——I just went back and watched the video and trailer again, and I’m sure it’s the same video without a doubt.
——That video is so lifelike, especially Xia Weibao’s expression after injecting drugs, damn, that’s incredible! If that was an act, how otherworldly is her acting talent!
Just when everyone’s discussion was at its peak, Xu Jiayang made another post on Weibo, a long one.
Film Director Xu Jiayang V: "I am writing this article mainly to apologize to Xia Weibao @Xia Weibao V, and I want to say very solemnly, I’m sorry.
The dark-themed film ’Despair’ was made when I was at the lowest point in my directing career, while I was in a very gloomy mood, which was very suitable for doing this kind of oppressive work.
Due to various reasons, this film wasn’t shot for fame, but rather it was made for parents to watch, hoping that they would pay more attention to family education issues, so from the beginning, I aimed it towards being a school educational film.
The Education Bureau is very strict about educational films currently played in schools, as schools are where countless students gain knowledge, and they don’t allow any hype activities, so in order to prohibit using school educational films for publicity, there is a regulation that prohibits exposure during the review process.
Otherwise, once any information leaked, the qualification for review would be canceled.
Therefore, ’Despair’ was filmed secretly and submitted for review.
What I did not anticipate was that due to a moment of negligence, film fragments would leak, and even less so that the leaked footage would become a weapon to attack Xia Weibao!
After such a big incident, I thought Xia Weibao would clear her name by saying that the scandal was a clip from ’Despair’.
However, what I did not expect was that she would be so trustworthy, even if she was covered in filth, she clenched her teeth and never mentioned a word!
Now, ’Despair’ has finally passed the review and been released, restoring Xia Weibao’s innocence.
The apology I owed her, I can finally repay."
This long Weibo post hit the entertainment industry like a depth charge!
——What? It was actually a movie clip?
——Oh my god, is it really true? This is too big a blow.
——I just spoke with a professional, and indeed there is such a regulation, the review of school educational films is very strict, no publicity is allowed during the review period, exposure is prohibited, but whether ’Despair’ is an educational film, that’s unclear
——Upon verification, ’Despair’ has been scheduled as this year’s major educational film and will be broadcast in schools one month after its cinematic release
——Oh my god, it’s true! So how did this video leak out?
——How it leaked out is a secondary issue, what I really want to know is, if this video is just a movie clip, why did it become a scandal of Xia Weibao using drugs and having indiscriminate1 relationships?
——Yeah, because of that video, Xia Weibao was smeared so badly back then, only to tell everyone now that the video is fake!
——Actually, I’ve always been baffled as to how Xia Weibao was smeared that year, and it was a full-blown smear campaign online!
——I know, I know, three years ago Xia Weibao won the Best Actress of the Golden Flower Award, becoming the youngest in history, and the next day, this video was exposed, followed by the leak of explicit1 photos, and then artists who had worked with her one after another came forward, condemning her for being a diva, using stand-ins, photo editing, saying her acting was fake
——Right, right, I remember now, and then directors who had worked with her exposed that Xia Weibao would sleep for roles.
