[Entertainment Gossip V]:
[Top 5 Chinese Entertainment's Anti-Korean Campaign Pioneers: Li Yifeng Takes the Top Spot by a Wide Margin! Are the Five Returned Idols Actually Inferior to Local Campus Heartthrobs?]

The accompanying photo is of Li Yifeng in a white shirt, posing in a campus setting, emphasizing a pure and natural beauty, which contrasts sharply with the red carpet photos of the four XO members with their exquisite makeup.

The comment section was instantly flooded with a large number of "bees":
"Take away Fengfeng's beauty! Don't try to piggyback on the fame of those heavily made-up, Korean-style celebrities!"

"Look at the ratings for 'Bone Sword,' this is what a national idol should be!"

The tone shifts abruptly when someone mentions Gu Qing:
"Hilarious! This variety show personality dares to call himself a top star? He's nothing but a foot masseuse in South Korea."

"Our Fengfeng is the undisputed campus heartthrob, isn't he a hundred times better than those mass-produced trainees?"

Three o'clock in the morning,

#Gu Qingnan's Korean Foot Washer# suddenly became a trending topic.

A hot post suddenly appeared on a gossip forum:
"A Deep Dive into the Rise of a Certain Variety Show's 'Royal Family': Baby (Angelababy) Gains Popularity Through Playing the Victim; Does a Dropped-Out Korean Celebrity Deserve to Be a Top Star?"

The accompanying photo is a blurry picture of a practice room, in which a figure resembling Gu Qing is seen tying someone's shoelaces in the corner.

In the hashtag 【Protect the best Feng Feng in the world】, top fans are distributing messages that flood the entire page:
"Focus on #ChineseEntertainmentDoesNotNeedKoreanWavePuppet#, and tie Gu Qing and the four returning idols to their fate!"

"Avoid official accounts and focus on targeting casual users!"

A massive operation targeting the five former members of EXO who returned to China was launched.

Besides Li Yifeng's own company, many other entertainment companies were also behind the scenes, eager to take this opportunity to bring down several top celebrities.

But these people made a mistake: they wanted to attack too many people!
If they unite against Gu Qing alone, it would be easy to suppress him.

After all, as a newly popular top star, he didn't have time to cultivate a die-hard fanbase, aside from a relatively large number of casual fans.

Furthermore,
Without strong support, the company would find it almost impossible to withstand explosions.

This could involve the four returning sons.

That would be great fun.

nowadays,
XO's fans are currently engaged in a fierce online battle with the fans of TFBOYS.

but,

Leveraging their age and wealth, they still managed to overwhelm the three boys, whose fanbase consisted mostly of elementary school students.

Just as they were about to celebrate, another shameless and slutty woman came to provoke them!
"Do these dead bees think we, the EXO fans, are easy to mess with?!"

"It's one thing for those three kids to provoke us, but where did this scallion come from to show off? Is he out of sauce, or is he just asking for a beating?"

"Pah! He dares to use Gu Qing to associate himself with our third-generation group? He's just a trainee who hasn't even debuted yet, does he even deserve it?"

"Sisters, don't rest yet, let's tear down this bee colony's home!!"

Personal fan groups of the four returned members

Planet Fan Group

Fans who had internet access to comment all launched a counterattack.

Even more extreme, some infiltrated the bee's fan group and started spamming the chat:
"This silicone-faced guy dares to call himself a natural school heartthrob? Do I need to release a Blu-ray version of the video where his acting in 'The Heiress Arrives' was completely outshone by the supporting actress?"

"Nation's Little Brother? Your old face is so callous you could fry oil in it if you touched it! You dare to pretend to be innocent?!"

"Laughing at those sour grapes, while your idol was winning a big award at MAMA, that school heartthrob was still playing minor roles in the theater."

"There must be someone who doesn't know that getting into SM Entertainment is harder than getting into Tsinghua University, right?"

In a rare instance, fans of the four XO brands formed a united front and launched a violent counterattack.

In the midst of the melee,
Someone dug up Li Yifeng's agent's alternate account, which contained screen recordings of him liking and criticizing others.

