Actor Says Sole Investor Harassed Him on Set of His Breakthrough Drama

Chinese short-drama actor Zhong Yufei says a production billed as his big break became a distressing experience after he was allegedly harassed by his co-star, who was also the project’s sole investor. The production’s reported premise included the investor appearing opposite him and kissing him more than 60 times.

Daily Weird News Report

A Chinese actor says the production that was meant to launch his career instead became what he described as a nightmare on set, after his co-star allegedly harassed him during filming. Zhong Yufei, a 23-year-old short-drama actor, discussed the experience on social media, according to Oddity Central. The report identifies his co-star as the project’s sole investor, creating an unusual overlap between the person financing the production and the performer appearing opposite him. The production was reportedly backed by a wealthy woman who wanted to star in the drama herself. According to the report’s headline, her role included kissing Zhong’s character more than 60 times. Zhong’s account characterizes the conduct as alleged harassment, but the supplied report does not provide further details about the specific incidents, the production’s title, or any response from the co-star or investors. The available reporting therefore establishes only Zhong’s public account and the unusual financing arrangement described by Oddity Central; it does not independently confirm his allegations.
