Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

In May, as the weather begins to warm up, many couples choose to take wedding photos this month.

The number of tourists visiting the film and television city is also gradually increasing.

Dong Xuan and Gao Yuanyuan arrived at the film crew one after the other.

Dong Xuan plays "Liu Sheng Piaoxu" in the drama, and Gao Yuanyuan plays "Liu Sheng Xueji".

Yuen Woo-ping was responsible for directing Yagyu Yukihime, because Yagyu Yukihime had more screen time and was more important.

Zhou Yan was in charge of guiding Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Compared to Yagyu Yukihime, Yagyu Hyouse has much less screen time.

Zhou Yan treated it purely as practice, preparing for what was to come.

"I've designed a set of movements for you," Zhou Yan said, holding a samurai sword as he taught Dong Xuan martial arts moves.

Dong Xuan studied very diligently, but he could never quite get the movements right.

Zhou Yan had no choice but to do it himself and teach her step by step.

Zhou Yan stepped forward and raised Dong Xuan's arm. "Raise your arm, straighten your back. You look too slouchy and there's no beauty in that posture."

"If we're ever making a martial arts drama, you can't do it like this," Zhou Yan said, also for Dong Xuan's own good.

If he remembers correctly, Dong Xuan will be filming "Snowflake Goddess Dragon" next year, and she will still be the female lead, with many action scenes.

"What should we do then?" Dong Xuan's face fell. "Boss, you have to help me!"

Dong Xuan addressed Zhou Yan as "boss" mainly because the other party had already signed a contract with [Nanhua Film and Television].

In addition to Dong Xuan, Cui Peng also signed a contract in advance to become an artist of [Nanhua Film and Television].

"I've started a small martial arts class where I share some fitness tips and martial arts routines for free. If you don't mind, you can come to the class to learn from me," Zhou Yan said. The fitness tips she mentioned refer to weight loss, not muscle building.

Women love beauty and don't like muscles.

Zhou Yan's guidance mainly focused on improving their flexibility and physique, similar to yoga, all of which were experiences he had accumulated in his previous life.

Martial arts routines are actually just "showy moves" and "fake skills"—they look good but have no real combat ability.

These are the most commonly used moves when filming action scenes.

"I don't mind," Dong Xuan's eyes lit up, naturally he didn't mind.

Thus, Zhou Yan's "Martial Arts Mini-Class" gained another student.

Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen were quite surprised to see Dong Xuan appear.

They originally thought it would be Gao Yuanyuan, but it turned out to be Dong Xuan.

Dong Xuan was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Zhou Yan's "students" would be Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen.

"I'd heard they were close for a long time, but I never thought it was true," Dong Xuan thought to himself.

Dong Xuan knew about the rumors between Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin, but was unaware of the matter between Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen.

But she wasn't stupid; she could naturally see the intimacy between Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen.

"Alright, let's begin class," Zhou Yan clapped his hands.

The three women all looked over.

"Binbin, Jingwen, practice yesterday's moves. I'll come over and check on you in a bit."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he looked at Dong Xuan and said, "Dong Xuan, this is your first day here, so I need to give you individual guidance."

Zhou Yan led Dong Xuan to an open space to the side.

Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen exchanged a glance and began practicing.

One person practices yoga to improve their body's flexibility.

One of them is practicing swordsmanship with a prop sword.

"To facilitate teaching, I need to check your basic skills," Zhou Yan needed to understand her background.

"I've never practiced martial arts, but I have practiced dance," Dong Xuan said, indicating that he wasn't without any background in martial arts.

Those who are admitted to the Beijing Film Academy generally have a skill.

Dong Xuan has a very solid foundation in dance. In 1995, she was admitted to the Dance Department of Shenyang Conservatory of Music. When she was about to graduate, the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe came to the school's Dance Department to select people, and she was the only one who was admitted.

During the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy, Dong Xuan achieved a high score thanks to her dance skills.

"Can you do the splits?" Zhou Yan's eyes lit up when he heard that Dong Xuan had dance training.

"Yes," she said, adding that doing the splits was the most basic thing in the world for her.

"That makes things easier," Zhou Yan said, then proceeded to examine Dong Xuan's basic skills.

Dong Xuan displayed various moves, including the splits, backbends, and leg lifts.

Dong Xuan's basic skills are better than Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen's, which saves him a lot of effort.

"Your foundation is good, so I'll teach you martial arts routines directly. You used a katana in the show, so let's start practicing with the katana."

"Let me teach you some simple moves first." Zhou Yan took a samurai sword and began to demonstrate.

"This is a thorn."

"This is flirting."

"This is a split."

……

Watch my pace!

Zhou Yan broke down a set of sword techniques into several small movements.

One of them taught diligently, and the other learned carefully.

"Practice by yourself, I'm going to Binbin's side," Zhou Yan said to Dong Xuan, and then went to Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen's side.

Fan Binbin already has a good figure, and Zhou Yan's physique enhancement this time is to prepare for "Mr. & Mrs. Smith".

The two characters not only engage in gunfights but also close-quarters combat in the show.

Jia Jingwen held a long sword in her hand and kept waving it around.

Zhou Yan checked the two girls' training results and was very satisfied.

At 9:30 p.m., the four of them returned to the dormitory together.

In the dead of night, Fan Binbin knocked on Zhou Yan's door and sneaked in.

There are many types of a woman's figure and demeanor.

There are those who are thin, such as Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

There are plump types, such as Yang Yuhuan.

There are those with slender waists, like Zhao Feiyan.

There are varieties with slender branches bearing large fruits, such as Li Shishi.

……

Fan Binbin's purpose in infiltrating was simple: to leverage external forces to make his achievements even more substantial.

It was Zhou Yan who "worked hard".

The next day, Gao Yuanyuan somehow learned about the "little classroom" and found Zhou Yan, who was filming.

"Zhou Yan," Gao Yuanyuan said as Zhou Yan finished filming her scene.

"Yuanyuan?" Zhou Yan pulled her to sit under the shade of a tree.

"Why did you come here?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"I want to join your class," Gao Yuanyuan said directly, without wasting any words.

"Huh?" Zhou Yan was stunned.

"What are you 'uh'ing about?" Gao Yuanyuan gently patted Zhou Yan. "I already know about your private classes, and I want to join in too."

"Okay," Dong Xuan could join, so Gao Yuanyuan was no problem either.

"Come find me after filming is over, and I'll take you to the classroom," Zhou Yan agreed.

"Okay," Gao Yuanyuan said with a beaming smile.

"What made you think of starting a small class?" Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"The main problem is that Binbin and Jingwen's foundation is a bit weak. The purpose of this small class is to guide them, which will also help them in the future," Zhou Yan said, not just making empty promises.

Just look at Ni Ni and you'll know.

To prepare for her role in "The Flowers of War," she spent three years training in posture and demeanor, skills that still benefited her even after the filming ended.

Fan Binbin and Jia Jingwen didn't just star in one show, "The World's Finest." As long as they're still in the entertainment industry, these experiences will be helpful to them.

"I'm not good-looking either, why didn't you think of me?" Gao Yuanyuan was a little unhappy.

"Then I'll make it up to you tonight, okay?" Zhou Yan said softly.

"Ugh," Gao Yuanyuan blushed and gently punched Zhou Yan.

"You said it yourself, I'll wait for you tonight," Gao Yuanyuan said before taking her leave.

"Oh, my kidneys!"

Zhou Yan sighed. If it weren't for the physical enhancement buff that allowed him to recover his condition after waking up every day, he really wouldn't dare to play like this!
