Unmask the weeping crocodile named T.A.O.

 There is a phrase called crocodile tears. It means that crocodiles weep for the victims they are eating. Crocodiles shed tears while consuming their victims. It also means that some cruel people pretend to lament the moment they are conducting hurtful acts.

 Today, Wu Yifan was mentioned in an article about Tao. The article mentioned Wu Yifan several times from title to abstract and even to the content, which have become one of the most attention-getting topics in this interview. However, the content of this article is to whitewash all the miserable things Tao has done, including betraying brothers, putting on airs and his booty calls. What is the purpose of this article mentioning Wu Yifan? Does Tao’s attitude towards Wu Yifan really take a sharp turn? Let’s wait and see the direction in which this article’s comments go.

 First of all, what kind of benefits have this article brought to Tao?

1. Tao and his team have mentioned about Wu Yifan for several times in this article when Tao was having an interview to clarify his extremely negative news recently. That interview is ALL about Tao's confession to scandals, including his booty call, putting on air and bad manners. But unexpectedly the article and the interview set titles related to Wu Yifan. It's obvious that they want to guide public's attention from those negative news to Tao’s asking Wu Yifan for forgiveness. This is not about personal relationship and apologies at all. Wu Yifan is NOT anyone's tool to cover the facts. Unfortunately, people now are paying too much attention to Wu Yifan and Tao and no one really cares about Tao's negative news any more.

 TAO’s negative news

Pic Trans: 150804 @Sina Entertainment:【We are really popular】Staff of Tao’s team said, “we are very popular, everyone wants to have an interview with us!” After lots of twists and turns, including being late and makeup preparation, finally come to an agreement with the interview time. However, someone said he looked like Huang Bo (a very famous comedian in China and also a movie king). Tao was immediately unhappy and redo his hairstyle. When all the lights were in place, he just changed his idea and only can do the literal interview! In this rehearsal of a big channel, all the people just wait only one person. Let’s look at a weird interview. (The following link is the whole interview content.)

Wang Sicong(who is famous for the second-generation rich identity and dare to tell the truth in the world of entertainment) forward this Weibo and commented: so ugly as a horse. Doesn’t Huang Bo more handsome than you? I am not going to disclose your booty call affairs in the name of falling in love. Just a stupid.

 2. Tao has been widely criticized for his misbehavior and bad manners for a long time, including posting improper gestures to fans and offending working staff at the airport. Recently, more negative news about him have been exposed. Tao is not a three-year-old child any more, old enough to carry all the responsibilities. So it's not convincing at all to attribute his faults to being young and naive. What's more, some of Tao's words don't match with his deeds. If Tao is truly sorry for his rude words and behaviors towards Wu Yifan, why does he publicly put Wu Yifan under the pressure of the press? Shouldn't he leave personal problems to the private situation? If he really repents, why does he not contact Wu Yifan earlier but now at such sensitive time？ The press are talking about Tao's misbehavior while Tao and his team choose to avoid the major issues for the easy ones.

Crocodile tears cannot whitewash one's wrong deeds. It's coward to escape responsibility and drag someone else with you.

  3. Tao’s betraying Wu Yifan was not an impulsive act. The fact is that as early as in 2013 when SM breached the contract and forced Wu Yifan out of the team, Tao’s friend began spreading unreal rumors against Wu Yifan. Since then, Tao has been conducting acts against Wu Yifan’s interests. On Instagram and Weibo he criticized Wu Yifan several times and made fun of even cursed Wu Yifan’s health condition (see pics attached), which lead his fans to make up stories and intentionally misinterpret news to throw false accusations at Wu Yifan, ruin Wu Yifan’s reputation and hurt Wu Yifan personally. These are definitely not acts on impulse and are neither have anything to do with his personally feelings towards Wu Yifan. Tao continuously criticized Wu Yifan for several months until his leaving EXO made him groundless to give more judgments. In the interview, he intended to excuse himself by claiming his backstab “an impulsive act” and overlooked all the enormous harms he has caused. It is an absolutely irresponsible and an insincere apology.

   4. Tao left EXO so he has no stand to accuse Wu Yifan anymore. At the moment he tried to affect public opinion so to make ways for his future career. His account has nothing to do with apology, let alone its sincerity.

