Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 370 Insults should be directed at short stature; Huayi Brothers goes public, a new era begins.
Yan Li only learned that Xu Qing had left overnight when he went to the film set the next day.

Fan Xiaopang's attack was too destructive, and it also exposed some things that Xu Qing had been intentionally or unintentionally ignoring and deceiving him.

This woman had already finished filming her scenes on set and was making excuses to stay, but when she lost her composure, she simply left.

Yan Li called her, but she didn't answer. I don't know what that means.

A phone call to stop the flight, then a high-speed drive to the airport, a flurry of kisses, and an apology and reconciliation drama—that's impossible for Yan Li.

Xu Qing seems to be emotionally unstable right now, let's contact her again later.

Originally, everyone had agreed to collaborate and exchange ideas on set, so it wasn't a big deal to part ways early. However, Xu Qing had gotten caught up in the gossip, and he would try to make it up to her later.

"Master Yan, are you alright?"

Uncle Ge asked with concern that ever since the scene involving drinking champagne and the banquet at Hongmen was linked, the two of them had started calling each other Master Ge and Master Yan, and sometimes Jiang Wen would join in the fun.

"Hey, it's nothing."

Yan Li calmly dusted off the corner of his clothes. Yesterday, he knelt behind Fan Xiaopang and apologized to him earnestly. Fan Xiaopang was moved by his sincerity and finally forgave him while crying.

Of course, there were also some feuds and exchanges between Dong Xuan and Fan Xiaopang during this period, but these are things that are not for outsiders to know.

"hard!"

Having been in the industry for so many years, Uncle Ge has heard of and witnessed countless instances of catching cheaters on set.

It's rare for a situation to escalate to this point and be resolved peacefully; it usually involves at least two days of chaos. It's truly rare to see someone like Yan Li, who arrived on time for filming the next day and was almost completely unscathed.

When this topic came up, Yan Li became gossipy: "How did Director Feng handle this this year? You two are on good terms, tell us about it."

Yan Li was referring to the "overnight stay scandal" that broke out this year. Feng Xiaogang had a close relationship with a female host from Phoenix TV. Since 2007, she had hosted many of his events, and there have been related rumors circulating.

At the beginning of the year, paparazzi photographed Feng and the female host returning to one of his residences and not leaving all night.

It's worth mentioning that the female host initially claimed to be married, but later clarified that she had divorced last year and was now single.

In other words, Feng Xiaogang was the director behind the scenes, and since the host wasn't very famous, Huayi Brothers tried their best to keep a low profile, which prevented the scandal from escalating.

Since it was a private matter between old partners, Uncle Ge didn't talk much about it, but just praised Xu Fan.

This person is truly magnanimous; at the time, they actively cooperated with Feng and Huayi to handle the initial and final stages.

Normally, we turn a blind eye and pretend we don't know anything unless the neighbors or the situation escalates.

Uncle Ge even joked about Yan Li: "I've never seen Xu Fan storm the film set to target anyone."

"If it's too warm, it's not exciting. Sometimes I just like to eat something piping hot, it's stimulating."

Yan Li wasn't just being stubborn; one of the reasons he liked Fan Xiaopang was her temperament. If she were like Qin Lan and Dong Xuan, it would be boring.

He has a eclectic palate; he wants to try everything, from sour and sweet to bitter and spicy, and from warm to cold and icy.

Grandpa Ge gave a thumbs up. Although he thought Yan Li was being a bit stubborn, he thought that, putting aside Fan Xiaopang's appearance and fame, his contributions to Yi An alone made it understandable for him to be a little willful sometimes.

As they were chatting, Jiang Wen arrived. As soon as he saw Yan Li, he burst out laughing: "Brother, did your wife scratch you yesterday? Look at you, you didn't even tell me beforehand, I would have stopped her for you."

Stop my ass! You old codger, you were the fastest runner yesterday.

"fine."

Yan Li brushed it off lightly, then patted Uncle Ge on the shoulder: "We're having a chat. I lack experience, so I need to learn from my seniors."

"Hey, Lao Jiang, you started out early. Have you ever heard of someone in the industry who had someone block their door to catch them cheating and had to write a guarantee? I'll have to interview this guy later and see how he escaped from that tiger's mouth."

