Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

"It works."

Li Guoli laughed as he looked at Lu Yan, his eyes full of admiration. Damn it, why aren't all actors like Lu Yan? If they were, it would be so much easier.

He has superb acting skills in dramatic scenes and can also perform his own action scenes, putting him far ahead of 90% of actors today.

Li Guoli was already thinking about whether there was a chance to collaborate with Lu Yan and have him play the lead role. He believed that the young actor's action scenes, filmed in one continuous shot without any editing, would surely amaze the audience.

After the location was changed, Lu Yan continued to serve as a stunt double, working with Chen Weitao. His professionalism earned him repeated praise from Chen Weitao.

Liu Yifei's little temper was also put away obediently by Lu Yan's popsicle. In the middle of the filming, Liu Yifei even borrowed the crew's camera and, after asking Cai Yinong for permission, filmed Lu Yan to make a behind-the-scenes video to post on her social media account.

Big-budget productions like The Promise need to maintain an air of mystery, and nothing can be revealed before the film's release. In contrast, some TV series promotions use behind-the-scenes clips, since the actors will be helping with the promotion anyway.

It's nothing for Liu Yifei to film some behind-the-scenes footage.

With Lu Yan taking the blame, the afternoon's filming proceeded as scheduled, and he successfully completed his final part of the shoot.

Filming has officially wrapped.

That evening, Li Guoli personally paid for a wrap party for Lu Yan, inviting a few of the main actors and several core producers from the production team to have a simple meal together.

Compared to the losses from the work stoppage, the cost of a meal is nothing.

At the dinner table, when Brother Hu learned that Lu Yan was going back the next day, everyone said goodbye to Lu Yan with reluctance. After two months of getting along, they had formed a deep friendship.

"Brother Yan, what will I do without you?!"

"I can't live without you."

Hu Ge playfully grabbed Lu Yan's hand. At this time, Hu Ge indeed had the vigor that a young man should have. Lu Yan found it hard to associate him with the mature and steady old Hu of the future.

"Professor Lu Yan, I...I'd like to offer you a toast."

Liu Pinyan imitated Cai Yinong and the other adults. Just as she stood up, her hand trembled, and all the juice spilled onto the ground.

Liu Yifei's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent as she looked at Lu Yan and Liu Pinyan. Her temper hardened, and her fists hardened... Damn it, they're flirting with other women again.

Lu Yan shoved the two away in disgust: "I'm going back to class, not to visit a grave. And you, what's with spilling the juice on the floor?!"

Cai Yinong and the others at the dinner table laughed heartily. After the meal, everyone went home.

That evening, Lu Yan received over 300,000 yuan in film remuneration in his bank account.

The next morning, he boarded a Shanghai Airlines plane to return to the capital. The ticket had been booked a few days in advance, and for safety reasons, Lu Yan had deliberately avoided China Eastern Airlines flights.

......

The day after Lu Yan returned

Liu Yifei sent Lu Yan the behind-the-scenes footage she had filmed on QQ, along with several selfies, and proudly declared that she would post the videos on her Tianya account.

Lu Yan was both amused and exasperated. He also put the files into a USB drive for safekeeping, as these would become precious memories in the future.

When Lu Yan returned to school, looking travel-worn and exhausted, some people who knew him greeted him warmly, and he responded to them listlessly.

Every student at the performing arts academy knew that Lu Yan and Liu Yifei went to film a movie together.

This college is so small that even the smallest thing can have hundreds of versions spread. As a highly watched campus star, Lu Yan's every move is known to the students.

When Lu Yan returned to the dormitory, only Liu Xiaojian was there. When he saw Lu Yan, he thought he had seen a ghost.

"Oh my god, Lu Yan, what brings you back?"

"Where are Lao Zhu and Luo Jin? Why aren't they in the dorm?"

Lu Yan looked at the dormitory, which was still like a doghouse. "Great, this is what a dormitory should feel like."

As Liu Xiaojian opened the freshly made instant noodles, he replied, "Luo Jin went to work as an extra. He's probably at Shengshi Nangong."

