Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

Chapter 144 A chance encounter with Zhou Xun backstage at the Spring Festival Gala

Zhou Yan looked at that familiar face and recognized it at a glance.

Second brother – Wang Lihong.

By this time, Wang Lihong had already gained some fame.

However, there is still some gap compared to Zhou Yan.

Wang Lihong helped take several photos before stopping.

"Teacher Song, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yan hurriedly reached out to express his gratitude.

"Keep it up, young man," Teacher Song encouraged him.

"OK."

Zhou Yan came to Wang Lihong's side and took the camera.

"Thanks, brother," Zhou Yan said gratefully.

"It's nothing," Wang Lihong said with a faint smile, naturally recognizing Zhou Yan.

"Are you Wang Lihong?" Zhou Yan asked knowingly.

"You know me?" Wang Lihong asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, the songs you sang, 'Descendants of the Dragon' and 'The Only One,' are both songs I like," Zhou Yan nodded.

"Your 'The World' and 'Bright Moon Over the Horizon' are also very good."

The two hit it off immediately and began praising each other.

"Let's discuss music together sometime," Wang Lihong suggested.

"Okay," Zhou Yan immediately agreed, and the two even exchanged contact information.

"I'll go wander around some more and take a few more pictures," Zhou Yan said, making no attempt to hide his intentions.

"Okay," Wang Lihong said without objecting.

Zhou Yan found Zhu Jun, Li Yong, Zhou Tao, Ni Ping and others, and asked the staff to take some photos for them.

They seemed to know that Zhou Yan and Hu En had a good relationship, so they were very enthusiastic.

Next, Zhou Yan met teachers Feng Gong, Hou Yaowen, Xuecun, Tian Zhen, and others, all of whom were well-known figures.

"Zhou Yan," a familiar voice rang out from behind.

Zhou Yan turned his head to look and was immediately overjoyed.

"Sister Xun," Zhou Yan hurriedly came over.

The person who called him was Zhou Xun.

"It really is you," Zhou Xun said, delighted to see Zhou Yan. The two had met on the set of "Beijing Bicycle" and were quite familiar with each other.

"Let me introduce Lu Yi to you," Zhou Xun said, introducing Lu Yi, who was standing next to him, to Zhou Yan.

"Hello," Zhou Yan said, extending her hand.

"Hello," Lu Yi hurriedly extended his hand and shook hands with Zhou Yan.

At this time, Lu Yi was already the "Golden Eagle TV King" and naturally had an arrogant attitude.

However, he couldn't be arrogant in front of Zhou Yan.

A Golden Eagle Award winner facing a Berlin Film Festival Best Actor winner has no right to be arrogant.

"Are you two a duo?" Zhou Yan asked, looking at the two of them with a hint of inquiry.

"Yes, we'll sing a song together," Zhou Xun nodded.

Zhou Xun and Lu Yi are old acquaintances, having collaborated on "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind." This year, they are collaborating again for the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhou Xun's words.

He had heard Zhou Xun sing, and it was definitely not good.

The main problem is that Xun Jie's voice isn't good.

It sounds a bit awful.

With Zhou Xun around, Zhou Yan felt much more confident.

"And you? Alone?" It had been a long time since they last met, and Zhou Xun had a lot to talk about.

"Alone," Zhou Yan nodded.

"You're amazing! Don't tell me it's a solo performance?" Zhou Xun exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm not sure. It's a solo performance for now. I don't know if they'll add someone else to the show later," Zhou Yan said, not daring to make a guarantee.

"By the way, I saw you running around earlier, what were you busy with?"

"This isn't my first time on the Spring Festival Gala stage. I'm a little excited. I'll take some photos to remember this. Even if I get eliminated, it'll still be a worthwhile trip," Zhou Yan said, waving his camera.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Lu Yi looked regretful.

"There's still the final trial, so you should prepare one then," Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"That depends on whether it passes the initial review."

"There's definitely no problem."

"Then I'll take your kind words," Lu Yi said, also quite talkative.

For people like them in the entertainment industry, being too introverted will definitely not get them anywhere.

You have to be thick-skinned.

Some opportunities are earned through hard work.

"How many have you filmed?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

"Let me show you my work," Zhou Yan said, handing the camera to Zhou Xun and then showing him how to turn the pages.

"So many?" Zhou Xun was quite surprised.

Teachers Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei, and Gao Xiumin, along with Feng Gong, Guo Donglin, and many others, are featured in the photos.

"It's okay, I brought several rolls of film."

"Is that what I meant?" Zhou Xun rolled his eyes.

"Let me borrow it for a bit later."

"What are the benefits?" Zhou Yan asked with a smile.

It was precisely because the two had a good relationship that Zhou Xun asked to borrow money; and it was also because of this that Zhou Yan asked for a reward.

Of course, this benefit isn't money; money is too low-class for them.

Even if Zhou Xun gives him nothing, he will still lend it to him.

"How about I introduce you to a stunningly beautiful woman?"

"Sister Xun, please don't get me into trouble. I'm absolutely loyal to my Yuanyuan."

"You're kidding me," Zhou Xun said, not believing it at all.

This guy's rumored affair with Fan Binbin is known throughout the country.

"Sister, you're wronging me," Zhou Yan said, her face full of grievance.

"Would you like to get to know me?"

"Yes, definitely," Zhou Yan nodded hurriedly.

"I knew it," Zhou Xun said, looking at Zhou Yan's expression, and couldn't help but reach out and pat him.

This guy is so annoying.

"Let's go," Zhou Xun said, leading Zhou Yan to another location.

Zhou Yan followed Zhou Xun, chatting with him and Lu Yi.

Lu Yi replaced Zhou Jie in the role of Bao Zheng in the second season of "Young Justice Bao" last year, and Ren Quan replaced him in the role of Gongsun Ce.

The two men suddenly started talking about Chen Yong.

They immediately found common ground.

Zhou Xun led Zhou Yan to knock on the door and then went inside.

Two people were sitting in the room, chatting.

Seeing the door open, everyone looked over.

Zhou Yan followed Zhou Xun in.

Upon seeing who was inside, Zhou Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Sun Yanzhi and Chen Huilin," Zhou Yan was startled, not expecting to see the two here.

These two are no ordinary people; one is a future superstar, and the other is even known as Princess Lin.

Zhou Xun and Sun Yanzhi knew each other and seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Zhou Yan was unaware of the relationship between the two and waited quietly.

"Yanzi, let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, Zhou Yan," Zhou Xun said, pulling Zhou Yan out.

"Sister Yanzi," Zhou Yan greeted her.

Sun Yanzi is older than him, so it's perfectly fine for her to call him "sister".

"Hello, Mr. Zhou," Sun Yanzi said, quickly standing up and speaking very respectfully when she saw Zhou Yan.

At this time, Sun Yanzi was not yet the superstar she would become, so she kept a very humble attitude.

The two shook hands lightly.

"This is my friend Lu Yi," Zhou Xun said, not forgetting Lu Yi.

"Hello," the two shook hands lightly.

Sun Yanzi then introduced her friends to the group.

"This is Chen Huilin," Sun Yanzhi introduced to everyone.

The entertainment industry is a small circle.

People in the industry generally know each other.

The network of relationships is very complex.

"Hello, Zhou Xun."

Everyone introduced themselves, exchanged a few pleasantries, and took some photos; the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Zhou Yan and the others did not disturb Sun Yanzhi and Chen Huilin too much.

After all, they all have their own things to do.

So after chatting for a while, everyone said goodbye and left.
