Shen Lianlian's sarcastic remarks seemed to be a dig at "Nine Lives for Peace" to promote "Purple Mist Sky".
But "Purple Mist Sky" was already terrible.
Let's compare who's the worst of the worst, and see who's the worst?
Fans were speechless with anger after seeing the trailer being criticized.
The group collectively questioned the official Weibo account, asking why such a drama was produced.
"It's the 21st century, can't we just make a normal TV series?"
"Can't you make a normal fantasy drama?!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a terrible trailer. It seems like this show is really trash."
Other shows, no matter how bad they are, at least have well-made trailers.
Just like many games.
Make CGs with your heart, but play games with your feet.
(CG: Promotional video for the game)
No matter how bad the game is, the CG is always extremely gorgeous.
If they want to trick people into downloading and spending money on in-game purchases, they should at least make something real.
But the trailer for "Nine Generations of Peace" is just slacking off.
Preview: Keep slacking off, don't stop.
The fans of both sides were so angry they felt suffocated.
However, no matter how bad the trailer is, fans can only close their eyes and try to whitewash and praise it:
"This is a breakthrough for fantasy puppet dramas, and Shi Xi is very beautiful!"
"It's just a short web series, let's just watch the plot."
Seeing the fans trying to defend the cause, the audience became unhappy and started to mock them.
"Do they think we, the audience, are idiots? Did the production team spend all their money on hiring Shi Xi?"
"If you don't want to act, you don't have to. Just watching this trailer, you can tell the plot is going to be very awkward."
There was no money for publicity for "Nine Generations of Peace", and neither Shi Xi nor Pei Kai had any particular intention to announce it.
The fans then remained silent.
After all, Shi Xi didn't want to have anything to do with Huocao anymore.
Huobao had already given up on the show, so naturally they wouldn't spend money on trending topics for marketing.
This show just happens to be popular.
Even before it premiered, it had already generated more discussion than "Purple Mist Sky".
Even such a terrible trailer has 50 million views.
Before watching, a passerby said: "I want to see just how rubbish it is."
After watching, a passerby said: What they said is all true.
Just as everyone was cursing and complaining, Liu Yin, the director of "Nine Lifetimes of Peace," posted on Weibo.
Because the two parties had taken their conflict to Weibo, the director posted a clarification on Weibo.
@Director Liu Yin: "The budget for this film, 'Nine Lives of Peace,' was not high to begin with. We spent money on hiring actors, renting venues and equipment, and there was hardly any money left to use. We could only shoot whatever we could find."
There are always bad dramas like this every year, so you can't just criticize me because this one is bad, right? Why don't you criticize all those other bad dramas? Why are you only criticizing me?
Liu Yin felt extremely wronged.
But these words only made the fans more unhappy.
No matter how bad the show is, as a director, you can't just casually say it's a bad show, right?
Moreover, you knew it was a terrible show, yet you still made it?
"You don't have to take the job if you don't have the money. Nobody's forcing you to direct this show."
"I'm really fed up with directors these days. Instead of thinking about how to make a good drama, they start by playing the victim. They make such terrible dramas, who else should we criticize but them? They're really wasting my baby's time."
"So the director knew this was going to be a terrible show!"
The entire production team was just slacking off; the fans had already given up.
Whatever, do whatever you want.
Keep slacking off, don't stop.
Since both of them have new dramas and movies coming up, they don't really care about this one.
Just consider this time as a break.
For a time, the fans of both sides stopped cooperating with the promotion and simply promoted their own other dramas that were yet to be broadcast.
