29-year-old Chinese actress Lin Yun rose to fame thanks to Stephen Chow’s film 'The Mermaid,' reaching the peak of her acting career. Recently, she's been filming the costume drama 'Gui Luan' with male actor Zhang Linghe, and every move she makes on set has become a hot topic. However, some netizens have noticed that Lin Yun seems to be filming through consecutive all-nighters, showing signs of health warnings, and has had to take 'emergency heart pills' just to push through—making fans feel sorry for her and sparking outrage at the production crew.
On Weibo on the 24th, scenes of Lin Yun so exhausted from acting that she needed 'emergency heart pills' went viral. Wrapped in a furry coat, Lin Yun is seen doing her hair and makeup surrounded by staff, while someone else holds the script for discussion. The high-pressure atmosphere of the set makes every second extremely busy.
Yet, on the lower right of the frame, a staff member can be seen pulling out 'emergency heart pills' for Lin Yun, seemingly because she was over-exerted and needed medication just to hold on. The medication is known for quickly relieving symptoms like chest tightness and chest pain, and is commonly carried by high-risk cardiovascular patients for emergencies, specifically to relieve angina. No one expected to see it appear on a filming set, and such incidents show that Lin Yun’s health has already shown warning signs.
Once these photos spread like wildfire, they immediately sparked public anger among fans. Some also revealed that Hengdian, the filming location, was extremely cold—feeling sorry for Lin Yun, who had been pulling all-nighters for several days until the early morning and then continuing work again. 'Lin Yun is already taking emergency heart pills today! Can someone care about her health… freezing for more than 10 hours, is this really okay?' Netizens left comments expressing concern, such as, 'She's really risking sudden death! With this kind of schedule… please be kinder to actors,' and 'Even if you don't care about the actors, please at least care about the crew; since production started, everyone’s been pulling all-nighters in the freezing cold...'
