Actor: Thank you.

A few days later, the annual Bazaar Charity Gala was officially held.

Unlike previous years, there's no need to design a theme this time; the theme is already provided.

The earthquake in Yushu was a natural occurrence.

Not only Bazaar, but all over the country, various events have been held on this theme.

The Deyuan Society also organized a charity performance for disaster relief, and will donate all proceeds to the disaster area.

But all of this so-called revenue is only what the crosstalk troupe can obtain.

In theaters, even if ticket sales don't involve donations, they still make money.

Opinions on Guo are mixed, but her generosity in donating money and goods is more than that of 9% of people in the entertainment industry, which is commendable.

This charity performance also features a significant change.

That means Xiao Yue is finally the "grand finale"!

Previously, his partner had been replaced by Fatty Sun, who had joined the group as a whole.

Because Shi Aidong can no longer "promote" Yue Yunpeng.

Then came someone who could hold their own on stage, both in terms of ability and weight.

Another point is that someone as shrewd as Teacher Guo could not have failed to notice that his two most prized disciples, Cao Yunjing and He Yunwei, were gradually showing signs of "rebellion."

Therefore, they had to cultivate "pillars" in addition to themselves and Teacher Yu.

Otherwise, Guo and Yu would be working themselves to the bone to earn money to support their children at home.

This is no longer a business; it's a welfare institution.

Of course, Guo Degang's desire to prove himself also stems from his support of Yue Yunpeng, a "dumb guy" whose talent is not as good as Jin Zi's.

I want everyone to understand that whoever I promote will become famous!

But why not promote Kong Laosan who came with Xiao Yue, Zhao Laoliu, or the other students from the Yun generation?

Instead, they're praising this guy who's been here for over a year but hasn't been able to get on stage, and the backstage crew wants to get rid of him?

Many people say that Yue Yunpeng is "skilled in speaking, learning, teasing, and singing, and is loyal in all aspects".

First of all, loyalty is one of the noblest virtues of mankind, and it is unreasonable to use this word to "defame" someone.

Moreover, Xiao Yue isn't really a "dumbass"; he's the type who matures late.

Wang Yangming didn't start speaking until he was five and a half years old; Zu Chongzhi was scolded by his father every day as a child as a "stupid kid"; and Zeng Guofan was told he was "mediocre" when he was young.

Not every successful person is intelligent from a young age.

Xiao Yue's talent is certainly not as good as Cao and He's, but he is not entirely without merit.

He can revise programs, such as "Selling Tickets," "The Fearful Drum," and "The Theory of Business." After he revised them, even his master couldn't argue with him.

Besides, black cats or white cats, the one that makes money is the good cat. Whoever can sell tickets is capable.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the secretly filmed video online. Xiao Yue's performance was quite good, and the audience feedback was also positive.

This is reassuring.

Harper's Bazaar sends him an invitation every year, but he doesn't necessarily come every year.

Su Mang and he had a decent relationship, especially since he had given her a large necklace on the spot before.

Today is extraordinary; there are an unusually large number of people here.

The reason for this is Zhang Ziyi's donation issue.

This matter was already at a critical juncture, and with Zhang Yuan's people pushing it further, it completely exploded!

As a result, this Bazaar charity gala earned the nickname "post-charity fraud scandal".

This is the first large-scale charity event in the entertainment industry since the charity fraud scandal.

Almost all the invited celebrities attended.

Huayi Group, Zhang Guoli, Fan Bingbing, Huang Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Lu Yi, Li Lianjie, Feng Xiaogang and his wife, Chen Daomin.

They even invited Halle Berry to the event to show their support.

She's a Hollywood award-winning actress.

Not all Black people are ugly; this one is beautiful.

The main reason is that his mother is white, so she is of mixed race, and quite well-matched.

She was sitting in the front row, of course. When Zhang Yuan went up to greet her, she recognized him and gave him a warm hug.

The other artists around them felt a pang of envy upon seeing this.

Of course, I wanted to go up and chat with the Black beauty, but most people don't speak English well, and she doesn't know you either.

Zhang Yuan has acted in a few movies in Hollywood, so he's at least somewhat recognizable.

The scene was one of enviousness, enviousness, enviousness, enviousness, speechless...

