Li Hong Yi Loses Fans After He Tries to Calm Their Furor Over Him Getting Second Billing to Wang Chu Ran in Director Guo Jing Ming’s Next C-drama

This billing order shit is getting out of had, but then again it flares up and peters out in waves so I hope it dies down again ASAP. A new drama got cast this week and it’s relatively high profile, it’s the next drama from director and screenwriter Guo Jing Ming (Edward Guo) whose most recent drama was the stylish My Journey to You. It’s adapted from the novel Song Dynasty Female Assassin and has the new drama title (after a few changes) Feng Yin Ran Mei Xiang (烽影燃梅香 or Fire Smoke Ignites Plum Incense). It stars Wang Chu Ran and Li Hong Yi and apparently in that billing order which freaked out Li Hong Yi’s fandom who started to bitch and moan left and right how unfair and unacceptable that he’s playing second fiddle to an actress of Wang Chu Ran’s level (i.e. not high level). His fandom was fine when the female lead was reportedly Zhang Jing Yi but not fine now it’s confirmed Wang Chu Ran. He tried to calm his own fandom down by posting on his SNS that as an actor the most lucky thing is getting a good script, playing a good character, and being part of a good production team. He feels very lucky and will do his best to portray every character he plays. That caused his OWN FANS to leave him fandom and stop stanning him. Goodness gracious what’s next C-fans, how low can you go.
