We haven't seen any stage setup or equipment on the pierside, and there are no flags planted all around the ship. So the answer is likely no.

the Shandong, was delivered to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy and placed in active service on Dec. 17 at a naval port in Sanya.

Hopefully someday (soon) we'll see it with WS-10 J-15Ts.

Where did Shandong's hull number get painted? In Shanghai or Sanya, technically it can be done anywhere with a vehicle lift on board. I am wondering if Fujian leave Shanghai without hull numbers, is it going to sea trail again, or commission ceremony?

Gah, they might as well put the well known striptease tune on. Presumably the J-15T shots must come from the video/show that i understood to be aired at 20.00 on August 1st (this from the initial video posted yesterday)? No signs yet of J-35 and KJ-600 it seems.

My advice is just to expect and hope for nothing.

The events themselves have already happened, at this point seeing the footage is more just a formality.
