By the way, we're also working on a few cross-strait variety shows, inviting different guests each episode. We'll invite some Hong Kong and mainland artists to play reality shows, do games, and promote their work, making it more entertaining. Nowadays, celebrities are too aloof; we need to make them more down-to-earth and increase their popularity so they can be commercialized.

Han Sanping was completely bewildered.

"A reality TV show? What's that?"

Albert Yeung and Cheng Lung were also a bit confused.

Is it like Hunan TV?

Han Sanping looked at Shen Fang.

Shen Fang shook his head: "How could that be? Hunan TV's shows aren't very interesting. If it weren't for the fact that the audience is used to watching their two flagship variety shows, and there aren't any other variety shows to watch in China, they wouldn't have been popular for so long. Currently, there is still a huge gap in the variety show industry in China. What I'm planning to do is role-playing shows, and then film them in different cities in stages. First, it's for the enjoyment of the people; second, it's to let the celebrities get down to earth; and third, it can also promote these cities and contribute to our tourism industry."

Han Sanping was stunned.

"How can they even be related?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Just watch how I handle it. Leave this to me. Brother Long, you can record the first episode, is that alright?"

Cheng Long smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't take too long, it's fine."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it only takes a day or two to make a custom order, so it won't take up your time. Besides, I'll also pay for the service."

Cheng Long waved his hand: "No need, let's not talk about money, it hurts our relationship."

Shen Fang laughed loudly: "Then I'll take advantage of you."

Then Shen Fang raised several more serious questions. The first was about the methods for creating stars. The second was about the operational direction of pan-entertainment. The third was about film collaborations. They talked for more than two hours.

"I can't find the time, Brother Long, Boss Yang, let's go to Baijia Restaurant tonight. I've booked a whole Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you. How about that? Am I impressive enough?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Long laughed and patted Shen Fang on the shoulder.

"I've only heard of the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but I've never actually eaten it. Thanks, brother."

"Don't mention it, what's our relationship?"

"Mr. Han, are you free tonight? Want to hang out?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Tonight I'll invite Director Zhou and a few other publicity leaders to meet with you. After all, you'll be working in the mainland entertainment industry in the future."

Albert Yeung's face was full of surprise.

"Thank you, Chairman Han."

"Oh, then I'll have to get a few bottles of good wine tonight," Shen Fang said cheerfully.

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, bring the box of specially supplied Moutai that I kept. We have important guests tonight."

Secretary Wang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Chairman Han."

Shen Fang gave a thumbs up: "Thanks a lot, Uncle. You have a lot of good stuff. Do you have any more?"

Han Sanping completely ignored Shen Fang, still trying to take advantage of him. That kid is cunning.

The group boarded the bus and arrived at Baijia Restaurant.

...

"Xixi, hurry up, Xiao Shen and the others have arrived."

"Here I am, here I am."

Liu Qianqian hurried down the stairs.

"Mom, do I look good in this outfit?"

Liu Qianqian twirled around before Liu Xiaoli's birthday celebration, showing off her vanity.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Qianqian, who was wearing a white floor-length dress and a white hat, and thought she looked like a noble princess.

"She's so pretty! Our Sisi is like a little princess."

Liu Qianqian was very happy to hear this.

"Hehe, let's go, Mom."

...

At 8 PM, Shen Fang summoned his mentor, along with Zhang Yimou, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Zhao Baogang, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhang Yongxin, Zhang Li, Zeng Li, Qin Hailu, Li Xiaoran, Xu Qing, and Pan Yueming. Han Sanping also invited Wang Zhongjun, a Chinese-American, and Yu Dong from Bona Media; both were key figures he had been supporting, hence their presence.

"I won't introduce Brother Long, this is Mr. Yang from Hong Kong. This is my mentor, the famous actor Chen Daoming. Director Zhang, I don't need to introduce you, right? This is Teacher Zhang Guoli..."

Shen Fang introduced Cheng Long and Albert Yeung to the bigwigs in Beijing's entertainment circle one by one, emphasizing that since they were in Beijing, they should definitely meet the local bigwigs.

Zhang Guoli looked at Cheng Long with great enthusiasm.

"Brother, I watch your movies all the time. Your action scenes are so sharp, they get my blood pumping."

Cheng Long smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I've seen your shows too. I especially love Ji Xiaolan, the Eloquent One, and Mr. Wang Gang's portrayal of Heshen. By the way, what about the Emperor? Zhang Tielin and I are old acquaintances."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Old Zhang went to England."

Cheng Long nodded and greeted the local bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles.

Zeng Li was extremely excited at this moment. It was Jackie Chan! She had been watching Jackie Chan's movies since she was a child. He was a super star.

Li Xiaoran and Pan Yueming weren't much better off, but Qin Hailu wasn't particularly excited; she doesn't like watching action movies.

Just then, a mother and daughter, both dressed in flowing white dresses, walked in. Cheng Long's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Qianqian; the little girl was so beautiful. If only his son were...

"Brother Chen Fang!!!"

Liu Qianqian screamed and ran into Shen Fang's arms, and Shen Fang quickly caught her.

Liu Qianqian hugged Shen Fang.

I miss you so much.

Shen Fang smiled: "Qianqian has become even more beautiful."

"Brother Chen Fang, where's my gift?"

"I've already prepared it for you, Xiao Kun, bring the gift over."

Shen Kun handed over the diamond safe that Shen Fang had brought back from Hong Kong, as well as the Chanel diamond necklace and earrings that Shen Fang had bought for Liu Qianqian.
