Although there have been some minor issues before, this show is still very popular. On the day Jasmine participated in the episode, a few minutes before the broadcast, some audience members were already switching to the Blue TV.

 

This episode is indeed quite exciting.

 

When it came to the second group, the segment they were about to perform turned out to be a scene from the popular drama "Girls" from this summer, which made the audience extremely enthusiastic.

 

Before they selected some movies with a long history, many young audiences hadn't seen them before, so they couldn't intuitively compare whether they were good or bad, how bad they were.

 

"Girls" is different, most of the audience who usually like to watch dramas have seen it, and even those who haven't have a story foundation, so they can easily digest this segment.

 

The result is, as soon as the second group of actors finish performing, without the need for feedback from the mentors, the audience internally dissed them.

 

"Is that it? Just like that?"

 

It completely pales in comparison to Director Lang Jun's original work.

 

Ignoring the toxic male and female characters, the role of Sweet seems to have lost all its charm as if the halo disappeared.

 

In that drama, even if she was deceived three times in a row, the audience still finds her lovable and wants to comfort her.

 

But for another Actress, even with same role, listening to her ramble on in variety shows, the audience surprisingly can't empathize well with her, and they find this kind of overly sweet and naive love story annoying.

 

The audience is puzzled, ultimately concluding that this actress is not up to par -- choosing this role was a mistake, lacking self-awareness.

 

If Jasmine didn't take the stage later, this episode would have ended here. Tomorrow, the actress who play Sweet, would definitely be mocked and become a hot topic, and the audience would even compare scenes from the drama to show her how it should have been acted.

 

Just when it seemed like a lost cause, her savior arrived.

 

The final act of this episode was the one performed by Jasmine, Jin He, and Ren Yanfei. Due to the various rumors online, many viewers had high expectations for this act, but as soon as it started, question marks filled the air. (゚ペ)?(゚ー゚*?)? !!!∑(゚ロ゚!(゚ペ?)???

 

Thanks to the well-executed close-up shots, viewers watching on TV had a clearer view than those in the live audience.

 

Jin He was really nervous, trembling from the start.

 

Although Ren Yanfei's performance wasn't bad, since they were acting opposite each other, if one's state wasn't good, it would affect the other, creating tension and a bit of awkwardness from the beginning.

 

Even the three mentors couldn't hide their disapproval.

 

The audience was already thinking about how these two would be criticized later, pondering which one would be the main target of criticism. The stage darkened, transitioning to the second scene at the Aroma's home.

 

From that moment on, the audience couldn't take their eyes off her.

 

The role of this famous actress is indeed quite beautiful.

 

Watching Jasmine drag Ren Yanfei, who had just awkwardly delivered his lines, into the plot, and seeing Ren Yanfei's gaze when she sang made the audience understand how deeply Lord Fang was infatuated with Aroma back in the pear garden.

 

The audience wished they could prolong this scene, wanting to see more.

 

But all the beauty came to a sudden halt just as they were beginning to savor it, as Aroma succumbed to poison, leaving Lord Fang in disbelief and panic, filled with regret.

 

He had previously wavered in his feelings for Aroma due to Chen Qiushui.

 

Now the same situation falls upon Chen Qiushui.

 

Thanks to the well-developed emotions in the second act, the performance between Ren Yanfei and Jin He in the following third act was much better, emotions rose and erupted.

 

Not many viewers watched this so comprehensively, as many were still immersed in the scene where their "sunset glow" dissipated.

 

The camera shifted to the live audience, who were in tears.

 

Switching to the mentors' seats, the mentors were deeply moved.

 

Finally, viewers watching at home understood what those who came out to expose had meant.

 

In the second act of this drama, Jasmine and Ren Yanfei's performance was exceptional. Jasmine delivered a stunning performance, while Ren Yanfei also did well, transitioning from impatience to reminiscing about the past, it all felt real.

 

Most viewers also agreed with the mentors' feedback, though some had different opinions, but that's okay, after all, the mentors' comments are based on years of experience and insights, that's just how they interpret things and do their work.

 

The actors from the previous second act breathed a sigh of relief after watching the third act.

 

Feel that the audience won't even remember to diss them, they're so focused on Jasmine!

 

As expected, that night, Facebook, forums, and fan communities were all talking about her.

 

Excitedly, some were asking where this heavenly star had descended from? How can she make every role so lovable?

 

-- "I resisted Gu Pan, stood up to Sweet, didn't expect to fall here. I've always been defenseless against tragic beauties with ancient charm, like a short-lived yet brilliant girl glowing like the evening sunset, I'm too captivated."

 

-- "When she sang those lines, it truly felt like witnessing a legendary performer!!!"

