In July, at the hottest time of the year, on a forum that gathered many fans of celebrities, someone said that Lu Yanhe was not actually destined to be a superstar.
This statement sparked a huge debate.
Many people's reaction is, if Lu Yanhe isn't considered a superstar, then what is?
Then, this person said that he was not saying Lu Yanhe was not a superstar, but rather that Lu Yanhe did not have the qualities of a superstar.
He then gave several reasons of his own.
Firstly, Lu Yanhe's current star power and popularity mainly come from his status as a student at Zhenhua University and his "talented" image as a writer, director, and screenwriter.
Simply put, in Lu Yanhe's star power composition, his personal charisma does not account for the majority, but is composed of other parts.
Secondly, the works Lu Yanhe has starred in are enough to make him a true A-list star. His resume and the quality of his works are simply too impressive.
For a moment, no one really knew where to begin refuting the argument.
Some people say that according to your logic, superstars shouldn't have any works at all.
This person replied: It's not that superstars shouldn't have any works, but without exception, the aura of a superstar always comes before their works. Looking back at the real superstars of the past, whose name didn't come before their works?
There was no way to refute it.
This person was very proud of himself and said that no matter who was cast in Lu Yanhe's works, they could make that person a superstar.
Li Zhibai, an actor who is incomparable to Lu Yanhe in terms of his work and is not on the same level, is able to compete with Lu Yanhe on many levels and even has the upper hand in terms of die-hard fans. He is the true superstar.
Even a sneeze can attract attention.
At least nobody cared about Lu Yanhe sneezing.
Of course, the fact that Chen Pinhe is his biological father helped him achieve a leap to becoming an idol legend.
His life story is not only an inspirational tale, but also a legendary one.
He, who was not born with the potential to become a superstar, became a superstar of this era through his talent, hard work, and dramatic background.

Someone forwarded this post to Lu Yanhe.
This person is Li Yuefeng.
Lu Yanhe: ?
Li Yuefeng said: Is this person mentally ill?
Lu Yanhe: You must be out of your mind to share this with me.
Li Yuefeng: Because I wanted to refute him, but I didn't know how.
Lu Yanhe: Why do you want to refute him?
Li Yuefeng: Because what he said made me angry.
Lu Yanhe: The "why" I asked wasn't this kind of "why".
Li Yuefeng: ?
Lu Yanhe: When a dog barks at you, you ask the dog, "Why are you barking at me?" That's the kind of "why" I'm talking about.
Li Yuefeng: I feel like you've insulted me.
Lu Yanhe: I was just reminding you in good faith.
Li Yuefeng: Sigh, you're already a superstar. How come it's becoming more and more difficult for me to catch up with you?
Lu Yanhe: Those who seek the highest will attain the middle.
Li Yuefeng: Where's your face?
Lu Yanhe: "You're already a superstar."
Li Yuefeng: There are things that others can say, but we should be careful what we say ourselves.
Lu Yanhe: "You're already a superstar" — a quote from another superstar.
Li Yuefeng: But someone as honest as you should say more.
Lu Yanhe: Dog.

Lu Yanhe really didn't expect that the discussion about him could continue for so long, for so many years.
He's been famous for almost ten years now.
The journey has been fraught with bloodshed, constant stories, and endless news; it's almost reached the point where everyone is getting tired of it—
Haven't you seen enough of this face yet?
However, people continue to discuss him and pay attention to him tirelessly.
To some extent, he has almost become a cultural symbol of this era.

Li Yuefeng asked him: When are you going back to China?
Lu Yanhe: Next month.
Li Yuefeng: I've already finished filming "The Corpse 3". Do you think I should continue filming "The Corpse 4"?
Lu Yanhe: I suggest you take it slow. The trilogy is enough. If you continue filming, this series will certainly make money, but it will limit your acting roles.
Li Yuefeng: I think so too.
Lu Yanhe: Why don't you consider taking on one or two art films and trying out a new field?
Li Yuefeng: I've been meeting with them, but I haven't come across any scripts that really move me. Didn't you say that if you're not truly moved by a project, and you're only taking on a project because of the director's name or the producer's film festival background, it's hard to give a good performance?
Lu Yanhe: That's true.
Li Yuefeng: Why don't you write me a notebook?
Lu Yanhe: I don't have any ideas for now. If I do, I can write them down for you.
Li Yuefeng: Sure, sure, as long as you agree, no rush, take your time.
Lu Yanhe: However, there is another way. If you don't encounter a role that particularly moves you, you can play a supporting role in some art films. This can also help you broaden your horizons. The key point is that perhaps in one collaboration, a director will see a certain quality in you and tailor a script specifically for you.
Li Yuefeng: Your words have given me an idea.

At the end of July, Yan Liang's "Speed" was finally released worldwide on a large scale, arranged by Parameter.
Lu Yanhe did not attend.
Although he was the screenwriter for this film, he didn't need to participate in its promotion.
On the contrary, his involvement would draw attention away from Yan Liang and Lily Williams.
The world is watching his sensational news from the beginning of the year.
In fact, when Yan Liang and Lily Williams were traveling around the world for premieres and promotional events, many media outlets would ask them about this.
There's no escaping it.
With the release of the first wave of film reviews, discussions about the movie immediately shifted to Yan Liang and Lily Williams.
This film is one of the very few that combines the sexual tension between the male and female leads with the thrills and excitement of a commercial film very well.
Lu Yanhe has always said that once this movie is released, Yan Liang will definitely become one of the most popular young male actors in the world.
This is because this movie is perfect for promoting the male and female leads.
She has a good image, is intelligent, capable, and full of charm.
Just as Lu Yanhe said, every media outlet was praising the two of them.
It's not surprising that Western media praised Lily Williams, but it's extremely rare to see such a unified praise for Yan Liang's stunning good looks.
Even Lu Yanhe had never received such treatment.
Not only in the media circle, but also on social media, audiences who saw the premiere, regardless of whether they were male or female, unanimously expressed their love for Yan Liang.
In the movie, Yan Liang shaved his head, tanned his skin to a healthy wheat color, and shed his boyish appearance, exuding a rugged handsomeness.
Just as Lu Yanhe said, even before the film was released globally on a large scale, many media outlets had already predicted that Yan Liang would be a huge hit.
After its opening weekend box office results, Speed swept the global box office, grossing $45 million in North America, $62 million in China, and a total of $170 million worldwide.
Yan Liang and Lily Williams were also rumored by the media to have developed feelings for each other while filming. (End of this chapter)
