Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

According to the plan of [Nanhua] Film and Television, filming of "Assassin Couple" will begin at the end of October and will be completed no later than the Spring Festival next year.

It can be said that time is tight and the task is heavy.

Fortunately, "The Assassin Couple" has many scenes set in villas, so there's no need to run around.

After filming of "The Assassin Couple" was completed, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" took over and was released in 03.

Jia Jingwen was very excited when she heard Zhou Yan's words.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best."

"Is Binbin not here this time?" Jia Jingwen asked very carefully.

"Don't worry about that. Even if there are any, they will be cameo roles with limited screen time," Zhou Yan said, understanding Jia Jingwen's concerns.

"But Yuanyuan will be there." Before Jia Jingwen could be happy, Zhou Yan spoke again.

"Who is she playing?" Jia Jingwen's heart skipped a beat.

"Zhou Zhiruo".

After hearing this, Alyssa Chia nodded, "As long as it's not Fan Binbin, it's fine."

"What's wrong? Did Binbin offend you?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"No," Jia Jingwen hurriedly waved her hand.

"We've collaborated twice: once on 'Little Li Flying Dagger,' where you married her, and once on 'The World's Finest,' where you were a couple."

"If Binbin plays Zhou Zhiruo, I'm really worried that you won't come with me when we're trying to steal her away from the wedding." There's a scene in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" where Zhao Min tries to steal Zhang Wuji's bride.

Zhang Wuji abandoned Zhou Zhiruo and ran away with Zhao Min.

"You," Zhou Yan chuckled.

"Get some rest. Tomorrow is your birthday. I'll take you somewhere fun."

"Okay." Jia Jingwen immediately felt a sense of anticipation.

The next morning, Zhou Yan took Jia Jingwen out to sea on a yacht.

The two put on their diving suits and jumped into the sea to play.

At the bottom of the water, Zhou Yan took out the birthday gift he had prepared: a Cartier ladies' watch.

The seawater is azure blue, and it is dazzling under the sunlight.

Zhou Yan helped Jia Jingwen put the pendant on her wrist underwater.

This scene is very romantic.

While the two were diving and playing underwater, the yacht's staff were busy setting up the venue.

When the two came up, flowers, red candles, a birthday cake, and everything else appeared.

Seeing all this, Jia Jingwen could no longer control her emotions and rushed over to give him a kiss.

The two spent an unforgettable birthday at sea.

Jia Jingwen swore that she was truly moved.

At that moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.

Their feelings for each other deepened day by day.

……

The two spent two more days in Hong Kong before returning to Kyoto.

During this period, two events occurred that shocked China and even the world, both on the same day.

The first thing was that the US and Britain launched an attack on Afghanistan, and the Afghan War broke out.

The second thing was that the national men's football team qualified for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, which was the first time in the history of the Chinese football team that they had qualified for the World Cup.

What was thought to be the beginning turned out to be the peak.

After Zhou Yan dropped Jia Jingwen off at home, he drove to his and Gao Yuanyuan's large apartment.

"You're back?" Gao Yuanyuan was pleasantly surprised to see Zhou Yan.

"Hmm," Zhou Yan looked at Gao Yuanyuan in front of him and couldn't help but stroke her soft, beautiful hair.

"This is for you," Zhou Yan said, handing the tote bag to Gao Yuanyuan.

"What?" Gao Yuanyuan reached out and took it.

"It was your birthday a couple of days ago. I happened to be in Hong Kong and couldn't be with you, so this is a birthday gift for you," Zhou Yan explained.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen were born on October 5th and October 7th respectively, only two days apart.

Zhou Yan spent an unforgettable birthday with Jia Jingwen, but he did not forget Gao Yuanyuan.

"Thank you, husband," Gao Yuanyuan said happily, lifting her toes to give Zhou Yan a light kiss on the cheek.

"Take a look and see if the gift suits your taste," Zhou Yan urged.

"Okay," Gao Yuanyuan said, eagerly taking the box out of her handbag.

When the gift box was opened, a vibrant green color came into view.

"This is..." Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up immediately, her gaze fixed intently on the jade necklace in front of her.

"This is a Tiffany jade necklace called 'Brilliant Stars.' It's adorned with seven jade stones. The largest one is imperial green, while the other six are more ordinary, but they're still quite valuable," Zhou Yan explained to Gao Yuanyuan as she sat down next to her.

