On April 4, a video was circulating of a bunch of people that were squatting outside of Xiao Zhan’s (肖战) hotel room where he is staying to film his new drama, “Yu Gu Yao”. They were blocking Xiao Zhan and his staff from entering his hotel room. These people were still sticking their phones to Xiao Zhan and his staff’s faces to film him while his staff were trying to get inside the room. At one point, Xiao Zhan puts his hoodie on to cover people from filming him. Staff members are trying to block them off from inching closer with one person constantly telling them to stop coming closer.
Early morning on April 5, Xiao Zhan issued a post addressing the events that went on the previous night. He wrote, “Already mentioned this in 2016. Hope to only meet each other at officially publicized occasions. Please don’t follow the cast, don’t follow cars, and don’t follow the flights anymore. It’s extremely dangerous to chase cars or intentionally slow down to block our car on the highway! Don’t knock on my door in the middle night, climb on my door to eavesdrop, and especially don’t crowd at the hotel. There was even a situation yesterday where someone intentionally input the wrong password several times that caused the hotel’s floor area password lock not to open. I had no way of returning to the room to rest. This severely impacts my work in the filming crew. I hope everyone will return to their lives and be your best.”

This wouldn’t be the first time something crazy like this happened. Since “The Untamed”, Xiao Zhan’s popularity grew exponentially, but so did the rabid fans and substitute photographers that are trying to make money off of selling his pictures and videos by camping out by his hotel. He has experienced being stuck in a revolving door, running away from fans, being crowded at the airport, etc. While some people say these were sasaeng fans and substitute photographers (daipai), some fans suspect there were some people there to deliberately cause trouble.
Can these people just stop bothering him? Just go do your own work or find something to do instead of ruining someone’s life. Just because they are celebrities doesn’t mean they aren’t persons with hard work. They really need to work hard during shooting to make an amazing drama/movie. There are always fanmeets where every celebs meet the fans, you know. You can go there and meet them if you really want to show your appreciation for them. They have work to do, they can’t think about you all the whole day. Stop bothering him.
Gosh these damn crazy lunatics. Poor Xiao Zhang.
Holy crap people! Leave him alone! Leave all the celebrities alone & find something better to occupy your time. Don’t you feel ashamed for being such an inconvenience? This is someone’s life you’re f*cking with. Staff, crew & even Xiao Zhan himself should start filming all his squatters. Put those cameras in their faces & see if they like it.
Unfortunately for Xiao Zhan …. I hope he can also survive his problem in this matter … Xiao Zhan is really kind
