Author of Daylight Entertainment’s New Drama Receive Threats from Yang Mi Antis Over the Actress’s Rumored Casting

Those antis have always been saying bad things about YM acting skills and praise their own idol.

Don't underestimate the quote:

"When 1 person say something others will not believe it, but when 100,000 people say the same thing, people will believe it."

They all say YM (including artists under her) have bad acting skills in large groups and they really did win, YM is attached with that reputation for a long time already. And the idol they praise in large groups really did earn her good acting title through them.

At least when YM's drama flopped, she doesn't use her fans to make tons of fake accounts to praise her dramas being good when they are not. She is honest with her works and even have to endure with others cheating. Just because YM never cheats does not mean her dramas always flops and her acting is bad.
She never complains about how hard she worked or how much she suffered. She's the best example as an A-list artist. I'm glad the author is a fair person, hopefully she will be alright.

are my eyes deceiving me or can anyone else see a face when you focus behind Yang Mi's head ?

I see it too, so creepy. Top left corner on her head, it's close to her head so don't look at the corner of the photo.

The photo was edited so it focus on YM so, not sure if that was a reflection on a mirror, or if somebody was at the back. The face is quite huge so it doesn't look like somebody from behind, it could be a mask.

Replying to myself. I am genuinely creeped out now I can see a whole person next to her on her right side. A female face on the left and a male on the right.

It looks like a picture from a catwalk show.

I dont understand why ppl are always criticizing this part of the actress. Its just that her voice is very cute and something a cute teenager would say and somehow thats bad and everyone calls it "whiny". of course you didn't say this but i think u are mistaking supposedly "bad voice" for what u said.

@2.b It has nothing to do with it being high pitched or cute. It's her delivery. Zhao Li Ying's voice is whiny but she still knows how to deliver lines well. Hell, even Zheng Shuang with her super shrill voice does a better job than Yang Mi. Yang Mi has gotten lazy because of the use of voice actors so when she finally has to depend on her own voice, she sounds like an amateur. Listen, I loved Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and thought Yang Mi did a pretty good job. But to call her a superb actor is ridiculous.

Really obvious usual Ym haters are usually Zly fans jus because Zly copied her looks and acting style. Zly doesn't sound whiny but stuttering it doesn't make her sound intelligent. None of Ym fans care to say she is the BEST actress like some people. Fans are only saying she is a good actress. To say she is mediocre go check your brain why you even like her dramas if she is so average you wouldn't LOVE her dramas. She played tons of supporting roles before becoming famous, and her supporting roles were notable and provedful of why she deserves leading (not cuz she's pretty). She wasn't that pretty to begin with, her acting won so many fans that she BECAME pretty. If she is so mediocre she wouldn't be a top actress. And guess what too? She never use the pitiful route and cries about how hard she worked her way up. Others attack her she doesn't even attack them back. Just because her voice is squeaky and you call her lazy and not good at acting is so ridiculous.

Lets just conclude that YM is amazing and no haters can bring her down 🙂

@2.g "Worst of the bunch" when her dramas are usually better in quality and she's more popular. Sounds hating with no logic. There is no problem with how she delivers her line, her expressions are on point. In fact, so many actresses tried to copy the way she delivered her line. Boo 😛

Ni Ni, Liu Tao, Zhou Dong Yu, Sun Li are great but they do different genres. They won't be successful in idol dramas either. When Ni Ni do Xianxia idol show similar to TMOPB it wasn't great either. Not true that they can't be mentioned in the same caliber, they are as skillful as each other. Liu Tao and Sun Li are mature and cannot play young 16 years old girls because they look older and will get slaughtered by netizens. They maintain a safe reputation by choosing good projects and having good attitudes. Crazy young fans are not into stalking their life anyway.
YM's projects aren't always the best, but they don't flop all the time. She performed well in all of them and she kept a very good attitude. Like what Yu Zheng revealed, antis will find anything small to smear these popular people, when they can't find anything wrong with the person herself, they go for her acting, or projects, etc.

Yes this comment is so true for some unexplainable reason netizens are always trying to 'prove' that YM doesn't deserve all the popularity. Defamation is the perfect word!! I am so glad this actress is strong and isn't affected a bit by her haters. Even if I'm not exactly a fan I like her and am happy she also has so many defenders.

@ 2.i "I speak Chinese so I have the final say on who delivers lines the best." Does that mean if a native english speaker declares that Kristen Stewart is a superb actress, that any non-native speaker can't argue against them? You sound immature.

To the other comments, I never said Yang Mi's productions flop. They do very well as do the other idol actresses. That has nothing to do with their skill level. The Untamed was the biggest hit and both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are not top level actors (they're not bad, but they're not great yet either). And dude, I would not quote Yu Zheng if I were you. He's such a controversial scumbag person. I greatly disagree with you on the other actresses. They pick good projects because they care about more than just money. You seem to think that whoever is the most famous is what matters. Love and Destiny wasn't as good of a show, but Ni Ni's acting was leaps and bounds better in L&D than Yang Mi's was in TMOPB. That's all my argument was. Yang Mi is an okay actress who is very beautiful and has many fans. But her acting could clearly use some improvement. I'm not attacking her or the author that was mentioned in the article. If she is cast as the lead in the Daylight production I will be disappointed but I will still watch it and hope for the best.

