Become famous another day.

After maybe the seventh or eighth kick, the door was finally kicked open.

The door lock clanged and changed shape.

Lu Yanhe was the first to rush in. Without much effort, he immediately saw Professor Zhao Dezhong on the floor of the living room.

He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and the scene was scary.
-
At this moment, Lu Yanhe was particularly grateful that he had taken the driving test while filming "Road to Glory" and drove here with Chen Siqi today.

Together with the sixteen-year-old son of Zhao Dezhong's neighbor, he carried Professor Zhao Dezhong downstairs and rushed to the hospital to deliver him for emergency treatment.

About ten minutes later, Chen Siqi and the older sister from the neighboring house also rushed over.

The elder sister said: "I have called Professor Zhao's son and daughter. His son will be back soon, but he is working in Jinkou, so we don't know when he will arrive."

Lu Yanhe was still breathing heavily.

"I just called my counselor. Professor Zhao is a teacher in our college. The college will take care of it and arrange for someone to come over right away." He said to the neighbor, "Thank you for your help."

"We're neighbors, so we shouldn't say such polite things." The elder sister said, "Professor Zhao has helped our family a lot. This brat has been tutored by Professor Zhao countless times on his essays, and his writing is still a mess."

The sixteen-year-old boy didn't expect that he would be scolded by his mother at this time.

"It's a good thing you came today, otherwise he would live alone and no one would know he fell to the ground. Oh, it's a blessing in disguise, God bless you." said the neighbor.

Lu Yanhe also felt fortunate.

If they hadn't come today, it would have been unimaginable.

"Alas, Professor Zhao is the same. He lives alone, and his son and daughter are worried about him, so they want to hire a nanny to take care of his daily life. But he insists that he is not old and has not retired, so he doesn't need a nanny. Now he is alone at home and no one knows when he has high blood pressure." The neighbor lady muttered.

Chen Siqi asked: "Where is Professor Zhao's wife?"

"His wife passed away a few years ago," said the neighbor. "His children are also very successful. One is a senior executive at a company in Jinkou, and the other is studying for a doctorate in the United States. It's just that they live far away, so they can't rush back if there is any emergency."

Only then did Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi understand what was going on.

This really makes people speechless. It makes people feel a little sad.
-
Soon, a vice president of the college and Chen Shiqiu came over together.

Although Zhao Dezhong is not a teacher who is very popular among students in the college, his academic status is very high and he is also a very important professor to the college.

Knowing that Zhao Dezhong almost fainted at home alone and no one noticed him, fortunately Lu Yanhe caught up with him, the vice president of the college patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said, "Yanhe, today is really thanks to you."

Lu Yanhe said: "We met by chance and happened to have an appointment with Professor Zhao."
-
After the leaders of the college came, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi no longer needed to stay here.

They can't help much by staying here.

However, because they were worried about Professor Zhao's condition, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi did not mention leaving.

They just waited with everyone else.

Only after the rescue was over and Professor Zhao Dezhong was out of danger did he breathe a sigh of relief and leave with his neighbor.

It was already evening.

To be precise, the setting sun almost completely sank into the ground and the sky was almost dark, with only a little bit of white remaining, as if it was struggling and refused to be taken away.

Lu Yanhe said to the neighbor, "Let us take you back first."

"Oh, no need to trouble you. We can just take a bus back. There's one right in front of the hospital."

Lu Yanhe: "It's so cold, and it's troublesome to wait for the bus. We just happened to be driving, and it will only take ten minutes to take you back. It's not a bother, let's go together."

When the neighbor heard Lu Yanhe say this, she smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble."

After what happened with Professor Zhao Dezhong, Lu Yanhe now feels inexplicably tired.

Not physically, but mentally.

They sent the neighbor's sister and her son back first.

After the neighbor's sister and her son had walked in, Lu Yanhe did not release the handbrake, but sighed softly.

Chen Siqi said, "Are you tired?"

"A little bit." Lu Yanhe nodded.