Jiang Wen: "..."

You shouldn't insult someone by pointing out their weaknesses. No wonder Fan Xiaopang was so venomous yesterday; he learned it all from you.

Grandpa Ge was watching the fun from the sidelines, almost laughing so hard he was breathless. Jiang Wen couldn't stand it anymore and slapped his thigh.

"Brother, let me tell you something. Back when someone was sent to the countryside..."

Grandpa Ge jumped up and covered Jiang Wen's mouth: "I was wrong. You two brothers are fighting, don't drag me into it."

Yan Li, however, stood aside and egged him on, partly out of curiosity and partly because he didn't want Uncle Ge to be left out.

If everyone makes a fool of themselves, it's the same as no one making a fool of themselves. If we're going to make fun of it, then we'll all make fun of it together.

After laughing and joking around for a while, filming began. It's now almost the end of October, and Yan Li's scenes are numbered in just a few days.

The main scenes have been filmed most of the time. Now it's more about coordinating and seeing what Jiang Wen thinks, and doing some reshoots.

Yan Li made it clear that he could cooperate if the schedule was delayed by a few days, but it would be difficult to get him to come back and reshoot scenes after filming was finished and he left.

Therefore, Jiang Wen must figure out all the details regarding Huang Silang's role before Yan Li leaves.

Jiang Wen considered that Fan Xiaopang was coming to visit the set, so he did his duty and slightly adjusted the schedule, so Yan Li would finish work at 2 pm.

Yan Li originally wanted to arrange a restaurant and take Dong Fan out for a meal, but he was afraid that the two of them would cause trouble, so he simply took a detour and bought some food to take back home.

Yan Li unlocked the door and entered. Dong Xuan was watching TV while holding a cat. Yan Li asked in confusion, "Bingbing is gone?"

If Fan Xiaopang wants to leave, he should at least tell him.

"Still sleeping inside, like a pig."

Dong Xuan complained, but then the bedroom door opened and Fan Xiaopang came out with his hair down.

"You're the pig. I'm just annoyed by you, that's why I don't bother coming out."

As he spoke, Fan Xiaopang came over barefoot, opened the lunchbox, and picked up some braised food with his hands, which Dong Xuan found disgusting.

Did you wash your hands?

Fan Xiaopang chewed on his food, gestured with his fingers as if scratching, and said, "You think your own stuff is dirty?"

Even Yan Li couldn't stand it anymore: "Go wash your hands quickly."

"I washed it a long time ago, otherwise I could have eaten it."

Fan Xiaopang wiped his hands with a tissue, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and reached out to snatch Dong Xuan's cat, but she refused.

"Don't touch it, or it'll scratch you."

"No, I saw it yesterday. It's a silly cat, it definitely wouldn't dare to scratch me."

Fan Xiaopang pinched the Ragdoll cat's face, and the cat meowed softly, letting him do as he pleased.

"look."

Dong Xuan gritted her teeth and stroked the Ragdoll cat: "You're hopeless."

"Cats resemble their owners."

Fan Xiaopang casually added insult to injury, and Dong Xuan put the cat down and glared at him: "Are you looking for trouble? I've been in a bad mood lately, so don't go looking for trouble."

"Oh my, you wouldn't have guessed at all. I saw someone laughing like that yesterday."

Fan Xiaopang gritted her teeth. She had wanted to get revenge on that guy surnamed Dong for taking advantage of her yesterday.

Yan Li, who came out of the bathroom, saw the two of them and shook his head: "You two weren't making a fuss when I wasn't home, but you started fighting as soon as I got back. You're putting on a show for me, aren't you?"

Dong Xuan snorted coldly: "This is my territory. Make her leave now. I don't want to see her."

Fan Xiaopang retorted, "The house is in your name, but I'd say it's my home."

Yan Li remained silent, but took out his phone and pointed it at the two of them. Fan Xiaopang instinctively covered his face.

"What are you doing?"

Yan Li explained, "You two continue. I'll take a picture and send it to Qin Lan. She's been having morning sickness these past few days and is in a bad mood. She'll definitely be happy to see you two arguing."

