A top-tier male star is suspected of having mental problems and recently developed disordered facial expressions due to facial nerve disorder!
When the team of famous paparazzi Zhou Shuchun reported this news, they did not mention the name of the male star. However, from the descriptive words they used for the male star and related content, we can basically identify who it directionality is too clear.
Chen Ziyan directly denied: "Lu Yanhe did not have facial nerve disorder. I don't know who Zhou Shuchun and others reported on, but it was not Lu Yanhe."
Someone asked: "But didn't Lu Yanhe lose control of his expression when he met Lily Welton at the Jose-Simonian Film Festival just now?"
"It's just an out-of-control expression. Who among us hasn't had an out-of-control expression? Do you know what facial nerve disorder means? It means you can't control your facial muscles at all. Yan He came back from Jose and you took pictures of him at the airport. Can't you tell whether his face is normal or not?"
Although Chen Ziyan denied this matter very clearly, it is still spreading like a virus.
Lu Yanhe's facial nerve disorder even became a hot topic on the search list.
However, when thousands of people left messages on Zhou Shuchun's Weibo, asking whether the person they had exposed was Lu Yanhe, Zhou Shuchun played dead and did not respond, allowing the heat and discussion to ferment.
Chen Ziyan contacted Lu Yanhe and asked him if he wanted to make a response online.
"Zhou Shuchun must have heard some news, but his news was wrong. He was basically just making wild guesses, and ended up saying things like you had facial nerve disorder." Chen Ziyan said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so timid as to say that this person was you."
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "It's not certain that anyone will believe my text response. Otherwise, I can start a live broadcast and chat with everyone. Then everyone can see my expression directly."
Chen Ziyan: "Live broadcast... Is there any risk? After all, you are under too much pressure and may show some strange expressions."
Lu Yanhe: "Oh, I feel so miserable. If I could feel that I have a problem, I wouldn't be so depressed. I would know where the problem is and treat it accordingly. But now I feel that I have no problem, but the doctor told me with the test results that I am under a lot of pressure. I can't deny it even if I want to."
"It's okay. To put it bluntly, I've put too much pressure on you in the past one or two months. If you weren't the director of Love Letter, I don't think there would be this problem." Chen Ziyan said frankly, "I'm not worried about you in the future, but I think we should be a little careful during this period of time. Otherwise, if Zhou Shuchun's revelations mess things up, people will really think you have a facial nerve disorder."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Then I-"
"I know how to respond." Chen Ziyan said, "It's okay, Yan He, don't worry about this matter, leave it to me."
Lu Yanhe didn't expect Chen Ziyan to suddenly come up with a solution. Curious, he asked, "Sister Ziyan, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ziyan said: "I directly forwarded Zhou Shuchun's Weibo and asked him if the male celebrity with facial nerve disorder was Lu Yanhe?"
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"What if he insists on saying yes?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Ziyan sneered: "Are your facial nerves out of whack? If he dares to say yes, I will sue him for spreading rumors!"
Lu Yanhe heard a murderous aura in Chen Ziyan's tone.
"Also, Yan He—" Chen Ziyan asked, "Why don't we move the summer filming of Love Letter to next year? You've been under a lot of pressure recently, take a break. Anyway, we invested in this drama ourselves, so we can afford it. The worst that can happen is that we'll lose some money, which is not a big deal."
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Zi Yan, I've thought about this too. However, Zhang Ruozhi will be a senior in high school next summer. If we postpone the filming to next summer, it will delay her exam preparations. Don't worry, Sister Zi Yan. I'll be fine. For the next two months, apart from attending classes and preparing for Love Letter, I'll put everything else aside and not worry about it."
Chen Ziyan: "Well, okay, this is the only way."
Ten minutes later.
Chen Ziyan reposted Zhou Shuchun's revelation on Weibo and asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, is your much-anticipated revelation referring to Yan He? If so, please come out and name him openly, instead of stirring up trouble like a troublemaker."
Chen Ziyan's tough attitude was like a drop of cold water poured onto the carnival.
Originally, many people really thought that something had happened to Lu Yanhe.
Since Chen Ziyan dares to be so tough, it means that this person is definitely not Lu Yanhe.
Chen Ziliang curled his lips, put down his phone, and looked disappointed.
"Why didn't he just ruin his face? He won't be able to act in the future."
The movie "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" was released, and Chen Ziliang, as one of the male protagonists, has been on the roadshow.
However, the film's box office revenue was halved from 3400 million on Friday and 4200 million on Saturday to only 1300 million on Sunday.
There was a wave of bad reviews.
Fans of the original novel kept cursing.
The original author Liu Jiazhen said nothing.
Media reviews were also full of irony.
It was not easy for Chen Ziliang to star in a movie that grossed over 100 million yuan, but as a result, the bad reviews of the movie surrounded him like a cloud of smoke.
