he called out to Yu Yanli to dismount for a scene test, then turned straight to the producer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prepare the contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yu Yanli performed two short dramatic scenes, he was immediately stopped and handed the contract by the producer’s assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Qubing had limited screen time in “Emperor Wu of Han,” appearing only in the latter half of the story and dying after about ten episodes, totaling less than ten episodes’ worth of footage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The producer didn’t calculate pay by episode count—he offered a flat fee of 30,000 yuan, which was far from stingy for a newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a multi-million-yuan production—deep pockets, generous with spending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, although Huo Qubing’s screen time was limited, a large portion consisted of battle scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such battle scenes are always shot slowly, so Yu Yanli would need to reserve at least two months, and since filming locations like the grasslands were harsh, the higher pay likely served as compensation and consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli didn’t negotiate—newcomers have little leverage, and even if he tried hard, he wouldn’t gain much; real money comes after fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Yu Yanli didn’t really need this much pay right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, because his acting income paled in comparison to his stock trading profits, his attitude toward acting had begun to waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli originally chose to apply to Beijing Film Academy because he thought acting paid well; after deeper study and experiencing the charm of performance art, he developed genuine interest—but his main motivation was still money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had other ways to get rich, his drive to earn through acting had weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still stuck with acting because beyond money, he had another motivation—fame and stardom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among those studying acting hasn’t dreamed of becoming wildly famous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fame and fortune—fame comes before fortune; Yu Yanli was greedy and wanted both, and for him, acting didn’t interfere with stock trading…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, landing such a major role in “Emperor Wu of Han,” a top-tier industry production, marked a milestone in Yu Yanli’s acting career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiachuan and his brothers were happy for him and took him out for a celebratory meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating their fill, Lin Jiachuan and Zhou Yiwei planned to stay up all night gaming at an internet cafe; Zhang Songwen wasn’t interested in online games but tagged along to browse the web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli really wanted to join his brothers, but he didn’t go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because tomorrow was January 1, 2003—he needed to see if he could trigger the 【Annual Information】—so he canceled plans with his brothers and ignored Jiang Shengyi’s invitation too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimen was too crowded and noisy, so Yu Yanli went to Guanghua Li, where he’d previously rented an apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near midnight, Yu Yanli bathed and changed clothes, used his dining table as an altar, placed several dishes of cooked food, fruit, and pastries on it, held three incense sticks, and silently bowed toward his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the exact moment, Yu Yanli held his breath, opened the information system, saw the 【Annual】 characters, and excitedly clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t been wrong—there really was an 【Annual Information】 above the daily and monthly ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli counted: ten pieces of information total—the maximum limit for daily and monthly info—whether this was standard for annual info or a first-year bonus, he didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Annual Information 1: In January 2018, the average second-hand housing price in Guanghua Li, Beijing, due to its prime location near the China International Trade Center, was 83,452 yuan per square meter, slightly higher than the Chaoyang district average of 73,514 yuan per square meter…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first piece of information left Yu Yanli stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even doubted whether the “yuan” in the info referred to RMB—80,000 yuan per square meter? Was the ground paved with gold bricks?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli had long known Beijing’s housing prices would rise; in recent years, China’s economy had surged rapidly, and Beijing, as the national center, made this obvious to anyone with sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t expected it to rise this sharply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his knowledge, the current average housing price in Chaoyang was around 3,800 yuan per square meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haidian and the inner four districts were slightly higher, over 4,000 yuan per square meter; farther areas like Tongzhou and Daxing had many homes under 2,000 yuan per square meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli did the math: his current two-bedroom apartment, about 80–90 square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At today’s prices, he could buy it for 300,000 to 350,000 yuan—even accounting for fluctuations, it wouldn’t be much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he bought it now, by 2018 its value would be over 7 million yuan—a twenty-fold increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother with complicated businesses? Just hoard property—that’s all you need to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information overload took him a long while to process; only then did he muster the energy to read the second item—and he was stunned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Annual Information 2: On October 3, 2018, CCTV reported the famous actress Fan…’s tax evasion case, with total back taxes and fines amounting to 884 million yuan…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly 900 million yuan—in taxes?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli recalled the girl from the “Treasure Basin” set who’d often been driven to fury by him, finally resorting to smearing his blood on herself for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still skeptical, he wondered if it was a case of mistaken identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after calmly analyzing the information, he ruled that out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also noticed that nearly 900 million wasn’t all tax—it included substantial fines and late fees—but accumulating to this level was still terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, she had actually paid it all off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information affected Yu Yanli far more than the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even hesitated, thinking of calling Wang Jinghua to ask if her offer to make him Fan Xiaopang’s agent still stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was 900 million yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little bitch was the real “Treasure Basin”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was the power of money—when Yu Yanli now recalled Fan Xiaopang’s previous glares and sneers, they seemed almost cute and charming; her sharp, sarcastic tone now sounded sweet and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this revelation changed his view: acting wasn’t as unprofitable as he’d thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, according to the info, Fan Xiaopang had amassed her vast fortune through acting, investing in film and television, and capital operations—this industry clearly had enormous profit potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli pushed aside thoughts of clinging to rich women or living off others’ wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fan Xiaopang could build a fortune in the billions, and he had a system to boost him, how could he possibly lose to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli set himself a goal: by 2018, he would become a fifty… hundred billion yuan billionaire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thing: Fan Xiaopang’s massive fine, along with Liu Xiaoqing’s arrest in July this year, made Yu Yanli take 【taxes】 seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never paid much attention before; from now on, he’d be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious—never let himself stumble here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Annual Information 3: Ranking the top ten entertainment figures who destroyed their “good man” image—number one, Wen Zhang…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Image?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collapse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scumbag?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli was puzzled by these new terms, but context made their meaning clear enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he didn’t understand one thing: most of the people in this info were unfamiliar to him—he’d never even heard of them—how had this info triggered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System, could you please explain this clearly?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: It’s the beginning of the month—please vote for monthly tickets; the release date is also nearly set—likely the 7th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1373,"2026-06-19T16:16:52.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","206129d63efd68b1ed71abd8527eb6352566eac6faa656d1bcac5d2929868f25","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-68","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-66",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-cover.jpg"]
