I can understand more than 2 words unlike you lol so between the two of us you are the troll go away

What kind of sloppy editing is this? First Cheng Yi shows up holding the script, now he’s on screen in white platform Crocs 😳but the audience isn’t allowed to multitask while watching, right? lol

lol victim narrative both sides are suing eo this normal in Chinese fandom world but you ifans are extra dramatic lmao you guys are so funny

Yikes another unhinged comment lmao why are you all so dramatic? The exaggeration in giving reaction is so out of this world lmao

Uh? Can’t you read? Where is the slander? Not my fault if you guys can’t process more than 2 words per day

Oh my gaaaawd lmao the level of unhinged in this comment is historic. Are we watching a drama about drama fandoms, or a live demonstration of how bugs panic when the light flickers? Like… why are you Cheng Yi fans acting like the universe itself is ending because someone dared to criticize a subpar show? Calm down, it’s not personal, it’s not world-changing, it’s just a drama.

And omg, the way they’re bawling, listing names to form allegiance, and acting like some actor fans are literal gods that can change the flow of the universe ? Bwhahahahaha, it’s peak pathetic. Watching grown adults clutch their pearls over plot holes while preaching moral outrage like the fate of humanity depends on it….this is pure comedy. The sheer chaos energy is immaculate. Thanks for the laugh bwahahahahahahaha

Honestly, if you’re feeling this emotional over actors and storylines, maybe it’s time to step back from the fandom drama. Take a deep breath, drink some water, and remember that your mental health is way more important than policing who gets praised or criticized on screen. No actor or show is worth turning your brain into a chaos vortex .

This level of fan worship is nauseating and hella cringe 😬😬😬😬. If Cheng Yi were really sincere about his acting, we should have seen improvement in his dialogue enunciation and delivery. He earns millions yet still lectures viewers juggling jobs and chores just to watch. Many reviews point out that his acting has actually regressed in this drama, and his mouth still has a life of its own, acting more than his whole face or body. Respect goes both ways, and acting sincerely doesn’t give him the right to belittle the audience.

Classic fan logic at its finest. First, denying that CY fans try to spin things while ignoring the countless times they’ve flooded comment sections to defend every word he says. Then, appealing to ‘trustworthy statistical sources’ as if numbers erase the fact that real viewers are frustrated with a privileged actor earning millions lecturing them on how they watch their own subscriptions. And of course, the cherry on top: ‘Even if you are articulate, your argument must hold validity,’ because apparently calling out tone-deaf, condescending behavior is now considered ‘harmful.’ Here’s the newsflash: pointing out an overpaid actor belittling paying viewers is not harmful, it’s holding him accountable for being out of touch.

Selective deafness must be trending. Cheng Yi lecturing paying viewers on how to watch a drama isn’t a misunderstanding, it’s tone-deaf privilege. People aren’t ‘hearing wrong,’ they’re reacting to an overpaid actor policing their free time.

This is peak idol-worship 🙄 . ‘He doesn’t skip scenes’ well, congratulations, that’s literally his job. Acting is not a sacred gift, it’s paid work, and Cheng Yi earns millions for it. Meanwhile, the very viewers he criticized are also working hard, juggling jobs, chores, and daily responsibilities, yet they still make time to watch his drama. They don’t owe him reverence for doing what he’s already being handsomely compensated to do. Respect between actor and audience is mutual, not one-sided worship. Viewers pay with money, time, and attention, and in return they deserve a good product without being judged for how they consume it. The wave of criticism isn’t ‘slander,’ it’s a reaction to a privileged actor making a condescending remark about how people should or shouldn’t watch. If he can’t handle that, maybe he should focus on delivering a performance and a drama so strong that people naturally want to watch every second. Until then, no amount of fan essays about ‘respect’ will erase the tone-deafness of what he actually said.

See, this is exactly the problem. Fans keep twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify what Cheng Yi said instead of facing the obvious. It doesn’t matter if his ‘intention’ was pure or if he ‘hopes’ people watch immersively. The reality is he still told paying viewers not to waste their memberships if they watch while multitasking. That is condescending, period. He is not your teacher, not your boss, and certainly not your wallet. People have every right to consume entertainment however they like, whether that’s bingeing carefully or letting it run while they cook.

And let’s be honest, coming from someone earning millions per project while the average viewer squeezes in screen time between chores and work, it reeks of privilege and arrogance. It’s the same tone-deaf attitude that sunk Li Jiaqi during his eyebrow pencil livestream. Instead of addressing product value, he snapped at a viewer asking if they had worked hard enough to afford 79 yuan. People were furious because it exposed how out of touch some celebrities are with the realities of ordinary lives. Cheng Yi’s words carry the exact same arrogance, a rich star lecturing the very audience that props up his career.