 5. Tao was wearing an exquisite makeup in the Sina interview, even crossed his legs. For his crying picture posted by Sina, he was crying for his own grievances. It has nothing to do with his regret or apology.  

What does today's incident mean to Wu Yifan?

 It's a second-time hurt and betrayal to him.

 First of all, publicly talk and report about the termination of the contract without Wu Yifan's awareness is against Wu Yifan and his team's consistent low-key attitude of settling the contract issue. Tao did not think about the following influence nor consider about the possibility that Wu Yifan will face a second-time discussion and blame. He put Wu Yifan back into public discussion and argument again, which is a severe interruption and disrespect to Wu Yifan's current work schedules.

 Secondly, all the topic and content of the interview is related to Wu Yifan. All the things Tao did, trying to save his image and attract public attention by mentioning someone else is a shameful behavior of being selfish and consuming other's popularity to benefit himself, which is very contemptible and despised.

 The more important thing is, after Tao coming back to China, he has all the time starting his own studio, attending TV programs, preparing his album, holding fan meetings, and having shooting and training. If he really feels sorry, why he didn’t apologize in such a long period? Instead, he only mentioned this when he was blamed by public for arrogance and promiscuity. It seems that even though Tao said this was the most regretful and important thing to him, he hasn’t thought of it for months. Moreover, it’s hard for people to believe he is ‘regretful’ while he showed an extremely happy image after leaving SM.

 As a result, it is very clear that he had this interview and gave the apology all of a sudden is just because he wanted to get away his bad image and pretend to be nice after being blamed by public.

 In the last, his fake apology in his interview may bring more blames and pressure to Wu Yifan. The fake apology doesn’t deserve forgiveness. In fact, Tao is hurting Wu Yifan again because his interview brings Wu Yifan blames from misled fans and involving Wu Yifan in troubles which have already ended.

 Someone who uses apologies and confessions as a tool to mislead public opinions, showing no respect or even care to Wu Yifan's attitude, does not deserve Wu Yifan or the public's forgiveness or any response.

A tearful crocodile does not deserve any compassion as it's just playing some poor little tricks before it eats someone.

It's not the key point if Wu Yifan will respond or forgive. It's his freedom and please respect his freedom.

Announcement

31 July 2015, the Korea SM Entertainment Co.,Ltd (SM Ent) released an “Announcement Letter”, censuring that Wu Yifan’s activities in China were against the contract and claiming SM Ent will file a lawsuit against Wu Yifan and the partners of Wu Yifan which invite him to participate in entertainment activities. On this issue, Wu Yifan Studio has been authorized by Wu Yifan to announce the following statement:

15 January 2008, Wu Yifan went to the foreign country alone and became a trainee of SM Ent to realize his dream of performance. After Wu Yifan signing the contract with SM Ent, his debut plan was put off by SM again and again in the period of training. After his debut in 2012, when Wu Yifan asked his manager why the part which he had practiced for more than ten days was canceled all of sudden in recording, he was forced to leave the team for several months by SM Ent, which was intended to block Wu Yifan’s entertainment career. Though Wu Yifan returned to the team as a result of multiparties negotiation, he had to continually suffer the unfair treatment, including cutting off and limiting his entertainment activities. After coming back, Wu Yifan’s health went wrong badly due to the depression brought by the discrimination of managers, the arrangement of longtime overwork, and the serious lack of rest. Since July 2013, Wu Yifan had been forced to depend on injections and transfusions to keep himself working until his body check result showed signs of myocarditis in January 2014. Under that situation, SM Ent still refused arranging a reasonable schedule for Wu Yifan to take the treatment and have a rest. At the same time, Sm Ent’s behaviours of unfairly distributing the revenue, restraining his development and lacking of planning of his future made Wu Yifan lose the confidence to let SM Ent represent his entertainment activities.

