Too many scandals have shocked C-ent this 2021 and it looks like a massive overhaul is underway. In recent days, there has been a clamp down on toxic fan wars and a move to cancel survival reality shows. Before that, celebrities Kris Wu and Zhang Zhehan were blacklisted in China after their respective scandals.
It can be remembered that Zheng Shuang was caught in a surrogacy scandal early this year after her ex Zhang Heng repeatedly hurled accusations against her online to reveal voice recordings and chat records. The former couple are still caught in a he-said, she-said as he also accused her of engaging in yin yang contracts and tax evasion.
Zheng Heng Muted and Zheng Shuang’s Past Works Taken Down
On August 26, netizens noticed that Zhang Heng’s Weibo account has been temporarily muted on the grounds of violating community rules. Subsequently, Zheng Shuang’s Weibo SuperTopic, which is an online space for fans to gather and talk about their idol, has been shut down. Although she’s starred in many dramas, a search for her name on Chinese video platforms will no longer return the specific project. Her name was only previously removed from the cast list of Love O2O, her hit drama with Yang Yang, though the entire series was eventually taken down. Other dramas also removed include Rush to the Dead Summer and Sword of Legends. Sword of Legends, in particular, features the ensemble cast of Yang Mi, Li Yifeng, William Chan, Dilireba, Ma Tianyu with Zheng Shuang also in a supporting role. Unlike other celebrities who saw their social media presence removed, Zheng Shuang and her studio’s Weibo accounts still remain as of the writing of this post.
Huo Zun Muted and His Weibo SuperTopic Shut Down
Meanwhile, singer Huo Zun was recently also in a scandal due following accusations made by his ex-girlfriend. He withdrew from the industry while denying the accusations and has been caught in a he-said, she-said online. His Weibo account has now been temporarily muted and his Weibo SuperTopic also shut down.

Suck it up. Love O2O the reason why so many greedy pay-to-win MMORPGs came out of China.

CCP mind as well take everything out. Are they trying to cancel the past as well and the present.

I don’t mind that the government is “cleaning/punishing” some people if they deserve it, but taking down films/dramas/projects that involved so many other people’s hard work is unfair. I’m sure there is other ways they can handle those “bad guys/gals”.
There are good projects that we like to watch/enjoy not just for that one person!

And this is how Chinese ent differs from the rest of the world. Government censorship has a huge impact on artist work and their availability. Not saying it’s a good or bad thing, just wondering what this would mean for the future of C-ent on a global scale. Other countries also have some form of censorship, either overtly or covertly, but China takes it to the next level…smh. At the end of the day, despite its recently developed wealth and economic prosperity, it’s still a Communist country after all.
