Because of the scandal of Hong Kong female star Gillian Chung (Ah Jiao) and Edison Chen, her good girl image is ruined, protecting their idol this caused a stir with Wu Zun's fans, these few days China, Hong Kong and Taiwan's region websites have connected together, expressing to Wu Zun's management company for propaganda, requesting the company to not have Wu Zun and Gillian perform together in the film "Martial Arts Lovers". The fans have said, "We don't want Wu Zun's first film to be tarnished, Ah Gil is already not good enough for Wu Zun, this is filming the "Butterfly Lovers", not filming "Jin Ping Mei!"
Wu Zun is suppose to enter the big screen this year, it's scheduled to start filming Ma Chu Cheng's "Martial Arts Lover" after he finishes filming the idol drama "Hot Shot", originally the pairing of Wu Zun and Ah Gil would have been the perfect golden boy and girl, but now Ah Gil is involved in the Edison Chen scandal, the collaboration may change.
Ah Gil's management company EEG has denied Ah Gil will be changed the part, but has admitted that Nicholas Tse will not be filming in "Martial Arts Lover"; but the reason is because of the schedule conflicts.
Despite Ah Gil an artist stepping forward courageously, but most Hong Kong media still criticizes her act heavily.
The reason is because Ah Gil's image was a too deifying good girl image, this included her expressing in public of a kissing scene that made her feel gross, and not having pre-marriage sexual relationship, after the picture scandal this shows her contradicting. The Hong Kong media's comments have heavily criticized, "Not despised of her debauchery, but because of her hypocrisy."
Because of Ah Gil's current image Wu Zun's fans thinks she's not good enough to match him, they're also worried that after Wu Zun accepts this film, the focus on the news will be all fuzzy. Wu Zun's manager Chen Hui Ying yesterday says, not only expressing comments online, the company has also received many letters from fans or have called regarding the similar request, as for the criticism of Ah Gil, she says: "Everyone has the right to express their comments, really appreciate the support for Wu Zun, and we also respect all voices of expression."
As for the decision to resign from filming? She says, "We have been talking with this film for a long time, but until today we have still not made a decision, this is because lately the weather hasn't been good, the filming of "Hot Shot" has been delayed, so there could be a possibility of schedule conflict to not able to film."
Hong Kong producer of "Martial Arts Lovers" Xuan Jiazhen yesterday said he respects the suggestions from the fans, but hopes to have the fans to give them some time, so that we can find a solution that will be acceptable for everyone.