Due to the reasons above, Wu Yifan had to file a lawsuit to Seoul Central District Court on 15 May 2014, requiring the court to sentence his contract with SM Ent invalid. 14 May 2015, Seoul Central District Court issued the judgment (Compulsory Mediation Decision), confirming that SM Ent must hand over “the authority of entertainment agency and solely entertainment representative” in all areas except Korea to a third party. From our point of view, the above adjudication is fair and reasonable. However, after one year’s mediation, SM Ent brought the dispute of terminating the contract into the judicial procedure again claiming that they refuse to accept the mediation result. The behaviour is intended to procrastinate the terminating progress of Wu Yifan’s contract, and prevent Wu Yifan from arranging his own entertainment career activities and personal life.

From the very beginning to now on, Wu Yifan has always been grateful to SM Ent and all the people who had helped him in his career path. Wu Yifan has accepted the decision of Seoul Central District Court, and will continue to be willing to obey the reasonable judgment of the court in the future.

Also, Wu Yifan has hired a professional Chinese and Korean lawyer team to assist dealing with relevant legal affairs, and will carry on his entertainment activities in China as agreed in contracts. There will not be any further reply from Wu Yifan and Wu Yifan Studio on the dispute of terminating the contract between Wu Yifan and SM Ent until the lawsuit closes. All related affairs will be handed over to the lawyer to dispose.

Mr.Perfect is coming down to the Earth! Everybody, reach out your hands and catch him!

“To play a single nanny daddy is of course a challenge because I’m not up to that age.I want to try all sorts of characters in the future, a man of decency, a villain or a psycho.”

      Wu Yifan is so popular. His popularity is not revealed by the hysterical screamings from the fans but the proposal casting-lists in the hands of film companies big or small in which the leading actors of the Chinese films are covered in the coming two years.

    This young actor made his name in the battle among young actors to occupy the movie screens by making his film debut in Somewhere Only We Know. Having his schedule occupied Wu Yifan showed his forehead wearing slicked-back black hair and turned himself into a next-door boy, leaving the indifferent image behind.

    His hard work has been greeted with soaring popularity. Nevertheless, what is in great urgency to prove is his acting skills as well as the real box office appeal. After all, he is nothing but a shadowy Mr.Prefect before he has real representative work. A nearly perfect face is too possible to get replaced by younger ones.

    Nowadays, the word “idol” has devalued to nothing with most fans each having at least ten idols. And a girl at 16 may not have had a boyfriend yet but their idols hand in hand are possibly long enough to circling the Earth. The purchasing capacity of juveniles and pan-juveniles are not quite predicable. They may propel the Tiny Time of Yang Mi(a young Chinese actress) and Guo Jingming(a young Chinese writer and director) out of a sensation but they could also make My Kingdom, a film in which Han Geng and Wu Zun (two actors) starred, a total fiasco.

    Wu Yican cannot be luckier to come back when many young actors flopped in the campaigns cracking down on pornography and drugs, which is called a “good timing”; he came back from a neighboring country where pop-industry is highly developed, which is called a”favorable geographical location ”; at last, he is trying to build up people’s support which is also most important. He has fought his way through all the setbacks and it remains a critical point to stand his ground and not knocked out by the idols coming out later.

    Mr.Perfect is coming down to the Earth. Everybody reaches out your hand and catch him.

It’s kind of a challenge to play the role of a nanny Daddy.

Wanting to try the character of a psycho in the future.

    It means completion of the Adult Ceremony if the angle feels no embarrassment when seen eat,sleep and being imperfect after they descend to the Earth.

    Wu Yifan’s acting in the film Somewhere Only We Know is far from what people expect. Shadowed by the dreamy and romantic atmosphere, what he actually plays is a unwed father. Is it a challenge to play the role? Wu Yifan is a little mischievous :“To play a singer nanny daddy is of course a challenge because I’m not up to that age.I want to try all sorts of characters in the future, a man of decency, a villain or a psycho.”

It is a thorny shortcut to success for the handsome guys by putting on ugly make up to go beyond themselves. Wu Yifan said, ”I’m not just thinking about it, I’m saying that I have to”.

The acting skills of some good-looking actors like Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau, even Tony Leung, are recognized by the audience at least ten years after the beginning of their careers. Nicholas Tse only harvested some luck after he had his face pasted with scars in the film Bodyguards and Assassins. Wu Yifan said that those were seniors who he respected a lot. Despite what he said about not being troubled by being an idol, it is necessary to put on his own “scars” to show to people his other traits except beauty after being a idol for too long.

