Yang Yang Starts Filming Period C-drama Bu Rang Jiang Shan and Production Immediately Mired in Controversy Over Allegations of Changed Script
There is no argument that the entertainment industry is shady as hell, across any and all countries and productions, so this latest kerfluffle in C-ent isn’t unique to that industry. Production kicked off this week for the period C-drama Bu Rang Jiang Shan (不让江山) starring Yang Yang with female lead Zhou Jie Qiong and Zai Zhi Lu as the second male lead. Immediately after the commencement ceremony, controversy erupted that the production had dual scripts and Yang Yang was hoodwinked into accepting the drama with one script but filming is starting with a different second script. The changes give more screentime to Zai Zhi Lu and may even relegate Yang Yang to third male lead level from screentime alone. His fans are throwing a massive hissy fit and demanding he leave the drama and not pay any penalty and even reporting the production to authorities for fraud. Reportedly Yang Yang will not leave the drama but the production will be tweaking the script to address any concerns.
All the best to him and to Zhou Jieqiong (Kyulkyung) whose role also got chopped! Hope these disgusting practices will come to an end!
I have to google the 2nd ML, Zai Zhi Lu WHO. lol. I found out he isn’t a nobody to me although I couldn’t recognize him at all from the pic. lol. He played the cousin of Xiao Zhan’s character in The Oath of Love, where his role was awkwardly written and his acting was one of the creasiest among all. lol.
So nepotism is rampant, not fictional at all in C-ent. Why do unimpressive actors keep getting important roles and stealing screen time from leading actors? I can’t explain that other than nepotism.
