Actor: Thank you.

If Jiang Zhiqiang felt like the sky was falling when "Lust, Caution" was stuck in review,

After seeing so many photos of female stars on the Internet, he and his friends now feel like the sky has been pierced into a sieve.

Done!

Now there is no need to worry about fighting or not, just save face first... Oh, no, I have already lost my face.

Save your butt first!

They had already foreseen that the situation they were about to face was exactly like a Hollywood blockbuster in the future.

"Mission Impossible 7", this is going to be a "fatal reckoning"!
All the obstacles you set before and the advantages you took over the years, the other party must be scratching his throat now, and he will make you spit it all out in one day!
Sure enough, the higher-ups responded quickly.

"All Hong Kong films have been suspended for review until further notice."

Including Hong Kong-funded movies and TV series, all of them have been put on hold for the time being. Let's check them carefully one by one.

When you get the chance, just use your ultimate skill and kick you all down first.

The reason given is also very legitimate.

Who knows who is involved in this?

Just because there are no photos released now doesn’t mean there won’t be any later.

Let's all take it easy until this incident is over.

As for when the matter will end, it depends on my mood and your sincerity.

After taking the initiative, the situation has completely turned around.

The people in the Hong Kong circle are now speechless and have no way to defend themselves.

The photos are all on the Internet, how can you explain it?

You can only stick your butt up and wait to be beaten.

Because a sore butt is better than having your butt hung on a tree or street lamp...

"Hey, hello."

In a Los Angeles hotel, Zhang Yuan received a call from Editor-in-Chief Liu.

The other party's voice had changed from the deep voice of the past few days. Now his tone was cheerful, just like a princess in the club who had just received a stack of tips from the big brother.

The end of each sentence flies upwards!

How could he be unhappy.

If the side you are on wins a great victory, then you will be a loyal follower and will reap great benefits in the future.

However, he thought that the person he was talking to was the true loyal follower of the dragon.

The leader said that this kid might just be born with great luck.

Last time something was about to happen, Grandpa Ho died.

It’s game over this time, the enemy blew himself up again.

The leader recalled what Liu Che said about Huo Qubing in the film "The Emperor of Han Wu" directed by Hu Mei.

"The greatest advantage of the General of the Cavalry is that he is born rich and powerful, and he will win no matter what battle he fights."

When Huo Qubing went on his first expedition, he led 800 men around to the rear and captured the grandfather and uncle of the Xiongnu Chanyu.

In the second expedition, he destroyed two kings, slaughtered the elite troops, and brought back the Huns' golden man for offering sacrifices to the sky as a trophy.

Unlike Li Guang who got lost every time, Guan Junhou was extremely steady every time, and even Gaode Maps was not so accurate.

Now people in Hong Kong think Zhang Yuan is evil, but the Master sees him as a lucky star.

Just say you want to be Liu Xiu, not Bai Qi.

"Have you heard about it?" Editor-in-Chief Liu slightly suppressed his joy and asked tentatively.

"You're talking about the Xiangjiang photo." Zhang Yuan smiled and replied, "I heard about it abroad."

"The news here at the Lighthouse is all on."

"Oh..." Editor-in-Chief Liu had an idea; he saw it from the news.

The leader meant for him to ask whether this matter had anything to do with Zhang Yuan.

He wasn't a big suspect in the first place.

Because the Hong Kong police have already intervened, the higher-ups have also received the news and preliminary confessions.

When Edison Chen sent his computer for repair, the pictures and videos on the hard drive were discovered and leaked by the maintenance personnel.

When this happened, Zhang Yuan was not in the country at all.

So the initial judgment is that it has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Yuan also deliberately answered that he knew.

This matter is too big. If we don’t know or understand it, it will only make it more obvious.

He did not lie, but selectively told the truth.

Not to mention the beacon country, France, Germany, Britain... most countries with developed media have reported this incident.

It can be called "notorious".

This is also the reason that makes the superiors most angry, and it has brought shame to foreign countries.

"Congratulations." Zhang Yuan added.

"Congratulations, let's have dinner together after we return home."

"Sure, I'll arrange it."

"No, I'll arrange it." Editor-in-Chief Liu refused.

Oh?
He wants to arrange it?

That means that someone more important is going to show up, so he has to prepare a more secret and safe place.

This is a happy event for Zhang Yuan.

This is exactly what he wants!
After putting down his phone, he switched it to vibrate mode and threw it into the hands of his assistant.

"Call me if you see an important call."

“Don’t answer the rest.”

He expected that there must be a lot of people rushing to find him.

We are not fools. We all know that he has chosen the right side this time, and there must be many people who want to establish a relationship with him.

There will definitely be a bunch of cats and dogs looking for him.

He has to keep calm now and not become arrogant when he succeeds.

It's easy to get into trouble.

beep, beep...

The assistant was holding a cell phone that was about to vibrate to purple when there was a knock on the door of his hotel room.

"Uncle Long."