All these are easier said than done. As professionally trained singer, Wu Yifan is definitely going to feel acclimatized after coming back to China. The recording industry in the mainland China fell apart as early as ten years ago and singers release the albums to prop up the prices of their commercial performance. Wu Yifan started his career as a singer and it seems a little awkward because he is going to make a living by being an actor. He said he was not going to quit music and was also resolved to spend five years, ten years, fifteen years and even fifty years to work hard on films.

“I’m a man hallmarked with cold aspect. You may totally changed your views towards me after you know me well .” His past indifferent image is fading now. The director of Somewhere Only We Know, Xu Jinglei, said she found he was cutely stupid after she got acquainted with him.

As for the questions that were asked most often about his future plans, Wu Yifan said:”What’s most important is never forgetting why you start at the very first. And realize your dream by doing what you want to do steadfastly.”

Wu Yifan is fine just like now. He works healthily and goes his own way chosen by himself. He can do whatever he wants to do , be it singing or shooting films. And he gets paid for what he deserves.

South Korea is after all not the place where my family is.

Wu Yifan does have grievance.

    The company he worked in, SM , is a nightmare for young people who strive to become a star. They are overloaded with work and rewarded with much less than what they deserve. Hardships are untold. Myriad of young people become trainees after succeeding in auditions. After unpredictable years of training, they may start their career as they wish. And still many of them will end up being a dancer serving as the backdrop of others.

“I took part-time jobs in various restaurants and sometimes shooting photos as part-time models before the audition.” Born in Guangzhou, Wu Yifan immigrated to Canada with his mother when he was ten years old. He studied at a junior high school in Guangzhou for half a year and then came back to Canada again. “I don’t have many friends because we were likely to lose touch after I changed my place.” At that time, what was the most glorious for him was participating in the national CBA basketball competition for juniors.”The girls in the same school would come to watch,hahaha.”

“South Korea is after all not the place where my family is.” Wu Yifan said:”the physical pain could be overcome. However, I left home with no families around me and I didn’t speak their language. Besides, I didn’t know when I was gonna start my career. I would miss families and feel lonely.”

Wu Yifan have to smash the aura of the past and shoulder responsibility for himself as an individual, not as screw in a machine, although safe but tiresome and boring. His leaving created much sensation. The fans haunted by slogans such as “team soul”,”team spirit” and “never falling apart” have tremendous difficulties to digest the fact that Wu Yifan was leaving. Consequently, the news was pushed to the extreme which the public could accept.

Nevertheless, Wu Yifan is fine just like now.He works healthily and goes his own way chosen by himself. He can do whatever he wants to do , be it singing or shooting films. And he gets paid for what he deserves.

Why Wu Yifan?

I’m not counting on him to help me earn 500 million.

The average age of the four leading actors and actresses of the film Somewhere Only We Know, Wu Yifan, Wang Likun, Zhang Chao and Re Yizha, is 26. You can tell a people young or not by asking if they have ever heard of the names of the four people.

During the shooting days, director Xu Jinglei organized all kinds of activities like making dumplings, playing billiards and going to nightclubs. “We even drunk too much several times.” They would make dinner together. And she said:”Zhazha(Re Yizha) is the one most adept at cooking while Wu Yifan was a troublemaker. He looks cool but sometimes he is really funny and cutely stupid.”

Thanks to the lovely stupid Wu Yifan, the film Somewhere Only We Know has attracted much attention. This young and handsome actor dropping out of the South Korean boy group EXO enjoys super high popularity among the young people. As for his box office appeal, it is to be proved after the film is released.

Xu Jinglei is the first to “eat crabs”. No one heard of Wu Yifan when she introduced him, a big boy born in 1990, to the investors of the film. And they were also skeptical about her choice of other three leading roles.”You know the investors are kind of old. They were assured a little knowing I would also star in the film.”