"Why don't we find a restaurant here, eat something and relax for a while. We've been tense for the whole afternoon and now we're suddenly relieved. We must be tired," said Chen Siqi.

Lu Yanhe said yes.

Chen Siqi took out his phone, searched for restaurants nearby, selected one, and said, "Let's go. There are restaurants within a hundred meters. Let's eat whatever we want."

Lu Yanhe nodded and got out of the car with Chen Siqi.

As soon as they got off the car, Chen Siqi grabbed Lu Yanhe's hand without saying a word and put it in her pocket.

Lu Yanhe was stunned and looked at Chen Siqi in surprise.

Chen Siqi smiled at him and said, "You looked quite handsome when you kicked the door today."

Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Oh shit.

When will I change my bad habit of being shy when being praised? -
The news that Lu Yanhe saved Professor Zhao Dezhong quickly spread in the college, and then spread to the school.

It was winter vacation, and everyone was active online, so few people were in school.

After this incident came out, all the group chats were discussing it.

This incident was quickly spread to the Internet. The news that Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi saved the school teacher was naturally reported by various media and became a news event with great interest.

Lu Yanhe was really worried that Professor Zhao Dezhong, who was in the hospital, would be disturbed in such heat.

He immediately sent a message to Chen Shiqiu, saying: Teacher Chen, I didn’t expect this matter to spread online. Teacher Zhao may need to be prepared for media interference.

Chen Shiqiu said: Okay, I will also communicate with the hospital and ask the security guards to pay more attention.

Lu Yanhe: Teacher Chen, is Teacher Zhao awake?

Chen Shiqiu: Not yet. I’m here with you. I’ll tell you when I wake up.

Lu Yanhe: Okay, but, Teacher Chen, are you the only one guarding there?
Chen Shiqiu: Several teachers in our college have arranged a shift. Another teacher will come to pick me up at 10 o'clock in the evening. Teacher Zhao's son should also arrive around 10 o'clock in the evening. I will tell him the basic situation and then go back.

Lu Yanhe: Yes, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chen.

Chen Shiqiu: You should also go to bed early.

Lu Yanhe: Yeah.

Putting down the phone, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Meeting Professor Zhao Dezhong today made Lu Yanhe quite emotional. He thought of his parents, his real parents. He didn't know what happened to his parents after he traveled to this world. Would they miss him? Would they be heartbroken because they had to send their loved ones away? When they get old, would they be like Professor Zhao, sick and uncomfortable, but with no one to take care of them?

As he thought about it, Lu Yanhe's eyes turned red.

Can't help it.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and quickly calmed down.

"Who?"

"Your father." Li Zhibai shouted in a hoarse voice.

Lu Yanhe: "... Come in."

Li Zhibai opened the door, entered the room, put one hand on the door, and asked, "Is your teacher okay?"

"We're out of danger." Lu Yanhe stood up and sighed, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

Li Zhibai looked into Lu Yanhe's eyes carefully. "Damn it, Lu Yanhe, you're not crying, are you?"

"Cry your ass off." Lu Yanhe pushed Li Zhibai who was blocking the door, walked out, and poured himself a glass of water. "When will Yan Liang come back?"

"It's tomorrow. He's busier than both of us now. The second season of Friends is on the hot search list every day. It's either this or that being criticized. Only the old actors are a little better. They are not criticized. They are very popular and are invited everywhere. They are as busy as frequent flyers." Li Zhibai sighed and looked at Lu Yanhe. "Why didn't you arrange a role for me in this drama before?"

"No money." Lu Yanhe said bluntly, "I can't afford your salary based on the price of the first season of this drama."

Li Zhibai said, "Uh."

"I didn't invest in this drama, so you don't need to reduce your salary for a Beijing or Taiwan drama. They are taking advantage of it."

"That's right." Li Zhibai responded and nodded. "Yan Liang has accepted the movie 'Gold Rush'. We will both go out to film in March or April. Do you have any plans?"

Lu Yanhe said: "There was a movie that had been looking for me before, but I was still hesitating whether to take it. I haven't made up my mind yet, and I don't have any other plans for the time being."

