On the afternoon of December 10, the suspected news "Ma Ba Khien - the supporting actor of the movie Song Quy has been changed" climbed to the top 1 trending entertainment news search on the Weibo platform.
An audience member said that Ma Ba Khien had been in Nanjing since October to prepare for his role as Tam Lai in "Song Quy" (in the film, his name was changed to Lam Tue). The actor found a boxing coach to train him and practiced diligently for more than a month.
On December 2, Ma Ba Qian was also seen filming the first scenes of “Song Gui”. But recently, the actor is said to have left the film crew and returned to Beijing. The media reported that Ma Ba Qian was replaced, and a new actor has now joined the film crew.
“Double Ghost” stars Yu Shuxin and He Yu. Some of the male supporting roles revealed include Mike, Ma Baqian, Yin Haoyu, and Zhou Haoqi.
The news that Ma Ba Khien was replaced nearly half a month after the movie "Song Quy" started filming was shocking. Because Ma Ba Khien is known as an actor with a "huge" family background.
He became famous for his supporting role in the movie “The Secret Cannot Be Hide” (starring Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan). Ma Ba Qian is the “rich kid” of a wealthy family, born in New York, USA. He studied piano since childhood and graduated from the University of Southern California.
Ma Baqian's parents both graduated from Tsinghua University with degrees in architecture. His father, Ma Qingyun, is a member of the American Institute of Architects and in 2006 became the dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California, the first Chinese architect to hold that position overseas.
Ma Ba Khien's maternal grandfather is Li An Ge, who was the coach of the Chinese national women's volleyball team.
With a “no-nonsense” family background, netizens were surprised when Ma Ba Khien showed signs of being kicked out of the “Double Ghost” crew. The audience also thought that “Double Ghost” had been filming for a long time but there was no official post announcing the cast, because of internal instability, not only the crew but also some actors were replaced.
Previously, “Song Quy” caused a stir on social media when people in the old crew accused it of deceit, irresponsibility, and suddenly forcing employees to quit. In addition, there were rumors that Ngu Thu Han was bullied by the director.
Yu Shuxin's fans expressed concern and called on the actress to drop out of the project. But as of now, Yu Shuxin's withdrawal from the project is almost impossible, as "Double Treasure" has released a concept poster, announcing Yu Shuxin as the female lead. She is also the only confirmed actress so far.
