"The total number of votes Zhang Tong and Liu Ba received is equal to Lu Yuan's!"

"Lu Yuan received the most votes from Yanying students. Will he be the next lecturer at Yanying next year?"

"A student from Yanying Academy: I really hope that Mr. Lu Man...Yuan can be our open class lecturer next semester. I want to listen to his lectures. I like his piano music very much. I really want to know how he composes piano music..."

"Yanying student number two: I hope Mr. Lu Yuan can come to school to give us a directing class. I like his movie "Buried Alive."

"Yanying teacher Li Yuncheng: Sorry, I haven't received any news that the school will replace my course with Lu Yuan's. This is just a rumor..."

"Explanation, Principal Zheng of Yanying Film Academy personally invited Lu Yuan to be a lecturer of Yanying Open Class twice, but unfortunately, Lu Yuan refused both times."

"Lu Yuan once declined the repeated invitations from Yanying School because he had run out of talent? Is there any inside story behind this? Next, let's analyze Lu Yuan..."

“…”

Overnight, all major Weibo and Tieba forums were filled with all kinds of interviews, investigations, speculations, and gossip posts.

There is a person's shadow behind every post.

This person is Lu Yuan.

After being quiet for two days, Lu Yuan once again appeared on the front page of the entertainment gossip section with great momentum and unreasonableness, with everyone gritting their teeth. His popularity was getting hotter day by day.

…

Yanying’s open class lecturers are not fixed.

In addition to Yanying’s own teachers, every year there are some lecturers specially invited from the circle by Yanying to give open classes.

Not just anyone can give lectures at Yanying. You at least need certain qualifications and be popular enough among the students.

Every November, Yanying Academy holds a three-day voting activity called "Vote for the lecturer who is most eager to give lectures at Yanying Academy". The top three people with the highest votes will be discussed by the Yanying Academy and finally invited to be lecturers of Yanying Open Classes...

Of course, the open classes will not take up much of the lecturer's time, and a semester will only last about 20 to 40 minutes. Therefore, generally speaking, those who receive the invitation, whether they are well-known screenwriters, powerful actors, or famous Chinese directors, will not refuse. Instead, they will happily go in formal attire.

After all, being a lecturer at Yanying itself symbolizes a kind of honor, a status, and even more so, seniority, and it also helps to accumulate interpersonal relationships.

This year, Yanying School also announced the top three in the student vote as usual, namely director Zhang Tong, screenwriter Liu Ba, and Lu Yuan...

When Zheng Jianguo saw the votes for the three people, he felt both amused and helpless.

The number of votes Lu Yuan received was as many as the total number of votes received by Zhang Tong and Liu Ba.

This is not just a tiny difference, there is a world of difference.

Zheng Jianguo never expected that Lu Yuan's popularity among students would be so high.

If it were normal, Zheng Jianguo wouldn't care. He would just call the person with the highest votes personally and explain the matter, and the matter would be settled.

After all, Zheng Jianguo is a big shot, and everyone has to give him some face.

But, unfortunately, this person is Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had rejected him twice in a row, and he was not polite at all, almost making it clear that he would not go to Yanying to give lectures.

Zheng Jianguo said that he really couldn't understand Lu Yuan.

It is an honor to give lectures at Yanying, an authoritative institution that most people in the circle dream of coming to.

However, Lu Yuan refused.

This refusal is not a false excuse or true modesty, but a real lack of interest.

This gave Zheng Jianguo a headache.

If you suggest changing someone else, the students may be able to accept it, but they will inevitably be disappointed.

After all, judging from the polls and off-campus interviews, most students want to see Lu Yuan standing on the podium and doing all kinds of ** in person.

He is a democratic principal who respects students' choices and he can't bear to see his students disappointed.

He closed his eyes.

Didn’t father Zheng Guolong say before that he was going to go talk to Lu Yuan in person?

I had previously refused due to my father's health reasons. How about I take some time to accompany my father and give it a try?

…

"Ayuan, this scene is great. It was actually passed in one take. It's great!"

"It's OK. I've found some form."

"Well, good, keep it up. Alright, let's move on to the next shot. Can you handle it? How about taking a break?"

"I can afford it, so I don't need it"

Lu Yuan ignored everyone and just focused on filming.

The reporters cursed and said some harsh words before leaving.

They let Lu Yuan wait and see.

Although many fans continued to wait at the door of the crew, they were not as crazy as before.

"The Wanderer" is still being filmed in full swing in Hengdian. Lu Yuan's progress is obvious. From the bumps and bruises before to now he can slowly get back to his normal state.

After finding his form, Lu Yuan naturally shot a lot faster, and many shots became easier for him.

Lu Yuan found that he was gradually coming to like this feeling.

There are no reporters to disturb you, no messy emergencies, and no running around because of being in a hurry.

That's good.

Very peaceful.

He likes this peaceful life.

Lu Yuan even thought that he could start from being an actor in the future, become a pure performing artist, and act in any drama he wanted...

Of course, the premise is that you have enough money.

Lu Yuan is in trouble now, he really needs money.

You need poetry and distant places, but you also need bread in your hands.

The sun sets, the sky is filled with sunset glow, and night is gradually approaching.

When Fatty Wei yelled that it was time to call it a day, Lu Yuan rubbed his tired body, sat on a stool and removed his makeup.

He looked at the busy crew and Wang Long who was sweating profusely, and nodded slightly.

Wang Long's diligence is not fake, but comes from the bottom of his heart.

Having been in the crew for such a long time, he is always happy to help no matter who asks him to. He never complains or says anything. He basically does the most work in the crew every day, just like an ant that never complains.

