"[Some brain-dead fans need to open their eyes, the one defending the nation is Nation's Heroine JIANGZhaoyue, not Si Fuqing. She's just an actress, if you're going to admire someone, it should be JIANGZhaoyue.]
[Si Fuqing better not start believing she's JIANGZhaoyue herself, she's far from it.]
Actors living off the fame of historical figures is indeed a thing that happens.
Eight years ago, a male actor played a renowned prime minister from the Great Zhao Dynasty and successfully took home the grand slam title of Best Actor with this role.
Afterwards, he continuously used this prime minister in his marketing, gaining lots of fans and significant influence.
Many people had already equated him with the historical figure, viewing him through an incredibly favorable lens, where any scandals were completely overlooked, and from time to time, they would go to the Best Actor's Weibo to call him "prime minister".
