On this day, the busiest streets of Los Angeles were devoid of their usual hustle and bustle.
The entire road was deserted, except for the police lines that had been set up in advance on both sides, which were packed with people, making it look very crowded and lively. Security personnel on motorcycles were constantly moving back and forth on both sides of the road, carefully maintaining order at the scene to prevent pedestrians from rushing out of the police lines and entering the main road for vehicles.
On another road, Han Zaiyu, who had to temporarily change routes due to being stopped, couldn't help but sit up straight: "What's going on over there? Is there some important event recently?"
An Yuanshan glanced at him but didn't answer. Only his assistant seemed hesitant to speak.
"What? Is there something you haven't told me?"
Han Zaiyu immediately became more vigilant.
The recent scandals have left him exhausted, and he's terrified of hearing any more bad news.
“It’s nothing serious.” An Yuanshan glared at his assistant, slowly rolled up the car window, and said calmly, “I just heard that the crew of ‘Fast & Furious 7’ will be filming a scene here today, so the road was closed in advance.”
"Ford v Ferrari 7? Is that Tannis's production?"
Han Zaiyu's heart instantly raced, but the next moment, his face darkened: "Which film crew is Xiao He in?"
"Um."
An Yuanshan glanced at Han Zaiyu and said, "You don't need to take him to heart. He's a Chinese actor. Being able to play a small supporting role in Hollywood is already the most glorious thing in his life. But you are different. You can work directly with Hollywood, get important co-investment, and are the future lead in 'The Twelve Evils'. He can't compare to you."
Han Zaiyu took a deep breath, then crossed his arms and sneered, "I don't take him seriously. He's just a Chinese actor. His status means he can't go far here."
"I'm just really annoyed with him."
Why is it that the person on the other side is thriving and has the support of domestic fans, while he has to endure the abuse from netizens, even though they are both at the center of the same controversy?
Han Jae-woo's reputation in China is currently extremely poor. Fortunately, he has already obtained the script for "Twelve Evils" and will continue to ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) stay in the United States. Otherwise, just thinking about having to go back and face those hyena-like reporters makes Han Jae-woo want to vomit.
But if he chooses to hide abroad and remain silent in China, he is very worried that his position will be shaken by others.
After all, the people in China who are attacking him the most are those who are eager to suppress Han Zaiyu and take his place.
"You need to deal with the situation online quickly, it's so annoying to see."
Han Zaiyu clicked his tongue lightly.
"Yes, I will."
Ahn Won-sun dared not say that Han Jae-woo's position was beginning to waver due to one scandal after another, and that the script "Twelve Evils" was becoming Han Jae-woo's only chance to "turn things around".
She couldn't even imagine what kind of huge changes would occur to Han Zaiyu's status in China if his novel "Twelve Evil Surnames" hadn't successfully turned his career around and achieved good results...
However, An Yuanshan dared not say anything. He could only soothe Han Zaiyu's emotions and secretly pray that Han Zaiyu could achieve outstanding results in "Twelve Evil Surnames".

The group on the other side left in their car looking rather dejected, while Xiao He drove his car and followed the main group onto the corresponding street.
The streets were already packed with people. Although many people didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but take out their phones to take pictures when they saw a whole convoy of luxury sports cars driving from the end of the intersection.
To ensure a perfect filming experience, the crew rented only expensive and stylish sports cars. Not only were the main cast members in the front row, but even the extras following behind were all incredibly valuable, forming a densely packed line. Such a grand scene is rare even on the streets of Los Angeles, and several of the drivers are very famous Hollywood actors. The net worth of Karl Lagerfeld alone far exceeds the combined value of all the supercars on set.
At the same time, he is also a household name in the United States. The "Fast & Furious" series alone has made him a representative of the handsome type. His participation in other Hollywood blockbusters has further boosted his fame. Now, when he drives on the streets of Los Angeles, it is hard not to attract enthusiastic fans.
Following him is another male actor with a very high reputation and status in "Speedy Cars". He also followed Mo Wensi and brought "Speedy Cars" from scratch to the present. Now his status in the industry is also very stable. He is recognized by everyone as the golden partner of the main characters.
It is said that this actor was originally scheduled to be killed off in Fortuna D.J. 3. However, after the trailer was previewed, it almost caused a riot among fans. In the end, the production team decided not to gamble with the fans' anger and urgently called the actor back to reshoot a scene where he was rescued.
So although the character didn't die and couldn't become a classic white moonlight fixed in the hearts of movie fans, his performance in the later films was still very good, maintaining the halo of the "golden partner" without ruining the character or doing anything else outrageous.
So when fans saw him and the lead actor, Mortens, appear on the street together, the cheers at the scene were even louder. Even though Xiao He was wearing headphones and a helmet, he could still faintly hear the cheers outside, and even the whistles of the fans.
This scene is similar to that of fans chasing celebrities in China.
Xiao He muttered to himself, but did not roll down the car window. Mo Wensi and the others, however, already knew about the situation and took the initiative to stick their heads out and wave to the fans outside, interacting briefly.
Soon, the director's instructions came through the earpiece.
Xiao He stepped on the gas and drove to the other side of Movens, alongside Movens' blue sports car.
The other sports cars belonging to the main characters also drove into their respective lanes.
An even louder cheer erupted from the crowd.
At this moment, director Tannis earnestly instructed again through the earpiece: "Xiao He, slow down a bit, slow down Movens' pace in the early stages, okay?"
"OK".
After filming for some time, the rest of the crew realized that Xiao He's racing skills were not just boasting, but genuinely impressive. Therefore, Tannis was not worried at all about Xiao He making any mistakes and confidently let him drive at the front to suppress and dribble, ensuring the speed of the entire team's cars.
After all, this is in the city center, and there are people everywhere around. It's impossible for them to actually race at the speed of a race car; that's definitely unrealistic.
Therefore, Xiao He's role as the leader of the vehicle is of paramount importance.
In the storyline, Xiao He's character, Shan Cheng, took the lead at the beginning, but the protagonist, Anniwell, proved his worth and turned the tide of the game, ultimately winning the championship.
This is indeed a case of one thing leading to another, both on and off screen.
