Chapter 469

However, the biological information found on the envelope, especially the biological information that could be found inside the envelope, could not find anything sufficient to be used as a clue.

I don't know who sent this envelope to Lu Yan He.

Chen Ziyan said: "From the current situation, first, it is highly likely that one of your crazy fans did it, especially the few fans who recently insisted on fighting for the first lead for you but were finally rejected by you. Second, someone around you used this matter to deliberately send it at this time to release the malice in their heart towards you."

"No matter which situation, it sounds quite creepy."

"This kind of thing, basically every artist has experienced it, so you don't have to worry too much, take it to heart, and just pay attention." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yan He, "Generally speaking, every popular artist will have one or two very crazy fans. Chen Bige and Jiang Yuqian have both appeared at event sites and were hugged by people rushing up naked."

Lu Yan He looked at Chen Ziyan in shock.

He hadn't heard of this before.

Chen Ziyan: "Huang Kai was even followed home by a female fan."

Lu Yan He: "Damn."

He was a bit surprised, "Then why is Li Zhibai so popular, how come this situation hasn't appeared?"

He and Li Zhibai have been together day and night for these years. If there was really anything, he would definitely know.

Chen Ziyan said: "You have always been active as a group before and rarely were alone, so those crazy fans didn't have a chance to take action. Plus, Li Zhibai... he should rarely go to school, right? I heard that he even delayed his graduation this year. Even if others wanted to do something, they couldn't find the opportunity. It is well known that you are studying at Zhenhua University. If you want to know the building number of your dormitory, you can just ask on your school forum, it's not difficult. Don't look at this person sending the envelope directly downstairs to your dormitory, as if he knows you very well and is right by your side; it's not necessarily the case."

Lu Yan He nodded.

However, for the sake of safety, Lu Yan He still moved back to Huiziyuanqiao during this period.

Yan Liang joined the crew again.

However, Li Zhibai was still there.

Now he has been preparing, and when Liu Bige is ready, the film will start shooting.

During this period, besides some routine work, Li Zhibai spent most of his time studying the script.

Li Zhibai also invited He Shuyi, the acting teacher who had taught Lu Yan He before, to take him to study the character bit by bit.

Once Lu Yan He moved back, he became Li Zhibai's sparring partner.

Li Zhibai often grabbed Lu Yan He to help him with his lines after coming back.

Lu Yan He couldn't help but say: "You are so diligent, I feel like it's not your style."

Li Zhibai: "Get out, get out, get out, stop ruining my reputation. Why am I not diligent usually?"

However, Li Zhibai himself felt guilty when he said this.

He knew that he was usually sloppy in doing many things.

Li Zhibai himself didn't expect that he would be so enthusiastic about acting.

But he was embarrassed to admit that he was very enthusiastic. This kind of mentality is like how many people actually find it hard to say what they really like. The more they like it, the more embarrassed they are to admit it.

Lu Yan He saw Li Zhibai's psychology and didn't expose it.

"However, *River of Silence* is about to be broadcast soon, why are you so free recently, don't you need to run for promotion?" Li Zhibai was a bit surprised.

Lu Yan He said: "We discussed it and felt that it is better for me not to participate in the promotion. I have a group of fans now, they have been making trouble, you know, right?"

"Just for that billing thing, right?" Li Zhibai asked.

Lu Yan He nodded.

"Really idle." Li Zhibai complained, "Using that fan circle set in the film and television circle, making it a mess. Is your relationship with Ceng Qiao quite awkward recently?"

"It's okay, but it's more or less affected." Lu Yan He also frankly admitted, "We both still try not to let twists and turns appear in our relationship, but emotions are something that I think is quite difficult to be 100% controlled by one's own rationality. Let's wait for this wave of turmoil to pass."

The current situation is that a part of Lu Yan He's fans are frantically scolding Ceng Qiao, while a part of Ceng Qiao's fans are frantically scolding Lu Yan He.

Both of them are in a relatively awkward situation, and even the promotion has been stopped directly.

The crew only does promotion online, and neither of them appears.

"Then this drama *River of Silence*..." Li Zhibai asked, "Will it be affected?"

