Zhao Lusi (赵露思) was trending again at the #1 spot on November 1 because of a post she wrote, which some people thought was in reference to the incident with the fake post about liking Xiao Zhan (肖战) from two days prior. She wrote, “I didn’t hurt anyone, so I shouldn’t be unhappy. yoyo~ November”.

Netizens were somehow triggered by that post and started leaving comments on her post saying:
“Not even popular and always trying to gain popularity.”
“Bought a script saying you are the second Zhao Liying. Afterwards, you said you weren’t comparable to Zhao Liying. Hand was slippery and liked Song Qian. Started trending and said your hand was slippery. Bought a script for your new series to say you’re more attractive than Dilraba, bought a script to say you’re comparable to Liu Yifei, bound Yang Yang, now confessing to Xiao Zhan. Can this girl act well? Originally just talking your way out of a Northeastern persona. Now you’re performing “green tea“.
“Take a break from marketing [yourself] and focus on acting.”
“First time seeing someone disregarded themselves completely. What do you mean you didn’t hurt anyone? What about my Zhan?”

In the sea of yelling comments, there were fans and supporters who defended Zhao Lusi, saying:
“So, someone photoshopped a post and created rumors, then she deserves to be yelled at? Can’t even let her say something. A bunch of antis running to other people’s Weibo to flaunt.”
“Baby! You’re so early. Don’t look at those. We will always believe you. You have to be happy.”
“You have a bunch of us behind you, so you must be infinitely happy.”

Afterwards, the hashtag “Green Tea” started trending on Weibo. The term “green tea” (绿茶) or “green tea b*tch” (绿茶婊) is a derogatory Chinese slang that refers to girls who appear sweet and innocent, especially in front of men and usually to gain something, but are manipulative and mean to women. Netizens left all sorts of accusatory comments about Zhao Lusi’s character, saying she was trying to gain from other stars and that she was exhibiting green tea behavior.
Zhao Lusi issued another post seemingly in reference to all the backlash and hoopla about her recent posts. She wrote: “I am not mainstream. I’ve come to appreciate withering sentiments.”

Zhao Lusi’s co-star from “I Hear You” and friend, Zhang Jiongmin (张炯敏), who participated in “CHUANG 2019”, wrote a post speaking up for her, which also trended at the #1 spot. He wrote, “Since I’ve known Lusi for so long now, I’ve thought how can there be such a cute, kind, and pure girl, always thinking of others. Every time I feel depressed, she is the first person to come care about me and help me. I remember when I first came out from CHUANG, I didn’t have a place to live and didn’t have income either. Once you found out, you immediately rented a home and said to me, ‘Jiong-ge, I rented a home. You live at my place first. It just so happens that I will be filming outside. You live there first.’ You obviously have been filming and working outside and wouldn’t return home to live, but yet you still rent a home in Beijing for me to live. It was your birthday that day. Xin-jie and I went to your place to spend your birthday with you. Afterwards, you returned to work and probably forgot your own birthday. When you returned home, Xin-jie and I held the cake up and sang happy birthday to you. You cried all of a sudden and cried like something broke into many pieces. As long as people who have interacted with you before, all know that you are someone who doesn’t have any complicated thoughts, like helping friends, and is a simple girl.”
Producer, Yu Zheng, was also trending that day when he uploaded a picture of a cup of green tea with the caption, “chi gua”, which can be translated to “here for the tea (gossip)”. Some netizens thought he was shading Zhao Lusi, but he denied it and said people were imagining things.
Yu Zheng Denies Referring to Zhao Lusi as a “Low EQ Actress Who Forgot Her Roots”
Why is she so popular? I don’t know much about her, she seems to suddenly appear out of nowhere recently. Do young girls imagine they are her and idolize her because of her cute look? I didn’t even know who she was before watching The Long Ballad but there was something off the first time I saw her acting. Like a fake nice girl playing a nice girl. Definitely green tea vibes.
It seems she’s trying to get popularity by underhand means from linking herself to costars, buying constant hot searches comparing herself to big stars like Zhao liying and instigating CPF fans.
I didn’t mind her or know much about her until I watched a recent drama of hers.I’m a fan of the male lead in it so I actually got to know about her actions (I have to tell you being in c-drama land a long time, NEVER have I seen such shameless unprofessional behavior by an actress).
I was curious why she’s called green tea and the definition above “ ambitious woman pretends to be very cute and innocent” suits perfectly..
ANOTHER PICK ME, LOL.
Never? Zhao Liying is THE GREEN TEA, lol. And being ambitious is no bad, but you have shit for brains lol.
YOU ARE A PICK ME. LOL.
Don’t mess with Chinese men idols…they are delusional as heck.
Sorry, but the c-netz weren’t commenting b/c of the actor the post had mentioned.
When the new first got discussed and went to the weibo hot search, a lot of people were on Lusi’s side and felt bad for her to have been caught up in such “prank”.
People started get upset b/c her studio had already released a response, the issue had died down, Then the next day, she posts an ambiguous message which led many to believe it was about the incident and sends the incident back to the hot search at #1 search again.The day following, her friend also refers to the incident again in a post and that also trended for a good amount of time. People were upset at the fact that the same incident was sent to the hot search over and over again for several days, making it seem like she was using the incident to drive traffic to her name
Again, it’s people believing in whatever they want. What if she just posted something that meant something else? People are always speculating, that’s the issue, they have to stop this.
I guess you missed the point of my explanation, which was the comments were stating she had used this incident to continuously reach the hot search on weibo (not as your comment stated just b/c that “post” was regards to a male artist).
And in her recent live stream tonight she had cued the ‘green tea’ reference herself, and again has made it to the top of the hot search. In most people’s view, if she wanted the topic to be dropped, she wouldn’t have kept referencing to it
Using your logic, Xiao Zhan’s incident was made by himself? Lol, pick me.
Oh well just let them talk if they tried they going to stop .