Not long after, they discovered that Zhang Yuan had taken out a handful of sunflower seeds from his suit pocket and shared them with the actress who had won numerous awards, including the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, and Berlin Film Festival awards.

I even taught her how to eat it.

Zhang Yuan taught her while also looking for a camera.

Well, everyone has seen it.

Halle Berry also eats sunflower seeds; if you're so capable, then don't lend her your dress!
You know what, foreigners, especially women, really love confidence.

Zhang Yuan's behavior might be considered shameless by his peers, but to others it's just right.

I was invited here, but it was really just an international gig, which was quite boring.

Having an acquaintance who speaks fluent English to chat with is quite enjoyable for them.

Zhang Yuan discovered that the woman's hearing in her left ear was very poor; she could barely hear anything.

I just remembered that she had a boyfriend who was abusive when she was young, and he almost made her deaf in her left ear.

No matter how beautiful or outstanding a woman is, she must still love herself. This woman is notorious for picking on bad people.

It may be related to the parents' early divorce and the incomplete family.

Thinking back, Zhang Yuan sighed in admiration that Liu Xiaoli was still good at educating people.

Zhang Yuan also introduced the artists under his management to the Black Beauty.

"Wow, Zhang, I didn't know you were an entrepreneur?" Harry was quite surprised.

"Of course, being an actor is just my cover identity, just like Bruce Wayne and Batman."

"Hehehe, you're very humorous."

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "Where was my humor?"

On one hand, there's the exhilarating feeling of fighting ten against one, and on the other, there's the low-key life of a billionaire. Am I just telling the truth?

Oh... he just remembered that this woman had acted in "Catwoman" and even won a Golden Raspberry Award for it.

It would be inappropriate to use such a metaphor in front of her.

"I've noticed that you seem to be highly respected in China." My older sister asked shortly afterward.

During their conversation, more than ten celebrities from various fields came up to greet him.

"Because I deserve respect," Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

"Haha, you are very different from the Chinese people I imagined."

"Many people in your country say that."

Despite his words, Zhang Yuan knew that this wasn't respect, but rather a feeling closer to fear.

Because everyone who came had recently complained about him leading the way in making large donations.

Although he is known for not holding grudges, he has always emphasized this himself.

But looking at Zhang Ziyi's recent situation...

He really doesn't hold grudges!
If there's a grudge, it's repaid tenfold; there's no need to hold a grudge.

Zhang Ziyi has almost become a negative example, and is being criticized by everyone.

Actually, she's not that bad, nor is she a heartless person; at most, she's a bit crazy.

But when it comes to "borrowing your head for a use," it doesn't really matter what your real appearance is.

Everyone knows it was him who did it, after all, the news of his big fight with the Wang family has already spread.

Once Harrison Studios determined that their work did not pose a significant legal risk, they allowed Wong Kar-wai to continue filming.

Old Wang thought the matter was over and that Zhang Yuan wouldn't cause any more trouble.

See, even when it comes to me, I still suffer defeat and setbacks.

Then, he discovered that his leading lady smelled bad...

Zhang Ziyi was the same; Wong Kar-wai had just told her not to pay attention to that kind of person.

Soon after, my older sister became the target of everyone's criticism.

Only then did Wong Kar-wai realize that Jiang Zhiqiang hadn't lied to him!
Tell me to be careful, be careful.

Tell this kid he's a wolf, and once he sets his sights on someone, he won't let go.

I was careless and didn't flash!

The opponent unleashed a powerful attack, striking my ribs directly, causing both soreness and pain.

But Wong Kar-wai, being a seasoned veteran, remained calm.

Jiang Zhiqiang did call him again.

Mr. Jiang felt the taste was too familiar, and he judged that this might not be Zhang Yuan's limit.

But if we go any further, something really bad might happen.

So, he came to persuade her a second time, even though he wasn't very temperamental.

They meant well, so you shouldn't start arguing and cursing.

Zhang Yuan was also very reasonable. He told Jiang Zhiqiang that to resolve this matter, they needed to get to the root of the problem, without going into too much detail.

An experienced person will definitely understand.

