Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

The face of the person in the picture was very familiar, and not much time had passed, so Xia Yuan naturally recognized him at a glance.

However, this coincidence that I had never taken to heart was brought up again today?

Although he knew before that the homeless people in America were special, they were just ordinary people who had fallen into trouble.

But he really never thought that a homeless person he met by chance would have such a past?

Edward Chris
In fact, he had heard of this name, because he had seen his movies before. Moreover, just this year, when he was still in China, he and his senior sister often watched movies at home with a projector when they had nothing to do on Saturdays and Sundays. Many of them starred Edward Chris.

It can be said that Chris is also a very good Hollywood actor, and his acting skills are very good and generally very stable.

He was even once hailed as the actor most likely to be nominated for an Oscar.

I just don’t know why there has been less and less news in recent years.

Originally, Xia Yuan didn't pay much attention to him as a Hollywood actor. He thought maybe he just retired from the entertainment industry, so he didn't care much about it.

But I didn’t expect that this movie star would actually go wandering?

This made Xia Yuan's confused colleagues also surprised. Is the country of America so magical?

Not to mention that being a star is a high-income group, after filming so many movies, it is enough for people to save up a large fortune, right? Chris has been filming for so many years, without saying anything, he must have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars.

But such a once glorious and famous person has fallen to the point of being homeless today?
And I just happened to run into it myself?
Xia Yuan immediately became interested and started searching for related reports on his browser.

Soon, he searched out a bunch of relevant information, and after slowly understanding it, he finally figured out what had happened.

Edward Chris was sued by his ex-wife, accused of domestic violence and cheating.

Various negative information was exposed.

Including gambling heavily in casinos, losing millions of dollars overnight, and drinking alcohol.

There was a lot of curses.

In this country that advocates human rights, domestic violence is also one of the unforgivable crimes. As a public figure, once it is revealed that you have a tendency to domestic violence, there will be no redemption.

In the end, the ex-wife divorced Chris under the court's ruling, the child was given to her, and Chris was left with nothing.

His ex-wife is also an actress, but her previous status was not comparable to Chris's.

Through this incident, Chris' ex-wife became a public figure, receiving various interviews and receiving caring greetings from all over the Internet.

The ex-wife also said that she would work hard to get over the pain of betrayal and adjust herself.

Soon after, news came out that she was in love with another male movie star, and then she remarried. Her life was going well and she received many film offers.

Recently, they are at the peak of their careers. The couple both joined the new movie "The Last Afterglow" to be produced by 21st Century Fox Film, playing the male and female protagonists.

As for Edward Chris?

It seems to have been forgotten in a corner, no one cares about it, and no one is willing to mention it. Even if news about it occasionally comes out, it is all about how miserable it is.

From initially delivering takeout food, to driving an online taxi, and then to later being recognized by others while doing odd jobs in restaurants.

Until he was unable to repay his debts and became bankrupt, becoming a homeless person.

It seems that the ultimate purpose of his existence is just to let people occasionally hear about his downfall and have it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Xia Yuan looked at it in silence for a long time, and finally sighed.

What a twist of fate! Perhaps this is the impermanence of life. No one can imagine whether a big shot who is now at the peak of his career will become homeless in the future because of his downfall.

Isn’t it the same as what happened to Huo Chunliang before?

But compared with Edward Chris, Huo Chunliang was obviously much luckier. He did not wander around, but lived a poor but fulfilling life like an ordinary person.

This is also due to the national conditions of Hanxia. The normality of Hanxia as a country allows you to not starve to death, but to continue living, to live as a human being, and even to have the hope of starting over.

Instead of being reduced to a cold, low-quality population data no different from livestock.

However, after reading Chris's life story, he also had some thoughts.

Isn't he worried about the actors now? The connection with the headhunting company is broken, so he can only look for actors himself, which is very inefficient and there are not many professional actors he can find.

Not to mention someone like Edward Chris, who has superb acting skills.

