Chinese TV Industry's Toxic Work Culture: The Tragic Passing of Actor Godfrey Gao

[Polaris_Tae]

 

Detailed explanation ab the toxic culture of Chinese entertainment, specific focus on Godfrey Gao

She goes over the contract that the actors have to sign prior to filming the show:

The competition/performance of this program has very fierce competition, may cause the participant (actor) physical and psychological burden. Participants need to have ample understanding of this. Fully, self-willingly take part and fully self-willingly take any possible outcomes. The participants need to obey the production company (zhejiang tv) program management, arrive to shooting on time, follow the rules on set...


So basically, if you die in this, it's your own damn fault.
This is so horrible. I hope his family sues them...

I hope they cancel the show. But in their statement they weren't clear about what are they going to do, they are shameless. If they don't cancel it I hope the companies do not send their artists there anymore.

Knowing how mafia like can be there I don't know if his family can do anything about it. I wish they could see justice this is so tragic and meaningless.

Apparently he was left unattended to after he collapsed for ab 4 to 7-ish minutes, even if they do cancel it, who's to say that another show just as bad won't appear in its place after they axe this one...

It's just tragic that this happened, and I hope his family can get some kind of compensation...
