A quick summary of the Fan Bingbing scandal/disappearance with only CONFIRMED facts because I've been seeing so many rumors/lies/speculation that come from third party sources without any understanding of the Chinese entertainment industry:
In 2004, Fan Bingbing starred in a popular, award-winning film called Cell Phone. The main character in the film was displayed negatively; he was a man who had an affair and cheated on his wife. He was widely believed to be based off of Chinese TV host Cui Yongyuan.
