At 9:28 a.m. on November 27, Jiang Qinqin, the star of "The Housewife", published a long article to help clarify the TV series in response to the controversy caused by the scene of the pastoral cat being poisoned in episode 32 of the TV series, and attached the official clarification video of the TV series.
Jiang Qinqin's text is very long, the content emphasizes that she did not shirk her responsibility, nor is it an escape, she knew the situation and contacted the crew for the first time to inquire about the situation, the crew replied that it did not hurt the cat, it was very good and very healthy.
Let's briefly review the controversy caused by this scene. This content appears in episode 32 of "Being a Housewife", in which Grandma Huang is training the girls' manners, and the kitten who climbs on the table to eat pastries suddenly falls to the ground and dies without struggling a few times, and then blood flows from the corner of the mouth, which is very realistic.
Because the struggle from falling off the high table to lying on the ground is too realistic, and it is a shot completed, there is no editing in the middle, and the head hits the ground, the state of convulsions is very real, which has aroused questions and discussions among netizens.
Many netizens ran to Yu Zheng's social platform to comment and asked, "It won't be a fake drama, right?" Some netizens directly wrote down "Will not really kill a cat because of the pursuit of truth?" ”
There are also many netizens on the bullet screen who questioned and shouted that the producer came out to explain.
Seeing that the controversy gradually fermented, on the morning of November 26, Yu Zheng and the producer responded to the matter, saying that the scene was filmed under the guidance of professionals and the care of the kitten owner, and under the condition of ensuring the safety of the kitten, and the blood on the kitten's mouth was edible plasma + syrup. As for the kitten's convulsions, it is the use of a rope to pull the legs, imitating the effect of struggle, while the practical effect of being motionless when dying is represented by a static screenshot in the dynamic picture.
However, this response did not reassure netizens, and people kept shouting for videos released to prove that kittens were safe and healthy.
In order to calm the doubts of netizens, the production staff released a video again on the afternoon of November 26, they found the owner of the kitten, the owner said that the kitten is very healthy, has given birth to a litter of kittens, but these two days were not at home, went out to play did not come back. Originally, the evidence was relatively sufficient, but there are still a large number of netizens who do not forgive.
The most liked comment below reads, "The cat's eyes are yellow in the video, and the one who is filming is blue." "If you compare it, you will find that the cat in the TV series is indeed blue-eyed, while the eyeball taken by the owner of the kitten has a large difference in color and does not look like the same one."
There are also four requests from netizens below, proposing that the film side gives the tidbits of shooting at that time, the tidbits of pulling the cat's hind legs with a rope, the tidbits of standing up, and the tidbits containing the staff. However, as of press time, Jiang Qinqin instead sent an article to clarify for the producer, and the drama party did not send any tidbits.
So back to this time Jiang Qinqin's article, the words between the lines are more like skimming themselves, rather than clarifying for the drama side.
On the one hand, Jiang Qinqin repeatedly stressed in the text that she did not know, and she was not at the scene at that time. On the other hand, Jiang Qinqin repeatedly emphasized in the text that "I know as much as everyone sees" and "contact the crew to ask about the situation", which is used to indicate that the information he got also comes from the production party's reply, so that even if the poisoned kitten is actually confirmed in the future, it has nothing to do with her.
In addition, it is worth playing that Jiang Qinqin's clarification this time has provided netizens with a new idea.
On the one hand, the shooting scene is not that there are no actors, but there is no starring role, in fact, the scene of Huang Mama and those trained girls must be more aware of the situation at that time, because they are the scene witnesses, witnessed the whole process.
Moreover, back to the first clarification of the producer, the article wrote that "the kitten in the video is called 'Mimi', which is a native of Hengdian. Lovely and professional. It is the group favorite of the cat lovers of the entire film crew. This shows that there are actors and crew members who love cats in the crew, and since the cat owner found cannot calm the suspicions of netizens, why not let the actors and staff who understand the situation or the actors and staff on the scene help clarify it? Instead, let Jiang Qinqin, who was not at the scene, speak up?
On the other hand, according to Jiang Qinqin, it is true that there were no main actors on the scene at that time, but not all of them were group performances whose names were not known to the audience.
Playing Huang Mama is a well-known actor Yan Qin, she graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, in addition to this "Housewife", this year there are also "Emergency Public Relations", "JinXin Jade", "Dear Parents" three dramas have participated, as a witness, she did not participate in this controversy.
Another actor is Zhang Yixi, who plays Cao Qiniang in the play, although he is not a starring actor, but there are not many scenes in supporting roles. She and Yan Qin both have social platforms, but they have not spoken out about this controversy. According to normal logic, being accused of mutilating animals by netizens is not a trivial matter, since they can find the owner of the original kitten through twists and turns, why can't they send out tidbits and ask the on-site actors to help clarify it?
The doubts about the crew's cruelty to kittens also spread to Douban, as of press time, the Douban score of "Being the Housewife" fell to 3.6, and as many as 58.2% of netizens scored a one-star bad review, and the homepage hot reviews were all one-star, and the content was accusing the producer of mutilating kittens.
Bringing such a big impact, the producer should really take it seriously, in the end it is impossible to come up with tidbits, the actors are unwilling to speak out for this, or is there another possibility? We will continue to monitor the progress of the incident, what do you think is the truth?
