Although Wen Yan has gained quite a few fans over the past year, compared to the combined fan base of so many other groups, it's still a drop in the ocean.
Fans clarified that there was no chance for them to show their faces at all.
No matter what they post, it will be drowned out by the high-profile comments from other fans in no time.
Some people even shouted.
'Since you say it wasn't your master who did it, then let her come forward and clarify. Not clarifying is tantamount to admitting it, and that's the truth.'
Fans of the actress were left speechless, both amused and exasperated.
'I already said she has no signal in the mountains, how can I clarify? She has no idea about this at all.'
"Haha, so now you have the excuse of no signal in the mountains? When my family was filming in the mountains, we still checked in on social media every few days to let everyone know we were safe. So yours is different, huh?"
"No way, are you guys being reasonable? It's not just her who's without internet; no one in the entire crew has posted anything, which means they're all without internet!"
However, the fans' explanations were nothing more than 'sophistry' in the eyes of other furious netizens, and no one listened to them at all.
This was just the first step in their attempt to bring down Wen Yan.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of posts appeared online marketing Wen Yan's persona as a rich, beautiful, and successful woman.
These posts were extremely exaggerated, praising Wen Yan to the skies and using the same tactics of comparison and denigration.
They selected several female celebrities from rural and impoverished backgrounds for comparison, successfully angering their fans.
These past few days, netizens who love gossip have been doing nothing but watching Wen Yan get criticized every day.
Poor Wen Yan is still stuck in the mountains, enduring the cold wind and eating steamed buns.
Forget about internet access, there's no phone signal at all.
Unfortunately, Shen's brothers were either on business trips abroad or filming in remote areas, so they were unaware of her situation.
Fans are eager to contact her but have no way to do so.
Outside, only her fans, who are obsessed with her looks, are left to fight this battle alone.
Fans are absolutely furious about this press release that portrays her as a "rich, beautiful, and successful woman."
"I've said it thousands and thousands of times, she doesn't have a team, she couldn't possibly be doing this kind of marketing. Why are you all choosing to be selectively blind!"
'When did she start marketing herself as a rich, beautiful woman? She's been in the industry for so long, why didn't she do it sooner or later? Why did she have to do it now that she's being attacked online? Is she stupid?'
"Please, open your eyes and look! Every time Wen Yan appears in public, she has never said that she is a rich, beautiful, and successful woman. The only time she mentioned her family was at the premiere of 'The Voice' when fans celebrated her birthday, and she said she was going home for dinner that night."
As for that bracelet that the marketing accounts are talking about, please, she's a female celebrity! So what if she owns a few pieces of valuable jewelry? Can't she buy them herself? How does that make her a "rich and beautiful" or "second-generation rich"?
The fans are right about that.
Wen Yan has indeed never publicly revealed her family or relatives.
Rational onlookers are generally more inclined to believe the fans' clarification.
But at that moment, another voice suddenly emerged.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! How many scandals in the entertainment industry have been exposed over the years? You guys who only care about looks are desperately trying to defend them, but your masters don't dare to say a word."
"And also, your masters will soon be proven wrong! The more enthusiastically they boast about being a rich, beautiful, and successful woman now, the more they'll cry when their facade crumbles."
"Huh? You upstairs, do you have some inside information? What's the evidence? I want to know."
'I'll take a screenshot and show it to you; it'll make it clear at a glance.'
This statement was made.
Some so-called "debunking" messages immediately circulated online.
That was a screenshot of text.
The text content is:
Today I'm going to reveal a secret: Wen Yan isn't actually the rich girl you all imagine.
These identities were all fabricated by her to save face. She may be very successful as a celebrity, haha, but she's a real failure as a person and as someone's daughter.
Her father had lost his ability to work, yet she, as his daughter, refused to support him.
You've chosen the wrong person to like. I know most of you online are young people who like celebrities because you think they can have a positive influence on you.
But you shouldn't emulate Wen Yan; she was very unfilial, and you shouldn't follow her example.
Once the screenshot of this text was posted, it was widely circulated.
The fans of the actress's looks didn't expect things to escalate like this, and they are very angry about how it has developed to this point.
"Are you crazy? What kind of evidence is this? I can edit that too. I can use AI to write 10,000 words a minute!"
'Those of you trying to smear Wen Yan, what are you thinking? This person even misspelled the word "secret," and the punctuation is all wrong. Their speech is incoherent, like they're drunk. How dare you even show this?'
'Please, if you're going to spend money on bashing people, at least buy some good quality online trolls. This is hilarious.'
However, this point was quickly countered with a 'powerful' rebuttal.
Is it possible that this person knows so much, and that he is Wen Yan's father?
"Wen Yan's 'rich, beautiful, and successful' status is a marketing ploy, a lie, which means her original family's economic conditions and education level were quite ordinary. Her father's words perfectly reflect her family's situation. Can you expect a poor, uneducated, middle-aged rural man to write a beautiful essay?"
"That's absolutely right! Wen Yan's fans, stop arguing. Someone has already found that account and left a comment. The poster has already replied to netizens, admitting that he is Wen Yan's biological father."
