It's not over yet? For a moment, the Duke of Wellington, Abramana, and the audiences from all over the world who were still watching were extremely surprised by the scene that appeared again, but everyone was also looking forward to what message this final clip would bring to them.
After all, there are still some extras at the end, which basically means there will be a sequel! So can we look forward to the third season of "Yes, Prime Minister"?
However, as they watched, everyone realized that something was wrong, because after a black screen appeared in the camera, a person who was relatively unfamiliar to them appeared.
"Chen Qi? How come he's on camera?"
Longmen, Chen Huijie and others were also looking at Chen Qi's figure appearing on the big screen in surprise. They couldn't understand what Chen Qi wanted to do in this final behind-the-scenes footage.
Chapter 167: The ending of the "Yes, Prime Minister" trio? The truth of the story
"Director Chen Qi? Why did he also appear on the big screen? And in the final footage of Yes, Prime Minister?"
Chen Qi's unusual appearance this time also surprised everyone who knew Chen Qi's identity. Especially on Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit saw that Chen Qi, who had always been low-key, actually appeared in his most proud work.
No one knew what Chen Qi was going to do, but subconsciously everyone felt that Chen Qi might be doing something big - after all, Chen Qi had caused several huge uproars in the movies before, but he had not appeared in any of them even once. This time, he actually appeared in "Yes, Prime Minister", a work with a "glorious record".
...It's easy to make people wonder if Chen Qi is making any big moves. Now his every word and action will show his position and opinion. This makes everyone nervous.
"Director Chen Qi, are you planning to take advantage of the behind-the-scenes footage of Yes, Prime Minister to publicly announce your alliance with the Sarkaz?"
For a moment, Amiya was a little worried. Although Chen Qi had a cooperative relationship with Rhodes Island and was not bound by Rhodes Island's ideas at all, Rhodes Island had no say in who he wanted to form an alliance with.
But... on Tracy's side, everyone on Rhodes Island still regards him as an opponent they will definitely have to face in the future. Although Amiya does not think that Tracy and his men are definitely enemies, there is no doubt that Tracy regards Rhodes Island as an enemy.
When Chen Qi gave the [Royal Court Covenant] to Teresis before, they couldn't say anything... After all, it was the friendship of the entire Sarkaz clan. But the friendship of the Sarkaz clan and the alliance with Teresis alone were completely different things.
"…I don't think so. Even if this situation were to happen, it wouldn't be now."
After thinking for a while, Kal'tsit denied Amiya's speculation and said solemnly:
"If Kazdel had been restored now, then perhaps Director Chen Qi and Tracy would really do this, but the Sarkaz are not fully prepared yet, and most of their manpower is even in Victoria. Taking such a big risk and letting the Sarkaz attract attention again is not something Tracy would do."
"More importantly, Amiya, look at them, aren't they all still wearing the same makeup as in Yes, Prime Minister?"
Kal'tsit pointed at the trio that appeared on TV, and Amiya realized that the three were still wearing the costumes from the show. Although they seemed to be older, they did not appear as Sarkaz.
"Obviously, this is just an Easter egg. Although I don't know what Director Chen Qi wants to do, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
Kal'tsit said this and comforted herself at the same time. She was actually a little nervous at that moment. If Chen Qi really stood on Theresis' side... then for Rhodes Island, Chen Qi's weapon of public opinion might be somewhat disadvantageous to them.
Especially after watching "Yes, Prime Minister", Kal'tsit is sure that if Chen Qi really wants to discredit you, he can satirize you from various angles, and Rhodes Island cannot afford to offend such a great god.
Now, Kal'tsit had no choice but to calm down and turn her eyes to the TV, while audiences from all over the world were also watching TV with their own thoughts, looking forward to Chen Qi's appearance on the screen this time and wanting to say something.
"Has it started yet?"
On TV, after confirming it, Chen Qi turned his gaze to Tracys and the other two, and said with a smile:
"Then, the series of "Yes, Prime Minister" has been completely completed. Thank you very much to the three of you for providing me with so much information, allowing me as a screenwriter to complete this work."
"I want to thank you especially, Mr. Bernard, for providing me with so much information and data as a cabinet secretary, which enabled me to complete this work. It must have been very difficult to sort out these events from ten years ago, right?"
Cabinet Secretary? However, when Chen Qi still called Manfred by the name in the play and revealed such a message, all the audience were slightly stunned, but then after seeing the three older-looking people and Chen Qi's words "ten years ago", they immediately understood the meaning of this easter egg.
"Director Chen Qi is deliberately creating the 'authenticity' of this drama."
