Run, Best Actor!

"Sister Chai, help me out! Help me out!!!"

The shouts of the Taiwanese fool when he was taken away still echoed in the film crew.

"Producer Chai, I need an explanation!"

In the film crew's meeting room, Guo Xiaosi, with red eyes, stared intently at Chai Zhiping and said, "You know how tight our film crew's schedule is!"

Now that the Taiwanese idiot has been taken away for committing a crime, all his scenes have to be reshot. Who will pay for all that?!

"Director Guo, please calm down. It shouldn't have come to that point yet."

Chai Zhiping rubbed her temples and said, "I will try to minimize the impact of this matter."

"Think of a way? What way can you think of?!"

Guo Xiaosi was amused by the situation, "You still think this is a small matter?"

That scoundrel has been caught, and with over a kilogram of leaf oil! Do you know what that means?

"Uh... you can't be released on bail?"

Chai Zhiping was clearly a little dizzy.

"In mainland China, there is no such thing as bail; the only option is release on bail pending trial."

As the lead actress, Yang Mi, who was called over to hear the news, couldn't help but say, "But don't even think about the Taiwanese idiot. He committed a serious crime, a crime he's committed!"

Moreover, judging from the weight of the leaf oil he concealed, this already constitutes a criminal offense, and he is expected, no, certain to be sentenced.

"ah?!"

Chai Zhiping exclaimed in surprise, "Is it that serious? It's only a little over two pounds of leaf oil, is it really that big of a deal?"

"That's all?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's lips twitched slightly.

As for?

That's way too much!

You know, what they found in that guy's luggage was refined oil!

Usually, a few grams of oil are enough for a poisonous insect to use once.

It weighs over two pounds; if you use it every day, it'll last you a year!

Is that a small quantity?!

"Honey, given the current situation, what kind of sentence will that scoundrel get?"

After calming down a bit, Guo Xiaosi asked Yang Mi.

He knew that Yang Mi's father was a policeman and knew more about this than others.

"Based on the current situation, his possession of the oil has constituted a criminal offense. According to Article 348 of my country's Criminal Law and the judicial interpretation of the Supreme People's Court, more than two kilograms of leaf oil constitutes illegal possession of a 'relatively large quantity' of leaves, which is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or public surveillance, and a fine."

Yang Mi was indeed knowledgeable; she recited the specific articles of the Criminal Law very fluently.

Because she really memorized it.

Her father, Yang Dalin, was a police officer, specifically a former military officer from Beijing.

He is highly skilled in torture and can be considered an expert.

Over the years, he has interrogated quite a few film and television professionals who have been arrested.

So he knew that this industry wasn't as glamorous as it appeared on the surface.

Although Yang Dalin is a doting father and doesn't restrict his daughter's career, he is still afraid that his daughter will go astray.

After all, there are many temptations in this circle, and it's easy to make a mistake if you're not careful.

Therefore, in the year Yang Mi signed with Rong Xinda, Yang Dalin made a tough decision and demanded that Yang Mi memorize the Criminal Law.

In life, we should have some sense of awe and know what things we should not do.

If you do it, you have to pay the price!

To be fair, Yang Dalin's educational methods were effective.

Although Yang Mi has followed a similar path to her predecessor Fan Bingbing in recent years, also taking the route of becoming famous through controversy, she has been surrounded by controversy all the way.

However, unlike others, Yang Mi has always adhered to her bottom line.

This might explain why she always set her personal Weibo account to be visible to everyone from the beginning.

Because you have a clear conscience, you can be open and honest.

"A sentence of up to three years in prison?!"

Chai Zhiping exclaimed again, "No, this won't do! It absolutely won't work! If he's sentenced, Ah Dong's life will be ruined! He's so young, how can we let him go like this?!"

As she spoke, she turned to Guo Xiaosi, her voice pleading, "Director Guo, could you provide a certificate to the police proving that A-Dong is a first-time offender and will definitely change his ways in the future?"

"Producer Chai, you still don't understand the situation!"

