Actor: Thank you.

Humans are emotional beings.

The emotions between men and women are particularly intense, stemming from biological instincts.

In order to limit and protect the interests of both parties, civilized societies have unanimously created a "contract" called marriage.

Some see it as a cruel shackle, while others see it as the most beautiful promise.

For most women, especially those from normal families, the age range of 18 to 28 is when they most yearn for marriage.

It seems to be a kind of human instinct.

Once you get past that age, when you're in your thirties or forties, things just calm down.

Therefore, what is the simplest and easiest way to attract a woman who has just come of age?

Using marriage and lifelong commitment as bait.

"Haha, it seems we're in great luck!" Shortly before the Spring Festival Gala began, Zhang Yuan received a call from Harvey.

"Are you sure it's because of luck?" the old guinea pig replied in a strange, somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Of course it's luck, what else could it be?"

"He has never cultivated good deeds in his life, and he loves nothing more than to deceive others and relieve his lust. Who can he blame for this?"

"In our Chinese culture, this is called cause and effect, or retribution."

"Hehehe, I'll take your word for it." Harvey knew in his heart that this was definitely a scheme orchestrated by Zhang Yuan behind the scenes.

Because there's no such thing as a coincidence in this world!

You and Lee Byung-hun are vying for a role, but he suddenly gets into a lawsuit!

In theory, Koreans also celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Because these customs originated from the Chinese civilization.

In ancient times, there was no Western calendar, and people who used the lunar calendar usually celebrated the New Year.

Of course, their later attempt to claim the Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival as their own is another story.

Anyway, Lee Byung-hun had a very difficult time this Lunar New Year.

Because his ex-girlfriend sued him!
Although his most famous ex-girlfriend is Song Hye-kyo, it wasn't Song Hye-kyo who sued him.

Instead, it was an ordinary person named Kwon Mi-yeon.

This person is a Canadian of Korean descent who works as a photographer in North America and runs a small business; he is not an actor.

None of that matters. What matters is that Kwon Mi-yeon suddenly pulled out a bunch of private photos, exposing her relationship with Lee Byung-hun.

She also accused him of long-term PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics, gambling addiction, and emotional deception.

They also filed a claim for 1 million won in damages for emotional distress.

One hundred million Korean won is actually only 5 to 60 Chinese yuan.

It wasn't a lot of money, but in the end, they were sued.

And she was embroiled in a sex scandal.

This isn't the first time Brother Li has encountered something like this.

This has happened several times before, and it will happen countless times in the future.

When he was with Song Hye-kyo, she was rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night and developed an anal fissure.

Li Xiaolu had a similar experience; she had sex with Pu Bajia until her corpus luteum ruptured.

But Lu Han is naturally playful and loves to have fun.

Song Hye-kyo was Lee Byung-hun's first love, and she developed psychological trauma from being played by him.

If you've ever lived in South Korea or met South Koreans while studying abroad, you'll know that South Koreans have very unique characteristics.

It's very common for girls to bully others and for boys to cheat on their partners.

Koreans especially like girls who are naive and inexperienced.

He immediately adopted the gentle and loving attitude of an oppa, showering her with care and attention.

He confessed his feelings after some time and expressed that he would date her with marriage in mind.

Korean dramas have a soft-focus effect on many girls, especially Chinese girls.

The time here might only be a few days.

Then she was deeply moved and coaxed into bed.

Then the other party will become increasingly perverse and continue to use marriage as an excuse.

"They're all mine now, so I'll give it a try."

"We will be together for life."

"I will take responsibility for you..."

Girls, especially in their first love, tend to obey their partners' every whim.

Once you've had your fill of playing, then give it a kick.

They might even share audio and video recordings with their compatriots.

Many Koreans even compete with each other to see who can cheat on the most women.

Dating with the intention of marriage is the most common excuse they use to gain a girl's trust.

Marriage is their protective shield.

Therefore, young girls should watch fewer Korean dramas and spend less time on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), and establish correct views on life and values.

Lee Byung-hun did roughly the same thing to Kwon Mi-yeon, to Song Hye-kyo before her, and to all the actresses after her.

Basically, it's all about PUA tactics; once you get tired of it, you just throw it away.

This isn't just his problem; it's a common phenomenon in South Korea, especially in the entertainment industry.

