After Chen Wenyu posted, the official Weibo account made the announcement.
As a popular variety show that had already released one season, it had gained a lot of loyal fans. Evaluating Actors China was a variety show which filmed a director’s perspective on the pre- and post-production work which happened in the film industry. The directors also gave professional comments on actors involved in a production, and introduced viewers unfamiliar with the industry process to a brand new world of understanding. The variety show had a lot of fans, and after the first season ended, many people had frantically requested a second season.
Also, it was said that in order to give the audience a more immersive experience, the production team was going to broadcast live this time so that the audience would have an even more direct view of all the problems that directors might face while shooting, as well as how they solved them.
When the news was released, the production team immediately gained a lot of expectant attention from fans.
However, the lineup of directors and special guests wasn’t announced for a long time. The production team only said that it would be different from the first season. The second season would pair an industry big shot with a newbie, firstly, to encourage new directors, and secondly, to combine tradition with new strength in order to create new sparks and advance the development of the domestic film and television industry.
Two top directors from the first season, Chen Wenyu and Qiu Lihua, already indicated that they would also participate in the second season, but it hadn’t yet been announced who the two newbies would be.
There was a lot of speculation online.
Everyone waited to see who would be lucky enough to be selected by the two big shots.
It was said that countless people went to the production team to recommend themselves every day; even Zheng Jian, a new director whose recent drama had become popular, hadn’t been selected. And now…
Lu An?
The daughter of a nouveau riche upstart, who was less than 18 years old? The younger sister of the most infamous artiste in the entertainment industry, and the person online users were currently disgusted with?
Sh*t!
There was immediately another round of abuse online.
So, had “Luo Mingshi’s” official Weibo account uploaded a video of Lu An giving comments and directing actors to pave the way for this?
Did they really think that just these few things were enough to prove that Lu An had the foundation to become a newbie guest director on Evaluating Actors China?
It was a good thing these online users had comrades with discerning eyes, and they discovered that she had a corrupted moral character and was just creating hype. Otherwise, they might really have been deceived!
Speaking of which, what was the production team thinking?
Do you think we are so easy to fool?
The furious keyboard warriors started typing:
[F*ck you! The production team and Director Chen were bought by that trash, right? How arrogant is she? Messing around with Luo Mingshi wasn’t enough, she’s now trying to mess around with Evaluating Actors China? D*mn, I’ve never hated the nouveau riche so much in my life! One look at the loan shark and you can tell he doesn’t look decent; who the hell knows how he earned his money. Aren’t the higher-ups going to investigate? Have they all been bribed? It’s a pity that I’m not capable enough, and can only watch as the world turns dirty! F*ck!!!]
[I’m so d*mn disappointed, f*ck! In the future, even if I’m bored to death, I won’t watch these people’s works! Evil capitalists; I’ll suffocate at home for the rest of my life, and won’t let you earn a single cent from me! F*ck! My tears are falling. Is this the sorrow of this era?]
[Come, come, come, everyone say it together with me: Boycott @Lu Xiao’an! Boycott @Lu Boran! Boycott the trash family! Give me back Luo Mingshi! Give me back Evaluating Actors China! Give me back a pure and spiritual land!]
There was a passionate outcry.
Suddenly, someone shouted —
[Everyone, hurry up and go take a look. The trash forwarded a lot of the most liked comments. That arrogance… is she muddle-brained? I don’t get it!]