The fact that fans are now calling anyone who criticizes him a ‘hater’ only makes it worse. Respect is a two-way street. If Cheng Yi wants viewers to treat his work with seriousness, then he should first deliver a drama so airtight and compelling that people want to stop everything to watch. Until then, lecturing the audience on their habits is nothing but privilege disguised as artistic sincerity, and audiences are right to push back against that kind of conceited haughtiness. At the end of the day, he doesn’t own the viewers, the viewers own him, because without them he is just another overpaid actor talking to himself.

Not my fault if u can only process 2 words per day

It’s incredible how out-of-touch Cheng Yi’s statement was. Your native speaker yourself can feel the nuance he spoke in a way that was extremely condescending, laced with a concealed haughtiness that made ordinary viewers feel belittled. Here is an actor earning millions lecturing people on how they should watch a drama. People multitask all the time washing vegetables, brushing teeth, grabbing a quick bite and he acts like doing so is a moral or intellectual failing. He demands that viewers watch “seriously” while his own performance, for which he is heavily paid, often fails to deliver. Many of his fans then attack anyone who dares criticize him. It goes both ways.

Multitasking while watching is reality for millions of viewers in 2025. For Cheng Yi to dismiss that is arrogant and insulting. He’s paid to perform, yet even that he struggles with, and now he thinks he can scold viewers for how they enjoy content. This is pure privilege disguised as artistic goodwill completely unhinged and unrealistic. Instead of acknowledging that people engage with media in different ways, he elevates his personal preferences into a standard, making ordinary viewers feel guilty for living their lives. Condescending, tone-deaf, and entirely unnecessary.

*So now ordinary citizens voicing frustration are automatically ‘haters’?
No, they’re calling out a privileged actor who thought he had the right to lecture paying viewers on how to watch a drama. It’s tone deaf in every sense. Viewers are the ones paying for memberships, boosting ratings, and keeping his career afloat, not the other way around. If someone chooses to watch while cooking, brushing their teeth, or just half paying attention, that’s their right as a consumer. The arrogance of scolding the very people funding his millions is wild. Respect should go both ways and until he can deliver flawless work on screen without plot holes and slip ups, maybe the last thing he should be doing is policing how people enjoy their own subscriptions.

It’s good you see it that way, because the reality is the production staff are just hoping they can still get work after this drama made their reputations tank.

Yeah netizens pointed out that Cheng Yi tone was very condescending and it comes across as very judgmental toward the audience. Instead of acknowledging that people consume content in different ways, it basically “scolds” viewers for not being fully focused, which is unusual and can feel disconnected from reality especially since multitasking while watching is extremely common. It reads less like guidance and more like an unnecessary judgment of how people choose to watch. What makes it worse is that he’s an actor raking in a fortune, while ordinary viewers have to multitask just to catch a drama between daily chores. Acting like they shouldn’t criticize is completely out of touch.

You can watch it yourself. It’s all over Weibo and probably on X too, though CY fans will rush to spin it into something positive. CY basically said you cannot criticize the plot if you’re “washing vegetables or brushing your teeth” while watching. No matter how fans try to make it light or righteous, it doesn’t change that his statement was tone-deaf. Multitasking while watching content is literally everyone’s reality in 2025. And why do always feel the need to act like the most righteous judge for every thing lol? It’s unnecessary exaggerated and just weird.

Cheng Yi is now taking heavy backlash for his recent rude comments and lazy behavior. On his recent brand livestream with supermarket brand Gap, he basically lectured viewers on how to watch his drama implying that if they aren’t fully “immersed” (pausing their lives, giving the show their undivided attention lol), they just don’t appreciate it properly. It seems that the negative reception already reaches his ears lol. Netizens slammed him for talking down to everyone and being completely out of touch. Many are calling him full of himself… yet apparently too lazy to memorize his lines or even speak standard Mandarin. Dude clearly doesn’t know what multitasking is. Newsflash: viewers can’t just sit and fully watch his garbage drama 24/7 unlike him, viewers have lives, chores, and other things to do 🙄

To make matters worse, in Episode 14, Cheng Yi was caught holding a paper script for the actual shot while every other actor on set was already memorized and ready to perform. In standard filming procedures, actors should memorize their lines before shooting; scripts should not appear in formal shots.
Cheng Yi laziness with his blatant reliance on a script violates basic filming protocols and only fueled criticism, with people questioning both his professionalism and the audacity of lecturing viewers while he can’t even do the basics.

In short: he’s out here demanding full immersion from the audience while being the only one on set who can’t deliver his lines, making this controversy a perfect mix of “attitude problem” and sheer laziness.