In comparison, Lee Byung-hun is doing relatively well.

Kim Soo-hyun is dating Kim Sae-ron...

And it's not just about playing around; once they're done, they'll leech off you, squeezing out every last bit of value.

In China, this is something only the worst kind of scoundrel would do, but it's very "common" in South Korea.

To say that Lee Byung-hun's behavior was perverse is not entirely his fault.

Because he too "suffered."

In 92, there was a Korean movie called "Naked," which tells the story of a TV station conducting "naked internships" for its trainees, requiring them to perform completely naked.

This kind of near-personal deprivation and slave-like training is nothing new in the Korean entertainment industry.

This movie is based on a true story, with KBS television station and Lee Byung-hun as the real-life inspiration.

So it's highly likely that this guy was forced into double-plugging, and the things he did afterward were somewhat a result of psychological distortion and revenge against society.

Kwon Mi-yeon sued him, and he countersued her for extortion.

Later, Kim Da-hee secretly filmed him harassing female group members, which was actually an attempt to extort money, and he countersued her.

Why are you always being blackmailed? Shouldn't you think about this question?

This shows that you not only have a fling, but you also don't treat women like human beings, and you'll become enemies after the breakup.

Zhang Yuan asked Jiang Zhiqiang for help with this matter.

Of course he can go to South Korea and cause trouble on his own.

But that's already an open secret.

One should be "decent" in life.

If someone does bad things in the entertainment industry and acts so nonchalantly, then wouldn't I be a Korean?
Therefore, we need a setter to find someone to relay the information.

Moreover, he had Boss Jiang find a channel to contact another third party to approach Ms. Quan Meiyan under a special pretext.

This special identity belongs to SBS.

He instructed Jiang Zhiqiang to find someone to pretend to be an employee of SBS television station, and to locate and contact the woman.

SBS is the TV station that secretly filmed the Beijing Olympics; it's notorious for having no moral compass.

Even in South Korea, a place that already has no bottom line, they are exceptionally shameless.

In fact, Quan Meiyan had been planning to cause trouble all along. Zhang Yuan only contacted her at the time he wanted. The matter and the evidence were not fabricated out of thin air.

Kwon Mi-yeon's stunt will definitely be investigated in the end.

The identity of SBS is quite reasonable.

Because Lee Byung-hun, in addition to wanting to break into Hollywood with the help of KBS and Daewoo, also starred in KBS's major annual production.

An investment of 100 million—that's 100 million Chinese yuan, almost 20 billion Korean won.

KBS received funding from Daewoo and invested heavily to create the Korean spy thriller "IRIS" specifically for Lee Byung-hun.

Filming is currently underway. It's worth noting that the budget for the wildly popular Asian drama "Dae Jang Geum" was less than 100 billion Korean won.

This shows how ambitious KBS is this time.

SBS is his arch-rival.

KBS made "Boys Over Flowers," which is the Korean version of the original "Boys Over Flowers," while SBS made "You're Beautiful."

It was also broadcast at the same time.

Of course, it wasn't just fighting against KBS.

When MBC released "The Prince Who Turns into a Beggar," SBS produced "Brilliant Legacy."

Since the fight was already pretty tough, and given SBS's reputation for its low standards, impersonating him was the most suitable option.

When KBS discovers that it was SBS people who contacted and instigated Kwon Mi-yeon to cause trouble, they will find it reasonable, considering that they just put Lee Byung-hun in a major drama.

Let them fight it out; it will only drain their energy and delay the discovery of the truth.

As for whether the investigation will eventually lead to Zhang Yuan.

So what if they find out!

By the time I get the role, it'll be too late.

If this were in the country, I would have to consider the interests of all the parties involved.

Whether you, Korean, live or die is none of my business.

To put it another way, I'm still resisting the Korean wave, which is a great achievement.

Public opinion is an exceptionally sharp blade, the kind that kills without drawing blood.

Blame it on your own for being too flamboyant; you play games, but you always end up causing trouble.

This brings us to the legendary rapper PGONE.

Du Yilu went along with it. Has he ever been sued by a woman?
Because he only associates with one kind of slut and debauchery, nothing bad will happen.

It's easy to mess around with bad women, but it's a bit immoral to mess with respectable women.

There is a fundamental difference between casual sex and deceiving someone into having sex.