Li Zhibai: "It's rare to see you free time."

"I'm not free either." Lu Yanhe said immediately, "I just didn't act myself, but I was busy. For example, I said I was going to write a play for the three of us, and I plan to shoot it next year."

"That's still more than a year away."

"Yes, but we have to get the script out this year and find the producers and investors," Lu Yanhe said, "We can't rush to find them when the time comes."

"That's right." Li Zhibai nodded.
-
After Yan Liang came back, the three of them began to officially rehearse the show "Green Apple Paradise".

Since they already had a mature stage, they didn't have to spend too much time preparing this time; they just had to get back to the familiar feeling.

On January 27th, the three of them went to the filming site of "Lost on Journey" together.

They are going to make a cameo appearance in this movie together.

The scene they guest-starred in was the scene in the original work where Wang Baoqiang and several of his co-workers squatted together to discuss the IOU and how to get the money back.

That scene was hilarious in the original film, too.
-
Since director Jiang Lu started directing "Lost on Journey", he has met some stars whom he has never seen before every now and then.

They are all here to guest star in this movie.

A "rustic" and "countryside" road comedy movie has turned into a Lunar New Year movie lineup.

The lineup is so brilliant that Jiang Lu suspects that this movie will eventually become a movie about counting stars.

When Lu Yanhe and the other three appeared, Jiang Lu became more certain of this idea.

We had known for a long time that the three of them would make cameo appearances in this movie, but there were many people who agreed to make cameo appearances but ended up not showing up for various reasons.

As for this scene... Jiang Lu originally thought that these idol-level stars would not be willing to act in it.

Because the image is really ugly and very rustic.

If you say that this is sacrificing image for a very important role, then that's fine.

But it just happened to be a cameo.

Jiang Lu thought they would not agree.

But after Lu Yanhe and the other three found out that they were all in this state, they agreed without saying anything.

After arriving at the scene, Lu Yanhe didn't expect that the first person he saw was Li Bi.

Li Bi carried a camera and said with a smile, "Boss, you didn't expect that I'm here too."

"What are you filming?"

"We'll take some behind-the-scenes footage for promotion when the movie is released." Li Bi said, "This series of yours is called 'Your Appearance Before and After'. We'll compare your handsome looks now with the pictures of you after you've changed your clothes and done your styling."

"..." Lu Yanhe was speechless for a moment, "Why do you have so many flower ideas?"

"It's mainly because the boss taught me well." Li Bi smiled foolishly.

Lu Yanhe said speechlessly: "I have never taught you such a thing."

"You're not my only boss." Li Bi still had a silly smile on his face.

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were listening to their conversation from the side, both of them were laughing so hard that they fell forward and slapped their thighs.

"Oh, you three are finally here!" Jia Long walked over wearing a suit.

"Hello, Teacher Jia!" Li Zhibai greeted Yan Liang.

"Hey, what teacher? Just call me Brother Long." Jia Long greeted them warmly.

Director Jiang Lu smiled and said, "There are no scenes with Teacher Jia today. I came here specially because I knew you were coming."

Lu Yanhe hugged them and asked, "How was your filming? Did everything go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. Wang Dashan looks silly, but he is really talented when he acts." Jiang Lu said, "Besides, with Teacher Jia here, he can solve any problems on the set."

Jia Long smiled and said, "Go to hell, you're making me look like a mountain king."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they went to get their hair done.

Jia Long grabbed Lu Yanhe and walked aside.

Seeing this, Lu Yanhe knew that Jia Long must have something to tell him.

"What's wrong, Brother Long?"

"I want to ask you something." Jia Long said, "Wang Dashan, have you ever thought about signing him to your own company?"

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Jia Long said, "I know you and your agent have opened a company, but I don't know if you have signed any artists. If you don't have this idea, I want to sign Dashan to me. This kid has a talent for acting, and it's not just ordinary talent. It's fate to film this movie with him, and I want to guide him."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Brother Long, it's a good thing that you are willing to take him with you. I don't have the energy to manage artists for the time being, especially the company that Sister Zi Yan and I founded. It's really just a shell company for convenience. Why do people think that my company does everything?"

