: The Taiwanese beauty Alyssa Chia from the "Little Li Flying Dagger" film crew

A few days later, Zhou Yan received a call from the "Little Li Flying Dagger" production team, asking him to go to Wuzhou City, Jiangsu Province.

The TV series "Little Li Flying Dagger" is about to start filming, and the main actors need to get to know each other beforehand.

Fan Binbin also received a call from the production team.

"Honey, the filming of 'Little Li Flying Dagger' is about to start, and I have to go to Wushi tomorrow," Fan Binbin told Zhou Yan.

"How long will you be staying this time?"

"I don't know," Fan Binbin shook his head. "We'll only know the filming schedule when we get there."

"Then bring more clothes. You can bring them back if you don't need to. In case you're staying for a long time, you won't have to come back to pack!"

"Yes," Fan Binbin nodded, his face full of reluctance, "we'll be apart for a while again!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. As our careers develop, we'll see each other even less often," Zhou Yan said, hugging Fan Binbin to comfort him.

"I know, but I'm still a little reluctant to part with it," Fan Binbin naturally understood this reasoning.

But even though I understand, I still can't control my emotions!

"Why don't you come with me to Wushi? We can rent a place outside," Fan Binbin said, his eyes lighting up as if he had just thought of something.

"What did you say?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Fan Binbin's words.

"I'd be willing to go, but what would the director and the others think if they found out?"

"Are you being arrogant? Are you unprofessional? Or are you saying you can't live without men? It's not like we're never seeing each other," Zhou Yan said, stroking the other woman's hair.

"Fine," Fan Binbin sighed, giving up helplessly.

Zhou Yan found it amusing to see the other person's dejected look.

"I wonder how Binbin will react when we meet on set?" Zhou Yan was already looking forward to it!

……

In the afternoon, Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin went to the agency and bought two plane tickets, both bound for Shanghai.

Zhou Yan went to Shanghai to visit "Song Yuanfei", while Fan Binbin went to Shanghai for a change of plans.

In 1999, not every city in China had an airport, and even if there was an airport, it might not be a civil aviation facility, so passengers would need to transfer or use other modes of transportation.

Zhou Yan and the other person parted ways after arriving in Shanghai.

Fan Binbin took a taxi to his destination, while Zhou Yan went to visit Editor-in-Chief Song Yuanfei.

Just like when visiting "Director Hu En", Zhou Yan called ahead to inquire about his address before making a visit.

Zhou Yan was Hu En's "benefactor," but to Song Yuanfei he was a "god of wealth"!

Despite the significant discounts offered by Shanghai People's Publishing House, the number of Zhou Yan's books has also increased.

All things considered, the Shanghai People's Publishing House made quite a bit of money.

What truly pleased Song Yuanfei was his "political achievements".

Zhou Yan was signed during his tenure, and the greater the Zhou Yan's achievements, the more proud he felt.

Zhou Yan stayed at Song Yuanfei's home for two hours, politely declining the latter's offer to stay.

"Binbin should be here by now," Zhou Yan said as he walked out of Song Yuanfei's residential area and called Fan Binbin.

"Hello," Fan Binbin answered the phone quickly.

"Have you arrived at the film set yet?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Just arrived," Fan Binbin said excitedly, "Guess who I saw?"

"Who is it?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"Xiao Qiang," Fan Binbin said softly, "I never expected her to be the lead actress!"

"Taiwan's No. 1 beauty?"

"It's her!" Fan Binbin couldn't contain her excitement. "She's so beautiful! I wish I were that pretty!"

"You're prettier than her."

"He just knows how to make me happy," Fan Binbin thought to herself with a smug smile.

"Okay, I'm hanging up now. We'll talk again when I get back tonight," Fan Binbin said, hanging up the phone without saying anything more.

"That little girl," Zhou Yan thought, looking at the phone that had just been hung up, imagining what she would look like when she saw him!

……

Fan Binbin arrived at the hotel where the film crew was located and joined everyone under the guidance of the crew members.

"Hello, I'm Fan Binbin, and I play Xing'er in the drama," Fan Binbin introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Jin Demao, the executive director of the production team. Please find a seat," Jin Demao greeted.

