: Invitation to Speak at Beijing Film Academy in 5 Major Publications

Li Binbin thought Li Xue was asleep, and Zhou Yan, like an ox, couldn't suppress his voice at all.

"Is my brother-in-law really that amazing?" Li Xue asked incredulously. "It's been going on for so long, and he still hasn't stopped?"

Li Xue originally thought it would end quickly.

But an hour passed and it still hadn't stopped.

She was a little skeptical.

"Did he take some kind of medication?"

Li Xue had some doubts.

Fortunately, the noise finally stopped.

Li Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No wonder my sister is so infatuated with her, she's really amazing," Li Xue said, feeling her mouth dry after listening for so long.

That night, Li Xue had trouble sleeping and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"How awful!" Li Xue cursed Zhou Yan inwardly, even wanting to stab him with a voodoo doll.

Li Xue was in a daze and didn't know how long it took before he finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Yan got up refreshed and made breakfast.

Li Xue's eyes were red and bloodshot.

"Why are you up so early?" Zhou Yan asked, surprised to see Li Xue.

"I'm used to it," Li Xue said, crossing her arms and looking at the other person with a resentful expression.

Zhou Yan was a little confused. "Your sister is still sleeping. You should wash up first. The food will be ready in a while."

"Hmph," Li Xue snorted coldly and went to the washroom to start washing up.

"baffling."

Just as Zhou Yan was finishing cooking, he woke Li Binbin up.

Over the next few days, Zhou Yan entered a socializing mode, with various cocktail parties, gatherings, and invitations coming one after another.

Some unimportant parties should be declined if possible.

However, he needs to attend some official events in person.

Especially for some public welfare activities, I would participate even if it didn't cost money.

Zhou Yan did indeed get to know quite a few filmmakers and directors at these parties, which formed his network of contacts.

If you want to go far and have a long career in the entertainment industry, you absolutely need connections.

He had experienced this in his previous life.

After he was crowned Best Actor, he suddenly found himself surrounded by many kind and beautiful people.

Some actresses are genuinely proactive and actively seek opportunities with others.

Some wanted to place bets on Zhou Yan in advance.

Some people want to ride the wave of popularity, create a scandal, or boost their fame.

Others were simply attracted to Zhou Yan's good looks and couldn't resist.

Besides these parties, Zhou Yan also gave two interviews, making each day very fulfilling.

Compared to these cocktail parties, Zhou Yan still prefers private gatherings.

Zhou Yan has also been attending quite a few private gatherings lately.

In addition to gatherings with Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, and Li Xue, Zhou Yan also organized a small get-together with Dong Xuan, Guan Yue, Cui Peng, Yang Yang, and Gao Yuan, all of whom were his classmates.

A few days ago, Zhou Yan received a call from Wang Jinsong, who brought back a replica of the "Little Silver Bear" to the campus.

Zhou Yan donated the replica "Little Silver Bear" to the Beijing Film Academy, while keeping the original for his own collection.

The school leaders also organized a donation ceremony and invited several media outlets to witness it.

Zhou Yan even took a group photo with school leaders, which was then hung on the school's honor wall.

At the same time, Zhou Yan was also invited by school leaders to give a speech to students of Beijing Film Academy, sharing his experiences.

All of this was arranged in advance, and he even memorized the script beforehand, so it wasn't very difficult.

As everyone watched Zhou Yan speak eloquently and confidently on stage, a seed was planted in the hearts of countless people, waiting to take root and sprout.

After the speech, Zhou Yan returned to his dormitory and invited Cui Peng, Yang Yang, Gao Yuan, and the four people from Guan Yue and Dong Xuan's dormitory to dinner.

All eight of them were classmates, so they all knew each other and there was no sense of unfamiliarity between them.

Over the next two days, Zhou Yan and Gao Yuanyuan met up with Tian Meng and Meng Fanwen for a meal and talked about recent events.

Meng Fanwen met a girl recently, and the two got along well, but they haven't become a couple yet.

Tian Meng is still single. This girl has a very straightforward and unpretentious personality. She likes what she likes and dislikes what she dislikes, and she directly rejects all suitors.

Only a very few people persisted, relentlessly pursuing her, believing that one day they could move her heart.

Next, Zhou Yan visited Jia Jingwen's home.

The two had a very pleasant conversation and talked all night long.

……

"Mr. Zhou, you've finally arrived!" Seeing Zhou Yan come to the company, Xu Li felt like she had seen a savior. She had too many documents piling up that needed to be processed.

"What's wrong?"

"I was just about to report to you," Xu Li said, taking out the prepared materials and handing them to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan reached out and took it, then examined it.

"These are the manufacturers we've invited to collaborate with recently; they've already gone through three rounds of screening."

The document contains the manufacturer's name and a price quote.

Many of these are well-known companies.

Dairy products such as Mengniu and Yili, as well as daily necessities such as Head & Shoulders and Clear.

There are quite a few dozen of them.

Mengniu offered the highest price: 18 million over three years.

In comparison, Yili is much inferior.

"So high?" Zhou Yan was somewhat surprised; this price was comparable to Andy Lau's.

In fact, Zhou Yan understood why Mengniu offered such a high price.

Mengniu was founded in 1999, much later than Yili.

They now need to compete with Yili for market share.

Therefore, it is necessary to have an influential celebrity endorsement.

Zhou Yan is not only young, but also has many honors and is a mainland star, which fits their image perfectly.

"Forget everything else, let's take the Mengniu endorsement," Zhou Yan said, accepting the Mengniu endorsement.

"Okay," Xu Li said without adding anything more.

If it were any other celebrity, she would definitely have made arrangements.

But Zhou Yan is the boss.

"This invitation from ELLE magazine is for you to be the first issue of the season."

ELLE is one of the five major fashion magazines in the future. The five major fashion magazines refer to the five first-tier women's fashion magazines recognized by the Chinese fashion industry, which specifically include VOGUE, ELLE, Harper's BAZAAR, Marie Claire, and COSMOPOLITAN.

These are magazines that many female celebrities aspire to appear in.

These five major publications also represent a high level of prestige.

In addition, male celebrities also have their own "Big Five" magazines, namely the top-tier magazines: GQ China and Esquire; and the near-top-tier magazines: L'Officiel Hommes, Harper's Bazaar Men, and Elle Men.

Collecting all five covers constitutes a "men's magazine full slam".

This is also the goal pursued by many male stars.

Because this thing is closely related to high-end luxury brands.

The more magazines you appear in, the more high-end luxury brands will seek cooperation with you, which means you can earn more money.

Although ELLE is a women's magazine, that doesn't mean it doesn't invite male celebrities.

In fact, many male stars have graced the covers of the five major women's magazines, such as Jackie Chan, Wang Yibo, Xie Tingfeng, and Jackson Yee, among others.

"A quarterly publication?" Zhou Yan muttered. "That's something we can do."

Zhou Yan took the documents from Xu Li and began to examine them.

In addition to ELLE, Esquire also extended an invitation, both of which showed considerable sincerity.

"Let's accept these two first, and wait for the others." Zhou Yan decided to accept ELLE and Esquire.

"Okay," Xu Li then took out another document and handed it to Zhou Yan.

"This is an invitation to interview from various media outlets, and we hope you can participate."

Zhou Yan rubbed his temples and saw that there were many invitations.

"Let's postpone these shows for now," Zhou Yan said, feeling that he had been too popular lately and needed to cool things down, so that others could also benefit.

"Then I'll turn them all down," Xu Li nodded.

As for offers to work on TV dramas, Zhou Yan has also looked at them.

However, he needed to film "The World's Finest", so he had to reluctantly give it up.
