This humble wish is the final request of a 20-year fan of Feng. Thank you everyone.
This Weibo post is accompanied by a lot of pictures.
There is a screenshot of the project approval for "Tianji Tower" taken from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China;
There are stacks of various versions of "Phoenix Playing with Dragon";
There are screenshots of Xiao Fengque from various film and television versions;
There are GreenBan ratings for various versions of "Phoenix Plays with Dragon", as well as all sorts of meme-filled and sarcastic comments below;
There are screenshots of Xiao Fengque's fan activities on various platforms, such as the number of followers on Tieba, the number of fans on Weibo super topic, the number of participants in Douyin topic, the number of fan outputs on the Liangcang APP, the total number of views on the Weibo #XiaoFengque# topic, and the number of followers on the Pilipili video website tag; not only Xiao Fengque's own, but also the same screenshots of martial arts characters from other different authors and works - it can be seen that the latter's fan activity is far less than the former.
There was also an old copy of "Phoenix Plays with Dragon," with a yellowed piece of paper tucked between its pages. On it, written in childish handwriting, were the words "Forever love Xiao Fengque." It seemed to be quite old...
The sincerity, bordering on obsessive, practically overflowed the screen. The comment section was filled with tears; both new and old fans of Xiao Fengque huddled together for comfort, their sorrowful tears stretching for miles.
The reposting section was equally lively. As a classic martial arts character, Xiao Fengque also has his own fan page on Weibo—
Xiao Fengque's homepage reposted this Weibo post, with the following text:
More than twenty years have passed like a dream, I listen alone to the sound of the tides on the river. A monologue from an old Phoenix fan, I hope everyone will take a look. [crying][heart]
As a gathering place for Xiao Fengque's fans and book lovers, Xiao Fengque's homepage still has a great influence. Many fans forwarded this heartfelt Weibo post, and even some casual readers who like martial arts novels joined in the fun.
[This is so well written... I can feel the overwhelming affection it conveys.]
Good heavens, twenty years! Longer than my life!
It's really heartbreaking to put yourself in their shoes; your favorite characters are remade time and time again, and each time you feel hurt...
[Xiao Fengque! My childhood goddess. I even saw a pirated copy of his comic book in a bookstore.]
[Holy crap! My grandparents and parents loved reading "Phoenix Plays with Dragons," and now they're adapting it into a movie again?!]
[Holy crap... that former entertainment industry god of war, one drama sent six top stars to their deaths, I couldn't have harvested six leeks that fast!]
Xiao Fengque, this fictional character, is very popular with the general public and has a high level of national recognition. She's the kind of character whose name you've heard of even if you haven't watched "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon".
Fans of female characters are generally more loyal, and fans of anime/manga characters are even more so. Therefore, most of the feedback received on this Weibo post was positive.
Of course, there were also some reposts and comments that were not quite in line with the style of the original posts.
[Seriously, does nobody care about the other martial arts characters being dragged into this? Praise Xiao Fengque if you want, why bring up other characters?]
[I checked the original poster's Weibo; they've never used Weibo before and only came here because of Xiao Fengque. They probably don't understand anything about "including" or "carrying" him. Don't be so sensitive.]
【I'm sensitive? So the character being dragged down isn't one you like? Easy for you to say when you're not the one suffering the consequences】
【Ugh, you're really irritable, maybe take some Huoxiang Zhengqi pills to regulate it. Listing data is considered putting people down, but are you only satisfied if you censor your idol's face?】
I don't know, but the one that was filmed four times and was blurry each time isn't my main character. I hope the fifth remake is a complete flop!
[There's a dead person on the right. The original poster is a very nice person, just ignore them. //I don't know, but the one that's been blurred four times in four takes isn't my main character. I hope the fifth remake is a complete flop~]
[You've already broken down? Isn't it true that Xiao Fengque ruined four projects? Xiao Fengque's lameness is your name, your failure is your fate.]
