Aaron Kwok Yells at Director in “Back to Youth”

Things got a little heated on set.

The new Chinese reality show Back to Youth <我们十七岁>, also known as We Are Seventeen, follows six celebrities and their journey back into the days of their youth, traveling (and eating) aimlessly around the country. The show stars Aaron Kwok (郭富城), Jimmy Lin (林志穎), Sun Yang (孙杨), Hua Shao (华少), Fan Ming (范明), and Elvis Han (韩东君).

In an upcoming episode, our six friends visit Wudang Mountain in Hubei, where they meet up with a master to learn the way (tao). In its preview clip released on Wednesday, Aaron was seen arguing with the episode’s director, seeming to be at a disagreement about the show’s direction.

“You never cared about trying to understand how we feel,” Aaron was heard saying to the director. Sun Yang tried to console him, but to no avail. After a few more heated exchanges, Aaron left the set and refused to film for the rest of the night. “If you don’t film it, I will not sleep!”

The clip brought up a lot of discussion online, with some netizens suggesting that Aaron’s verbal fight with the director was probably scripted. Reporters reached out to Aaron’s manager Siu Mei (小美) for comment, who said, “Aaron isn’t someone to lose his temper. The topic of this show is returning to 17, so there will definitely be elements of temper tantrums, playfulness, and the like. As for why Aaron got so mad in the episode that took place on Wudan Mountain, I suggest everyone to tune in on Saturday’s episode. All your questions will be answered. There is a reason why he did what he did.”
