This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 286: Beginning and End!
On the 25th, various trending topics related to "The Beginning" completely dominated the internet.

Many viewers didn't subscribe to a membership; they just thought they could watch one episode a day for free.

With so many silly and funny people playing with the memes from the beginning, if you don't hurry up and see the latest updates, you'll fall behind the speed of online surfing.

In the past few days, the number of new members of Dongsun Video has been rising steadily.

In the evening, in the internal screening room of Chang'an Entertainment.

This screening room is usually used for internal company screenings or when inviting others to watch a movie.

There were quite a few people sitting in the screening room today.

Shen Fupo was there, along with Meng Yichuan, the director of "The Beginning," Lu Ran and Li Quan, Yang Fang, the screenwriter from Chang'an Entertainment, and other people who were not working in the company.

Everyone specifically chose this time to watch the finale of "The Beginning" together.

The viewing room is a little different from the movie theater.

The chairs that were originally placed in the screening room have been moved to other places, creating a large empty space in the screening room.

A large table was set up on the open space, and a hot pot was placed on the table.

The hot pot is surrounded by various fresh ingredients.

The original plan was for everyone to go out for a meal together and then come back to watch a show together.

Mrs. Shen suggested that the two things could be combined into one, which resulted in the current situation.

Li Quan busied himself serving customers, arranging the groceries he had bought on the table.

Once everything was ready, everyone sat down around the table.

The large screen in the viewing room was already displaying the interface of Dongsun Video.

Meng Yichuan raised his glass and said happily, "Let's have one first."

Meng Yichuan has gotten a bit cocky these past few days.

"The Beginning" has an average of 80 million views per episode, and the number of views for just one episode is more than the total number of views for all the movies he has made before.

But as a director who has experienced many ups and downs in the industry, Meng Yichuan knows the reason why this drama was successful.

If divided into 10 parts, his role as director only accounts for 0.5% of it.

Of the remaining 9.5%, the other actors made up 1.5%.

Lu Ran served as the lead actor, screenwriter, and on-set director, accounting for 80% of the project.

All that's left is to finish up tonight.

Everyone raised their glasses.

After finishing the drinks, everyone started eating.

Lu Ran ate while scrolling through his Shake hands and Weibo backend.

His inbox is now flooded with messages from netizens urging him to update.

The update speed of "The Beginning" is already quite fast.

Updates will begin on the 17th, and members can watch the entire series on the 25th.

Most importantly, it's concise and doesn't drag on; it's updated in three parts.

On Earth, the later parts of "The Beginning" are a bit drawn out, and the story about Aunt Guo and driver Wang Xingde's daughter's car accident is not explained clearly.

Lu Ran made some minor adjustments to this scene during the final filming, making the overall viewing experience of the series feel more natural.

Furthermore, the fact that he released the last five episodes all at once made it easier for viewers to watch the entire series in one go.

After checking the backend for a while, Lu Ran edited a Weibo post and sent it out.

"I would like to inform all viewers that the drama I starred in, 'The Beginning,' will air its final episode tonight at 8 PM on Dongsun Video. The drama portrays the sense of responsibility and commitment shown by young people in the new era during emergencies. I sincerely invite all viewers to witness the successful resolution of the No. 45 bus incident."

After posting this Weibo post, Lu Ran took a screenshot of the content and shared it in the "Beginning" group chat.

"Everyone, don't forget to post a Weibo to promote the ending of the beginning."

Wang Peng: "Received!"

Xi Meixia: "Okay, I'll send it right away."

Ning Sirou: "Do I have to post it like this?"

Lu Ran: "No need for that. Have you eaten?"

Ning Sirou: "No, I've been too busy and haven't had time to eat yet."

Lu Ran picked up his phone, took a picture of the hot pot on the table, and posted it in the group chat.

"I'm eating."

Ning Sirou: "Nobody asked you. [Angry]"

Then Meng Yichuan also posted a photo.

"You know what a mess this is."

Ning Sirou silently sent a string of ellipses.

Finally, it was eight o'clock.

The final five episodes of "The Beginning" have been officially released!
At this very moment, at least several million netizens across the country clicked into the playback page of "The Beginning" simultaneously.

"Charge! Charge! Charge! Let's welcome the grand finale!"

The eleventh episode begins with a scene at a bus company in Jialin City, the same company where driver Wang Xingde works.

In this episode, Xiao Heyun's health also deteriorates.

If he can't break free from this cycle, he might never wake up again.

He and Li Shiqing seized every minute to try to find out Wang Xingde and Aunt Guo's motive for committing the crime.

By the twelfth episode, the motive was finally discovered.

Five years ago, Wang Xingde's daughter, Wang Mengmeng, was on this No. 45 bus.

At 1:44 that day, Wang Mengmeng called Wang Xingde, but no one answered.

At 1:45, Wang Mengmeng left the bus.

Wang Mengmeng was hit by a passing truck as soon as she got off the bus and died from her injuries.

The explosion occurred at 1:45 PM, and Wang Mengmeng also died at 1:45 PM.

These clues have matched up.

At this point, the audience had a new question.

"That's not right. The bus made a temporary stop on the road before reaching its stop, which is a violation."

"What exactly happened on the bus? Why did Wang Mengmeng suddenly get off?"

At this time, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were both at the police station.

In this cycle, they worked by providing clues to Officer Zhang and then obtaining clues from him.

Under their guidance, the police successfully uncovered the perpetrator and motive behind the bombing.

The police also became suspicious of them.

These two people seemed to know a lot of things, allowing the police to solve the case smoothly without taking any detours.

Things went a little too smoothly.

Li Shiqing then asked Officer Zhang what she would do to save the lives of everyone on the bus if she could go back to the moment before the explosion.

