Actor: Thank you.

"Oh, my beloved Chinese..."

A few hours later, KK rolled over and lay flat on the big bed.

After the seven women discussed it, the eldest sister finally slammed her hand on the table.

"I know this person!"

"You were all summoned by me too!"

"Why should you compete with me for first place!"

Ordinary people can never imagine how proactive the goddesses in your eyes are in front of rich and powerful people.

The saying "a woman pursuing a man is easy" is mostly not reserved for the poor.

Now they were convinced that Zhang Yuan was not only rich, but extremely rich, and they were all eager to try their luck.

Especially the chance to make a splash at the F1 circuit.

Not only does it attract cameras, but in addition to various media outlets, there are also representatives from major brands at the venue.

What if it brings business opportunities?

They also have access to top-paid athletes like F1 drivers, whose annual income ranges from several million to tens of millions of US dollars.

If you can hook up with a few, that would be a good way out.

Just like why many actresses would voluntarily jump into a director's bed.

Directors cannot bring them direct benefits, nor can they determine the actresses' salaries.

However, it can indirectly influence the other party and bring them resources.

These girls came without hesitation as soon as they heard about private jets, because they saw that someone who could afford a private jet must have resources.

Now that he still has a fleet of vehicles, he is even more interested in these resources.

This is actually the normal mindset of women: they only go for things that are cheap and affordable.

Those who inexplicably feel a fondness for foreigners are the ones who are mentally unstable.

In any case, these supermodels eventually agreed with Karlie Kloss's "first come, first served" argument.

Zhang Yuan anticipated that these women were shrewd but not smart enough, so he let them do what they wanted.

It's convenient to just sit back and reap the benefits.

Sure enough, he had just finished showering and was about to rest.

This Czech-made woman, dressed in pink silk pajamas, walked barefoot to his door on tiptoe.

"It's late, I'm planning to rest." Zhang Yuan opened the door, not only without a warm invitation, but also putting on a listless appearance.

After his disastrous experience with the red-haired girl, he realized that he had overestimated the importance of national boundaries and underestimated the nature of humanity.

I always felt that foreign girls were more open and easier to get close to.

In reality, people are still just people, and human nature is always base.

Being too polite to some people can easily backfire.

It would be better to turn the tables and retreat into advance.

"Really?" The blonde smiled sideways.

“But I’ve heard that doing some exercise before bed can actually help you rest better.” The Czech girl pressed her body against the door frame, raised one arm, and struck a pose.

……

……

……

After a long time...

"But to be honest, racing is a very expensive sport."

“I’ve spent over 100 million pounds on the Brawn MX team this year,” Zhang Yuan said, slightly exaggerating his investment.

"So I'm a bit short on cash lately."

"I'm afraid I can't afford those expensive jewels, even though you deserve the most beautiful diamonds and gems in the world."

“If you are willing to wait, in 3 to 6 months my funds will be available and I can offer you all the treasures.”

Upon hearing the figure of hundreds of millions of pounds, the supermodel, who had nearly suffered cerebellar atrophy from hunger a few years ago, immediately smiled.

"No, no, no, you don't need to apologize for this."

"Men should spend their money on their careers."

"But if you leave empty-handed from my place, your friends will laugh at you, and I don't want you to go through that."

“It’s okay.” The supermodel moved her CPU slightly, then put her arms around his neck: “You’ve already given me so much.”

"Let me handle this small amount of money."

Zhang Yuan: It's a deal, may we have double happiness!
I've already brought you all to Paris and paid for your accommodations and meals.

Shouldn't we try to salvage some of it?

From a model's perspective, these girls are competing to outshine each other, all for the sake of saving face.

Otherwise, why would she have invited all these older women to come and take the plane?

It's just to prove that I'm better at hooking up with rich guys than you guys.

Zhang Yuan knew that if he couldn't get jewelry and fancy clothes from her, his "plastic sisters" would think he was incompetent.

It's the same reason why many women in China compare dowries.

