The summer 2022 modern C-drama Gentlemen of Eastern 8th, which is the C-version of Gentleman of Dignity in general set up of four male best friends and their love lives, ended its run with an abysmal Douban score of 2.1 and good riddance to that. Even more good riddance is reserved for male lead Zhang Han (Hans Zhang) who during the drama run was spotted by viewers groping his female lead in drama scenes unnecessarily, grabbing her by the back bra strap and touching her breasts with his hands when he was pulling her into his lap. Those were scenes for a drama but there are ways to stage it so there is no real life inappropriate contact and that did not happen here. C-netizens also dug up other such sleazy touching Zhang Han did prior and all in all he’s current persona non grata with netizens, though no sign that he’s getting cancelled by C-ent. That position seems to be making him take a time out, as this week he was edited out of variety show Let It Be so he was only in 3 seconds which does send a message. One good thing to come out of this is that it will be harder for him to get away with/attempt such shady cop a feels in the future.
He really messed up his comeback…he really need to focus on making money elsewhere. I doubt anyone will touch him easily… he may get odd castings for supporting roles but I am unsure he will be a lead actor in a while. With his age catching up, he may not going to be make another comeback. This was his chance..
If I’m not mistaken ZH is the writer, producer, director etc for the said drama. The drama is reeks of misogyny, the reason it received lots of complains hence it was taken down.
E tanta merda sendo falada ,ele e um ótimo ator ,vcs são puros em achar maldade em tudo ,porq n perguntar a atriz q atuou com ele .Mania de perfeição ,pois medíocre n e atoa q até mesmo a religião de vcs quem e o governo .Vcs são .tudo sem expressão .Mor ao Zhang Han.
First of all it’s acting. Did he actually do that on purpose. Wow people always assume things without knowing. He pulled her down from behind he couldn’t see her front. And just maybe the bra strap was his reaction to catch her because he wasn’t ready. People always assume the worst.
Sadden that a editing team / director would not screen the cause of this occurrence. If he acted like a diva then it was perhaps due to climb to fame and his talents. It is unfortunate that such an alleged action can harm all involved.
It is difficult to accept that any real crime was committed and his reputation has been smeared by this
Much to do about nothing. Folks this is what acting is all about. It would be harassment if he did that off camera. Meanwhile a bunch of ignorant people ruined his career over nothing.
I’m inclined to agree E.O. , I hate the double standards and self-rightious accusations. Meanwhile how many critiques are streaming smutty videos or oggling racy magazines in the bathroom – then go to church or the temple for sainthood status. Pleeeeze be real China – it’s OK to hack a head off or dismember a body, but God help us if a bit of naked skin is seen!! My question is: Is this an on-going occurance with him or a one-off? Did the actress immediate report him or protest? I guess not as it still appeared in the original release and KNOWING how strict China is, what moron would shoot their career in the foot by knowingly provide evidence-of-misjustice, if it wasn’t part of the original script?
