Chapter 97

, "Future Plans," invites Li Binbin to play the female lead.

While Zhou Yan was busy in the kitchen, Li Binbin and Li Xue were chatting in the living room.

"Sis, I didn't expect my brother-in-law could cook," Li Xue said, looking towards the kitchen.

"He's younger than you," Li Binbin reminded him.

"No matter how young he is, he's still my brother-in-law," Li Xue corrected.

"Whatever," Li Binbin said helplessly, and could only let Li Xue have his way.

"Sister, if I'm not mistaken, he is still the chairman of [Nanhua Film and Television]," Li Xue had checked Zhou Yan's information and knew that he was from Nanhua and that he had partnered with Fan Binbin to start a company.

"Hmm, what do you want to say?" Li Binbin looked at Li Xue.

"Sis, do I even need to tell you? Hug me to the top!"

Zhou Yan is different from other actors and stars; he is a creator of resources.

Works like "The World's Number One" and "Qin's Moon" can be adapted into TV series or even movies.

"I don't want to get involved in too many conflicts of interest with him," Li Binbin shook his head.

Li Xue was speechless at Li Binbin's love-struck appearance.

Li Xue really couldn't understand it; her sister was quite shrewd.

Why are people so love-obsessed these days?

Shortly after, Zhou Yan came out carrying the dishes.

"Let's eat, let's eat," Zhou Yan said, opening a bottle of red wine.

"It smells so good!" Li Xue smelled the dishes and gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up.

"That's right, Zhou Yan's cooking skills are exceptional," Li Binbin said with a hint of pride.

"Let's eat first," Zhou Yan said, feeling a bit hungry.

"This is my first time meeting Sister Xue, so I'd like to offer you a toast," Zhou Yan said, picking up his wine glass.

"Come on," Li Xue said, picking up her wine glass and gently clinking it against Zhou Yan's.

"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out, pleasant to the ear.

Zhou Yan took a sip and started chatting with Li Xue.

The two talked about everything. Zhou Yan inquired about Huayi, and Li Xue was also very concerned about Nanhua's actions.

The two people exchanged information.

Li Binbin listened to the two chatting while eating his meal.

"Nanhua Film & Television's main task this year is to film 'The World's Number One.' We at Nanhua Film & Television want everyone to know that we not only have the ability to film TV series, but also the ability to film them well."

"The World's Number One" is the first TV series produced by [Nanhua Film & Television].

This also sends a signal to the entertainment industry: they have the ability to produce TV dramas.

Furthermore, it also makes everyone understand that "Nanhua's" cultural works can also be adapted into films and television series, and the resulting productions are no less impressive than those of Jin Yong.

2002 saw the release of many hit TV series, such as "Wind and Cloud" and "The Granary of the World".

Zhou Yan is determined to carve out a path for herself in these TV dramas.

Li Binbin and Li Xue are both well aware of this, as it relates to the future direction of [Nanhua Film & Television].

"By the end of this year, or at the latest next year, [Nanhua Film & Television] plans to enter the film industry."

"A movie?" Li Binbin and Li Xue's eyes lit up at the same time, and they both looked at Zhou Yan.

"What genre of film are you planning to make? Still a martial arts film?"

Li Xue knew that Zhou Yan was skilled in martial arts.

"No," Zhou Yan shook his head.

"I currently have two scripts prepared, one for a commercial film and the other for an art film."

"One is after money, the other is after awards."

"Oh," Li Xue and Li Binbin immediately perked up.

"Can my sister act in it?" Li Xue asked hurriedly.

Li Binbin also looked at Zhou Yan nervously, his eyes full of anticipation.

"These two movies won't do," Zhou Yan shook his head.

"The female lead in the commercial film is Fan Binbin, and the female lead in the art film is Gao Yuanyuan," Zhou Yan said without hiding anything.

The light in Li Binbin's eyes dimmed instantly.

Li Xue was also somewhat disappointed.

"Gao Yuanyuan? Why does she look so familiar?" Li Xue muttered to herself.

"The female lead of 'Beijing Bicycle,' who also went to Berlin with me, was planning to sign with [South China Film Group], and this film was specifically prepared for her."

"Oh, I see," Li Xue said, somewhat understanding.

After all, Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan are both artists under [Nanhua Film & Television], so they will definitely prioritize their own people when it comes to resources.

Li Binbin didn't say anything and lowered his head.

"Next year is packed with tasks. Besides a movie, I also have a TV series to film. However, in 03, I plan to invest in a martial arts movie and I will personally play the male lead. Sister Binbin, are you interested in playing the female lead?" Zhou Yan looked at Li Binbin.

"Me?" Li Binbin hadn't expected that he would have something to do with this.

"Yes," Zhou Yan nodded, "This movie is the fourth installment in the [Stormy Jianghu] series - 'Reign of Assassins.' Although it hasn't been published yet, it's very suitable for adaptation into a movie."

"I've poured a lot of effort into this project, and it's very meaningful to me. It's also the first film in the 'Stormy Jianghu' series that I'm preparing to shoot. I hope you can play the female lead."

Zhou Yan was not lying.

"The World's Number One" marked the beginning of Nanhua Film & Television's production of television dramas.

"Reign of Assassins" marked the beginning of film production by [Nanhua Film & Television].

"Yes," Li Binbin said, deeply moved, and naturally interested.

"I'll send you the script later so you can read it in advance, but don't worry, there are still two years to go."

"I know," Li Binbin said with a smile again.

Seeing this, Li Xue felt much more at ease.

"It's good that I haven't forgotten my sister," Li Xue said, feeling that Zhou Yan was much more pleasing to the eye.

……

In the evening, Zhou Yan and two others gathered together to watch TV, which was showing "Young Justice Bao".

Zhou Yan and Li Binbin were talking about things on set, while Li Xue chatted with the two of them.

Around 10 p.m., Li Binbin yawned.

"It's getting late, you should rest," Li Binbin reminded him.

"I understand," Li Xue understood what Li Binbin meant, and got up to return to the second bedroom.

Zhou Yan and Li Binbin entered the master bedroom.

About an hour later, Zhou Yan looked at Li Binbin.

"Sister Xue is asleep, right?"

"Probably," Li Binbin said, unsure.

"I'll go out and take a look," Li Binbin tiptoed off the bed and opened the door to observe.

Soon, Li Binbin returned.

"Lights out, time to sleep," Li Binbin said softly.

"That's great!" Zhou Yan exclaimed with delight, and immediately hugged Li Binbin into his arms.

"Sister Binbin, you smell so good," Zhou Yan took a deep breath.

"You're annoying," Li Binbin struggled slightly.

"Sister Binbin, the night is too short," Zhou Yan picked up Li Binbin and placed her directly on the bed.

Not long after, strange sounds rang out.

Li Xue hadn't actually slept; she was having trouble falling asleep.

I talked a lot with Zhou Yan today. She discovered that although Nanhua Film and Television is small, it has great potential and its future achievements are limitless.

Moreover, unlike other film and television companies, [Nanhua Film and Television] possesses creative capabilities.

He doesn't need to compete with others for resources; in fact, he can bring resources to others.

"Nanhua Film & Television is a good choice. I wonder if my sister can switch to this company after her contract expires," Li Xue said, valuing the company highly.

Before long, a series of voices came in.

What was that sound?

Li Xue didn't react at first and listened attentively for a while.

Soon, Li Xue realized something, and her face flushed red.

"Oh my god, what are they doing?"

Li Xue was taken aback; it was indeed a pointless question.