Kal'tsit was relieved when she saw this, and then murmured to herself, "He is intentionally making the three deeply rooted characters as realistic as possible, in order to accumulate more popularity for this work."
"Moreover, Director Chen Qi used the tone of an editor to introduce the ending of this work to the audience, probably to make a perfect ending for this work."
This approach is indeed the icing on the cake, after all, "authenticity" has always been a natural attraction. Although those in the know know that there is no prime minister named "Huck" in Victorian history, this will still make most viewers feel a sense of familiarity. The characters in the play seem to have walked out of the play, but they are still the same as the people they know, which is indeed quite intimate.
"This is a very creative way to end the story. It uses memories and post-show interviews to introduce the ending of the characters to the audience and make them closer to the characters. It's a very creative idea."
On TV, just as Kelsey thought, Manfred, who looked older but more elite after putting on makeup, continued to speak in Bernard's tone:
"Yes, it is indeed a hassle to organize these materials, but I am not doing these things alone. Sir Harker and Sir Humphrey have provided me with a lot of information. Everyone is very willing to make some efforts for the past ten years."
"—it's Sir Harker, Bernard."
However, at this moment, Tracy, who was sitting upright in a chair with a wine glass in one hand, suddenly corrected him, "I am different from Humphrey. Humphrey is just a knight. I was awarded the title of Baron Islington after I stepped down as Prime Minister, wasn't I?"
"Besides, if I hadn't provided the oral diary, Yes, Prime Minister wouldn't have been completed so quickly, right? I spent a lot of effort to convince everyone in the House of Lords to agree to film it, Director Chen Qi."
As Tracys said this, he turned his gaze to Chen Qi, and Chen Qi immediately replied jokingly:
"-Yes, Mr. Baron, you are right."
Seeing such interaction, the audience couldn't help but smile. Although they didn't laugh as loudly as before, they still felt inexplicably intimate when they saw the familiar characters still joking with each other.
It’s as if these characters are still here today, everyone has witnessed their stories, and they have personally re-presented these past events.
How should I put it... It feels like they are watching these characters grow up and get older. Although the three of them have already aged since their first appearance, looking at their more weathered faces now, one can't help but sigh.
However, from a few sentences of conversation, everyone could hear that Huck and Bernard had a good ending in the end, which was some consolation for them.
"Huck has been made a baron, so his title is indeed higher than Humphrey's."
"And he's entered the House of Lords. Does that mean he can retire and enjoy his old age?"
"Berner has become a cabinet secretary. Harker and Humphrey taught him a lot. He has lived up to their expectations."
At this moment, audiences everywhere couldn't help but sigh. The two seasons of "Yes, Prime Minister" were not long, but they seemed to have watched the lives of these people. Now, they reappeared in front of them as recallers, and everything had changed.
"What about you, Humphrey?" However, the smug Tracys turned his head and teased the Blood Demon Lord who looked much older:
"I saw you disappear at the San Diem Sanatorium. Are you really alright? You are now a 'mentally disturbed' patient."
"——Prime Minister, if you want to test whether I am insane or not, I can prove once again that my tongue has not degenerated to the point where I cannot say the long and difficult sentences you like."
However, the Blood Demon Lord also took a sip of wine and did not pay much attention to Tracy's words. However, this still revealed an unexpected message to the audience that Humphrey's treatment in his later years was not as good as Huck and Bernard.
However, Humphrey does not look mentally ill at all. Obviously, this is just an excuse. As for why he did this, the audience is also speculating.
"Insanity?... Although it's just a fake excuse, it's not hard to understand if Humphrey is really insane."
At Longmen, Wei Yanwu and the others couldn't help but feel emotional when they saw Humphrey in such a late age. Although Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue had guessed from the beginning that it would be difficult for the character of Humphrey to have a good ending, they still felt a little sad after their guess was verified.
"Maybe he wanted to avoid the limelight? He left evidence behind and was afraid of being purged. The reason of mental disorder is reasonable."
"This can be considered a good ending. Considering what he has done, this ending... can be considered a blessing."
Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue both said so. Although Humphrey's final ending was not good, it was not appropriate to describe it as "miserable in his old age", especially considering what the character of Humphrey did. It was a blessing to have a good end.
However, on TV, Tracys obviously had no intention of sparing the Blood Demon Lord, especially now that he had already surpassed Humphrey in terms of status and everything else, so he obviously made more jokes and said:
"Really? Then, Hampi, are you willing to tell me the real reason why you went to the sanatorium? You gave all your property to your children, and then you were kicked out by your daughter-in-law..."
