Before its premiere, no one was optimistic about " The Strange Tales of Luo City ". Even the fans of Wen Zhao, Lu Chiyan and Gu Xia'an dared not praise it, for fear that if they praised it too early, their favorite actors would be ridiculed by more people if the show did not perform well.
Therefore, until the broadcast began, the fans of all three groups were timid and submissive, too afraid to utter a word.
Unexpectedly, " The Strange Tales of Luo City " lived up to expectations, so much so that fans felt a surge of pride overnight.
Even bystanders were protecting the three fan groups. Anyone who dared to criticize the show or its characters was immediately stepped in by the fans.
As a result, " The Strange Tales of Luo City " broke the platform's record on just three days after its premiere, becoming the most popular drama of the year.
Wen Zhao won the Best Newcomer Award and the Best Actor Award for his role in " The Strange Tales of Luo City ".
Lu Chiyan won the Best Supporting Actor Award and the Most Popular Actor Award for his role in " The Strange Tales of Luo City ".
Gu Xia'an won the Best Actress award for her role in " The Strange Tales of Luo City ".
The screenwriter and director of " Strange Tales of Luo City " even won awards for their cinematography and music.
You could say they won a grand slam.
Just as the hype surrounding " The Strange Tales of Luo City " was fading, Lu Chiyan's film " Red Spider " was released.
With " The Strange Tales of Luo City ", Lu Chiyan gained a lot of fans, and on the first day of the release of " Red Spider ", almost all screenings were sold out.
Everyone who came out was full of praise, marveling at the plot and even more so at Lu Chiyan's performance.
On the night of its opening day, a trending topic appeared on Weibo.
#Lu Chiyan's acting skills#
When Lu Chiyan first saw this trending topic, his heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, will this trending topic criticize his acting skills?
Generally, if a trending topic is one that praises someone, the keywords will clearly state that it's positive. But if it's something that's neither good nor bad, clicking on it usually leads to something negative.
Lu Chiyan breathed a sigh of relief after clicking on the trending topic with an extremely uneasy heart.
It wasn't people criticizing him; the comments section was almost entirely filled with praise.