"It might be." Lu Yan He was also very helpless, "Many people are boycotting this drama, saying that if the first lead is not changed to me, they will continue to boycott it."

Li Zhibai: "Really sick and idle."

He clicked his tongue.

Lu Yan He: "Sigh, forget it, don't sigh with me, I hope this wind passes quickly."

Li Zhibai: "No, I just suddenly thought of myself. Although the situation is not as serious as yours, I am the same. Basically, people who cooperate with me will be attacked by some of my fans. I feel quite embarrassed, but there is no way. There are always some people who insist on doing extreme things under the banner of being my fan."

"However, no matter what, we must express our position clearly and tell everyone that I don't support those behaviors, and I don't think their behaviors are right." Lu Yan He said firmly.

Li Zhibai: "Are you really not worried about fans leaving?"

"Uh, but the problem is, I don't think this is my problem." Lu Yan He hesitated for a moment, "If they really want to leave, let them leave. I have been working hard to practice my own values, and I have also been working hard to improve my professional ability, shoot every scene well, and do every job well. If you have to make me like a puppet in their hearts, listen to their commands and play a perfect idol, then sorry, I will cut off those puppet strings one by one. I am not a puppet."

Li Zhibai's eyes widened, looking at Lu Yan He as if they were shining.

Lu Yan He: "Your eyes are shining like light bulbs, what are you doing?"

Li Zhibai: "I want to quote your words."

"Ah?"

"Send it to those fans of mine to see." Li Zhibai said, "You are so right. Why do they let me play a perfect idol! I haven't been playing a persona to cater to their likes since the first day I debuted. Now they start pointing fingers, love it or not."

Lu Yan He: "Don't intensify the conflict."

"You just said that you must clearly state your attitude."

"That doesn't mean you should go and confront them directly."

Just after Lu Yan He finished saying these words, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Several people sent him messages at the same time.

Including Chen Ziyan.

Lu Yan He picked up his phone and looked.

The message surprised him a bit.

It turned out that one of his fan support groups issued a statement saying that if Lu Yan He and his team insisted on not fighting for their legitimate rights and ignored the efforts of the fans, they would disband the fan support group in three days and would no longer carry out promotional activities for any of Lu Yan He's works.

Lu Yan He took a deep breath.

The message Chen Ziyan sent was: Don't respond blindly, wait for my news.

Lu Yan He handed his phone to Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai was confused and asked: "What for?"

"You can look at the message first." Lu Yan He said, "Don't give the phone to me, otherwise I won't be able to help it."

Li Zhibai: "Can't help what?"

"Can't help confronting people."

Li Zhibai let out a loud laugh, "Who was just lecturing me, telling me not to intensify the conflict and not to confront people casually."

He looked down at the information on Lu Yan He's phone.

He was suddenly stunned.

"Damn! What the hell is this, what kind of attitude!" Li Zhibai was instantly angry, "If they want to disband, let them disband, threatening is bullshit!"

Lu Yan He: "... If they want to disband, let them disband."

"I'm really convinced, using the disbandment of the support group to threaten you to listen to them? Damn, even Zhou Ping'an wouldn't dare to threaten me like this." Li Zhibai was angry and furious, "Do they think you reached this position today because of their power? Convinced."

Lu Yan He: "Don't, I controlled myself not to respond, you didn't control yourself, you control your temper."

Li Zhibai: "... Okay then."

The statement of Lu Yan He's fan support group caused a huge sensation on the whole internet.

This news can be seen on the hot searches of various platforms.

This is the first time Lu Yan He has encountered such a large-scale fan "threat to leave" incident. Before this, compared with the fans of other star artists, Lu Yan He's fans have always been relatively quiet, low-key, and not prone to trouble.

When this matter popped up, no one expected that it would suddenly evolve into such a torn situation because of the billing of *River of Silence*.

Fans "forcing the palace."

In the industry, Lu Yan He's attitude has actually been praised by many people.

There are really not many actors like him who clearly oppose "fighting for billing" and "withdrawing billing."

And with his current status, being able to clearly do this is of great significance.

They also didn't expect that Lu Yan He's fans would have such a big opinion on this matter.

The aggressive "forcing the palace" made other people in the entertainment industry a bit stunned and surprised. Everyone hasn't seen such a situation for a long time.