"Alright, Prime Minister!" The Blood Demon Lord almost immediately told Tracys to shut up. He still looked full of energy and didn't seem to be insane at all. He continued:
"I also took out all my memos in order to film this past event. Bernard was responsible for reviewing these contents. We are all very satisfied with the works that have been revealed now, and that is enough."
"Director Chen Qi, please cut out that part. I don't want my family to see it."
Chen Qi: "Of course, Sir Humphrey, the footage about you will be cut out and not broadcast, please rest assured."
However, Chen Qi, who agreed very readily on TV, combined with the interview that is now being broadcast, once again made many viewers laugh.
However, Tracy's brief words finally let everyone know the real reason why Humphrey spent the rest of his life in a nursing home, which made many people who had previously speculated that Humphrey was trying to avoid the limelight feel a little embarrassed.
They didn't expect that the final reason was so... realistic. Humphrey, a former cabinet secretary who could have treated the prime minister as a puppet if the prime minister was not Hack but a more tractable one, would actually make such a common... mistake.
Quietly, even many viewers who had gloated over Humphrey's ending began to sympathize with Humphrey. Once again, Chen Qi, through this method, invisibly revealed the side of the "superiors" that was close to the public, quietly narrowing the distance between the public and these people in power.
Chapter 168: "Yes, Prime Minister" novel released, the cheapest political knowledge!
"I didn't expect that Humphrey would be kicked out of the house in the end. The reason of mental disorder was probably the excuse used by his family when they sent him to a nursing home because he had a disagreement with them, right?"
In Longmen, Wei Yanwu, who had previously guessed that Humphrey entered the sanatorium on the grounds of mental disorder in order to protect himself, made a wrong guess for the first time and felt a little embarrassed at the moment.
After all, even Wei Yanwu could not have guessed that Humphrey, a man of strategic planning, although a little inferior to Arnold in the play and Bernard, who is now a cabinet secretary, but a smart man after all, could handle household affairs so badly.
However, this also made Wei Yanwu think of himself. As the ruler of Longmen, he seemed to be the same as Humphrey. Although he could handle everything in state affairs very well, he had no idea what to do when it came to his family.
In this light, Wei Yanwu felt that he and Humphrey actually had a lot to talk about. They were both clear-headed in business matters, but confused when it came to family matters.
"...Xiao Chen, you won't follow Humphrey's family and throw me into a nursing home when I get old, right?"
Wei Yanwu suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Chen Huijie. However, Chen Huijie wanted to say "Of course I won't do that" but when he saw that the person asking the question was Old Wei, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
However, Chen Huijie's hesitation made Wei Yanwu dumbfounded. In the end, he did not wait for Chen Huijie's answer for a long time. He saw his niece pretending not to hear it and turned his head away silently.
Just this one action, although Chen Huijie did not answer Wei Yanwu, made Wei Yanwu feel even colder inside than if he had answered.
"Oh no, I won't have to rely on Xiaota for my future life in old age, right? Wait, if Xiaochen still has such a big opinion about me, doesn't Xiaota think the same way?"
"Doesn't that mean that whether my future life in old age can be guaranteed depends on Chen Qi's mood?"
Wei Yanwu could not help but feel sad about his old age. In fact, he knew from the day he ran away that his old age would not be particularly easy. Old Wei knew that he could not rebel against his brother. If he had this intention, he would not have run away so quickly. His brother would definitely not fight for it and would immediately replace him in Longmen to be a happy prince.
Because if Lao Wei himself became the emperor, his younger brother would not have to worry about his elder brother resorting to violence against him, let alone any intention of rebelling.
But once this position is reversed, when the Emperor of Yan State knows that he has a brother who is stronger than him in every aspect, he will be afraid in a place like Longmen where the emperor is far away.
Especially, Old Wei's actions in those few years were really quite a lot... Thinking about it now, Old Wei had to admit that he was young and impetuous and did too many wrong things. In the end, his younger brother, as the emperor, had to warn him.
So Old Wei was prepared to never have access to power again in his later years and live in poverty from then on. He had hoped that his two nieces could help him... But now it seems that the probability of Chen Qi helping him is greater than that of his two nieces.
"Do I really have to swallow my pride and make friends with that guy? But I always feel that this guy is not a serious person..."
Old Wei was very concerned because although he had no say in Tallulah's affairs, after this kid and Tallulah walked back to Longmen, Old Wei knew that his niece had been hugged by Chen Qi countless times, and his subjective impression of Chen Qi was not particularly friendly.