 

-- "Are there any better Republican-era drama crews? Hurry and take your scripts to find this woman! Go find her! I can't wait to see her in a Republican-era drama!"

 

-- "Remember that poll, did anyone guess it was the evening sunset?"

 

-- "I guessed rainbow, kind of similar, right?"

 

--"I guessed shooting star."

 

Those focused on Jasmine liked to compare her to other actors in the same group.

 

Such comparisons often ended up being between males and males, and females and females.

 

In this play, with only one male character, since there was no one to compare to, the audience's evaluation of Ren Yanfei was relatively moderate. They said it started a bit tight, but later performed well, didn't drag the role down on stage.

 

But when it came to Jin He, they were dissatisfied.

 

-- "Did she just bring the youth idol drama routine directly to the stage? What was that beginning? I didn't see any love between Chen Qiushui and Lord Fang, it feels like the guy just came out to play casually, and the girl just went along because your family conditions are good, creating a whole awkward couple chatting on the surface. Just thinking about my 'evening sunset goddess' being poisoned because of this, it makes me want to vomit blood."

 

-- "Girls, listen to me, never punish yourself just because someone doesn't love you, if you really encounter such scum, find a way to deal with him! Don't seek death, if you die, you'll have nothing left!"

 

-- "In the drama, when Aroma died, Lord Fang was only sad for a while, it's not worth it to make such a fuss!"

 

-- "So, some men are just despicable! They rack their brains to make a fallen woman reform, when she reforms, they find it not spicy enough, ugh!"

 

-- "Girls, you're getting off track... talk about Jin He."

 

-- "Jin He, let's not bash her, maybe the pressure was too high and she got nervous and messed up, I've seen her in two dramas, her acting skills are okay, much better than some who widen their eyes in surprise, grit their teeth in anger, or smirk wickedly."

 

-- "It was a mistake to not be in the same group as Jasmine, previously in 'Girls,' she worked with Ni An lin Ling an Yu ZhiWei, and didn't lose. Now losing to Jin He? Is Jin He stronger than the previous three?"

 

-- "Program team's OS: If they weren't in the same group, should we have Jasmine go against the veteran who has been acting for decades? If the audience likes her and votes her to eliminate the veteran, wouldn't that be embarrassing for him? It's not shameful for young actors to lose to her, Jasmine's two TV dramas have broken an average viewership of 2, leading by a large margin in the Golden Eagle Awards voting. What's wrong with losing to her in the same age group?"

 

-- "I say Jin He wasn't as good as others, right? In our circle, we look at ratings for hot-themed dramas, and word of mouth for cold-themed dramas, did she excel in either? Do you have any classic roles that make your name known instantly? Stop boasting."

 

...

 

The anonymous forum is filled with hostility, the posts have that style, Facebook is slightly better, but criticism is still present.

 

Although Jin He is not a top-tier influencer, she has some fans. After the show aired, people in the official group were @ her, asking how she ended up in the same group as Jasmine? They felt she was at a disadvantage.

 

Jin He said, "Heaven knows."

 

After sending it out, she felt the statement was a bit heavy emotionally, and added, "[It's just a variety show after all, the show has its effects, don't take it too seriously.]"

 

-- "Jin, you're too soft and easy to bully."

 

-- Among the three performances this time, two of them are related to Jasmine. One performance featured her, and another used her play. Isn't this intentionally arranged? Even if Jin was placed in the previous group, she would still lose out. Look at the performance of Sweet in front, is there any good feedback?

 

— Don't be so biased. The previous one indeed lacked flavor. If they didn't perform well, can they blame the original play for being too classic?

 

— I carefully watched it. Jin might have been nervous, that's why she didn't fully express herself. It's not good if you say it like this.

 

Now, there are two groups of fans in the Jin He fan group fighting.

 

One group is a bit biased, thinking that the show's effect was not good because the TV station didn't support Jin but supported others. The other group is more rational, they like Jin but also have good feelings towards other actors. After hearing some words, they find it unpleasant.

 

As long as the complainers stop in time, there won't be any problems.

 

But the group managers can't let go.

 

As a result, those who spoke up for Jasmine were kicked out, and some fans turned against her, directly causing a stir on Facebook.

 

Jasmine is a hot topic, wherever she goes, there's bound to be commotion.

 

Both Facebook and forums are lively in the evening. Originally, there was some karma, but seeing the hostility of Jin's fans, they started to confront her.

 

— Please, Jin's fan, have some self-awareness and stop causing trouble.

 

— What kind of sour remarks are these screenshots? Have a look at what you played and the TV station had to heavily promote you???

 

— If I were the director, I would make you stand in for others because you are only qualified to be a stepping stone.

