Chapter 389

Here in Saudi Arabia.

Lin Mo naturally also knew the news that 《Hannibal》 would be airing.

Now it is 9:30 p. m. Saudi time.

Lin Mo and Re Ba had just returned from the set.

Re Ba, upon learning that 《Hannibal》 would be airing, excitedly told Lin Mo: "Husband, Chao Ge and Yin Ziwei's drama will air tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Lin Mo nodded.

"Now, online domestically it's all promotion for this drama; netizens are all extremely excited!" Re Ba continued.

Suddenly, Re Ba thought of something and burst out laughing: "Husband, do you know? Lei Jie's filming of 《Blossoms》 is still doing reshoots.."

That was yesterday.

In the Flower Less group chat, everyone was chatting lively; Re Ba @ Xin Zhilei, asking if the reshoots for the 《Blossoms》 TV drama were done.

If she hadn't asked, it would have been fine.

But once she asked, Xin Zhilei's situation was miserable.

They said they were still filming, and no one knew when it would finish.

Qin Lan was still saying then.

She said Director Lin's new drama had finished filming and was about to air, while Xin Zhilei's 《Blossoms》 had been filming for almost a year and a half.

That's not it.

Lin Mo, upon hearing that, couldn't help but laugh.

"Given Director Wang's personality and habits, it's very likely that 《Fast & Furious 2》 has wrapped and been released, yet he's still polishing it!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Right, I'd forgotten—earlier when I and Lan Jie visited the set, Director Wang had asked me to pass along his message: he wished 《Fast & Furious 2》 a prosperous shoot and big box‑office success!" Speaking of this, Re Ba then remembered.

"Yeah, I know!"

Chen Yingying.

As mentioned before, she is a die‑hard fan of Yin Ziwei.

Because of the role of Han, she wildly likes him.

As for the drama 《Hannibal》, she of course knew about it.

Thinking that it would air tomorrow, Chen Yingying felt very excited and happy.

Likewise, online there are countless fans of Yin Ziwei eagerly awaiting the drama's broadcast.

Of course.

Moreover, a large portion of netizens are there for Chao Ge.

After all, Chao Ge is a top‑tier domestic star.

Furthermore, Deng Chao hasn't appeared in a TV drama for a long time.

Everyone surely wants to watch it.

At the same time.

Xu Dongdong was also in a video call with Yin Ziwei.

"Husband, your drama airs tomorrow—are you looking forward to it?" On the video call, Xu Dongdong chatted with Yin Ziwei while eating dinner.

Saudi Arabia is a few hours behind domestic time.

Right now, Xu Dongdong has just returned from outside.

She went shopping today with her best friend.

"I'm really looking forward to it, but when you watch this drama, don't let me scare you~" Yin Ziwei said with a laugh.

"Pfft, I've been to the set to watch you film before—how could I be scared? ~"

Xu Dongdong indicated she wasn't the slightest bit afraid.

She also knows the role her husband plays.

A social elite by day, but a cannibal behind closed doors.

What's there to be afraid of?

She's also seen those banned films from Xiang Jiang before.

Then Xu Dongdong chatted with Yin Ziwei about how his filming in Saudi Arabia was going.

Although the drama 《Hannibal》 is not bad,

but what she truly cares about is still the super‑blockbuster 《Fast & Furious 2》.

The next day.

The broadcast time for 《Hannibal》 was set at 8 p. m.

Because there are only 13 episodes total, though each runs over an hour.

Cough cough..

Originally it was just over 40 minutes, but they probably added some ads in the middle.

Everyone who knows Penguin Video's operations understands.

So, when 《Hannibal》 just started airing, Penguin Video only released two episodes.

Netizens originally wanted to criticize Penguin Video.

But after opening it, they discovered the runtime was actually over an hour.

Goodness, that's comparable to a movie's length!

"First!"

"Ah, the first episode is 1 hour 15 minutes long!"

