Hey guys, this is not drama related (you can ignore this), but I feel unfair for Cheng Yi that I wanted to share this. There's currently an issue (trending topic) about Cheng Yi "scolding audience" on Weibo and some haters have brought it to MDL. Basically, a clip from Cheng Yi's recent livestream has been circulating around saying that he is scolding audience on how to watch his drama. Most people DID NOT watch the whole livestream but focus on that particular clip only. But I'll include the words of a Weibo user that I agree with regarding this issue. I've translated her words but I suck at translating so please overlook some awkwardness in the translation. I honestly think what Cheng Yi said is not an issue at all if you look at it objectively from his standpoint and not through the lens of haters/fans.
All those who said that Cheng Yi educated the audience did not mention the reason why he wanted everyone to watch dramas in an immersive way. You can read his original words, "I hope everyone can be immersed in watching the drama, as an actor, (I'll) actually be very happy." That's right, as an actor, (he) of course hopes that a (his) drama will be watched carefully and chased by everyone, instead of accidentally missing the plot because of doing multiple tasks at the same time. From an actor's perspective, his viewpoint is normal. As long as you have a normal understanding ability, after watching the clip of Cheng Yi's livestream, you will understand that he does not mean that viewers should not watch the drama during fragmented spare time (e.g., during mealtimes, commuting after work), but instead, he means that viewers should not watch the drama in a fragmented manner, he does not hope that viewers watch the drama for 10 seconds and then leave to wash vegetables and brush their teeth etc and then miss out on minutes of the plot.
It's male centered theme, with a little bit of romance, bromance and siblings relationship. It still has a love line, bcoz one of Cheng Yi's character has a wife. And if you paying attention and reads carefully, they clearly don't write romance in the tag because it's not the main focused, but it'll still has it like mysterious lotus casebook. And what's wrong with a little bit of a romance?
所有说成毅教育观众的人，都绝口不提他希望大家沉浸式观看电影看戏的原因。大家可以看看他的原话，“希望大家沉浸式去看一下，作为演员其实是很开心的”。没错，作为一个演员，当然希望一部戏被大家仔细看、连着追，而不是因为同时在做其他事情而不小心错过剧情。从演员的角度，他的观点是正常的。只要大家理解能力正常，看完就知道他不是说让大家别在碎片化时间（例如吃饭的时候、下班的公交地铁上）去看剧，而是不希望剧集变得碎片化，不希望大家因为刷牙、洗菜等的事情，看10s又离开一下，然后错过几分钟的剧情。
