Chinese male star Xiao Zhan, who stars in the New Year film 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero', has faced a barrage of negative reviews, with an online rating of only 5.5, making it the lowest among all New Year films. The poor word of mouth has significantly dragged down the box office, with initial predictions exceeding 1.1 billion RMB (approximately 670 million MYR), now shrinking to 670 million RMB (about 400 million MYR).
Recently, Xiao Zhan participated in a campaign held in Wuhan to try to regain ground. However, his use of a chartered plane to attend the event sparked a heated debate, with critics calling the behavior extravagant. He later explained that the production team required him to arrive on the same day, but regular flight schedules did not align, so the production arranged for a chartered plane, and it was not at the actor's request. He vowed to hold malicious rumor-mongers accountable.
On the day of the campaign, portraying the protagonist 'Guo Jing,' he was very enthusiastic and even made a heart gesture with 'Ouyang Feng' Leung Ka-Fai, his arch-enemy in the film, which was very adorable.