Since its premiere on September 11, 2025, the TV drama “Fu Shan Hai” has sparked widespread controversy due to production quality issues, with the “green-screen/poor compositing” effect becoming the central point of criticism. Based on feedback from multiple sources, the main points of dispute and analysis are as follows:

🎬 1. Specific Manifestations of the Compositing Issues

Severe disconnection between characters and backgrounds

Many scenes were criticized for blurred edges around characters and inconsistent lighting, creating a “sticker-like” floating effect. For instance, in special effects sequences like cliff-flying horses, characters and backgrounds are layered distinctly, with rough green-screen compositing. Some viewers even joked that it was “worse than The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion.”
Audiences comparing raw on-set footage with the final product noticed that the real-location materials were distorted during post-production, with blurred backgrounds giving the visuals an artificial, plastic-like feel.

Overuse of filters and skin-smoothing

Heavy skin-smoothing filters caused actors’ facial features to appear blurred and skin textures to vanish, resulting in a loss of detail. Viewers noted that the lead’s scenes were particularly affected, while supporting actors (e.g., Zhang Zhilin) appeared relatively normal.
The excessive reliance on filters was criticized as an attempt to conceal actors’ physical conditions, such as facial puffiness or fatigue.

Rough special effects and visible mistakes

In martial arts scenes, wires were exposed, movements appeared stiff (e.g., “horse suspended over a cliff”), and green-screen compositing looked cheap.
Costume materials were criticized as “studio-style”; designs such as the male lead’s pink costume with braids and nude-colored nails were mocked for lacking the rugged, martial-world aura.

⚠️ 2. Core Parties Responsible for the Controversy

Director Ren Haitao faces backlash

The director has been accused of repeatedly making similar mistakes. His previous work, “Seven Nights of Snow”, was criticized for “real-location shots that still look like green-screen,” and “Fu Shan Hai” repeated these problems. Critics called his aesthetic taste poor and narrative incoherent.
Many fans launched the topic “Never support Ren Haitao,” demanding the production replace the director.

Lead actors’ performances exacerbated negative reception
• Dialogue issues: The lead’s original audio was described as unclear, mumbled, and hard to understand, requiring subtitles and breaking the young heroic character’s image.
• Acting and overall state: Forced attempts at a lively character resulted in uncontrolled facial expressions, and the actor’s age was noticeable, drawing criticism of “excessive mature vibes.”

Suspicions about production funding allocation

Despite claims of a 300 million RMB (S+ level) investment, costumes and props looked cheap, and special effects were perfunctory. Viewers questioned whether the funds were properly used, suspecting the production company of embezzlement.

📉 3. Market Feedback and Data Controversies

Collapsed reputation and audience resistance

Douban short comments were filled with phrases like “the worst drama of 2025” and “bad in every way.” A Xiaohongshu poll found 93% of viewers thought it was “worse than The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion.”
Viewers used “Shanhaiguan” (a famous fortress) as a pun to mock the show for “shutting the door on quality long dramas,” turning it into a cautionary industry example.

High initial heat followed by decline

The premiere set the record for “Tencent’s fastest rise to 26,000 popularity points,” but on the second day, the heat fell instead of rising, attributed to “negative word-of-mouth dragging data down.”
Yunhe data reported a single-day market share of 27.3%, questioned as abnormal (with the same period’s overall market share near one-third). Lighthouse data fluctuations also sparked concerns of viewership manipulation.

💎 4. Industry Reflection and Audience Demands

Warning to production teams

Audiences called for platforms to audit S+ project fund flows, reject low-quality teams, and emphasize that martial arts dramas need solid on-location shooting rather than sloppy green-screen effects.

Aesthetic regression in martial arts dramas

Overreliance on compositing and skin-smoothing undermined the realism and ruggedness of martial arts dramas, criticized as “using MMORPG-style effects to trample on traditional martial arts essence.”

Shared responsibility of actors and production

The controversy highlighted dual shortcomings: lead actors need to improve basic skills (dialogue, acting), and directors must return to narrative fundamentals instead of hiding flaws behind technology.

💎 Summary

The “green-screen effect” in “Fu Shan Hai” essentially results from a combination of sloppy production (director mismanagement + perfunctory post-production) and actor performance (dialogue issues + inconsistent state). The controversy has gone beyond a single work, reflecting an industry-wide impatience. If production teams continue to ignore audience demands for quality, the revival of martial arts dramas risks becoming an empty slogan.

New or old account doesn’t make any difference as my review is as valid as yours so idk why the age of my account bothers you. Of course you can’t see what’s happening outside the square of your chicken coop
