Well this is a snitty little brouhaha but ultimately nothing that wasn’t already bandied about. Over the weekend The Double male lead Wang Xing Yue‘s personal production office (i.e. his team) released a video of the drama that showed the original ending was his character Xiao Heng dying in battle. The sad ending of The Double was long rumored and the happy ending epilogue was reportedly filmed last minute after the drama premiered and was popular and the feedback was that fans would not accept a sad ending. It does make sense as there was no way in hell Xiao Heng was getting out of that battle alive haha but this drama didn’t need a sad ending either so I was fine with the last minute change up. Producer Yu Zheng is reportedly so mad at Wang Xing Yue’s team for releasing the sad ending video and he announced he was going to fire the whole lot of team for disrespecting the integrity of his drama. The reason for the release is reportedly Wang Xing Yue’s team getting into fights with CP shippers so revealing the sad ending was a way to pour cold water on the CP shipping.

I have not read the final chapters of the novel coz it’s not translated yet… I recall the novel had a happy ending. It’s a good thing Yu Zheng stayed sane and didn’t air the sad ending.
A sad ending would not help him to continue to milk the cow. LOL. I just hope there won't be a special called, for example, "The Double: Next Generation Adventures" like what happened with Story Of Yanxi Palace. LOL.
I caught up with the novel yesterday and there are certainly some events that have more coherence. But definitely the censorship in China would not let them go unnoticed.
Oh so this is the scandal someone mentioned before in another post, lmao...
Who cares... as long as he doest get involved in tax scandal, prostitution, abortion, human trafficking, dating a minor, affair, drugs or killing someone, i dont care.
Anywaayyyss, it's so wrong to post something like this. CP thing again and again, aiyaaa, it's not like they really date each other. If he has a good chemistry with his next co star in his next project, people will change the CP.
I dont mind a sad ending, goodbye my princess is an example. But for the double, duh, i just cant. Xiao Heng deserves the happy ending.
It was his confused fan @SCHI who mentioned it. She claims to detest Wang Xing Yue but is the number one to know news related to him. LOL. @SCHI has him on her mind 24/7 because she even mentions him in posts unrelated to him. LOL.
I am also unaffected by his "scandal" as long as it is not a legit crime.
No, I think the Scandal previously alluded to was the drunk video, but that wasn't a scandal either!
@Nena I also heard about that but I downplayed it.
LOL. Liang Yong Qi was also recorded drunk but they only tried to made a scandal about Wang Xing Yue. Both of them finished recording "Hello Saturday" and went drinking. They ended up staggering around supporting each other. LOL. The scene was fun for me until the paparazzi and sasaengs showed up.

@Lyss, how was that clip a scandal? It just showed how normal drunk ppl wobbled. LOL.
@Somebody LOL. I know it's not a scandal, I commented that netizens tried to make a fuss about it. That's why I shared the gif, so that those who visit this post can see how it went. LOL.
No, his studio posting this alternate ending started a whole series of rumors/hot searches on Weibo. There was one about him dating some costars, then it was him using female celebs to promote CPs/be more famous, then it was him faking his age, then someone hacked into his alleged taobao account and accused him of buying lingerie for his gf (why this is even a scandal is beyond me), then right now there's rumors about his family/him using some government funds when they shouldn't have. And this all happened in like two days, so his name was on the hot search every hour of the day. Long story short, WXY did not have a good weekend.
The doubts about his real age are still persistent. People cannot believe his age cause of how mature he looks.
I’m aldo doubting his age lol
Lol his fans have been attacking the FL since the start, trying to drag her down because they wanted to transfer all the hype onto him. It was vile. This is just more of the same attempts to focus what success drama had solely on him by tearing the CP they encouraged and then scooping up all those fans for him.
Yu Zheng wouldn't have said anything about this if it hadn't backfired, against their wishes. This is just him trying to clean up a little. WXY has already been caught repeatedly buying major water.
