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

"dad!"

Before Lu Jianming could see clearly, Lu Yan beckoned and walked over. Lu Jianming was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up with excitement, but he quickly concealed all his emotions and nodded lightly.

"Um"

Chinese parents have a unique sense of restraint; they worry and miss their sons when they don't come home, and are happy when they do, but they don't want to show it.

"Lu Yan is back?"

"You've grown taller! Do you still remember me? I'm your Uncle Wang. I used to hold you when you were little."

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Yan greeted each of his old neighbors and chatted with them.

A sharp-eyed neighbor spotted the new car parked on the side of the road that hadn't been registered yet.

"Lu Yan, is that car yours? Why doesn't it have license plates?"

  

Lu Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just bought it, and I haven't had time to register it yet."

"car!!"

Lu Jianming hadn't paid any attention at first, but when he heard Lu Yan say that, his eyes instantly locked onto the new car, and his lips were trembling. The car!

Lu Yan, that brat, bought a car.

Upon hearing this, the neighbors all stood up and walked towards Lu Yan's new car, their eyes filled with shock.

Oh my, how much money has Old Lu's son made outside? He's driving a four-wheeled car now.

Among the crowd were young people returning home for the Chinese New Year. Those who knew a lot about cars recognized it as a Santana and asked about the price.

Lu Yan answered truthfully, and Lu Jianming was shocked and excited when he heard that the car cost 100,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan was undoubtedly an astronomical sum for him. Lu Yan spent 100,000 yuan to buy a car casually.

This isn't buying a car, it's outrageous spending!

Lu Jianming originally wanted to give his son a good talking-to, but considering there were many people outside and that Lu Yan was now a public figure, he had to save face, so he held back from saying "throw that star" at him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Yan went upstairs. He parked his car on the side of the road. This old neighborhood didn't have much underground parking; cars were parked on the roadside. That's how relaxed small cities are.

Everyone watched the father and son leave with envy, thinking to themselves, "We're all sons, so why is it that other people's sons are so outstanding?"

He bought a car worth 100,000 yuan without hesitation. Lu Jianming even said that being a celebrity doesn't make money. What a load of bull!

As soon as they got upstairs, Lu Jianming couldn't help but complain about Lu Yan's wasteful spending. He told him not to buy such an expensive car, that having something to drive was enough, and to return it.

Lu Yan had already prepared for this, explaining that he bought the car for work purposes. He couldn't come back without a car, as it would be inconvenient to travel and would damage his image.

Lu Jianming once again considered that his son's status was no longer what it used to be, and said nothing more.

Upstairs, his mother, Liu Lanlan, was cooking. When she saw Lu Yan return, she laughed and cried. Upon hearing that he had bought a car, she was so excited that she insisted on going downstairs to see it.

She even forgot about the food cooking in the pot; Liu Lanlan fully supports Lu Yan buying a car.

Liu Lanlan's ambition is to travel; having a car would make things much more convenient when going out.

After dinner, Lu Yan talked to the two elders about their retirement plans, telling them they didn't need to work too hard. He said that he could earn more in a month than they could in ten years. They had the means; why bother working? Enjoying retirement was the right path.

Lu Jianming and Liu Lanlan are just ordinary, honest people. It's fine to ask them to save money, but it's really hard to accept that they stop working.

They only promised not to bother them anymore, but the shop remained open.

In the short two days since Lu Yan returned, he has received calls from elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, and high school classmates, all inviting him to class reunions.

Lu Yan also showed up at the small gatherings where he had a good relationship with his classmates. Firstly, after being away for so long, he wanted to see how his classmates had changed.

Secondly, he didn't want people to say that he started doing this kind of thing after he became rich.

Of course, it was just a casual meeting to catch up. If anyone was trying to take advantage of us, sorry, we wouldn't allow it.

After the family reunion dinner, fireworks went off all night, keeping Lu Yan awake all night.

I slept all day on the first day of the Lunar New Year to catch up on sleep.

Because it's forbidden to visit relatives on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lu family's tradition is to gather together for a reunion dinner on the second day.

Uncle Lu Jun's hand was still useless. Although his body has recovered well, it is still not as good as before.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat somber, though it was not something Lu Yan should worry about.

At the dinner table, the Lu family members chatted together. The elders of the Lu family sat on one side, the children on the other, and Lu Yan sat with his two cousins ​​from his aunt's family and his cousin's 17-year-old niece, Lin Xin.

