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

Liu Yifei clung to her mother's arm, jumping around like a little girl:

"Lu Yan's movie, didn't we even go to visit the set? The box office results are out, 3000 million! Lu Yan is really amazing."

Liu Yifei was even happier than if she had won an award herself when Lu Yan won.

Liu Xiaoli put down the knife in her hand. What?

Lu Yan's movie, a low-budget production, actually grossed 3000 million yuan at the box office.

How could this happen!

Liu Xiaoli's expression was somewhat stiff. If it were any of her daughter's other classmates, she might have smiled and congratulated them.

But why Lu Yan? The more outstanding Lu Yan is, the more she feels that her judgment is flawed.

But he had to admit that among all the young people he had met, Lu Yan was indeed the most outstanding one.

Young, with great acting skills and numerous awards, he became famous at a young age and then turned to production, producing a film that grossed 3000 million at the box office on his first attempt.

Lu Yan's excellence is probably unmatched in the entire Beijing Film Academy, but the more outstanding he is, the more afraid she becomes.

Especially her daughter's current state; she had sensed something was wrong since their last trip together. Why did she insist on taking her to the mountain town instead of visiting so many other cities?

And coincidentally, Lu Yan was still there, and now that Lu Yan's movie was a box office hit, his daughter was overjoyed.

Liu Xiaoli's elegant face was full of worry. She wiped her hands on her apron, took Liu Yifei's hand and led her to the living room, pressing her to sit down.

His sharp gaze fixed on her, making Liu Yifei feel uneasy.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Liu Xiaoli's serious expression suddenly relaxed. She took Liu Yifei's hand in her palm and smiled gently: "Qianqian, tell your mother honestly, are you dating Lu Yan?"

Liu Yifei remained unmoved and tilted her head slightly.

Liu Xiaoli said earnestly, "You're all grown up now. If you two are really dating, Mom won't object, but you can't hide it from Mom."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flicker of excitement flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes. At that moment, two little figures suddenly appeared in his mind: an angelic Liu and a devilish Liu.

Angel: "Mom is indeed very understanding. It seems we were overthinking things. Even if we had said it, nothing would have happened, right?"

The devil said, "Don't believe her. Do you really think Mom will let you date Lu Yan? Don't be naive! Mom is definitely trying to trick you."

Liu Yifei looked bewildered, pulled her hand away, and said irritably, "Oh, Mom, what are you thinking? Lu Yan and I are just ordinary friends. I've already said I don't want to be in a relationship right now."

Liu Yifei angrily turned her back, got up, and went back to her room.

Liu Xiaoli was rebuked, but instead of being angry, she felt relieved.

Judging from my daughter's reaction, I must have been overthinking it. Sigh, my daughter is too naive. As a mother, I always have to worry a lot.

in the room

Liu Yifei closed the door and peered through it to listen to the sounds outside. After hearing the kitchen noise resume, she leaned against the door.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "That was close! I almost fell for Mom's trick. Luckily, I'm very clever. Hmph..."

Two women, two hundred schemes combined.

  

.......

Back at the school, news of Lu Yan's movie's box office success spread like wildfire.

Within days, the news spread throughout the campus. The most intense reactions came from the school's higher-ups and the students of the 02 Acting Class, who were the first to learn about Lu Yan's investment in the film.

The people making the film didn't know much about it before; they only knew that Lu Yan had invested in it, but they didn't know that Lu Yan was also the screenwriter, producer, and executive producer of the film.

Now that the film magazine is publicly promoting Lu Yan, everyone suddenly realized that Lu Yan has already transitioned from actor to producer and has achieved success in the field.

With a box office of 3000 million, this is a very impressive achievement no matter where you look at it.

Everyone felt a sense of emptiness; who wouldn't feel awkward being in the same class as a god?

Previously, Lu Yan could barely act like an ordinary person and attend classes discreetly.

After "Crazy Stone", his hard-won peaceful life was disrupted again.

Before, when he won the award, he was just an actor. His fellow students might have envied and admired him, and might have wanted to befriend him.

But it won't be like it is now, where anyone can just hand over their documents to Lu Yan after only two short days back at school.

Lu Yan had received so many resumes that they were as thick as a textbook; even his classmates were asking him to send them their resumes.

What else could he do but accept it? Lu Yan had finally experienced the changes and gains that came with transitioning from actor to producer.

In addition to the box office gains, the system's rewards and feedback are equally intense.

The airing and popularity of the two films, "Awakening of Insects" and "Warm Spring," brought him a lot of emotional moments, totaling more than 4 points.

He wouldn't have dared to even think about it before.

Posting on Tieba and Tianya, it would take forever to accumulate this many points.

He hadn't figured out how to use those 40,000 emotional points before, but after "Crazy Stone" became a hit, he gained another 40,000 points.

With 80,000 emotion points in his hand, Lu Yan felt elated; he had never had such a rich account before.

