In response to rumours that Yan Xujia, who plays a young Mao Zedong in the film, cheated on his girlfriend, some lashed out at Tencent Pictures, the main producer

But a few months before the film’s release on July 1st, reports appeared on entertainment news sites that Mr Yan had cheated on a girlfriend. He denied this, but disbelieving internet users said he was unfit to play a character as important and upstanding as Mao. Some directed their ire at the main producer of “1921”: Tencent Pictures, a production house owned by a privately run social-media and gaming giant.

The film has not been a sensation. In its first five days it grossed 300m yuan , one third of the amount earned in a comparable period by “Fast and Furious 9” after the Hollywood action movie was released in China in May. And audiences noticed that Mr Yan was missing. In one telling scene, Mao is chased through a forest by his parents, but does not appear himself. Online articles about Mr Yan being cut were deleted by censors.
