Zhang Yi never expected that his offhand remark, "Director Zhang has lost his mind," would become a massive viral catchphrase in 2003.
Clever internet users linked it to the upcoming CTV production of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and further connected it to recent news that the role of Wang Yuyan would be played by Li Xuexue of Yihua Group. Although Zhang Yi hadn't named anyone specifically, many people automatically assumed Director Zhang referred to Zhang Jizhong.
Consequently, "Director Zhang has lost his mind" became an inside joke used by Liu Yifei's fans to mock the situation.
