NOT COOL!
For those who havent read this yet. I suggest to READ IT NOW.
Hey!Say!JUMP‘s Yamada Ryosuke, Daiki Arioka, and actress Kawaguchi Haruna, who are in Hong kong to shoot the upcoming Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo~Hong Kong Kowloon Zaiho Satsujin Jiken~ have received some anti-Japanese sentiments from Chinese locals.
Sina News reported that due to the tensions between Sino-Japanese relations over disputed islands, an anti-Japanese sentiment have risen among locals. In their latest location shoot in North Point Market , some Chinese locals/ traders were reported to have given Yamada and the cast a “finger”, few curses, and even heard saying that Japanese should not be coming to Hong Kong to shoot.
Chinese and Japanese relations have been strained after Japanese “nationalized” islands of Senkaku that Chinese are claiming as theirs.
Yesterday, the casts of Kindaichi filmed some of the scenes from Shangri-La Hotel in Tsim Tsa Shui to North Point Market. The busy wet market became a bustling film set with some of Hey!Say!JUMP’s fans following Yamada and Daiki. The crowd thickened around 9 in the morning, but the casts maintained their professionalism and continues to shoot. However, some traders/business owners were not particularly happy with the casts shooting in their area and were heard saying, “You, Japanese people should not shoot here in Chinese soil“. As the traders angers grew, the production crew were forced to call the police for assistance to mediate.
The shooting continues from North Point Market to Regal Hotel to Causeway Bay streets. A large number of Chinese fans were tailing the film crew and even rented some small trucks/pick-up to make it easier to follow the casts.
The shooting continued until dinner time wherein the casts ate their meals inside their vans.
ME: Seriously?! Seriously??? show them the 'finger'? come on...You should treat your guest better and look at Yama-chan's face.
Shit, he might have given you a good banter but he DIDN'T cause he RESPECTS you locals. Come on.. I hate to say this but, be more civilized.
