The TV series "The Big Story in a Small Town" starring Zhao Liying and Huang Xiaoming will air on CCTV-8 and Tencent Video platform on the evening of January 10.
However, right before the premiere, an actor in the film got into trouble again.
Sohu reported that, according to court records, actor Li Jiuzhai is suspected of being involved in a school violence case, causing a female student in the same school to suffer from schizophrenia, and the victim's body also suffered long-term damage due to the side effects of treatment drugs, affecting for life.
The incident occurred in 2005, when 4 male students assaulted a female student, and was later included in the list of typical civil cases in 2012, showing the severity of the incident.
According to re-examined information, the person believed to be involved in violence - Ly Cuu Tieu - used to study at Bat Nhat High School, the age of committing crimes is about 15 years old. More than 20 years have passed, this person has now reappeared in the entertainment industry as an actor.
Currently, Li Jiuzhai has not spoken out to clarify whether he is the person mentioned or not.
Li Jiuzhao was born in 1990. Public information shows that he graduated from Beijing Film Academy, but did not specifically mention secondary and high school. This makes viewers suspicious.
Amidst the noise, Ly Cuu Tieu is still active on social networks, continuing to post advertisements for the movie "Big Stories in Small Towns".
The commentary section quickly flooded with questions questioning whether he was involved in the school violence case or not, but the actor did not respond.
At the same time, the film crew of "The Big Story in the Small Town" also showed insensitivity when they continued to post propaganda articles as usual, and listed Li Jiuzhai in the list of main actors.
Public opinion about Bruce Lee is very negative. Even, many viewers commented that his appearance "looks unsympathetic", and frequently playing villain roles is no different from "acting true to nature".
Meanwhile, Zhao Liying's fans also took action to protect their idol. Fans believe that a part of the audience digging up the past that is said to be related to Bruce Lee is only aimed at causing a bad impact on the film, not wanting Zhao Liying to succeed.
Many people point out that if there is really a problem, just cut off Ly Cuu Tieu's role and it will be done, it will not affect Trieu Le Dinh.
However, if the scandal is confirmed, the fact that the film crew secretly protected the actors will certainly anger the audience, and the first wave of reactions will flow directly into the film, in which Trieu Le Dinh is the person most affected.
The scandal is also attracting Li Jiuzhao's attention. Audiences discovered that the actor, although not yet booming in fame, has many roles in prestigious projects.
He has appeared in many major film projects such as "Chongqing hot pot", "Love you from the first sight", "Bat bac", "Operation Hadal", "The Month of the Criminal Police"...
An actor who is not too outstanding but owns many good film projects has made audiences curious about the capacity of his management company. His representative company is Qixi Culture, which gathers both veteran and new generation artists such as Truong Tinh So, Vuong Ngoc Van.
Through business connections, public opinion also discovered behind the scenes the shadow of producer Luong Tinh - wife of director Quan Ho - so it is not difficult to understand why Ly Cuu Tieu can participate in many major film projects.