Aside from Wong Kar-wai's other factions, Zhang Ziyi is a bloody lesson, so naturally they should take this opportunity to have a face-to-face exchange.

To avoid being the next one.

"Zhang Yuan, you've been having some good luck lately!" Su Mang also came closer to them.

"I was lucky, and you were quite careful too."

The two seemed to be exchanging veiled remarks, but then they both laughed.

Actually, they were referring to Zhang Ziyi.

Because Su Mang didn't invite her.

"To be honest, you are indeed very lucky."

"As soon as your house purchase was reported, someone helped you out of the predicament, and there was more than one person." "Huh?" Zhang Yuan pretended not to understand.

"Don't pretend in front of me." Editor-in-Chief Su looked like he knew everything.

"Ziyi is immature and needs to be taught a lesson."

"But I say you're lucky, it's someone else."

"Who else? I don't know?" Zhang Yuan pretended to be clueless, while Yang Siwei and Zeng Jia silently gave him a thumbs up.

My boss's acting skills... haven't won him a Best Actor award yet, it's just that the major awards are blind!
Who else is there? Don't you have any self-awareness?
You, the King of Hell, are calling in the roll call; we two little devils are carrying out the errand.

Not only did they mess with Zhang Ziyi, they also set Cheng Chong on fire!
There was a reason why Zhang Yuan gave the order to do this.

He needs to create a certain image for himself, so he has to drag others down with him.

Buying a house is ultimately a high-cost activity. While the previous methods might have been understandable to fans, ordinary viewers still disliked them.

This is where you need to use your skills!

Just like he told his two agents, there needs to be a comparison.

The key is how you compare them.
He set out a strategy.

They earn money abroad and spend it domestically.

He acts in Hollywood movies, endorses Mercedes-Benz, buys houses in the country, and donates money in China.

Zhang Ziyi earns money in China and buys luxury homes there, but there are issues with her donations.

Zhang Yuan knew about her luxury homes in Beijing and Hainan, and had his agent help promote them.

And Cheng Chong is even more of a heavyweight!
She earns money domestically and spends it abroad, without donating a single penny to China.

They also brought up her changing her nationality and abandoning her baby in China.

Compared to these two demons and monsters, Zhang Yuan is practically a living saint!

"He really made me cry to death!"

"Go to Hollywood to make money, then donate it back to China. That's a good idea."

"To be honest, I approve of someone like him buying a luxury house. It's better than someone like Zhang Ziyi, who probably stole the money from charity to buy her house."

"At least Zhang Yuan is Chinese, but that Cheng Chong is just a jerk."

If compared with other individuals of the same period, Zhang Yuan stands out.

Just like Xiao Yue, he can't compare to Guo and Yu, nor to Cao and He.

But you have to find the tallest among the short, so that's how they chose him.

If you think Saizeriya's dishes are all pre-made and not tasty, then look at Northwest, and you'll suddenly find Saizeriya quite appealing.

Audience attitudes change rapidly; today they may be extremely left-wing, tomorrow extremely right-wing. It all depends on how you handle it.

The two agents were also impressed. The boss's actions were a series of schemes that reduced the negative impact of buying a luxury house by more than 8%.

However, there was one thing they didn't understand: how had Cheng Chong offended the boss?
They didn't dare to ask.

Zhang Yuan stated very seriously that she was only suitable to be a shield.

I didn't make these things up; she did them all herself.

I was acting solely for public relations purposes, without any personal feelings involved.

It can't be because Cheng Chong, who was wearing a black women's suit, had his hair up, wore high heels, and had three wrinkles on his left eye and four on his right eye, was urging Xixi to film a kissing scene at 10:08 a.m. on April 10, 2010, when the weather was sunny and there was a light breeze, he was also urging Xixi to film a kissing scene.

He doesn't remember at all; he's long forgotten...

Even Cheng Chong's agent didn't know what conflict he had with Cheng Chong, so outsiders would have no idea.

No one expected that Cheng Chong was suddenly dragged out, and it was also his doing.

And this is not the end.

He also needs to find ways to enhance his philanthropic image and attract attention.

Therefore, the Vancl we had contacted earlier came in handy.

Because he and Lei Jun were both shareholders of Duowan Games, Vancl's boss, Mr. Chen, gave him special treatment and agreed to let him design the advertising slogans himself.

