: The Star-Studded Launch Press Conference for "The Number One Under Heaven"

In March, Zhou Yan shot the cover of ELLE magazine.

As the first issue of the quarter, this month's magazine is very important, second only to the anniversary issue and the September issue.

This is Zhou Yan's first time appearing on the cover of one of the five major journals, and he attaches great importance to it.

Fang Mengya personally brought Zhou Yan over.

In order to become a familiar face, Zhou Yan even brought Fan Binbin along.

He believed that Fan Binbin would eventually appear in this magazine.

Also in this month, the press conference for the start of filming of "The World's Number One" was held.

March 12, 2001, Kyoto State Guest Hotel, the press conference for "The World's Number One".

Director Wang Jing walked onto the stage with a microphone.

"Thank you to all the media friends for coming. I am Wang Jing, the director of 'The World's Number One,' and I am temporarily serving as the host of this press conference," Wang Jing said with a big smile and a憨态可掬 (endearing and simple) demeanor.

As you all know, "The World's Number One" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Nan Hua.

Although "The World's Number One" is not part of the "Stormy Jianghu" series.

But it was Nan Hua's first work.

Its publication date is the earliest.

Therefore, it has generated a great deal of discussion.

Furthermore, this work draws inspiration from other works, which has been a source of much discussion among readers.

First, there are the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, which is somewhat similar to the Four Great Constables.

Next is the character design.

Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo are somewhat similar to Wei Xiaobao and Princess Jianning.

Duan Tianya's storyline is a mix of Linghu Chong's and Duan Tianya's. Both of them have a hypocritical elder: Duan Tianya's adoptive father, Zhu Wushi, and Linghu Chong's master, Yue Buqun.

Guihai Yidao blends the storylines of Yang Guo and Qiao Feng. Guihai Yidao's severed arm is similar to Yang Guo's, and the process of investigating the truth in the middle is similar to Qiao Feng's investigation of the "Big Brother".

Shangguan Haitang is somewhat like Huang Rong and Zhao Min. She is intelligent and well-versed in poetry and literature, but she also likes to dress as a man, which is similar to Zhao Min.

It is precisely because of the buzz, the posts that sparked controversy, and the people stirring up trouble that "The World's Number One" has become increasingly popular in the past two years.

Wang Jing spoke eloquently to dozens of media outlets below.

Opposite Wang Jing were media personnel with long lenses and microphones, some holding up cameras and others taking pictures like crazy.

"The World's Number One is a joint investment and production by Nanhua Film & Television, Asia-Pacific Film & Television, and Beijing Film Studio, with an investment of up to 3000 million RMB. Filming is expected to be completed in four months..." Wang Jing introduced the relevant information.

"Alright, enough of that. Now, please welcome the actors from our show to the stage and meet everyone," Wang Jing said after giving a brief introduction to "The World's Number One."

"Next, please welcome Huang Haibing, who plays the role of Duan Tianya, the number one secret agent."

As soon as Wang Jing finished speaking, a young man stood up in the actors' waiting area.

Handsome and dashing.

Incredibly dashing.

It was Huang Haibing.

Huang Haibing has become very popular in recent years. From "The Book and the Sword" to "The Sunset of the Forbidden City" and Shen Lang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he has been constantly offered roles and is definitely a male god in period dramas.

The character of Shen Lang, in particular, is a classic.

As Huang Haibing walked in, the media below the stage pressed their shutters one after another, and the flashes of the cameras were continuous.

"Hello everyone, I am Huang Haibing," Huang Haibing said as he took the microphone from a staff member and introduced himself after walking onto the stage.

Huang Haibing has a gentle and refined demeanor, like a humble gentleman, and his smiling face makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

Huang Haibing possesses both elegance and heroic spirit, resembling a spirited scholar or a victorious general; his charisma and good looks are beyond question.

Otherwise, Aunt Qiong Yao wouldn't have been so fond of it.

"This is Huang Haibing, the one who rejected Aunt Qiong Yao! He's truly charming," intern reporter Zhang Tao said excitedly as he watched Huang Haibing walk onto the stage.

He had only been in the industry for a short time and had a great deal of interest in these celebrities and actors.

"It's him," Zhang Tao's senior, Li Donghai, fixed his gaze on Huang Haibing.

It is said that Aunt Qiong Yao had been paying attention to him since 1997 and wanted to invite him to play Erkang in the first part of "My Fair Princess".

Unfortunately, Huang Haibing was filming "Sunset in the Forbidden City" at the time, so he declined Aunt Qiong Yao's offer.

During the filming of "Princess Pearl II" and "Romance in the Rain", Aunt Qiong Yao once again extended an invitation to him, wanting him to play "Xiao Jian" and "He Shuhuan".

Huang Haibing refused again.

By this time, Huang Haibing had already become a household name and was a renowned "ancient costume male god".

It is especially popular in martial arts dramas.

The roles that Aunt Qiong Yao invited him to play were all romance dramas, which did not match his style, so it was normal for him to be rejected.

The last time was when Aunt Qiong Yao wanted to sign Huang Haibing, but he refused. Huang Haibing can be said to be the man who rejected Aunt Qiong Yao four times.

"He's so handsome," Zhang Tao said, his eyes filled with envy. "If I were that handsome, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a girlfriend."

"You should focus on your work and earn money," Li Donghai said, looking at Zhang Tao's expression, offering words of comfort.

After Huang Haibing finished introducing himself, he stood aside.

"Next up is Zhou Yan, who plays our No. 1 secret agent, Guihai Yidao," Wang Jing introduced again.

"Binbin, Yuanyuan, I'm going up first," Zhou Yan said to Fan Shuangbin, Gao Yuanyuan, and others in the actors' rest area.

"Keep it up," Fan Binbin gave Zhou Yan a cheering gesture.

Gao Yuanyuan gave her an encouraging look.

Li Binbin nodded to Zhou Yan.

As soon as Wang Jing finished speaking, a commotion arose from the crowd.

"They're here, they're here."

"Stop talking, take pictures quickly, this is a Berlin Film Festival Best Actor."

"It's finally here. It was worth the wait."

……

As soon as Zhou Yan walked over, the flashbulbs went off.

Why are there so many media outlets here today?

Isn't that why I came here?

The crowd fell silent instantly, but the sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air.

The lights illuminated the surroundings.

Zhou Yan was already used to the blinding flash of light.

He showed no sadness or joy, and his face betrayed no sign of tension.

Zhou Yan came onto the stage and took the microphone from the staff.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Yan, the actor who plays the Earth-level secret agent Gui Hai Yi Dao."

As everyone looked at Zhou Yan on the stage, he had regular features, a handsome appearance, and skin so smooth it looked like he had a beauty filter on. What was most eye-catching was his pair of bright and spirited eyes.

It seems to be constantly emitting electricity.

It's said that Tony Leung looks at dogs with deep affection.

Zhou Yan's eyes were the same.

Profound and captivating.

She wore a black knit sweater with the "World's Number One" logo printed on it, light-colored trousers, and sneakers.

The air is filled with youthful energy and vitality.

Only then did everyone remember that Zhou Yan was only twenty years old and still a freshman in college.

But his achievements make people subconsciously overlook his age and student status.

Zhou Yan has a well-proportioned figure with distinct lines. Standing on the stage, she looks like a model, full of beauty.

This is also why Zhou Yan is favored by the fashion industry.

This job is a natural fit for me.
