Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

Chapter 160 Why Tang Yan Changed History at Beijing Film Academy

Li Xue nodded in agreement when she heard Li Binbin's words.

"Assassin Couple" had a large investment and extensive promotion, so it's normal for it to have high box office. Besides, we are from Huayi Brothers, so the situation is different.

"Zhou Yan has already done a great job to be able to star in 'Reign of Assassins'."

Both Li Xue and Li Binbin cherished Zhou Yan's kindness.

"Sister, are you going to sign with Huayi when your contract expires?" Li Xue suddenly asked.

Li Binbin was startled. "Why are you suddenly asking this question?"

"If you leave Huayi, I'll leave too," Li Xue said, explaining that she entered the industry specifically for Li Binbin.

If Li Binbin leaves, what's the point of her staying?

"I want to go to [Nanhua Film and Television]," Li Binbin also shared his thoughts with Li Xue.

"Although Huayi is a large and powerful company, Nanhua Film & Television has a much brighter future. I feel that it's only a matter of time before Huayi is surpassed by Nanhua Film & Television."

"If Nanhua Film & Television can maintain a steady pace and avoid any major problems in the next few years, it will definitely surpass Huayi," Li strongly agreed with Li Binbin's point of view.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that [Nanhua Film & Television] has tremendous potential.

"However, we're the top female star at Huayi Brothers, but at [Nanhua Film & Television], Fan Binbin is overshadowing us," Li Xue reminded her.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Because Fan Binbin and Zhou Yan were both too busy, they didn't get together to celebrate their birthdays this year.

Fan Binbin traveled to Europe to shoot for a magazine.

Zhou Yan stayed with the crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Although the two did not meet in person, they talked on the phone for a long time.

Although Zhou Yan didn't have Fan Binbin to celebrate his birthday with him, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen were both by his side.

The two women celebrated Zhou Yan's birthday and surprised him once again.

Given Zhou Yan's current status, he really doesn't want the two women to give him anything related to money.

It's not because it's vulgar.

It's not because he lacks it.

Zhou Yan's birthday is more than half a month apart from Gao Yuanyuan's and Jia Jingwen's.

Both women spent an unforgettable birthday on set.

Zhou Yan gave Gao Yuanyuan a valuable women's watch and Jia Jingwen a house in the third ring road of Beijing.

This house will also serve as his and Jia Jingwen's new home.

Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen had communicated.

Jia Jingwen will shift her work focus to mainland China and will eventually settle in Kyoto.

In the future, both her career and her life will be based in mainland China.

Taiwanese compatriots can obtain Kyoto residency if they meet the requirements.

Moreover, it's relatively simple and easy now, since many rules and regulations haven't been introduced yet.

In early November, after five months of filming, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" officially wrapped up production.

Good news has also come from "Assassin Couple": it will officially be released in Europe and America in January next year.

Coincidentally, "We Two" has also been completed and is awaiting release next year.

The popularity of "Assassin Couple" has led many production companies to consider postponing its release.

But next year there's a game called "Hero," which is equally impressive.

Therefore, most people are caught in a dilemma.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind.

After filming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Zhou Yan returned to campus and plans to take a break during this time.

The Beijing Film Academy was bustling with activity at that time.

One batch left, and a new batch arrived.

With the start of the new semester, Zhou Yan has already entered her junior year.

This year's graduating class is quite remarkable.

This year's freshmen in the performing arts department include the ethereal beauty "Liu Yifei," as well as future stars such as "Jiang Yiyan," "Zhu Yawen," and "Luo Jin." In addition, there is Huang Bo, a dubbing major, whose overall quality is exceptionally high.

Zhou Yan's appearance immediately caused a sensation, and many freshmen gathered around.

Many of these new students are there because of the Beijing Film Academy, which he applied to.

"Zhou Yan, it's Zhou Yan!" Just then, a freshman saw Zhou Yan and was very excited.

"Hello," Zhou Yan greeted with a smile.

Soon, Zhou Yan spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

"Wow, isn't that Tang Yan?"

"How come she's at Beijing Film Academy?"

Zhou Yan was full of questions.

If he remembers correctly, Tang Yan should be from the Central Academy of Drama.

Why are you here?

"Excuse me, are you also a freshman from the class of 02?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"Yes, I got into this school because of you," Tang Yan said, delighted to see Zhou Yan chatting with her.

"Keep it up," Zhou Yan encouraged.

"It seems I've changed the fate of many people," Zhou Yan thought with growing curiosity about what would be different about this year's freshmen class of 02.

"Thank you, senior. I will definitely work hard." Tang Yan originally thought Zhou Yan was very aloof, but she didn't expect him to be so easygoing.

Tang Yan originally planned to apply to the Central Academy of Drama.

But the Beijing Film Academy has been very popular in the past two years, especially Zhou Yan, who won the Best Actor award at the Berlin Film Festival.

This has led many people to take the teaching quality of the Beijing Film Academy seriously.

Tang Yan hesitated for a long time before finally choosing Beijing Film Academy.

The students were excited, but not crazy.

After asking for autographs, some chatted with Zhou Yan, while others chose to leave.

"Hello senior, my name is Huang Bo," a familiar voice came from the crowd.

Zhou Yan looked at that familiar face and immediately recognized him.

"Hello, are you also in the acting class?" Zhou Yan asked, her tone full of surprise.

"No, I'm a dubbing major," Huang Bo hurriedly shook his head. With his looks, no one would believe he was from the acting class. "I'm also from Shandong."

"Where in Shandong are you from?" Zhou Yan asked deliberately.

"Qingdao (Piano Island)".

"This is a great place," Zhou Yan exclaimed.

Qingdao is a coastal city and a dream city for many.

Zhou Yan invested in a villa on the beach in Qingdao, not far from the sea.

Zhou Yan grew up in inland areas, where his hometown is mostly mountainous.

So he longed for the seaside when he was a child.

I dream of one day settling down by the sea.

Of course, this was just his fantasy.

Nowhere is as good as my hometown.

That's where his roots are.

Every place holds his childhood memories.

Although many places no longer exist due to the changing times and historical development.

But that memory will never disappear.

Zhou Yan and Huang Bo chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the dormitory building.

"Everyone, I have to go back now. Let's talk again next time," Zhou Yan said goodbye to everyone.

There are no celebrities or chairmen at the school.

He only has one identity: a student.

When Zhou Yan returned to the dormitory, Cui Peng, Yang Yang, and Gao Yuan immediately got off their beds.

"What time is it? Get up!"

No classes today.

In the third and fourth years of university, there will be relatively fewer courses, especially in the fourth year.

Most people either take the postgraduate entrance exam or go out for an internship.

A small number of people are just coasting along.

"Has anything unusual happened at school lately?" Zhou Yan inquired.

"Yes," Yang Yang immediately perked up.

"Hey boss, there's a girl in this year's freshman class, she's super pretty."

"Who is it?" Zhou Yan had already guessed the other party's identity.

There's only one person who could be described as incredibly beautiful by Yang Yang, especially someone from the class of 02.

"What's his name again?" Yang Yang was about to say the name when his mind suddenly went blank.

The more I think about it, the less I can remember.

"Gao Yuan, what's your name again?" Yang Yang asked Gao Yuan.

"Liu Yifei".
