It's true that the first female lead in the movie, Xia Zhu, played by Song Yunhua, is a fan of the famous singer Wang Leehom, whose concert she especially wants to attend. Later, Wang Duoyu, the richest man in West Rainbow City, played by Shen Teng, actually invited Wang Leehom (himself making a cameo appearance) and sang two of his masterpieces, "Need Someone to Keep You Company" and "Impossible to Miss You".
When Wang Leehom showed up at that time, not only did Xia Zhu, played by Song Yunhua in the movie, feel happy, but even the audience in front of the big screen was pleasantly surprised. Some even said that just this episode was worth the price of admission.
However, when the movie was recently revisited on online video platforms, and when the scene came to Wang Leehom's scene, the audience's words at the pop-up screen changed dramatically.
Previously, viewers were posting pop-ups saying, "Wang Leehom is so handsome," "Wang Leehom's song is so beautiful," "Wang Leehom is really a surprise," and so on. Now viewers are saying on the pop-up screen, "Wang Leehom is cool", "will the movie be shelved" and so on.
The reason why the audience's words will have such a big change, mainly because of Wang Leehom's recent "divorce". On December 17th, Wang Lihong's ex-wife, Li Lianglei, sent a 1,000-word article accusing him of marital infidelity and cold violence.
This incident directly led to many brands and Wang Leehom to cancel the partnership, China Women's Daily also official microblogging comment on Wang Leehom incident, said that the star status is not an umbrella, the value of talent is not a shield.
So it seems, Wang Leehom has become a misdemeanor artist. In China, all the moral failures of the artist will be boycotted, his work more or less will be affected to some extent, or AI change face, or delete the scene, or by the platform off the shelf.
