Show business can be tough. One day you’re in. The next day you’re out.

Ziyi’s problems are going from bad to worse. Just days ago Emporio Armani officially ended their endorsement deal with Zhang Ziyi due to the negative media attention from the quake donation fund fraud the actress was wrapped up in. Zhang reportedly owed 160,000 yuan for her 1-million-yuan pledge toward the Wenchuan earthquake relief. It wasn’t until the media found out that the actress paid the remaining pledge. Now a new rumor suggests that Zhang cheated the public with her fund-raising activities held in Cannes and New York in 2008. Whoa.

Think that’s all? Not quite. In December 2009 a Beijing-based publication reported that Zhang allegedly had a “special relationship” with a married businessman in Shanghai. In the wake of that scandal  Zhang quit the film Snow Flower and The Secret Fan, a project she had planned to star in for a long time.

There is some good news for Zhang Ziyi. She has been cast as the lead in director Gu Changwei upcoming drama, The Era of Magic. Zhang will also produce the film while Aaron Kwok co-stars.
