"Wednesday" became a global hit with its magical dance. The heroine was infected with the new coronavirus but continued to dance, causing controversy

Wednesday, a live-action spin-off of "The Addams Family", became an internet sensation after its premiere. Jenna Ortega played Wednesday and performed a magical dance at the fourth episode's dance party, which quickly became popular on major social media platforms. Many people imitated her signature moves of uncoordinated body movements and dancing with facial expressions.

Unexpectedly, Ortega was experiencing early symptoms of COVID-19 when he performed this passionate dance on the set, which also triggered various criticisms online.

Ortega recently revealed in an interview that she choreographed and designed the dance herself. She said: "About a week before the shooting, I got the dance song "Goo Goo Muck". I tried my best and frantically sought all the help." But she went on to say: "It was the first day I was infected with the new crown during the shooting, so the condition was very bad."

Ortega said he felt unwell when he got up that day. "It's strange because I never get sick, but I was in a bad condition at the time. My whole body ached and I felt as if I had been hit by a car, and there was a goblin stuck in my throat scratching and scratching. They gave me medicine during the break and waited for the nucleic acid test results."

This statement sparked controversy online, because people are already feeling unwell and should rest, and they should not go to film if they have also taken nucleic acid tests. But they are still filming before the test results come out? Wouldn't that put all the actors who participated in the filming of the ball at risk of infection?

The production company issued a statement saying that the filming was organized strictly in accordance with the new crown prevention and control rules formulated by the actors' union. If Ortega's nucleic acid test was positive, she would be isolated. However, netizens criticized that there was a lag in the nucleic acid test results. She had already shown symptoms at the time, and she should have stopped working and was not allowed to enter the set even if the nucleic acid test was negative.

Ortega insisted on filming despite being ill and even asked for a retake, but time did not allow it. She expressed regret for this, otherwise the dance could have been even more magical.

Only two weeks after its launch, "Wednesday" has already topped Netflix's weekly ratings rankings (752.5 million hours), ranking third in ratings history, behind "Stranger Things" Season 4 (1.35 billion hours of monthly viewing) and "Dahmer" (856.2 million hours of monthly viewing). Industry insiders pointed out that the show is expected to continue to be the weekly champion for the rest of the week, and eventually surpass "Dahmer" and even "Stranger Things" in monthly viewing.
