However, the biological information found on the envelope, especially the biological information found inside the envelope, was not enough to serve as a don’t know who sent this envelope to Lu Yanhe.
Chen Ziyan said: "From the current situation, first, it is most likely that one of your crazy fans did it, especially those fans who recently insisted on competing for you but were rejected by you in the end. Second, someone around you took advantage of this incident and deliberately sent it to me at this time to release their inner malice towards you."
"Whatever the case, it sounds scary."
"Every artist has experienced this kind of thing, so you don't have to worry too much. Just keep it in mind and be careful." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "Generally speaking, every popular artist will have one or two crazy fans. Chen Bige and Jiang Yuqian have both been hugged by naked people at events."
Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in shock.
He had never heard of this before.
Chen Ziyan: "Huang Kairen was even followed home by a female fan."
Lu Yanhe: "I'll go."
He was a little surprised, "Then why is Li Zhibai so popular? Why has this never happened before?"
He and Li Zhibai have been together day and night for these years. If there is anything true, he will definitely know.
Chen Ziyan said, "You guys have always been in a group and rarely go alone, so those crazy fans don't have a chance to attack you. Plus, Li Zhibai... probably rarely goes to school, right? I heard that he has postponed his graduation this year, so even if others want to do something, they can't find the opportunity. It's well known that you study at Zhenhua University. If you want to know the building number of your dormitory, you can ask on your school forum. It's not difficult. Don't think that this person knows you very well and is right next to you just because he sent the envelope directly to the floor below your dormitory. It's not necessarily the case."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
However, to be on the safe side, Lu Yanhe moved back to Ziyuan Bridge during this period.
Yan Liang joined the group again.
However, Li Zhibai is still there.
He is making preparations now, and once Liu Bige is ready, the filming will start.
Apart from some routine work, Li Zhibai spent most of his time studying the script.
Li Zhibai also invited He Shuyi, the acting teacher who had previously taught Lu Yanhe, to help him study the role bit by bit.
When Lu Yanhe moved back, he became Li Zhibai's sparring partner.
After returning, Li Zhibai often asked Lu Yanhe to help him rehearse his lines.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but say, "You are so hardworking, I feel that this is not your style."
Li Zhibai: "Go away, stop ruining my reputation. Why am I not diligent normally?"
However, Li Zhibai himself felt guilty when he said this.
He knew that he was usually careless in doing many things.
Li Zhibai himself did not expect that he would be so passionate about acting.
But he was too embarrassed to admit that he was really into it. This mentality is just like how many people find it hard to say what they really like. The more they like it, the more embarrassed they are to admit it.
Lu Yanhe saw through Li Zhibai's mentality, but did not expose it.
"However, 'River of Silence' is about to be aired. Why are you so free recently? You don't have to do any promotions?" Li Zhibai was a little surprised.
Lu Yanhe said: "We discussed it and felt that it would be better if I didn't participate in the promotion. Now I have a group of fans, and they have been making trouble, you know?"
"Is it just because of your ranking?" Li Zhibai asked.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"You're so bored." Li Zhibai complained, "You're using the fan circle's tricks to mess up the film and television industry. Is your relationship with Zeng Qiao awkward lately?"
"It's OK, but I've been affected to some extent." Lu Yanhe also admitted frankly, "Let's try our best to prevent any twists and turns in our relationship. However, I think it's difficult to control emotions 100% rationally. Let's wait until this storm is over."
The current situation is that some of Lu Yanhe's fans are madly cursing Zeng Qiao, while some of Zeng Qiao's fans are also madly cursing Lu Yanhe.
The situation of both people was rather awkward, and even the promotion was stopped.
The production team only promoted the drama online, and neither of them showed up.
"Then will the drama River of Silence be affected..." Li Zhibai asked, "Will it be affected?"
"Maybe." Lu Yanhe was also helpless. "Many people are boycotting this drama, saying that they will continue to boycott it unless I am the first actor."
Li Zhibai: "I really have a brain disease and I am too idle."
He clicked his tongue.
Lu Yanhe: "Oh, forget it, don't sigh with me, I hope this rumor will pass quickly."