Lu Yanhe was also helpless.

Jia Long smiled.

"You discovered Dashan and recommended him. I can't sign him directly without your permission." Jia Long said, "Since you don't have this idea, I will talk to him about it. He still doesn't have an agency and is filming alone."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.

There was nothing wrong with Jia Long's approach, even if he didn't do that, and Lu Yanhe couldn't say anything, but he took the initiative to greet Lu Yanhe first, which did make Lu Yanhe feel comfortable.

As for bringing in artists...

Lu Yanhe thought about it and warned himself not to be too greedy for the time being.

He has so much stuff to deal with now, he's biting off more than he can chew.

When we become bigger and stronger in the future, there will be no need to worry about not having artists willing to come.
-
Lu Yanhe and the other two put on white hats, work clothes, and stuffed cotton jackets inside, which made them look even more clumsy. When they came out, they looked at each other, were stunned for two seconds, and then pointed at each other and laughed.

It's not just their clothes. Each of them has been put into makeup and their hair has been styled, making their hair look less fashionable and energetic, and even a little greasy. The same goes for their faces, which have uneven skin tone. As a result, they don't look like stars at all.

All three of them had very authentic makeup done, unlike many celebrity artists who, when playing this kind of characters, would look as perfunctory as possible.

Li Bi's camera has come over.

The three of them stood together, posing in the coolest way with the most rustic looks.

Jia Long watched from the side and said with a laugh: "Oh, this is a big sacrifice for just one cameo."

Wang Dashan appeared at some point and was now standing next to Jia Long, looking very reserved.

"Dashan!" Lu Yanhe greeted him happily when he saw him.

Wang Dashan gave a very reserved smile and called out, "Boss Lu...Boss Lu."

Still like this.

Lu Yanhe sighed helplessly.

"Just call me Yan He, big brother!" Lu Yan He sighed.

Li Zhibai slapped Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said seriously, "What are you talking about, boss! You are our boss, how can I call you by your name!"

Yan Liang followed in a second, with a serious face, nodded, and said: "Yes, Boss, you are our financial sponsor."

Lu Yanhe raised his middle fingers to both of them without any hesitation, and then introduced them to Wang Dashan.

"Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are both my good friends."

Wang Dashan looked at them with surprise and longing, and his posture was even more reserved. "Hello, hello, I am Wang Dashan."

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands with them. Li Zhibai laughed and stretched out his right hand, but instead of shaking Wang Dashan's hand, he grabbed his wrist, pulled him towards him, hugged him directly, and patted him on the back with his other hand.

"I'm very optimistic about you."

Wang Dashan looked at him flattered.

Yan Liang shook his head and said to Lu Yanhe with emotion: "Li Zhibai is a social gangster."

Lu Yanhe said: "We will never be able to learn the skills of a gangster in our lifetime."
-
It was very easy for them to shoot this scene together.

Jiang Lu originally thought that the three of them would have idol baggage and would not be able to fit into the overall style of the movie. Unexpectedly, when these three people stood and squatted in front of Wang Dashan, the status of small people struggling at the bottom of society was directly revealed.

Li Zhibai got a toothpick from somewhere and started picking between his teeth.

Yan Liang squatted between Wang Dashan and Li Zhibai, looking uneasy, bewildered and helpless as if wondering "What should I do?"

Lu Yanhe clasped his hands together and blew trembling air into his palms.

Jiang Lu turned to Jia Long and said, "These three people are really amazing."

Jia Long smiled, "Don't underestimate the three of them. They have played roles that are popular in recent years. No matter what role it is, if they are popular, they must have talent. Moreover, the three of them have a very good relationship. To act in this kind of play together is like acting in a stage play with friends. They are more relaxed than at other times."

Indeed.

If one of them were to guest-star in such a role, they would probably feel a little embarrassed, thinking that such actions are not nice and that they have idol baggage.