The hashtag #LiYifengBullying# went viral instantly.

Netizens also discovered that the producer of "Bone Sword" had followed Gu Qing's personal blog.

at the same time,

The official Weibo account of Running Man even posted a tweet @Gu Qing: Welcome our national little brother.

The accompanying image shows Gu Qing wearing a white shirt, like a refreshing breeze in early summer, exuding an untainted purity, which is a stark contrast to the previous promotional material.

Public opinion is completely out of control!
In the past,

With the help of the current cold-loving crowd in China, he really can single-handedly fight against the four returning idols.

But now, there's an extra "five" among the four. Gu Qing, thanks to his performance on Running Man, has become a top star for a limited time by attracting a large number of casual fans, and his popularity with the audience is off the charts.

She possesses both the formidable fighting power of EXO-Ls and Gu Qing's exceptional popularity among casual fans.

This explosion-proof plan has been a complete failure!

The announcement was withdrawn, marketing accounts deleted videos, and bees returned to their hives en masse...

The five returning players achieved a resounding victory!

Who dares to say that Five of a Kind is no good?

……

While the "Second Century War" was raging in the Chinese entertainment fan community,
What is Gu Qing, one of the main characters, doing?

He's studying the script!

"Sha Qianmo...Sha Qianmo...How exactly should I act this out?"

In the hotel, Gu Qing was frowning as she lay on the bed, reading the script sent by the production team of "The Journey of Flower".

He hasn't been idle lately; besides recording variety shows, he's been studying scripts.

This was his first time acting, so naturally he had to be extremely focused.

According to the advice provided by Teacher Zhang
Actors should usually read the script first, and ideally, they should take notes and analyze the character's personality.

This is what is commonly known as a biographical sketch.

Gu Qing not only read the script, but also read the original novel.

Whether it's a TV series or the original novel from a previous life,
Sha Qianmo is a highly charismatic and complex character, whose personality blends beauty, domineering presence, and deep affection.

His domineering aura stemmed from his status and position; as the ruler of both the demon and monster realms, he was revered as the 'Holy King'.

Meiyan is his "unparalleled beauty that makes people ignore gender", and he is recognized as the most beautiful person in the six realms. He is even narcissistic and extremely concerned about his appearance and attire.

He was eccentric by nature and unrestrained by worldly conventions. Even when Hua Qiangu mistakenly called him "sister," he did not correct her, but instead regarded it as a compliment to his own beauty.

The deep affection is in the later stages.
The initial encounter between Sha Qianmo and Hua Qiangu stemmed from a familial bond that arose from his obsession with the death of his younger sister, Liu Xia.

What followed was the usual change in feelings.
From familial affection to selfless romantic love,

Later, during the war between immortals and demons, he lost control due to hatred and was devoured by the demon's soul.

In the end, to save Hua Qiangu, he sealed the demon god with his life, took away her last soul fragment to help her reincarnate, and died in her arms.

This is a relatively traditional, devoted male second character in film and television dramas.

A good performance can be very popular and easily win the audience's sympathy.

The problem is,

Gu Qing understood both Sha Qianmo's domineering yet deep affection.

But when he actually demonstrated the facial expressions and movements in front of the mirror,
Gu Qing felt so embarrassed that her scalp tingled.

It's exactly the same thing that those content creators used to criticize young male celebrities in the吐槽 videos he used to watch.

Making faces, lacking emotion, delivering lifeless lines, just expressionless...

The only good news is,
He is indeed flawless in appearance, perfectly matching the character of Sha Qianmo, and is not entirely without merit.

"I have tomorrow off, so I'll go visit my teacher at her house."

Gu Qing made up her mind.

Instead of figuring it out himself, it's better to find someone offline to help him figure out how to improve it.

In the case of teaching step by step,

Gu Qing felt that even if she was stupid, she could still make some progress.

At the very least, he can't be worse than those expressionless pretty boys!

After waking up, Gu Qing, accompanied by her assistant, went straight to Teacher Zhang's house.
