Recently, the "on-stage incident" between Ren Jialun and Wang Junkai has caused a lot of controversy, not only sparking heated discussions online, but also causing quite a stir in offline circles. What was originally a relaxing event with a sports theme became more complicated due to the simultaneous attendance of two top stars.
It's understood that from the planning stages of this event, the organizers were very vague about the rankings, treatment, and other arrangements, seemingly trying to "have it both ways." This, in turn, sparked dissatisfaction and suspicion among fans of both sides. The presence of two top stars on the same stage naturally invites comparison—who gets more screen time, who gets more screen time, who gets more promotional placement—these details can become the focus. Now, as discussions continue to escalate both on-site and online, the organizers are caught in an awkward dilemma, seemingly forced to choose only one, further complicating the situation.
According to industry insiders, Ren Jialun's participation in the event wasn't motivated by a "traffic competition," but rather by his genuine love for the sport. He was quite active at the event, but unfortunately, public opinion spiraled out of control, leaving him feeling embroiled in controversy. Industry insiders speculate that after this incident, there will likely be no further opportunities for Ren Jialun and Wang Junkai to collaborate in the near future.
Currently, Ren Jialun's focus has returned to filming. He's currently intensively filming the new drama "Abyss Game." Reportedly, his upcoming costume drama "On the Phoenix Stage," starring Peng Xiaoran, is also slated for a November release, expected to generate significant publicity. With the controversy now over, audiences may be able to see him return to his acting career.
