: Brother Long's Future Female Stars

Like Kyoto, Shanghai has hosted book signing events before, so there weren't many people this time, but it still attracted book fans from Suzhou, Jiaxing and other places.

Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province, and since it was my first time visiting, there were many book fans there.

Zhou Yan held a book signing event for two consecutive days.

Next, we arrived in Xiamen, one of Zhou Yan's favorite cities.

It's a pity we didn't have enough time, otherwise we would definitely have gone to Gulangyu Island for a visit.

Then there's Guangzhou in Guangdong Province.

Despite his busy schedule, Zhou Yan met with Brother Ma and the two had a meal together.

Zhou Yan handed over the QQ future development plan to the other party.

Little Ma flipped through a few pages, becoming more and more pleasantly surprised.

"Where did you come from?" Little Ma asked Zhou Yan hurriedly.

"I write."

"That can't be right," Little Ma said, somewhat incredulously. "You're a writer, how would you know about these things?"

"You can interpret this as me having a master guiding me," Zhou Yan said without elaborating.

"I'm willing to hire them at a high salary if they're willing to come to Tencent," Little Ma believed him and sincerely extended the invitation.

With this plan, the penguin can grow rapidly.

Many things inside were refreshing to him.

For example, QQ groups and QQ spaces are quite good.

"Let's not think about that for now," Zhou Yan refused decisively.

"Okay," Little Ma said, somewhat disappointed.

Little Ma then went on to talk about QQ.

Little Ma gave Zhou Yan a QQ number consisting entirely of "1"s, which was then managed and promoted by company personnel.

The number of people who added this account during this period far exceeded his expectations.

After listening, Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, "Let's get the QQ Space thing sorted out quickly. When I upload photos to QQ Space and share my own updates, QQ's downloads should increase."

"I'll get the tech department to work overtime as soon as I get back."

Pony Ma didn't stay long; he returned to Shenzhen early the next morning and convened a meeting with senior management.

After leaving Guangzhou, Zhou Yan went to Hong Kong.

Despite its small size, Hong Kong has a considerable sales volume.

Zhou Yan's martial arts novels have sold well, and the martial arts atmosphere is very strong in Hong Kong.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Zhou Yan met with Mr. Jin Yong and others, as arranged by the organizers.

This was also the first time Zhou Yan had met Jin Yong.

The two talked for a long time, discussing not only their works and future development plans, but also some personal matters.

"Are you interested in filming my work?" Jin Yong asked Zhou Yan with a broad smile.

Over the years, his works have been adapted into films and television series many times.

The most numerous of these are "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

"Of course," Zhou Yan nodded, Jin Yong's works are still very compelling.

"If you ever want to film my work, just let me know," Jin Yong said, feeling a strong connection with Zhou Yan.

"must."

Besides Mr. Jin Yong, Zhou Yan also met with Liang Yusheng and Huang Yi.

They have all grown old, their youth gone.

This left Zhou Yan with many emotions.

On the night before his departure, Zhou Yan took some time to visit Yuan Heping.

"Eighth Master," this was his first time visiting Yuen Woo-ping's home.

"Xiao Yan is here," Yuen Woo-ping said warmly.

Besides Yuen Woo-ping, Zhou Yan also met a familiar person—Cheng Long.

"Big brother?" Zhou Yan was quite surprised.

I never expected to see Jackie Chan here.

"You know this person, right?" Yuen Woo-ping led Zhou Yan into the house.

"Of course I know him, Brother Cheng Long," Zhou Yan thought. If he didn't know him, he wouldn't be in the entertainment industry.

By this time, Jackie Chan had already made his mark on the international stage.

"Rumble in the Bronx" and "Rush Hour" are his works.

"This is Zhou Yan, a junior of mine," Yuen Woo-ping introduced Zhou Yan to Cheng Lung.

"Hello," Cheng Long was also a little surprised, as he rarely saw Yuen Woo-ping introducing people to him.

It seems you value the other person highly.

Zhou Yan also sat down and started chatting.

However, most of the time it was Cheng Long asking questions and Zhou Yan answering.

Cheng Long was really curious about Zhou Yan.