How will Lu Yan He respond?

In the entertainment industry, no star—even a top star—can strongly say that they don't need fans and cut ties with fans directly.

Let alone Lu Yan He, even Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige couldn't say that.

Fans are the parents of stars—this is not just talk, it's true.

A new episode of *Young Days* was broadcast.

Lu Yan He posted his promotional photos as usual, as if he hadn't been affected or disturbed at all.

However, a lot of content questioning him appeared under his Weibo.

Lu Yan He just pretended not to see it. However, the voices questioning him became more and more intense.

Chen Ziyan said: "Now someone must have seen this situation and entered the game, organizing and instigating your fans to make trouble behind the scenes."

Lu Yan He asked: "Then we just don't respond like this?"

"Not responding is a kind of response. Not only not responding, but everything must be as usual." Chen Ziyan said, "The broadcast of *Young Days* is an attitude. After the program is broadcast, I have arranged several hot searches about you, all focusing on your performance in the program."

Lu Yan He immediately understood Chen Ziyan's arrangement, "You want me to look unaffected, right?"

"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded, "That's it. Direct response, your response will always be used by some people, and then fermented to make articles that are not our original intention. It is better to use this attitude to explain the problem. After *River of Silence* starts broadcasting, we will see how this drama is broadcast. If it is broadcast well, then the farce that they no longer support you will automatically end. Whether they support you or not will not affect your results. If it is not broadcast well, then there is a reason, and this matter is just an influence. Of course, from the current data, even if the public opinion on the internet is loud, there are still many people who don't speak on the internet who are very interested in this drama. Currently, its want-to-see and subscription numbers on Bingyuan Video have exceeded three million, and it is still a highly anticipated hot drama."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"On this matter, you just need to maintain one attitude. Those fans who threaten you to leave for various reasons, you believe that they are not your real fans, but water army." Chen Ziyan said, "You cannot say anything like you don't need fans, you don't care about fans, or if they want to leave, let them leave. This will make many fans who didn't participate in this matter feel sad, even if you have reasons to say so, even if you make up for it later, these words of yours are not targeting them. You must show an attitude of valuing fans at all times, but you are not willing to be threatened by some 'people who love you so much that they try to control you.' You are a human, not a puppet."

Lu Yan He completely understood Chen Ziyan's handling idea on this matter.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Yan He nodded and said: "Sister Ziyan, thank you."

Under Chen Ziyan's arrangement, as soon as the latest episode of *Young Days* was broadcast, Lu Yan He was on three hot searches in a row.

The entries were all arranged in advance.

At the same time, another message arranged by Chen Ziyan was also spread through the mouths of marketing accounts: The film *Road to Glory* starring Lu Yan He will be released in the United States and impact the awards season. The person in charge of the American distribution company Green Valley stated that Lu Yan He's performance in the film is very outstanding and will apply for the Best Supporting Actor award for him.

This is an award.

Another marketing account released news: The number of reservations for *River of Silence* on Maxine exceeded expectations, and Maxine is negotiating with director Chen Lingling's team about the production of the second season, planning to invite the original cast to return.

This is a work.

A fashion blogger with millions of fans released news: It is said that during the Venice International Film Festival, Lu Yan He shot the covers of two first-line Italian fashion magazines, all paid for by the brand Math that Lu Yan He endorses.

This is influence in other fields.

One message after another was released, conveying a signal: even if the internet is noisy, even if the fans are noisy, Lu Yan He's work has not been affected at all.

In fact, no one really felt that this little thing would affect Lu Yan He.

At most, it just made him look a bit embarrassed during this time.

However, there are always people daydreaming.

For example, Chen Ziliang.

He was a bit gloating and asked: "After this trouble, will Lu Yan He's fans become much fewer?"

Chen Ziliang's agent Yan Wei looked at his almost naive gloating and sighed silently in his heart.

Over the past two years, Chen Ziliang can be described by the four words "unlucky year."

Nothing he does works, as if all the good luck of the first few years of his debut has been used up.

Yan Wei said: "Lu Yan He's fans may become fewer, but it has almost no effect on him."

"The fans have become fewer, and it still has almost no effect on him?" Chen Ziliang looked at his agent in disbelief, as if his agent was fooling him.

