Because there were also a lot of Sheng Yan’s fans under this Weibo post, the Tikeepers were afraid that calling him Fat Emperor would anger Sheng Yan’s fans, so they had a stroke of genius and spontaneously started calling him Pang Hu instead.
Thus, many netizens scrolling through the comnts would see a "Pang Hu is the best, Pang Hu is the fattest" ssage every three posts, leaving onlookers to express:
Who is Pang Hu, I don’t get it [helpless shrug].
The Crystal Bear Award in Berlin isn’t a major accolade, but being selected for Berlin is a good thing, especially when this good news was announced after Sheng Yan had been nominated for the Golden Bear Award—it’s an added bonus!
He Jinxia also had a part in "World," and her selection this ti also served to vindicate "World" from another perspective.
The strength of "World" is beyond doubt, with every actor who participated being a master of their craft!
Soon, #He Jinxia "Eighteen Years Old Sky"# hit the trending searches list, right behind #Sheng Yan "World"#, with everyone curious about what the film "Eighteen Years Old Sky" was about and hoping it would be released soon.
At this mont, the official Weibo of "Eighteen Years Old Sky" stepped forward and tentatively scheduled the release date, which would be after participating in the film festival, and shared a brief introduction to the movie.
The production team planned to use a hunger marketing strategy, not releasing information about the film too soon but rather releasing a little bit every other day, striving to keep the topic trending until February of next year.
Although He Jinxia was skeptical about the production team’s ability to keep the topic trending for so long, she still cooperated with the team and revealed news on her official account, such as releasing so stills from the drama and so on.
He Jinxia’s popularity was unrivaled for a ti.
However, the online world is inevitably a place of dispute—with affirmation cos skepticism, and with affection cos disdain.
Even if Sheng Yan is a superstar born from Huaxia, he will still have a large number of haters, let alone He Jinxia.
This ti as Sheng Yan was in the spotlight competing for Movie King, the haters didn’t dare to mock him openly—doing so would definitely lead to attacks and backlash.
But He Jinxia was different; she was still just a second-tier actress with few works, and the Crystal Bear Award wasn’t considered a major prize, so her haters were very active.
Also, since both were stars under the banner of Tonghua Entertainnt and were successively announced as Berlin nominees, Sheng Yan’s haters were also drawn towards He Jinxia.
[Impressive, impressive, this is the first ti I’ve seen a celebrity step on Sheng Yan to boost their own heat.]
[It’s also my first ti seeing it, Sheng Yan is really selfless, handing over such a good opportunity for He Jinxia to rise to the top alone.]
[Don’t talk nonsense, Sheng Yan and He Jinxia are from the sa agency siblings, and they starred in "World" together. Sheng Yan is already a superstar; isn’t it appropriate for him to give He Jinxia a boost?]
[Tsk, you’d deny you’re a brainless fan, but I actually feel sorry for Sheng Yan. Whether he’s being stepped on for others to gain heat or sharing the heat, you can’t even tell the difference.]
...
With just a little provocation, so of Sheng Yan’s true fans beca restless.
[What do we do? I also feel like Emperor Sheng is having a tough ti. All the buzz this ti has been harvested by He Jinxia. Clearly, Emperor Sheng’s nomination for the Golden Bear Award is cause for celebration, so why is everyone now only discussing He Jinxia being nominated for a special screening section in Berlin?]
[The news online is true and false; Sheng Yan’s hopes of becoming the Movie King are very slim. How co it turns around that He Jinxia’s chances of winning the Crystal Bear Award seem very high?]
[I also think they’re stepping on Emperor Sheng to hype He Jinxia!]
Such voices grew louder and louder to the extent that Sheng Yan’s official fan club could no longer ignore them.
The president of the fan club urgently debunked the rumors in Sheng Yan’s personal site and the official fan group, asking fans not to overthink and to prevent the fans of both from clashing with each other.
The Commander of the Imperial Army: "Everyone, don’t overthink it. Both are from Tonghua Entertainnt and have previously collaborated. They’ve both been nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, which is a cause for celebration!"
"The press releases issued one after the other were arranged by the company and also with Emperor Sheng’s consent. Please do not start fighting online; otherwise, it’ll be awkward when Emperor Sheng and Pang Hu et each other in the future."
With official guidance, fans started to think rationally and clarified on the internet the news that set one against the other. They tried their best to prevent the fans of the two celebrities from quarreling and fighting among themselves, so as not to beco a laughingstock to outsiders.
However, even so, there were still so fans who did not have a good impression of He Jinxia.
It was not just about being jointly nominated for Berlin, but ever since "World" hit the screens, He Jinxia had used the na of "World" to trend on social dia many tis. The number of tis he trended was only slightly less than Sheng Yan, which so Emperor Sheng fans found annoying.
No one wanted to see their idol make wedding dresses for others, not even if they were from the sa company or had a good relationship working on the sa project!
Friendship is one thing, competition is another. In the entertainnt circle, even the best of relationships contain an elent of competition!
Celebrities might be indifferent and not care, but the fans who worry about them can’t do the sa.
This affair planted a ticking ti bomb for He Jinxia, which would explode at so point in the future.
At the mont, He Jinxia was oblivious to all of this.
The storm outside did not affect the two still shooting on set. Ever since their topic exploded in popularity, Huami stepped up the filming schedule.
Huami wanted to finish filming as soon as possible and then announce the news of their spokesperson to ride the wave of popularity for promotion.
Without a doubt, this made life even more difficult for Qin Siqin and Yu Yanyu, who now lived a life of toil— if they weren’t sleeping, they were filming, including the commute to the filming location.
Seven days later, Yu Yanyu successfully completed all his scenes and left the set on schedule.
Nine days later, Qin Siqin also finished her difficult shoot and left on schedule.
With the departure of the two main actors, what followed were the scenes of Sheng Yan and He Jinxia. Both actors demonstrated their professional dedication by working overti and managed to complete the originally planned five-day shoot in just two and a half days.
On the day they left the set, it was December 12th, and the "Falls Star Celebrities List" was officially released, with Sheng Yan making significant progress up the ranks!
Last year, Sheng Yan had already entered the global TOP 100, ranked 67th.
This year, Sheng Yan, with the global box office top ten hit "World" and various high-profile appearances including modeling for PDZ, knocked on the door of the global TOP 50 and was ranked 51st!
He was just one position away from being among the top fifty highest-paid global celebrities.
This official list once again fiercely slaps the faces of those who had previously mocked Sheng Yan.
Washed up?
That’s just not possible.
Influence diminishing?
That too is non-existent.
You might think Sheng Yan is washed up in Huaxia, but official investigations and studies have shown that Sheng Yan’s global influence is steadily on the rise.
After the official rankings were announced, dostic awards also began to announce their shortlists.
