Chapter 1768 - 1766: Comment Reversal
But this is an uncertain account, isn’t it? No one can really confirm that this is Mu Yeli.
It seems the name Mu Yeli has a lot of influence.
If it’s uncertain, it’s like this... if it were confirmed...
On the third day, after Li Bingxin’s drama aired, it received consistently good reviews. Everyone watched it with great interest. Being a historical drama, everyone found it pleasing to the eye, and the plot was accepted by most people.
Meanwhile, Ye Zi’s drama reached a high climax, and every day people kept refreshing the plot on Pinterest.
In the evening, Ye Zi attended an interview, during which a journalist asked, "Your drama clashed with Ye Ning’s, didn’t you know?"
Ye Zi replied, "Oh yes, I’ve been paying some attention to recent TV dramas."
"Do you know about the declining viewership of her drama?"
"That?" Ye Zi chuckled, and said generously, "I think people are a bit too harsh with their expectations of actors. Actually, this has nothing to do with Ye Ning, it’s related to the script and the timing, all of which play a role. It’s not fair to blame Ye Ning alone."
"So, do you think it’s the timing that was off?"
"Maybe there’s an issue with the script itself. I think perhaps the producers didn’t handle it well. After all, audiences are increasingly demanding; if a plot is too foolish, they won’t accept it. When we take on a script, we need to raise the bar. We’ll especially review it repeatedly to see if the script is too silly, if the plot is unreasonable, and if it relies too much on cheap thrills or tears, none of which work now."
This clearly implies that Ye Ning’s drama is all about cheap thrills and excessive crying, and the script is garbage, which caused the drop in ratings, right?
The implication is clear enough.
Then people online started talking immediately.
"Did Ye Ning’s drama fail miserably?"
"This is Ye Ning’s first show after her return, it should be quite important, right?"
"What’s the team doing? Why did they let her take on such a script initially?"
"I also think the team should take the blame; the drama is somewhat exaggerated."
Generally, if everyone is saying it’s good, those who think otherwise won’t dare to speak up. But once someone says it’s bad, immediately many people will join in saying it’s terrible, and the criticism gets more severe.
At night...
The plot begins to twist.
"Apple" entered a high-energy storyline.
Originally, we thought it would continue to be a sob story, but unexpectedly, on this day, the character played by Ye Ning began to rapidly grow. Finally, she put away her usual weakness, and fate forced her to face her current situation. When she’s desperate, she bites into a bread she found in the trash and starts thinking about how to get revenge.
She takes her first step.
Online, the original Fairy Fan Club started posting motion graphics from the drama.
In the images, Ye Ning biting into the bread with an expression like she’s filled with venom, making the viewers’ blood boil.
Subsequently, in a high-energy plot, she begins investigating the Young Master of the Fu family and starts by targeting her future mother-in-law, Madam Fu, played by Jinhua.
Online sentiment quickly reversed.
"Wow, Ye Ning was stunning today, so convincingly wicked. It was so satisfying to watch."
"Ye Ning is so beautiful, especially when she’s wicked like that."
"What do I do? My moral compass is skewed; I think Ye Ning is so cool."
A plethora of people online started being drawn to Ye Ning’s character.
