A well-known marketing account made a post that focused on discussing the awards from last night's Golden Ying ceremony.
In the end, it mentioned the scandal from four years ago when Xu Jiayang was accused of drugging and raping a female artist, forcing a relationship on her.
It dragged that dirty incident, which had already been forgotten, back into the light.
"The Golden Ying Award is an affirmation of the film industry, filled with positive energy. Do we really think someone like Xu Jiayang deserves recognition? In the arts, morality comes first. If such a despicable person can become the Best Director at the Golden Ying, I don't know what the meaning of this award is anymore..."
While the post affirmed other awards as fair and just, it ended with such harsh criticism of the Best Director award, instantly pushing Xu Jiayang into the eye of the storm.