In the end, he is just like all the other nugus who caught a whiff of popularity and lost his head thinking he can do whatever he wants.
Share your sources and evidence. In your comments you always accuse different artists, but there is never any information of what you mention. LOL. Last time you accused Xiao Zhan of buying negative comments to attack Zhang Jingyi, didn't you? LMAO.
It is true that there are fans of him who have been attacking Wu Jinyan. No fandom is free from hateful people. LOL.
Accusations such as yours are generally a none factor. LOL.
Lol these aren't "accusations".
CP fans purification is a well known practice in cent. Almost all sides of well known CP try it, sooner or later. This was his, inept, attempt and YZ is trying to clean up the situation because he f up.
As for water, he has been caught because cnetz know all their tricks by now. He is coming after the great water kings Cheng Yi, Gong Jun and Deng Wei. After learning from these three, none of these nugus can do something and not be caught. Tough luck I guess.
@CP LOL. If they aren't, where is the proof? Oh, no!😰Magically the so-called evidence is gone now. LMAO. C-netz always saves screen shots, screen records, web archives. But now it turns they don't how to do it. LOL.
You wrote the same thing when I asked you about Xiao Zhan. LOL.
@Nope @CP He could easily wash the negativity away if CP fans or his' can erase the trace, hahaha!
@Lyss
You have screenshots all over Douban groups. He got mocked for it and they moved on because no matter how hard you cry, the guy is just a nugu whose agency is dropping the ball on what little fame he managed to get through this drama.
If I were you, I would be more worried about that. If they can't handle this level of fame without messing up so badly then he is done for. Cent is cruel.
@CP Crying? LOL. I'm pretty amused about it, but if want to fantasy about me crying, I'll let you be because it won't affect your mental gymnastics. LOL, why didn't you just say they were on Douban groups? It was easy. LOL. I only asked a few questions and now you are acting like I am his fan. LOL. 1). "The guy is just a nugu". 2). "If they can't hadle this level of fame". LMAO. A nugu could not have fame, you should at least, order your ideas. LOL. He is just a rising actor, nothing more nothing less.
@CP i don't know much about wang xing yue but antifans can actually buy water for the artist(s) they dislike. and then they can accuse them for it. i remember when sean xiao joined instagram, there were a lot of empty and new accounts with strange usernames following him. and when he posted his first photo, there were comments that were quickly accusing him of buying fake followers. there are pages in which you only need to write the username and pay. in china it should be more easy.
i'm checking douban but can't find anything. there are even users mocking him because his skin used to be paler. can you help me with a link?
His fans have also been attacking him so we could say that the two are evenly matched😂. Wang Xing Yue's name is evidently better known now, I doubt he needs to buy water when his work on The Double is what made him rise in popularity. Otherwise, he could have done it easily before. I would also like to know your evidence or source. Defamations are also vile attacks.
Her fans*
it seems they were waiting for a controversy to start writing crap about him.
@Nope Your writing is similar to user @Schi. Why is nugu used negatively when even the most popular names in C-Ent started that way?
There are even wonderful actors like Fang Yilun and Zhao Yingzi, who despite their talent superior to certain liuliangs, they are underrated. If buying water were the solution, they would have become more popular by now.
For him to have died in the battle at the end would have been logical. Wen Ji was pierced by multiple arrows, the enemies should have had no difficulty moving their arms and aiming at Xiao Heng. But since he had plot armor, the enemies preferred to be busy contemplating how sexy he looked holding Xue Li's jade in his mouth😂
I haven’t watched the drama yet but the jade in the mouth comment you made sounds intriguingly weird. lol so many dramas that have been praised from here to kingdom come and I said I’d watch them but at the end of the day just feel so lazy to try. One day I will just not sure when that will be 🙃
That "jade in his mouth" part gives me a good laugh. LOL. That's so dramatic.
@Drea @Somebody @Rero LOL. I think the reason why Xiao Heng bit the jade pendant given to him by Xue Fangfei was because he was afraid that after his possible death, his head would be chopped off by the enemy and he would be separated from the jade pendant.