Li Zhibai: "No, I just suddenly thought of myself. Although the situation is not as serious as yours, it is the same for me. Basically, everyone who cooperates with me is attacked by some of my fans. I am quite embarrassed, but there is nothing I can do. There are always some people who say that I don't stand up and guide my fans. To be honest, if my fans listen to me so easily, I won't say anything. It's just that some people insist on doing some extreme things under the guise of being my fans."
"But no matter what, we must make a clear statement and tell everyone that I do not support those actions, and I do not think their actions are right," Lu Yanhe said firmly.
Li Zhibai: "Are you really not worried about your fans leaving?"
"Well, the thing is, I don't think it's my problem." Lu Yanhe hesitated. "If you really want to stop being a fan, then go ahead. I've been working hard to practice my own values. Moreover, I've also been working hard to improve my professional skills, shoot every scene well, and do every job well. If they insist on making me act like a puppet in their minds and obey their commands to play a perfect idol, then I'm sorry, I will cut off all the strings. I'm not a puppet."
Li Zhibai's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Yanhe with shining eyes.
Lu Yanhe: "Your eyes are shining like light bulbs, what are you doing?"
Li Zhibai: "I want to quote you."
"what?"
"Sent it to my fans." Li Zhibai said, "You are absolutely right. Why should they ask me to play the role of a perfect idol? From the first day of my debut, I have not been catering to their preferences to play a role. Now they are starting to give me advice, telling me whether I like it or not."
Lu Yanhe: "Don't escalate the conflict."
"You just said that we must make our position clear."
"That doesn't mean you can confront them directly."
As soon as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Several people sent him messages at the same time.
Including Chen Ziyan.
Lu Yanhe picked up his phone and looked at it.
The news surprised him a little.
It turned out that one of his fan clubs issued a statement saying that if Lu Yanhe and his team insisted on not fighting for their legitimate rights and interests and ignored the efforts of the fans, they would disband the fan club in three days and would no longer promote any of Lu Yanhe's works.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
The message Chen Ziyan sent was: Don’t respond blindly, wait for my message.
Lu Yanhe handed the phone to Li Zhibai.
Li Zhibai was confused and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You can check the messages first." Lu Yanhe said, "Don't give me your phone, or I won't be able to control myself."
Li Zhibai: "What can't you hold back?"
"I can't help but scold people."
Li Zhibai laughed loudly, "Who was it just now that was telling me not to escalate conflicts and not to offend others casually?"
He looked down at the message on Lu Yanhe's phone.
He was suddenly stunned.
"Fuck! What the hell is this? What's their attitude!" Li Zhibai was instantly furious. "If they want to disband, then disband. Threats are bullshit!"
Lu Yanhe: "...Let's disband if we want to."
"I'm really convinced. They threatened to disband the fan club so that you have to listen to them? Damn, even Zhou Ping'an doesn't dare to threaten me like this." Li Zhibai was furious. "Do they think you rely on their power to get to where you are today? I'm convinced."
Lu Yanhe: "Don't say I was in control and didn't respond. You couldn't control yourself. You should control your temper."
Li Zhibai: "...Okay."
-
The statement from Lu Yanhe's fan club caused a sensation on the entire Internet.
This news can be seen on the hot searches on various platforms.
This was the first time that Lu Yanhe encountered such a large-scale "threat to quit being a fan" incident. Before this, compared with fans of other celebrities, Lu Yanhe's fans had always been relatively quiet, low-key, and not very troublesome.
When this incident came out, no one thought that the ranking issue of "River of Silence" would suddenly turn into such a divisive situation.
Fans "force the palace".
In the industry, Lu Yanhe's attitude has actually been praised by many people.
There are really not many actors like him who are clearly against "fighting for ranking" and "relinquishing ranking".
And given his current position, he is able to do this with a clear stand, which is of great significance.
They also didn't expect that Lu Yanhe's fans would have such strong opinions on this matter.
The aggressive "forced abdication" made other people in the entertainment industry a little stunned and surprised. No one had seen such a situation for a long time.
How will Lu Yanhe respond?
In the entertainment industry, no star - even the top star - can say forcefully that they don't need fans and cut ties with them directly.
