So this is like a High Noon standoff and I’m fascinated on the eventual outcome. Top C-actress Sun Li started filming a new thriller modern C-drama with award winning TW-actor Chris Wu (Wu Kang Ren) in his first foray into C-ent. She’s filmed for over two weeks but then went on strike (did not officially drop out of the drama) last week reportedly due to her concern with Chris Wu did not sufficiently state his position/support for the Mainland Chinese government and country on his October 1 SNS posting. To make clear, Chris Wu has never spoken against Mainland China not now or before, but her position is that he needs to proactively and clearly state his support for. So it’s not enough to be silent or neutral, he needs to now take a stand for Mainland China, which we all know isn’t something many TW-stars do openly. A lot of top stars have worked in China from Ariel Lin, Joe Cheng, Ethan Ruan, et. al. but it hasn’t been requested to be actively supporting Mainland Chinese positions as long as one did not openly oppose it. It is likely a changing political climate and it’s not clear how this standoff will resolve itself but C-ent insiders are saying Chris Wu’s new Mainland Chinese agency is fully in support of him and the drama production will likely replace Sun Li if she doesn’t come back willingly.