[You're the one who broke down, aren't you? Xiao Fengque ruined four projects that remained popular for fifty years, while your real-life counterpart has been remade ten times and is still nowhere to be found~]
This Weibo post was retweeted hundreds of times, and Jiang Shang Nong Chao Sheng and Yi Tian Zhao were tagged hundreds of times. Apart from some strange arguments and insults, the reactions of fans and onlookers were mostly surprise, emotion, and reflection.
Even the boatmen on the river were moved.
In any case, knowing that the characters you created are loved by people is never a bad feeling.
Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng's private messages were flooded, mostly with opinions on the movie "Tianji Tower," and some expressing comfort and affection. Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng did not choose to ignore them, but clicked on and read them one by one.
On the other side, 103 watched Shang Yechu tapping away on her phone screen and fell silent.
The system rarely showed surprise—but at this moment, it watched as Shang Yechu became a "big fan" and a "twenty-year veteran fan" in Xiao Fengque's fan circle in just three days, stirring up trouble within the circle and even manipulating the direction of the fan circle, guiding fans to form groups to give feedback to the original author...
Even 103, who is practically invisible and dead every day, couldn't help but be surprised.
Perhaps it was because Shang Yechu's image of working tirelessly on set was so deeply ingrained in people's minds that 103 had always thought of Shang Yechu as a passionate and dedicated actor. Now, seeing him stirring up trouble on the internet, 103 felt a strange and unfamiliar sense of unease.
While switching between alternate accounts to stir up trouble, Shang Yechu sighed, "Sure enough, Weibo is still so easy to start an argument."
"What are you doing?" 103 couldn't help but ask, "Are you arguing with yourself using a secondary account?"
"To be precise, I call this 'torturing fans,'" Shang Yechu corrected. "Let me tell you a truth—the most valuable fans are those who are tormented."
"..."
103 said, "You—you didn't want to take the route of becoming a talent-driven actor?"
"Yes. What's wrong?" Shang Yechu didn't even look up.
"What is the relationship between these things and the powerful faction—?" 103 Mechanical's tone carried a rare hint of doubt.
"Even talented people need opportunities to showcase their abilities, right? Who would know you're capable if you spent your whole life playing minor roles?" Shang Yechu clicked send. "I'm giving myself a chance to demonstrate my abilities right now."
"Manipulating fan circles, scheming against other people's roles, scheming against the original author and director, and even scheming against other people's 'love'?" 103's tone was indifferent. "Aren't the methods you use to fight for opportunities a little unscrupulous?"
"..." Shang Yechu looked at the void in surprise for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Shang Yechu laughed until tears streamed down her face. She hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time, and she didn't even care about switching to a secondary account to fight with someone.
"What are you laughing at?" 103 asked after Shang Yechu stopped laughing.
"It's nothing, I just think the word 'love'... Pfft, it's ridiculous coming from you." Shang Yechu wiped her eyes. "Do you even know what love is? Saying that to you is more laughable than Li Yi saying he can act!"
103 paused for a moment: "I really don't know what that is. But that doesn't stop me from thinking that what you did was despicable."
Xiao Fengque is a string of characters, while 103 is a string of data. The two are essentially similar. Therefore, 103 felt a little empathy for Shang Yechu's use of Xiao Fengque's fans' emotions to pressure the director and the original author.
“That’s what I like about you.” Shang Yechu didn’t care at all about 103’s derogatory words. “You just tell the truth—you’re like a mirror.”
It truthfully reflects my ugliness. Shang Yechu didn't say this aloud.
"Let me tell you the second truth," Shang Yechu said as she continued typing.
“Here, love is a commodity, directing is a commodity, screenwriting is a commodity… and I am a commodity too. Everyone needs to be calculated and then put on the shelf.” Shang Yechu’s eyes were clear as a mirror, and her smile was gentle.
"Of course, on the shelf, love is more noble. Much more expensive than us."
