The entire Weibo account seemed to be paused, and a few seconds later, it exploded like a tsunami!
"My God!!! What did I just see???"

"Dilraba Dilmurat leads the way, with Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Liying, and Liu Yifei bringing up the rear??? When did Jiang Qing become so familiar with them???"

"Half of the entertainment industry is supporting him?! That's incredible!!"

"Jiang Shen, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about???"

"This isn't just showing off, it's an overwhelming force!"

"I'm dumbfounded... When did Jiang Shen get to know so many celebrities?"

"Look at the valuation of Jiang Shen's own company, and then look at the people he's working with. These shrewd people in the entertainment industry are definitely not losing out with this move!"

"Gods are fighting! No, gods are all cheering them on! Jiang Shen is awesome (voice cracks)!!!"

……

The Weibo trending topics list is filled with red!

"Half of the entertainment industry cheered for the beginning"
Jiang Qing's incredible connections explode

Zhang Yiming, Wang Xingxing, Zhou Hongyi...

This collective appearance of tech industry leaders brought the event to its climax!

It caused a sensation across the internet!

The trending topics on Douyin were instantly dominated by topics such as "Jiang Qing's prestige", "the beginning of collective support in the entertainment industry", and "top-tier treatment in the tech industry".

The top three on Zhihu's trending list were refreshed instantly.

How would you evaluate the phenomenon on January 11, 2022, when a large portion of the entertainment and technology industries collectively spoke out in support of the TV series "The Beginning" and its lead actress, Jiang Qing?

Why does Jiang Qing have such a powerful network of connections in the industry?

"Does the pre-release hype surrounding 'The Beginning' foreshadow Jiang Qing's successful foray into a new field?"

Hupu, Douban, Bilibili... all social media platforms are buzzing with discussion about this unprecedented spectacle. Jiang Qing's name, with an unparalleled presence, has shocked the entire internet at the beginning of the year!

Meanwhile, on the set of the movie "Lighter".

During lunch break, almost everyone on set had a phone in hand, scrolling through the terrifying list of fan supporters, with gasps of amazement rising and falling.

"My God... Jingyi, look! Teacher Jingtian! Teacher Zhao Liying! And Teacher Liu Yifei! My goddesses!"

Qian Didi excitedly shook Zhang Jingyi's arm.

"Lei Jun! Yu Chengdong! Liu Qiangdong! My goodness, Teacher Jiang's WeChat Moments... are terrifying!"

Zhao Zhiwei stared at his phone, his mouth agape for a long time.

Zhang Jingyi held her phone, and on the screen was Dilraba's Weibo page supporting Jiang Qing.

She was somewhat dazed by the overwhelming momentum, and more than that, she felt a silent tension.

Those familiar names, each one more beautiful than the last, and so famous...

She pouted and subconsciously looked up to find the figure in the eye of the storm.

Jiang Qing was sitting on a folding chair in the corner, holding a mobile phone in her hand.

Chen Duo was bent over, whispering something to him quickly, his face filled with undisguised excitement.

Jiang Qing's expression was quite calm, with a hint of expected helplessness in her eyes.

His fingers slid across the screen, seemingly browsing the explosive news, occasionally glancing up to calmly sweep his gaze over the excited, discussing faces on set.

But when his gaze inadvertently swept over Zhang Jingyi, he paused for a moment.

Zhang Jingyi was looking at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions—amazement, curiosity, and perhaps even a slight sense of loss, a feeling she herself didn't realize was being subtly distanced by his overwhelming aura. Jiang Qing's gaze lingered on her face for two seconds, a faint, reassuring smile flashing across his eyes before he lowered them again to continue looking at his phone.

It was as if the raging storms outside were nothing more than a passing breeze to him.

Zhang Jingyi's heart felt inexplicably calmed down because of the brief and peaceful eye contact they had just shared.

She looked down and opened the comment section of her Weibo post supporting Jiang Qing. Sure enough, it was already bustling with activity. In addition to drama fans and her own fans, many passersby attracted by this "entertainment industry team building" also flooded in, as well as... some of Jiang Qing's fans.

"Thank you Jingyi for supporting our Jiang Shen!"

"The princess is great! No need for further words!"

"May the friendship between the Lighter crew last forever!"

"The princess and the river god have such a good relationship!"

"Great! Destiny's Fate is giving out candy!"

"Looking forward to the lighter's release!"

……

Looking at the comments, Zhang Jingyi pursed her lips, and her mood inexplicably improved.