“To say nothing about others, I myself was waiting and seeing.” Xu Jinglei said.”My expectation is not to lose money. I choose Wu Yifan not because he has lots of fans and I’m not shooting a film exclusively for his fans to watch. I choose him because I think he’s really outstanding. I will try my best to help him but at the same time I’m not counting him to help earn 500 million.”

“What’s more, the role he plays is not like that in the idol drama.” Wu Yifan played as a single father in the film. It is hard to accept for many young girls who like him.

“You expect a new actor to perform like Tony Leung?” Xu Jinglei laughed, “I think whoever thinks that way is definitely thinking too much.”

Inclusive interview of Wu Yifan from F

The happiness and sorrows of the “post-90s gentleman”

  At the end of 2014, the editor of the F made an inclusive interview about Wu Yifan before the opening ceremony of the Givenchy concept store in ChengDu.

  He is not that bad at communication as I’ve imagined (as for this question, he said that maybe I hadn’t pay enough attention to him. Yes, that’s possible). He loves fashion and is a good talker in both Chinese and English when it comes to his favorite Givenchy apparel and Jordan sneakers.

  He is really of a hip-pop style off stage. However he can easily become a definite gentleman after dressing up (a post-90s gentleman, it’s kind of hard to imagine but he really is). He is rather mature in social occasions. He greeted fans waiting for him for a long time from the second floor; he posted a new message on Ins after the ceremony concluded; in the exactly same room where he took the interview, he changed into Galaxy_fanfan, a hip-hop boy in Jordan. All these looked so natural.

  Well, these are some first impressions. As for the detailed conversation, please continue reading:

  F : Today we have Wu Yifan here with us. Please say hello to the netizens of Fshion Ifeng .

Wu Yifan: Hello, I’m Wu Yifan.

  My favorite style is Hip-hop.

F: So you’re here today for the opening ceremony of Givenchy concept shop in ChengDu?

W: Yes. It’s really a honor to be invited to the opening ceremony of the second Givenchy concept shop globally. And I’m really look forward to it.

F: What do you think of the fashion style of Givenchy?

W: I think it is edgy, stylish and at the same time, classic.

F: You’re a fan of this style?

W: Yeah, sure. Givenchy is one of my favorite brands. (The well-known fashionista Li Hui told me that fanfan is really a huge fan of Givenchy. He was already a VIP of the shop when in South Korea. )

F: You didn’t wear Givenchy quite often, right?

W: Yes, I was in Givenchy in numerous occasions. Maybe you hadn’t notice that. I wear them a lot. (Later some fans sent me many pics in which fanfan was in Givenchy. It’s really quite often. True love recognized.)

F: What kind of style do you think suits you most?

W: Actually, my best-loved style is Hip-hop. In the past several years, Hip-hop is kind of being combined with the trend including some high-end brands. Givenchy this season also has some hip-hop style in it. In some way, I like it because it is easy to match outfits.

F: Do you have any piece that you love in particular?

W: Yes, like the flower-printed T-shirts coming out this season. I really love it. You can just  go out in a black-and-white Tee .

  Today’s outfit is tuxedo. Yeah, no tail.

F: Would you please give a introduction of the highlights of this fashion styling?

W: The outfit for today is a tuxedo of fall and winter 2014. Yeah, no tail. And the white shirt, I think the detailed design of the collar is really good. And the whole outfit give a impression of gentleman.

F: I’ve noticed that you’ve tried more leather garments and pants. Do you give your own opinions?

W: Yes. I often give my own opinions because I’m really interested in fashion and usually choose outfits after combining my suggestions with others’.

F: The earrings you’re wearing today is very special. You pick that by yourself?

W: I wear them usually.

  Peng Zeyang is a new-money? Yes, new money. You can’t do anything about it.

F: You joined director Xu Jinglei in her new film Somewhere Only We Know. Please give us an introduction about the character Peng Zeyang.

W: This young man is quite complicated. He is Chinese kid growing up in the west and is raised in a family that is also complicated. And he studies music, to be more specific, he is a violoncellist. And... eh, I can’t reveal too many details. I think we do have much in common but at the same time there are also some challenges. And that’s this kind of the character that attracts me and nudges me to do the role well.

F: Why does everyone call him a new money?

W: (Laughing) new money. Because he is actually, eh, yeah, new money. You can’t do anything about it.