Now the three of them feel like they are doing bad things together and have someone to share the shame with. This actually liberates their nature a bit and they can do whatever pranks they want.

After they performed a version, Jiang Lu couldn't help but say it.

"Everyone, please hold back your performance. This is not a play."

After Lu Yanhe and the other two looked at each other, they couldn't help but burst into laughter at the same time.

Wang Dashan looked at them blankly, not knowing what they were laughing at at all.

It took me two hours to shoot this shot and I finally finished it and passed.

Jia Long said, "Let's have dinner together. When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow, we thought we would shoot until the evening." Lu Yanhe said, "Brother Long, what delicious food are you taking us to eat?"

"This is a local restaurant with really good food," said Jia Long.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

The filming is still going on, so Director Jiang Lu and his colleagues can only stay in the crew and continue to eat boxed lunches.

Jia Long took Lu Yanhe and the other three to have dinner at the place he mentioned.

The three of them took off their makeup, changed back into their own clothes, and turned into young and handsome guys again.

On the way, Jia Long asked, "Zhi Bai, I heard that you changed your agent?"

"Ah, yes." Li Zhibai said, "It was just changed. Brother Long, you are well-informed."

"I also heard it from my agent. Zhou Ping'an was Yan He's agent before. It seems that everyone is saying that your agent has lost two popular artists in a row. They are curious about when you, Yan Liang, will leave."

Yan Liang didn't expect that this matter had anything to do with him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands and said, "I haven't thought about leaving him yet. I haven't even established myself yet."

"That's good." Jia Long said, "Although I haven't had much dealings with Zhou Ping'an, my agent said that Zhou Ping'an is quite capable, especially in choosing plays. He can always pick the right plays for his actors. He also mentioned Zhi Bai, saying that all the plays Zhi Bai played in the past two years were chosen by Zhou Ping'an?"

"Yes, that's right." Li Zhibai nodded frankly and admitted, "Indeed, he helped me choose it."

"Do you usually choose the scripts yourself? Or do your agent and team choose them and then give them to you?" Jia Long asked.

Yan Liang said: "Yan He is the only one who reads the script himself. Before, Li Zhibai and I played whatever role Zhou Pingan said. Anyway, I didn't have the autonomy to accept the role before."

Jia Long was curious when he heard this and asked, "Did Zhou Ping'an also help you take over the role of Friends?"

"Then I have to thank Yan He." Yan Liang glanced at Lu Yan He, smiled, and said, "He went to persuade Zhou Ping An. At first, because this drama is a sitcom, no one was optimistic about it, and he was not optimistic about it either. In addition, the production budget was very low at the time, and the salary I could be paid was also very low, so Zhou Ping An was even more reluctant for me to act. But Yan He told him that as long as I acted in this drama, when the second season of this drama comes, my salary for each episode can be increased by one zero, and Zhou Ping An was convinced."

Upon hearing this, Jia Long couldn't help but laugh.

"Yan He, you are really good. You paint a rosy picture for him right from the start." Jia Long said.

Lu Yanhe: "Zhou Ping'an is the kind of person who only cares about profit. It's useless to tell him that the script is good and suitable for Yan Liang. You have to tell him in no uncertain terms how much benefit Yan Liang can bring to him by playing the role in this play, so that you can personally impress him."

Jia Long: "This shows that you are very accurate in judging him."

"The three of us were brought up by him since our debut, so how could we not know him?" Lu Yanhe couldn't help but feel a little bored when talking about this.

"He is also a legendary figure. He has coached so many of your popular stars."

"But everyone broke up with him unhappily," said Lu Yanhe.

Jia Long said: "You can't use Chen Ziyan's standards to measure other agents. Apart from her, I have never seen a few agents break up with artists happily."

"That's true."

"Why did Zhibai suddenly decide to change his agent? Can I ask you?" Jia Long asked.

"It's not inconvenient. He gave the resources that others had found for me to Ma Zhiyuan. Ma Zhiyuan and I are enemies and we don't get along with each other. He still did this kind of thing. I can't tolerate it at all." Li Zhibai said, "I can tolerate other things, but not betrayal."

