From the controversy of "The Order of the Wind" to see the chaos of "double male protagonists" and the contract dilemma in the film and television industry
Recently, the costume detective drama "The Order of the Wind" has been caught in a whirlpool of public opinion due to the controversy over the "double male protagonist" setting. Producer Yu Zheng and Xu Kai's team have spoken out one after another, and the fan group has boycotted on a large scale. This storm not only reflects the trust crisis between actors and the drama party, but also exposes the deep-seated contradictions in the content creation and commercial operation of the film and television industry.
1. The separation between statements and reality: the core contradiction of the dispute
On May 15, Yu Zheng issued a statement, emphasizing that when Xu Kai signed the contract, the script and the filing announcement were both male-dominated detective dramas. The contract clearly stated that Xu Kai had a single announcement, and also warned that if the drama party arbitrarily changed it to double male protagonists, Xu Kai would refuse to perform. However, the content presented by the drama party at the investment promotion meeting on the same day was in sharp contrast to Yu Zheng's statement. The detective story with Shi Wuming played by Xu Kai as the absolute core in the filing version has become a two-hero detective framework that highlights the relationship between Xu Kai and the rumored male second Su Xuelou as the "son of the old enemy" in the investment promotion version, and Shi Wuming's core position has been greatly weakened.
The name of the drama "Listening to the Wind" is taken from the official title of the male second Su Xuelou, "Listening to the Wind Guard". This naming method is regarded by fans as a deliberate attempt to elevate the presence of the male second. Xu Kai's fans further pointed out that the male second role is suspected of integrating the original male third, male second and female protagonists, forming a "big male second" situation, which seriously violates the big male lead setting promised at the time of signing the contract. In addition, the drama party frequently released press releases for the two male protagonists during the publicity period, which is suspected to be to build momentum for Wei Zheming, who is rumored to play the male second. However, Xu Kai's team did not receive any promotional material notification before the investment promotion meeting, and was in a passive state throughout the process. This series of operations made fans question the drama party's contract fraud.
2. Fans' anger and boycott: collective action to protect the rights and interests of idols
Faced with the suspected breach of contract by the drama party, Xu Kai's fans quickly launched a large-scale boycott and reporting action. They accused the production team of "yin-yang script", that is, the surface filing is compliant, but the actual filming is trying to skirt the line of danchang. The fans' demands are very clear: first, change the name of the play back to "Tang An Wuming" which fits the original work; second, remove the role of Wei Zheming, the second male lead who
is rumored on the Internet; and third, ensure that Xu Kai's role accounts for more than 80%. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction through various channels, initiated topic discussions on social platforms, and reported to relevant departments, forming a powerful force of public opinion. The fans' anger is not without reason. In the film and television industry, the ranking and role setting of actors are directly related to the commercial value and development prospects of artists. For fans, supporting idols is not only an emotional investment, but also hopes that idols can obtain high-quality resources and suitable roles to achieve a steady rise in their careers. When the production team breaks its promise and destroys this balance, fans will naturally stand up to protect the rights and interests of idols, and at the same time, they are also protecting their expectations and investment in idols.
3. Industry chaos and interest disputes: the deep motivation behind the double male protagonists
The controversy over the "double male protagonists" of "Listening to the Wind" is not an isolated case. Behind it is the chaos of content creation in the film and television industry in recent years to cater to the market. The theme of gay dramas has become the "traffic code" of the film and television market with its unique audience and market potential. In order to gain higher attention and commercial benefits, some producers try to attract audiences by skirting the gay drama and creating a "double male lead" setting. Even when relevant policies strengthen supervision of gay dramas, some producers still try to circumvent censorship in various ways and walk on the edge of policies.
Judging from the adaptation of "Listening to the Wind Order", the original work "Tang An Wuming" is a single male lead detective story without an emotional line, and the protagonist Shi Wuming is the only core. However, after the adaptation, the drama party added common elements of double male leads such as "son of the enemy" and "power conspiracy puzzle", which obviously has the intention to cater to the market's heat. Director Cheng Zhichao once participated in the production of the gay drama "Shanhe Ling", and this background also intensified fans' doubts about the intentions of the drama party. In addition, Liehuo Pictures has long cooperated with Yu Zheng's company, and the interest binding relationship behind it has also made this dispute more complicated. The producers may hope to add more highlights to the series through the "double male lead" setting, attract more viewers, and thus maximize commercial interests, but this approach ignores the demands of the actors and fans, and ultimately causes conflicts.
4. The game between law and public opinion: the subsequent direction of the dispute
In this dispute, legal issues have become the key. If the drama party does not fulfill the contract and violates the promise of the male lead setting signed with Xu Kai, Xu Kai has the right to protect his rights by terminating the contract or claiming compensation. However, in actual operation, it is necessary to determine whether the drama party has breached the contract and the extent of the breach based on the specific content of the contract terms. This involves complex legal procedures and evidence collection, and it is not done overnight.
