Actor: My Entertainment Era

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei have been in this circle for nearly 20 years, and it can be said that they have seen everything.

It has been admired by countless people, and also attacked by countless people.

Zhang Yuanjun used to think that those artists who said they didn’t want to be famous were a bit pretentious. But in this world of fame and fortune, fame means everything. Who wouldn’t want to be famous?

But Zhang Yuanjun, who is almost 40 years old, really wants to say that he doesn't want to be famous anymore, and Liu Yifei has a similar idea.

They have all experienced what it feels like to be extremely popular, and now they just want to calm down and make a few good movies. Besides, the popularity now is not what they imagined.

As the saying goes, two kinds of people can sleep in the same bed. Logically speaking, the couple are both under 40 years old and in their prime. They should not have such worldly thoughts.

But both of them became famous too early and too quickly. Zhang Yuanjun was already considered extremely popular - he won three major awards and the Cannes Film Festival at the age of 27 - and his wife was even more famous than him, having established an unparalleled national popularity at the age of 18.

They can really act like seniors and say to even the most popular young actors and actresses today: "I have experienced everything you have experienced before."

Therefore, the couple chose to reduce media exposure and return to low-key family life and work. If the media does not deliberately follow them, they are often not seen for half a year.

But even so, something went wrong.

As someone said, the audience is keen on creating gods, and also keen on pulling gods down from the altar.

In the past two years, Wu Jing got into trouble. Someone caught a screenshot of an expression on a variety show, saying that he had a tendency to domestic violence and was not good to Xie Nan.

This matter is extremely outrageous. A single expression in a split second can be interpreted like this.

Finally, Xie Nan came out to clarify the matter personally, which calmed the discussion.

Even a blind man can see that someone is plotting against Wu Jing behind the scenes. Wu Jing has now become the golden signboard of Chinese films. Many people want to schedule schedules with him, some want to be in his movies, and some want to give him money and people.

But Wu Jing only has two hands. No matter how capable he is, he can only do so much. If he takes on this company, he cannot take on that one, and this will inevitably offend some people.

Zhou Xun also collapsed. "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" made a big comeback after 6 years. She was called a fairy before, but now she is called a big Ru. Her classic works such as "Painted Skin" and "Suzhou River" were also punished.

Could Zhang Yuanjun, who has always maintained a stable golden body, escape?
So what if you stay at home and rarely go out? You can do whatever you want.

So what if there is big capital backing them? Some people are not afraid.

He is recognized as the number one Chinese film actor. How great it would be to dethrone him!

No one knew how the incident started, but suddenly one day, someone exposed Zhang Yuanjun online.

The Zhang family is planning to take advantage of three parties: "There are three siblings in the Zhang family. The eldest got his doctorate in the United States and started his business in the United States. He now spends 365 days a year abroad. The second child studied design in France and worked as a designer for international brands such as Chanel and Hermes. Zhang Yuanjun is the third child and stayed in China to study acting. The Zhang family started planning for China, the United States and Europe more than 360 years ago. No matter which side wins in the future international situation, it will not affect the status and wealth of the Zhang family."

He also said that the Zhang family’s overseas assets exceeded 10 billion yuan: “All of them were transferred out of China.”

At first, the Zhang family didn't know about these remarks. Who would care about such bizarre remarks?

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are still filming in a low-key manner, and their parents, siblings, and others are all living their lives as normal.

However, it is the Zhang family's consistently low-key style of doing things that gives such remarks room to survive.

No response? That means it's true?

Then things started to get out of control.

Indignant netizens began to denounce Zhang Yuanjun. In recent years, the financial issues of celebrities have been the focus of attention from all walks of life. Now it has been revealed that Zhang Yuanjun is suspected of transferring assets. This is unacceptable!
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei only heard about this a week after the incident.

Their first reaction was that it was ridiculous.

China, the United States and Europe are making a tripartite layout to transfer assets?
You might as well say that I'm rebelling!

"Tens of billions of assets?" Zhang Yuanjun sneered, "You look down on me like that? Our family owns more than that many mines overseas."

Liu Yifei was also calm and regarded these people as clowns: "It's boring."

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei don’t have to do anything themselves, someone will handle it for them.

Within three days, the relevant police in Beijing issued an announcement, saying that they had smashed a "water army company" that was suspected of spreading rumors online. The company's affiliated accounts involved more than 700 major platforms.

According to reports, the actual controller behind the company flew to Japan overnight and has been missing since.

That night, most of the posts slandering Zhang Yuanjun on various platforms were blocked.

After the official handling, it is the turn of capital. How the Zhang family will deal with the investors who fabricated this incident in the capital market is another story.

However, Liu Yifei still put the final word on the matter when it was almost over:

"I have been acting for 20 years, but I still often sigh that human hearts are unpredictable and the world is unpredictable. I feel that I have too little experience and not enough cultivation. When I was young, I comforted my husband and said that we just need to perform our roles well and leave everything to time and the audience. Now I realize that the world may not be what I thought. This time it was my husband who guided me, saying that it is not easy for everyone nowadays, and we should not care too much about everything and just live our own lives well. This matter is over, and everyone can go our separate ways." Liu Yifei's self-cultivation in front of the media goes without saying. "Human hearts are unpredictable and the world is unpredictable" is considered a dirty word to her.