Jia Long nodded.

"Ma Zhiyuan is also a very popular young man, right?"

"Yes." Li Zhibai nodded, "It's very popular. He is very good at marketing."

Jia Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what Li Zhibai said.

Li Zhibai asked: "Brother Long, you have been in the entertainment industry for so long, is there anyone you don't like?"

"Of course there isn't." Jia Long smiled. "Where there are people, there are disputes and conflicts. It's just that sometimes people don't show it on their faces and try their best to maintain a decent appearance."

"Then Ma Zhiyuan and I can't maintain this respectability. Basically, we will never have anything to do with each other again."

"You are all still young, don't say such things too early." Jia Long smiled.

They arrived at the restaurant to have dinner.

The restaurant is in a small courtyard.

Jia Long introduced: "This small yard belongs to the boss. You see, they also made a piece of land and planted some vegetables and fruits."

"It seems like in this kind of private restaurant, they grow all their own vegetables and fruits."

"The main feature is that it is pure natural and has no additives." Jia Long said, "In fact, I really want to have such a piece of land at home. When I have nothing to do, I can grow vegetables myself. It's quite interesting."

"Then Brother Long, you'd better forget it. You're so busy and you're often away from home. How would you have the time?" Li Zhibai said.

“Just wait until I retire.”

"That's probably difficult. There seems to be no such thing as retirement in the acting industry." Lu Yanhe also laughed, "Even if you want to retire, the audience doesn't want to see you retire."

Jia Long: "That won't work. I don't plan to act for the rest of my life. It's too tiring. I have to have my own life."

"It seems that many people say that they want to have their own lives, but in the end, only a few can actually return to their lives," said Yan Liang.

"Sometimes I think about it. Now I think there will be a day when I retire, but if I really retire, can I really endure the state of never doing what I like again? It's quite risky. Maybe I will still come out to act when the time comes."

Jia Long smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You guys debuted so early, do you still feel fresh about this industry?"

"Yes." Li Zhibai said immediately, "I like acting and performing on stage, otherwise I wouldn't come here to suffer this."

Jia Long: "That's great. I often meet some child stars who debuted very early. Maybe because they entered the industry too early, they lost their passion for this industry very early. You must protect this passion well. Once you lose the passion, you will become a jobber."

"If I no longer have passion for this job, I'll quit." Li Zhibai shrugged.

Jia Long: "I've heard a lot of people say this, but I rarely see anyone actually quit."

"The main reason is that many people think they can still make a lot of money if they stop being artists, and they think they can live well with other jobs, but they find out that they are just taking advantage of this industry, and once they leave this industry, they are nothing." Li Zhibai bluntly said the truth, "Many people around me are like this, they are all self-important. If you ask me, if they want to quit this industry and still want to live like they do now, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"Either be a chicken or a duck."

Lu Yanhe spat out a mouthful of water.

Although he had witnessed Li Zhibai's shocking words many times before, at this moment, he was still shocked by Li Zhibai's directness.

Jia Long also opened his mouth, then closed it again, and in a rare moment of hesitation, he didn't know what to say next.

However, what Lu Yanhe did not expect was that within two days, a very hot topic appeared on the Internet, which was very similar to what they were discussing that day.

Moreover, it brought an unexpected disaster to Lu Yanhe and almost affected their performance in the Spring Festival Gala.
-
“Is there really someone in this world who doesn’t want to be a star?”

“If you had the chance to be a star, would you do it?”

"It's so great to be a celebrity. You can make a lot of money."

……

A media outlet did a project titled “If you were given a chance to be a star, would you be willing to do it?” and interviewed passers-by.

Everyone's reactions were basically the same.

There is no one who doesn't want to be a star. Only a very few people say that they have a career that they love more, so they don't want to be a star.