"Pooh."

Fan Xiaopang spat at him, and Dong Xuan simply threw a pillow at him.

Yan Li didn't take it seriously; the best way to resolve internal conflicts was to create external ones.

He always used this trick, and it always worked.

By bringing Qin Lan in, he could divert some of his attention, and the tension between the two would lessen.

Since they rarely got together, Yan Li didn't want to waste time arguing and mediating.

"I bought a few DVDs, I'll watch a movie later."

Since there are three of us, it's inconvenient to go out, and there aren't any particularly good entertainment options at home, let's watch a movie.

If Yan Li has free time these days, he watches movies with Dong Xuan, which is a pretty good way to relax and unwind.

Fan Xiaopang had no objection either, domineeringly taking up Yan Li's right side, and even preemptively sticking his feet into Yan Li's arms to warm them.

Dong Xuan was a step too late, but she didn't give up. She snuggled into Yan Li's arms and even used the university incident to provoke Fan Xiaopang.

When the two were dating in college, Yan Li didn't have much money. Sometimes he would specifically look for hotels with TVs and DVDs, and then rent DVDs to watch, which saved him the cost of movie tickets and allowed him to watch several movies at once.

To be fair, back then they were both young and full of youthful vigor, and once they got hooked, the movies would often be dubbed before they were even halfway through.

Fan Xiaopang blinked: "So you all go to cheap hotels? When Yan Li and I are together, we always stay in top-tier European hotels."

"Thank you. You endured the hard times, and I'll enjoy the good times."

Dong Xuan was speechless for a moment, and finally retorted: "Vain, stealing other people's men, you vixen."

"Then why did you go back to your ex? Qin Lan already said that she was Yan Li's girlfriend back then."

Since Fan Xiaopang arrived late, he couldn't compete with seniority, so he simply started to "use someone else to do his dirty work".

When she faced off against Dong Xuan, she sided with Qin Lan. But when it came to a fight with Qin Lan, she started to defend Dong Xuan, demonstrating her flexibility.

However, if one were to confront Chairman Qin, one would either sow discord or disregard seniority, ignoring the order of precedence and instead focusing on contributions to Yanli's business, one's own abilities, and external recognition.

As the saying goes, the one with the strongest army and the most powerful horses is the emperor, and the one who is the most popular is the empress.

The rightful wife isn't something you fight for, it's something you earn through hard work!

Despite the various controversies, Fan Xiaopang is indeed the more publicly recognized official wife of Yan Li, otherwise she wouldn't have forced Chairman Qin to join forces.

"Alright, let's just enjoy the movie."

Yan Li patted their butts to calm them down, but after a while, Fan Xiaopang started poking at him with his foot again, only to be caught red-handed by Dong Xuan.

"shameless."

"You have no shame! The baby hasn't even been conceived yet, and you were already calling me 'Dad' yesterday."

Fan Xiaopang's attack power was too fierce, and Dong Xuan was no match for him in a one-on-one fight, which forced Yan Li to take sides.

"Say less. I gave her the grain yesterday. If you keep yelling like this, you'll become a goddess who grants children if Dong Xuan gets pregnant."

Dong Xuan's eyes lit up, and she smiled at Fan Xiaopang, saying, "Hey, if I get something out of you, I'll give you a big red envelope."

"Dream on you."

Fan Xiaopang scoffed, "Qin Lan is almost showing her pregnancy, and you still haven't made a move. You should save that red envelope for Qin Lan's baby's one-month celebration."

Dong Xuan's smile vanished; this sly fox relentlessly mocked her over this matter.

Fan Xiaopang wasn't about to let her off the hook, adding fuel to the fire: "Don't you have a little sister named Yaya? Since you look so alike, why don't you ask her for a favor and raise her as your own child? After all, she's Yan Li's offspring."

Dong Xuan was furious: "Hey Fan, watch your mouth! Don't drag my sister into our business."

"hehe."

Fan Xiaopang sneered: "Don't play innocent. You found someone who looks like you and is so much younger than you, and you take her with you every day. Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

“One or two people criticized Wang Ou for being a bad person, but one of them formed a Teddy Sisters group, and the other formed a fake twin group and a bunch of female students.”

