"The thief cries 'catch the thief,' heavens, what kind of world is this?"
"Capital is not omnipotent; relying on your power and influence to bully people is just a pipe dream!"
"Don't cry, Wenwen, justice will ultimately triumph over evil. Those who bully you will face retribution!"
"There's foul play behind Zhao Hede's role. My Wenwen must have been bullied!"
...
Just then, the main actors and extras from the drama "Empress in the Palace" all posted on Weibo, denouncing Lü Wenwen and strongly supporting Jiang Ling.
Ren Donglin, who had many scenes with Jiang Ling and played the Emperor, and Ya Ya, who played Zhao Feiyan, showered Jiang Ling with praise for her acting skills on Weibo.
Ren Donglin: "Miss Jiang's acting is the best among her peers that I have ever seen, bar none. When we acted opposite each other, it was almost a one-take completion. Her original voice dialogue is exceptionally good. I believe every actor who acted with her would feel the same." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Ya Ya: "Jiang Ling and I play sisters in the drama. I must admit, as the younger sister, her acting is far, far better than mine. I'm a few years older than her, but purely in terms of acting, she is a senior I greatly admire and learn from."
Following that, Gao Biao, Xie Yuxin, and others who had acted opposite Jiang Ling in the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" crew also reposted their Weibo posts, highly commending Jiang Ling's superb acting, saying it was stunning and that she was a true powerhouse. They insisted that her portrayal of Zhao Hede could never be considered method acting.
With actors from two recently popular drama crews speaking out in support of Jiang Ling, even the paparazzi, who were always eager for trouble, sensed a conspiracy and began to shift their focus.
Unsuspecting audiences, upon seeing this, also started to wonder what was truly going on behind the scenes. Could it be that Jiang Ling was indeed being framed?
The moment this thought arose, the number of people scolding Jiang Ling significantly decreased.
Support for Jiang Ling's voice surged.
These supporters included not only Jiang Ling's devoted fans and true admirers but also some of Lü Wenwen's detractors.
The reputations of traffic stars are often polarized; there are many true fans who support their idols, and just as many who dislike them.
As the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
A large number of anti-fans who couldn't stand Lü Wenwen's lack of acting skill and her diva-like behavior joined forces with Jiang Ling's fans to verbally attack those who were slandering Jiang Ling.
These supporters of Jiang Ling, who had been drowned out by the overwhelming tide, suddenly found an opportunity to voice their opinions and immediately became energized, creating a frenzy.
The fans of both sides engaged in a fierce online battle, trading insults. The Weibo comment section instantly became more lively than during the New Year.
Seeing actors from both drama crews speaking out for her simultaneously, Jiang Ling felt both happy and touched, but also a sense of foreboding that irrefutable evidence was about to surface.
Otherwise, even if these actors had a good impression of her and were willing to speak up, they wouldn't have acted with such coordinated timing.
As expected, not long after Ya Ya, Gao Biao, and others voiced their support, the conclusive evidence was revealed.
First, a self-proclaimed staff member from the "Empress in the Palace" drama crew broke the news online, complaining that Lü Wenwen not only failed to act properly during filming, frequently used body doubles, and could only recite numbers for her lines, but also bullied and humiliated the crew members.
The exposé immediately stirred up a massive storm.
"Damn, so that's how it is. If I were the director, I wouldn't want such a terrible actor involved in filming either."
"That makes sense. Looking at Lü Wenwen's previous roles, each one was more eye-searing than the last. The director must have been unable to bear her 'poison' and decided to replace her with Jiang Ling."
