Chapter 61

Jia Jingwen's Thoughts on the Beijing Film Academy Entrance Exam

As filming progressed, the first segment came to an end.

Bao Zheng lived up to expectations and found the real culprit who killed the Goryeo crown prince, who turned out to be his friend, Shen Liang.

Shen Liang's ostensible identity is that of a constable in Luzhou, but he is actually the son of Yelü Chuxiong, the Grand Marshal of the Liao army. He has been infiltrating the Song Dynasty as a spy for ten years, with the aim of provoking a conflict between the Song and Gao dynasties to benefit the Liao Dynasty.

Zhou Yan didn't know what to say after reading the plot.

The son of the Grand Marshal of the Liao Dynasty, a spy, infiltrated Luzhou and instigated the conflict between the Song and Gao dynasties.

I recognize each character individually, but they seem unfamiliar when put together.

Who would hire the son of the Grand Marshal of the Army as a spy? Go to Luzhou!

You need to know what the Grand Marshal of the Army and Cavalry is; he is second only to the emperor, above tens of thousands of people.

Would he let his son become a spy?

Being a general and killing enemies on the battlefield is more effective than being a spy.

Moreover, it's going to Luzhou.

It's not that Luzhou is bad, but its importance is certainly not as great as Kaifeng's.

It would be better to go undercover in Kaifeng, since Kaifeng is the capital.

As for the claim that it instigated a conflict between Song and Gao, that's utter nonsense.

However, none of this concerns him.

He acted exactly as the script was written.

He's just an actor, not a director, much less an investor.

Of course, TV series and movies produced by their company are definitely different.

As an investor, he would certainly point out the problems.

Those who are not in a position should not meddle in its affairs!

Despite its many flaws, "Young Justice Bao" remains a masterpiece and a classic.

Its terrifying soundtrack, the actors' superb acting skills, and the realistic props are still talked about twenty years later.

The altars of the Kuaiyi people, the mummified corpses in the secluded village, and so on, are the childhood nightmares of countless people.

After filming for the first segment concluded, Zhou Yan and Zhan Zhao remained in place to begin filming the "Magic Illusion" segment.

Because the filming location for "Enchanted Illusion," "Laiyan Town," is also located here.

To avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth, we plan to finish filming all the scenes here before moving on to the next location.

Bao Zheng is not in this chapter, so Gongsun Ce becomes the undisputed "protagonist" of this unit.

Fan Binbin, who plays Pang Feiyan, Fatima Yaqi (Wang Yaqi), who plays Ya Tou, and Shen Xiaorong, who plays Kang Qiao, all arrived at the film set in advance.

Fan Binbin, Wang Yaqi, and Shen Xiaorong are three beautiful women, each with their own unique charm. If we also include Li Binbin, then they are four golden flowers.

Li Binbin and Zhou Jie had no scenes to film, so they asked the crew for a few days off to go home.

This trip back home is like celebrating the New Year early.

Because the film crew doesn't get a holiday for the Lunar New Year, they will be spending it together here.

As they spent more time together on set, Zhou Yan became familiar with Wang Yaqi, Shen Xiaorong, and others.

Zhou Yan had no intention of provoking Wang Yaqi.

She's beautiful, but too infatuated.

What she wanted was something she couldn't give herself—marriage.

Therefore, Zhou Yan usually maintains a certain distance from him.

It's a pity about Wang Yaqi. She graduated from the PLA Academy of Arts, was good at singing and dancing, and was extremely beautiful, so everyone pushed her to be the school beauty.

During her sophomore year, Wang Yaqi visited a friend on the set of "My Fair Princess II" and met Zhang Tielin.

Wang Yaqi added the other party's contact information, and they gradually became familiar with each other.

In 1997, the two collaborated on the TV series "The Great Qing Medicine King", in which Wang Yaqi and Zhang Tielin played a couple.

During this time, she developed feelings for Zhang Tielin and took the initiative to confess her love.

At the time, the two were 25 years apart in age, and many people were not optimistic about their relationship.

But Wang Yaqi persisted, and they eventually developed a romantic relationship.

At this time, Zhang was already married, and his wife was pregnant.

After learning about this, Zhang's wife chose to divorce him and took the child with her.

The two of them were together openly and honestly.

At the time, everyone was advising Wang Yaqi that a man 25 years her senior and a college student were not a good match at all.

But Wang Yaqi seemed to be under a spell and wouldn't listen at all.

As those who had been through it feared, Wang Yaqi became pregnant, but Zhang demanded that she have an abortion.

After Wang Yaqi suffered a miscarriage, she was abandoned by her partner.

Fortunately, Wang Yaqi later met Li Zhixiong and found her life partner.

……

Zhou Yan was used to such things in his previous life, so he was not surprised.

In early January, director Zhou Yanxiang took three days off.

He's going to take the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy.

The director immediately agreed upon learning this, as it concerned Zhou Yan's future.

After learning about this, Chen Yong helped adjust the scenes.

We'll film the scenes with everyone first, and Zhou Yan's scenes will be reshot when we get back.

Zhou Yan returned to Beijing from Guangzhou to take the art exam.

The entrance exam for the acting department at Kyoto Film Academy is divided into three stages: preliminary exam, second exam, and final exam, with different content for each stage.

Zhou Yan received guidance from Yu Feihong while working on the set of "Little Li Flying Dagger," which gave him great confidence in himself.

After all, everything that needed to be prepared has already been prepared.

The rest is up to fate!

The afternoon before the exam, Zhou Yan's phone started ringing off the hook.

"Zhou Yan," Jia Jingwen's voice came through the phone.

"Jingwen, sister," Zhou Yan called out.

Upon hearing Zhou Yan's voice, Jia Jingwen's longing surged forth like a river bursting its banks.

unstoppable.

Jia Jingwen suppressed her excitement and spoke to him in a calm tone.

"The preliminary auditions for the Beijing Film Academy are tomorrow, so I should be fine, right?"

"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and Sister Feihong just called me and gave me her word, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Zhou Yan is confident in his abilities.

But I'm afraid of what might happen.

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Jia Jingwen felt much more at ease.

Yu Feihong does have some connections at the Beijing Film Academy.

What she says may not always work, but it will definitely be helpful.

"Then do your best on the exam, and let me know when the results come out."

"Okay," Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, "How have you been lately?"

"With the immense popularity of 'Little Li Flying Dagger,' your fame must have risen to another level."

"It's alright," Jia Jingwen said with a smile upon hearing Zhou Yan's concern.

"I heard from Teacher Yuan that you and Fan Binbin started a company together?"

"Yes," Zhou Yan had invited Yuen Woo-ping before the opening of [Nanhua Film and Television Entertainment Company].

However, the other party was busy with other things and didn't have time to come.

"Is your company still hiring? I'm thinking of expanding my business to mainland China recently," Jia Jingwen asked.

"Don't joke with me, I'm easily taken seriously," Zhou Yan's heart tightened.

"Nonsense, I'm serious," Jia Jingwen rolled her eyes. She genuinely wanted to develop her career in mainland China.

If Jia Jingwen could join [Nanhua Film & Television], it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

"Then it's settled. I'll come to Kyoto to see you in a while."

"it is good."

Jia Jingwen hung up the phone, held it to her chest, and smiled broadly.

……

"I've called you several times, but the line is always busy," Gao Yuanyuan's sweet voice rang out on the phone.

"I have many friends, and they all ask me about the art exams."

"So, what are your plans?"

"It should be fine. How are you doing on set?"

Zhou Yan and Gao Yuanyuan chatted about their daily lives, their laughter echoing throughout the room.