But in my mind, I wonder if the lighter will receive just as much support when it's released.

She put away her phone, picked up her script, and took a deep breath.

No matter how turbulent the outside world may be, the story of Li Xun and Zhu Yun continues on set.

The afternoon shoot proceeded as scheduled.

As night falls, the city lights gradually illuminate the city.

At 7:50 p.m., countless people were already sitting in front of their computers, tablets, and TVs, refreshing the Penguin Video page.

The real-time discussion on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin has surged exponentially, putting immense pressure on servers.

The word "explosive" was prominently displayed in bright red after the trending topic "beginning of broadcast".

"Ten minutes to go! So exciting!"

"What will the opening theme be? I'm so nervous!"

"Hopefully the full movie will maintain the quality of the trailer! Go Jiang Qingmai!"

"This kind of launch spectacle is unprecedented, isn't it?"

"It's starting! It's refreshed!"

……

The comments section alone is enough to imagine how excited the fans are.

At 7:57, the first, second and all subsequent episodes of "The Beginning" were, as always, not released on time!

Viewers who had been eagerly waiting in front of their screens immediately clicked the play icon.

As the tense and suspenseful opening music plays, accompanied by a shot of a bus entering the frame, a thrilling journey about cycles officially begins for countless families and countless screens.

The barrage of comments instantly flooded the entire screen like a burst dam.

"Here it comes! High energy ahead!"

"Xiao Heyun! Jiang Qing is so handsome! He's even so handsome with glasses on!"

"Mai Mai is so beautiful! Li Shiqing is so brave!"

"Canon! I'm getting goosebumps!"

"That explosion effect is awesome!"

"Jiang Qing's acting is amazing! Her eye acting is incredible!"

"Details! Pay attention to the details! There's foreshadowing!"

"Ahhh, Xiao Heyun is in the loop too!"

"The anti-ship pairing is locked in!"

……

At the very beginning of the story, Jiang Qing gave everyone a surprise.

The face on the screen was indeed Jiang Qing's, but it felt completely different.

Although Jiang Qing is usually low-key and easy-going, he is composed and unhurried. Even when he is wearing a simple T-shirt and trousers, his calm and collected demeanor as the leader of a multi-billion dollar technology company cannot be ignored.

But at this moment, the person on the screen, wearing a drab hoodie, huddled on a hard bus seat, with barely noticeable dark circles under his eyes and a face that screams "the aftereffects of a programmer staying up all night fixing bugs," has such an ordinary, worn-down-by-life demeanor that it's incredibly impactful on the audience.

The plot continues to advance.

Xiao Heyun opened his eyes, looking completely bewildered. The next second, his phone alarm went off like a death knell. He frantically reached into his pockets, causing even the hoodie hood to shake violently.

Jiang Qing vividly portrayed the typical clumsy and flustered state of a working professional, causing many viewers to forget his real-life identity and become completely immersed in the story.

The two episodes ended before we knew it, and the trending topics list refreshed again when the end credits started playing.

"The premiere" was a hit.
"Jiang Qing's acting skills" exploded
"Starting with a sense of quality" is trending
"Anti-explosive CP" fever
"The Canon ringtone is terrifying" - a new
……

The plot of "The Beginning" is tight and the pacing is clear, making it impossible for the audience to put it down.

The Zhihu hot list was quickly dominated by questions such as "How would you rate the quality of the premiere of 'The Beginning'?" and "How would you rate Jiang Qing's performance in 'The Beginning'?"

The Douban rating group was flooded with comments instantly, and the short review section was filled with four-star and five-star reviews at a visible speed.

"Fast-paced, suspenseful, and cinematic! Exceeded expectations!"

"Jiang Qing! What a pleasant surprise! Xiao Heyun's fear, exhaustion, and later calm analysis were all portrayed with great depth! The lines were natural, and the eyes were expressive! A very successful crossover debut!"

"MaiMai played consistently well! Li Shiqing's transformation from gentle to resilient was very moving!"

"Teacher Liu Yijun is as steady as a mountain! Huang Jue's driver has that kind of presence!"

"The localization of the Infinite Flow genre is quite good! Looking forward to the next steps!"

"Midday Sunshine is awesome! They're still the best!"

Rave reviews!

In particular, the evaluation of Jiang Qing's acting skills was almost unanimously amazed and affirmed.

The doubts raised before the premiere seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the solid quality of the series and Jiang Qing's steady and precise performance.

At this point, the first group of viewers had already entered the plot of the third episode.
