Chapter 318 Sympathies

"What bad things have you done again?"

Shortly after he finished the call, Cheng Hao leisurely walked up the stairs to his side.

When I was talking to Zhuo Wei just now, I relied on her to keep watch.

"You are slandering me!" Zhang Yuan pointed at him in pretended anger.

"Always think the worst of me."

"You dare say that no one is going to be in trouble because of the phone call you just made."

Zhang Yuan held his chin with his hand and looked at the other party helplessly.

Having someone who knows you too well is both painful and warm.

"But it's worth celebrating that the enemy is in trouble." Cheng Hao came behind him and gently put his arms around his shoulders.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

He learned calligraphy, flute and dance in elementary school, and served as a host of children's programs on Qingdao TV in middle school.

He was admitted to all four colleges and universities he applied for in the college entrance examination. After entering the Central Academy of Drama, he also served as class monitor and league secretary.

Cheng Hao's intelligence and abilities are incomparable to ordinary people.

So a few days after she arrived at the hospital, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

She always felt that Zhang Yuan seemed to be holding back on something.

And it's a big deal.

It seemed that being beaten not only did not make him angry, but instead made him a little excited.

Even she, the person sleeping next to her, couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, and felt a little annoyed.

"He must be planning something beyond my imagination."

"Tell me something, please?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Hao moved closer to him and rubbed him hard.

Zhang Yuan felt two soft lumps caressing his back and said it was very difficult to bear.

"I just released some negative information about Zhang Weijian. It should be in the newspaper soon."

This matter is Zhang Weijian's own fault.

Because this bald guy once again made the same mistake he had made many times over the years.

Forget righteousness when you see little profit!
At the end of 02, with the help of "The Monkey King" invested by Hua Ge who helped him in adversity, Zhang Weijian once again proved that he could still play the Monkey King and become a big hit even after leaving TVB!
Later, the famous screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuen from Taiwan...it was he who wrote "Limping Ho" and "The Emperor of Shanghai", two masterpieces that won and were nominated for the Academy Awards.

His son Xiao Yuanyi is also very famous. Not only does he have many scandals, but the famous "3D Sex and Zen" is also his masterpiece.

Xiao Ruoyuan took a fancy to Zhang Weijian, who was on the rise again, and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with him.

He is really not a black guy. His contract lasts until mid-05, which is really two and a half years.

In these two and a half years, he will shoot three TV series for Xiao Ruoyuen.

It is equivalent to a long-term cooperation agreement.

Everything was going well at the beginning. The two sides cooperated and filmed "Kung Fu Soccer", a TV series that was obviously imitating Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer".

Then, Zhang Weijian's old illness came back again.

I'm famous now, it's time to raise the price!

He was obviously not satisfied with the remuneration given by Xiao Ruoyuan.

Because Boss Xiao paid him according to the price when he just became popular, but now he wants the price of a first-tier Hong Kong TV star.

Of course the other party refused.

You just became famous again, I cooperated with you and made a movie for you, but you have no gratitude at all!
But Zhang Weijian was thinking that the price would change every day. Every movie I made was a hit, so I would definitely have to increase the price.

The two sides failed to reach an agreement.

Zhang Weijian simply ignored the other party and cooperated with Wang Jing, signed the film "Little Fish and Flower", and received a salary of several million.

Moreover, with Wang Jing's mediation, Guangtou also reconciled with TVB. Before the filming of "Little Fish and Flower" was completed, he signed the contract for "The Smart Chef".

Just in TVB, Zhang Weijian has achieved the achievement of a "slave of three surnames".

"The Smart Chef" will start filming next year.

Then the problem arises. According to the contract with Xiao Ruoyuen, Baldy still owes two films to be shot.

By the time the filming of "The Smart Chef" is completed, the contract period will basically be up in mid-05.

Therefore, Zhang Weijian must have breached the contract!
This man went back on his word and ignored the contract for the sake of money. His behavior is definitely worth the suffering he has endured.

He never learns his lesson!
In his previous life, Xiao Ruoyuan waited until after the Chinese New Year in 05 before suddenly launching an attack and sued Zhang Weijian's agency M8.

This caught the bald guy off guard!
In the end, it was Andy Lau, the big brother of Hong Kong Island, who stepped in and helped him get in touch with Mrs. Lam, the boss lady of Media Asia Films.

Mrs. Lin took action to settle the matter with the Xiao father and son, but Zhang Weijian also had to join her company and make money for her.

Now that Zhang Yuan has found someone to expose it in advance, it will definitely disrupt the rhythm of the Xiao family's father and son.

At the same time, it will give Zhang Weijian more time to resolve the problem.

But none of this matters. He doesn't care at all about how the matter between Baldy and the Xiao father and son is resolved.

His purpose is to put pressure on Baldy and Wang Jing!

Because once he is exposed, the Xiao father and son will have no choice but to file a lawsuit in advance, and in this way, Zhang Weijian will have to bear the trouble of the lawsuit.

"Even if we expose his dirty laundry, it won't change the current situation, right?" Cheng Hao thought about it for a while after hearing this, but he was still confused.

