The ongoing debate has led to a heated discussion on Weibo among fans of both the actress and the show, who have been questioning why the producers have not yet officially announced her as the lead despite her signing the contract.
One user, who goes by the name of "这是", wrote: "蛮搞笑的其实,她是15年就被众多网友提名开始遛饼的天选韩菱纱,她这些年拍过的剧不论制作总是回馈律超高有破百亿播放量的一番女主剧,她的人气流量在女演员里排的上号任何粉丝相关的排名都数一数二,重要的是,她是最先定下最先签一番合同的女主,可是那又怎么样呢?剧方愿意联合资本为硬捧不红,搞砸了无?" Translated into English, this means: "It's quite hilarious actually. She has been nominated by numerous netizens since 2015 to be the leading lady Gan Lingsha, and her dramas always exceed one billion views. Her popularity and traffic is among the top in the actress community, and she is the first to sign the contract for first place. What's the point then? The production company is willing to join forces with capital to push for an undeserving lead actor."
As the controversy continues, fans of the show are becoming increasingly frustrated and are calling for the production company to follow the contract and announce the main actress as the lead in the drama. One user, who goes by the name of "剧都快播出来了,番位都还没官宣,四剧你是有什么心事吗?", wrote: "The drama is about to be released, and the producers have not yet announced the main actress as the lead!"
The show's production company has remained tight-lipped on the issue, with no official announcements regarding the cast's role in the drama. Fans are calling for the company to follow the contract and announce the lead actress as the main character in the drama.
In the midst of this controversy, it is clear that social media is playing a major role in shaping the discourse around the show. With fans expressing their opinions and concerns on Weibo, the pressure on the production company to follow through with their contractual obligations is growing.
As the release date of "仙剑奇侠传四" draws closer, fans of the main actress are waiting with bated breath to see if the production company will finally follow their contract and announce her as the lead in the drama. The ongoing debate has shown the power of social media in shaping public discourse and influencing the outcomes of major entertainment projects.
