Chapter 48

I'm afraid Binbin will misunderstand if we expand and strengthen our business.

Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin have already agreed that after Zhou Yan terminates his contract, the two of them will jointly establish an entertainment media company.

Zhou Yan invested 900,000 yuan, Fan Binbin invested 100,000 yuan, and the total investment was tentatively set at 1 million yuan.

In terms of shares, Zhou Yan owns 90% and Fan Binbin owns 10%.

If the company grows, Zhou Yan will allocate a portion of the shares as employee benefits.

Establishing a company was a long-held idea of ​​Zhou Yan's. "The World's Number One", "Water Moon Cave", and the ten-part series "The Stormy Martial World" are all IPs worth developing.

It's impossible to just hand it over to someone else.

The two talked all the way, and Zhou Yan escorted Fan Binbin to the waiting room before returning to the film crew.

With Fan Binbin's departure, Jia Jingwen completely took over Zhou Yan's life.

After Ren Quan finished filming his scenes, Zhou Yan, Wu Jing, Jiao Enjun, and others treated him to a farewell meal.

At the end of June, Yang Yan finished filming her scenes, and "Little Li Flying Dagger" came to an end.

Meanwhile, there has been progress in Qiong Yao's lawsuit against Fan Binbin for breach of contract.

Fan Binbin and Qiong Yao reached an agreement through court mediation and settled out of court!

Fan Binbin communicated with Zhou Yan by phone multiple times during the mediation.

Zhou Yan's idea was to refuse mediation and proceed directly to court.

He will do whatever the court rules.

He would accept even if the court awarded him a million.

Zhou Yan is convinced that the contract Fan Binbin signed was not legally valid.

However, Fan Binbin did not want things to get too tense, and after multiple mediations by the court and the lawyer's reasoned arguments, the two parties finally reached an agreement.

Fan Binbin compensated Qiong Yao's side with 20,000 yuan to make up for Qiong Yao's "losses".

Qiong Yao's team and Fan Binbin have officially terminated their contract, and the two sides have shaken hands and made peace.

This matter ends here!

Public opinion is currently very negative towards Qiong Yao's side. They don't want things to continue and just want it to end quickly.

After everything was settled, Zhou Yan received another call from Fan Binbin.

"In my opinion, you shouldn't have given a single penny."

"No matter what, the role of Jin Suo made me famous, so consider it a thank-you fee to Aunt Qiong Yao. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!" Fan Binbin also did not want to get too involved with Qiong Yao's side.

It's better to end it sooner and return to a normal life.

"Twenty thousand it is then. Do you have the money? I'll transfer it to you." The matter was already settled, so Zhou Yan didn't say anything more.

"I have money," Fan Binbin said, refusing Zhou Yan's money. "I still have 20,000 yuan."

"Little rich girl," Zhou Yan joked.

"Come on, how can a tycoon like you say something like that?" As the matter was resolved, Fan Binbin became much more cheerful.

"What kind of tycoon am I? I'm far from it," Zhou Yan's goal is to become a tycoon.

But to become a tycoon, one needs at least hundreds of millions in assets, and that was the standard in the millennium.

By the standards of the post-millennium era, especially the post-2010 era, one cannot be considered a tycoon without tens of billions!

"Then let's all work hard to make money and make the company bigger and stronger!" Fan Binbin was full of ambition at this moment!

"good!"

Zhou Yan hung up the phone, still feeling somewhat emotional.

History has been rewritten once again.

In his previous life, Fan Binbin had to pay Qiong Yao 200,000 yuan to terminate his contract.

In this life, Fan Binbin not only reduced the penalty for breach of contract to 20,000 yuan, but also significantly brought forward the time for terminating the contract.

In the previous life, the contract was terminated passively, and Qiong Yao's side held the dominant position.

In this life, Fan Binbin voluntarily terminated the contract, and if he wanted, he could even pay nothing at all.

Fan Binbin's fate took an even more dramatic turn, and the two became inextricably linked.

