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

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll see you off."

Lu Yan ignored the strange looks from his classmates and pulled out a chair to see Wang Yu off.

The hearts of everyone at the table were in turmoil as Lu Yan got up to see the guests off, and it took them a long time to calm down.

Turn it on? What kind of machine is it?!

Lu Yan has a role now? Didn't he say he wasn't selected?

The most expressive of all was Chen Yun, whose face was as green as a tomato, looking extremely unpleasant, and his left hand was making a cracking sound as he gripped the plastic cup.

"Hey Zhu Yawen, what's going on? Did Lu Yan also get a role? Didn't they say he wasn't selected?"

"You're his roommates, you must know, right? That's so unfair of you, you're classmates and you still kept it from him."

Zhu Yawen: "..."

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Lu Yan didn't say either." Zhu Yawen suddenly had a bold guess in his mind: "No way, that bastard Lu Yan really did pass the audition, but he didn't tell them the truth."

Holy crap!!! We agreed to play minor roles together, how did you start filming already?!

"Tch, I bet it's some low-budget film from who-knows-where. What's so special about it?"

One of the two girls who had just mocked Lu Yan was sour, as if she had eaten a lemon. Even so, no one in the room was stupid. Students like them were lucky to even have a chance to perform, no matter what kind of movie it was.

Even if things don't go well, you can still get paid.

As everyone speculated, Lu Yan returned, sat down nonchalantly, picked up a skewer of kidneys, took two bites, looked up and found everyone staring at him, their expressions seemingly saying something.

Aren't you going to explain?

Lu Yan sighed and tossed the skewer aside: "Alright, actually, I, Director Wang, passed the audition. I was planning to tell you guys after filming was finished, but I didn't expect..."

"!!!"

Lu Yan's words were like a depth charge, shattering the minds of everyone present. Their jaws dropped open, their eyes filled with disbelief. How could this be?

Lu Yan... he really got into Director Wang's film crew!

Are they dreaming? Lu Yan, a sophomore, got into such a prestigious production team! He really succeeded in the audition, while so many of his seniors didn't.

Lu Yan actually succeeded! How can God be so unfair!

That's a renowned director! Wang Quan'an's first film was an award-winning masterpiece. This time, he has patiently polished the script for three years, definitely aiming for Cannes and Berlin.

Lu Yan's first acting role was in a film of this caliber.

At this moment, everyone was so envious they almost cried. They thought Liu Yifei had reached her peak, debuting as a lead actress, but they never expected there were still experts out there.

Chen Yun's face turned purple, and he roared with anger in his heart, feeling like a clown. How could Lu Yan have such incredible luck!

If I had known he also auditioned for Wang Quan'an's film crew, wouldn't I have been the one to get the role?

  

"Lu Yan, how did you get elected?!"

"Which role did you audition for? Was it the lead role?"

"Um!"

"Luckily..."

Lu Yan answered their pointless questions very briefly, but the more low-key he was, the more people envied him.

They both debuted at the same time, but before they even got any acting roles, the other person had already reached the peak of their career. Their starting point was equivalent to ten years for many people.

The most excited people were Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, Lu Yan's roommates. Zhu Yawen excitedly put his arm around Lu Yan's shoulder and couldn't speak properly: "Holy crap!!! Lu Yan, how come you eat so well?"

"We agreed to play minor roles together! How come you're a lead actor so quickly?!"

The atmosphere gradually became more lively. At this point, the object of everyone's flattery changed from Chen Yun to Lu Yan. Chen Yun, with a forced smile, chimed in with a few words, his earlier arrogance gone.

Lu Yan chuckled inwardly. "Little Chen, I still prefer your arrogant self from earlier. Please try to come back to your old self."

The fairly pleasant gathering came to an end. About halfway through, Lu Yan made an excuse and slipped away. To him, these kinds of gatherings were all about exchanging favors and flattery; he'd rather go back and watch a couple of action movies.

He had seen enough of this industry in his previous life.

Zhu Yawen was very happy today. Lu Yan slapped Chen Yun, that pretentious guy, in the face, which made him extremely happy. In the end, he opened a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and then... that was it.

Lu Yan only knew that when he woke up the next day, Zhu Yawen was sleeping in the toilet.

Taking advantage of the last few days at school, Lu Yan packed his things and asked his counselor for leave, which the counselor readily approved.