"Not every star works very hard. If I were asked to be a star like Lu Yanhe, I would be choked. First, I don't have that kind of ability, and second, I can't be as diligent and hardworking as him. However, some stars only work four or five days a month, take photos, record programs, say some shocking words, and do some eye-catching actions, then they can get popularity, advertisers to pay for it, and make a lot of money. So why shouldn't I do it if I have the opportunity?"

"Yes, nowadays many idol artists have no culture, no talent, and even no good looks. They can't even be vases, but they are packaged by capital and made money just by pretending to be very popular."

For many years, people have been dissatisfied with the huge income gap between celebrity artists and celebrities.

"It's not that I want to be a star, I just envy their income. When I work from dawn to dusk every day and earn a few thousand yuan a month, I envy them." A girl smiled and sighed, "Sometimes I would joke and complain to my parents, asking them why they didn't give birth to me prettier, so that I could become a star too, and no matter how tired I am, it won't be as tiring as going to work now."

"I know that this kind of jealousy is irrational, but it's just jealousy." Another person also said directly, "It's okay if I don't know, but knowing that they earn so much, they still complain about being tired from filming, dancing, and being under a lot of pressure. I really want to say, why don't we exchange lives so that I can also experience their tiredness."

……

This interview video was edited and played online, and beyond everyone's expectations, it caused a huge response.

The gap between the rich and the poor is an issue that cannot be ignored in any society. When it comes to the income of celebrities, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the public.

As everyone discussed, they mentioned Lu Yanhe. There was no other way, after all, Lu Yanhe was the most representative young artist.

Someone calculated Lu Yanhe's income last year, and came up with a very exaggerated number, saying that Lu Yanhe's income last year was conservatively estimated to be 100 million.

This number is of course false, Lu Yanhe did not earn so much money at all. However, he made it sound very clear, listing out the numbers bit by bit, from film pay to magazine income, from endorsements to other business income.

Many people on the Internet think that this is true.

Because Lu Yanhe was indeed very popular last year.

The topic of Lu Yanhe’s income exceeding 100 million last year became a hot search.

A high-quality artist with a perfect image, hard work and diligence, suddenly began to be attacked by some people because of his high income, as if he was not worthy of his position.

——He is only 21 years old and can earn 100 million a year. It’s terrifying.

——No wonder everyone wants to be a star. Who doesn’t want to be a star?

——It’s not targeting Lu Yanhe, I just think it’s unfair. Lu Yanhe is talented and hardworking, but is he the only one in the world who is talented and hardworking?

……

When doubts about Lu Yanhe arose, Lu Yanhe was rehearsing on CCTV with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

After the rehearsal, Lu Yanhe and his team discussed some modifications to the stage details with the director team.

Chen Ziyan, Zhou Pingan and Lin Suyang's three managers were standing by and waiting. Because it was the Spring Festival Gala, they all took it very seriously and came to rehearse with them.

As soon as the discussion was over, Lu Yanhe and the other three were taken away by their respective agents.

Zhou Ping'an and Lin Suyang ignored each other.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang said goodbye as usual.

This scene is also quite amazing.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what was going on. He followed Chen Ziyan out, and Chen Ziyan told him what had happened.

When Lu Yanhe heard that his income last year exceeded 100 million, he was surprised and asked, "Is it true? Do I have that much income?"

"Of course not. I know how much you earn," Chen Ziyan said. "They said your salary for Late Spring was 10 million. You know how much these figures are just made up. They are totally unreliable."

At that time, the movie "Late Spring" had no production budget at all, and Lu Yanhe was paid one million, which was far lower than his market salary. Now this marketing account is asking for 10 million... The production cost of this movie is only about 10 million. This is because seeing the good box office of "Late Spring", it is natural to think that Lu Yanhe's salary is also very high.

Chen Ziyan said: "But it's hard to respond to this kind of thing. If we say it's not that high at all and give an exact figure for the pay, more people will come out and say things like, isn't one million a lot? That would be new trouble."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Are there many people attacking me online now?"

"There are some, but they are not mainly attacking you. Instead, they are criticizing the fact that artists have high incomes. You just happened to be used as a target," said Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yanhe sighed.

