On the evening of December 6, the annual event "The Thet Festival Night" of the iQiYi platform became the focus of the media, gathering a series of famous stars to attend and honor outstanding actors and films of the year.
However, while fans were congratulating the artists who received the awards, Liu Shishi's fan community criticized the organizers for an award related to an actress that was mistakenly awarded, leading to Bai Lu being spread.
Before the official awards ceremony took place, on November 21, iQiYi announced the Top 3 of the "Most Favorite Female Character of the Year" category, respectively: Pho Nhat Tieu starring Ly Tham in the movie "Nhat Tieu Duong Ca", Ninh Tu Tu starring Duong Mich in the movie " synch Van Tu" and Dong Phuong Hoai Truc played by Luu Thi Thi in the movie "Hoai Thi Hoa Thuong".
However, in the iQiYi festival, Liu Shishi's character was replaced by Bai Lu's character Li Qingyu in the film "Gangxi Fairy". In fact, Bai Lu is ranked 2nd, above Yang Mi.
When Liu Shishi's fans were upset with the result, iQiYi apologized and admitted to being "lazy at work", leading to incorrect information published at the event. The official results are still the Top 3 announced earlier.
However, Liu Shishi's fans were not satisfied with the way the organizers handled the situation. Because this award category involves fans having to spend money to vote for their favorite artist to enter the Top 3.
The platform had promised that the 3 leading characters would be promoted at the festival night, such as reading their names on stage, showing photos on the big screen... But because Liu Shishi's award was mistakenly given to Bai Lu, the benefits as initially committed were not implemented.
Many opinions say that this is an act of deceiving consumers. Liu Shishi's fans have demanded a refund because their voting efforts have been denied.
In addition, Bach Loc's fans are also upset because the lack of professionalism from the organizers has caused the "Lam Giang Tien" beauty to be caught up in controversy.
Although mistakenly awarded an award by Liu Shishi, Bai Lu was named in another category - one of the important awards of the iQiYi platform.
When holding the trophy on stage, Bai Lu quoted the line in the film "The Forest of Giang Tien" - "The Long Night, Only the Day is the Sun Revealing, Gold is the Hope" - to express his belief in his career path and promised to continue to strive in the future.