Compared to theoretical learning at school, counselors naturally prefer students to go out and try things out while still in school, and teachers certainly want their students to stand out more than anyone else.

These are all qualifications for their future. Originally, the class was planning to have Lu Yan participate in the school sports meet as a volunteer.

However, because of filming, he perfectly avoided a terrible 2000-meter run. Lu Yan felt only one word: awesome!

News of Lu Yan getting a movie role, and working with a famous director at that, spread quickly throughout the 02 acting class. What could the classmates say but envy and jealousy?

Those classmates who weren't very familiar with Lu Yan have become much more amiable in class lately.

However, Lu Yan's topic didn't last long, as the class was quickly overshadowed by a new hot topic: the ratings for the third season of "Princess Pearl," which premiered in July.

Despite a major cast change, the show still achieved a viewership rating of over 12%, thanks to the success of its predecessor. It remains a phenomenal hit, even surpassing Rene Liu's "Pink Lady," which premiered in April.

The reputation is quite polarized.

Time flies, and soon it was time for Lu Yan to join the crew. He pulled an old suitcase and waited at the school gate early in the morning. This suitcase was a discarded one from Zhu Yawen and was given to him.

The wheels are so old they often get stuck, which is very inconvenient, but I'll have the money to replace them after this movie.

After waiting for more than an hour and chatting with the security guard at the school gate for a while, the bus arrived.

Lu Yan put his luggage in the mezzanine and got into the car. By this time, most of the main crew members had arrived. The director, producer, coordinator, production assistant, prop master, cinematographer, lighting technician, costume designer, and others totaled only about forty people.

Two buses—that's all the crew had. The other bus was relatively empty and had already departed earlier, while Lu Yan's bus departed later.

"Xiao Lu!"

"Director Wang."

After greeting Wang Quan'an, Wang Yu, and others sitting in the front, Lu Yan went to the back of the bus. There, he saw a girl wearing wired headphones looking out the window, quietly leaning against the bus.

As Lu Yan walked over, the woman glanced at him and quickly looked away.

Lu Yan glanced at the two empty seats next to him and chose to sit next to the woman, his heart pounding with excitement.

My God, it's Yu Nan! The future Best Actress, Yu Nan.

Whenever Wang Quan'an is mentioned, people will naturally think of one person: Yu Nan. The success of these two can be said to be linked together, because Yu Nan was the female lead in Wang Quan'an's debut film "Lunar Eclipse". Not only that, she was also the female lead in "Awakening of Insects" and later in "Tuya's Marriage".

She can be described as a true all-female star, and all three of these films achieved great success, earning Yu Nan three Best Actress awards.

Yu Nan's screen debut in "Lunar Eclipse" earned her the Best Actress Award at the 4th Deauville Asian Film Festival in France. Her breakthrough performance immediately brought her into the spotlight of international film critics.

Her subsequent film, "Awakening of Insects," earned her the Best Actress Award at the China Golden Rooster Awards and the Best Actress Award at the 19th Paris International Film Festival.

Tuya's Marriage, the third installment in the trilogy, is considered his masterpiece. Yu Nan, who starred in the film, won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and was originally a strong contender for Best Actress.

Although she ultimately failed to win the Golden Bear due to the rules (winning the Golden Bear disqualifies her from winning other individual awards), her performance still captivated countless filmmakers.

This woman is the best example of someone who reached the peak right from the start, and her career has been on a winning streak ever since. While others can boast about having just one Best Actress award for a lifetime, she has won a total of eight Best Actress awards throughout her life.

He has won at least three top-tier international awards, making him a true superstar. Compared to the traffic stars of later generations, he is nothing.

You can talk when you can actually go international. Yu Nan is a true international actress. And what's even more outrageous is that after she stopped making movies, she actually went behind the scenes and became one of the top figures in international cinema.

She has served as a jury member for the main competition at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Chicago International Film Festival, which is an extremely rare honor among Chinese actresses. She's incredibly impressive.

She has completed her transformation from actress to a big name, and she is one of the four international actresses in China, alongside Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, and finally Yu Nan.

Right now, Yu Nan doesn't have that many honors yet; he's just a relatively well-known actor. What does that mean?

That's a thigh!

God, I don't want to try anymore.
