With the current success of the Chinese TV series "Eternal Night Galaxy", not only has the reputation of the male and female leads Dinh Vu He and Ngu Thu Han been enhanced, the female supporting character Chuc Tu Dan has also received the love of the audience.
Recently, producer and director Vu Chinh said that he is about to launch a new film project. An audience member asked if Vu Chinh would like to invite Chuc Tu Dan to play the main role, because her reputation is very good.
In response to the comment, Yu Zheng implied that, although “Eternal Night Galaxy” was successful, Zhu Zidan’s status has not yet been elevated. Instead of Zhu Zidan, Yu Zheng would rather invite Yu Shuxin to play the lead role in his film, because Yu Shuxin can “carry the film” (contribute greatly to the film’s success).
This statement by Vu Chinh caused controversy. Some of Ngu Thu Han's fans thought that Vu Chinh's statement would easily cause Ngu Thu Han to be criticized.
On the other hand, most netizens believe that Vu Chinh responded like that because of a previous conflict with Chuc Tu Dan.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Zhu Zidan refused to act in Yu Zheng's film "Five Blessings Come to the Door" to accept the female lead role in "Mirror of the Flower Fate".
Vu Chinh was angry because Chuc Tu Dan dropped out of the role just before the film started filming. He texted Chuc Tu Dan's manager, blaming her for being "poor in character" and "untrustworthy".
Later, due to some problems, the project "Kinh Hoa Duyen" was shelved, and Chuc Tu Dan also lost the female lead role.
But fans defended Zhu Zidan, saying that she had not signed the contract, so Yu Zheng could not blame her like that.
Zhu Zidan's fans were also upset that after Gulnazar refused to take the lead role in "Five Blessings Come to the Door", Yu Zheng invited Lu Yuxiao to take the role instead of Zhu Zidan. At that time, Lu Yuxiao had just become famous after her supporting role in "Clouds and Rain".
Others suspect that Yu Zheng is taking advantage of the popularity of “Eternal Night Galaxy” to deliberately mention Zhu Zidan and Yu Shuxin to attract attention. This is also not the first time the director has made controversial statements regarding Chinese actors.