These women, unconsciously, exchange material conditions for themselves and take pride in it.

So, after Zhang Yuan painted a huge picture for her, making her think she had hooked up with a car fleet owner who owned a private jet, he said he didn't have the money to buy her jewelry or fancy clothes.

How to do?
How did Maupassant write "The Necklace," and how did he satirize these vain women?

For a moment of glory and to show off, they ended up having to spend half their lives paying off their debts.

Ironically, they were eventually told that the necklace was fake.

Maupassant truly deserves his reputation as a master; his writing is sharp yet reasonable.

So, the next day.

Wow, your ruby ​​earrings are so beautiful!

At dinner, Zhang Yuan invited the entire film crew to eat with the models.

Several sisters held up the large KK and said.

She also proudly displayed the jewelry on her earlobes.

"Hey, that's a really nice watch."

Sitting next to Zhang Yuan, Chan Ning looked at the new Rolex GMT-Master II on his wrist.

"Yes, it's newly bought."

"You've really gone all out for these women!" Cha Ning exclaimed.

It was also noted.

"Don't get too involved. These women spend money at a rate that could bankrupt a tycoon in a short time."

"Maybe, but I won't," Zhang Yuan replied confidently.

"you sure."

“Of course, guess who paid for this watch?” Zhang Yuan took off his watch and handed it to Cha Ning.

"Could it be that……"

"It's just what you think."

Including the earrings and his watch, it cost 3 euros, all paid for by the Czech-made beauty.

Even if you don't give him face, you have to give yourself face.

But the envious looks from her "plastic sisters" made the Czech girl feel it was all worth it.

The male protagonist was dumbfounded.

Is this how all Chinese people play?
Not only do they not spend any money, they even make people pay them!

Being too proud to admit your mistakes is a recipe for suffering.

"HOW?" Chaning looked puzzled. "How did you do that?"

“You won’t be able to learn it.” Zhang Yuan patted his muscular back and retrieved the watch he had gotten for free.

It's not enough to just take advantage of the other person's pride.

There are prerequisites.

That is to make the other party feel that spending money is prestigious, while also being able to recoup their investment in the long run.

I don't own a plane or a car fleet, so no matter how much I try to persuade her, my older sister won't spend any money.

And it will also bring an advantage.

Zhang Yuan looked at the remaining supermodels.

Now he looks at him with even more fervor.

Big KK got a pair of gemstone earrings in one night, that's a really bad deal!
This girl, for the sake of saving face, will not only deceive herself, but also her friends.

As I said before, it's all about who benefits in the end.

"So, who are you planning to spend the night with?" Old Black turned his head and asked with great envy.

After arriving in Paris, he also tried to communicate with these supermodels and look for opportunities.

Compared to the conditions Zhang Yuan offered, these girls looked down on Lao Hei.

So the black guy was very frustrated.

I never imagined that the person who mocked Zhang Yuan for being the "Chinese Casanova" actually is!
"Why are there several?" Zhang Yuan asked Old Black.

"Sorry, buddy, I forgot that you Chinese are more traditional in one-on-one situations..."

“No, we Chinese have an old saying: ‘Only children make choices; adults want it all!’” Zhang Yuan clenched his fist in front of him.

Old Black: ……

I thought you were innocent, but I never expected you to be so loving.

This group of supermodels comes from the Czech Republic, Australia, Britain, Brazil, South Africa, and Italy.

Zhang Yuan simply wanted to contribute to the great unity of people around the world.

In particular, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of the customs and traditions of different countries, because without investigation, one has no right to speak.

Upon hearing this, the red-haired older sister snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Heh heh, someone's breathing sounds acidic," the Baroness teased.

"Isn't it a pity you didn't get to ride in a private jet?"

"I don't want to sit on the same flight as those stupid women who are constantly vomiting and vomiting up their brains."

"Sitting with people who can only think of puff pastry when they hear the name Napoleon would pollute my intelligence."

It's sour.

The red-haired older sister's words were more sour than aged red wine.

