Zhang Ran leaned lazily on his seat, thinking about what happened these days.

The pirated version of "Three Fools" must have been released by Chen Ziwen, but he didn't care much about Chen Ziwen. Anyway, Chen Baihuai was about to collapse in five or six months. In October, the Beijing Land and Resources Bureau took back the state-owned land use rights of seven plots of land including the Morgan Center on the grounds that it had not paid off the entire land price within the agreed period, and Chen Baihuai sent himself into the abyss. Once the deputy mayor's father was double-regulated, Chen Ziwen would be a dead fish.

What Zhang Ran is really worried about is Huayi, and what he is worried about is the power in the Beijing circle. Huayi has been involved with Chen Ziwen recently, and it is very likely that Huayi will also participate in this matter. If Huayi participates in it, it may not be as simple as pirated versions, but there must be other backup plans.

Although Jia Niaoliang and the others have graduated, they have not changed much from when they were studying before, chatting. Zhang Zichen looked at Bai Ling and said a little enviously: "Bai Ling, now you are already popular. Next, you will film Zhao Baogang's "Struggle" again. If you are still the leading female lead, you will definitely become popular!"

Bai Ling smiled and shook her head: "I will not act in "Struggle" anymore, I have been replaced."

"Ah, no, right? You are already popular now, how could you change? Who did you change?"

"It seems Ma Yili!"

"Why did you ask Ma Yili to play? Ma Yili is 30 years old. Is it appropriate to play a college student? Also, Ma Yili's acting skills are not as good as you. Why did Zhao Baogang ask her to play? What's his vision?"

"I don't know either. Not only me, Dandan has also been replaced!"

"What, Dandan has also been replaced?"

When Zhang Ran heard that Wang Luodan was replaced, his heart skipped a beat and frowned: "Bai Ling, Dandan is playing Milai? Why was she replaced?"

Bai Ling said helplessly: "Dandan plays Milei. As for why he was replaced, we don't know. Dandan was quite hit. She likes the role of Milei very much."

Zhang Ran felt uneasy in his heart, and his brows frowned even more: "Recently, who else has obtained the role that our classmates have been replaced?"

Bai Ling said: "The Holy Yi was already sure to play Wen Qingqing, who was in "Blue Blood Sword", didn't know why she changed it."

Cao Bingkun hesitated and said, "I originally signed a contract with the crew of "The Past of Xiangxi" and was later replaced. I asked why, but the crew did not explain."

A trace of sharpness flashed in Zhang Ran's eyes. Zhao Baogang, the director of "Struggle", is from the Beijing circle, while "Blue Blood Sword" and "The Past of Xiangxi" are both Huayi's plays, both of them are from the Beijing circle, and the Beijing circle is secretly banning my students!

The Beijing circle is not the Beijing entertainment circle, either born in Peking, or the Beijing circle, but refers to the big yard children who are in the entertainment circle. These people often have a red background. The main characters in the Beijing film and television circle are Wang Shuo, Ye Jin, Zheng Xiaolong, and Ye Daying. Among them, Ye Daying is a descendant of Ye Ting, which shows its origin. The circle composed of them is to praise whoever is popular, and they promote whoever is popular. In the 1990s, 90% of the artists who became popular in the Peking film and television circle were introduced by them. In the entertainment circle, they can be said to be a person who calls the wind and rain.

Not many people in the entertainment industry dare to offend the Beijing circle. Even a world-renowned director like Zhang Yimou is still criticized for offending the Beijing circle!

In the last life, Wang Luodan finished "Du Lala's Promotion" and said in an interview with the media that the biggest difference between TV and movies is that the heroine is different in age, so she offended Xu Jinglei, and was led by her agent to apologize. Deng Cao's "Villain Angel" hit Guan Hu's "Old Cannon". In order to protect "Old Cannon", Hua Yi used the power of the Beijing circle and joined forces with more than 80 directors to ban Deng Cao.

Zhang Ran is not afraid of the Beijing circle. He is not alone or without a backstage. If there was no one behind him, Chen Ziwen would not just make small moves to make things difficult for Zhang Ran, and would have been dealt with Zhang Ran long ago. Hua Yi knew this and would have made small moves behind his back, otherwise he would have spoken out to ban Zhang Ran.

But now the Beijing circle is not asking Zhang Ran for trouble, but asking Zhang Ran’s students, so things are more troublesome!

Zhang Ran did not explain the whole story to the students, and comforted him with a smile: "That's because they have no vision. This year's Century Summit will be filmed for several TV series, and you will be invited to act!" While speaking, a trace of sharp light flashed in his eyes. What about Huayi and Beijing circles? No matter how powerful your energy is, you can't cover the sky. Let's take a look!

The plane flew smoothly to Tokyo. After leaving the airport, Zhang Ran saw the person sent by Gaga Company, and Zhang Ran’s name was written on the sign he was holding.

Zhang Ran went over and said hello, then got into the gaga company's car and went to the arranged hotel.

After resting in the hotel for a while, Zhang Ran took Jia Niaoliang and Bai Ling to Fuji TV to record variety show **apx**ap. Regardless of domestic and foreign countries, playing variety shows is one of the important means of publicity. When you go to Japan to promote it, you must definitely play Japanese variety shows.

Zhang Ran had no idea about Japanese idol groups and had never heard of **ap. After popularizing science in Bai Ling, he learned that **ap was a national idol group composed of five members, Takuya Kimura, Masahiro Nakagaki, Goro Inagaki, Shingo Kasugaki, and Takashi Kusama. It has been popular in Japan for more than ten years and is unrivaled in popularity.