Fatty Wei had kindly gone over to remind Wang Long after seeing him working so hard, saying that there were some jobs he didn't have to do, but Wang Long just smiled naively and said: He is a formal employee of the company and also a part of the company. There is no such thing as work that is not necessary. As long as the crew needs him, he can do any job!

Fatty Wei felt a sense of belonging in Wang Long.

This sense of belonging is very touching.

"Old Wang! In the future, you will be the backbone and veteran of our company. The company will grow bigger and stronger and become one of the top entertainment companies in China. The company will never treat you unfairly. I believe your music will shine in China!" Fatty Wei patted Wang Long on the shoulder and said this to Wang Long very solemnly and emotionally, as if he was brainwashing someone in a pyramid scheme.

"Thank you, Director Wei. I will work hard and I won't let you and Mr. Lu down! You are all my benefactors. I will work hard for the company!"

Wang Long was naturally very excited, so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been in a state of denial, has always had a hard time, and has never received encouragement like this.

Although Fatty Wei's words seemed a little bit false to others, he took it as a kind of approval.

So, I worked harder.

In fact, Lu Yuan was speechless whenever he heard Fatty Wei patting Wang Long on the shoulder and saying such pretentious words.

He felt that Fatty Wei was a complete liar.

It would be a shame not to get involved in pyramid schemes.

If he doesn't spend the rest of his life in jail, he'll have a mountain of gold and silver.

Although Lu Yuan felt that his shell company would probably be disbanded after the filming of "The Wanderer", he did not dismantle Fatty Wei's company.

He wasn't that out of place.

After finishing a day's filming, Lu Yuan and his colleagues packed up the crew's things and headed towards the company.

When he arrived at the company's door, Lu Yuan saw two people standing there again.

Lu Yuan knew these two people.

One is Zheng Jianguo and the other is Zheng Guolong.

Lu Yuan felt a little strange.

What are they doing here?

"Xiao Lu, you're here?"

"Ah, Principal Zheng, Professor Zheng, hello..." Lu Yuan hurriedly came up to the two of them and greeted them with his head slightly lowered.

"Xiao Lu, I see you've been making quite a fuss in the entertainment industry lately." Zheng Guolong teased Lu Yuan.

"Um, this...you guys sit down first. Have you had dinner? If not, I'll ask Lao Wang to make dinner for you. Lao Wang's cooking skills are impeccable..." Lu Yuan scratched his head and quickly changed the subject.

"No rush. By the way, you should know the purpose of our trip." Zheng Guolong smiled, shook his head, sat down and looked at Lu Yuan.

After not seeing Lu Yuan for a few months, he found that Lu Yuan's brows had become more mature, and he was no longer as immature as when he first met him.

It seems that he has indeed changed a lot these days.

"Ah, I don't know..." To be honest, Lu Yuan was very confused.

“You haven’t been following the news online?”

"I don't usually watch the news..." Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Really didn't see it?"

"Really? I've been busy these days and I'm so tired that I basically fall asleep right after I'm done. Is there something big happening online again? Is there no war?"

"Hey, hey, is it a big deal that you were voted by our Yanying students as the lecturer most eager to give lectures at Yanying?" Zheng Guolong looked at Lu Yuan with a kind smile.

"Ah!" Lu Yuan was stunned after hearing this sentence. He was totally confused.

Who is the lecturer most eager to give lectures at Yanying?

I?

Are you sure?

"It seems that you really don't know, Xiao Lu, that you rejected Jianguo's invitation twice. Now I come to invite you in person. I wonder if you will give me a favor. Is my face still worth it?" Zheng Guolong did not play any tricks with Lu Yuan. He knew that Lu Yuan was a bit of a jerk. The more you didn't get to the point, the more he would pretend to be stupid.

This has happened more than once or twice.

"Professor Zheng... Actually, I also want to be a lecturer at Yanying, but I have said it many times that I have nothing in my mind, and it would be a disgrace to Yanying if I go there..." Lu Yuan was speechless. I really don't want to embarrass you all. Why do you want me to go there and give myself away every other day?

It's very uncomfortable.

When Zheng Jianguo saw Lu Yuan refused again, he wanted to say something but was stopped by Zheng Guolong.

"So, even if I come here today to invite you solemnly, you will still reject us Yanying and those students like before?"

"Professor Zheng, I'm Jiang Langcai..."

"I came here to invite you despite my heart condition, not because I want to hear you run out of ideas... I'm tired of hearing them." Zheng Guolong's breathing seemed to become a little rapid.

"This..." Lu Yuan opened his mouth.

He suddenly discovered that Zheng Guolong had a strong aura.

Wait, heart disease?

Lu Yuan was stunned.

"Xiao Lu, I actually don't want to disappoint these kids. Do you understand what I mean?"

“I don’t quite understand…”

"It's okay if you don't quite understand... Ahem, Ahem, Jianguo, it's a bit stuffy here... I shouldn't get sick here, right?"

"Dad, this...how about we go out first?" Zheng Jianguo's face changed slightly after looking at Zheng Guolong's expression.

"I want to go out too, but this requires Xiao Lu's consent... Xiao Lu, you said no, I came here to invite you in person but you refused, then how can I have the face to walk out of this door? In the future, how can I have the face to see those old men, who knows how those old men will laugh at me. Instead of letting them laugh at me, I might as well have a seizure here..." Zheng Guolong's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face quickly turned pale.

"Grandpa, are you...are you okay...should I call 120?"

Lu Yuan was a little scared.

Are you serious?

this……

What the hell is this for...

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! My heart hurts so much! Don't... don't call 120, just contact the funeral home directly!"

Lu Yuan: ...