"I'd like to ask you, are you really forming a clique, or are you just using this to compete for favor at a crucial moment? Tsk tsk, sisters united, you really know how to play the game."

Fan Xiaopang always felt that Chairman Qin's motives for forming cliques were not clean.

Qin Lan was not mentioned; she didn't believe Qin Lan knew nothing about Huo Siyan's character.

The Teddy Sisters, haha, could become Yan Li's harem in the blink of an eye.

Dong Xuan and Tong Yaya look so alike, she doesn't believe Dong Xuan doesn't know who her man is, or what she might associate with him. And those female students from Beijing Film Academy, so pretty and young, full of dreams for the future, humph.

Even if the two of them don't have any feelings for each other now, will they waver when they get older and face wave after wave of challenges from young girls?

Fan Xiaopang felt that Chairman Qin was no better than Wang Ou; only he himself was noble and pure, blooming alone.

"fart."

Dong Xuan was truly enraged: "Don't use your dirty tricks to slander me, and don't pretend to be a good person, as if everyone knows about your little affair with Li Bingbing."

"........."

Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but blurt out, "Is she and I just allies?"

Dong Xuan countered, "Allies piled up on top of each other?"

"You and Qin Lan are the same."

“We have never denied it, much less pretended to be innocent while harboring our own sinister intentions and then slandering others.”

Dong Xuan was furious. They had been arguing and mocking each other, but Fan Xiaopang's words had now attacked her character and professional ethics, which she absolutely could not accept.

"Then tell me, you really never thought about Tong Yaya and Yan Li's relationship."

Yan Li also turned his gaze over; he was genuinely curious. Dong Xuan panicked slightly, then firmly stated.

"No."

"You hesitated, you're lying."

Fan Xiaopang seized on Dong Xuan's momentary hesitation and began his attack, leaving Dong Xuan both ashamed and angry.

"I didn't do it. It's not wrong to occasionally make a connection, but you haven't made any connections."

Fan Xiaopang replied firmly, "No."

Yan Li shook his head: "I don't believe it. You told me about the Seven Immortals last time..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fan Xiaopang covered her mouth. She had a bold and outgoing personality and was quite uninhibited; it was normal for her to occasionally make some lighthearted remarks in private.

Dong Xuan looked at Fan Xiaopang with disdain. Everyone talks big, and it's inevitable that some people have thought about exciting things.

Attacking others by claiming that something didn't happen, or forcibly convicting them based on subjective speculation, is indeed somewhat unfounded.

Yan Li also seriously asked Fan Xiaopang to apologize to Dong Xuan.

A few words of bickering are fine, and it's easy to throw accusations at each other. But if he doesn't care, the fight will only escalate, and who knows what kind of accusations he might throw at them later.

Seeing Yan Li's expression, Fan Xiaopang didn't dare to argue and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

Normally she could make a fuss, but Yan Li had changed his attitude, so making a fuss would only make things worse for her.

Dong Xuan stroked her chin: "Is an apology enough? Should we offer tea as an apology?"

Fan Xiaopang gritted his teeth: "I'll kowtow to you twice more, and call you Grandma."

"Okay."

Dong Xuan nodded, and Fan Xiaopang reached out and grabbed her with all his might: "Come on, let me take good care of Grandma."

Seeing the two of them rolling around in a heap, Yan Li glanced at the movie that was less than a tenth of the way through, sighed, and began to unbutton his shirt.

I still softened my heart yesterday and didn't discipline them properly...

…On October 26th, Yan Li finished filming for "Let the Bullets Fly," a few days later than the original 40-day schedule, but it was still acceptable.

Yan Li had a good experience filming this time, and he enjoyed acting.

The only regret was that Dong Xuan was still not pregnant, which led the two to go to Hong Kong for a check-up before returning to Beijing.

Although both the hospitals and intelligence systems in Beijing have confirmed that the two are perfectly normal, and that it is most likely due to bad luck and stress, Dong Xuan is anxious and wants to get some information to put her mind at ease.

Upon returning to the capital, Yan Li spent time with Qin Lan, in addition to some work.

