Kris Wu's career is still soaring high despite a scandal recently about his alleged girlfriend. Jackie Chan has obviously noticed Wu's skills as a performer and decided to make him a part of his entertainment company, Sparkle Roll Media.
Chan announced that Wu's contract with his entertainment label would be exclusive. He confirmed the news during last week's Shanghai International Film Festival.
"We believe in what Kris Wu can contribute to our company and all these intrigues are a part of celebrity life...this will soon pass by. Every celebrity has negative news about them. Even I have had my shares of negative rumors. I am not immune to naysayers," Chan is quoted saying.
Kris Wu got himself involved in a sleazy sex scandal after two bloggers on the popular site Weibo claimed to have had a relationship with the singer/actor. One of the ladies uploaded pictures of a lady with a guy in the bed, claiming that the guy was Kris Wu.
The two ladies said that Kris Wu was very rude to them, ditching them after some time together in bed. However, Kris has denied any involvement in this scandal, stating that he does not even have time for a girlfriend. Kris further stated that his lawyers will take care of this issue, and the photos will soon be stopped from further circulating. During his interview with International Business Times, Kris described the scandal as "cheap" and "an assault to his integrity."
Chan said that his company will continue to sign up trending and talented young actors and actresses and even offer exclusive contracts to them.
Kris, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude for the confidence that Chan and his label bestowed him despite the malicious rumors that have been circulating. Wu further stated that he is very excited to work for Chan's label very soon.