There's no need to go through those messy companies like Pikachu King and Huayi anymore.

Changing someone else's fate—that may be one of the charms of rebirth.

"In the future, I will change more history and change the fate of more people!"

Zhou Yan looked up at the distant sky, where fiery clouds stretched out in patches, creating a particularly magnificent scene.

……

Filming for "Little Li Flying Dagger" officially wrapped up in early July.

While everyone was excited, they also felt a little melancholy.

Jia Jingwen, in particular, looked at Zhou Yan with eyes full of reluctance.

She had gotten used to having Zhou Yan around during this time.

Zhou Yan didn't notice Jia Jingwen's gaze and chatted with Wu Jing and Jiao Enjun.

Like other film crews, the production team prepared a wrap party, which could also be described as a "farewell dinner".

The crew started filming in early March, and now it's early July, four months later.

"Let's drink until we drop tonight!" Yuen Woo-ping shouted.

"Thank you, director! Thank you, boss!" the crowd cheered.

That night, everyone drank freely without any restraint.

Zhou Yan was no exception, wandering around with a wine glass in his hand, looking like he wouldn't leave until he was drunk.

"Director Yuan, thank you for your high regard and guidance. You taught me a lot during the filming. I'd like to toast you with this glass," Zhou Yan said, holding a glass of wine in front of Yuan Heping, his face full of gratitude.

Yuen Woo-ping was indeed good to him; although they were not formally master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.

Yuen Woo-ping taught him a lot, especially about "martial arts choreography".

In addition, Yuen Woo-ping added scenes for him when he was on set.

This made his portrayal of Ah Fei even more vivid and relatable!

He will always remember this support!

"Keep it up, I have high hopes for your future," Yuen Woo-ping patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"I will definitely work hard."

Next, Zhou Yan found Jiao Enjun and others.

"Brother Jiao, you're leaving tomorrow, let's have a drink!"

"Brother Jing, I'm in Kyoto now too. Let's keep in touch."

"Sister Feihong, thank you for your guidance. If I get into Beijing Film Academy, I will definitely treat you to a proper meal."

"Teacher Gao, I really love your TV dramas, let's take a picture!"

……

Zhou Yan moved through the crowd like a social butterfly.

Finally, he sat down next to Jia Jingwen.

"Jingwen, thank you for your company during this time," Zhou Yan said, raising his glass.

Looking at Zhou Yan in front of her, Jia Jingwen felt an overwhelming urge to throw herself into his arms.

"I should be thanking you," Jia Jingwen said, suppressing her inner turmoil and forcing a smile.

"Clink," the wine glasses clinked lightly, and the wine was emptied in one gulp.

"What are your plans for the future?" Zhou Yan put down his empty wine glass.

"I don't know," Jia Jingwen shook her head.

"Then I wish you a bright future," Zhou Yan offered his blessings.

"Thank you," Jia Jingwen accepted the blessing, "And you? What are your plans?"

"I plan to start an entertainment media company and be my own boss," Zhou Yan said without hiding anything.

He's not cheating on his wife; there's nothing shameful about it.

"Oh," Jia Jingwen's eyes lit up.

"That's great, you're starting your own company now!"

"It's just a small stunt," Zhou Yan waved his hand humbly.

"Do you need a partner? I still have some savings," Jia Jingwen said, not having much money.

First, to pay off debts.

Second, consumption.

As a celebrity, Alyssa Chia has high spending habits and very little savings left.

"I'd better not, I'm afraid Binbin will misunderstand," Zhou Yan shook his head and refused.

Jia Jingwen's smile froze instantly.

"Fan Binbin, Fan Binbin, it's Fan Binbin again," Jia Jingwen said, feeling a mix of jealousy and bitterness.

"Why should I?" Jia Jingwen was very unwilling.

"I'll think of you if I find a suitable role in the future," Zhou Yan said, not out of coldness.

If a suitable role is available, "one of our own" will definitely be given priority.

"Then thank you in advance!"