The latter was suffering from severe morning sickness and did not go to visit the set. Yan Li only came back to see her once in the middle of the day, and the rest of the time they talked on the phone or video chatted.

Despite experiencing morning sickness, Qin Lan is in pretty good condition.

With her own mother by her side and her mother-in-law doting on her, several of her sisters and friends take turns visiting her. Although Yan Li is not around, he still makes time to chat with her every day, no matter how busy he is. This is much better than before when she would not see him for two or three days at a time.

So much so that when Yan Li returned, he felt that Qin Lan was a little different from the miserable pregnant woman he had imagined. She had even gained some weight despite her severe morning sickness.

However, there has been a slight change. Perhaps due to her age and pregnancy, Qin Lan, who was already talkative, has become even more talkative.

Yan Li had already experienced this when he talked to her on the phone and video chatted with her before, and after returning home, Qin Lan kept talking non-stop.

Even when Yan Li deliberately didn't respond, she could still continue talking to herself.

Yan Li even conducted a test, and the longest time limit was more than half an hour. This was not Qin Lan's limit, but because Yan Li simply couldn't bear to listen to her anymore.

Honestly, Yan Li felt a little sorry for his unborn eldest son.

Having a mother like this means you'll be nagging her your whole life!
Yan Li was struggling, but the Teddy Sisters were doing alright.

Perhaps they've gotten used to it, or perhaps they're just naturally talkative. When a group of them get together, it's like running a duck farm, especially Ying Cai'er, who's always laughing with her mouth wide open. Yan Li is even afraid she'll eat children.

Yan Li has made up her mind that she can relax about everything in the new home except for making sure the soundproofing is done well, so that she and her child can have a quiet space.

Unlike now, when I'm in my study after get off work and checking a few emails, I can hear the women in the living room chattering away.

Yan Li opened the door and stepped into the living room. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Lan pulled him to sit down.

"Huayi Brothers went public, and Siyan made a fortune. She's going to treat everyone. Where do you suggest we go?"

Yan Li finally understood why these women were so excited, and looked at Huo Siyan: "Congratulations."

Huo Siyan smiled brightly: "I also have to thank my brother-in-law for his guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make this fortune."

This isn't flattery towards Yan Li. She personally doesn't understand these financial investments and isn't interested in them. If Yan Li hadn't reminded her, she might not have bought Huayi Brothers' original shares.

As she originally thought, a significant proportion of the employees at Huayi Brothers are artists, such as Zhou Xun and Ge You.

Yan Li asked curiously, "How much did you make this round?"

"Quite a lot."

Xiong Naijin, standing next to her, said with envy, "My third sister only spent a little over a million yuan when she bought it, and now the stock is worth almost 2000 million yuan."

An investment that has multiplied dozens of times is something everyone would envy, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Even if she were still with Huayi Brothers, let alone now that she's no longer there, given her status and contributions, she wouldn't be able to buy any original shares.

Well, she might not be willing to buy it.

A little over a million isn't much for Huo Siyan. She's currently a popular young actress in the industry, and she can get some resources from Huayi Brothers and Yi An Entertainment. Even if she works lazily, she can still earn a few million a year.

Not to mention, she also had her own private sources of income. The pocket money Yan Li gave her was never less than six figures.

Xiong Naijin is really not good enough. She has low fame and limited income. Artists also have various expenses. She struggles to come up with hundreds of thousands of yuan, so how could she be willing to take out these savings to invest?

Not only Xiong Naijin was envious, but everyone present was envious, including Ma Yili and Li Xiaolu, who were doing quite well.

Huo Siyan only makes a few million a year, and they are not much better off than her.

When looking at celebrity income, you can't just look at the big names. They are at the top of the industry and have relatively concentrated resources, so they definitely earn more. Many first- or second-tier or mid-tier celebrities only earn a few million or even a few hundred thousand a year.

This is no exaggeration; you can see it from last year's Forbes Celebrity List.

Many well-known celebrities only earn two or three million in the entertainment industry. Five million is a threshold, and those who can reach it are all top stars.

Those with over 1000 million are only a few big shots and influential figures in the industry; the number of people on the list does not exceed thirty.