"This is really..."

Chen Ziyan said, "I'm just telling you about this first. When you go out later, there will be a lot of media waiting outside. When they see you, they may ask questions about this. You should not answer any of these questions yet. Just say it's fake. It's all untrue revelations. How to deal with this public opinion later? I have to have a good talk with the people from the PR company."

During the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, there are always a lot of media waiting outside, because they know that they can meet a lot of stars here.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

As soon as I went out, as expected, many media photographers and reporters came over.

As expected by Chen Ziyan, many people asked about his income.

Lu Yanhe answered according to Chen Ziyan's predetermined script.

"One hundred million? If I made that much money last year, why would I work so hard this year?" Lu Yanhe shook his head helplessly, "How can it be so exaggerated? It's fake, fake."

"How much money did you make last year? Can you tell us?" another person asked immediately.

"How can I reveal this?" Lu Yanhe shook his head.

"Why is it difficult to disclose? Is it because although you didn't make 100 million, it's almost that number?" someone asked maliciously.

Lu Yanhe was stunned and glanced at the reporter.

The reporter saw Lu Yanhe suddenly looking at him and stepped back behind the camera.

Lu Yanhe sighed, thought about it, and responded sincerely:
"First, I don't know how much money I made because I didn't look at the specific contract. My agency team helped me handle the contract, but I know very well that I didn't make that much money."

"Secondly, I did make a lot of money, but that was because when I was an artist, I also started a business. Thanks to everyone's care, Jump Up magazine and self-media were very successful and brought me a lot of income. But why don't you ask other company bosses and entrepreneurs how much money they made, but ask me? Our ancestors have concluded that wealth should not be exposed, but you asked me to show it, which makes me suspect that you have bad intentions."

Lu Yanhe glanced at him in a joking tone.

"Third, no matter how much you earn, as long as you don't evade taxes and every penny is earned in compliance with the law, there is no need to be judged by everyone, right?" Lu Yanhe said helplessly, "If that's the case, how can I make my career bigger and stronger in the future? Siqi still wants to publish "Jump Up" overseas, and I also want to sell my script overseas and make more versions of film and television dramas."

Chen Ziyan suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of Lu Yanhe, and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. We have to go back and rest early. Everyone should go back and rest early."

She and Wang Biao, one on the left and one on the right, escorted Lu Yanhe through the encirclement of media reporters, got into the car, and left.

"You've said too much." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "Although you said it very well, if you say it too much, it will be easy for people to use it as an excuse."

Lu Yanhe nodded and admitted his mistake. "I'm sorry. I was irritated by the reporter's question just now and couldn't help myself."

"Don't think too much, take a good rest, I will handle the public opinion." Chen Ziyan said, "I hope we can resolve this public opinion as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.

However, things went against their wishes. The next day, the director team suggested in a somewhat obscure way that if the news about Lu Yanhe's high income could not be cooled down in the short term, in order to ensure the broadcast effect of the Spring Festival Gala, the program "Green Apple Paradise" would be withdrawn first.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yanhe was stunned. He didn't expect this.

Chief Director Liu Yang specifically sought out Lu Yanhe to explain.

"Yan He, please understand us. This is the Spring Festival Gala. It has great significance and we cannot make any mistakes." Liu Yang said, "No one wants to see such a public opinion incident. I also know that you are not wrong in this matter, but we must consider the overall situation."

Lu Yanhe was a little at a loss at this moment.

Sometimes, it may be like this, the fault is not yours, but you have to bear the consequences of it.

Liu Yang said: "You are a very good artist and a representative of young artists. We really hope you can appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala."

Lu Yanhe calmed down his emotions and calmed down his rationality. He said, "Director, if everyone decides that I can't perform on the Spring Festival Gala, can you please keep the program "Green Apple Paradise" and let Li Zhibai and Yan Liang complete it? Don't let my problems affect them. They have also put in a lot of effort to prepare for this program."

Liu Yang sighed and said, "I'll try my best." (End of this chapter)