[Host: Lu Yan]

[Emotional Point: 81325]

[Skill: Voice (Tier 4)]

Form (Sixth Order - Higher Level)

Platform (Level 1)

Table (7th to 1st order)

Emotional resonance (not yet unlocked)

Looking at the system panel, Lu Yan fell into thought.

With the current points, you can choose to grind one or two skills to the maximum level, or develop them evenly and simultaneously, raising each skill by one point. It will cost about 50,000 points to bring all performance skills to an extremely high overall level.

However, he still wanted to keep 50,000 points to see what skills he could exchange for in the shop.

The last time he refreshed the page, he found the directing skill, which he really wanted. He wanted to make movies in the future and take control of his own destiny, so he had to learn directing and embark on a production career.

Only in this way can one control one's own destiny, but actually learning this is impossible due to time and energy constraints.

The system is the best shortcut.

After some thought, Lu Yan decided to first bring all the performances to a balanced level before starting the movie, though he didn't know when that would be.

Acting skills are the real strength; focus on the most important thing first.

He insisted on doing it himself next time he filmed; carrying Wang Quan'an's sedan chair this time was really uncomfortable for him.

However, he accepted the outcome; it was a resource exchange, and he benefited from it, so there wasn't much to say.

After consuming over 40,000 emotion points, Lu Yan brought all four basic skills to the top level.

He has no weaknesses in the basics, and he plans to save the remaining points to continue writing short essays to accumulate more.

Zhao Yanzi's movie recently flopped, so we can ride the wave of popularity, criticize her, and then release more notices about Xiao Liu's haters. I believe the points will quickly rise.

A week after the start of the semester, Lu Yan's campus life gradually returned to normal.

Over the weekend, he set aside some time to host a celebration banquet, treating the entire crew to a big meal.

With such great results, if he doesn't celebrate, wouldn't people say he's stingy?

The revenue sharing with China Film Group is still being verified, so it will take a few more days before we receive the money.

When a movie becomes a big hit, the money doesn't go directly into the production company's account. Instead, it goes through multiple layers of distribution, including the government, cinemas, theater chains, and distributors, before finally reaching the production company and investors.

This process is already considered very fast.

Besides attending classes, Lu Yan also spends his days writing scripts. If a movie is successful, he can earn more than 40,000 emotion points.

He writes so many short essays every day, and he has so many scripts in his head, wouldn't it be a waste not to film them?

Currently, Lu Yan has two films in mind, both of which are critically and commercially successful in later generations. Most importantly, they are not expensive.

In the second week of school, Lu Yan finished class as usual and was just about to leave the classroom.

Wang Jinsong suddenly came to find him and took him to the dean's office. Outside in the corridor, Wang Jinsong knocked on the door.

"Dean, Lu Yan has arrived."

At the tea table in the office, Xie Xiaojing, the dean of the performing arts academy, and Zheng Dongtian were chatting. When they looked up and saw Lu Yan, their eyes lit up, and they told Wang Jinsong to leave.

"Lu Yan, come... sit down."

Lu Yan sat down next to Zheng Dongtian and curiously looked at Xie Xiaojing, who was not only the acting dean of the Academy of Performing Arts, but also the head of the Department of Performing Arts.

Calculating the timeline, it should be around 04 when the position of Dean of the Performing Arts Academy will be handed over to Professor Zhang Hui.

Zheng Dongtian greeted Lu Yan with a smile: "Little Lu, we meet again. You said you'd find me to discuss things after you got back to school at the last film festival, and I've been waiting for you."

"Professor Zheng, I was worried about bothering you. If I had known you had so much time, I would have come to find you right away. Everyone knows Professor Zheng from our college..."

Lu Yan showered Zheng Dongtian with compliments, diverting his attention. "Don't ask," Zheng Dongtian said, "I really forgot." He thought it was just a polite remark.

"Haha, Dean Xie and I both watched your movie, it was really good, well done, you didn't embarrass our school."

"Dean, I...I don't think I've broken any school rules recently, have I?"

No, what do you mean by "recently"? I have always been law-abiding.

Zheng Dongtian and Xie Xiaojing exchanged a smile and quickly comforted Lu Yan. Actually, they just wanted to meet this outstanding student who had become famous in the academy and chat about some things.

The three chatted about this and that until Xie Xiaojing finally got to the point. Her words carried a hint of resentment as she wondered why Lu Yan, who already had projects, didn't use the school's resources to pursue them.

For blockbuster movies, schools actually hope that more students can participate. If they knew about it earlier, the school could have some outstanding students participate as well.

They could also get funding for Lu Yan by adding his name at the end of the film, but Lu Yan's decision to go solo without a word put them in a very passive position.

Today we're mainly here to talk about this matter. After hearing this, Lu Yan's eyes widened, and he cried out that he was wronged. "How can you accuse someone of something wrong?"

He didn't look for it; it's the school that's holding him back.

"Dean, you're wronging me. The first place I approached was the school, but you rejected it, so I started seeking investment myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office fell completely silent...