Not to mention Lu Yanhe, even Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige couldn't say that.
Fans are the stars’ bread and butter – this is not just talk, it’s true.
-
A new episode of "Young Days" is aired.
Lu Yanhe posted his promotional photos as usual, as if he was not affected or disturbed at all.
However, there were many messages questioning him under his Weibo.
Lu Yanhe just pretended not to see it. However, the voices questioning him became more and more intense.
Chen Ziyan said: "Someone must have seen the situation and is behind the scenes encouraging your fans to cause trouble."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Then should we just not respond?"
"Not responding is a response. It's not just not responding, but also keeping everything as normal." Chen Ziyan said, "The broadcast of "Young Days" is an attitude. After the show is broadcast, I have arranged for several hot searches about you to appear, all focusing on your performance in the show."
Lu Yanhe immediately understood Chen Ziyan's arrangement. "You want me to look like I'm not affected by anything, right?"
"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded. "That's right. If you respond directly, your response will always be used by some people, and then fermented and made into articles that are not our original intention. It is better to use this attitude to explain the problem. After "River of Silence" is broadcast, we will see how the show is broadcast. If it is broadcast well, then the so-called farce that they no longer support you will automatically end. Their support or not will not affect your performance. If it is not broadcast well, there will be a reason. It is just affected by this incident. Of course, judging from the current data, no matter how strong the online public opinion is, there are still many people who are not vocal online who are very interested in this show. At present, the number of people who want to watch and subscribe to it on Bingyuan Video has exceeded 3 million. It is still a hot show that is highly anticipated."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"On this matter, you just need to stick to one attitude. You must believe that those fans who use all kinds of reasons to threaten you to stop following are not your real fans, but just water army." Chen Ziyan said, "You can't say anything like you don't need fans, you don't care about fans, and you can stop being fans if you want. This will make many fans who are not involved in this matter feel sad, even if you have reasons to say so, even if you make up for it afterwards, your words are not directed at them. You must always show your attitude of valuing fans, but you don't want to be threatened by some 'people who love you so much that they try to control you'. You are a human being, not a puppet."
Lu Yanhe completely understood Chen Ziyan's approach to this matter.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Sister Zi Yan, thank you." Under Chen Zi Yan's arrangement, as soon as the latest episode of "Young Days" was broadcast, Lu Yanhe was on three hot searches in succession.
The entries are all arranged in advance.
At the same time, another piece of news arranged by Chen Ziyan was also spread through the marketing account: the movie "Road to Glory" starring Lu Yanhe will be released in the United States and will hit the awards season. The relevant person in charge of the American distribution company Green Valley said that Lu Yanhe's performance in the movie is very outstanding and he will be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award.
This is the award.
Another marketing account released the news: The number of reservations for "River of Silence" at Maxine exceeded expectations. Maxine is discussing the production of the second season with director Chen Lingling's team and plans to invite the original cast to return.
This is the work.
A fashion blogger with millions of fans posted a message: It is said that Lu Yanhe shot the covers of two top Italian fashion magazines during the Venice International Film Festival, both of which were paid for by Math, the brand endorsed by Lu Yanhe.
This is the influence of other areas.
……
News came out one after another, conveying a signal: No matter how fierce the online commotion was or how much the fans made a fuss, Lu Yanhe's work was not affected at all.
In fact, no one thought that this matter would affect Lu Yanhe.
At most, it would just make him a little embarrassed during this period of time.
However, there are always people who daydream.
For example, Chen Ziliang.
He was gloating a bit, and asked: "After all this incident, will Lu Yanhe have fewer fans?"
Chen Ziliang's agent Yan Wei looked at his almost innocent expression of gloating and sighed silently in his heart.
In the past two years, Chen Ziliang's luck can be described as "unlucky".
Nothing I do works. It seems like all my good luck from those first few years since my debut has been used up.
Yan Wei said: "Lu Yanhe may have fewer fans, but it will hardly affect him."
"The number of fans has decreased, but it has almost no impact on him?" Chen Ziliang looked at his agent in disbelief, as if his agent was fooling him.