Huo Siyan's nearly 2000 million yuan would take Ma Yili and Wen Zhang, who are both building their careers, several years to save up, not to mention Li Xiaolu herself.

It's not that sisters can't be rich, but it's too upsetting if sisters become rich overnight.

Huo Siyan was still showing off without realizing it; well, considering her personality, it might have been intentional.

Within the Teddy Sisters group, Huo Siyan is generous, but not known for being wealthy.

Qin Lan goes without saying, Li Xiaolu comes from a wealthy family, Gan Wei married a rich husband, Ma Yili and her husband have a good income, and Liu Yun and Ying Cai'er are both worldly-wise. Huo Siyan's family background is really nothing to brag about.

Until this time with Huayi Brothers stock, Huo Siyan made a fortune of nearly 2000 million yuan, finally able to hold her head high. If she had held back from showing off, she would have been suffocated.

Huo Siyan's arrogance naturally displeased the other sisters, and Ma Yili looked at Yan Li, who was enjoying the spectacle.

"President Yan, Huayi Brothers' market value has reached over 90 billion this time. Your Yi'an must have even more."

This is a pointless statement, but Ma Yili used it to shut Huo Siyan up.

What's so arrogant about having only 2000 million worth of stocks? This person's stocks might be worth nearly 200 billion!

Huo Siyan's eyes lit up: "Yes, Yi'an's stocks are definitely worth more. My brother-in-law is going to make a fortune."

She was envious of others making money, but she couldn't possibly be envious of Yan Li making money. To some extent, Yan Li had helped her earn those 2000 million yuan. She couldn't wait for Yan Li to make a big fortune so that she could probably get some benefits herself.

Mentioning this, everyone present looked at Yan Li, including Qin Lan. No matter how carefree she was, she couldn't possibly be indifferent to her own business and assets.

"It can definitely be taller, but we don't know how much taller."

To be honest, Huayi Brothers' stock price disappointed him somewhat. He remembered from the future intelligence report that Huayi Brothers' stock price broke 10 billion on its first day of trading, with an exaggerated increase that shocked the industry and caused an uproar in the market.

But unexpectedly, because of my appearance, Huayi Brothers failed to reach 10 billion.

This also proves that Yi An's rise has had a tremendous impact on Huayi Brothers.

It's impossible for two leading companies to exist in the entertainment industry. Yi'an's various advantages have led many in the market to abandon Huayi Brothers.

Currently, most of the market is watching and waiting for Yi'an, the true leader in film and entertainment stocks, to go public; that would be a feast for financial capital.

Even though Huayi Brothers is passive and somewhat dispensable, the fact that it has achieved a market value of nearly 10 billion yuan is a testament to the capabilities of the Wang brothers.

With the current momentum, it wouldn't be difficult for the Wang brothers to boast and push Huayi Brothers to reach a market value of 10 billion yuan.

With the further development of the film and television market in the future, and even with the wave triggered by Yi An's listing, Huayi Brothers is expected to see several more surges in the short term. Overall, Huayi Brothers still has considerable prospects.

As they were talking, Yan Li's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, silenced everyone, and answered the call.

"Why did you think of contacting me instead of holding a celebration party, Mr. Wang?"

"Juju, now?"

"Well, okay."

Yan Li said a few words, hung up the phone, and looked at Qin Lan: "The two big shots from Huayi Brothers are looking for me. It's related to Yi'an's listing. I'll go take a look."

Qin Lan never held Yan Li back from his work: "It's cold outside, I'll go get you a coat."

Yan Li stopped him: "No need, I'll go myself."

Yan Li went to change his clothes, and Huo Siyan's eyes lit up. She volunteered, "Sister, those two guys from Huayi are the dirtiest. I'll go with my brother-in-law too, so I can help protect him if anything happens."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolu subconsciously pursed her lips, Zhao Ke also looked up at the ceiling, while Qin Lan pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

In the past, when Yan Li went to some social events hosted by Huayi Brothers, Huo Siyan would accompany him, ostensibly to block Huayi Brothers' public relations efforts. Yan Li had reported this to Huo Siyan, but Huo Siyan did it openly, and Qin Lan had gotten used to it.