**apx**ap is a popular variety show hosted by **ap. Its content is mainly cuisine, short dramas, and singer interviews. There are many international superstars participating guests. Since its launch in 1996, it has been popular all the time, and its ratings have often hit the top in Japanese variety shows. Cheng Long, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Andy Lau have all appeared on this show in Japan for promotion.

The program format of **apx**ap is for guests to order dishes, the four members of **ap cook, and the remaining one serves as the host and chats with the arrival guests. Kimura Takuya is more interested in Zhang Ran's movie, and this time he serves as the host.

Zhang Ran, Jia Niaoliang and Bai Ling briefly introduced themselves. After ordering Japanese cuisine, the members of **ap began to cook, and Takuya Kimura and Zhang Ran and others talked about the movie.

Takuya Kimura asked Bai Ling: "Mr. Zhang is your teacher. What kind of person is he in your eyes?"

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Before the girls in our class, they like all kinds of idols, and many like Mr. Kimura. However, after entering Beijing Film Academy, everyone has a common idol, namely Teacher Zhang. He is my idol!"

Takuya Kimura asked, "As such a handsome teacher, there must be many girls in the class who have a crush on him, right?"

Bai Ling smiled and nodded: "Yes, a girl confessed to him on the first day of school. Many girls in the class like Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran laughed: "Why don't I know?"

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Because you have a girlfriend, they will hide it. If you don't have a girlfriend, you will definitely receive a lot of love letters!"

Takuya Kimura asked, "What about you?"

Bai Ling felt a little embarrassed: "I like it too, but it's not the kind of love. In my heart, Teacher Zhang is my relative. Although he is always strict and always puts on the airs of an elder, he is like an older brother in my heart." Bai Ling said gratefully: "Teacher Zhang helped me in the most difficult time. If it weren't for him, I might not have acted!"

Zhang Ran knew that Bai Ling was thinking of the sad thing, so he reached out to rub her head, making her hair a little messy.

Jia Niaoliang also nodded seriously: "For me, the luckiest thing in my life is to enter the 01 watch book!"

After chatting for a while, Takuya Kimura threw the question of the movie to Zhang Ran and asked: "The Three Fools are adapted from Indian novels, why is it adapted from Indian novels?"

Zhang Ran explained: "At that time, our class was about to graduate, and I wanted to make a movie as the graduation work of our class. The best movie suitable for the whole class to participate in is campus movies, but I had no idea what to shoot. Later, I accidentally saw the novel "Five Points" and found it very interesting. So I bought the copyright and made it into a movie as the graduation work of our class."

Takuya Kimura asked: "In recent years, many Japanese anime and literature have been adapted into movies. South Korea won the grand prize in Cannes. "Old Boy" is also adapted from Japanese comics. I wonder if there are any Japanese works that you are interested in?"

Many viewers at the scene were staring at Zhang Ran and were very excited about his answers.

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "There are many stories that are interesting. For example, "Space Fortress". If it is made into a live-action movie, it will be very exciting. Unfortunately, the real-life movie copyright was bought by Warner. Now the whole world is short of good scripts. In recent years, Hollywood has bought a lot of scripts in Asia and went back to remake them. I will definitely buy some movie copyrights when I come here!"

Hollywood's script shortage is not a new problem. In order to find a response strategy, major production companies began to spend a lot of money to acquire novel adaptation copyrights and turned their attention to the East. Before Zhang Ran's rebirth, Hollywood purchased a large number of adaptation copyrights for animation works from Japan, and classic animes such as "Ghost in the Shell" were ready to be live-action.

Zhang Ran was indeed determined to get some scripts when he went to Japan this time, such as "The Slayer of Killing" which will be made into a movie in Hollywood in the future. It is simply a crime to not take down this copyright.

The audience all smiled and started to applaud. Our Japanese story was indeed the best, and Zhang Ran was also interested in our Japanese story!

Takuya Kimura asked: "Does any Japanese actors want to work with?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and turned to ask Bai Ling: "When we were communicating with Japanese universities, what was the girl you pk named Aoi?" He couldn't remember what the girl was named, but it wasn't Sora Aoi anyway. If he wanted to cooperate with Sora Aoi, it would be too destructive.

Bai Ling said: "Yu Aoi!"

Zhang Ran turned to Takuya Kimura and said, "I went to our school for exchanges two years ago. A girl named Yu Aoi impressed me deeply. She is an actor with great potential. Of course, Mr. Kimura, you are also a very excellent actor. If you have the opportunity, I hope to cooperate."

Takuya Kimura smiled and nodded: "I like Mr. Zhang's movies very much and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

At this moment, the four men in charge of cooking announced that the cooking was ready. Takuya Kimura quickly invited Zhang Ran and the others to sit at the dining table and taste their delicious food.

After the broadcast of "**apx**ap" that night, Japanese audiences responded well. Although the ratings cannot be compared with superstars like Cheng Long, at least the normal ratings did not plummet because of their arrival.

On the Internet, many Zhang Ran’s fans expressed their support for Zhang Ran and others by leaving messages.

"I like Zhang Ran so much. I would have liked to meet such a handsome teacher!"

"I feel so touched. There is such a class. Teachers and students are like family members. I am so envious!"

"It turns out that this movie is the graduation work of Zhang Ran and his students. I look forward to "Three Fools"!"

"I think Zhang Ran is more handsome than Onitsuka Eiki. He is very strict in class and gentle in the process. Why can't I meet such a teacher? If I meet such a teacher, I will definitely seduce him and go to bed with him!"

"You are not a man, you are so perverted! Even if a handsome teacher encounters you, you may be scared away!"

"What's wrong with the pervert? I'm willing!"

All in all, this time I received a good response on "**apx**ap".

As for the real effect, I can only wait two days before the movie is officially released to see the audience's reaction. (To be continued.).
