Among the several online dramas of the same period, none could compete with it.
However, with the blockbuster success of "Peach Blossom Forest," "A Tune of Clear Wine" also became highly controversial.
Everyone said that this time "Peach Blossom Forest" must be using the guise of a big-name artist, claiming Huang Tian was well matched, but Yun Zhongxian was clearly voiced by someone else.
The actions of "Mountain and River Scroll" violated a major taboo in the circle.
But no matter what the outside world said, "Mountain and River Scroll" stubbornly kept silent.
Originally, they had no reason to relent, for it was indeed the voice of "A Tune of Clear Wine".
Because of this, Zhan Cha even privately knocked on Gu Shengyin’s door to apologize to her.
They could have clarified this matter early on, but "Mountain and River Scroll" delayed speaking up, not ruling out the idea of stirring up controversy over this issue.
Gu Shengyin expressed understanding, replying, "No problem, promoting the drama is also my duty."
While "Mountain and River Scroll" was using her to generate buzz, wasn’t she herself also taking advantage of the situation to stir things up?
Zhan Cha then asked, "In a few days, we’ll have a voice interaction with fans, would you like to join?"
Everyone knew that "A Tune of Clear Wine" never participated in such interactions, Zhan Cha was merely asking as a formality.
But to everyone’s surprise, Gu Shengyin hesitated only slightly before agreeing, "Sure, just let me know the time and room number."
That was her agreement.
Zhan Cha was incredulous, weren’t there rumors that "A Tune of Clear Wine" was haughty, aloof, and unsociable? Why did the person she met these days seem nothing like that?
Although the girl spoke little, wasn’t she quite agreeable?
Remembering the pervasive rumors online, Zhan Cha suddenly understood: "A Tune of Clear Wine" had been maliciously slandered.
Having received Gu Shengyin’s firm response, Zhan Cha soon posted on behalf of "Mountain and River Scroll":
"Next Thursday at 7:30 PM, ’Mountain and River Scroll’ ’Peach Blossom Forest’—don’t miss it!" Below were the list of participants and other information like the room number.
The list conspicuously included the name of "A Tune of Clear Wine"!
Who didn’t know that this legendary figure never partook in any fan interactions, how did "Mountain and River Scroll" manage it?
Zhan Cha also specifically added a note: I know everyone is very curious about how she portrayed Yun Zhongxian—that’s her unique skill, next Thursday, wait for Clear Wine to reveal it to you.
The fans expressed their irrepressible excitement.
According to "Mountain and River Scroll," does that mean Yun Zhongxian was really voiced by "A Tune of Clear Wine"? Otherwise, where did they get the confidence to make such a firm statement?
So the question arises: If Yun Zhongxian was really "A Tune of Clear Wine," how did she do it?
Zhan Cha, seeing the explosive level of the comments below, exited her post with satisfaction.
Although her expectations for this drama were already high, the overwhelming success of "Peach Blossom Forest" still far exceeded her expectations.
As a director, is there anything more satisfying than seeing one’s work embraced by fans?
At Gu Shengyin’s end.
Since "Drunk at Dusk" had cleared the air with her, they stopped being cautious in private messages.
"Qingqing, I remember you don’t have classes this Friday afternoon, would you like to go see a movie with me?" he directly asked.
"Teacher Gu, I remember I haven’t agreed yet," Gu Shengyin responded.
Gu Yunke calmly replied, "That’s why I am pursuing you step by step."