Guo Xiaosi, who had closed his eyes after hearing Yang Mi's words, opened them again and replied, "The current situation is that the idiot broke the law! He broke the law in mainland China!"

Even for a crime like Tibetan conversion, which is extremely sensitive in mainland China, no one can save him now!

Anyone from mainland China knows how serious that guy's crime was.

It's inherently sensitive to the degree of [something].

After all, the beginning of modern history is the burning of opium at Humen and the subsequent Opium War.

For more than a hundred years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese people suffered greatly from drug abuse.

Therefore, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has strictly governed related crimes.

All aspects related to the degree of production, including large-scale planting, purification and production, transportation, sale, purchase, storage and use, have been written into the Criminal Law, and the earlier the stage, the greater the crime.

If it's only a final use, and considering it's a first offense, according to the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law," the sentence would likely be fifteen days of detention.

However, if the quantity constitutes a "relatively large quantity", then there's no need to think about it further.

That idiot is definitely going to go in and operate the sewing machine.

This is the butterfly effect.

In the original timeline, that guy was caught red-handed in 2014 while smoking marijuana at his small house.

Because the house is registered under the name of the housing group, the homeowner bears greater responsibility.

Therefore, Xiao Fangzi was sentenced to eight months in prison for allowing others to use drugs.

The Taiwanese fool was administratively detained for fifteen days.

During his administrative detention, he expressed regret for using drugs and promised not to touch them again. After his release, he returned to Taiwan for investigation. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office ruled that he could receive treatment at a hospital at his own expense in exchange for deferred prosecution, and would not need to undergo compulsory drug rehabilitation.

She remained active in the film and television industry afterward.

In March 2015, he appeared on the cover of fashion magazine GQ with his father and brother and shot a series of photos with the theme "Dress By Age". This was the first time the three of them had taken a photo shoot together in a studio.

It seems that the effect of the absorption rate is not significant for him.

But that was in Taiwan; the situation on the mainland is completely different.

On July 9, 2015, the urban youth film "Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul" starring Taiwanese actor Chun-zai was released. However, due to the impact of his drug use incident, almost all of his clear frontal shots in the film were cut out, and he was only presented in the form of close-ups, back views, side views, reflections, etc., supplemented by voice-over.

Furthermore, due to the impact of his drug use scandal, the fantasy film "Monster Hunt," starring him, was forced to be reshot with a different actor after filming and production were completed.

It can be said that his career in mainland China was completely ruined because of drug use, and he will never be able to come to the mainland to make money again.

The loss was enormous.

"So what do we do now?"

Even seasoned veteran Chai Zhiping panicked.

She had encountered this situation before, because the outrageousness of the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television industries was even greater than that of the mainland.

However, although the control over drugs is strict on the surface, it is done on a case-by-case basis.

For a fool like me from Taiwan, paying some price there can settle some things.

Unlike in mainland China, where there's basically no room for negotiation.

"We have no choice but to change the actor."

Guo Xiaosi said in a deep voice, "And we need to issue a statement quickly. The production team needs to sever ties with that idiot immediately. If we're too late, he'll drag us down with him!"

Seeing that Chai Zhiping was about to say something, Guo Xiaosi spoke up seriously, "Producer Chai, the way I'm doing this is the best way to minimize the impact on the crew. Otherwise, the entire crew will suffer because of that idiot!"

"But...but he's only 21!"

Chai Zhiping still brought up the boy's age, saying, "He's still so young..."

Being young is not an excuse for making mistakes.

Yang Mi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "The hard work of the entire crew shouldn't be wasted because of him."

"Xiao Si, and Mimi is right, we need to replace the actor immediately!"

At that moment, another voice came.

The group looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a serious face push open the conference room door and walk in.

"Mr. Zhang!"

Upon seeing the visitor, everyone in the room stood up and greeted him respectfully.

The visitor was Zhang Zhao, the president of Le Vision Pictures, the producer and distributor of "Tiny Times".

Clearly, what happened on set alarmed this boss.
