Chinese actress Tian Xiwei rose to fame with “Chasing the Jade,” and her new drama with Hu Yitian, “Genius, Girlfriend,” is currently airing. She plays the role of studious young girl “Lin Zhixia,” with long, draped hair, still sporting her signature bangs. Netizens joke that she has “iron bangs,” as all 16 of her performances feature the same hairstyle, almost as if she’s unwatchable without bangs. Tian Xiwei didn’t take this lying down—she immediately tied up her hair and waved to fans at the airport, but anti-fans said they “couldn’t recognize her,” and commented, “not suitable is just not suitable, it’ll be a new ugly look that stands out again.” It seems no matter what she does, some people criticize her.
“Genius, Girlfriend” is performing poorly in terms of viewership. Typically, school dramas draw less attention than costume romances, and with a heavily altered storyline, some viewers find the chemistry between the leads lacking, while the sibling subplot is more captivating. The chief producer suddenly posted a rant late at night: “I should have learned to keep silent like others in this industry, but I really can’t hold it in. Whether in the industry or the fan circles, tomorrow at noon I’ll speak some truths, even if it costs me my job.” However, by noon, he was silent, and netizens speculated he might have calmed down after being spoken to; this explosive post has since been deleted.