"How much does this cost?" Gao Yuanyuan was very surprised.

"The amount of money doesn't matter, as long as you're happy."

Although Zhou Yan spent a portion of his money to buy the shares held by Richard Li, his net worth is still considerable.

If you include his shares in Tencent, he's definitely a billionaire.

"Do you like this gift?"

"Yes, I like it. Help me put it on," Gao Yuanyuan said happily.

"Okay," Zhou Yan helped Gao Yuanyuan put it on; this gift was indeed very suitable for her.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't wait to get to the mirror, her eyes full of delight.

Zhou Yan did not rush to leave, but stayed here instead.

During the day, I go to school to attend classes, learn about performance, participate in school activities, and meet new classmates.

When I don't have classes, I go to Baihua Recording Studio in Baihua Shenchu ​​Hutong to record songs.

Zhou Yan's singing ability is average.

She can sing.

But they are definitely not as good as professional singers.

Therefore, we need to use tools to fix the sound.

For several days in a row, Zhou Yan went to record songs whenever he had time.

After a week of hard work, Zhou Yan finally recorded the two songs.

Zhou Yan took the finished product to the Beijing Film Studio and handed it to the staff in charge of the music for "The World's Number One", asking them to use the two songs as the opening and closing theme songs.

"Bright Moon Jianghu" is relatively light-hearted, so multiple clips need to be edited to complement it and showcase the true world of swords and chivalry.

"The World" is very fitting for the relationship between Zhu Wushi and Su Xin, just as the lyrics describe:

With love in my life, what fear is there of wind and sand?

The sorrow of gray hair cannot hold back youth.

Forsaking the magnificent landscape for her radiant smile

It's better than a lifetime of empty worries.

If the heart is free of resentment, then love and hate will follow her.

The path of love is boundless.

She abandoned the world for her sake

……

Zhu Wushi lived his entire life solely for the sake of a pure heart.

He wanted to become emperor so that he could marry Su Xin.

So after Su Xin died, Zhu Wushi went mad.

In Zhu Wushi's heart, nothing was more important than Su Xin: royal power, wealth, imperial authority, or unparalleled martial arts.

Everything he did was to be with Su Xin.

Zhu is indifferent to infatuation, pitiful, and tragic.

The song "The World" is very fitting for him.

With Zhou Yan's music, the work on "The World's Number One" was nearing completion and was sent to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review.

Once the review is complete, we can organize screenings and collaborate with TV stations.

"The World's Number One" is a martial arts drama and there is nothing against the rules.

Furthermore, since it was independently produced by a mainland company, the policy was very lenient, and it was approved in a short time.

At this time, Zhou Yan had already gone to the film crew of "Hero" to film, so the matter of selling the film source was handed over to Xu Li.

As Nan Hua's first novel, "The World's Number One" has garnered a great deal of attention.

In addition, the recent launch press conference boasted a strong lineup, including Zhang Weijian and Huang Haibing, making it a hit even before its broadcast.

This attracted the attention of many television stations, who sought cooperation with them.

This includes CCTV, Jiangsu Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV, Guangdong Satellite TV, Kyoto Satellite TV, Dragon TV, and many other television stations.

Zhou Yan's hometown, Ludong TV Station, also got involved, each eyeing the situation covetously.

The purchasing managers of major television stations were amazed after watching the first few episodes of the film.

The quality of "The Best in the World" far exceeded their expectations.

Whether it's the special effects, the fight scenes, the plot, or the soundtrack, it's among the best in China.

"A classic, an absolute classic."

As a result, various television stations offered their bids.

The CCTV program acquisition director knew Zhou Yan and kept raising the price.

The price of "The World's Number One" has therefore skyrocketed.

Seeing this, the other TV stations had no choice but to give up.

Ultimately, CCTV and Dragon TV reached a cooperation agreement.

The two companies bought the first-run broadcast rights for 40 yuan per episode.

"The World's Number One" has a total of forty episodes, with each episode costing 400,000, which is 16 million.

The combined revenue from CCTV and Dragon TV is 32 million.

Before it even aired, the first-run broadcast rights alone had already recouped the costs and earned an additional two million.

This does not include the rights to the second round of broadcasting and other revenue.
