivation to live as a mother has been:

The goal is to find out the truth and clear my daughter's name.

But no one was willing to listen to her, no one was willing to overturn the case for her. In despair, she decided to find her daughter and reunite with her in this way, and she wanted to take revenge on the indifferent people on the bus.

Zhang Shijie fell silent upon seeing this.

I was initially hesitant to utter any insults or curses at her.

But when he learned why Aunt Guo was so persistent, and everything that had happened to her daughter for Mengmeng, Zhang Shijie thought about how he also had a daughter, and he instantly understood Aunt Guo's actions.

Anyway, if anyone dares to harm his daughter, Zhang Shijie will risk his life to seek justice. If his daughter suffers the same fate as Wang Mengmeng, he might also end up on the same path as Aunt Guo.

This also made Zhang Shijie admire her eyes.

When her child died, she went crazy but not hysterical; during her private investigation, her persistence, neuroticism, and restraint were well balanced; when she blew up the car, her resoluteness, calm acceptance of death, and eventual liberation...

She acted very reasonably, without being pretentious at all.

She was playing a madwoman, yet her behavior patterns were all logically sound. Zhang Shijie thought the previous actor, Officer Zhang, was already excellent, but he never expected the subsequent actors to deliver such phenomenal and phenomenal performances.

As expected, the surprises are always in the next episode.

He downed the rest of the beer in one gulp, then opened the "Beginning" forum on his phone and found that many people were already posting and discussing it.

Someone asked, "I'm so anxious! It always stops at the crucial moment." Two episodes a week for "The Beginning" isn't enough! He's eager to see how the protagonist turns the tide; the wait is agonizing!

Some viewers were also angry that in the multiple loops, the protagonists went all out to rescue others each time, but while they were fighting so hard against Aunt Pot, the other passengers acted "indifferently".

When Li Shiqing was stabbed by her aunt, almost all the passengers stood frozen in the "safe zone," and some even tried to stop the rescue. The two of them kept trying to save her, but no one was willing to help them.

The protagonist retaliates but receives no help. He accidentally kills the other person but is then treated as the villain by the other passengers. The savior becomes the "murderer." In both cycles, the passengers seem to "ignore" the tragedy.

It's absolutely heartbreaking.

Seeing so many people discussing it, and having drunk quite a bit of beer, Zhang Shijie also began to share his thoughts on "The Beginning":

"The Beginning is a good start, but the cycle won't end so quickly. After watching the latest two episodes, I found that many people are criticizing Aunt Guo and even Wang Mengmeng."

"Why didn't she get out of the car and resist immediately after being injured? Why did she have to grab the steering wheel on the bridge...?" What's the difference between our current comments and those that drove her to her death?

I'd also like to ask you this: if Wang Mengmeng were your own friend or family member, would you condemn her for being weak and ignorant in your eyes, or would you condemn the perpetrator for deserving to die?

The darkness within humanity knows no bounds... so breaking this cycle is truly difficult.

…………

There are many viewers like Zhang Shijie.

Of course, everyone has a different opinion on "The Beginning".

Some viewers even felt that in the later loops, "The Beginning" wasn't as amazing as it was at the beginning.

But when the ratings for "The Beginning" came out...

5%!

It continues to dominate the top spot in the viewership ratings!

This is the dominance that "The Beginning" demonstrates.

It topped the ratings charts in its first week and held the number one spot for four consecutive weeks. Especially this week, the strong dark horse of the ratings, "Vive L'Amour," is also vying for attention.

But it was all in vain... they still held a significant lead. This gap was practically impossible to overcome, and it seemed that "The Beginning" would achieve even higher ratings.

Perhaps it's too early to call it the year's top drama, after all, there are still more than half a year to go. Who knows, it's not impossible that some monster-level drama will emerge again.

But the viewership rating broke 20%!

"The Beginning" is undoubtedly a national-level TV series.

Now, those self-media and entertainment editors who were pessimistic about "The Beginning" have all changed their tune. Making money by driving traffic is not shameful, especially when it comes to such a popular TV series.

No one could remain silent any longer.

Despite the hype surrounding "Vive L'Amour" the previous week, claiming it was the dark horse most likely to beat "Beginning," the ratings have now been released.

They unanimously changed direction and devoted their attention to "The Beginning" once again.

"The Beginning" raises the issue of cyberbullying and attempts to answer it. When something illogical happens, it is acceptable to ask questions.

However, do not jump to conclusions. "Do not comment without knowing the whole story" should be the bottom line of online literacy.

In "The Beginning," after learning the stories of the strangers on the bus, the female protagonist becomes even more determined to save them.

When they are truly seen, these people are no longer strangers who have nothing to do with them, but "one of us" with flesh and blood.

Therefore, "The Beginning" offers two answers to combating cyberbullying: the explicit one is improving online literacy, while the deeper one is seeing, showing humanistic concern and love for others.

—Entertainer's Daily, by the author "The Cat Who Loves to Eat Fish".

"The popularity of 'The Beginning' undoubtedly hits the mark on social reality: the situation is complex and misunderstandings are rampant, and sometimes it is impossible to prove oneself, but we still persevere and carefully seek proof."

Despite the difficulties and setbacks, the outcome will ultimately lead to the resolution of real-world problems and the realization of justice.

People are capable individuals, no longer helpless in the face of major events. What the audience cherishes is precisely this constructive energy that descends upon the ordinary people in "The Beginning".

—A commentator's article in the People's Daily

"Rather than calling 'The Beginning' a suspense drama or a science fiction drama, it is more accurate to call it a slice-of-life drama, because its unconventional setting is wrapped in the pursuit of kindness, justice, and a good social order."

"The Beginning" showcases the power of ordinary people, and this realistic and heartwarming core touches the hearts of the audience, which is why the show is so popular.

Jiangzhou TV will continue to support and invest in innovative content, exploring more innovative and diversified ways to present its content. —Ouyang Tai, Director of Jiangzhou TV.

There are also many negative reviews about "The Beginning".

After all, you can eat your fill of meat, but you still have to leave some soup for your competitors. However, in the following weeks, the ratings for "Beginning" became even more unreasonable.

After episodes 8 and 9 of "The Beginning" aired, the viewership rating was 1%. After episodes 9 and 10 of "The Beginning" aired, the viewership rating was 23%.

For two consecutive weeks, the ratings for "The Beginning" remained terrifying.

However, the growth rate has slowed down significantly, since it is very difficult to increase the ratings by even 1 percentage point after 20 p.m.

In fact, when the eighth episode of "The Beginning" aired, many TV stations couldn't sit still. They started finding fault with it and even joined forces to attack "The Beginning".

Unfortunately, the momentum of "The Beginning" has already been established!

Such tricks were completely ineffective, and when the finale of "Beginning" aired, the ratings reached an absurd 8%.

Now the media has completely fallen silent.

This is such an outrageous achievement, and countless fans of "The Beginning" are also proud of it. This is an unprecedented ratings record in the past decade!

However, unlike the average viewer, the various television stations were focused on a different record. To be precise, on a different person.

That's Li Haoyu. Although he didn't have many works compared to many others, with only one Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and one variety show.

But in every field, his achievements are remarkable. Now he has another representative work, a TV series, and has once again reached the top.

This man's talent seems inexhaustible. As his opponent, such an enemy is truly terrifying. No one knows what miracles he might create next.

This is absolutely outrageous!
