Chapter 78

: A Masterful Performance; College Entrance Exam Results Released

After returning to his hometown, Zhou Yan stayed for two days before heading back to Kyoto.

It's not that I don't want to stay longer, but the house in my hometown is being renovated, and the whole family is living in the old house.

The old house was small and cramped.

Zhou Yan simply returned to Kyoto, leaving the space to his parents and younger sister.

After their last conversation, Zhou's father bought the plot of land behind the house and expanded his own house.

Not only did the building area of ​​the house increase, but most importantly, the yard doubled in size.

In the future, when Zhou Yan returns to his hometown, he can drive his car directly into the yard.

After returning to Kyoto, Zhou Yan resumed her filming life.

That day, Xiao Jian, played by Zhou Yan, was found by Xiao Gui, played by Cui Lin, who bluntly accused Xiao Jian of stealing his bicycle.

"On your marks, action!" Wang Xiaoshuai sat in front of the monitor, watching everyone perform.

"Slap!" Xiao Jian's father slapped Zhou Yan across the face.

Zhou Yan stumbled, his face immediately turning red.

"Why did you hit me?" Xiao Jian looked at his father, his eyes filled with anger.

Why did you hit me?

"You've learned to steal," Xiao Jian's father scolded sternly.

"I didn't steal it," Zhou Yan said, feeling both aggrieved and angry.

The feeling of being wronged stems from the fact that one has been falsely accused.

The anger stemmed from feeling wronged.

"You didn't steal it?"

"If you didn't steal the bike, how did it end up in your hands?" Xiao Jian's father didn't believe him at all and pointed at the bicycle, questioning him.

When questioned by his father, Xiao Jian was speechless.

He looked flustered, his eyes darting around, and his hands nervously clutching the hem of his pants.

"Well done!" Wang Xiaoshuai was pleasantly surprised by Zhou Yan's performance. "Cut to a close-up and focus the camera on Xiao Jian's eyes and hands."

Zhou Yan perfectly portrayed Xiao Jian's inner panic.

Strictly speaking, this scene is Zhou Yan's solo performance.

It all comes down to Zhou Yan's acting skills.

Xiao Jian glanced at his father, and recalling past events, his resentment suddenly erupted.

Zhou Yan put himself in the shoes of his childhood.

Zhou's father had clearly promised him something, but he never fulfilled it.

A surge of emotions welled up instantly.

At that moment, Zhou Yan was Xiao Jian.

Zhou Yan's voice became much louder, seemingly venting his resentment, or perhaps trying to bolster his confidence.

"This is your own fault for breaking your promise," Zhou Yan said, venting all his grievances and resentment as he looked at Xiao Jian's father.

"He's been saying he'd buy me a car for years."

I can't find you at night.

"You promised to buy me a car if I get into vocational high school."

"I passed the exam."

"Where's the car?"

Did you buy it for me?

Xiao Jian pressed on relentlessly, constantly questioning his father.

The people around watched Zhou Yan perform, their faces full of admiration.

"This kid's delivery of lines is amazing."

"Yes, such a long monologue, without any pauses or stutters."

"Is this going to be a one-shot film?"

"Where did Director Wang find this male lead? His acting is amazing."

"I feel he's no worse than Zhou Xun."

"Keep your voice down, don't let Sister Xun hear!"

……

Zhou Yan was still performing there.

He prepared for this performance for a long time, so he was able to immerse himself in the role during filming.

At this moment, Zhou Yan is Xiao Jian.

"Okay, cut," Wang Xiaoshuai said decisively when he saw Xiao Jian's father stop reciting his lines.

"Hoo," Zhou Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

I just had a heated argument with Xiao Jian's father, and I felt like my blood was boiling.

His face turned red and his neck thickened.

"Are you alright?" Cui Lin's face was full of worry; he had almost thought the two were about to fight.

"It's nothing, I'm sorry you had to see this," Zhou Yan said with a faint smile.