F: So still, you can’t give us more details?

W: Yeah. I need to keep it to myself now. He is just a (secretly) new money... (Could any MeiGeNi who knows the reason tell me? And also the story about “little fatty”... )

F: Are there any impressive scenes in the film? I know that your fans made a GIF of the scene that you held Wang Likun (the leading actress) on the shoulder.

W: Yes. It’s quite impressive. I needed to hold her up on the shoulder and walked down the stairs. It is dangerous if I fall down. Actually I really enjoy the time in Prague. It is my first film shooting experience and it’s impressive.

  Plans about music? Not gonna to keep you waiting for long.

F: So you are gonna to shoot the film Fading Wave ? And there is cooperation with Li Yifeng (a Chinese actor)?

W: Yes. We are gonna shoot the film together.

F: What do you think of him?

W: He’s good, of course.

F: As for music, you’ve sung the theme song Somewhere. You composed it yourself?

W: Yes, I did it with my friends together.

F: Do you have any plans about music in he future? Like a album?

W: Yeah, definitely. I know my fans are looking forward to it. And the specific dates are not sure but I have the plan. I’m not gonna let you wait for long.

    Being a celebrity usually loses something of life? You cannot always get everything you want. Do you reject the mentioning of your previous experiences in Korea? Not at all, I am grateful for it. F: I know you were born in 1990. Wu: Oh, yes. F: Actually you are less than one year elder than me.  Wu: You are younger than me? Wow… F: Did you grow up in Canada since you were born? Wu: No, I moved to Canada at the age of 10. F: Then you went to Korea from Canada. 7 years in Korea? Wu: Right, nearly 7 years. F: Afterwards, you returned to China. I think you have more life experience than people of your ages. You must have learned a lot from those experiences. But did you also lose anything? Wu: Sure. You can’t always get everything you want. For me, due to lots of travel, it is hard for me to maintain friendship with numerous people. When I moved to another place, I usually lost contact with my old friends since back then smart phones were not available. So I only have several really close friends.  F: When you were in Korea and now in China, you have become so popular and have large number of fans. People are always paying attention to you. Your privacy must be violated to some degree. Are you disturbed? What do you think of it?  Wu: I think it is inevitable as a celebrity. I am thankful for my fans and all the friends who support me.  F: Your fans are called Nini?  Wu: (Laugh out) Yes, because I said “I like everyone of you (ni in Chinese)”. F: I see. You debuted as a member of a Korean group and then became a young idol in China when returning home. Your leaving the group has been a heatedly discussed topic. Do you reject the mentioning of your previous experiences in Korea?  Wu: No at all. F: Or you actually are grateful for it (experiences in Korea)? Wu: Yes, I am grateful for it. I surely don’t reject it. I feel thankful for everyone who helped me. And at all stages of life, you will receive help from others. So you should be grateful.  I didn’t measure the length of my legs and I wear shoes in pretty big size—46. F: You love playing basketball right?   Wu: (Laugh out) Yeah! F: You have a height of 187 cm. Did you ever measure the length of your legs? Wu: No, really I didn’t. (It was such a shame that the editor didn’t take a ruler.) F: Can you tell us the size your shoes? Wu: I wear shoes in pretty big size—46. F: It must be hard to find shoes of this size. Wu: Indeed. Sometimes I need to look for shoes on line. (He said secretly.)  F: You are fond of Jordan shoes right? Wu: Jordan, yeah! (Later after the activity he changed to Jordan shoes. The pic on Ins can prove that.) F: I interviewed Re Yizha (An actress in Somewhere Only We Know). She said in life you are more hip-hop style. So do you have other habits, say, musical instruments?  Wu: About instruments, I learned Saxophone as a kid. And I love skiing, very very much. Actually I pretty like all in sports and also dance. 

I like the kind of girl that like an angle.

F: The last question. I can imagine that your fans are eager to know what’s your ideal type girl?

W: I like the kind of girl who’s pure, innocent like an angle. And I will pay more attention to the inner heart. The girls who are kind-hearted, considerate and filial.

F:So you are still waiting for her?

Wu: Yeah, sure~
