Taiwanese actor Darren Wang is reportedly displeased that Our Times director Frankie Chen is interested in signing Taiwanese singer-actress Yao Yao to her company.
Darren rose to fame through the movie Our Times, which was directed by Frankie. After the movie gained popularity worldwide, Darren left his previous company
to join Frankie’s Spring Thunder Entertainment, in a bid to expand into
the Chinese market. At that time, Frankie was said to have promised
Darren that she will “focus on developing only him.”
However,
Spring Thunder Entertainment is said to have reached out to Yao Yao
recently with the intention to sign her. The company also invited her to
work together with them for its upcoming movie.
As a result,
Darren is said to be displeased as he feels that he has been fooled by
the company’s false promises. Additionally, Darren’s personal manager is
said to have helped in the preparations for Yao Yao’s new book, adding
fuel to the fire.
However, when asked to comment on the matter,
Darren said through his manager, “There’s nothing that I’m unhappy with.
Right now, I’m concentrating on filming.” The actor is currently
filming in Hebei, China for his new project.
Workers at Spring
Thunder Entertainment have confirmed that they did have a discussion
with Yao Yao regarding their collaboration for the upcoming movie.
However, they denied that Frankie once told Darren that she will only
focus on him, and emphasised that Darren and Yao Yao are from different
companies.
Yao Yao’s management company also expressed that they
were kept in the dark regarding Yao Yao’s discussions with Spring
Thunder Entertainment. However, they confirmed that everything is still
proceeding as per normal on their side.
