Wang Yibo’s Fans Denigrate and Harass His War of Faith Costar Wang Yang and His Wife After Nomination for Best Actor at the Magnolia Awards

Why does most of any bad press for C-actor Wang Yibo always start with “his fans”. The latest brouhaha in C-ent is Wang Yibo’s fandom going berserk and publicly denigrating veteran C-actor Wang Yang, who starred in War of Faith earlier this year with Wang Yibo. The nominations came out for the Magnolia Awards hosted by the Shanghai Television Festival and Wang Yang was nominated in the Best Actor category. Wang Yibo was not, which already made his fans upset, but seeing Wang Yang who had less screentime than Wang Yibo in the drama get nominated for Best Actor just set them off. They have been posted horrible comments under his Weibo posts and collecting data that Wang Yang never got a Best Actor nod for any of the dramas he was the lead in but sneaked into a nom here when he wasn’t even the male lead in the drama. They have also gone on Wang Yang’s wife’s Weibo to harass her. Wang Yang deleted all those comments and the fans got even angrier calling him a coward who tries to hide the truth. Industry insiders are saying this behavior from Wang Yibo’s fans not only make him look bad but could get the attention of industry top wigs and may affect consideration of him for future projects and roles as well as other stars who are deciding whether to act with him.

  • Is it just me or does Wang Yang look like that one chinese guy from that kpop boyband super junior?

    Han Kyung?

  • Wang Yibo not only can’t act but is ugly as well. Unless he keeps taking gay roles so he can get homo shippers to be his fangirls, he’ll just end up looking embarrassing as heck especially when his acting career gets compared to his ex co star Xiao Zhan.

  • It would only be right if there were consequences for idols with toxic fandoms. This situation is very similar to football clubs with hooligans that got banned until they brought their followers under control.
    It is funny how WYB’s fans are getting so upset about this yet none of Wang Yang’s fans made a fuss when this experienced actor got third billing behind two idols. The positioning of WYB was clearly a decision motivated by the desire to attract traffic. The jury’s choice shows that they still recognise actors over traffic and it should be applauded by anyone interested in maintaining a certain level of quality in Chinese drama productions.

    • How did he Wang Yang get third billing over them when the director and producers begged him to join the drama? He was so busy that they had to film around him until he was finally able to join the production.

  • This is exactly who they are and what they have always done. They attacked XZ and his family, ZLY and her family so how is it a surprise to anyone that they are attacking this poor man and his family?? They have also literally reported Magnolia to the actual government because of this. How do you think Magnolia took that one?

    It's been literal years of their criminal behavior.

    If anything good comes out of this it's that the industry is absolutely done with them which will reflect on WYB who hasn't filmed in over a year now. Which production will say yes to him now, knowing what they have to deal with? And they have already been rejecting him before this so now it's even worse.

    • The government shutted down ZLY's fans, including ZLY, she was muted for a period of time. WYB didn't get in trouble, so ZLY fans were the more toxic ones.

      About this Magnolia award, it's only WYB's fans that are attacking.
      Zhao Liying didn't get listed so she's attacking Yang Zi and Tiffany Tang on the friggen news like MSN, she's crazy as hell.

  • Just like football clubs being banned because of their hooligan followers, there must be consequences for idols with toxic fandoms.
    WYB’s first billing in War of Faith was the producers vying for traffic. Wang Yang’s nomination can be understood as the jury’s reply that actors are more important than idols for maintaining the quality of drama productions.

  • The thing is, Wang Yang IS a main lead in WoF. His screentime, although lesser than Wang Yibo's, is still a hefty amount. I forgot the exact numbers but it was like WYB 700+ vs WY 550+ minutes while Li Qin is 300+. Yet WYB fans claimed that Wang Yang should be under supporting actor LOL.

    Now if we compare this screentime ratio to The Untamed, which WYB fans insisted WYB is a main lead... Excluding the screentime where both of them are appear in the same screen, XZ is 600+ while WYB is 100+ minutes. Back then WYB fans kicked up a huge fuss when Beijing Daily placed WYB in the supporting actor category for its awards, which caused Beijing Daily to remove The Untamed from its awards all together. Looks like that's what WYB fans are currently aiming for by repeating old tricks.

    • wow there was something like that? Lol I don’t understand why people use screentime as the standard, they should’ve look at the story as a whole.

      Thinking about it, untamed was mostly about wei wuxian journey, it’s actually more logical for him to be the only lead. The focus was never romance so his relation to lan wangji isn’t actually that important to the story

      • Screentime is related to the story though, if the story focuses on your role, it's natural your screentime will increase. But yeah it isn't the only factor to determine if a role is main lead or supporting. Wang Yang's role is pretty fleshed out in WoF.

    • His fandom is managed by his agency though. The fandom leaders who kick up this huge fuss are the same ones who have long been suspected of being his agency employees. All the yxh (aka marketing) accounts which often praise WYB are now speaking ill of Wang Yang.