 

— The first to grab the script, actively wanting to play Chen Qiushui, thinking of passing the difficult role of Aroma to someone else, but unexpectedly, the person turned it around beautifully. I understand that competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, there aren't many good roles for young actresses, and it's all about competing, grabbing, tearing others down to get ahead. But can we be a bit more sober? If you want to pick a fight, find the right person. Don't come at my sister Jasmine.

 

— If you lose, just admit it. Do you have to say, "It's just a variety show, don't take it too seriously"?

 

-- "Previously, someone else was eliminated, does that mean they are not as good as those who advanced? Stop dragging others down, your whole family should die... "

 

— Acting so embarrassingly in the role you chose and still coming out to show off, truly annoying.

 

Because the results were so obvious, if you lose and jump out to say this, won't you get criticized?

 

Before, only the acting was criticized, but now she's being criticized and trending. Jin He felt wronged and explained on Facebook that after saying those two sentences, she went to apply a face mask, didn't pay attention to the argument in the group. If she had noticed at the time, she would have mediated between the two sides.

 

Also, regarding the script issue, she actively chose the role of Chen Qiushui, but it was a choice without a choice because playing Aroma required singing, and she couldn't sing.

 

Jin He wants to remind the audience that Blue TV already knew Jasmine could sing, deliberately choosing this script to showcase her performance space.

 

Do you remember, netizens?

 

They remember.

 

But so what?

 

Does the role of Aroma only have those few lines of singing? Didn't you see that she performed other parts very well too? As a modern drama actor, challenging a complex character from the Republican era for the first time and achieving this presentation is not a loss, right?...

 

Jin's fans assert that Jasmine must have received the script early, she was prepared to defeat the unprepared.

 

Jasmine knows that competition in this circle is fierce, sometimes even if you have never interacted with someone, they will dislike you from a distance, not for any other reason but resource conflicts or simply jealousy.

 

But she didn't expect it to escalate to this extent.

 

The roles were chosen by the other party, they read the script together, there were no conflicts during rehearsals, they didn't even have direct scenes together, so why the confrontation???

 

Jasmine finds this situation inexplicable.

 

While still pondering about how to handle the situation, Sister Chen called on WeChat: "Today's incident with Jin He is all about trying to salvage her pride after losing, but her own fans turned against her. She couldn't hit back at her fans, so she posted that Facebook. Jasmine, just rest if you need to, don't worry about it, Blue TV will handle it."

 

The clarification of this matter is quite simple. The official program released a WeChat screen recording of the conversation between the program team and Jasmine's manager, Sister Chen.

 

Initially, the program team mentioned arranging a modern script to reassure them.

 

Sister Chen replied, "A modern script is unnecessary, she wants to try a fresh role, please provide an interesting script."

 

The program team double-checked, asking if it wasn't a joke.

 

Sister Chen confirmed, and only then did they say OK. Moving forward, the chat jumps to the day before the program recording, where the staff reminded them not to forget the gathering time.

 

The WeChat screen recording did not show any sign of Jasmine accessing the script beforehand. The program team wanted to accommodate Jasmine by providing an easily manageable modern script, but she was not interested.

 

When this screen recording was released, netizens found it amusing.

 

-- Blue TV is always unyielding, while Jasmine is more reasonable. Even in this situation, why should she be treated like this?

 

-- Honestly, if Jasmine really wants to become popular through variety shows, I guarantee you'll see her on TV every day. Starting from "That Village, Those People, That Challenge", there are so many shows inviting her.

 

-- The sponsor of the neighboring restaurant show wanted her, specifically requested her, but she didn't accept. As an actor, she comes "Actors, Please get ready", she is polite on the show, performs well, why the criticism after the show finishes???

 

-- @Jin He, is this what you meant by previewing the script in advance?

 

-- @Jin He, stop hiding and come out to apologize.

 

Due to the need for caution in their statements, this battle in the entertainment industry is mainly observed by fans and onlookers, turning into a chaotic situation.

 

People within the industry are cautious, Jasmine herself has not suffered consequences. Even those who have had good relationships with her are cautious in their statements only when the situation is relatively clear. They might mention having cooperated on a certain project before, praising Jasmine as a great actress and a very kind person.

 

In situations like this, even public support is considered carefully.

 

Of course, there are more extreme cases.

 

For example, Ben, posted a short but impactful Facebook that infuriated Jin He: "[Really? Do you really think changing roles will guarantee a win?]"

 

It's not surprising that he posted such a Facebook, considering his relationship with Jasmine, it would have been strange if he stayed silent.

 

Initially, the comments under his post were light-hearted, until Yu Yang liked it, although he quickly unliked the post, the his fans noticed it.

 

Fans flooded his comment section with question marks, (? ?? ???)asking him to explain what was going on.