Yan Wei: "Because Lu Yan He has never been an artist who relies on fans to stand firm. His biggest foundation is not fans, but national popularity and passerby favor."

When Yan Wei said this, he was also very depressed in his heart.

If it weren't for this, an artist as successful as Lu Yan He would have long been dug up by who knows how many brokerage companies to copy his growth experience and copy how many "little Lu Yanhes."

Chen Ziliang's gloating mood was hit hard.

Yan Wei said: "Ziliang, don't look at Lu Yan He now. We have to find a way to make a good work again so that everyone can accept you."

Chen Ziliang: "Do you think I don't want to? I'm even prepared to act in art-house films, isn't it because director Yu Qin refuses to shoot again?"

Yan Wei thought to himself, that's because you were disliked by Ning Xiulian.

"I signed you up for an acting training class, and you go to class once a week." Yan Wei said.

Chen Ziliang immediately frowned.

"Is this necessary? I'm busy enough usually, and you still let me go to a training class?"

"Do you still want to be scolded for acting?" Yan Wei asked.

Chen Ziliang: "I'm scolded for acting, that can't be blamed on me. I'm not from a professional background. Even if I go to an acting training class now, can my acting skills not be scolded?"

Yan Wei: "If you don't improve, won't you always be scolded?"

Chen Ziliang frowned and didn't speak.

After a while, he said: "Can't you just hire an acting teacher alone? You let me go to class with others, that's too embarrassing."

Yan Wei sighed in his heart.

Chen Ziliang is really too lucky. He has never experienced a dormant period, nor has he experienced the suffering of fighting from the bottom.

Even if his reputation is frustrated now, he still has great fame and popularity. If he can, he can still shoot some crappy movies, participate in some fast-food activities, and earn money easily. Not to mention, he also has the strong support of Ruyi Film. Although his acting level is just like that, and he has been mocked for who knows how long, he still has choices for Ruyi Film's projects.

Yan Wei wanted to make Chen Ziliang realize the importance of professional ability. He always felt that Chen Ziliang just didn't understand because he had experienced too little. But after a few times, Yan Wei felt again that it was not that Chen Ziliang didn't understand the importance of professional ability, but that he didn't want to suffer, and even less wanted to spend effort and energy. He won the support of fans too easily before, and didn't think that he needed to work hard to get others to like him.

Unfortunately, this is a paradoxical world.

Many hardworking and talented people can't come out no matter what and can't get others to like them. And many lazy and empty-headed straw bags can be packaged and operated into a high-popularity idol.

Even an artist like Lu Yan He, who has no shortcomings in the eyes of their agents, will now fall into such trouble.

It makes no sense, completely at a loss, impossible to explain, can only accept, this is a paradoxical world where nothing is strange no matter what happens.

Under the "attention of all," *River of Silence* started broadcasting.

It is a web drama, not a TV drama, not broadcast on TV stations, so there is no such thing as ratings.

During this time, because of the noisy things between Lu Yan He and his fans, this drama *River of Silence* has also received a lot of attention.

It is director Chen Lingling's new work, and it stars two big popular actors, Ceng Qiao and Lu Yan He. From the configuration, as long as the quality of this drama is passable, it will not flop. At most, the reputation is not good, but the heat and data will definitely not be bad.

And this drama, as soon as the first episode started broadcasting, there were as many as eight opening advertisements, which is enough to see how much advertisers favor this drama.

This also presents a state, it seems that no matter how noisy those fans who are dissatisfied with Lu Yan He's billing are, it does not affect the broadcast of this drama.

On the night of the broadcast, Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai watched the premiere together at the house in Huiziyuanqiao.

They opened the projector and sat in the living room to watch.

The broadcast time for the first episode was 8:00 PM.

Broadcasting at 8:00 PM on Friday, it seems to be playing the concept of "golden slot," but in fact, it is to match Maxine's launch time.

Maxine launched an hour ago. At this time, it is just when everyone can finish watching the first episode, and the first wave of audience comments comes out.

Bingyuan Video is obviously very optimistic about the reputation and audience quality of *River of Silence*, wanting to use Maxine's broadcast results to build momentum.

