On the evening of January 2, "Xinjing Daily" published an article titled "The behind-the-scenes boss of Jinding Holdings may be surnamed Zhang, not Wang". The article pointed out: "We all know that the shares of Jinding Holdings are mainly in the hands of the Fan Yongzhong brothers and two investment companies. Of these two investment companies, one is a normal company, and the other is a shell company called Tianyuan Culture, and the legal person is called Chen Caixia. We know that Shishang Culture, a subsidiary of Jinding Holdings, acquired three film and television companies at sky-high prices within three years, and the bosses of these three film and television companies are all Zhang Ran's students. We wondered if there was some kind of connection between this Chen Caixia and Zhang Ran's student? After investigation, we found an astonishing fact. Zhang Jingchu's brother Zhang Jingyu's mother-in-law is called Chen Caixia......"
The article of "Xinjing Daily" did not give a direct conclusion, but the whole article has one meaning, the bosses behind Jinding Holdings are not Wanda and the Wang family, but Zhang Ran and the peak of the century, and the recent series of events are actually to hit Wanda's stock price.
After the article of "Xinjing Daily" was issued, coupled with the shouting of the media and self-media of the Wanda system, public opinion suddenly turned. The terminator said that Wang Sichong, the boss behind Jinding Holdings, had no evidence at all, but the article in Xinjing Daily produced two important evidences, that Jinding Holdings had acquired three companies founded by Zhang Ran's students at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan, and that Zhang Jingyu's mother-in-law held a large number of shares in Jinding Holdings. In this case, most netizens believe that what "Xinjing Daily" said is true, and Zhang Ran's Weibo is a crusade.
In the past, when this kind of thing happened, Zhang Ran's lawyer and the peak of the century would quickly come out to refute the rumors, but this time Zhang Ran did not react. Now netizens are even more angry, especially the investors of Jinding Holdings, who directly asked Zhang Ran to repay the money.
"Are the current celebrities so irresponsible, the platform you invested in, Jinding Investment, doesn't pay back the money, and doesn't say a word, how much people's hard-earned money is this, is this the value of stars?"
"It's a man who stands up and says something, I just want to ask, Zhang Ran, why are you embarrassed to come out and face these people who trust you? You are not a simple spokesperson, your eldest brother is a partner of the platform! Now do you want to give everyone an explanation, even if it is a word, don't ignore it, it's too disappointing!"
With the increase in the number of denunciators, the shareholders of Jinding Holdings and Wan Da's water army launched the topic of "summoning Zhang Ran to repay the money together" on Weibo, and in front of the Lin'an Century Shadow Capital, someone even pulled up a banner that read, "Zhang Ran pays me back my hard-earned money". Some overseas media that received money also began to report on the incident in a big way, with the headline "Zhang Ran is suspected of manipulating the stock price, and the investor Century Shadow is forced to go into debt".
Zhang Ran's actions made Wang Sichong very puzzled, this was completely illogical, he couldn't understand what Zhang Ran was doing, but he felt that Zhang Ran might be arranging something in secret. In this case, it is necessary to continue to attack, so that Zhang Ran has no time to take care of Wanda, so as to resolve Wanda's crisis. Wang Sichong picked up his mobile phone and dialed Harvey's number, asking him to get Liu Yifei as soon as possible and let Liu Yifei come out to speak. Harvey told Wang Sichong that he had made an appointment with Liu Yifei and it would be done soon.
At 11 a.m. the next day, Liu Yifei walked into the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles and met Harvey and his female assistant. Harvey told Liu Yifei that he was preparing a movie and needed a role, and he felt that Liu Yifei was a good candidate. Harvey told Liu Yifei to have lunch together in a restaurant first, and then talk about the movie. Liu Yifei naturally wouldn't refuse, so he went to the restaurant with Harvey and his female assistant.
After the three sat down, Harvey ordered vodka and diet soda, while Liu Yifei ordered juice. Harvey seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Yifei's choice, and told the waiter to change Liu Yifei to vodka and diet soda. But Liu Yifei refused: "I'm sorry, I don't like vodka and diet soda, I want juice." Harvey's attitude was very resolute: "I want you to listen to me!" Liu Yifei's attitude was also very resolute: "No, I am the one who drinks the drink, and I only want juice." โ
Harvey's eyes flashed, and he realized that Liu Yifei was a girl with a very firm heart and a lot of ideas. Harvey has been in the entertainment industry for 30 years and has tricked countless girls into bed. At the beginning of his contact with these girls, he would always do something coercive or say something out of the ordinary. For example, let the girl change the drink and replace it with vodka. If the girl was obviously embarrassed, but still silently agreed. Harvey knew that the girls were more afraid, and even if something happened, they would rather have a rotten stomach than make a noise. When encountering such girls, Harvey would often take them back to the room, and then ask them to be massaged, and they were forced to do so.
A girl with a resolute attitude like Liu Yifei is more difficult to deal with, and Harvey generally won't provoke it. Harvey called Liu Yifei today, not to trick her into bed, but to talk to her about cooperation. However, if there is a chance to trick Liu Yifei into bed, he will not refuse, after all, Liu Yifei is a very beautiful girl.
Harvey argued with Liu Yifei for several rounds, and finally turned to the waiter and said, "Give her vodka and diet soda, and I'm the one who pays!"
