But instead of calming the storm, this added more fuel.
People began saying:
"These directors must be paid off!"
"She probably gave them gifts or money!"
"Why else would they defend her like this?"
That's when Yu Holea had enough.
She opened her Weibo, took a deep breath, and typed a post herself.
It was long.
And it was powerful.
Yu Holea then released an official statement saying that she was going to celebrate her first movie, Scream Behind Silence, for its 4 anniversary since that movie had been released and many people had loved it.
She was proud to announce something even more surprising: she was the director of that movie.
The internet froze.
Everyone on Weibo stared at the statement, reading it again and again, almost like they thought it might disappear.
"Wait… what?"
"Yu Holea? The actress? She directed that?"
