It frustrates me to no end when a star’s own fandom ends up being his or her worst enemy, and this happens a lot in C-ent moreso than other industries. In trying to promote and fight for their own star, it ends up leaving other fans disliking said star. The latest backfire is with Chen Zhe Yuan, who just got another step up to S+ level male lead opposite Dilraba Dilmurat in the upcoming C-drama Love in the Turquoise Land. Sounds good except now Dilraba’s fandom is vocally not wanting him and not liking that she will have to work with him because they see his fandom as backstabbing and grasping in the way it tried to override the original billing arrangement in Sword and Fairy 4 with him and Ju Jing Yi. Sword and Fairy 4 ended up doing posts where in one post she’s first billed and in another he’s first billed, and it’s basically splitting the baby in the worst cop out way. The drama Turquoise Land is still a go with him as male lead since Dilraba is too established as a top actress so she’s not scared of Chen Zhe Yuan or his fandom, but industry insiders are saying other female actresses are watching his camp closely and are indeed not eager to work with him.
