On the evening of January 4, while the Tencent platform's Starlight Awards were taking place, Chinese social media was in an uproar because actor Li Mingde suddenly posted an announcement of his retirement and exposed the "dark corners" of the Chinese entertainment industry.
Ly Minh Duc said that he was oppressed and cut from the role by the film crew of "Tam Nhan Hanh" because he was dissatisfied with the male lead Ma Thien Vu.
Ly Minh Duc accused Ma Thien Vu of having star behavior, receiving "special treatment" from the director such as being absent during the script reading; arriving 40 minutes late to the set, making Ly Minh Duc wait in -17 degree cold weather; not knowing his lines when acting...
Faced with the accusations, Ma Tianyu posted a sarcastic post about his junior having “depression”. However, due to mixed reactions, Ma Tianyu deleted the post and posted a second post to deny everything.
However, netizens quickly found evidence that the actor lied. The general script reading for “Three People” was held in Jilin on December 26, 2024, but Ma Tianyu was still in Heilongjiang that day. By noon on December 27, 2024, his Weibo IP address showed that he was in Beijing.
Ma Tianyu then quickly deleted the posts with IP addresses in Beijing on his personal page to "destroy" the evidence.
Although the director of the movie “Three Men” spoke up to defend Ma Tianyu and criticized Li Mingde for lying, public opinion did not calm down. Many opinions said that the director and Ma Tianyu were “of the same ilk”.
Next, Ma Tianyu's past scandals were dug up.
It is reported that the female lead of "The Nine Deadly Sins" Meng Ziyi was once a "victim" of Ma Tianyu's habit of being late and star disease.
In the show "Freshman" in 2016, Meng Ziyi had a scene with Ma Tianyu. She waited for a long time but Ma Tianyu did not show up. In the end, Meng Ziyi could not return to school on time and was scolded by the teacher. She also asked to leave the show after the incident.
Ma Tianyu once had posts that "offended" or affected many other stars such as Lu Han, Wallace Chung, and Yang Zi and had to delete the posts. He was also criticized for giving an interview in an impolite manner about Yang Mi's appearance.
Ma Tianyu was born in 1986, known through the films "Night Rose" (with Ruby Lin, Wallace Chung), "Ancient Sword and Fairy Tale" (with Yang Mi, Li Yifeng), "Illusory City", "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms", "Chen Yuan" (with Angelababy), "My Boy Mo Ge Li" (with Yang Zi), "Successful Upstream Tragedy" (with Zheng Shuang)...
Meanwhile, Ly Minh Duc is a young actor born in 1996, who has participated in several films such as "Go Go Squid", "We Are So Lovely", and "Jade Bone Knife".
After 1 day of dominating the media, Ly Minh Duc continues to release evidence accusing the film crew of "Tam Nhan Hanh" of oppressing and not paying employees.
Ma Thien Vu is said to be a hypocrite, building a pitiful image but bullying young actors.
