How did their rift start?
It all started three years ago when the two were vying for a role in the international movie “Bounty Hunters” with Korean actor, Lee Min Ho. In the end, Tang Yan won the role. Later on, the two were fighting for another role in the movie “Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe.” The director ultimately selected Tang Yan for the role.
Starting from last year, it was rumored that Yang Mi’s favorability with the public was decreasing. It was rumored both actresses’ teams were fighting for them to climb to the first spot of the Hot Topic List on Weibo. It was said Yang Mi’s work studio was upset at some anti-fans badmouthing their boss. Yang Mi’s fans were sure it was Tang Yan who was bothering their idol.
Later on, a staff member from Tang Yan’s work studio reposted an essay on Weibo that was criticizing Yang Mi’s acting. This staff member claims his/her account was hacked, but no one really believed it. From then on, it was said Tang Yan and Yang Mi’s relationship started to crumble and no longer contacted each other.
