We asked you to make an anti-corruption film, but you made one in the name of the people!

The wrap party lasted until almost 10 p.m.

Fan left first, while his assistant waited at the door.

He put on his coat, walked up to Lin Mo, and shook hands.

"Director Lin, I made the right choice coming to this film."

Lin Mo stood up: "Teacher Fan, it's my honor that you could come."

Fan waved his hand, picked up his thermos and left. But when he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Call me for the premiere."

Xu Yajun and Zhang Yi left together.

Xu Yajun shook hands with Lin Mo, said nothing formal, and simply said, "Director Lin, if there's a suitable role for my next film, I'll come back."

Zhang Yi stood to the side, still the same as before, nodded, and said two words: "Director Lin, I'm leaving."

When Zhao Liying left, her agent was already waiting in the car. She had changed back into her own clothes—a beige sweater, with her hair down.

She shook hands with Lin Mo and said in a low voice, "Director Lin, I will remember the character Hao Xiuping for the rest of my life."

Lei Jiayin and Ma Li were the last to leave.

Lei Jiayin had drunk a bit too much, her face flushed, and she held onto Lin Mo's hand tightly: "Director Lin, the character Han Ming—I've been acting for over ten years, and this is the first time I haven't wanted to say goodbye to a character after finishing one."

Ma Li pulled him aside, saying, "Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental, or it'll be dawn."

She helped Lei Jiayin into the car, then got in herself, leaned out the window, and shouted to Lin Mo, "Director Lin! Remember to call me if there's a suitable role for your next film! It doesn't have to be the lead!"

The car drove away.

Before leaving, Aruna ran back one last time and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Lin Mo's hand: "Director Lin, if I get ambushed and beaten up after this show airs, you have to prove to me that you're the one who made me act in it."

"OK."

"real?"

"Fake."

Aru's face fell, and Lin Mo patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the audience is criticizing Liu Wenjing, not you."

"They criticized me quite a bit when 'The Storm' aired."

"That's because you acted well."

Aruna thought about it and felt that it didn't seem quite right, but when the car arrived, he waved and ran away.

Old Zhao stood at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, his face as red as Guan Yu's from drinking. He had his arm around Lin Mo's shoulder and his tongue was practically slurred: "Director Lin, it's the fourth one! We've got one—two—three—four—fourth one!"

"I know, four parts."

"The fifth installment will be released next year!"

"OK."

As the stagehand, Xiao Liu, helped Old Zhao into the car, he was still shouting, "Fifth movie! Fifth movie!"

Lin Mo stood under the streetlight, watching the last car drive away.

In Langfang in October, the wind picked up at night, and there weren't many people on the streets. The lights in the hot pot restaurant were still on, and the waiters inside were clearing away tables.

He wrapped his coat tighter, took out his phone, typed a line of text, and then deleted it.

Finally, I posted a message on my WeChat Moments with just four words: "Filming wrapped up, thanks."

Less than ten minutes later, Zhao Liying posted on Weibo.

The accompanying picture is the group photo from the wrap party—Lin Mo is pulled to the very center, with Fan on the left and Zhao Liying on the right, Lei Jiayin and Ma Li squatting in front, Gao Ye and Aruna squeezed on either side, Zhang Yi and Xu Yajun standing in the back row, and everyone is laughing.

The caption reads: "Hao Xiuping can't speak, but she has something to say. #MovieTwenty# Filming has wrapped."

The comments section exploded instantly.

"Liying, you're playing a mute girl? And you don't have any lines at all?!"

"The most difficult roles are those without lines. Keep it up, Liying."

"Appearing without makeup? Is this Zhao Liying?? It took me ages to recognize her."

"Sister, this look is too harsh. I'm starting to feel sorry for Hao Xiuping."

Lei Jiayin followed suit immediately.

The accompanying photo is of him posing with the monitor—the monitor image freezes on Han Ming leaning over the hearing podium, his hands supporting the edge of the table, with the caption: "Han Ming, a prosecutor working in the cracks, never backing down, #MovieArticleTwenty#".