But now, Tallulah and Chen Qi are a done deal, and he, the uncle whose existence or non-existence is irrelevant, seems to have no say. Judging from Chen Qi's current good situation and future trends... Lao Wei feels that he should perhaps recognize Chen Qi as his niece's husband.
Lao Wei turned his attention back to TV, and now, Chen Qi and Tracy were having a good conversation with the other two. Most of what they talked about were things in the drama. As editors and eyewitnesses, they discussed the stories that happened in "Yes, Prime Minister".
"Bernard, you reviewed all this information, and a lot of the content here praises you very much."
The three of them finally talked about the content of "Yes, Prime Minister". Facing the words of the Blood Demon Lord, Tracys rarely stood on the same front with the other party and began to "accuse" Manfred, who was responsible for reviewing these contents:
"Obviously, our Cabinet Secretary does not want some of the past events to be told to his Cabinet colleagues. It would not help his management if the Cabinet knew that their second Cabinet Secretary of 'GCMG' was even greener than he was shown on TV."
"...GCMG?" At this moment, Chen Qi, who seemed to be in an interview but was actually playing a role, asked, pretending not to know what it meant.
At this moment, Humphrey, played by Lord Blood Demon, also promptly explained: "GCMG, the highest evaluation for civil servants. In our department, 'CGM' stands for 'Call Me God'."
"And KCMG stands for 'Call Me God'." Tracys also helped at this moment, and the Blood Demon Lord responded promptly:
"And 'GCMG' stands for, 'God Called Me God.' This achievement was only achieved by Arnold before our dear current Cabinet Secretary."
The words of Lord Blood Demon and Tracys also contributed a lot of jokes. However, their words also made the audience realize that Berna, whom they have always called "Little Sakota", is probably not so honest in reality.
Unconsciously, the audience began to forget that this was a play, as if there were really these three popular characters in this world, who held various positions as the highest authority in Victoria for a time, and as if these stories had really happened.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but you know that filming these contents requires review and may involve leaks." Manfred also explained after a little embarrassment, acknowledging that he had indeed made some changes, and then immediately changed the subject:
"But the play itself was well shot, wasn't it? We all performed very well."
"Yes - but it's not detailed enough, and a lot of my wonderful performances were cut out."
Tracy, who played the role of Huck, a man who loves to show off and is vain, was also very consistent with his character. After putting down his wine glass, he cast his eyes on Chen Qi and echoed:
"Director Chen Qi, you have portrayed me as a two-faced person. How can you slander me like this?"
"Excuse me, Director Chen Qi has already given you a lot of face by cutting out the parts, Prime Minister." The Blood Demon Lord was still trying to sabotage the show as usual, but he seemed to have some opinions, and turned to Chen Qi and said:
"However, Director Chen Qi could have shot it better. We deleted too many scenes during the filming process. The show could have been worth 90 points, but now it only gives us 70 points."
"It's to take care of the rhythm. After all, if all of it is filmed, many viewers may not understand it. And it also involves a lot of secrets, so it's impossible to even film it."
"So we had to cut out a lot of details. I'm really sorry to all the viewers, but this is the best we can do."
Chen Qi also explained this to the camera at this moment, which explained that he was also "dancing with anklets", but it also showed that there was actually a lot of content that had not been filmed.
Chen Qi's words immediately attracted the curiosity of many viewers. Because the information revealed by "Yes, Prime Minister" is now something that they can't touch, and Chen Qi and the other three said that this is not even the complete content.
Well...if it is the complete content, how exciting would it be?
For a moment, countless viewers were extremely curious about this. At this moment, Tracy on TV turned to Chen Qi and asked:
"So, this is the end of our story?"
"Yes, it's over." Chen Qi also nodded, then turned his gaze to all the viewers on the screen and said with a smile:
"Dear viewers, thank you very much for your support along the way. The Yes, Prime Minister series has officially come to an end."
“It’s a pity that we couldn’t continue filming, but as one of the screenwriters, after discussing with the three leading actors, we also feel that we have talked about everything that can be said and written about everything that can be written. Continuing will only become boring like rehashing old stories. It’s better to freeze this series at the most perfect moment.”
"Although we are retired, we still have a lot of work to do. We can't come to film at any time." Tracy's character Huck also chimed in at this moment, shaking his head in a way that matched his performance in the TV series, and said in a boastful manner:
"There are many things to do in the House of Lords, such as national defense, finance, etc. We are still working for Victoria."
Tracy's humorous words made many viewers laugh again, especially the Victoria audience. At this moment, they seemed to feel that their favorite characters, Huck, Bernard, and Humphrey, were still in places they could not see, continuing to play important roles.
