Recently, Zhou Xun was scolded a little miserably, and the studio's Weibo comment area was washed out.
The main reason for being scolded was that Zhou Xun's team reported and removed the video complaining about "The Legend of Ruyi", which aroused the anger of the audience and made the turmoil worse.
Today, let's take a look at the ins and outs of this turmoil, and see how this shocking giant cake that was once pinned on high hopes has fallen to this point today.
Scolding and scolding, scolding Zhou Xun's head?
One of the hottest topics recently is Zhou Xun's overturn.
Netizens' anger and judgment on "The Legend of Ruyi" were transferred to Zhou Xun himself.
The gimmick of the sequel to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and Zhou Xun's return to the TV series made the audience full of expectations.
It's just that after experiencing a series of episodes such as being preempted by "Yanxi Raiders", plot review, and delayed broadcast, "The Legend of Ruyi" not only faced the pressure of the explosion of the same series of palace fighting dramas, but also was ridiculed in the first episode because of Zhou Xun's face of a forced girl and the inconsistent plot.
Compared with the same series of "Yanxi Raiders", "The Legend of Ruyi" is a little lonely.
Until the rectification of radio and television in 2019, these two dramas were removed from the shelves because of extreme plots.
It's just that I didn't expect that the "war" continues.
At first, an UP master published an issue of complaints about "The Legend of Ruyi" in July last year, and was attacked by a large number of fans.
One of the remarks "You are not qualified to evaluate if you haven't watched the whole drama" aroused the rebellious psychology of the UP master, and began to complain episode by episode to reply to the fans of the drama.
Subsequently, the camp gradually expanded, and the majority of UP owners joined the team building project of "The Legend of Ruyi".
What are you scolding?
The heroine Ruyi's character design bears the brunt.
White Lotus, Man, Green Tea, Big Woman, Selfishness, Hypocrisy, Double Standard, Love Brain, etc.
For example, if someone else does bad things, he is only responsible for being as indifferent as a chrysanthemum; if he is framed by others and is unable to protect himself, he will only say that he is speechless.
As a woman who was suppressed in feudal society, she maintained imperial power and ignored the oppressed low-level laborers.
As a high-ranking person, he not only does not sympathize with the suffering of the people, but also slanders the lower-class women who yearn for class mobility.
Compared with the big hostess in the same period, the heroine in "The Legend of Ruyi" is indeed difficult to please.
The play is also filled with a lot of misogynistic and sadistic plots, which also makes the audience feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, the thinking logic of twisting is also the reason why the audience has been complaining.
Originally, the trial of "The Legend of Ruyi" revolved around the plot, but now, the war has gradually spread to the actors, and Zhou Xun has also ushered in the most serious word-of-mouth collapse in his acting career.
Some of Zhou Xun's previous speeches were all picked up by netizens and "repeatedly whipped the corpse".
There are even many netizens who say that she plays a big name in the crew, and in order to satisfy her dream of the Virgin Mary, the other actors of "The Legend of Ruyi" have become tool people.
The criticism of Zhou Xun has also risen to the most uncritical acting skills.
As the queen of the three golden films, netizens accused Zhou Xun of not being emotionally good enough in the play, and his acting skills were not as good as other supporting roles.
Some netizens compared "The Legend of Ruyi" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
An old drama many years ago was collectively condemned by netizens, what did Zhou Xun do wrong?
How did Zhou Xun fall from the altar?
Zhou Xun's reputation collapsed, largely because he reported the removal of relevant videos on the grounds of "infringement of the right to reputation" and the team sent a lawyer's letter warning to the UP owners.
Adding fuel to the fire is that the fans of the drama search for amateur UP masters, and announce each other's privacy without authorization.
This made the audience's rebellious heart completely aroused, and the creative desire that should have cooled was ignited again, and even Douyin and Xiaohongshu joined the complaint.
The public also directed their anger at Zhou Xun and began to judge her in all directions.
On the one hand, it is a question about Zhou Xun's identity as an actor.
first questioned her own team style, which made Ruyi's style and costume look very separate from the whole show.
Playing a big name and changing the script without authorization makes the plot worse.
then questioned all the works in her entire career as an actor, saying that Zhou Xun did not have a big hit drama, her acting skills relied on marketing, she only loved the role of Xiaosan, and the three golden actresses were not worthy of her name.
used to be a talented actor with a compelling aura and the first three-gold slam actress in Chinese film history, and overnight became a water queen who relied on marketing to fight for position.
On the other hand, it is a trial of Zhou Xun's private life.
excavated her past love history and remarks, and thought that "The Legend of Ruyi" was her true color, and she was also a love brain outside the play.
and then fabricated rumors to prove that Zhou Xun's character was not good, which made many people believe it.
This online trial gradually rose to deny everything about Zhou Xun, and some of her criticisms were also puzzling.
Although the way Zhou Xun and his team covered their mouths and deleted posts was indeed inappropriate, the audience's approach of denying all the actors because they hated a character was really biased.
Now Zhou Xun and then Wang Churan before, under this generalized all-round judgment, how should we look at it rationally?
Generalized all-round trial
Behind Zhou Xun's failure to deal with the crisis of public opinion this time is the transformation of the discourse power of the times from traditional media to individuals.
This tactic of deleting posts, covering your mouth and sending lawyer's letters is obviously outdated.
In the era of print media, the right to speak can be firmly in the hands of traditional media.
But in the Internet era, personal opinions can be resonated with everyone, and then covering their mouths will only backfire, arouse the anger of the audience, and transfer dissatisfaction to the actors.
began to "compete" with actors: digging up black materials, turning over old accounts, and stirring up more people's emotions to vent their dissatisfaction.
Wang Churan also affected her work because of her unlikable role, and the milk tea brand she endorsed was implicated, but her own handling of not deleting posts and not blacking out successfully reversed public opinion.
At present, in the face of the public's ridicule, lying flat and waiting for the turmoil to pass is the best strategy, and cold treatment is far more mature than heat treatment.
Second, this kind of generalized all-round trial also shows that the current Internet atmosphere is becoming more and more intolerant.
In the past, we could achieve the separation of people and plays, and just scold the characters.
Now, not only do you have to scold, but you also have to confuse the actor and the character, and use out of context, personal attacks, etc. to transfer anger.
In the era of information explosion, we must point out the problems of film and television works and the lack of actors' own strength with a fair and objective attitude.
You can't blindly vent your emotions and be swept up by the tide of public opinion, and lose your judgment of independent thinking.
Film and television workers should also accept the criticism and complaints of the audience with an open mind, instead of feeling that everything is fine as soon as they delete it after "breaking the defense", and maintain a humble attitude in order to bring more and better works.
We can't deny Zhou Xun's achievements because of Ruyi's failure in portrayal, actors' careers are already good and bad, and it is too arbitrary to deny other screen classics with the failure of one character.
The audience likes the moving Zhou Xun, but they will not surrender to this aura forever.
If the actors, like the characters, will only "look at each other immediately on the wall" and can't give us a better look, then the audience will have to "cut off their hair as a sacrifice".
"Lan Yin Flocculent" applies equally to the audience and actors.
