Not long after, it was just past 8 PM.
@Screenwriter Chen Feng: âI admire her boldness. @An Lanâ
The attached image was the private message Shi Lan had sent in the middle of the night, which included her insights and suggestions about the character Fan Yan.
Apart from the mosaic parts, netizens could clearly see that the screenwriter had drawn red lines in some places and circled a few key parts.
Shi Lan had said the following:
âFan Yan has received quality education from both Eastern and Western cultures, her vision and breadth are extraordinary; intelligent women characters like her should be positioned as sharp blades.â
âA mature work encompasses love, family, friendship, as well as patriotism, national honor, and the dichotomy of loyalty and treachery. Charactersâ emotions should originate from their experiences, backgrounds, and fates.â
âPlease consider removing the romantic scenes from Fan Yanâs role, allowing her to have her own soul.â@@novelbin@@
Immediately after, the screenwriter posted a second Weibo.
@Screenwriter Chen Feng: âThe script has been amended, unrelated to anyone else, only for Fan Yanâs character, looking forward to the new you. @An Lanâ
The attached image showed the first ten episodes of the latest script for âSmoke Beauty.â
Following the clarification from screenwriter Chen Feng, Huahai arranged for it to trend on hot search.
Also, related entertainment accounts actively guided: âThe best relationship between a screenwriter and an actor is when you accept my suggestions and I give you my performance. @An Lan @Screenwriter Chen Feng everything else is irrelevant, looking forward to An Lanâs brilliant performance in âSmoke Beauty.â
Other screenwriters also issued their opinions.
@Blade Fire Dance: âIâm not afraid of actors having demands, but of actors having none, learned a lot, improving together. @Screenwriter Chen Fengâ
@Screenwriter Lin Qi: âSo, what does this have to do with Gu Chengyu and his fans?â
âThis screenwriter is truly bold, directly stepping on the uncomfortable line of Gu Chengyu and his fans.â
During the day, there was a lot of fuss, while one side boycotted and reported An Lanâs Weibo, and now the truth was out, it had nothing to do with them.
Isnât that a face as big as a basin?
Self-indulgent?
Confusion award?
Although at this time the netizens still didnât buy into the âlittle green teaâ An Lan, they were also displeased with Gu Chengyu and his fans for trying to pin everything on An Lan.
âIâm not a loyal fan, just find it funny. Gu Chengyuâs fans kept saying An Lan was changing her persona to fawn over their âbrother,â wanting to increase romantic scenes, but who would have thought An Lan wanted to remove the romantic scenes, awkward right? Hahahaâ¦â
âHas his fanbase shot out past the universe? Poor An Lan, sheâs been cyberbullied again.â
âAn Lan had previously listed Gu Chengyuâs merchandise on Xianyu (online marketplace), claiming she was blind before, so is she now trying to focus on her career?â
âBullying An Lan because she has no fans, Gu Chengyuâs fandom being toxic, shouldnât they come out and apologize?â
âHave the bootlickers really stopped licking?â
Since An Lan had no fandom, while Gu Chengyu had tens of millions of fans, the disparity in popularity meant that even though the screenwriter came out to clarify the facts and made it to the hot search, the public space was still clearly dominated by Gu Chengyuâs fans.
Apologize?
Nonexistent, since avoiding romantic scenes doesnât mean she wonât add other types of scenes.
At that moment, a casual like from Yan Shixiu, the new CEO of Huahai, caused a huge uproar.
@Little Bunny: âAn Lan has no fans, so the rational voices of the public are drowned out by Gu Chengyuâs fans. An Lan used to be annoying, but as a girl, she has faced one round after another of cyber violence, almost driven to suicide, and Gu Chengyuâs fans feel no guilt but intensify their efforts? The brutality on Weibo sometimes makes me question life. #âSmoke Beautyâ Screenwriter Clarification#â
It was this post that successfully caught the attention of Huahaiâs CEOâ¦