It's almost as good as Shanxi aged vinegar.

Zhang Yuan heard her muttering.

It's okay, we'll get back together with you later.

I already said I want them all.

After dinner, I wandered around outside for a bit before returning to the hotel. When I opened the door, I found the Czech-made machine gun already set up, ready to be loaded.

The next day, when he arrived at the film set and was looking around the location and preparing for his scenes, he overheard the props supervisor chatting with several prop masters.

"how could be?"

"I remember it was good."

"Why is it a broken sword now?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at the scabbard and dagger in the other person's hand; they looked very familiar.

It's the product that was switched out by themselves!
He didn't expect to be exposed so quickly.

"Is there going to be a problem?"

The group began to study it.

Seeing that the case was about to be solved, which would affect his "major relocation" on the film set, Zhang Yuanqi came up with a clever idea.

"what's wrong?"

"My prop is broken?" He stepped forward with a worried look on his face.

“Yes, this knife is broken. Could it be that someone…” Zhang Yuan interrupted before the other person could finish speaking.

"I know, it must have been the airline that damaged it!"

"When I came to Paris before, all the cameras in my suitcase were smashed!"

"These Frenchmen hate foreigners and will deliberately throw their luggage."

"Oh..." the prop guy nodded: "Damn Frenchmen!"

"Yes, yes, these guys are lazy and mean."

"Yes, these Frenchmen are more than just grateful; if it weren't for our help from the Americans, they would all be speaking German by now!"

There are also considerable conflicts among white people, especially among the old imperialist powers, who look down on each other.

After diverting the conversation and waiting for the props team to start cursing the French in unison, Zhang Yuan made his graceful exit.

You bunch of white people can fight it out.

Just like those supermodels, I only benefit from your competition.

In high spirits, he was thinking about how to "move" those hidden swords home and "keep" them safe for the crew.

Just then, a phone call shattered his recent good mood.

"Hello, boss."

Zeng Jia called him.

As her nominal agent, she didn't bring her abroad, since Zhang Yuan didn't need her help much.

It would be better for her to handle the affairs of the rest of the family in the country.

However, she still needs to keep a close eye on all information related to Zhang Yuan and do her job as his agent.

So after seeing some of the messages, she quickly called.

"what's up?"

"There's been a problem."

"The company's?"

"No, it's your problem."

Here's what happened.

Although "City of Life and Death" has already been released, it is still following the established procedures to promote the film through roadshows in various locations.

When they came to Shanghai for promotion, they even held a press conference to announce that the box office had exceeded 100 million yuan.

Originally, Lu Chuan was supposed to bring along the main cast, including his girlfriend Qin Lan, Liu Ye, Gao Yuanyuan, Teacher Fan Wei, and Jiang Yiyan.

It's good to have a good time together.

However, problems arose during the public interview Q&A session.

Journalists are people who love to watch the drama unfold.

They always ask strange questions, or even deliberately stir up trouble to create an effect so they can write their columns later.

It's the kind of person who prioritizes their own work and career over the facts and the lives of others.

In fact, most real-time reporters are quite good, especially those from major platforms.

There are also those who deliberately endure hardships, go undercover in illegal factories, and risk their lives to expose the shady dealings; these are all respectable people.

But entertainment reporters are different; the general level of professionalism in this field is lower.

The main advantage is the low barrier to entry.

So, at this moment when the atmosphere on the set of "Nanjing Nanjing" was both solemn and somewhat joyful, the other reporters were all asking...

What are the director's views on the Nanjing Massacre?

"What social responsibility does this film fulfill?"

Would you recommend this to your child?

These are relatively normal topics.

But one reporter stood out from the crowd, raising his hand with the intention of stirring up trouble.

"Director Lu Chuan, may I ask?"

"What are your thoughts on the fact that this film, which you put a lot of effort into, has been surpassed at the box office by 'Ip Man' released at the same time?"

The celebration banquet just ended here, and you turn around and ask, "How does it feel to be inferior to others?"

