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

Upon hearing Luo Jin's words, Zhu Yawen stiffly turned his head to look at Liu Xiaojian, whose face was pale, and his world seemed to collapse instantly.

"Hey bro, did you win?" "Say something!"

Zhu Yawen shook Liu Xiaojian's shoulders frantically, his eyes bloodshot. Liu Xiaojian dared not look Zhu Yawen in the eye and stammered.

"Probably...maybe...it's probably...we lost."

Despite being mentally prepared, Zhu Yawen still couldn't hold back upon hearing this devastating news. He staggered back two steps, clutched his head, and let out a long, mournful cry.

"No!"

"Didn't you say you were sure to win? This is my living expenses!"

Lu Yan felt there should be background music here: snowflakes falling... north wind...

And just like that, Zhu Yawen had already donated the one month's living expenses he had just asked his family for, before he even had a chance to get used to it.

Looking at their dejected appearance, Lu Yan shook his head and sighed, "Gambling dogs, gambling dogs... they've lost everything."

Zhu Yawen is one thing, but Liu Xiaojian really has gambling in his genes; he has the potential to go to the rooftop or go to Myanmar.

He had already advised the two of them that adults should know how to take responsibility for their actions.

Compared to the two, Luo Jin, who bought 100 TEDA tokens with Lu Yan, was practically grinning from ear to ear.

Although I don't earn much money, it's entertaining.

His only regret was not buying more. After this incident, Luo Jin looked at Lu Yan with a very strange expression.

There was a kind of inexplicable piety.

He now believed that Lu Yan truly possessed a strange kind of luck, while Zhu Yawen was in a terrible predicament, having staked all his money on the competition and now unable to afford even food.

He asked Luo Jin for money, but Luo Jin refused. First, he didn't have much money left, and second, he wanted to teach Zhu Yawen a lesson.

For the next two days, Zhu Yawen will be eating at the expense of Lu Yan and Luo Jin's meals. If nothing unexpected happens, this situation will continue for another month.

As soon as Lu Yan received the funds, he split all the money into smaller amounts, transferring a portion to the shell company's bank account.

He won a total of 2.5 million, but after the platform took 10% and then deducted his personal income tax, he was left with only 2 million!

  

Lu Yan was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days. He could accept the tax deduction as a citizen's duty, but the platform taking such a large cut was going too far.

November has officially arrived.

Lu Yan's film "Crazy Stone" is scheduled to be filmed in mid-November. November will be even busier than October, as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is on the 5th, and if there are no surprises, he will be attending the awards ceremony.

After the Golden Rooster Awards conclude, I'll be heading to Tokyo on the 9th to attend the Tokyo International Film Festival, which will involve various social engagements and other miscellaneous tasks.

It will be at least mid-November before I can get away.

Therefore, saying that the system will be operational by mid-November is a conservative estimate; the time will most likely be delayed further.

On the evening of November 1st, Lu Yan came out after taking a shower and saw that his phone had received two calls in a row, one from Yu Nan and the other from Huo Jianqi.

Lu Yan called Yu Nan back, and Yu Nan's voice was filled with excitement on the other end of the phone: "Lu Yan, our film has been shortlisted!"

"Really? Congratulations..."

Unlike the previous announcement of passing the preliminary review, this time being shortlisted means entering the final round.

Although the Golden Rooster Awards selection process has been simplified from the initial 3-2-1 to a 2-3-1 system, it still involves numerous screening procedures. The films that manage to stand out from these processes are all highly competitive.

He wasn't surprised at all that Jingzhe was nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards. If nothing unexpected happened, Jingzhe would have been nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards but wouldn't have won any major awards.

However, Yu Nan won the important award for Best Actress with her work "Awakening of Insects", becoming the Golden Rooster Award-winning actress.

After hanging up with Yu Nan, Lu Yan called Huo Jianqi back, who also called to share good news.

"Warm" was also successfully nominated for the Golden Rooster Award.

Huo Jianqi invited Lu Yan to attend the Hundred Flowers Film Festival together. From the phone call, Huo Jianqi sounded very happy, and the noisy environment on the other end seemed to be a celebration.

"Let's have dinner together after the awards ceremony and celebrate properly!"

"Okay, then you go ahead with your work."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan stood on the balcony, staring blankly at the brightly lit campus below. After a long pause, he suddenly smiled with relief.

One laugh, then two, echoed from the balcony throughout the entire upper floor of the dormitory.

When he heard the results from Huo Jianqi, he knew that all the past events would become a thing of the past.

Now, the light boat has truly passed ten thousand mountains...

"Warm" will not only be nominated, but will also win the Best Story Award, the most prestigious award at the Hundred Flowers Film Festival, one of the most valuable awards.

He will also use his Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor to complete a leap and transformation in his identity.

At this moment, Lu Yan's heart was like that of a chirping bird, wanting to shout out loud and vent his emotions.

He thought about it again and again, and finally sent a text message.

Have you eaten? I'll treat you to a meal!

In the girls' dormitory, Liu Yifei, who had just finished eating and was wiping her mouth, saw a message on her phone.

"..."

Early in the morning, Wang Jinsong hurried into the office, carrying a shoulder bag and covered in sweat.

Walking and complaining, "It's so hot! Ah~ air conditioning is so much cooler..."

On his way here, the chain of his old bicycle broke, forcing him to push it for two kilometers.

Wang Jinsong had just put down his backpack and stood up to get a glass of water when he turned around and saw teachers Huo Xuan, Cui Xinqin, Zhang Hui, and others huddled around a computer, excitedly discussing something.

He walked over curiously, and when he heard footsteps, the others quickly looked over.

"Teacher Wang, you've come at the right time! Come and take a look."

"Congratulations, Teacher Wang..."

Wang Jinsong paused, completely bewildered, not knowing what they were talking about.

Congratulations? What kind of joy is this? His son was just born, and the banquet hasn't even been held yet, and they already know?

"What are you looking at? I can't understand what you're saying."

Zhang Hui said jokingly, "Old Wang, this is no fun. Stop pretending. We've already seen the published list."

Wang Jinsong was even more frustrated. What were these people talking about? He couldn't understand a word of it.

Professor Cui Xinqin, the most senior professor, gave up her seat: "Come, come and take a look."

Cui Xinqin is the vice dean of the School of Performing Arts, and also the most senior and accomplished teacher in the entire school.

At 53, he still remains dedicated to teaching, and several now-famous actors, including Zhao Yanzi, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun, are his students.

Wang Jinsong bent down in confusion to look at the computer screen, which displayed a notice.

[Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival Nominations]

The simple gold header, with a line of gold flowers, displays the shortlisted names in gleaming gold lettering.

Wang Jinsong looked down and saw that the first item on the first line was Zhang Yimou's "Hero," followed by a list of their lead actors.

The second line is Ulan Tana's "Warm Spring".

Upon seeing the third line, Wang Jinsong's body trembled, his eyes quivered, and the words on the third line were clearly written.

The information section for "Warm" lists Huo Jianqi as the general director.

Starring: Lu Yan, Li Jia, Teru Kagawa...

Wang Jinsong: "Lu Yan!!!"