Li Zhibai came over with a plate of braised chicken wings and lotus root slices, sat cross-legged, and said to Lu Yan He: "You are really amazing, another weekly drama, and only eight episodes, finishing in a month."

Lu Yan He: "What's so amazing about this."

"It's a short drama and a weekly drama. Up to now, you are the only one in China who can make this form into a big hit drama." Li Zhibai said, "Now there are quite a few platforms and companies doing this kind of short drama, but there are almost none that can really be done and profitable. The advertisements can't be sold at a high price, the actors' pay is high, the broadcast time is short, and doing weekly broadcast can't continue the playback volume. Many audiences will abandon the drama halfway... Anyway, you are the only one who can make this kind of drama a big hit and make a lot of money. Lin Suyang told me this."

Lu Yan He: "Sister Ziyan didn't tell me."

"No need to tell you." Li Zhibai clicked his tongue twice, "Awesome."

Lu Yan He looked at him sideways and said: "I'm not very nervous, you don't have to comfort me and cheer me up in different ways."

Li Zhibai: "... You think too much, I don't have such thoughts."

"Oh."

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, *River of Silence* went online on time.

Suspense crime type dramas have always been a popular drama theme, especially in recent years.

Even, some people say that they are almost vomiting from watching this type of drama in recent years.

Because there are really too many.

Despite this, there are still a large number of enthusiasts of this theme who are squatting on the launch of this drama on time.

Chen Lingling herself is a very experienced director.

At the beginning of the drama, it was Lu Yan He's appearance.

The ordinary person he played started an ordinary day, pushing the character in a short, flat, and fast way, and then, at the 15th minute of the first episode, the story entered the main line.

Lu Yan He heard about a murder case from his colleagues, and everyone was panicked. Lu Yan He was surprised by this news on one hand, and on the other hand, because it was just a piece of news and didn't really happen around him, he could still eat the bun in his hand normally.

Just when everyone was discussing, suddenly, a sound of footsteps came.

Several police officers led by Ceng Qiao appeared.

When they took out their credentials and wanted to ask Lu Yan He to go with them, everyone showed an unbelievable expression.

Lu Yan He himself was too.

Although the police didn't say he was a criminal suspect, appearing suddenly at this time, no one would think he had nothing to do with this case.

He was stupid in place, stunned for a long time, and when the police wanted to come up and take him away, he suddenly reacted as if, and questioned fiercely, asking them why they wanted to take him away. His angry, excited, and unbelievable reactions ignited the first climax of this drama.

At this time, everyone was looking at him.

The police's eyes were silent, examining, and complex.

The colleagues' eyes were suspicious, stunned, and fearful.

Everyone's eyes solidified into a silent, moving oil painting at this moment.

Lu Yan He in the drama started his doom as a criminal suspect from this moment.

Ceng Qiao emphasized that they only investigated that Lu Yan He might be related to this case, so they asked Lu Yan He to go with him.

Ceng Qiao comforted him, saying that after understanding the situation, he could come back.

Subsequently, Lu Yan He was taken away and communicated.

This scene was very long, and the lines in the script alone were more than ten pages. If it was shot like this, it would definitely be boring and dull. Chen Lingling shot many of the retrospective contents into pictures.

Thus, this scene became a scene that constantly appeared in the form of memories with Lu Yan He's narration.

Ceng Qiao and Lu Yan He asked and answered each other.

In the last twenty minutes of the first episode, why Lu Yan He became a criminal suspect was outlined in front of the audience through the questions and answers and memory pictures of the two.

The end of the first episode was Lu Yan He finishing his cooperation with the investigation and being sent out by Ceng Qiao.

Lu Yan He could still see his suspicion of him from Ceng Qiao's eyes.

Lu Yan He clenched his teeth expressionlessly.

Lu Yan He, who returned to the company, found that everyone's eyes on him contained suspicion and a little tension that they might not have realized themselves.

The first episode ended at this time.

"Good-looking." Li Zhibai said immediately, "This drama will explode."

He asked again: "Are you the murderer?"

Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yan He seriously and asked.

Lu Yan He: "Chase the drama yourself, I won't spoil it."

"Too much, our relationship." ===== CHAPTER 470 =====