The person who came was Chen Long.

"Let's go and have dinner together."

As soon as this person entered the room, he hooked his shoulder and pulled him out with great enthusiasm.

"Okay."

Of course Chen Long saw the pictures of the "gate" incident.

He called his son immediately and felt relieved only after he sternly confirmed that his son was not involved.

He asked around and confirmed that no one in the works he had recently collaborated with or starred in was involved.

I have to say that Chenlong is quite powerful.

Those who appear in the photos basically have nothing to do with him and have never worked with him.

This is not a coincidence. His principles of employing and evaluating people are different from those of the general Hong Kong circle.

Among the four young stars that Hong Kong is promoting, Nicholas Tse, Wu Yanzu, Edison Cheng and Shawn Yue, he has only worked with Nicholas Tse and A Zu for a long time.

Mr. Chen, who loves photography, and Ah Lok, who has a problematic attitude, he has never filmed a movie with them.

When it comes to some major issues, Uncle Long's perception and vision are quite impressive.

Therefore, even if he made some mistakes in some small matters, the country always regarded him as a face.

With his mind and vision, how could he not see it?

When Guan Xi's incident happened this time, I can only say...

Sir, times have changed!
The good days of Hong Kong entertainment industry are over.

I had intended to wait until Zhang Yuan was in trouble before helping him.

Now, not only are they not in trouble, they are also eating hot pot and singing songs.

Adding more charcoal yourself just makes the stove hotter.

You have to send it, you can't not do it.

Seeing that someone is building a tall building, you have to rush to help and shout.

Chen Long invited him to have a big meal at the most expensive restaurant in the area.

Then we discussed the next itinerary.

"I had some concerns before, so I didn't bring you to the show."

"I understand." Zhang Yuan replied quickly.

"Now that I don't have those concerns, would you like to go on some promotional shows with me next?"

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that this guy turned around really quickly.

No wonder he’s doing so well.

"Okay, take me with you."

When Chen Long heard his answer, he laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

it is good!
If it were someone else, let alone someone of his age.

Even though I'm a middle-aged man, after being suppressed for so long, it's good enough that I don't vent my anger on members of the Hong Kong circle and give them the cold shoulder.

Everything is still the same as before, as if nothing has changed.

This is the person who does great things!

Chen Long went to see him not only to talk about something, but also to test his attitude.

Not only for himself, but also for Yang Shouchen and other Hong Kong bigwigs.

They are very sensitive now, and would panic at the slightest disturbance, so they want to start from the small and work their way up to the big, and first read something from the attitude of the vanguard Zhang Yuan.

Next, he followed Chen Long and started a roadshow across the United States.

Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, San Diego...traveled to every big city one by one.

The shows were one after another, from the Stephen Chow Show, to the Late Show, to the Fat Lone Show, to the Jimmy Show, to the Daily Show.

Chen Long has taken him to all the signature programs of major North American TV stations.

According to his current status, he is actually not qualified to do so.

But Chen Long is indeed a big name overseas, and once he puts his name to it, all programs and TV stations will agree.

And every time Uncle Long appears on a show, he will point at him and talk to the host.

"These are the best young actors in our country."

"He's going to be the next Bruce Lee."

Although it feels a bit unlucky.

Bruce Lee died at the age of 32...all the pension insurance I paid was in vain.

But I also understand that this is a huge compliment.

This is called using the opponent's force to counter attack and using the wrist to nourish the wrist.

His popularity in overseas markets is not high enough, so by associating him with someone who is famous enough, people will think of the title "the next Bruce Lee" when they mention him.

There were a lot of "little Gong Li" in China in the early years.

This is the simplest, fastest and most effective way.

The host also became interested when he heard it.

Then Uncle Long would take the opportunity to let him show off his boxing skills.

"Just come on that one!"

Chen Long himself is not the type of person who likes to do hard and tough things, so he knows very well that no matter how strong his kung fu is, he still has to attract attention.

So every time he goes on the show, he is asked to perform the "kicking the bottle cap" move that he has performed many times and which always makes people's eyes widen.

They performed each routine once, while Uncle Long clapped and laughed beside them.

I'm tired of being kicked by him.

But it did win a lot of applause, but it was a waste of water.

White people don’t understand, so a little trick is more appealing than a set of Tongbei.

The benefits of doing so are obvious.

"Can you sign your name for me?"

After appearing on six or seven shows, he was having dinner in a restaurant that day. Within half an hour, five or six groups of people came to him for his autograph.

At this time, the film has already been released in North America.

The dual effects of the movie and the show made his enthusiasm, which had previously subsided, swell again.

After all, the Eiffel Tower scene between him and Uncle Long is the most exciting fight scene in the whole film.

When the audience entered the theater, they were perfectly satisfied with Chen Long’s description of him as “Little Bruce Lee”.

So a few days ago I was lamenting that when I go abroad, I can eat and go shopping freely without being surrounded and blocked by people like in China.

it's good now.

