Wang Jinhua during the 2000 Spring Festival

On February 1st, Zhou Yan arrived in Guangzhou by plane and then took a taxi to the film set.

At this point, "The Mystery of the Hidden Village" is coming to an end.

To allow other crew members to go home for the Chinese New Year, the production team is speeding up the schedule and working hard every day.

Zhou Yan, Zhou Jie, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin and others were unable to go home for the Spring Festival.

However, Liu Xiaohu, Peng Xinzhi, and others were able to go home for the Spring Festival.

Liu Xiaohu plays Zhuo Yun in the Hidden Village, and Peng Xinzhi plays Yang Kai.

On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, filming for "The Mystery of the Hidden Village" officially wrapped up.

Liu Xiaohu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We rushed around and finally finished filming.

Thankfully, I was still able to get home in time.

"Have you bought your tickets yet?" Zhou Jie couldn't help but ask.

"No," Liu Xiaohu shook his head, "I didn't know when filming would finish, so I didn't dare to buy it in advance."

"Train is unlikely, you could try plane tickets."

Train tickets are always hard to get, mainly because there are too many people wanting to buy them.

However, tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and most of those who could go back have already done so.

I can give it a try.

If we can't leave, we can think of other ways.

"I'd be happy if I could just buy a plane ticket," Liu Xiaohu said. He didn't ask for much; he just wanted to get home.

Although the plane tickets were expensive, it couldn't stop him from going home.

After filming for "The Mystery of the Hidden Village" was completed, the next segment to be filmed was "The Blood Altar".

It's also a segment with a very terrifying atmosphere.

The eerie statues on the altar, in particular, left a deep impression.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, everyone took photos all morning and then gathered together in the afternoon to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Customs differ slightly between the South and the North, so the production team was prepared for both.

Some people cook, and some people make dumplings.

Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin sat together, chatting and making dumplings.

This was the first time the two of them had spent the Lunar New Year together, and there was an extreme sense of novelty in it.

"How are my dumplings?" Fan Binbin showed Zhou Yan the dumplings she had made.

"Aside from being a bit ugly, it's alright," Zhou Yan glanced at it and thought its shape was strange.

But at least it has filling.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as it's edible," Fan Binbin said, not caring at all.

Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin were chatting when Li Binbin and Zhou Jie came over, sat opposite them, and helped make dumplings.

Fan Binbin and Zhou Jie have worked together on "My Fair Princess I" and "My Fair Princess II", so they are quite familiar with each other.

The two were talking about things related to the "Princess Pearl" production team.

Both Li Binbin and Zhou Jie could tell that the relationship between Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin was not simple.

But they didn't make a fuss.

This is also an unspoken rule within the industry.

Zhou Yan kept glancing at Fan Binbin, then at Li Binbin.

In their past lives, the two were almost irreconcilable enemies due to resource issues.

Looking at it now, it seems exceptionally harmonious.

"Sister Binbin, do you have a contract with a company now?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"I signed with Sister Hua," Li Binbin said without hiding it.

The so-called "Sister Hua" is Wang Jinhua, the top agent in mainland China.

Besides Li Binbin, Chen Daoming is also an artist under Sister Hua, and he was Sister Hua's first signed artist.

It was on Chen Daoming's advice that Wang Jinhua established her own company, "Black Sea Red Sun".

"Binbin and I have started an entertainment company together. If there's an opportunity in the future, let's cooperate more," Zhou Yan said, seemingly joking.

In Zhou Yan's mind, Li Binbin was one of the "Four Dan and Two Bins".

There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"No problem," Li Binbin thought with delight.

She knew that Zhou Yan was not only an actor, but also a famous writer in China.

Several of the books published by the other party have sold over a million copies.

He is a very popular writer in China.

Li Binbin had someone buy him a set of Zhou Yan's works, and he read them in his spare time.

It was truly spectacular.

It would be perfect to adapt it into a TV series.

Zhou Jie watched the two chatting, opened her mouth as if to say, "You can contact me too."

However, he ultimately did not say those words.

……

At 8 p.m., the 2000 Spring Festival Gala officially began.

Everyone gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Fan Binbin sat next to Zhou Yan. This was the first time she had ever experienced watching the Spring Festival Gala with dozens of people.

It just felt unusually lively.

The 2000 Spring Festival Gala had 20 hosts, including Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao, and others.

Also during this year's Spring Festival Gala, Niu Qun withdrew from his partnership with Feng Gong, and Guo Donglin teamed up with Feng Gong to perform the crosstalk "Old Songs, New Tunes".

"With a clap of the bamboo clappers, we won't praise anything else."

"Give them a shout-out, that Goubuli steamed bun!"

……

The catchy lines instantly became a nationwide sensation.

Everyone can sing a couple of lines.

Also on this year's Spring Festival Gala, teachers Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan performed the skit "The Hourly Worker".

Around 10 p.m., Zhou Yan's phone started ringing off the hook.

"I'm going to make a phone call," Zhou Yan said to Fan Binbin after looking at the phone number.

"Okay," Fan Binbin said without asking who it was.

Perhaps she already knew who it was.

"Hello," Zhou Yan walked to a secluded spot and answered the phone.

"Happy New Year!" Gao Yuanyuan's sweet voice rang out.

"Happy New Year," Zhou Yan said with a happy smile. "Are you home now?"

"Yeah, I just got back a couple of days ago. What about you?"

"I'm still on set and I'm staying here for the Lunar New Year."

"Ah..." Gao Yuanyuan was quite surprised, "When will you finish filming?"

"It'll probably be in April," Zhou Yan estimated.

……

The two shared their sweet daily moments, deeply in love.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. We'll talk in detail next time we meet," Gao Yuanyuan yawned.

"Aren't you staying up all night for the New Year?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"We can't hold on any longer, we can't take it," Gao Yuanyuan shook her head.

"Then kiss me before you hang up," Zhou Yan demanded.

"Po," a voice came from the phone.

"Is that okay?" Gao Yuanyuan's voice was full of joy.

"Yes, let's talk in detail when we meet," Zhou Yan said contentedly.

After hanging up Gao Yuanyuan's call, Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment before calling Jia Jingwen.

The call was answered quickly by Jia Jingwen.

"Hello," Jia Jingwen's voice was full of joy, as if she hadn't expected Zhou Yan to call her.

"Happy New Year, Sister Jingwen!" Zhou Yan's voice was very calm, but the impact on Jia Jingwen was anything but calm.

The person on the other end remained silent for a long time.

Jia Jingwen was momentarily stunned by Zhou Yan's sudden blessing.

"Feed?" Zhou Yan looked at his phone, his face full of doubt.

"You didn't hang up? Why is there no sound? Is there no signal?" Zhou Yan raised his phone, seemingly trying to get a signal.

"It's not a signal problem," Jia Jingwen said hastily, regaining her composure.

"It's my fault for not saying anything," Jia Jingwen said with a happy smile.

"I'm a little surprised that you suddenly called me," Jia Jingwen said happily.

Upon hearing Jia Jingwen's somewhat humble words, Zhou Yan was momentarily speechless.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jia Jingwen was in a great mood.

"I'm a little speechless," Zhou Yan said, genuinely unsure of what to say.
