A while ago, I saw my son buy a white outfit and a white head cover, and I thought he was going to play a wise old immortal with a white beard from a mythological drama. I never expected him to be the male lead in this drama, a villain covered in blood. It's truly unbelievable that a villain could be the male lead!
It's too terrifying. If I, a woman, hadn't gotten so engrossed in the show, shouting "husband" like a lovesick fool while holding a photo of Jiang Yulei, I wouldn't have known that such a mental poison even existed in Chinese dramas!
The male lead's values are distorted, and the female lead is even more terrifying. When she doesn't act, it's one thing, but the moment she makes a move, she kills her boyfriend's entire family. Truly venomous and insane.
Why hasn't a show like this been taken down sooner? What are they waiting for?
Was this show not reviewed before it was released? What were the staff doing to allow such a show to get broadcast rights?
Boycott! Strongly boycott mentally poisonous dramas that harm children's physical and mental health!
Yes, absolutely boycott! Boycott to the end, no matter what, we can't let such a cancerous growth harm our children!
The strong boycott by parents formed a wave, spreading across the internet like wildfire.
The Beijing News: "The drama 'Tian Jian Qun Xia' has, overnight, become the target of parental attacks. Is the problem with the drama itself, or are parents overreacting and looking for trouble? How should we view this from a philosophical perspective?"
Pengpai News: "After so many years of development in martial arts dramas, besides the last century when Jin Yong wrote Ah Zhu to death and Long Nu losing her virginity, this is the first time such a strong boycott has erupted. According to incomplete statistics, parents who have filed official reports to the General Administration number no less than a thousand, and those who have registered online accounts to boycott the drama are no less than ten thousand. The lead writer here appeals to all citizens and parents to view this drama rationally!"
Xiaoxiang Evening News: "'Tian Jian' is currently one of the few phenomenal hit dramas with a huge impact. It is understood that parents have been eagerly forwarding boycott posts in WeChat groups like 'Loving Family.' The power of aunts and uncles is terrifying. If this matter is not handled properly, 'Tian Jian Qun Xia' can only be taken offline."
Dongnan Morning Post: "The nationwide wave to boycott 'Tian Jian Qun Xia,' while fueled by parents afraid of their children being mentally poisoned, also requires us to calmly consider whether someone is behind the scenes, pushing the situation, using the guise of parents caring for their children's well-being to stir up trouble and attack opponents! 'Tian Jian Qun Xia,' in the final analysis, is just a television drama."
...
Major news media outlets published various comments and reviews regarding the incident.
In fact, a few media outlets, like Dongnan Morning Post, suspected foul play, suggesting that someone was deliberately causing trouble by exploiting parents' concern for their children's mental health.
After all, the resources in the entertainment industry are limited.
If one group takes up more, another group gets less.
Many only saw the explosion of popularity of "Tian Jian Qun Xia," but failed to see the immense impact this drama had on the film and television industry.
Firstly, the male lead, Jiang Yulei, achieved deification with his brilliant portrayal of Xiao Ting, directly becoming a top-tier male celebrity.
His popularity even surpassed that of Le Zheng Yu, who became a leading actor after playing the male lead Jin Shi Yi in "Yun Hai Yu Gong Yuan."
Previously, such overwhelming star-making momentum was only seen in special themed dramas like danmei adaptations, which capitalized on the fan base of fujoshi.
