Over the past two days, "Song Quy" has been a movie that has continuously been trending in China's hot search because of a series of controversies.
The film began filming in September and was scheduled to start filming on November 14, but was postponed to November 22. On November 28, filming stopped due to a director change.
On December 1, the film replaced the entire crew. After that, the film crew spoke up but could not calm public opinion.
On December 6, the movie "Song Quy" once again became a topic of discussion, receiving a series of criticisms after the status with a tearful emoticon of the female lead Ngu Thu Han.
Although the actress spoke up to reassure fans immediately afterwards, the majority still posted questions about the film crew, demanding rights for their artists.
The reason is that the film has started filming but there has not been a ceremony to open the film or announce the cast. In addition, Ngu Thu Han being caught up in the noise of "extra acting" has caused the wave of criticism to increase.
One day after the wave of criticism (December 7), former staff of the movie "Song Quy" posted an article expressing their anger at being fired mid-production.
According to the director of the film's racing scene, Team B, it took them 3 months to prepare (from September to December), write 500 scripts for this scene, and survey locations at home and abroad.
However, after Team A started filming for 6 days, they learned that the film crew was disbanded and only received a small amount of money for 12 days of preparation, instead of compensation for the 3 months the crew had spent.
Meanwhile, a supporting actor also posted a post revealing that the script for "Song Quy" had been edited quite a bit, completely different from the script they received when signing the contract.
Amidst the public storm, the current crew of "Song Quy" released a poster announcing Ngu Thu Han as the female lead of the film.
The fact that the poster only has the actress's name shows that this is a special treatment for the female lead of season 1 (the actress with the highest position in the cast).
Along with that, when appearing at "Iqiyi Screaming Night", Ngu Thu Han spoke for the first time about the reason for closing "Song Quy".
“Maybe it was the script. The story of “Song Quy” touched me. The female lead character in the story is a role I have never tried before. She is a girl who makes me feel very heartbroken.
The process of working with the two directors was also very enjoyable, and my own requirements were also very high. Everyone in the film crew is trying their best to bring the best work to the audience. I am confident that our project will get better and better."
Ngu Thu Han's sharing shows that the Chinese star is very passionate about the project, but whether "Song Quy" can regain the public's sympathy or not, we still have to wait until the film airs.
"Song Quy" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Thoi Cuu Vien, telling the story of Can Mo (Ngu Thu Han) and Can Trieu (Ha Du) - two brothers who are not related by blood.
The two were separated when Can Mo was 9 years old and reunited at 18. At this time, they faced difficulties together, bravely pursued their dreams and their feelings once again became strongly connected.
