Chinese Actress Zhang Ziyi Scandal With Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai
Who would have thought that Zhang Ziyi’s body would cost 2 million Singapore dollars per night. Now that’s really shocking! I wouldn’t be so surprised if she had high profile affair with some powerful figure but to spend a night for that cash seems very extravagant. Now I know why she nabbed the role for Memoirs of a Geisha. She truly lives up to her screen alter ego.
According to various sources that have been rampant on the matter, Zhang has been barred from leaving the country, where she is currently shooting “The Grandmasters”, while the investigations are ongoing. This may explain why she has refused to appear at the Cannes Film Festival, where her upcoming movie “Dangerous Liaisons” is contending. She has also refused an invitation to present the Palme d’Or award at the festival.
Zhang’s involvement in the scandal with Bo, was believed to have been arranged by another government official and an associate of Bo, Xu Ming, the founder and chairman of the Dailian Shide Group.The actress had agreed to sleep with Bo for 10 million Yuan (approximately SG$2 million) and they had at least 10 encounters in between 2004 to 2007, according to the Chinese media.
Zhang was also believed to have been introduced to other officials through Xu, and slept with them to rake in about 700 million Yuan (SG$141.7 million) from the transactions that took place between 2004 and 2007.