In fact, this matter is very easy to understand. It is almost the same as the incident involving Wu Jing. Wu Jing is a golden signboard, and so is Zhang Yuanjun. Although major domestic and international awards have basically been demystified in China, Zhang Yuanjun's title as the No. 20 Chinese-language actor and his audience appeal accumulated over the past years cannot be underestimated.

In recent years, Zhang Yuanjun has been stubborn and refused to take on bad films or bring in new talents for the capital, which has offended many people invisibly.

Many bosses love and hate him.

To be more conspiratorial, Zhang Yuanjun is now the most popular actor in Hollywood from China and even in the whole of Asia, and he is also an actor who has entered the mainstream Hollywood market. He is far ahead of the second-place Korean-American actor Steven Yeun. For such an actor, many people want to kill him - there is no evidence for this statement, it is just speculation.

The matter is over, and the agent wants to arrange an event for Liu Yifei to show that her work and life are normal, but Liu Yifei is unwilling to accept another event: "The September cover of VOGUE is enough, there is no point in taking another one."

In fact, this year's cover was taken at the request of Bulgari. According to Liu Yifei's own plan, she should be preparing for a new drama that will start shooting at the end of the year and has no energy to take the cover.

The agent compromised and asked her to post some daily life photos on Weibo, or "post something for everyone to see", and Liu Yifei did not refuse.

Two days later, Liu Yifei appeared on the set of her husband's filming in Ning Province, and a video of Liu Yifei's visit to the set was leaked online.

Zhang Yuanjun saw his wife coming and extended his hand to greet her, saying with a smile: "You are an old couple, and you still like this."

Liu Yifei was about to throw the flowers away, but Zhang Yuanjun quickly took them and said with a smile, "It would be a pity to throw them away."

Many acquaintances on the set joked, "Only old couples would do this."

Liu Yifei first complained to the director: "I gave you my handsome husband, and he became so rough in just a few months."

The crew traveled all the way to the mining area in Ning Province for location shooting, and the conditions were indeed quite difficult.

The resident producer said, "I knew you came here today to clean up. Normally it's even shabbier than this!"

In the video, Liu Yifei is wearing no makeup and is dressed casually. She is chatting and laughing with her friends in the crew, looking very comfortable.

She sat on a small stool next to the director, watching the playback footage together, and said to Zhang Yuanjun: "You are not acting seriously."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't even refute what his wife said to him. Outsiders must have been happy to see this, because finally there is someone who can teach him a lesson.

But what the audience saw more through the video was Liu Yifei's considerate care for her hard-working husband.

Liu Yifei acted as a half-assistant. When Zhang Yuanjun finished filming a scene, Liu Yifei would hand him a bottle of water and use a small electric fan to blow air for him. She fully understood Zhang Yuanjun's habits on the set. Sometimes Zhang Yuanjun would not come out after filming and would stay on the set to get the feel for it. At this time, Liu Yifei would not go in to disturb him.

Zhang Yuanjun also told the staff on the set: "My wife is watching outside. If I don't perform well, I will be laughed at when I get home."

Liu Yifei said to the director off the set: "Torture him well. He has obviously been a bit slack in the past two years." As her husband's bedmate, Liu Yifei can best perceive the ups and downs of his condition.

This set visit video is not any particularly important information. It is just something released to show that Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun's life and work are all normal.

But some people just have nothing better to do and insist that Liu Yifei in the video was like a servant serving her master when she was blowing her husband's hair and passing him water.

Of course, more fans and netizens still like to watch Liu Yifei's daily life:

"Who would believe that she is already 37 years old and a mother of two children?"

"As expected, fame nourishes people. She is basically the same as she was 10 years ago."

Some SP fans also said that the 37-year-old Liu Yifei's figure and temperament have changed greatly, "she is so mature."

As usual, fans urged the sister to join the crew and film as soon as possible under the video.

That night, the crew stayed in the hotel.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you don't miss me at all." Zhang Yuanjun came back from the show, washed up, and fell asleep. Liu Yifei punched her husband.

"My dear wife." Zhang Yuanjun turned around and hugged his wife. "I'm filming in this mining area. I'm covered in dust and dirt every day. I'm exhausted like a grandson. How can I have the energy to think about anything else?" But he still pecked his wife gently without opening his eyes. "I'm so tired every day that I can't even get up."

"Really? Let me see." Liu Yifei smiled coquettishly and moved her hand down.

Zhang Yuanjun lay down and let his wife play with him, saying, "Have you forgotten that I'm 40? You really think I'm still in my twenties."

Liu Yifei also felt sorry for her husband, so she didn't do anything at night. She just said, "I'll make you two delicious meals when we get home after filming, so you can have a good rest."

The two fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, a big fan leaked the news: "Sister's new play has been negotiated, and the crew is still preparing, and it will start filming at the end of the year. But before that, Yifei will have a round of 5 drama performances in the theater next month. Friends who are interested can go and experience Yifei's charm on the stage up close. Zhang Yuanjun's new play should be finished soon, and he will not join the crew this year." (End of this chapter)
