All-rounder Artist-Chapter 885 - 833: The Audience’s Anger and Outburst

No one expected the latest plot twist in "Lotus Lantern," where Yang Jian suddenly turned evil!

This sudden turn of events made many viewers jump out of their seats!

"Damn it!"

"What the hell is going on with the latest plot in 'Lotus Lantern'?"

"Wasn't Yang Jian supposed to be a good guy? How could they portray Erlang Shen so negatively?"

"Though I understood when Yang Jian previously suppressed his own sister, the Third Goddess, since he was the Judiciary God of the Heavenly Court and couldn't help but follow orders, this latest development is outrageous! The director and scriptwriter have actually portrayed Yang Jian as a villain who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is cold-hearted and merciless!"

"I feel the same way, this plot twist is infuriating!"

"Yang Jian didn't have the courage to defy the Heavenly Court and save his own sister, and now he's even trying to stop Chenxiang from rescuing his mother, really just bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and they call it for his nephew's good?"

"Is this the Erlang Shen I remember?"

"What the heck is Yi An thinking? The previous 'The Legend of Wukong' was great, why suddenly create such a disgusting plotline!"

"What kind of junk is this?"

"Magic changing Erlang Shen's personality, magic changing his background, magic changing his identity, and even inventing a sister and a nephew for Erlang Shen—I can accept all of these. But making Erlang Shen a villain—I absolutely cannot accept!"

Yang Jian's image suddenly collapsed!

Audiences across the continents are outraged!

The previous episodes were just fine!

No matter what trouble Chenxiang caused, Yang Jian always chose to be understanding.

Whatever Chenxiang wanted, Yang Jian would give, creating an enjoyable image of a good uncle for the audience.

Over several episodes.

Everyone had a very positive impression of this Erlang Shen!

Even though Erlang Shen started off ruthlessly suppressing his own sister, everyone firmly believed that Erlang Shen had no choice, given that he was fulfilling his duties as the Judiciary God.

However.

When Chenxiang learned the truth and wanted to save his mother, Yang Jian suddenly turned cold-hearted!

He did everything to stop Chenxiang, even going so far as to fall out with Chenxiang and even harm Chenxiang's friends, which made it hard for the audience to accept!

Turns out Yang Jian is a villain?

Is there something wrong with Chenxiang wanting to save his own mother?

Moreover, what wrong did the Third Goddess do?

The Third Goddess simply bravely pursued her own love!

And the prudish rules of the Heavenly Court are unreasonable to any modern person!

The plot is also telling everyone:

This heavenly decree is a scourge across the realms!

Under such circumstances, by choosing to stand on the opposite side of the protagonist and uphold this heavenly decree, Yang Jian has directly become a villain!

So the audience is angry!

Some are angry about Erlang Shen's behavior;

Others are angry that Yi An, as the scriptwriter, dared to turn Erlang Shen's character into a villain!

The latter group far outnumber the former.

Yes.

In the end, what everyone finds most intolerable is Erlang Shen transforming into a villain.

If Erlang Shen were not Erlang Shen but just a regular character, then no matter whether this character turned evil or whatever, audiences across all continents wouldn't be so upset.

You should know.

Through "The Primordial Chaos" and other works, Erlang Shen Yang Jian has already made a very deep impression on audiences across all continents.

People deeply love this character.

Just like how everyone who watches "Journey to the West" likes Sun Wukong.

In any audience's concept, Yang Jian is absolutely unrelated to being a villain.

But this show just went ahead and made Yang Jian a villain!

That is the root of the controversy.

Some people even started cursing loudly because of this!

In fact.

Not just ordinary viewers.

Even fans of "The Primordial Chaos" were baffled by "Lotus Lantern's" move!

What the hell?

Why did the antagonist suddenly self-destruct?

They had always been trying to set the narrative for "Lotus Lantern," but never managed to take off.

The audience didn't strongly resist the departure from traditional character and background settings of Erlang Shen in "Lotus Lantern."

This deeply disappointed the fans of "The Primordial Chaos."

They could only watch helplessly as "Lotus Lantern" became more popular, watching a portrayal of Erlang Shen that didn't fit with the traditional setting of "The Primordial Chaos" being accepted by the audience.

Result.

Just when the fans of "The Primordial Chaos" thought they could no longer malign "Lotus Lantern" and could only helplessly observe its success, this show suddenly self-destructed!

That's right.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

Self-destructed!

Erlang Shen was actually portrayed as a villain!

How is that different from self-destructing?

How brainless must Yi An be to dare to tarnish the image of Erlang Shen like this?

Doesn't she realize how highly regarded Erlang Shen is in the hearts of the audience?

Or is it that:

Yi An wants to follow the pattern of Chu Kuang adapting "Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange" to completely overturn the audience's impression of the classics?

What a joke!

Are these two things even comparable?

"Self-destruction!"

"Intending to draw a tiger but ending up drawing something akin to a dog!"

"Wait, this director is actually the director of 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange,' and that series was a huge success due to Chu Kuang's subversion of the classics, so the director tasted sweetness and thought that playing with subverting classics would always succeed? What kind of bizarre thought process is this? Just blindly applying the same formula?"

"One really dares to write, and one really dares to film!"

"Yi An and this director are challenging the audience's tolerance!"

"Heh, tarnishing the image of Erlang Shen, 'Lotus Lantern' is really asking for its own destruction!"

"This is slander against Yang Jian!"

At this moment, the feelings of the fans of "The Primordial Chaos" are actually quite mixed.

Excitement and anger!

Two completely different emotions, strangely intertwined.