"It can only be regarded as revenge at best."

"No, it's not just revenge. Once Zhang Weijian is involved in a lawsuit, he will be overwhelmed." Zhang Yuan replied calmly.

"Does it help to give them a little trouble?"

"A minor annoyance, of no use."

"But when a bunch of troubles come together, it will be useful." Zhang Yuan touched Cheng Hao's palm and frowned slightly.

Her hands had become quite rough over the past few days, all from taking care of him, washing and cleaning them, which made him feel a little distressed.

“I got a call earlier.”

"The Film Association issued a joint statement on this matter."

"what?"

"The Chinese Musicians Association will also issue a joint announcement."

"What!"

"Mr. Wang from Huayi will come over specially soon."

"what!"

Cheng Hao was surprised again and again.

She couldn't believe that several powerful forces suddenly appeared and intervened in this matter.

"These things combined are enough trouble."

"enough!"

Cheng Hao thought, let alone all of them, just one of them would be enough to give those Hong Kong guys a headache.

In fact, Cheng Hao has also heard about many evil deeds committed by Hong Kong film crews.

Beating is not uncommon.

It is very common for Hong Kong directors to sleep with all the leading actors in the crew in mainland China.

But what is even more terrifying is that this group of Hong Kong guys brought the bad habits of the Hong Kong film industry's dark ages to the mainland.

Unspoken rules?
That's still polite.

A few big men will just come and pin you to the ground, and rape you in front of everyone. They don't treat you as a human being at all.

Giving drugs and the like is already considered "taking a lot of effort".

Only the female stars know how perverted the Hong Kong bosses were back then.

Why did Liu Xiaoli take care of the crew throughout the whole process?

Liu Qianqian brought money into the group, and she was not afraid of the unspoken rules because she didn't need them.

But if some domineering lunatics come and rape my daughter, I won't even have a place to cry.

The early years when coal bosses and Hong Kong circles were rampant were quite dark.

Later, in the era of Internet platforms of major Internet companies, the atmosphere became much fresher.

Compared with the spring rolls and golf games 20 or 30 years ago, choosing a concubine for a concubine is child's play.

"Hmph, I guess that's enough for them!" She also felt happy in her heart.

"But how do I feel?"

"Obviously it was Wang Bozhao who got beaten more severely, but you seem to be the protagonist of this incident?"

nonsense.

The Chinese Music Association came here for me.

Huayi came for me.

Half of the members of the Film Association must be here for me.

If I am not the protagonist, then who is?

"Because my role in this matter is crucial."

"The mainland film and television industry has been unhappy with the Hong Kong industry for more than a day or two."

"It's possible to take advantage of the opportunity to undermine the opponent's prestige, or even start an all-out war."

"And in any war, spiritual leaders are needed."

"Just like every country creates war heroes to inspire their compatriots."

"It is best to find such heroes directly on the battlefield, and then publicize them widely to set an example and inspire people."

"And in this case, I am best suited to be cast as this 'hero'."

He stopped the two "thugs" from continuing their attack on Wang Bozhao.

He was also attacked by the opponent.

Moreover, in this land where fighting back is considered a fight, he deliberately did not take action, not giving the other party an excuse to bite back. Cheng Hao's eyes flickered, hesitant.

She now admires Zhang Yuan a little, but is also a little afraid of him.

"But if you do this, you will become a target of public criticism."

"The mainland film and television circles will support you, but the Hong Kong circle and forces related to the Hong Kong circle will target you because of this!"

Cheng Hao has heard a lot about the horrors of the Hong Kong circle, and she is really worried that Zhang Yuan will get into big trouble because of this.

"Yes, it does, so I have made preparations for this matter." Zhang Yuan said calmly.

This was the reason why he stole the memory card but did not expose it.

Because of this card and its contents, he will have the final say on what happened at that time.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

"I can handle it." He patted Cheng Hao's arm gently and comforted him.

"Well, I believe you."

"However, if you have any difficulties, please be sure to tell me. One more person always means more strength." Cheng Hao said, and gently pressed her cheek against him.

"Now I need your help with something."

"what's up?"

"Leave the hospital." Zhang Yuan turned around and looked at him: "People from the Film Association, the Chinese Music Association, and Huayi will all be here."

"You can't stay here any longer."

"Okay, I understand." This time she responded softly without any stubbornness.

Then he leaned close to his ear.

"I'll buy the nurse's uniform and wait for you in the capital."

Damn it, you’re attacking my weak spot again!
After returning to the ward, Cheng Hao packed up his things, chatted with him for a while, and then left reluctantly.

"Leaving?" Teacher Wang Bozhao's health has recovered a little in the past few days, and he has more strength to speak.

"Well, let's go."

"No one else will come." If he hadn't been covered in wounds and had difficulty moving, he would have left long ago.

I've been a light bulb these days...

"Okay, finally I have some peace and quiet..." Wang Bozhao relaxed his back and thought he could finally have a good rest.

But just as he finished speaking, he heard two female voices coming from outside the ward door.

"is it here?"

"The door number is correct."