At the public opinion level, fans asked Yu Zheng and his team to take tougher measures, such as disclosing the complete contract to prove the drama party's breach of contract. But for Yu Zheng and Xu Kai's team, disclosing the contract may involve commercial secrets and other potential risks, so they cannot make a decision easily. The continued pressure of public opinion has also brought considerable challenges to the drama party and the actor team.
From a market perspective, the success of similar costume detective dramas such as "Tang Dynasty Weird Stories" shows that a single male lead narrative can also be recognized by the audience and achieve good ratings and reputation. Forcibly creating a "double male lead" setting may not only backfire, but also destroy the original narrative logic and role balance of the series. If the controversy over "The Listening Order" cannot be properly resolved, the possibility of shelving the project or recasting cannot be ruled out, which will be a huge loss for the drama, actors and investors.
The "double male lead" controversy of "The Listening Order" is a microcosm of many problems in the film and television industry. It reminds producers that while pursuing commercial interests, they should respect the rights and interests of actors and fans and abide by the spirit of the contract; it also prompts the industry to strengthen regulations and avoid falling into the dilemma of content homogeneity and disorderly competition. Only through joint efforts of all parties can the healthy and sustainable development of the film and television industry be promoted. #Hot Views# #ai Interest Creation Plan# #Yu Zheng Denies Xu Kai's Double Male Leads in "The Listening Order"# , come to Zhisou to see the relevant content.Yu Zheng denies Xu Kai is the male lead in The Untamed

Rebirth: I am a drama queen in yoc The original novels were all about male protagonists solving cases. The original novel was called Tang's Case Without Name, and the male protagonist was called Shi Wuming. As a result, the drama production team unilaterally changed the content to another drama that had nothing to do with the story, and also changed the title to something related to the male lead. If this isn't fraud, what is it? ?
Yu Zheng’s response to MangoTV’s synposis of "听风令" at their investment conference which outraged fans as it’s written for double male lead 👇
regarding our actor XK’s acceptance of the TV drama "听风令", the reply is as follows:
1. we decided to accept it after reading the script, which is exactly the same as the filing announcement, and it is a detective drama with a male lead
2. we signed the contract as the first single announcement, and there is no possibility of a double male lead
3. as for why the synopsis released today is completely different from the script and the filing announcement, we are not aware of it. if the script we receive in the future is also changed, or it is inconsistent with the contract, we will refuse to act in the project
that's it. please don't harass the artist and let him concentrate on filming. my company and i will always be his strongest backing. thank you!!!
The statement from kai's studio about the recent matter: "We have confirmed this many times before, and the replies we received were that there was no content related to this project at today's investment promotion meeting. We saw it online like everyone else, and were shocked by all the materials and content released today. We immediately had serious discussions with the production team, and we are still communicating with them at this moment". Just sue this fraud company and leave lol. How dare they deceive our kai kai like this
TV series "Listen to the Wind" 🥭 Investment introductionStarring: Xu KaiDirector: Cheng Zhichao#听风令#…
After so many trouble and misunderstandings this is what we got. The new name of the drama 听风令 is the name of the second male lead. This synopsis is totally different from the one which is registered. The main plot is centered around the main lead shi wuming but here it’s saying it’s a dual male lead drama. I know this is not the first time Xukai got betrayed but this one really hurts. I was really hoping it will be turn out nicely but at the end it’s also a disappointment. It’s really prove that xukai's team is the most useless out there. Please pull out from this nonsense. I don’t want him to get dragged from those crazy toxic bl fans. All the fans from weibo and x are boycotting this drama and many are also reporting it to the authority saying it’s a bl and the drama group had betrayed the artist.

The past few days WeiBo fans have been extremely embarrassing, dictating his script choices. It paints the image…
Is there any chance of this to announce tomorrow officially? Tomorrow is mango's investment conference and this one is also a S+ project so will they announce it? And yeah i know that the hot searches were managed from the other actor to gain the role. It’s a s+ project with a with first line 95s like kai so obviously they want this one badly. I just hope he Won't be here or else it will really leave a bad impression on the project.
The past few days WeiBo fans have been extremely embarrassing, dictating his script choices. It paints the image…
Some were even saying it’s a nano ip with many unsolved cases together but that's not true. The author is known for his creativity in this type of plots and even won international awards for that if i am not wrong. The novel has a strong male lead and the story revolves around him and the other male character's are all support characters.
The past few days WeiBo fans have been extremely embarrassing, dictating his script choices. It paints the image…
The fans were angry cause some marketing accounts were saying that this drama is a dual male lead drama with an actor who has almost no achievement ( You know the name) . Also the director is from word of honor so some fans were worried that it will be a bl. The last drama of this director was a big flop with so many traffic actors. So the fans were worried. As a fan i will be worried as well if the team he is working is not good enough for him and doesn’t value his worth. But the fans from weibo were too harsh with their perspective and started to dictates. Seeing those post i was really hurt. But i am glad that his team clarified all the misunderstandings. I just hope the rumoured person doesn’t act in it and someone younger plays the second male lead.