There's another reason why we asked Jiang Zhiqiang for help: he has resources and connections all over the world.

This had to happen in South Korea and then spread to the North American media.

Lee Byung-hun is now being sued for emotional deception and is seeking compensation; this has been reported by American media and made television.

So as soon as Harvey saw the news, he immediately called him.

He received the "signal" that Zhang Yuan had mentioned earlier.

This is a signal to launch a fierce attack on Lee Byung-hun's kidney reflex zone!

"I will contact Paramount, and we should have a result soon."

"Zhang, wish us good luck."

"Thank you for your help, Harvey."

"No need to thank me, it's what I should do," the old Jewish man replied.

Zhang Yuan: …

When have you ever been so polite?

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Regarding your image licensing, including comics, animation, toys, etc."

"Paramount's offer is 3%, but I'm confident I can negotiate 6% or even higher."

"But the condition is that you also have to give me a 30% commission on this part."

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath. This was the old Jewish man I knew.

That explains why you were being so polite.

They just saw the money and were planning to make another quick buck.

Previously, they had only discussed the actor's salary and commission for this film, but now that they felt it was a sure thing, they revealed their other ambitions as well.

Zhang Yuan was willing to pay this commission.

Because if I negotiate with Paramount, there's no guarantee we'll reach an agreement, and I might not even get the money.

Americans are world-class at falsifying accounts.

Don't say that Harry Potter was a loss, just like you did with Rowling.

With Harvey around, that old bastard will keep an eye on things for his own money; he's bound to get some.

However, 30% is impossible.

After some haggling, we reached an agreement on 10%, the same as his salary.

"Zhang, you are a fantastic collaborator," Harvey praised with a smile.

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhang Yuan hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

As long as everyone can make money, that's good.

Then he went to deal with Paramount.

Paramount's original support rate was 46%, but it leaned slightly more towards 37% because they valued the South Korean box office.

But now that his reputation is bad, it's hard to say whether it will help the Korean market.

Therefore, people in the marketing department will be cautious, because they will have to take the blame if problems arise.

Logically speaking, with Daewoo backing him up, it wouldn't be impossible for Lee Byung-hun to quickly reach a settlement or resolve this matter.

In the US, emotional disputes are not treated as seriously as in mainland China, which can lead to a "house collapse" phenomenon.

But when Harvey returned to Paramount, he easily won the majority of support.

"This Chinese kid is very accurate."

"I've got the crux of the problem," Harvey thought to himself.

Hasbro cast the crucial vote of support for Zhang Yuan!

Hasbro owns the intellectual property and has considerable influence over the films.

But now you, Lee Byung-hun, are embroiled in a sex scandal, and your character is in question.

I'm going to print actors' faces on my toys and sell them to children!

If I stick your face on, how am I supposed to sell?
The child's parents bought it, wrapped it up, and took it out as a Christmas present.

The kid had just started playing when the TV started broadcasting a news report about you causing your girlfriend's car to explode...

Parents definitely won't allow it.

The same applies to comics and animation; both face potential risks when targeting teenagers as their primary consumer group.

Hasbro may not necessarily use him, but they will not agree to use Lee Byung-hun.

This is enough!

I don't need the votes in favor; I just need my opponents to get the votes against.

So a few days later, Zhang Yuan received an "acceptance notice" from Paramount, asking him to go to Hollywood for makeup tests.

Back at home, Zhang Yuan poured himself another glass of wine.

Take a slurp, and the spiciness goes down your throat.

"Good start!"

He was confident of victory and felt extremely pleased.

The feeling of winning a battle from a thousand miles away, coupled with the faint crackling sound in my ears.

Although setting off fireworks is prohibited within the Second Ring Road, in fact, it's not allowed even within the Fifth Ring Road. You can only do it in suburban areas like Tongzhou, Miyun, Huairou, and Daxing.

But there are always parents who bring their children to play with tiny fireworks like sparklers and small sparklers in the alleys.

Forget about firecrackers or those big firecrackers.

If you dare to release it, the local police station will provide you with meals for the entire first month of the lunar calendar.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year combined with his modest success in his career allowed him to personally experience the joyous festivities.

Buzz!

Drop drop!
New Year's greetings via phone and text message arrived at this time, drifting in along with the auspicious New Year snow.

His life, however, became more and more exciting each year… (End of Chapter)