Yan Wei: "Because Lu Yanhe has never been an artist who relies on fans to gain a foothold. His biggest base is not fans, but national popularity and popularity among passers-by."
When Yan Wei said this, he was also very depressed.
If it were not for this, a successful artist like Lu Yanhe would have been dug up by countless management companies over and over again about his growth experience and created countless "little Lu Yanhe".
Chen Ziliang's gloating mood was greatly hit.
Yan Wei said: "Ziliang, don't look at Lu Yanhe now. We have to find a way first and then make a good work again so that everyone can accept you."
Chen Ziliang: "Do you think I don't want to? I was even ready to act in an art film, but Director Yu Qin refused to film it again, didn't she?"
Yan Wei thought, that’s because Ning Xiu Lian disliked you.
"I've enrolled you in an acting training class, and you'll have to attend classes once a week," Yan Wei said.
Chen Ziliang frowned immediately.
"Isn't this necessary? I'm busy enough on weekdays, and you still want me to go to training classes?"
"Do you still want to continue acting and get scolded?" Yan Wei asked.
Chen Ziliang: "I was criticized for my acting, but that's not my fault. I didn't come from a professional background. Even if I go to an acting training class now, does that mean my acting won't be criticized?"
Yan Wei: "If you don't improve, won't you be scolded all the time?"
Chen Ziliang frowned and said nothing.
After a while, he said, "Can't you hire an acting teacher for me? It would be too embarrassing for me to go to class with others."
Yan Wei sighed inwardly.
Chen Ziliang is really lucky. He has never experienced a dormant period, nor has he experienced the torment of working his way up from the bottom.
Even though his reputation has suffered now, he still has a lot of fame and popularity. If possible, he can still make some bad movies, participate in some fast-food activities, and make money easily. Not to mention, he has the support of Ruyi Pictures. Although his acting skills are just like that and he has been ridiculed for who knows how long, he still has a lot of choices for Ruyi Pictures' projects.
Yan Wei wanted Chen Ziliang to realize the importance of business ability. He always felt that Chen Ziliang didn't understand because he had too little experience. But after a few times, Yan Wei felt that it was not that Chen Ziliang didn't understand the importance of business ability, but that he didn't want to endure hardships, let alone spend time and effort. He won the support of fans before, and it was too easy, and he didn't think he needed to work hard to be liked by others.
But this is a weird world.
Many hardworking and talented people can never come out and are not liked by others. However, many lazy and empty-headed idiots can be packaged and operated into highly popular idols.
Even an artist like Lu Yanhe, who has no shortcomings in the eyes of his agent, is now in such trouble.
It doesn't make sense, I'm totally lost, there's no way to explain it, and I can only accept it. This is a weird world where nothing is surprising no matter what happens.

Under the "high attention of the public", "River of Silence" was launched.
It is a web drama, not a TV series, and it is not broadcast on TV stations, so there is no such thing as ratings.
During this period of time, due to the sensational incident between Lu Yanhe and his fans, the drama "River of Silence" has also attracted a lot of attention.
It is a new work directed by Chen Lingling, and starred by two popular actors Zeng Qiao and Lu Yanhe. Judging from the configuration, as long as the quality of this drama is up to standard, it will not fail. At most, the reputation is not good, but the popularity and data are definitely not bad.
As soon as the first episode of this drama was aired, there were as many as eight opening advertisements, which is enough to show how optimistic advertisers are about this drama.
This also presents a situation where it seems that no matter how much the fans who are dissatisfied with Lu Yanhe's ranking make a fuss, it will not affect the broadcast of the show.
-
On the night of the premiere, Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai watched the premiere together in the house at Ziyuan Bridge.
They turned on the projector and sat in the living room to watch it.
The first episode will be aired at 8pm.
The show starts airing at 8pm on Friday night, and it seems to be focusing on the concept of "prime time", but in fact it is to coordinate with Maxine's online time.
Maxine came online an hour ago, which is just the right time for everyone to finish watching the first episode and for the first wave of audience comments to come out.
Bingyuan Video is obviously very optimistic about the reputation and audience quality of the drama "River of Silence" and wants to use Maxine's playback performance to build momentum.
