Chinese woman funds her own TV series to star in, requests 60 kissing scenes with male lead

Chinese woman funds her own TV series to star in, requests 60 kissing scenes with male lead

A wealthy Chinese woman reportedly funded her own short-form drama, cast herself as its leading lady, and requested more than 60 kissing scenes with a handpicked male actor.

According to Mothership, the unnamed investor paid for a customized series spanning more than 50 episodes.

She then took the role of a princess and personally selected actor Zhong Yufei to play her love interest, a down-on-his-luck prince.

However, director Meng Xing claimed the investor also insisted on packing the show with more than 60 kissing scenes. Crew members reportedly joked that the pair had to kiss every few steps.

The director said she tried to reduce the amount of intimate content, but the woman refused to change her plans.

Actor claims rich woman crossed boundaries while filming intimate scenes

Zhong later addressed the production in a video, alleging that his co-star repeatedly crossed his boundaries while filming intimate scenes.

“Don’t stick out your tongue when filming kissing scenes. Don’t keep sending saliva into my mouth,” he said, according to 8world.

The streaming platform reportedly removed more than 20 kissing and intimate scenes before releasing the drama because they were considered too explicit.

Those cuts allegedly created gaps in the story and even led some viewers to believe the two stars had developed a real-life relationship.

Meng later clarified that she was only hired to produce the customized series after some viewers incorrectly assumed she was the wealthy investor.

She also claimed the woman refused to pay the remaining 30,000 yuan, approximately $4,200 USD, after becoming upset that so many kissing scenes had been removed.

The production company has since apologized to Zhong and pledged to introduce clearer contracts protecting actors during future shoots.

Facebook deleted Uyghur and Tibetan rights pages at China's request, labeling them "Terrorism" – While Zuckerberg was lecturing Congress about Free Expression

China ran paid ads on Facebook calling Japan "a saboteur of the ecological system" and "a polluter of the global marine environment" — over Fukushima wastewater that the IAEA confirmed was safe.

Those ads ran in English, German, and Khmer. No disclaimers. Designed to turn the world against Japan.

That same propaganda machine produced over 200 anti-Japanese war films a year. At one point, 70% of all Chinese TV dramas were about the war with Japan.

In September 2024, a 10-year-old Japanese schoolboy was stabbed to death walking to school in Shenzhen. It happened on the anniversary of Japan's invasion of Manchuria — a date China marks every year with sirens and calls to "never forget the humiliation."

The attacker was executed. China called it an "isolated incident."

But here's what makes this story even darker.

While China was using the platform to spread anti-Japan propaganda to the world — Meta was secretly building censorship tools FOR China.

A former executive named Sarah Wynn-Williams just revealed it all. She was the company's Director of Global Public Policy — a New Zealand diplomat and lawyer who spent six years briefing world leaders on its behalf.

She alleges the company built an "emergency switch" to cut off communication from Xinjiang, deleted Uyghur and Tibetan rights pages because China labeled them "terrorism," and deployed a surveillance tool in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

She filed a 78-page complaint with the SEC. She testified before the US Senate under oath. Her book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. Meta sued to silence her. It backfired.

The US Senate opened a formal probe. Senator Chuck Grassley wrote directly to Zuckerberg demanding answers.

China used this platform to spread propaganda against Japan — propaganda that helped create the environment where a 10-year-old boy was stabbed to death.

And the company's response was to help China silence the people who spoke out against it.

Chinese National Arrested After Porsche Crash Injures Three in Tokyo

A 23-year-old Chinese national has been arrested and referred to prosecutors after allegedly causing a high-speed traffic accident that injured three people in Tokyo.
According to investigators, Zhendá Xu allegedly lost control of a Porsche while attempting to make a right turn at an intersection in Tokyo’s Bunkyo Ward on June 9. The car struck a curb before crashing into two vehicles in the opposite lane, leaving three people with minor injuries.
Police say the Porsche was traveling at approximately 100 km/h (62 mph) just before the collision, despite the road having a speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph) or lower.
Xu reportedly admitted to the allegation, telling investigators, “I wanted to turn quickly because I didn’t want to get caught at the traffic light and waste time.”
Authorities also suspect he was driving without a valid license, as the Philippine international driving permit he presented is believed to have expired.
The case comes as Japan moves to strengthen penalties for extreme speeding. Revised legislation, expected to take effect later this summer, allows prosecutors to apply the offense of dangerous driving causing injury or death to crashes involving speeds exceeding the limit by 50 km/h or more on roads with speed limits of 60 km/h or less.

China Shows Signs of Resuming Group Tours to Japan

According to NNN reporting, a Chinese state-owned travel agency is set to resume group tours to Japan from mid-next month, with a six-night, seven-day Tokyo and Osaka itinerary already open for bookings. Several private Chinese travel agencies have also resumed group tours since last month.

A source at a Chinese travel agency described the shift as authorities adopting a stance of "tacit approval," telling operators to "decide for themselves." A Japanese government official suggested Chinese authorities likely had little choice given the financial strain facing travel agencies, calling the development positive for bilateral relations. Whether this signals a sustained recovery in Chinese tourism to Japan, which has fallen sharply in recent months, remains to be seen.

Japan-China relations took a sharp downturn after Prime Minister Takaichi's comments regarding a potential Taiwan contingency last November, prompting Beijing to instruct Chinese travel agencies to reduce the number of travellers heading to Japan by 60% — effectively halting group tourism to the country.

Too Immersed in the Propaganda: Audience Member Delivers a Flying Kick to a Stage Actor Playing a Japanese Soldier at a Patriotic Education Base!

An absolutely absurd scene unfolded at a "patriotic education base" in mainland China, proving that the local theatrical propaganda might be working a little too well on the population.

During a live-action historical performance, stage actors were portraying Japanese soldiers committing wartime atrocities against Chinese villagers. An audience member sitting in the front row got completely consumed by the performance. Forgetting that he was watching a scripted play in 2026, he suddenly charged the stage and delivered a full-force flying kick directly into the chest of the actor playing the "Japanese officer" to rescue the cast.

Support the CCP, and Taiwan becomes Hong Kong

During Cheng Li-wun's visit to the United States, a man identifying as a Chinese pointed out that Xi Jinping is a dictator planning to invade ROC (Taiwan), warning that embracing the CCP would turn Taiwan into another Hong Kong.

His remarks prompted attendees to shout “Shame on you!” before he was forcibly escorted out of the venue. On stage, Cheng could only offer an awkward smirk, failing to provide any substance in response to the man's appeal.
