"Shanghai Fortress" director Teng Huatao bluntly said that he used Lu Han incorrectly, which caused controversy. Wang Xiaofei supported him.

"Shanghai Fortress" finally achieved a box office of 120 million yuan, but failed to recoup even one-third of its cost. This movie has undoubtedly become a hot topic among netizens. Before the movie was released, many people promoted Lu Han, but they did not expect the box office to be so bad. For a traffic artist, this is undoubtedly fatal. Lu Han originally wanted to transform himself with this drama, but now it seems that he needs to work harder.

There are many reasons for the poor box office performance of the film. Netizens have mixed comments. Among the 100,000 people who gave it one star, some said it was a problem with the plot itself, some said it was a problem with the actors, and some said it was a problem with the production. Facing all the criticisms, Teng Huatao responded twice. The first time he publicly apologized on Weibo, and the second time he accepted an interview. Unexpectedly, it was this interview, with the phrase "using Lu Han wrongly" that pushed him to the forefront of public opinion again.

After his interview was made public, he said, "I used Lu Han wrongly, in a genre that doesn't suit him." Many people thought that he was shifting the blame, putting the blame for the poor box office on Lu Han. Later, Louis Koo and Xiang Tai responded publicly to support Lu Han, and Louis Koo even angrily criticized Teng Huatao for not having the qualities of a director.

After Xiang Zuo responded, Teng Huatao's good friend Chen Lizhi spoke up for him, saying that what he said "used Lu Han wrongly" and "used Lu Han incorrectly" had completely different meanings, with the order being different but the meanings being similar, and that Teng Huatao did not shirk responsibility.

Now, another good friend of Teng Huatao in the industry, Wang Xiaofei, has also posted a message to support him. He said, "I have known Taotao for more than ten years. His personality and attitude towards friends are definitely not the kind of person who would shirk responsibility. If you read the interview, you will know that his intention is that Lu Han is a good artist, but the director did not bring out his potential and did not give him a suitable role, so he used him wrongly. There is indeed a grammatical problem here. If he said that I used Lu Han wrongly, this is a very different interpretation."

Wang Xiaofei and Teng Huatao have been friends for more than ten years. His point of view is the same as Chen Lizhi's. They both believe that using Lu Han wrongly and using Lu Han wrongly are completely different things. They also pointed out that Teng Huatao is definitely not someone who would pass the buck.

Wang Xiaofei stood up to respond at this time, which shows that he is very loyal, but standing up and getting involved in this mess will only make things more complicated.

Whether it is "Lu Han was used wrongly" or "Lu Han was used incorrectly", it both illustrate a problem, that is, everyone says Lu Han is not suitable for this role, then why didn't they position him well before taking the role? Now saying that Lu Han is not suitable for sci-fi films, even if they are not shifting the blame, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Moreover, in the initial show, Teng Huatao said that Lu Han was suitable for this role, but now he has changed his words and said that he is not suitable. This inconsistency is incomprehensible.

In fact, at the center of the storm, Teng Huatao should have been more low-key, learned from this failure and made a good movie to win back his reputation, instead of responding here again and again, and finally blaming netizens for quibbling. Teng Huatao's friends don't need to stand up and support him, as netizens know it clearly in their hearts. The most innocent person now is Lu Han. He is responsible for the poor box office, but he must feel uncomfortable when being talked about like this.
