ZHANG ZIYI PIMPED OUT TO BO XILAI
Zhang Ziyi reportedly had sex for money with Bo Xilai more than 10 times
Actress Zhang Ziyi (章子怡) has allegedly been barred from leaving China after it was determined that she had sex with former top government official Bo Xilai (薄熙来) more than 10 times.
She is said to be under investigation by the Bo Xilai government and police investigation team, according to the US registered Chinese-language website Boxun.
The news has been carried by Apple Daily and other papers in Taiwan, but not in the Chinese mainland.
The pair’s sexual relationship was arranged by Bo’s associate, the 41-year-old billionaire Xu Ming (徐明), who is founder and chairman of Dalian Shide Group.
According to various sources, Xu confessed that he paid Zhang 6 million yuan ($946,000) in 2007, after sleeping with her for the first time.
The two then had several other “bedroom deals” before Xu arranged for Zhang to offer special services to Bo in the same year, for 10 million yuan.
Between 2007 and 2011, Bo and actress Zhang had sex at least 10 times – all in Beijing, including at Xu’s guesthouse in the capital’s Xishan.
Billionaire Xu also arranged for Zhang to meet another two high-level officials for sex and Xu would pay Zhang each time.
Sources said Zhang is famed in entertainment circles for obtaining money, jewelry and real estate from sleeping with the rich.
She has had up to five or six billionaire boyfriends at the same time, but only has one “formal boyfriend” in public.
It is estimated that Zhang has pocketed at least 700 million yuan ($110 million) from sexual transactions over the past 10 years, including 180 million yuan in cash from Xu.
Her vast wealth from prostituting herself was not taxed due to intervention from Xu and other government officials.
This shocking news might explain why Zhang was absent from the Cannes Film Festival this year even though her film, Dangerous Liaisons, premiered at the festival’s Directors’ Fortnight section.
Zhang was also invited to present the Palme d’Or awards.
But she turned down the invitations, giving the reason that she had to finish shooting on The Grandmasters (一代宗师).
The real reason could be that she is being investigated for her connection to Bo Xilai, Xu and her work as a prostitute.
Previously, Ziyi has been accused of witholding charity funds for the Sichuan earthquake and has often been connected with rich and powerful men, with whom she is supposed to have prostituted herself.
