Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

Chapter 121 Martial Arts Sparring: Zhou Yan VS Li Lianjie (Seeking First Subscription)

After the first round of broadcasting rights are sold, there are also second round broadcasting rights, as well as broadcasting rights for some local channels, all of which are pure cash.

In addition, there are DVD production, martial arts merchandise, and so on, which are all separate sources of income.

Fan Binbin was overjoyed upon hearing the news. She did not forget Zhou Yan's instructions to give a kickback.

The waters here run deep; Zhou Yan had witnessed this in his previous life.

The initial payment is not settled in one lump sum. Instead, 40% is paid upfront, and 5% is paid monthly after the viewership ratings meet the target, with the remaining amount settled over 12 months. If the ratings do not meet the target, the remaining 60% will be delayed indefinitely.

You ask for it, and the other party clearly says they will give it to you, but they just don't transfer the money.

What can you do?

Therefore, kickbacks cannot be skimped on; this is considered an unspoken rule.

Zhou Yan wouldn't skimp on this little bit of money.

The purchasing manager left happily, praising [Nanhua Film & Television] for being sensible.

With this cooperation as a foundation, we can continue to cooperate in the future.

The money used to buy the films didn't belong to them.

But the kickbacks actually went into their pockets.

Zhou Yan began her costume fitting after joining the cast of "Hero".

He was tall and straight.

She can make even simple clothes look beautiful, which makes her fellow crew members very envious.

However, Zhou Yan's face looked somewhat youthful, after all, he was only twenty-one.

Therefore, the makeup artist made Zhou Yan look more weathered and her skin was painted slightly rough.

There was also some stubble stuck to his chin.

In an instant, Zhou Yan went from a young man in his twenties to a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Zhou Yan had read the script for "Hero" and had also seen the movie "Hero" in his previous life.

He knows how to play the role of Chang Kong well.

Compared to Feixue and Canjian, Changkong didn't have many scenes, but he can be said to be the first top assassin to die in the Northwest.

His weapon was a long spear, whose fame awed the seven states. He once fought alone against seven of the Qin court's top warriors and escaped unscathed, eventually becoming the King of Qin.

A deep-seated worry that has kept me awake at night for ten years.

It's easy to play a role well in Chang Kong, but it's difficult to make it stand out.

Zhou Yan, having finished her makeup, came out carrying a silver spear.

His face was stern.

Sharp eyes.

It gives people a feeling of being sharp and aggressive.

"Good," Zhang Yimou said, clapping his hands in approval as he looked at Zhou Yan who had appeared.

Zhou Yan's appearance is undeniably impressive, but what worries him most is his martial arts skills; he wonders if he can keep up with Li Lianjie's movements.

At this moment, Li Lianjie and others also gathered around, praising Zhou Yan's appearance.

"This young man is really handsome," Liang Chaowei said, his face full of praise.

"Yes, and with this makeup, she looks even more charming," Zhang Manyu stared at Zhou Yan, nodding repeatedly.

Zhou Yan was still somewhat immature.

But after makeup, the sense of vicissitude and the mature and melancholic temperament on his body are very attractive.

"This guy is going to charm countless young girls," Zhang Manyu thought to herself.

She was certain that once "Hero" aired, many women would become fans.

This guy is practically a human succubus.

Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Yan were not familiar with each other, but they knew that the other had won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award, so they couldn't help but look at each other with curiosity.

"Since you two have some time now, why don't you have a little spar?" Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile, seemingly joking, yet also seemingly serious.

Cheng Xiaodong had only heard that Zhou Yan was very strong.

But I've never seen it.

He wanted to assess Zhou Yan's skill level to help him design subsequent movements.

Learning from each other is undoubtedly the best way.

Li Lianjie's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he looked at Zhou Yan with great anticipation.

"I'm fine," Zhou Yan said, seeing everyone's attention focused on him. He naturally wouldn't show any fear or be looked down upon.

"Okay," Li Lianjie said happily, "I'll go get the props."