Shengshi Nangong, one of the film and television cities in Beijing, was the filming location for the first season of "Princess Pearl".

Hearing that Luo Jin was still playing minor roles, Lu Yan wasn't surprised at all. Luo Jin was a workaholic, always either filming or studying on set, always working like he was on steroids.

Speaking of Luo Jin, he is a person with principles. Even though his good roommate Lu Yan has become successful, Luo Jin has not asked Lu Yan to find him acting roles. He has remained the same as before.

The only change is that he was provoked by Lu Yan and is now working even harder.

This is in stark contrast to Liu Xiaojian, who constantly brags that Lu Yan is his buddy and good brother, and that getting a role isn't as simple as it sounds.

"What about Old Zhu?"

Liu Xiaojian's expression changed, and he turned to look at Lu Yan: "Old Zhu went to date."

Lu Yan had just put down his bag and sat down when he suddenly looked up, his face full of astonishment: "What?! Dating?!"

"Yes, he's dating Pan Yutong from our class. I don't know what happened, it just suddenly...like a typhoon."

When you think of Pan Yutong and Lu Yan, a face immediately comes to mind.

It turns out it was her. I remember Zhu Yawen did have such a relationship, and it was a long-term one, but unfortunately it ended without a trace.

Actually, Pan Yutong is a pretty good person. She comes from a good family and has a good personality. She and Lao Zhu are a good match, but perhaps it is precisely because of the disparity in their family backgrounds that they ultimately cannot be together.

When Luo Jin returned that evening, he was stunned for a long time upon seeing Lu Yan.

After all, Lu Yan had been gone for two whole months, which is not just a day or two. It takes time for the brain to process seeing someone again.

That evening, Luo Jin treated Lu Yan to dinner, and Lu Yan couldn't refuse him and went along.

Knowing that Lu Yan disliked pointless socializing, she only invited a few male classmates with whom he got along well.

......

After staying in the dormitory all day, Lu Yan went to find Lao Wang to report back from leave. He had been attending classes during the day and sneaking out at night and on weekends to do preparatory work.

Before we even started, we encountered our first problem: we had to submit new materials for the permits we had previously obtained. The previous permits were for a studio and did not have the relevant director's license.

The procedures weren't entirely formal, so they needed to be redone. This time, Lu Yan went directly to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, too lazy to go himself.

At the time, I didn't expect it to end up being a production, so I didn't do it in such detail.

The studio's name was changed from Studio to Yanxin Media Co., Ltd.

After the documents were processed, Lu Yan went to find Yu Nan again.

Private restaurant, fourth-floor office.

"What? You want to turn it on again!"

Across from Lu Yan, Yu Nan crossed his legs, held a thin women's cigarette between his index and middle fingers, exhaled a puff of smoke into Lu Yan's face, and spoke with a tone full of surprise.

"Yes, it's still a low-budget production. Sister Nan, if you're available recently, why don't you play the lead role? Don't worry, this role has a lot of screen time."

Last time, Yu Nan complained that she didn't get to enjoy playing a female role because she didn't have many scenes.

Yu Nan looked at Lu Yan, not knowing what to say for a moment. He thought to himself, "How long has it been? Lu Yan is already starting filming again. Is he addicted to filming?"

Yu Nan began to feel worried, fearing that Lu Yan had succeeded in seeing the stone and was now getting stuck in a rut.

The success of "Stone" was largely due to its excellent script, but good scripts are not easy to write.

No, we must persuade Lu Yan to stop; we can't let him act impulsively.

"Lu Yan, you're not trying to gamble everything again, are you? I think we might be..."

"Hmm, sis, why don't you take a look at the script first..." Lu Yan handed over the script.

Yu Nan's hand froze in mid-air for a while before she finally took the script... A minute later

With a loud bang, the tea set on the table jumped, and Yu Nan's expression changed from doubt to ecstatic joy.

"Lu Yan, when will you turn on the camera!"