"I love kung fu, I love charity."

"Loves to stay in bed longer and loves to eat at street stalls."

"I love to daydream when I have nothing to do, and I also love 29-yuan T-shirts."

"I'm not some superstar who flaunts his wealth."

"I am Zhang Yuan."

“I only represent myself.”

"I'm a Vancl customer, just like you."

The "Vancl Style" advertisement, designed under his supervision, quickly gained popularity online.

Lying in bed late, spacing out, eating at street stalls—these are all traits that resonate with ordinary people and are therefore easy to relate to.

In addition, the "Vancl style" is a type of content that is inherently "anti-mainstream" culture, so it already had the potential to become a hit.

Mainstream cultural narratives often use the third person, while the Vancl style always speaks of "I," catering to young people's need to express their individuality and self.

Winning in a competition of who is worse does indeed make him seem superior.

But ultimately, the key lies in positive publicity and promotion.

This is the safest approach.

He was very satisfied with the final result, and Vancl was also very satisfied.

Because it incorporated Zhang Yuan's flaunting of wealth, it generated extra traffic for the advertisement, making the promotion very successful.

Besides the recent surge in popularity of the "Vancl Style" writing, another trend has emerged.

That is, celebrities showing off their receipts.

Donation receipt!

Since Zhang Ziyi's incident, now all celebrities who donate money are required to prove that they actually donated.

They also began encouraging netizens to investigate in order to clarify the matter.

Everyone was scared.

He was afraid that the "unhealthy trend" started by Zhang Yuan would harm him.

Zhang Yuan has already shown some decency by not exposing all the celebrities' luxury homes to cover for him; that's already giving them face.

You can't make sweeping generalizations; it's bad to offend too many people.

As a "discarded child" in the current entertainment industry, it's easy to mess with Zhang Ziyi.

As they were talking, another person came up to him.

"Zhang Yuan, it's been a long time."

He turned around and saw a familiar face.

Big sister, the creditor!

Zhang Ziyi didn't come, but she did.

After all, she is considered a celebrity in the imperial circle.

However, it hasn't been very popular lately.

Because of her conflict with Zhang Ziyi, she took the initiative to contact the media to expose the incident.

Besides venting, it also implies a desire to show off.

It's clear she can't keep her mouth shut.

Everyone does things secretly, but you bring it out into the open, isn't that breaking the rules?

But rules can't overcome human nature; she loves to show off and desperately needs attention.

"You did a great job with Ziyi's matter!" she praised loudly.

Zhang Yuan: …

I'll get you a megaphone, you can shout it out.
No wonder they're not well-liked; is anyone even making a fuss about this?

It shows you're smart and insightful.

Even someone as boastful as Su Mang knows to use cryptic language and keep a low profile.

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't understand at all." He gritted his teeth, refusing to admit it.

The older sister was already in a bad mood and planned to leave early.

Because not many people paid attention to her, and her family had warned her to keep a low profile.

So he gave a cold snort, clearly annoyed.

"If you don't want to admit it, fine, that's no fun."

"I used to think you were interesting, but now you seem just average. You're all talk and no action."

"Whatever, I'm leaving."

“Oh, right…” the middle-aged woman in elegant clothes turned her head.

"Don't forget our agreement, it's about to expire."

She was referring to Liu Tao's debt of over 100 million yuan.

Zhang Yuan did not reply, but simply watched the other person leave.

Of course he remembered the debt.

This is a huge sum of money.

And what they face is not only financial pressure, but also a powerful family.

Most people would have been so worried that their hair would have turned white long ago.

Fortunately, he was no ordinary person.

As if nothing had happened, he continued chatting with Sister Hei and eating sunflower seeds as usual.

As Vancl's style of writing goes, "I love eating at street stalls, and I have to snack on some sunflower seeds to reinforce my down-to-earth persona."

Until Su Mang came in person and confiscated his sunflower seeds...

bad mood.

It's 5 yuan per jin!

I haggled with the old man selling roasted nuts and seeds from his tricycle for ages before he finally gave me an extra handful.

But soon, his mood improved.

Because Zhang Ziyi called him… (End of Chapter)