If you want to sign, just sign.

How about a small notebook or paper?
Even if a big foreign girl comes and opens her shirt for me to sign on her chest?
Everyone came to me with bottles of water and asked me to sign the bottles.

The key is that they all want me to perform kicking the bottle.

You are addicted.

Can I bear it?
So when he heard this request, he waved his hand instantly.

The other party only saw a shadow passing in front of him!
Then the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand was flicked away by his fingers.

It’s still okay to take mineral water.

It's exaggerated to come with Coke.

As soon as the bottle cap is opened, a stream of burnt yellow foam shoots straight into the sky, and the effect is even more shocking.

"Putty removal skills?"

When someone comes, someone takes pictures.

This video of Coke quickly became popular on YouTube.

In addition, clips of previous shows at major fashion shows were also posted online.

For a time, he became famous in North America and was quite a celebrity.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan believes that this time the popularity will last longer.

Last time he became famous just by accident, but this time it was thanks to his works and roles.

Soon, the first weekend box office figures came out.

$8000 million!
Although this result is not as good as the second one.

After all, it has been too long, and the series' heat and popularity have been mostly dissipated in the long wait.

However, New Line expects to make back its investment in the North American market alone.

The remaining overseas markets and disc sales are pure profit.

They are also very much looking forward to the Chinese market, which the series has never entered before.

"Although the box office of this film is not as good as the previous one..."

In the hotel where they were staying, Chen Long drank brandy and chatted with him.

Having said that, he cursed Lao Hei as usual.

Blame him!

“But it’s profitable at least.”

"In Hollywood, as long as you can make money, you can stay popular."

"Although you play a supporting villain in this film, as long as the film makes money, you are a profitable actor."

"However." Uncle Long said with concern.

“This is just the first one.”

"You will have a second play next." He said earnestly: "As long as you can make money, someone will definitely come to you."

"But you have to be careful not to take bad roles just because of the pay."

"Because if you fail once, you may never have another chance to come back to Hollywood in your lifetime."

"Look at Zhang Ziyi."

“Rush Hour 2 is a huge hit.”

"House of Flying Daggers is also very profitable in North America."

"But Memoirs of a Geisha failed, and as the main star, she must be held responsible, and was immediately abandoned by Hollywood."

“So you have to remember that it’s better to play a supporting role in a good play, a big play, than to play the leading role in a bad play.”

Zhang Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

What Uncle Long said is wise and true.

The reason is also very simple.

You play a supporting role in every play, but as long as each one makes money, you will always have a job.

Hollywood also has a "feng shui" concept similar to that in China, which they call the "box office curse."

Superstition exists both at home and abroad.

If a major drama in which he stars fails, the road is cut off.

The difference between having one meal full and having every meal full is this.

"I'll keep it in mind." Zhang Yuan replied very seriously.

While he was promoting his work and accepting interviews in North America, press conferences were also being held every day in the Hong Kong circle.

Major celebrities also frequently showed up to express their opinions.

Maggie Cheung said that Edison Chen’s bed photos were very creative... This person was just here to watch the fun.

Xu Xian, you have changed.

Chen Xiaochun cursed Edison Chen and even used foul language.

Because his girlfriend, who later became his wife, Cecilia Cheung, had also dated Edison Chen, and she must have been photographed in bed with him.

There were even rumors on the Internet that the reason those actresses were photographed was because Edison Chen drugged them.

This is called hard washing for the master.

It was obviously all voluntary, and Edison Chen conquered everyone with his photography skills.

But there are always people who can't accept it.

Especially Gillian’s fans, they were all devastated!

Usually she presents herself as a pure "jade girl".

Now everyone has discovered that the innocent girl has turned into a lustful woman, and all the die-hard fans’ views on life have been shattered.

This person even made a famous quote when he appeared in an interview.

"I was so stupid and naive before..."

At the same time, a movie called "Jump Out" announced that all Edison Chen's shots and scenes would be deleted.

This film was produced by Han Sanpin, who collaborated with Stephen Chow.

Zhang Yuqi, who had just been signed by Stephen Chow at the time, was the leading female role.

It can be seen that Lao Han and Stephen Chow are also trying their best to distance themselves from the incident, fearing that they will be torn apart by this whirlpool of public opinion.

Some media even reported that Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse had divorced and were living separately.

And all the same underwear and sweatshirts that appeared in the photos were hot sellers.

The most popular one is Edison Chen’s Monkey King underwear, which is a total hit.

As time goes by, even though the Hong Kong police have intervened, new photos and people involved in the case continue to appear.

At this point, things have become a complete mess.

When a gun is fired, someone dies. When someone dies, someone cries. When someone cries, he or she speaks out what is in his or her heart.

The last shot wasn't loud enough.

The crying wasn't loud enough.

So, Zhang Yuan received another call from Jiang Zhiqiang.

He wanted to talk to Zhang Yuan about his true feelings... (End of this chapter)