"6666!"

「South Korea, South Korea, South Korea, South Korea, South Korea!!! 」

「Finally can watch! 」

「Ahead, selling melon seeds, mineral water! 」

「Penguin is still quite punctual this time! 」

「...... 」

「When Hannibal started airing, the screen was full of bullet comments, a dense mass. 」

「Many of them came just to see something new. 」

「Besides the actors being good, 」

「There is also a very big reason. 」

「That's Lin Mo. 」

「Director Lin personally wrote the script, and everyone wants to see how it turns out. 」

「On the other side. 」

「At Deng Chao's home. 」

「He and his wife are also watching the first episode of Hannibal as it airs. 」

「Wow, honey, your show's popularity is this high right after it airs! I estimate the first episode will break all kinds of records on Penguin Video! 」 Sun Li, seeing the dense bullet comments on TV, said in surprise.

「As someone who often watches dramas. 」

「Just by looking at the bullet comments, you can tell whether a show is quality. 」

「Without a doubt. 」

「Hannibal has just started airing, and its popularity has already exploded! 」

「Of course! You haven't even looked at who's acting in it! 」 Deng Chao said narcissistically.

「Give it up, look at these bullet comments; they're all here for Director Lin~」 Sun Li directly exposed him.

「Cough cough, let's watch the drama, let's watch the drama! 」

「Deng Chao naturally also saw these bullet comments and quickly changed the subject. 」

「As for his son and little daughter, they're doing homework in their room. 」

「Besides, this drama isn't really suitable for them to watch. 」

「After all. 」

「There are some scenes inside that are not suitable for minors to watch. 」

「Actually, it's not that bloody. 」

「This is domestically produced; if it were truly bloody... 」

「It wouldn't pass review, even if it were Lin Mo. 」

「The show Hannibal itself is meant to highlight the protagonist Hannibal. 」

「That extreme contrast in character design. 」

「Only then do so many fans take a liking to the character Hannibal. 」

「Of course, people aren't saying they like cannibals or anything. 」

「But rather they like the actor who plays Hannibal, that elegance, that temperament... 」

「Soon. 」

「Hannibal's first episode has already started. 」

「The opening of the first episode is full of suspense and tension. 」

「The story begins with a bizarre serial murder case, the victims brutally killed and arranged in some kind of artistic pose. 」

「Deng Chao plays Deng Li, a special talent invited by the police to assist in solving the case. 」

「Deng Li possesses extremely strong empathy, able to reconstruct the killer's psychological state from the crime scene, but this ability also makes his mental state fragile. 」

「During the investigation, Deng Li encounters the turtle Hannibal, that is, the role played by Yin Ziwei, an elegant and mysterious psychiatrist. 」

「Hannibal appears to be a refined social elite, skilled in cooking and art, but in reality he is the serial killer the police have been hunting, a cannibal hiding behind a glamorous façade. 」

「How to put it? 」

「The film's lighting and shadow, as well as the characters' dialogue, the acting is very good. 」

「So the audience finds it very comfortable to watch. 」

「Until Yin Ziwei's Hannibal appears, his first appearance can be called classic. 」

「The camera slowly pushes in; he wears a well-tailored suit, sits in an exquisitely decorated office, holding a glass of red wine, his expression calm. 」

「Yin Ziwei's eyes are deep and calm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of an inscrutable smile. 」

「The whole scene is filled with an atmosphere where elegance and danger coexist. 」

「Yin Ziwei's appearance immediately sparked a frenzy in the bullet comments: 」

「Ahhh! Yin Ziwei is too handsome, right? This temperament is off the charts! 」

「Is this the legendary elegant pervert? Love it, love it! 」

「Hannibal's aura is also too strong, right? Yin Ziwei's acting is explosive! 」

「This suit, this red wine, this gaze…… I just fell to my knees! 」

「Holy shit, so handsome! 」

「This temperament is really amazing! 」
