In fact, Huang Jing had also asked Jiang Ling when filming this scene.
Whether to change the plot, design Jiang Yufeng to resist entering the palace, and be ruthlessly killed by her own father, Jiang Biehe, with a palm strike, or arrange for her to run away from home, in short, not to be involved with Jiang Yuyan.
But Jiang Ling shook her head.
Admittedly, in the current entertainment industry environment, top-tier stars have immense influence, and even directors have to bow down and act subserviently.
Stars who enjoy such special treatment often force directors to delete negative plot points that are unfavorable to them, so as not to affect their real-life image by causing audiences to blur the lines between character and actor.
However, as an actress who has won numerous awards, Jiang Ling is well aware of the importance of negative plot points in shaping a character.
Just like Concubine Hua, whom she had just finished playing, why was the popularity of this character so high, almost catching up to the female lead?
Besides Hua Fei being beautiful, having a high颜值 (yan zhi, appearance value), good aesthetic taste, and a deep devotion to the Emperor that touched people's hearts.
There was another, even more crucial reason, which was that Concubine Hua had a lot of negative publicity and had caused the deaths of many people.
When many viewers spoke of Hua Fei's good qualities, someone would always bring up her dark history.
For example, poisoning Wen Yi, pushing someone into the water, instigating poison to harm the female lead, calling her both foolish and wicked.
Such complex characters with controversy often generate higher popularity than the male and female leads.
Some people loved her beauty and devotion, while others were repelled by her obsession with love and her wickedness. They argued back and forth, keeping her popularity soaring.
Jiang Ling knew this well and naturally did not want to alter Jiang Yufeng's scenes.
As Jiang Ling had predicted, Jiang Yuyan killing her own sister caused great controversy.
Many viewers denounced Jiang Yuyan as insane, while a large number stood on Jiang Yuyan's side.
[Although Jiang Yufeng is pitiful, Jiang Yuyan had previously advised her to leave and not to interfere with her plans. It was Jiang Yufeng who refused to listen, which led to her death!]
[If Jiang Yufeng had listened to Jiang Yuyan and left the Jiang family to find Xiao Yuer, she would never have died.]
[Jiang Yufeng's mother was malicious and cruel, not only tormenting Jiang Yuyan in every way but also forcing Jiang Yuyan to smash her deceased mother's spirit tablet in public with a cleaver. How could Jiang Yuyan not seek revenge for such deep-seated hatred? Repaying the mother's debts with the daughter's life, the mother is dead, so the revenge is taken out on the daughter.]
[I agree with the above. Jiang Yufeng's biggest mistake in this life was being born into the Jiang family and having such a hypocritical father and a vicious mother. As retribution, the sins committed by the parents are ultimately visited upon the daughter!]
[The entire Jiang family are villains. A naive and pure little white rabbit like Jiang Yufeng simply cannot survive here.]
Netizens who sympathized with Jiang Yufeng were furious and retorted.
[Being born into a family is destined. People cannot choose their family. Being born the daughter of the Jiang family was not what Jiang Yufeng wanted. Why should the sins be imposed on her?]
[Exactly. Victim blaming, what kind of robber's logic is this?]
[No matter what Jiang Yufeng's biological mother did, it is not an excuse for Jiang Yuyan to kill her own sister, because Jiang Yufeng never did anything to wrong Jiang Yuyan.]
Supporters and opponents argued fiercely, with various comments clashing. Jiang Yuyan's popularity not only remained unaffected but instead climbed steadily, making her a phenomenon that everyone discussed.
And as Jiang Yuyan's actress, Jiang Ling's popularity surged even further, with constant buzz, and netizens playfully teased her as the woman who lived under the trending search hotlist!
