LayarHijau.com—Today, Li Mingde, Ma Tianyu, and the crew of the drama "The Triple Echo of Time" trended on Weibo.
Li Mingde accused Ma Tianyu of being unprofessional during the filming, claiming he arrived late and did not fulfill his responsibilities properly. The actor also suggested that the drama team was protecting Ma Tianyu's unprofessional behavior.
After trending at the top of Weibo's hot search, the drama team, Ma Tianyu, and his studio released statements.
Ma Tianyu had previously written a personal post on his Weibo account, which he later deleted. In that post, he stated, "I hope everyone can pay more attention to and care for patients with depression and bipolar disorder~🫂."
This writing sparked outrage among many netizens in China, as Ma Tianyu was perceived to be mocking Li Mingde as a man suffering from depression and bipolar disorder. This was seen as an indirect belittlement of the serious issues of bipolar disorder and depression.
After the post was deleted, the actor shared a photo of his studio's statement. They emphasized that Ma Tianyu had always shown sincere hopes for collaboration and adhered to all arrangements during the production process. Ma Tianyu consistently arrived on time and never made other actors wait.
When other actors left the location without reason on January 2 and 3, Ma Tianyu remained patient. The statement also claimed that the circulating information about Ma Tianyu was false and had tarnished his reputation.
Ma Tianyu's studio asserted that they would not remain silent in the face of false statements and attacks against their actor. They reserve the right to take legal action against anyone spreading false information online.
Meanwhile, the crew of "The Triple Echo of Time" also provided their version of the situation in a lengthy post.
They stated that after signing the contract, Li Mingde did not attend the makeup and script reading meetings and left the location without a clear reason. This behavior resulted in delays in filming and damage to hotel property, which was deemed a breach of contract. As a result, the crew decided to terminate their collaboration with Li Mingde on January 4, 2025.
The crew also responded to Li Mingde's statements regarding other actors, which they considered false, asserting that all actors had adhered to the agreed-upon schedule. They emphasized their commitment to not tolerating violations of morality and trust within the industry.