The tone of the comments section suddenly changed.

"Brother Lei, you're playing a prosecutor?? Didn't you used to be a comedian??"

"When did Director Lin ever make a mistake in casting?"

"I'm already looking forward to seeing Da Tou play a prosecutor."

"Han Ming is such an ordinary name, but an ordinary person doing extraordinary things—that's what Director Lin excels at."

Ma Li followed suit, posting a photo of herself and Lei Jiayin eating boxed lunches on set. Lei Jiayin had half a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, while Ma Li made a face at the camera. The caption read: "After acting in comedies for half my life, this is my first time acting in a serious drama. Han Ming and Li Maojuan, a couple who can't seem to break up despite their arguments. Thank you, Director Lin. #MovieTitle20#"

The photo posted on the page was of a uniform.

She stood in the corridor, wearing a prosecutor's dark blue uniform. Sunlight streamed in through the window, shading her figure into two halves, one bright and one dark. The caption was a single sentence: "From sister-in-law to prosecutor, from Chen Shuting to Lü Lingling, thank you Director Lin for letting me start over again. #MovieTwenty#"

Aruna's Weibo post was the most peculiar, featuring a comparison of his and Liu Wenjing's costume fitting photos—the left being a still from Li Hongwei's film *Raging Storm*, the right a still from Liu Wenjing's film *Article 20*, with a photoshopped image of himself with his hands clasped in prayer in the middle. The caption read: "@Director Lin Mo said I'll be playing a villain again in my next film, my mom is already preparing nitroglycerin pills, #Article20Movie# #WhyMeAgain#"

The comments section is bursting with laughter.

"Aru, did you offend Director Lin? Hahahaha."

"The Evolution of Bad Guys"

Director Lin: You should be the bad guy. Aruna: ???

"My mom is already preparing nitroglycerin pills, hahaha."

"Hang in there, bro. You'll really need to wear a helmet when you go out after this broadcast."

The official Weibo account of the Supreme People's Procuratorate posted a video.

This is a 30-second clip edited by Xiao Chen—the scene from Han Ming's hearing on the day filming wrapped.

It wasn't the original film; it was a re-enactment of surveillance footage. The picture quality was rough, but Lei Jiayin's line, "The law cannot yield to illegality," was included verbatim.

The caption reads: "Article 20 is finished. The law cannot yield to illegality."

The Supreme People's Court reposted the message, adding the caption: "On the road to the rule of law, we will not back down at any step."

The official Weibo account of the Ministry of Public Security also reposted it, with the caption: "Upholding justice, the police are always on the road."

Three official Weibo accounts reposted the post simultaneously, and half an hour later, #TheTwentiethFilmingWrappedUp# became the number one trending topic.

The most popular comment under the trending topic was: "The Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court, and the Ministry of Public Security all posted on Weibo about a movie at the same time—I've never seen such a show of support in my life."

"I've seen it before. The last time all three organizations appeared at the same time was to jointly recognize Lin Mo personally. This time it's for his movie. In conclusion: only Lin Mo himself can break the record for prestige."

"The law cannot yield to illegality—when I saw this line trending on social media, I thought it was said by a law professor. But when I clicked in, I found it was a line written by Lin Mo."

Director Lin: I don't produce legal provisions, I'm just a translator of them.

"The Yongcheng case is still trending on social media. Director Lin's film is aimed at popularizing legal knowledge."

"To be honest, I'm from Yongcheng. I cry every time I watch that surveillance video. Director Lin made this film, and I thank him on behalf of the people of Yongcheng."

"I've added it to my favorites. I'll take the whole family to see it when it's released."

The Supreme People's Procuratorate's Douyin account was also busy. Xiao Chen posted a group photo of the wrap party with an instrumental version of the theme song from "In the Name of the People." The video ended with the caption: "What he filmed was not a play, but the hearts of the people."

The comment section responded instantly: "Xiao Chen, you're using this trick again. You used the same phrase last time for the joint commendation."

Xiao Chen replied: "It works well."