Liu Yifei smiled, but did not refute. Seeing that Liu Yifei didn't speak, Harvey thought that he had won, and also smiled. The waiter soon returned with vodka and diet soda, which were placed next to Liu Yifei's cup. Harvey said proudly: "Grab your vodka, let's clink glasses." Liu Yifei said lightly: "I'm really sorry, I won't drink." โ
Harvey said angrily: "Why?" Liu Yifei said lightly: "I don't like it." Harvey insisted, "You have to drink." Liu Yifei kept a smile on his face: "I won't drink." Harvey stared at Liu Yifei for several seconds, and said viciously: "Do you know that no one dares to refuse me in Hollywood?"
Liu Yifei knows that Harvey has a lot of energy, but to say that no one dares to refuse him in Hollywood, it is definitely bragging, the six bosses, and Zhang Ran, which of these people will take Harvey in their eyes. But Liu Yifei would definitely not say it, it would be too much of a slap in the face, she smiled and was silent.
Seeing that Liu Yifei didn't speak, Harvey thought she was scared, and began to brag about her great achievements: "Do you know who has been thanked the most times at the Oscars? It's not God, it's me Harvey." In Hollywood, I'm a famous gold pointer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence all became popular with my help. Nicole Gee Deman, Marion Cotillard, Keita Winslet, they all won the Oscars with my help.
British actress Judi Dench won the Golden Globe for Best Actress with my help, and you know how she thanked me? One day, she invited me to the Four Seasons restaurant and said she wanted to surprise me. Then she shocked everyone in front of a crowd of guests, including celebrities such as Carly Simon, Mike Nichols, Nora Epron, and other film professionals. She unbuttoned her pants to reveal her hips, so everyone could see the tattoos on them. She said, "I put your name tattooed on my hip to show my gratitude." โ
Harvey lowered his voice and said: "I have helped many female stars and brought them to the peak of their lives. They took the initiative to sleep with me in order to thank me. I've slept with a lot of female celebrities. They all liked me and said I was as strong as a bull. Speaking of this, Harvey's greedy gaze swept over Liu Yifei's chest, and said in a joking tone: "I hope I can sleep with you, I hope I can do you." โ
Liu Yifei's face sank instantly: "Mr. Weinstein, if you invite me to come and say this kind of thing, then I don't think we have anything to talk about." โ
Seeing Liu Yifei's reaction so fiercely, Harvey spread his hands and said, "I'm joking." Remember "Life is Beautiful"? After Guido met Dora, Guido said that, which is actually a compliment, a compliment to your sexiness. Of course, you are Oriental and may not be used to such compliments. He picked up his glass and said, "Now do as I say, take your vodka!"
Liu Yifei said coldly: "I've said many times that I don't drink vodka and diet soda." Seeing that Liu Yifei didn't eat oil and salt, Harvey knew that it was useless to say more, so he said helplessly: "You are the most stubborn girl I've ever seen!" Liu Yifei said lightly: "Maybe!"
Harvey didn't force Liu Yifei anymore, and the two of them ate quietly. After the meal, Harvey asked Liu Yifei to go to his room to talk about the movie. Liu Yifei hesitated, but still went upstairs with Harvey. Because Harvey said he wanted to give her the role, it was hard to refuse. Liu Yifei has heard a lot of legends about Harvey, and it is said that he has violated many female actors. However, after Liu Yifei arrived in Hollywood, he made all action movies. In order to perform these scenes well, she did a lot of martial arts training. Although she is not up to the level of a professional fighter, she is still confident in dealing with a dead fat man like Harvey who is safe and does not know how to fight.
When she arrived at Harvey's room, Harvey didn't embarrass Liu Yifei, asked the assistant to pour her a glass of juice, and then sent the assistant away. Harvey looked at Liu Yifei and said slowly: "You are an excellent actor, with excellent acting skills, and excellent appearance, the only thing you lack is opportunity." And I can give you this opportunity to support you with all my might. I can ask Quentin and other top directors to tailor it for you, win you an Oscar, and let you surpass Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi to become a real superstar. โ
Liu Yifei's heart beat violently, these dreamed things suddenly appeared in front of her, and it was impossible for her not to be moved. However, it is really difficult to say whether Harvey really likes her acting skills or has other plans, she thinks she should ask clearly, so she said: "I'm afraid there are conditions for praising me, right?"
Harvey smiled, "Yes, we need you to do me a favor." โ
Liu Yifei was stunned: "What's the hurry?"
Harvey said slowly: "We want you to stand up and tell the public that when you were 14 years old, when Zhang Ran taught you to act, he lured you and violated you!"
Liu Yifei looked at Harvey in surprise, and couldn't believe his ears. She knew that Harvey and Zhang Ran had a conflict, but she dreamed that Harvey would do this, it was really terrible, so shameless! She had been in Hollywood for several years, and she knew what it would bring if she stood up and told this lie. She shook her head and said, "Zhang Ran didn't do that, and I don't want to lie like that!"
Seeing Liu Yifei say this, Harvey persuaded: "Zhang Ran deceived your feelings and used you as a test object for performance." He treats you like that, don't you hate him? Don't you want to see him ruined? As long as you stand up and accuse Zhang Ran, not only will you get revenge, but we will ask top directors to build you, just like Nicole Kidman and them, you look at their achievements now. โ
Liu Yifei hated Zhang Ran a little at first, thinking that he was too ruthless, but after so many years, she didn't hate it anymore, and shook her head lightly and said: "I will never do this kind of thing, people live for a lifetime, at least they must be worthy of their conscience." Liu Yifei felt that there was no need to talk about it anymore, so she got up and said, "Since you are looking for me for this matter, there is nothing to talk about." Mr. Weinstein, it's time for me to go back!"