Li Xiaolu tugged at Huo Siyan, but the latter ignored her, so she couldn't help but say something.

"Is Third Sister alright by herself? Why don't I go too, so I can keep an eye on her?"

Qin Lan hesitated: "It's not appropriate for you to go. After all, Si Yan is from Huayi Brothers, while you are from Orange Sky. It's not easy to have a good conversation with her."

Regardless of whether Huo Siyan was an undercover agent or not, she got involved on both sides. When the two sides discussed things, she wouldn't reveal the truth after giving instructions, and both sides had a certain degree of trust. It would be different if it were someone else.

Liu Yun rolled up his sleeves: "I'll go."

She is also an artist under Huayi Brothers, but she doesn't have a high profile.

Huo Siyan couldn't help but pinch Li Xiaolu. Liu Yun was Qin Lan's loyal follower, but they didn't get along. If she went there, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

Li Xiaolu gave her a look that said, "Serves you right."

Huo Siyan was furious. She wanted to eat it all by herself, but she couldn't.

Yan Li isn't going to be gone for a while; he'll just have a couple of bites on the way. There's really no need for two people to go.

Just as things were at a stalemate, Yan Li came out of the bedroom, heard what the others were saying, and shook his head.

"It's not like we're going to the battlefield, we don't need so many people. If you're worried, just let Siyan go with us."

Yan Li chose Huo Siyan not because he had any ulterior motives, but because Huo Siyan was experienced, sensible, obedient, good at drinking and talking, and skilled at organizing, making her an excellent assistant for social gatherings and meals.

To be honest, if it weren't inappropriate, Yan Li would sometimes be quite willing to take Huo Siyan to some social occasions, as it would save him a lot of trouble.

Having been personally selected by Yan Li, Huo Siyan left with Yan Li in a victorious manner.

When she arrived at the destination, she couldn't quite manage a smile anymore.

The two kings of Huayi Brothers had quite a presence today. Not only were the two brothers and several core executives there, but also the two major shareholders, including Jack Ma, as well as Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming (the top male and female stars), and several celebrities.

Huo Siyan knew about the relationship between Li Bingbing and Yan Li. With her around, it wouldn't be her turn.

Sure enough, Li Bingbing took the initiative to sit with Yan Li, ostensibly to take care of the distinguished guest.

Huo Siyan didn't want to have a direct conflict with Li Bingbing, so she planned to back down and switch seats with Yan Li on the other side. However, before she could even speak, Xu Qing sat down first.

Huo Siyan: "..."

What's going on? Where did this woman come from?!

Li Bingbing was also a little surprised. Why did Xu Qing come over? Looking at Yan Li's eyes, there was a hint of resentment.

Li Bingbing glanced at Yan Li and Xu Qing, then smiled enigmatically: "Teacher Xu, are you here to see President Yan about something?"

Xu Qing said gracefully, "You guys talk first, I'm not in a hurry."

"Oh~"

Li Bingbing drew out a long sentence and didn't reply. Xu Qing glanced at her, then at Huo Siyan who was holding her breath, and shook her head.

Everyone says Yan Li is a romantic, and the rumors are indeed true.

Not to mention the two soldiers, Dong Xuan was one that day, and Huo Siyan came with her today. Counting herself, that makes five. Aren't you afraid of not being able to handle it?

Thinking to herself, when the dishes were served, Xu Qing put some sea cucumber on Yan Li's plate. Yan Li didn't react at first, but then he was stunned.

Dude, you did pretty well, right? Where do you need to improve?!

Li Bingbing also noticed something was wrong, gave Yan Li a strange look, and chuckled softly.

"Even you have people you can't handle."

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of either of you together."

Yan Li could tolerate all kinds of insults, but he absolutely could not tolerate this one.

Li Bingbing had been there before and was familiar with him, and they were used to teasing each other. When she heard this, she just rolled her eyes at him. Xu Qing, who had also heard this, pinched her a little embarrassedly.

"No nonsense."

"be honest."

Yan Li actually imagined it for a moment. Xu Qing and Li Bingbing were quite complementary. One was charming and elegant, while the other was heroic and cheerful. One was patient, while the other was ruthless. Their combat strength was hard to say, but their endurance should be quite good.