"Okay," Fan Binbin casually found an empty seat and sat down, looking around. There were quite a few familiar faces.

Jiao Enjun, Wu Jing, Yu Feihong, and teacher Gao Xiong are all frequent guests on the screen!

Jiao Enjun, in particular, is really handsome.

However, compared to Zhou Yan, there is still a certain gap.

At least that's how Fan Binbin sees it!

On the other side, Yuen Woo-ping was communicating with another director, Choi Sung, surrounded by several unfamiliar faces.

"Hello, I'm Jia Jingwen," a sweet voice came from next to Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth looking at him with a smile.

This woman was extremely beautiful, with skin as smooth as cream, a face like a peach blossom, bright and spirited eyes, eyebrows like distant mountains, lips like vermilion, and a smile as warm as the sun, making people feel good about her.

"Hello, I'm Fan Binbin," Fan Binbin said, extending his hand.

"I know you, Jin Suo from 'My Fair Princess.' I never expected to see you here," Jia Jingwen said, delighted to see Fan Binbin.

"My Fair Princess" was a huge hit in Taiwan.

It's so popular that everyone knows it.

"I know you too," Fan Binbin said to the other person.

Compared to Fan Binbin, Alyssa Chia debuted much earlier.

Alyssa Chia debuted in 1990 and has starred in many TV dramas.

In 1997, Chia Ching-wen won the Best Newcomer Award in the Drama Category at the Golden Bell Awards for her outstanding performance in "Four Daughters".

Later, the period romance drama "The Seven Lifetimes of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai," starring Chia Ching-wen, became the top-rated show on Taiwan's FTV.

Compared to Fan Binbin, Jia Jingwen has a richer acting career and more honors.

"I heard that 'Princess Pearl II' has finished filming?" Jia Jingwen asked curiously.

"We'll stop filming before the Spring Festival," Fan Binbin nodded.

……

Yuen Woo-ping looked at the people who had arrived; almost everyone was there except for Zhou Yan.

"I'm going out to make a phone call," Yuen Woo-ping said as he walked out of the room and dialed Zhou Yan's number.

"Teacher Yuan, I have arrived at the hotel and am on my way," Zhou Yan said. He had already arrived at the hotel entrance and was following the staff toward the meeting.

"Okay, it's good that you're here," Yuen Woo-ping breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm afraid of unforeseen changes that could have far-reaching consequences, causing a lot of trouble later on.

After hanging up the phone, Yuen Woo-ping instructed his staff to distribute the scripts.

"Hello, this is the script. Please take a look," a staff member said, walking over with a stack of scripts and handing them to Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen.

"Thank you," Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen said, accepting the gifts.

These scripts are all printed in a standardized format; you need to circle the lines and plot points yourself later.

"Which role are you playing?" Fan Binbin asked in a low voice.

"Sun Xiaohong, the granddaughter of the Heavenly Mystery Elder," Jia Jingwen flipped through the script in her hand, looking for her scenes.

"And you?"

"I play Xing'er, a maidservant by the side of the Fairy Jinghong," Fan Binbin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Everyone, take a look at the script in your hands. There's one person who hasn't arrived yet," Yuen Woo-ping said.

"Who else hasn't arrived?" Jiao Enjun and the others asked those around them.

"I don't know," everyone shook their heads; they didn't know either.

"Is he that high-profile?" someone muttered to themselves.

"It seems the actor who plays Ah Fei isn't here," said Zheng Jiaxin, who plays Lin Xian'er.

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Zheng Jiaxin.

Cheng Ka-yan quickly explained that Lin Sin-yee and Ah Fei had a lot of scenes together, so she was very curious about who played Ah Fei.

After searching around, they still couldn't find the actor who played Ah Fei.

Logically speaking, Ah Fei, as the second male lead, should definitely be present, but he wasn't there, so he must have been late!

"Sorry everyone, I was delayed due to traffic," Zhou Yan said, pushing open the door and walking in, looking travel-worn.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Fan Binbin couldn't help but look up.

For a moment, Fan Binbin was stunned!
