There are countless numbers of celebrities who have formed relationships through acting in the same productions. Recently, Sha Yi and Hu Ke just got married, and yesterday it was revealed that 23-year-old Ashton Chen and 25-year-old He Jie are dating. It is understood that they met while filming the movie "The Legend of the Knifeman." This news has spread rapidly online, and netizens who quickly gathered around also found clues from their Weibos. However, some netizens question whether their relationship is a publicity stunt for a new drama series. Some netizens have even uncovered that Ashton Chen has another girlfriend.

Netizens have revealed the identity of the mysterious girl as He Jie! In no time, the news of Ashton Chen and He Jie's romance spread across the internet.

According to reports, last year, they met while filming the movie "The Legend of the Knifeman," where they played a couple for the first time. It is said that during filming, they were always together, and when they weren't, they would send endless text messages. After finishing "The Legend of the Knifeman," Ashton Chen started working on another drama, but He Jie often visited him on set. When Ashton Chen injured his hand during filming, He Jie was extremely worried and tried her best to spend time with her boyfriend. Now, their relationship has stabilized, and they've even met each other's parents.

Suspicion of hype

The intimate photos of Ashton Chen and He Jie shopping together have led many netizens to suspect if there’s a new drama being promoted. All underground relationship rumors mention that they developed feelings for each other while filming "The Legend of the Knifeman." Previously, He Jie had various rumors about plastic surgery, fainting due to weight loss, and leaving the entertainment industry, making this the first time she's been involved in a romantic scandal, leading netizens to suspect if it's for publicity. Some netizens have also uncovered intimate photos of Ashton Chen with another woman, Mu Tingting, pointing out that Ashton Chen has another girlfriend. Others claim that He Jie has a boyish personality and that she and Ashton Chen are likely just good friends. As for the nickname "He Dabao," it actually comes from a book He Jie published earlier, and those around her call her that. Afterwards, reporters found that Mu Tingting had collaborated with Ashton Chen on the martial arts drama "The Peacock Feather," which aired not long ago on CCTV. The publicist of He Jie's company was contacted regarding this matter. Regarding the exposure of the photos, the publicist stated that since they haven't seen the photos, they can't make any comments at the moment, but regardless, they ask the reporter to go easy. Ashton Chen's side has also taken action, hoping the media will stop hyping up the story.