The thrilling aspect is:

They finally found a point to criticize in "Lotus Lantern!"

This gives them a bit of a guilty conscience.

A beloved character is portrayed as a villain, and yet they feel somewhat excited?

The rage stemmed from:

This show was defaming the protagonist of The Primordial Chaos, Yang Jian!

That was Yang Jian!

He was their beloved and their faith!

For a time.

All fans of The Primordial Chaos went crazy setting the pace, their presence dominating numerous forums!

"Yi An is defaming Erlang Shen and tarnishing a classic!"

"Journey to the West is suppressing The Primordial Chaos by portraying Yang Jian as a disgusting villain!"

"Using Yang Jian's popularity for promotion, yet the show portrayed him in such a negative light, such a work should be vehemently boycotted!"

"Journey to the West's behavior is too ugly!"

"I don't acknowledge the Erlang Shen in 'The Lotus Lantern' as Erlang Shen, only The Primordial Chaos's Erlang Shen is the real Erlang Shen!"

"Let the Erlang Shen of 'The Lotus Lantern' go to hell."

"There's only one Erlang Shen in the world, and that's the protagonist of The Primordial Chaos, Yang Jian!"

The rhythm!

The rhythm of boycott rolled in wave after wave!

It must be admitted, the fans of The Primordial Chaos led the rhythm very successfully this time.

If it weren't for the self-destruction of 'The Lotus Lantern', no one would have paid attention to their voices, as the fans of Journey to the West were simply too numerous.

But now, no one knew whether it was Yi An or the TV show's director whose brain had malfunctioned.

The tables had turned!

Blackening of Erlang Shen was not only unacceptable to fans of The Primordial Chaos.

It was unacceptable to the general audience!

So much so that even though everyone knew The Primordial Chaos fans were leading the rhythm, some still empathized deeply.

Shortly after.

'The Lotus Lantern', which had been smooth-sailing since its broadcast, was sucked into a vortex of controversy and criticism for the first time.

Everyone naturally assumed:

Journey to the West, in order to suppress The Primordial Chaos, had deliberately vilified the image of Yang Jian.

Now that The Primordial Chaos was waning, yet it was suppressed like this by Journey to the West, this ignited the sympathy of many people.

Empathy for the underdog is human nature.

Moreover, no matter how much The Primordial Chaos had declined, people's affection for Erlang Shen still existed; Yang Jian was a classic character who had accompanied countless people as they grew up, how could he be so defiled!

Fortunately.

There were still some rational voices soothing everyone:

"Guys, don't rush to conclusions, trust in Teacher Yi'an's character. Perhaps Erlang Shen has his own reasons for targeting Chenxiang, just watch a few episodes before making a judgment, after all, Erlang Shen was extremely concerned about his nephew, Chenxiang, in the earlier episodes."

These voices somewhat calmed the audience.

In the following days.

Apart from The Primordial Chaos fans and a few extreme viewers who were still protesting, most people temporarily suppressed their anger, patiently continuing to follow the drama.

However.

The seventh episode…

The eighth episode…

The ninth episode…

The tenth episode…

As the audience continued to follow the subsequent episodes of 'The Lotus Lantern', the expected turnaround never happened!

On the contrary.

A brutal fact gradually unfolded before everyone:

Yang Jian had no hidden motives at all; he was merely the lapdog of the Heavenly Empress, an unmitigated villain!

All his actions were for the sake of the Judiciary God's power!

Blinded by greed, Yang Jian showed no regard for familial bonds, ruthlessly persecuting Chenxiang, even intensifying his malice!

Sky Roaring Dog abused his power through association!

The Mount Mei Brothers pursued and blocked Chenxiang!

In innumerable instances of targeted oppression by his own uncle, Chenxiang struggled to survive and grow, enduring relentless suppression!

The audience's patience was gradually worn thin.

Dissatisfaction with Yang Jian's character kept accumulating.

If the plot of the drama itself hadn't been captivating, the audience would have exploded long ago.

Not to mention that during this process, The Primordial Chaos fans continued endlessly stoking the fire and leading the rhythm.

The Primordial Chaos fans were desperate!

After watching so many episodes!

Why hasn't this darned TV show cooled down yet!

Yi An has already blackened Yang Jian so much, why are you still watching, and watching so eagerly at that?

Alright.

The reason is actually quite simple: although the portrayal of the character Yang Jian has displeased countless viewers, the plot of the drama itself is very exciting, which is why everyone temporarily suppressed their inner frustrations.

But…

No matter how exciting the plot, it could not withstand the constant provocation by the scriptwriter Yi An, some feelings, if not exploded, only accumulated deeper.

That day.

The plot finally progressed to the fifteenth episode.

This episode.

Yang Jian pushed Chenxiang to a complete dead end!

He wanted to kill Chenxiang!

As Chenxiang grew up, Yang Jian actually harbored the intention to kill his own nephew!

However.

Just as Yang Jian made his move.

The Fourth Princess of the East Sea blocked Yang Jian's fatal blow with her body!

Under Chenxiang's desperate gaze, the Fourth Princess of the East Sea was instantly killed, her life extinguished!

The Fourth Princess of the East Sea.

This character was kind-hearted and had an excellent reputation in all three realms, and she was Chenxiang's aunt who had always silently helped him from behind.

The audience had a very positive impression of this character!

Yet such a character was executed in front of Chenxiang by Erlang Shen!

This moment!

Even without The Primordial Chaos fans leading any rhythm.

The audience's eyes reddened, their dissatisfaction accumulated over many days completely erupted!
