​​is unprecedentedly strong, the plot is compact, and the content that used to be a topic off-limits is presented unabashedly. When

​​hit the air in March 2017, it caused an unprecedented response. Not only was the first broadcast first, but on the day of the broadcast, the number of viewers exceeded 350 million , and it also attracted a large number of young viewers.

​​The topic of this drama continues to remain high on the Internet, and it has become a hit in the TV series that year.

​​can say that the influence of this TV series is unprecedented. However,

, such a well-received and phenomenal hit TV series, had twists and turns during the filming, and encountered many unknown difficulties.

​​"In the Name of the People", a phenomenon-level hit TV series with explosive word-of-mouth, was broadcast in 2017, but the preparation time for this drama can be traced back to 2014.

​​In October of this year, Fan Ziwen, the deputy director of the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, found Zhou Meisen, a screenwriter with a high reputation in the industry, and asked him to create a TV series that could reflect the social reality and the anti-corruption situation at that time.

​​Zhou Meisen, who was born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province in 1956, is an expert in writing political novels and anti-corruption scripts. The TV series "Fortune in the World" is adapted from his novel of the same name. He was nominated for the 2005 CCTV China Economic Social Welfare Person of the Year. When

​​was invited to create a new work, screenwriter Zhou Meisen was eager to try, but he was also worried.

​​Because this subject is very sensitive, he has been thinking about whether he can write a script on this subject, and if he can, what kind of scale he can write.

​​was like that until early 2015 when he finally had a clear direction. After

​​was authorized by the relevant departments, he first spent several months collecting a large amount of information.

​​Afterwards, after Li Lu was confirmed to be the director of the TV series, the program team began to discuss the creation of the script.

​​At first, Zhou Meisen wanted to write the level of the "big boss" in the play at a lower level, but was later told that it was too shallow.

​​then Zhou Meisen hurriedly revised the script. After 7 months of hard work by , the script for "In the Name of the People" was officially finalized by . After the script of

​​was written, it was a matter of preparing for the filming, but the crew encountered a big problem first, and the funds were seriously insufficient.

director Li Lu had already made plans when he selected the actors, so that all the characters would be the protagonists of the show, so he found all the powerful actors with excellent acting skills.

​​The script is good, the actors are not difficult to find, but the salary is a big problem.

​​is just a lot of old actors who don't care about salary, in their opinion, even if they don'tWith salary, the show will not be broadcast in the end, and they have to participate in it, because this show has far-reaching significance.

​​Chen Daoming took the initiative to ask for a reduction in his salary for the role, but because he was too old, the director still persuaded him out of the crew after much thought.

Gao Yalin knew that the crew was short of funds, so he invested 40 million without saying a word.

​​However, the money is still a drop in the bucket for the entire crew. After being invited to perform, Lu Yi thought the salary was too low at first, but he agreed immediately after seeing the script.

In the end, the director selected more than 80 actors, half of them are old actors , and the salary of all actors combined is not as high as that of a small fresh meat in the entertainment industry.

​​is also because there are no traffic actors in this drama, so many investors are not optimistic about "The Name of the People", thinking that this drama will not be popular.

​​This made the film crew encounter unprecedented challenges in the financing step, and had to start shooting when the funds were insufficient.

​​was watched by several TV stations when the show was being filmed, but most of them were in a wait-and-see state and did not take any action for a long time.

only Hunan Satellite TV said nothing, and directly spent more than 200 million to buy the copyright of this drama .

​​also had this funding, so the crew was able to finish all the scenes. Facts have proved that this decision of Hunan Satellite TV is very wise.

​​After the finale of the show, many viewers are eagerly looking forward to the sequel of this show. The

​​crew did promote "2 in the name of the people of ", but when everyone was looking forward to the early broadcast of the show, everyone found that the show not only changed its name to " Breakout " , and even the cast has changed.

​​What everyone didn't expect is that "In the Name of the People" has been broadcast for 5 years, but it has never been replayed once. Even if

​​doesn't make a sequel, why doesn't "In the Name of the People" dare to replay it?

​​is very unusual, so the discussion has not stopped in recent years. There are different opinions on the reason.

​​Some people speculate that it is because the subject matter of this drama is too sensitive, so after the first broadcast, no TV station dares to rebroadcast it.

​​also speculated that because the copyright fee for this drama is too high, no TV station is willing to pay a high price.

​​It was not until an interview with screenwriter Zhou Meisen was exposed that the hidden story behind it was gradually revealed.

​​Zhou Mason has revealed that he has been threatened more than once. When

​​was creating this work, there were some "big fish" and "big tigers" who beat him successively, but they were directly slapped back by him for "not doing anything wrong, not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door".

​​But what he didn't expect was that "In the Name of the People" was broadcast smoothly after many twists and turns, and its premiere aroused unprecedented market repercussions. When

​​just aired episode 11, someone called him directly from , reminding him to be careful, don't get into a car accident when crossing the road , and even asked the show to remove several acknowledgments .

​​That's it, because of various factors, the show was finally cut off by 3 episodes and not all broadcast.

​​was subsequently imprisoned with a certain "big fish", and the reason why the show has not dared to replay it has been completely exposed.

​​It is reported that there are three main reasons. The first reason is that the subject matter is too realistic. The second reason for

​​is that he was put under pressure by this "big fish"; the third reason is that the copyright contract for this drama has expired.

​​Even if this show has never been rebroadcasted, the hot discussion about this show has never stopped.

​​I wonder what everyone thinks about the fact that "In the Name of the People" has never been replayed? Are you looking forward to the reruns of this drama? Welcome to leave a comment in the comment area.
