Later, some netizens broke the news that because of Zhang Jie’s speech at the concert, many people called him and the original mobile phone number owner was forced to shut down his phone.
It is understood that the first 8 digits of the mobile phone number reported by Zhang Jie, "19821220", are Zhang Jie's birthday. But coincidentally, the number mentioned casually actually existed. On September 8, the cover news reporter inquired and learned that the mobile phone number was displayed as "Shanghai Mobile". When dialed, it was turned off. Searching for the number on WeChat showed that "this user does not exist."
After the incident, polarized public opinion was formed on the Internet. Some netizens explained that the first eight digits of this number are Zhang Jie's birth year, while the last three digits seem to be a homophone. "People at the scene knew that he was joking and would not actually make the call." However, some netizens said that public figures should be cautious when speaking, and they should do their homework in advance even if they are making jokes.

html On the afternoon of September 8, the reporter contacted an audience member who claimed to be at Zhang Jie’s concert that day. The other party said that Zhang Jie did say a string of numbers that night, claiming that it was his mobile phone number. "But it was obvious that he said it randomly, because when he was reading it, we in the audience were also saying it at the same time. It was a birthday and harmony joke, so it was easy to guess." The other party said.There is a precedent in film and television works
Someone leaked the number to compensate, and someone opened WeChat to share
Previously, there had been similar leaks of mobile phone numbers in the film and television industry precedent. In the movie "The Man Caught by the Light", the scene where the leading actors Huang Bo and Wang Luodan met was shot in front of citizen Ms. Cao's store. The phone on the sign of Ms. Cao's store appeared in two movie scenes that totaled 40 seconds. After the film was released, a large number of viewers contacted Ms. Cao through phone calls, text messages, etc., causing trouble in her life.
Ms. Cao believed that due to the film producer's negligence during the filming process, her phone number was leaked and her privacy was violated, so she sued the producer to the People's Court of Xiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province. According to the verdict, the producers of "The Man Caught by Light", Beijing Jingxi Culture and Tourism Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Jingxi Culture") and Beijing Hezhong Ruike Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Hezhong Ruike") "Guest"), because he failed to perform technical processing of the client's mobile phone number in the video, he was sentenced to infringement of personal privacy and compensated the client 30,000 yuan.
Coincidentally, in 2018, the real mobile phone number of citizen Zhang appeared in the TV series "The Evolution of Love", causing him to continue to receive harassing calls and text messages. So Zhang sued the TV series producers Xinli Company and iQiyi Company to the court, demanding that the two companies stop the infringement, eliminate the impact, apologize, and compensate for mental damage and rights protection expenses totaling more than 210,000 yuan. At the beginning of 2019, the Beijing Haidian District Court concluded the case and finally ruled that Xinli Company should pay Zhang a compensation of 35,000 yuan.
In 2022, during the release of the movie "Life Events", according to the official Douyin of the movie, the mobile phone number verbally reported to Xiaowen by the third brother in the film was real, and his place of residence was Wuhan, Hubei. The third brother's WeChat account could be searched through the number. There are many fragments of third brother Xiaowen’s life in the circle of friends. But today, when the reporter searched through WeChat again, it showed that "this user does not exist."
If you are negligent when playing jokes, you should promptly clarify it.
During the performance, if the artist needs to disclose his contact information during the interaction, do he need to communicate with the other party in advance and make relevant preparations? In this regard, the reporter consulted an industry insider responsible for the artist's performance activities. The other person told the reporter that in addition to random shots on site, the team usually has a dedicated person in charge to conduct an investigation in advance to confirm the ownership of the mobile phone number. In addition, some netizens suggested that a dedicated number should be prepared before the concert so that when fans call it, the prepared recording will be automatically played as a surprise.
So, if the privacy of the account owner is leaked, does the leaking party need to bear legal responsibility? "Telephone harassment is a typical behavior that infringes on the peace of private life." Yu Long, director of the Intellectual Property Professional Committee of Beijing Weiheng (Chengdu) Law Firm, said that Article 1032 of the Civil Code stipulates that natural persons enjoy the right to privacy. No organization or individual may infringe on the privacy rights of others through spying, intrusion, leakage, disclosure, etc. Privacy is a natural person's private life and peace, and the private space, private activities, and private information that he does not want others to know.
Not only that, lawyer Yu Long also mentioned that based on the general life experience of the public, the 11-digit phone number casually made up may be the same as the phone number actually used by others. If the casually made-up phone number is indeed used normally by others, his behavior will have an impact on the peace of life of others. "But it can also be seen that Zhang Jie's behavior was not to intentionally disturb the peace of others' lives, but to be careless and cause harm to others when playing tricks. Therefore, as the organizer, it should promptly issue a statement and clarify the facts to avoid infringing on the privacy rights of others. "
Zhou Zhaocheng, a lawyer at Beijing Anjian Law Firm, believes that Zhang Jie may have reported a string of numbers at the concert, which may have been intended to make fun of or interact with fans, but as a result, a real mobile phone number may have been used by others. Calling may cause trouble in their lives. Then, according to the provisions of the Civil Code, mobile phone numbers belong to the category of personal privacy and are protected by law. Unauthorized use, leakage or disclosure of the rights holder’s mobile phone number without the consent may constitute an infringement of privacy rights. If the mobile phone number is not owned by Zhang Jie’s team, although Zhang Jie may not be malicious subjectively, his behavior has objectively caused damage to the privacy rights of others and may be considered an infringement.
In addition, if personal information such as phone numbers need to appear in public works, how should the producer take the correct approach to avoid infringement? Lawyer Zhou Zhaocheng gave the following suggestions: First, perform technical processing such as coding and partial flashing of the phone number to avoid completely presenting the real phone number. Use virtual numbers or processed non-real numbers instead of real numbers to ensure that the plot requires it without infringing on other people's privacy; secondly, the drama and film producers should strengthen the review of scripts, lines, scenes and other content during the production process to ensure that no Unauthorized personal information.Establish a compliance mechanism to specially mark and review parts involving personal information to ensure non-infringement; thirdly, if personal information is leaked due to negligence or intentionality and results in infringement, the drama and film producers shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities; finally, In the digital age, personal privacy protection is particularly important. Both public figures and film and television producers should increase their legal awareness and respect the privacy rights of others.
The reporter also sent a private message to Zhang Jie Studio regarding this matter. As of 6 pm on September 8, before the reporter went to press, the other party had not responded. That night, Zhang Jie will have a concert in Fuzhou, and cover news reporters will continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress.