Li Lianjie also wanted to test Zhou Yan's true abilities.

Netizens are eager to see him face off against Zhou Yan.

They wanted to know which kung fu champion was more powerful.

Li Lianjie was also very curious and had been looking forward to it.

Perfect, this is a good opportunity to test the other party's skill level.

Soon, Li Lianjie arrived with a bronze sword.

The people around them quickly made way and stood on the perimeter.

After Zhou Yan and Li Lianjie bowed respectfully, they assumed a fighting stance.

Zhou Yan looked at Li Lianjie in front of him and stepped forward without hesitation.

One inch long, one inch strong.

If you don't even dare to attack while holding a long weapon, you might as well not fight at all.

Zhou Yan's spear was very fast, and combined with his physique, he wielded it with great elegance.

Li Lianjie didn't expect Zhou Yan's gun to be so fast, and hurriedly drew his sword to block.

"Clang!" The weapons clashed, and Li Lianjie's expression changed slightly.

"What incredible strength!" Li Lianjie thought in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan's shot was not only fast but also powerful.

Zhou Yan brandished his spear, followed by a thunderous roar.

Li Lianjie was initially at a disadvantage, and then Zhou Yan dominated him.

Although Zhang Yimou and the others were not as knowledgeable as Cheng Xiaodong, they could still see that Li Lianjie was struggling to cope and was on the defensive, almost being overwhelmed by Zhou Yan.

"This guy is that good?" Cheng Xiaodong's expression changed slightly; the other party was even more powerful than he had imagined.

"You can't judge a book by its cover," Cheng Xiaodong told himself, reminding himself not to look down on someone just because they are young.

Zhang Ziyi, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Manyu, Chen Daoming and others stared intently at Zhou Yan and Li Lianjie, not even blinking.

Zhou Yan didn't want to be bored, so he decisively put away his gun, giving Li Lianjie a chance to attack.

Li Lianjie breathed a sigh of relief. He was certain that Zhou Yan was definitely more capable than Zhen Zidan.

At the same time, a sense of gratitude also arose in Li Lianjie's heart.

"This guy is quite sensible; he didn't embarrass me."

Li Lianjie could clearly feel that Zhou Yan had stopped exerting his strength.

Otherwise, he would have already been defeated at this moment.

Li Lianjie held his breath, adjusted his breathing, and then launched an attack.

Li Lianjie's swordsmanship is good, but Zhou Yan's spear skills are even more impressive.

The two exchanged blows, making for an exceptionally exciting battle.

When Zhang Yimou saw the exciting parts, he couldn't help but shout "Bravo!"

The others couldn't help but applaud.

"Li Lianjie is the lead actor after all, let's give him some face," Zhou Yan said, slowing down and conserving his strength.

In terms of physical ability alone, Jet Li is no match for him.

Zhou Yan didn't want to show off his abilities, but rather to highlight his strengths.

After this exchange, everyone should be able to understand his skill level.

Li Lianjie should also know that by going easy on him, he can at least save some favors.

"This guy's marksmanship is really beautiful," Zhang Manyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Manyu has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has worked with many big names, such as Jackie Chan, but no one's movements are as graceful and beautiful as Zhou Yan's.

Zhou Yan's spear technique is less like martial arts and more like art.

"Yes, it's beautiful," Tony Leung exclaimed in admiration.

Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up. If Zhou Yan hadn't been unable to carry the box office, he would have wanted to replace the lead actor.

I originally thought that Jet Li's moves were pretty good enough.

Who would have thought that Zhou Yan's movements would be even more exquisite and elegant?

That height and that build are perfect for handling guns.

"Clang!" Zhou Yan brandished his spear, which bloomed like plum blossoms, leaving several afterimages in the void.

Li Lianjie instinctively dodged backward.

Zhou Yan did not pursue, but stood with his gun drawn, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the other party, and said, "You flatter me!"

Li Lianjie also knew when to stop, sheathing his sword and returning the greeting with a fist and palm salute!