"So you're still a writer?" Cheng Long has been living abroad for a long time, so he's not aware of many things in China.

"Yes," Zhou Yan nodded.

Jackie Chan gave a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration.

"Like Li Lianjie, he is a national martial arts champion," Yuen Woo-ping said with a smile.

In 1975, Li Lianjie participated in the Wushu Taolu competition at the National Games and won the all-around championship.

In 1997, Zhou Yan also won the championship, and also won a silver medal.

"Aren't you a writer?" Jackie Chan asked, somewhat bewildered.

Is writing a form of martial arts practice, or martial arts a form of writing?

"I am a writer, but also a martial arts athlete," Zhou Yan explained.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing! Did you learn martial arts first, or did you write the book first?" Brother Cheng Long asked curiously.

"I learned martial arts first, and then wrote books."

……

As we chatted, it got past nine o'clock.

Zhou Yan didn't stay long; he had to catch a flight the next day, so he said goodbye to Yuen Woo-ping and Brother Cheng Long.

Yuen Woo-ping and Cheng Lung personally escorted him to the door.

Watching Zhou Yan's departing figure, Cheng Long sighed with admiration, "This young man is truly remarkable!"

Some people are already very impressive for achieving one thing.

Zhou Yan excelled in both literature and art.

"He's also an actor," Yuen Woo-ping said with a smile. "You've just come back, so you don't know him well. This kid is very popular in mainland China right now."

Yuen Woo-ping can't help but be happy whenever this topic comes up.

I wasn't mistaken; the other party was indeed a diamond in the rough.

"I really don't know," Cheng Long said, genuinely unaware.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he may surpass Li Lianjie in the future," Yuen Woo-ping said with great confidence in Zhou Yan.

Their generation is gradually aging, and the future belongs to the young.

Cheng Long was even more surprised after hearing this and made a mental note of Zhou Yan.

……

After leaving Hong Kong, Zhou Yan traveled to other cities.

Finally, we flew from Bincheng to Taiwan.

Zhou Yan's autograph session in Taiwan was the most enthusiastic, without exception. Many students even skipped classes to come and crowd the autograph session.

"Oh my god, Ah Fei is so handsome."

"He's even more handsome than the 'Ah Fei' characters on TV."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm suffocating."

"Slow down, everyone slow down, don't push me."

"It's just a book signing event, is it really that big of a deal?"

……

Security personnel continued to come up to maintain order, but a minor disturbance still occurred.

Fortunately, no major accidents occurred.

That day, the incident even made the news in Taiwan.

At the scene, Zhou Yan's smile almost froze, and he frantically wrote with his right hand.

He never expected to have so many fans in Taiwan.

Some fans even came over with his "Little Li Flying Dagger" posters asking for autographs, and Zhou Yan didn't refuse.

The only regret was that he was too rushed and didn't even have time to properly enjoy the sights.

At the book signing event, Zhou Yan saw many familiar faces.

Actresses like Ivy Chen, Janine Chang, Bea Hayden, and Michelle Chen all look very young.

Their features were so distinctive that Zhou Yan recognized them at a glance.

After asking for his name, Zhou Yan became even more certain that he had not mistaken him for someone else.

Then, Zhou Yan wrote a message on their books and gave them a warm smile.

None of these girls have debuted yet, but it's only a matter of time before they enter the entertainment industry.

I spent the entire month of October at book signings, and before I knew it, it was November.

Also in this month, Zhou Yan reached a cooperation agreement with Kyoto Asia-Pacific Audio-Visual and Kyoto Film Studio to co-produce "The World's Number One".

In exchange, Kyoto Asia-Pacific Audio-Visual offered "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in a collaboration with [Nanhua Film & Television].

This is the first time that [Nanhua Film & Television] has collaborated with another company.

Hu En's introduction, assistance, and impetus also played a role.

Director Hu En is no longer the director of the National Television Drama Production Center. In January of this year, Hu En was appointed as the deputy director of CCTV, further increasing his power.

Although Hu En was promoted, his prestige at the National Television Drama Production Center remained, and helping Zhou Yan was just a matter of a word.