Also in the novel, the jade was returned to Xue Fang Fei when Xiao Heng/his body went missing. She refused to believe he was dead and kept waiting. So actually that bloody shot could've still worked with the story IF they just had a shot of them hugging by the tree.
I’m not familiar with the intricacies of Chinese fandom wars so I won’t comment on that, but I wonder what bothered YZ so much he decided to reshoot the ending. In the Ye Olden Days his entire MO was to get to get both fans of the original IPs and of his adaptations absolutely berserk with his shenanigans. Fans were angry, actors got hate, and he got all the publicity in the world. Changing a HE to OE/SE would be the least of his shenanigans. So, what changed? I don’t get it.
Yu Zheng is upset because he had previously said that The Double had been recorded with a happy ending, but we can see that it was not. A
Exactly he was the one who filmed that ending but he decided to give up on it after the success and cash that was pouring on his a$$.
agreed. he's only pissed coz he got caught lying. nothing new here haha.
The delusions of grandeur with “Disrespecting the integrity of his drama”, YZ is wild. CP fans having a meltdown because his studio released that is soo ridiculous and shows you how insane these chronically online fans are. And now with all the nonstop drama with WXY’s private life on Weibo, I feel for the guy. It’s not easy to gain popularity in the entertainment industry and just when he gets a little glimpse, there’s suddenly a major invasion of privacy. Gossip is so easy to spread, whether it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter, it’s out there. It doesn’t help that the industry is so competitive, others will tear these actors down.
Loool! Wang Xing Yue has gained millions of fans thanks to The Double. He has had enough of the benefits of CP fans, so why his studio wants to turn the table over and backstab them? Looooool! How can a 22-year-old man not know anything? He's not a kid. Looool! It reminded me of the Xiao Zhan's 227 incident because it was caused by himself and then he wanted to play the victim too looool! Only idiots feel sorry for these two annoying actors!!!
@SCHI One troll says he buys water and another troll says he actually has gained millions of fans. LOL.
@SCHI LOL. Since you failed to get the results you expected with your deranged comments towards Wang Xing Yue, you are now selecting a bigger name like gorgeous Xiao Zhan. LOL. You shouldn't feel useless, let me console you by saying that your comments made me laugh. See? You are not a complete good-for-nothing. LOL.
LOL. Since your deranged comments towards Wang Xingyue didn't have the result you expected, now you want to select a bigger name like gorgeous Xiao Zhan. LOL. Don't you get tired of it being a joke? Lol.
I was actually looking through the comment section for this clown to pop up. Here we are! Quite a circus show! LMAO.
I don't know if his studio really did it behind his back, but it's a stupid move considering The Double ended recently. And there are so many types of fans: drama fans, CP fans, characters fans, artists fans. For artist studios, the most valuable ones are the artist fans. But after a drama is broadcast, how to attract more fans from so many types of fans? Well, using "purification", that is, from the above-mentioned fans, through various techniques to "extract" the fans who purely like their own artists. I think the staff of Wang Xingyue's studio suspected that they hoped to "purify" more fans by releasing the clips.
I could be completely wrong but these are just ideas that came to me.
According to the information released by Yu Zheng, I think Wang Xingyue's studio hoped to "purify" fans by releasing "artist's performance highlights" such as character damage. LOL. Well, with more autentic fans, one can increase one's market competitiveness. In the Internet age, there are too many commercial projects and even film and television works. LOL. One of the important measurement indicators is not the actor's acting skills, but data, such as the number of fans, sales data, conversion rate, Weibo forwarding volume, comment data, etc. LOL.

But again, it was dumb movement.
As if “death” is a real threat in Chinese dramaland. Lol. Death and resurrection go hand in hand in C-dramas. Always coming in clutch with a last ditch revival 🤝
that's true. like what kind of weird murderous husband who dug a deep hole would bury his wife so close to the surface and with her head sticking out so she could survive like that 🤣