To be fair, if he wanted to hire Chris to act in a movie during the period when he was filming "Let the Bullets Fly", he couldn't even afford it. At that time, Chris was one of those high-paid superstars that he can't hire now. His salary once reached as high as 2000 million US dollars per movie.

Now, isn’t there an opportunity in front of you?
And the most crucial point is that the role of Biederman needs to interpret different states in several stages, including being domineering and unrivaled in glory when he is in glory, and being confused and hopeless when he is in despair.

Isn't Chris just right?

As for the black material about him
In Xia Yuan's world, are there such things as bad actors?
Anyway, apart from the two major red flags, that is, drug-related and insulting letters, are the others considered bad deeds? Moreover, Xia Yuan always felt that there was something wrong with the news about Chris.

Because he wasn't involved in drugs!

You know, America is a place where drugs are rampant. Drug involvement is not a big deal in the American entertainment industry. It is not even a bad thing, and it is not considered a bad deed.

But even in this environment, Chris, who had never touched drugs, could resist the temptation.

Xia Yuan didn't believe that such a person could be so bad.

So, if others can act, why can't Chris?

Besides, they just want to lose money, so do they need to consider the impact of using bad actors?

Xia Yuan did what he said and immediately found the senior student and told her about Chris.

Tang Ying fully agreed.

He went out immediately, and after searching for a while, he finally found his target.

In a corner of a flower bed, he found Edward Chris, who was silently treating his wounds alone. Perhaps he had used some of the money Xia Yuan gave him yesterday to buy medicine and gauze at the pharmacy to treat the wound on his head.

Obviously, he was beaten by those young people in the video he just saw.

Xia Yuan walked over: "Hello, Mr. Chris."

Edward Chris was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Xia Yuan's familiar face.

He was a little overwhelmed and wanted to stand up: "Hey, sir, hello, see you again, thank you for your help yesterday."

He is very polite. Even when he is down and out, the way he treats people makes people feel comfortable.

How bad can such a person be?

As for domestic violence? Maybe there is something else hidden behind the reports?

As someone who has experienced the media's cruelty, Xia Yuan never believes anything the media says.

"When I saw your video, I remembered that I had watched your movie before." Xia Yuan said.

"There's no need to mention the past glory and present burden." Edward Chris just shook his head.

"How much do you owe the bank?" Xia Yuan asked.

"It's a sky-high price, sir. I can never pay it back in my lifetime. It's my penalty, sir." Edward Chris shook his head.

"If there is an opportunity in front of you now, would you be willing to come back to continue acting and pay off your debts?" Xia Yuan asked.

"What?" Chris was stunned.

"I'm a director from Hanxia. I'm planning to make a new movie and I'm in urgent need of a leading actor. I can pay you $50 for one movie." Xia Yuan said, getting straight to the point: "I just don't know if you're willing."

50 US dollars.
A chance to remake the film?

Edward Chris was stunned.

Isn't he dreaming?
Obviously, he himself thinks that his life is over. He may waste his whole life, repeat his current misery, and finally die in injustice.

But at this time, a stranger who had once been kind to him was willing to help him?
Even the lover whom he once deeply loved betrayed him and left at that moment. He had forgotten what trust felt like.

Is there anyone who is willing to believe in himself now?
"Aren't you worried that I'll ruin the movie?" Edward Chris asked. "I'm a person with so much dirt on me."

"Are media reports necessarily true?" Xia Yuan asked.

Xia Yuan had already made up his mind until the other party did not agree immediately because he was afraid that his own reasons would affect Xia Yuan's movie.

His vision was not wrong, Chris was not the kind of person the media reported him to be.

"Since I dare to invite you, I must have my reasons. You don't need to worry about anything. You just need to answer me whether you are willing or not." Xia Yuan asked.

"I do!!" Edward Chris nodded frantically.

"Deal." Xia Yuan smiled.

Finally, the candidate for the most unstable and difficult role was officially finalized.

It was just fate. He never expected that he would end up finding a down-and-out homeless man to play one of the leading roles.

However, after all the actors were finalized, the next thing to do was very simple.

Over at the crew, the set has already been built.
Let’s start shooting! (End of this chapter)
