The controversy has centered around the recent Lunar New Year blockbuster "The Bravest," which has faced challenges in scheduling and has been targeted by malicious reviews.

Yu Dong Defends 'Jiaolong Action' Amidst Backlash and Controversy

In a bold move, Yu Dong, the producer of the film "The Jiaolong Action," has come out swinging in defense of his movie. Amidst a barrage of negative reviews on the popular Chinese review platform, Douban, Yu Dong took to social media to express his frustration and disappointment. He alleged that the negative reviews were not genuine, but rather the result of organized "blackening" by rival fan groups. This phenomenon, where fans of other movies or celebrities intentionally leave negative reviews to bring down the ratings of a competing film, is not new to Yu Dong. He claimed that his previous film, "The Nameless," suffered from a similar fate, with tens of thousands of one-star reviews on its opening day.