First off, i am not a fan of any actor (meaning I don't follow or have an obsessive interest in anyone). I just love good dramas. Talent and skills stand on its own, not based on how big a fan base they have or how popular a drama is or how beautiful/handsome they are or even how hard they work. I watch a lot of dramas – Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, American,some European … And I can see for myself that YM's acting skills are no way near superb – she is just average in the Chinese industry. There are others in her category too, both male and female. You can love them all you want but please do not insult the truly good actors by saying that this group of purely traffic actors are the best actors. On a side note, I also won't be attracted to watch Daylight's new drama too if YM is cast in it cos I already have seen some of her past works, including 10 miles. But no way would I go and curse anyone for their choice, (tho' I would expect Daylight to cast actors based on suitability and skills, rather than traffic idols); it's their money, not mine. And hey, who knows, the director might be able to work miracles with actors who have limited range. ��

Daylight has a good reputation because they consistently put out good work. That reputation didn't come out of nowhere. Ming Lan did well yes because ZLY has a large fanbase, but also because it was just a really well done show. It had good writing, pacing, and fleshed out characters. You think it's boring? Well that's on you and your 12 year old attention span. The rest of us loved it.

Royal Nirvana and Rise of Phoenixes are so different from Ming Lan that it's not fair to compare them. Ming Lan is a historical slice of life whereas RN and ROP are heavily political palace dramas. RN and ROP were both high budget dramas with wonderful production quality and amazing actors, but the writing went downhill throughout both of them. Both of them also heavily butchered the source material which is why they were so scrutinized. If you're going to make comparisons then at least make ones that make sense and don't leave out information.

Who cares about Daylight, you ask? Nirvana in Fire, Ode to Joy, All is Well, Ming Lan, Battle of Changsha, etc. All are widely loved dramas. Clearly they make good dramas. They have their duds, sure. But their dramas in general are better than most other studios. Yang Mi would be lucky to star in one of them. Just because she's one of the most famous actresses doesn't mean she's one of the best.

I like the author of Ming Lan as a person but the story is too amateur.
For the drama, the pacing is unreasonable. The character Ming Lan does not have a clear goal and her personality is everywhere.

Lots of other Daylight projects were directed really well, but with Ming Lan they got really lazy.

The main character is naturally gifted with sudden skills and doesn't have to learn anything, or go through any obstacles in order to learn anything. Imagine a champion teaching you basketball, does that mean you will become the best in basketball? Just because they teach you, does not mean you will be good at it. Every skills you have, you must go through practicing. Ming Lan can do perfect shootings because it was a natural instinct ever since as a young child, not because her mother taught her. Her muscle are just naturally way stronger than men, when she plays polo she is so much stronger to be able to push them instead of vice versa? Did we see how much she exercise to the point her body is that well built and sturdy?

She revenges on her sister with a sneak attack and then run away, through out a period of 10+ years in her life, she never had that opportunity? Suddenly, she attacked out of the blue then ran away. The acting was very bad. The drama does not show on camera if the character looks scare from her actions either, or if she isn't scare, then we should know that. We have to see her expressions to understand her better. Things happened unplanned. And after they happened we usually don't see her next intentions. Another example, the marriage scene when she laughed inside her carriage, her expression leaves confusion and it didn't make sense. Most of the scenes that could have been the highlights of the show were not done thoughtfully. It creates wonders, what was even the purpose of her doing those things? What did the character gained, and how far along is her with her plan?

The show couldn't speak for itself. They were unable to show why Ming Lan is a strong and smart character through acting. They relied on fans to explain these confusions online. If this type of drama was not played by an idol, there is no way it would have been successful. The inconsistency of the main character's mind, and unclear of direction and goal she has, it is hard to root for her if played by anybody else instead of a traffic star.

for 2.R … I just commented once on 2.d. I want to say you're wrong if you think here is Zhao Liying's hater, you should see the comment above (2.c.) who first praised Zhao Liying and said bad about Yang Mi .. since the comment 2c. that's why here talking about Zhao Liying too …
I'm not interested in talking about acting because it's just a matter of taste … I certainly have my own opinion about who is acting good but I don't want to talk too much and I watch drama because I want to enjoy drama not to judge acting.

@2.t ZLY wasn't the point of my argument at all nor am I her stan. I was arguing for the writing of her character in the drama and the production as a whole. I made a ton of points in my comments in 2.o and 2.r, none of which you had an actual rebuttal to. Just call anyone who disagrees with you a "YM hater" without any logic to back it up.

To the one commenter all the way up there, saying ZLY voice is better, that is hilarious.

The differences is huge ever since from past then to now.

ZLY is not good in speaking, needless to talk about singing. You see from the videos, ZLY tried to dress like YM, and also compete using the same talents? She always used YM as a role model and live in the shadow of YM that's why her fans don't like YM. I see lots of her fans dare to say she is the best of the age, but she is the most far away from it. They only like her flaws because they feel connection to it, but talent is not about liking the flaws.

Ever since the beginning to date, YM has always been the upper hand in everything. They are only a year apart in age, but YM is first to be famous because of her multi talents. In speaking, singing, acting, and even who looks better and good personality.

The only talent in ZLY right now is acting, but her acting is copied from YM and still did not exceed or surpass. She also gotten self to look younger and prettier, but her looks still resembles YM in the end. Her speaking has not improve too. Even in personal life, she also married YM's ex bf. This is why ZLY fans only want to recommend her to a Daylight Ent. but excludes YM to the grave. YM doesn't even need to rely on fans to defend her projects and they can do well if the project itself is good.
YM is a huge road block.