Gao Yuanyuan ran up at this moment, her face full of worry.

Zhou Yan looked a bit scary just now.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, I'm fine," Zhou Yan comforted Gao Yuanyuan.

"You're getting a little too involved," Gao Yuanyuan said, finally putting her mind at ease.

"My emotions came on suddenly, and I couldn't control them," Zhou Yan explained.

"Xiao Yan, you acted well, keep it up," Wang Xiaoshuai said with a satisfied smile after playing back the video.

Casting Zhou Yan in the film was absolutely the right decision.

Low pay.

There's not much to do.

High acting skills.

Where can you find such a good actor?

Everyone else was also impressed by Zhou Yan's acting skills, and even Zhou Xun felt admiration for him.

"This guy is really amazing, he's born to do this job," Zhou Xun said with great emotion.

Many people cross over into the entertainment industry, but very few make a name for themselves.

Zhou Yan is most familiar with two people: Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying.

He had practiced martial arts at Shaolin Temple for many years and came from an extra's performance.

A student majoring in flight attendant at LF City Electronic Information Engineering School debuted through a talent show.

Both of them had very poor basic skills, but their acting skills far surpassed those of some professionally trained actors and stars.

Zhou Yan had worked with two people in his previous life and was very clear about their abilities.

Zhou Yan rested for a while before continuing to film.

They're going to film this long scene today.

That evening, Zhou Yan began writing the fourth part of the "Stormy Jianghu" series – "Sword Rain Jianghu".

The assassin organization Blackstone runs throughout the entire storyline.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, also gave his final explanation.

The Black Stone Organization was Li Longji's secret agent, helping him eliminate dissidents.

The content of "Reign of Assassins" is not much. It is an adaptation of a movie, and too much content would be detrimental.

Therefore, the story will be expanded upon in the future, with a spin-off titled "Painting Rivers and Lakes".

But there's no rush for that.

Because "The Legend of Qin" first appeared in 14.

It's only 2000 now, he has ten years to refine it.

The primary task now is to finish writing the other books.

Jia Jingwen has also been busy lately, taking on two brand endorsements.

Fang Mengya also used her connections to help Jia Jingwen get a role in a drama series, "Li Wei the Magistrate," where she played Yue Siying.

In the previous life, Yue Siying was played by Chen Hao.

But now that Alyssa Chia is willing to star in the film, the investors are naturally more than happy to accept it.

At this time, Alyssa Chia was already a sensation throughout Southeast Asia, and no one would refuse to have such a popular artist join their team.

On July 23, the results of the college entrance examination were officially released.

Not long after, Zhou Yan learned of his score, which was more than 30 points above the first-tier university admission line.

Getting into Beijing Film Academy is a sure thing.

Not long after the college entrance examination results were released, Zhou Yan's phone rang.

To Zhou Yan's surprise, Li Binbin was the first to call.

"Sister Binbin," Zhou Yan answered the phone.

"How did you do on your college entrance exam?" Li Binbin asked with great concern.

"Not bad, more than 30 points above the first-tier university admission line."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Li Binbin was quite surprised to hear Zhou Yan's score.

I didn't expect the other person to have such good grades in academic subjects.

"I was just lucky; I could answer all the questions I encountered," Zhou Yan said modestly.

"Are you still in Kyoto?" Zhou Yan asked.

During this time, he kept in touch with her by phone to cultivate their relationship.

"I just got back a couple of days ago," Li Binbin hesitated for a moment before telling Zhou Yan the truth.

"Where are you? I'm coming to find you." Zhou Yan was instantly excited.

Li Binbin blushed and told Zhou Yan her address.

I'll go there this afternoon.

"Call me in advance so I can tell the property management," said Li Binbin. The community where Li Binbin lives has strict management, and it is difficult for unfamiliar vehicles to enter.

If you have friends visiting, you need to communicate with the property management in advance.

Actually, this is a good thing, as it prevents some idle people from entering.

After all, quite a few celebrities live in this neighborhood!