Li Zhibai came over with a plate of braised chicken wings and lotus root slices, sat down cross-legged, and said to Lu Yanhe, "You are really amazing. Another weekly drama, and it only has eight episodes, and it was finished in one month."
Lu Yanhe: "What's so great about this?"
"It's a short series and it's broadcast weekly. So far, you're the only one in China who can make this kind of series a big hit." Li Zhibai said, "There are many platforms and companies making this kind of short series now, but there are almost no ones that can really make it and make a profit. Advertisements can't be sold at a high price, and the actors' salaries are high. The broadcast time is short, and weekly broadcasts can't sustain the broadcast volume. Many viewers will abandon the show midway... Anyway, you're the only one who can really make this kind of series a big hit and make a lot of money. This is what Lin Suyang told me."
Lu Yanhe: "Sister Zi Yan didn't tell me."
"No need to tell you." Li Zhibai clicked his tongue twice, "Awesome."
Lu Yanhe glanced at him and said, "I'm not very nervous. You don't have to comfort me or encourage me in various ways."
Li Zhibai: "...you think too much, I don't have such an idea."
"Oh."
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, "River of Silence" was launched on time.
-
Suspense and crime dramas have always been a popular theme, especially in recent years.
Some people even say that they are almost sick of watching this type of drama in recent years.
Because there are too many.
Despite this, there are still a large number of fans of this subject who wait for the show to go online on time.
Chen Lingling herself is a very experienced director.
At the beginning of the series, Lu Yanhe appears.
The ordinary man he plays starts an ordinary day, advancing the character in a short and quick manner, and then, at the fifteenth minute of the first episode, the story enters the main plot.
Lu Yanhe heard about a murder case from his colleagues, and everyone was in a state of panic. Lu Yanhe was somewhat shocked by the news, but at the same time, he could still eat the buns normally because it was just a piece of news and it didn't really happen to him.
Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, a sound of footsteps was heard.
Several policemen led by Zeng Qiao appeared.
When they took out their ID cards and wanted to ask Lu Yanhe to go with them, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.
So is Lu Yanhe himself.
Although the police did not say he was a suspect, his sudden appearance at this time made no one think that he had nothing to do with the case.
He stood there stupidly for a long time, and when the police were about to take him away, he suddenly seemed to react and questioned them fiercely, asking them why they were taking him away. His angry, excited, and unbelievable reactions ignited the first climax of the play.
At this time, everyone was looking at him.
The policeman's eyes were silent, scrutinizing and complicated.
My colleagues looked confused, astonished and frightened.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were frozen into a silent, moving oil painting.
From this moment on, Lu Yanhe in the play began his irretrievable fate as a criminal suspect.
Zeng Qiao emphasized that they only found out that Lu Yanhe might be related to this case, so they asked Lu Yanhe to go with him.
Zeng Qiao comforted him and told him that he could come back after understanding the situation.
Afterwards, Lu Yanhe was taken away for some communication.
This scene is very long, with more than ten pages of dialogue in the script alone. If it were filmed like this, it would definitely be boring and tedious. Chen Lingling also filmed many of the nostalgic contents in it.
So, the scene became a continuous replay of the scene at that time in the form of flashbacks as Lu Yanhe narrated.
Zeng Qiao and Lu Yanhe asked and answered each other.
In the last twenty minutes of the first episode, the reason why Lu Yanhe became a criminal suspect is outlined in front of the audience through questions and answers between the two people and flashbacks.
At the end of the first episode, Lu Yanhe finished cooperating with the investigation and was sent out by Zeng Qiao.
Lu Yanhe could still see Zeng Qiao's suspicion of him in his eyes.
Lu Yanhe clenched his teeth expressionlessly.
When Lu Yanhe returned to the company, he found that every colleague looked at him with confusion and a little nervousness that they themselves might not be aware of.
The first episode ends at this point.
"It's great." Li Zhibai said immediately, "This drama will be a hit."
He asked again: "Are you the murderer?"
Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe seriously and asked.
Lu Yanhe: "Just follow the drama yourself. I won't spoil it for you."
"That's too much, our relationship is like this." (End of this chapter)