Officer Zhang directly explained the solution to Li Shiqing.

He is a keen detective.

He noticed too many abnormalities in these two people. But he still helped them.

"Old Zhang suspects there's something going on between them, but he can't quite put his finger on what it is!"

“I feel that Lao Zhang’s faith is crumbling a bit. Is he wondering if there really is a God in this world?”

"Officer Zhang is so kind!"

Just as Officer Zhang was about to leave, Li Shiqing pressed him for an answer: "If one day you received a text message from a stranger saying that a bus is about to explode in twenty minutes and that they need your help, would you believe him and immediately go to the scene?"

Officer Zhang said with a serious expression, "I will respond to the call without hesitation!"

Li Shiqing: "Don't you think this is some kind of prank or a false police report?"

Officer Zhang: "We will definitely find him and make him bear the corresponding legal responsibility. But if this is true, if we go to the scene, we may save the lives of everyone in the car, right? I believe that not only me, but all my colleagues would make the same choice. This is the meaning of being a police officer."

When Officer Zhang finished speaking, the live chat exploded.

"A golden shield forged with blood and sweat!"

"I will respond to the call without hesitation!"

"They show their skills in times of crisis; that's what police officers are all about!"

"Brothers, stop talking. I have a bad feeling."

"Are they going to use knives?"

When the cycle started again, Xiao Heyun was the first to wake up.

Blood was already flowing from his nose.

With each cycle, his body grew weaker and weaker.

There isn't much time left for them!

Without wasting any words, Xiao Heyun took out his phone and sent a text message to Officer Zhang, then called to remind him.

Upon seeing the text message, Officer Zhang, just as he had said before, dispatched the police without hesitation!
The two reenacted their act of catching a pervert on the bus, buying the police time to prepare.

However, Wang Xingde noticed something amiss and spotted plainclothes police officers at the bus stop. He drove away without stopping.

At the last minute, the police stopped the bus on the bridge.

Officer Zhang, carrying the pressure cooker, threw it off the bridge.

But it was still a step too late.

Officer Zhang was killed in the bomb explosion.

Some viewers burst into tears upon seeing this scene.

"I knew they were going to throw knives."

"We absolutely must get back into the loop! We absolutely cannot let it end!"

"If this loop ends, I'm going to stab the screenwriter!"

The audience also felt uneasy.

After all, the bomb exploded this time, and everyone on the bus was saved. Even Aunt Guo and Wang Xingde were arrested by the police.

Only Officer Zhang was killed.

It appears the cycle has ended.

But the story isn't over yet; Wang Mengmeng's death is not so simple.

In the later episodes, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing continue their investigation, and with the help of Officer Xiao Jiang, they finally uncover the truth.

Years ago, Wang Mengmeng encountered a pervert on bus route 45.

Wang Mengmeng panicked after encountering this situation, tried to get off the bus, and even did some extreme things.

The driver simply opened the car door and let her out, but Wang Mengmeng was hit and killed by the car.

However, Wang Mengmeng's excessive behavior in the car was posted online, and she was cyberbullied.

However, the truth was not found out at the time, and Aunt Guo felt that her daughter could not bear such injustice.

After the investigation was completed, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing obtained evidence that Wang Mengmeng had encountered a pervert on the bus.

The final cycle has officially begun!
In this cycle, the two secretly joined forces with other people on the bus, including Lao Jiao, Ma Guoqiang, and Happy Brother.

At the last moment, with the combined efforts and persuasion of everyone on the bus, Officer Zhang was finally able to take the pressure cooker from Wang Xingde's hands.

Officer Zhang threw the pressure cooker off the bridge.

With a loud bang, everything came to an end.

Everyone else on the bus has returned to their normal lives.

"Just one more thing, will it go into the loop again?"

"If we go back into the loop, I'll kill Director Lu!"

Everyone watching the movie in the theater saw this comment.

Lu Ran was speechless.

I was told earlier that I couldn't enter the loop and I'd be killed, but now it's said that entering the loop will kill me.

Can you viewers be a little more focused?
At the end of the video, all the passengers on the bus received a reward of 30,000 yuan each for their act of bravery.

The pervert who molested Wang Mengmeng has been arrested.

Ma Guoqiang visited his son's workplace and brought watermelons to his son and his colleagues.

Because of this life-or-death crisis, Lu Di reconciled with his parents, and they accepted his hobbies.

With the money, Lao Jiao bought an electric scooter and started delivering food.

Everything returned to normal.

Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing visited Wang Mengmeng's grave.

At the end, Lu Ran added a short scene.

This part of the plot was added after he saw various imaginative ideas from netizens about the ending of "The Beginning" in his previous life on Earth.

In the scene, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing hold hands and turn away from Wang Mengmeng's grave.

Although the cycle had ended, Xiao Heyun still looked somewhat disappointed.

After all, Wang Mengmeng died, and her parents were imprisoned for breaking the law because of her.

If Wang Mengmeng had been braver on the bus back then and hadn't done those extreme things that were misunderstood by netizens, perhaps everything would have been different.

Just then, Xiao Heyun suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Incomprehensible extreme behavior?"

He recalled the previous cycles.

His and Li Shiqing's behavior was incomprehensible to the people on the bus.

In each of these cycles, what happens next on that cycle line?
As Ludi said, "What will happen to my cat in my cycle of dying?"

Wang Mengmeng's unusual behavior on the bus came to Xiao Heyun's mind.

Xiao Heyun's face showed shock.

Li Shiqing looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Heyun: "Is it possible that the world we live in is a failed loop for Wang Mengmeng, and that she was also caught in some kind of loop on the bus and was trying to save herself?"

Li Shiqing's expression froze instantly.