Although she is his niece, she is only a few years younger than Lu Yan. The two played together when they were young. All the other children are much younger than Lu Yan, and Lu Yan doesn't want to talk to his third uncle, Lu Jianguo, that good-for-nothing Lu Jun.

I chatted with Lin Xin and learned that she was working in a factory to help ease the burden on her family.

Lu Yan couldn't help but compare Lin Xin with Lu Jianguo's son, Lu Jun. Hey, I won't say who's the good-for-nothing.

Lu Yan told Lin Xin that she could tell him if she needed anything in the future. Lin Xin smiled and nodded. She knew that this uncle, who was only a few years older than her, was no longer the same as before and could help their family.

At the dinner table, Lu Jun kept praising Lu Yan for his success, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Lu Cuicui, true to her sharp tongue, warned Lu Yan to be careful in this industry and not to give anyone any leverage over him.

Uncle Lu Jianguo was different. Behind his praise was a lot of flattery, especially after he learned that Lu Yan had bought a car worth 100,000 yuan, he tried to find out about Lu Yan's income.

Lu Yan knew exactly what his third uncle was thinking, so he just gave a few perfunctory replies to get by.

Lu Jianguo kept telling him to take care of his younger siblings in the future.

Lu Yan continued to give perfunctory responses, which made Lu Cuicui almost furious. If her husband hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have used profanities to start the new year for Lu Jianguo.

With Lu Jianguo stirring things up, the family reunion dinner didn't end harmoniously. The main problem was that the tense atmosphere between Lu Jianguo and Lu Cuicui ruined the warmth of the reunion.

Lu Yan lost his appetite after only a few bites and couldn't even eat in peace.

......

Crazy Stone's third week of release

Because of the strong word-of-mouth in the previous week, the box office remained strong in the third week, mainly due to the help of China Film Group in promoting the film "Lu Yan".

The profit model of cinema chains is very simple: they schedule screenings in their affiliated cinemas and then collect box office revenue as payment.

The better the film does at the box office, the more money they receive. For films that don't do well, if they are over-promoted and fail to recoup their investment, they will be the ones who lose money.

No one wants to make a losing deal, and this rule gives rise to the principle that the strong will always be strong.

The box office growth slowed in the third week, with only less than five million in revenue.

The box office figures haven't been released yet because the data is reported layer by layer, which causes a lag, making it impossible to calculate the box office figures immediately.

March has arrived.

Lu Yan, who hadn't even stayed at home for a few days, was about to head back to school. His classmate Liu had already arrived at school and was calling him nonstop, urging him to return.

On March 29th, Lu Yan boarded a flight back to Beijing.

During the report, Lao Wang specifically asked Lu Yan about the film. Lu Yan knew that the weekly data was internal, so outsiders did not know the estimated box office of "Crazy Stone".

Lu Yan only told Wang Jinsong that they wouldn't lose money and that the box office was doing well. Wang Jinsong even encouraged him not to be discouraged, saying that as long as they could break even, it would be a victory.

Lu Yan just smiled at this. On the third day after returning to school, the box office results for Crazy Stone came out.

Lu Yan received a call from China Film Group immediately; the final total box office was 2880 million.

The total exceeded Lu Yan's initial estimate of 25 million by more than 3 million, likely due to the support of Wang Quan'an and Yu Nan's names, as well as the increased screening opportunities provided by China Film Group.

At the same time, China Film News, which specializes in compiling box office data, released a total box office analysis of films released during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

......

In his office, Wang Jinsong brewed some goji berries and arrived at the classroom early to begin a busy day of teaching.

Unfortunately, the first day of school is the busiest time, with a lot of backlogged work to deal with.

Wang Jinsong had just turned on his computer when a pop-up news window appeared, featuring a contestant on a popular quiz show who had just missed out on the grand prize of 500,000 yuan by choosing the wrong answer to the last question.

What's most infuriating is that he got through all the difficult questions, but he stumbled on the easiest, free points question.

After reading it, Wang Jinsong smacked his lips and sighed, "This question was obviously a freebie. How could you get it wrong? One wrong decision and you've lost 500,000. They even gave you the cards, and you still chose the wrong one. Sigh."

Suddenly, the door slammed against the wall with a loud bang, and Old Wang's table shook. Zhang Hui, holding a newspaper, rushed to Wang Jingsong's side.

"Old Wang...you deserve to die!"

Wang Jinsong's face darkened: "Who raised you? How come you start swearing as soon as you open your mouth?"

Zhang Hui asked with a suspicious look, "Old Wang, you don't know?"

"Lu Yan's movie from your class... it's a smash hit!!!"