Xu Qing was no innocent young girl after all. She was slightly embarrassed, but quickly regained her composure and chuckled.

"Sure, if you manage to win that one over, I'll give it a try with you."

Yan Li looked at Li Bingbing: "So, what do you think? She provoked you."

"Don't run away."

Li Bingbing punched him lightly, then whispered a reminder: "The two kings probably came to you this time to ask you to help them boost Huayi Brothers' stock price. They're wary of me right now, and that's all I know."

Seeing that the two of them were acting mysteriously, Xu Qing overheard a bit and then expressed her opinion.

She came with the two Wang brothers, and it seems they mentioned inviting Yan Li to invest, which gave Yan Li a heads-up.

The two kept giving Yan Li information, little did they know that Wang Zhongjun and his brother, who were watching the three whispering nearby, were turning green with rage.

When did Xu Qing get together with this bastard?!

"Let the Bullets Fly" hasn't finished filming yet, and fearing censorship, many internal news from the production team hasn't spread. Someone like Feng Xiaogang, who suffered a setback, wouldn't expose his own shortcomings, and Xu Qing herself wouldn't say anything either, since her assistants are all her own people.

This resulted in the Wang brothers being completely unaware of the relationship between Xu Qing and Yan Li, which is why they are now struggling to keep their composure.

The two brothers also have a bit of a soft spot for Xu Qing, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to promote and publicize her.

But unexpectedly, not long after signing with the company, before I even had a chance to get involved, Yan Li ruined my life again.

"I*********"

That guy surnamed Yan is going too far. He slept with Huo Siyan, he slept with the top star Li Bingbing, and he even went after Xu Qing, who just signed with them.

They really think their company is a brothel, where they can sleep with whomever they want?!
The two kings were very unhappy, but they couldn't do anything about Yan Li. Even after calming down, they still asked him to do things.

Huayi Brothers' goal was simple: they hoped Yan Li could use his influence to help Huayi Brothers generate momentum.

The fact that Huayi Brothers' market value has not reached certain expectations is largely due to the fact that many people are more optimistic about Yan Li and Yi An, and even think that Huayi Brothers is Yan Li's enemy, and its future is uncertain.

If Yan Li can step forward and use his influence to promote Huayi Brothers, it would definitely be a positive for Huayi Brothers' stock price.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing for Yan Li himself. As the saying goes, the higher Huayi's stock price is, the higher Yi An's stock price will be.

Yan Li's help to Huayi Brothers is, in a way, also his own.

As for Xu Qing's claim that the two kings wanted Yan Li to invest, that was just a hypothetical situation. The two kings weren't interested, and Yan Li had no such intention either.

Yan Li said a few words in passing, without saying whether he agreed or disagreed, intending to test the waters of the two kings, while Jack Ma talked more.

Jack Ma made almost no attempt to hide his optimism about the entertainment market: "Mr. Yan is an expert. Huayi's listing is like adding fuel to the fire. A new era is coming."

Yan Li nodded. Huayi Brothers' market value did not meet expectations, but it was definitely not low.

With a market value of nearly 10 billion, this is an absolutely explosive moment for the film and television market.

Before this, film and television companies weren't exactly poor, but they weren't exactly rich either. Productions costing hundreds of millions were considered big-budget, and more importantly, they earned little and faced high risks.

Previously, Huayi Brothers and Yi'an had been constantly promoting the concept of making big profits through listing, and Yi'an even achieved the brilliant achievement of a valuation of 10 billion yuan.

But valuation is one thing, and whether the listing will be accepted by the market is anyone's guess, especially after the financial crisis, when everyone is very cautious.

Huayi Brothers has now fired the first shot, and the market has recognized it—and not just any ordinary recognition.

This provides a golden road to success for all film and television companies and stars. Companies go public, everyone rejoices in the riches, and countless investors will also take notice of this emerging industry, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

With plenty of money, the market is booming. Just as Jack Ma said, a new era is coming.

Huayi Brothers fired the first shot, and Yi An will be the key to stirring up trouble...

　9000+, and another 1000 tomorrow.