Wang Bozhao turned around and looked at Zhang Yuan with resentful eyes.

He didn't even have to guess, he was definitely looking for this guy.

What a fate I have!
Click, the door handle turned, and then a round head popped in and took a look inside.

After seeing Zhang Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away.

"Mom, there's a panda in the ward."

Zhang Yuan: …

Have you ever seen a panda with only one black eye?

"Xixi, don't talk nonsense." With a mature and soft voice, Liu Xiaoli walked in with a fruit basket and pushed her baby daughter.

When Wang Bozhao saw Liu Qianqian sticking her head in just now, his eyes lit up.

"Why is she here too!"

Wang Bozhao remembered that when she was acting in Golden Age, this girl was such a layman that she trembled when she spoke her lines.

"It seems to be more beautiful than in previous years."

After Liu Xiaoli came in, a medical miracle happened to Teacher Wang.

He sat up from the bed.

"It still looks better!"

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuan scratched his head.

He deliberately said something to irritate Liu Xixi that day just to make her angry. Fortunately, she should not disturb him in the near future.

After all, it would be useful if he called the other people over.

But not only was she useless, she had just been cyberbullied and it was time for her to take a break.

It is not easy to come all the way from the imperial capital to Hengdian.

"Zhang Yuan, you too, didn't tell us when such a big problem happened."

"It's only right that we should come and see you." Liu Xiaoli was a good person after all, and she acted as if she was blaming him for not treating her and his daughter as his own family.

"Thank you, thank you." Looking at the pile of apples in the fruit basket, Zhang Yuan felt a sour stomachache.

"Yeah, you didn't tell me, and I only found out after watching TV!" Xixi narrowed her eyes and pointed her hand at him.

"It's not that you don't treat me as a friend!"

How did she know?

The main reason is that after Zhang Yuan’s incident, her online limelight was stolen.

The number of posts discussing the rumors about her decreased rapidly, and they were all replaced by news about Zhang Yuan flirting with a Hong Kong actress.

When Liu Qianqian saw this, she was stunned.

I quickly found a photo of Charlene Choi and took a look.

Then she looked in the mirror again.

"Pooh!"

"False news!"

She made the judgment with certainty.

The basis for judgment is...

"No one is as pretty as me, so he is too lazy to tease her."

Although Zhang Yuan was very grateful for the trust these women had in him, it seemed that the source of this trust was distrust.

At the same time, the manic and depressed mood that was originally caused by Zhang Yuan's statement that he wanted to "broaden his horizons" regarding her being a "transgender person" also disappeared by 70% at this time.

After being mad at Zhang Yuan these days, she has been hiding at home and making fun of people every day.

At this moment, she felt a strange sense of sympathy for Zhang Yuan's experience.

"It turns out that he was bullied online just like me."

After checking, I found out that he was beaten by someone on the crew.

"Yeah, I know!"

"No wonder he was so irritating when he talked to me, he must have been brain damaged!"

"Poor Zhang Yuan, he was not as smart as me, and he was beaten up."

She quickly told her mother.

Liu Xiaoli is a middle-aged woman after all, with a calm mind, and she immediately went around to find out the news.

After determining the general situation, she decided to bring her daughter to visit.

Firstly, my daughter has worked with Zhang Yuan many times, so it would be inappropriate not to come, considering her feelings.

Secondly, although according to the information she received, the current situation was not favorable to Zhang Yuan... before she came, she did not know about the actions of the Film Association and the Chinese Music Association.

But she always vaguely felt that Zhang Yuan should be able to survive this disaster.

So I took Xixi here by plane in person.

It is always better to provide help when it is needed than to add icing on the cake after the fact.

There was a chair next to Zhang Yuan's bed. After Xixi sat down, Liu Xiaoli had to stand.

Even though she is the elder, Zhang Yuan can't get up and give his bed to her.

"Mother Liu, please sit down." Teacher Wang's medical miracle became more and more intense. He stood up directly, carrying the chair beside his bed, and came to Liu Xiaoli.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. You are not feeling well, so please don't get up."

When Zhang Yuan saw him like that, he thought that there were quite a few men around him who were interested in Liu Xiaoli.

Although the aunt is a little older, her attractiveness has not diminished at all.

Maybe for some people, it even adds...

After the mother and daughter sat down, they started to greet Zhang Yuan.

Liu Qianqian looked at his dark circles carefully, slowly raised her hand, and touched it lightly as if she was caressing a baby.

"Does it still hurt?"

"is acceptable."

"You don't have to act strong... Hey, why are my hands black?"

Zhang Yuan quickly held down her arm.

Cheng Hao just put on some makeup before leaving...

"Let's not talk about my business anymore. It's too troublesome and I'm too lazy to talk about it." Zhang Yuan quickly changed the subject.

Now that the matter was unresolved, he didn't want any situation where the news might leak out.

"How are you doing?"

"As for me... I'll leave it at that." Xixi's eyes suddenly dimmed.

It's clear from looking at her expression that she hasn't gotten over the hurdle in her heart yet.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and decided to give her a "talk therapy"... (End of this chapter)
