Chapter 76

: Encountering the Mountain Eagle, Han Shanping, Upon Joining the Group

Zhou Yan ultimately did not refuse the beauty's kindness and stayed overnight.

Fan Binbin did make a phone call.

But Zhou Yan did not answer.

He was at a crucial moment at that time and had no time to deal with it.

Fan Binbin was also very sensible and did not attempt a second shot.

……

Before she knew it, it was May, and Jia Jingwen had finally settled down in Kyoto.

Zhou Yan also often came to keep her company.

However, this period of having both women on one side did not last long.

In early May, Zhou Yan went to the film crew of "Beijing Bicycle".

Fan Binbin wasn't idle either; Fang Mengya helped her get a new drama role—"The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

By this time, Fan Binbin was no longer an unknown figure.

There were many invitations.

Fang Mengya helped her negotiate a martial arts drama – "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

And Fan Binbin lived up to expectations, landing the role of "Zhu Qiqi".

At the same time, Fang Mengya also used her connections to find a suitable role for Jia Jingwen.

……

The crew of "Beijing Bicycle" Zhou Yan and Gao Yuanyuan arrived at the filming location together.

Here, they met Wang Xiaoshuai, as well as another male and female lead.

Xiao Gui is played by "Cui Lin".

Hongqin is played by Zhou Xun.

"Hey there, handsome!" Zhou Xun's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yan, and he came up to greet him.

"Hello, Sister Xun, I'm Zhou Yan," Zhou Yan said humbly.

The woman in front of us is no ordinary person. Just this year, Zhou Xun won the Best Actress Award at the 15th Paris International Film Festival for her role in the art film "Suzhou River," becoming an international film queen.

"This is my girlfriend—Gao Yuanyuan."

"Hello, Sister Xun," Gao Yuanyuan greeted.

"Hello, beautiful lady," Zhou Xun said, slightly disappointed that Zhou Yan was already taken.

But I didn't think too much about it.

"Hello, I'm Cui Lin," Cui Lin said as she stepped forward and introduced herself.

"Hello there."

The four people introduced themselves to each other.

The entire series is basically centered around four people, with very few other actors.

"Why hasn't the director arrived yet?" Zhou Yan asked, puzzled.

"I heard that a distinguished person is coming, but I don't know who it is," Zhou Xun knew more about the matter.

"Oh?" Zhou Yan and the others immediately became curious. Who exactly was this important person?

Xun was very talkative, chatting with Zhou Yan and Cui Lin about things in the entertainment industry, acting like a senior figure.

Zhou Xun debuted early and has a lot of experience.

Being a senior to Zhou Yan, Cui Lin, and Gao Yuanyuan is more than enough.

Just then, Wang Xiaoshuai and a middle-aged man came over together.

Zhou Yan recognized the man next to Wang Xiaoshuai immediately.

"Damn it, it's Zuo Shandiao."

The middle-aged man next to Wang Xiaoshuai was none other than "Zuo Shandiao"—Han Shanping.

He is one of the most influential figures in the entertainment industry.

He will become the chairman of China Film Group in the future.

However, at this time, Han Shanping had not yet become the chairman of China Film Group, but was only the vice chairman and vice general manager, mainly in charge of the group's film production process, and instructing China Film to carry out business restructuring, asset integration and property rights system reform in accordance with the requirements of corporate system development.

It's truly remarkable that Wang Xiaoshuai was able to invite Han Shanping to attend the opening ceremony.

Zhou Yan suddenly remembered that "Beijing Bicycle" had been invested in by Kyoto Film Studio.

Before the establishment of China Film Group Corporation, Han Shanping was the director of Beijing Film Studio, so it was quite normal for the two to have some interaction.

Zhou Yan even suspected that Wang Xiaoshuai had sought investment from Han Shanping.

After all, Han Shanping is known for supporting and encouraging young people to create.

During his tenure as director of Beijing Film Studio, Han Shanping organized and produced more than 100 films as a producer, including works such as "Kong Fansen", "The Emperor and the Assassin" and "Zhang Side".

In 1998, Han Shanping served as the producer, with Taipei Film Studio contributing 100 million yuan and Forbidden City Film Studio also contributing some money, totaling 300 million yuan to produce "The Dream Factory," creating the concept of the "New Year's film season" in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Han Shanping has spared no effort and shown great courage in promoting the development of Chinese films and television dramas.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to become the chairman of China Film Group in 2007.

Since then, the box office history of Chinese films has been continuously broken.

"Chairman Han, let me introduce you," Wang Xiaoshuai said, leading Han Shanping to the group. "These are the lead actors in our movie."

Han Shanping looked at the four people, among whom Zhou Xun was the most familiar.

"This is Chairman Han from China Film Group, and he is also the biggest contributor to our film. Without Chairman Han, it would be unknown whether our film could even be made." If it weren't for the investment from Beijing Film Studio, "Beijing Bicycle" would have needed to find investors again, which would not only be difficult but also a waste of time.

"Hello, Chairman Han," everyone greeted him.

"Hello," Han Shanping said with a smile and a nod.

"Chairman Han, this is Cui Lin, one of the male leads in the movie."

"Hmm," Han Shanping said, shaking hands with Cui Lin as if he were a leader on an inspection tour.

"This is the other male lead in the movie—Zhou Yan."

"Zhou Yan?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Han Shanping paused and looked the other person up and down.

"Chairman Han, Zhou Yan is not only an actor, but also a writer," Wang Xiaoshuai said as he stepped forward.

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoshuai's words, Zhou Xun and Cui Lin both looked at Zhou Yan.

They had obviously just heard the news.

"Oh," a flash of inspiration struck Han Shanping upon hearing Wang Xiaoshuai's words.

"Are you the author of 'Qin's Moon'?" Han Shanping blurted out.

"Yes," Zhou Yan nodded with a smile.

"My daughter especially loves your books," said Han Shanping, whose daughter is a fan of Zhou Yan's books.

His daughter recommended "Qin's Moon" to him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but reveal a set of white teeth.

"Young man, your book is good, keep it up," Han Shanping patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder.

"I will try my best," Zhou Yan nodded.

"This is one of the female leads—Gao Yuanyuan."

"Hello, Chairman Han," Gao Yuanyuan greeted Han Shanping.

"We don't need introductions, we know each other." Zhou Xun and Han Shanping knew each other and were quite familiar with each other.

Han Shanping naturally knew Zhou Xun as well.

The group exchanged a few words and then held the opening ceremony.

Wang Xiaoshuai invited Han Shanping over just for this moment.

Before leaving, Han Shanping asked for Zhou Yan's phone number.

"Young man, you have great talent. Strive to write the 'Stormy Martial World' series well," Han Shanping encouraged.

"Chairman Han, I will definitely write it well," Zhou Yan promised.

"I heard from Xiao Shuai that you also started an entertainment company?"

"Yes," Zhou Yan nodded; it wasn't a secret.

"Young people have drive, that's great," Han Shanping praised generously. "This is my phone number. You can call me if you have any difficulties in the future."

Han Shanping took out his business card and handed it to Zhou Yan.

"Okay," Zhou Yan accepted Han Shanping's business card.

The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and it is very taboo to keep everything to yourself.

It's fine once or twice, but if you always try to have your cake and eat it too, you'll be targeted or even framed by others.

The true way to survive is to make the pie bigger and share it together.

Even if you eat meat yourself, leave some soup for others.

China Film Group is doing just that, making the Chinese entertainment market bigger and bigger.

Everyone can benefit.