Why did the poet Chen so vehemently criticize Liu Yan back then, and even try to harm her?

It was all because Liu Yan asked a question during the interview.

"What if The Promise doesn't meet your box office expectations?"

Director Chen said that Liu Yan was cursing him and that she was a nuisance.

Who is Lu Chuan?

His personality is not much different from that of the poet Chen.

But to be fair, Director Chen's level is still higher than his.

Poet Chen is simply not as capable as he pretends or imagines himself to be.

Lu Chuan is really no good.

But the more incompetent a person is, the more they have to pretend.

Just like how KK knew Zhang Yuan wouldn't buy her jewelry, but still preferred to spend her own money to put on a show.

The reporter's words deeply stung Director Lu.

A few days ago, my girlfriend comforted me, and I finally managed to calm down, but now all of my emotions have suddenly erupted.

"I really don't like this question!"

"I made 'Nanjing Nanjing' to remember history."

"It's like shooting a work of art."

"I won't compare it to a movie that's just for entertainment and to pander to the masses."

"Especially some actors, in order to make money, can make a lot of money by filming some poorly made dramas."

"This is destroying the Chinese film market!"

"People like Qin Lan and Teacher Fan are truly good actors."

"Some idols who are not actors at all are making bad movies to make money."

"I think there's definitely something wrong with some movies that have higher box office returns than 'City of Life and Death'!"

"And the fact that this kind of movie can achieve high box office is a disgrace to Chinese cinema!"

"Just like director Feng Xiaogang said before, it is because there are bad audiences that bad movies are produced!"

After speaking, Lu put down the microphone, turned around and left the press conference venue.

That felt great!
I vented all the unhappiness I'd been feeling these past few days.

He was satisfied, but everyone else present was dumbfounded!
Liu Ye, in particular, swallowed hard.

He vividly remembers how he lost his role in "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Now I understand even more clearly who Director Lu was cursing at.

It's that guy who was planning to provide free security for his own wedding.

Gao Yuanyuan was also dumbfounded; who should she speak up for?

If you help the director, your old flame will definitely be angry, and there will be no chance to rekindle your relationship.

Helping his old flame has offended the director again.

Qin Lan was also stunned.

She never expected her boyfriend to lose his temper in public.

None of the main creators dared to speak on set.

They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Only Jiang Yiyan's expression held a hint of mischief.

Because she knew about Zhang Yuan and Qianqian's relationship.

Now that Liu Qianqian has gotten into trouble, she's quite happy about it.

It will make you arrogant, give you abundant resources, and make you the object of everyone's admiration!
how about it?
Now you've fallen for it!
They also knew that Zhang Yuan had done some things to promote Xiaolongnu.

She was itching to get her hands on those magazine resources, especially the covers of overseas newspapers.

They were so envious they almost ground their back teeth to powder.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was once again singled out and criticized by Lu Chuan.

Hehe, your "backer," the only person who helped you, is now going to be in trouble too.

Let's see how long you can stay arrogant!
A woman's jealousy is a terrible thing.

Just like how the redhead would sourly mock those supermodels.

The sourness stems from jealousy, from the resentment that you have what I don't.

Unlike the creators, the reporters were extremely excited, raising their cameras and video cameras to snap away.

I thought today was just a regular promotional event, but I never expected... oh my god, there was an unexpected bonus!

This should be enough to write ten articles.

If we continue to follow up with reports, we'll probably have enough to eat for several months.

Finally, producer and investor Qin Hong stood up and announced the end of the press conference.

Everyone hurriedly left, only to breathe a sigh of relief when they got backstage.

"I'm sorry," Qin Lan quickly greeted them on their behalf.

"You should go find Director Lu right away," Liu Ye urged.

Others might not understand, but he had experienced firsthand the consequences of challenging Zhang Yuan.

And that was several years ago, the old version of Zhang Yuan.

With the current version iteration and upgrade, Zhang Yuan has no idea what level he has reached.

All he knew was that something terrible was about to happen… (End of Chapter)