From the second season of "Friends" at the end of last year to this "19 Years of Crime", Chen Ziliang's two consecutive works have received rave reviews.
Some people even asked: Who is promoting Chen Ziliang as an actor?
From what he said, it seems that Chen Ziliang is really lame.
Due to such bad reviews, Chen Ziliang has not received any new high-quality business in the past six months. All of them are fast-moving consumer goods brands that came to him because of his popularity and buzz.
Chen Ziliang couldn't help but feel disgusted. If he rejected all of them, how would he get the money to support his team and maintain his own data?
A first-tier artist like him has a team of seven or eight people, from drivers to assistants, from nutritionists to bodyguards, and the total salary of these people is two to three million. And he also has to buy marketing and data for himself. Whether it is the clothes he wears when he goes out or the style he usually maintains, he needs money to maintain it.
He is different from Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe's publicity and marketing expenses can basically be covered by the work's party. In addition, he is naturally exposed enough in normal times. The expenses Chen Ziyan invests in him are basically public relations expenses, as well as some expenses that need to be handled when rumors like "facial paralysis" appear.
What Chen Ziliang hates most is that everyone would use Lu Yanhe's acting skills to make fun of his own acting skills.
He is not an actor and he has been working very hard to improve his acting skills, so why are they so strict with him?
Is his acting really that bad?
Some fans also defended him in this way, but at this time, someone jumped out and said that Lu Yanhe was not an actor either.
Is the fact that you are not an actor a reason why you can’t act well?
If you can't act well, then you shouldn't be an actor?
Just keep doing your avant-garde music! Isn't it because you couldn't make it in avant-garde music that you decided to become an actor?
Words like these turned into spears and arrows, piercing his heart.
If there was no Lu Yanhe, his situation would be much better, right?
Putting aside his prejudice against Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziliang sometimes thought so.
"Yin Xincheng was finally cast in the drama 'Flower Scene'," his agent Yan Wei told him, "They said that if we are willing to act, they can give us the second male lead."
Chen Ziliang frowned, "The second male lead? Are they kidding me?"
"I said so too. No matter what, the second season of Friends has done so well, and the box office of 19 Years of Crime is about to break 100 million. The data is so good, which proves that you have appeal and a base. Why should you let us play the second male lead?" Yan Wei was also indignant, "It's not like there is no first male lead."
Chen Ziliang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are there any S-level movies that want me to play the leading male role?"
Yan Wei was stunned for a moment before he said, "Not yet. There are not many S-level projects on the platform right now."
Chen Ziliang said: "'Flower Scenery' is S-level, right?"
"It is currently being produced at the A level," Yan Wei said, "If we can find a first-line actress to play the female lead, then it can be made S-level."
The rating of a project is not static. Many scripts may not even be rated A at the beginning, but as long as an actor who is considered capable of carrying the show joins the cast and becomes the lead actor, the rating will immediately become S-level.
Although Chen Ziliang now has the title of a first-line star, in the eyes of the platform, he is not the kind of actor who can "carry the show".
For S-level projects, it is basically impossible to consider him as the leading actor.
Unless there is another actor who is considered to be able to carry the show who supports him.
Yan Wei said: "In fact, if Lu Yanhe really has facial paralysis and can no longer act in a short period of time, then he will have to give up some of his projects. The second male lead in "Burning Fire", the male lead in this movie, and even his role in the second part of "Seventeen Floors" may have to be replaced by another actor."
These projects are all very good pie in the sky for other male actors. Any one of them will lead to a fierce competition.
Chen Ziliang said: "It's not impossible to play the second male lead in "Flower Scenery"."
"Huh?" Yan Wei looked at Chen Ziliang in surprise.
"It's also okay to be a special guest star." said Chen Ziliang.
Yan Wei said: "Since they have hired Yin Xincheng, the salary left for you will not be too high. It will definitely be lower than your salary for the second season of Friends."
Chen Ziliang said: "If they want to lower my remuneration and cannot give me the full market price, then they can make it up to me in the subsequent publicity and include the supporting publicity in the contract."
Yan Wei: "Actually, you can also talk to them and ask them to give you more roles and turn this drama into a dual male lead show."
Chen Ziliang's eyes immediately lit up, "Is it okay?"
"If we can bring in money, I believe they will definitely not refuse," Yan Wei said.
Chen Ziliang touched his chin and said, "I'll go talk to Ms. Lan. Ruyi Pictures also makes TV series. Maybe she will be interested."

At this time, news from the Jose-La Roche Film Festival came back.
At the premiere of "Flowers on the Stars", not a single audience member walked out of the theater with their eyes wide open.
The media only gave it a 62% approval rating, but the audience gave it an 89% approval rating, which is a huge difference.
Despite this, the screening of "Flowers on the Stars" at the Jose-Latin Film Festival was a great success.
Yu Jiang was interviewed on the spot and looked very proud.
When asked about the disparity between the media and audience reviews, she said: "This is what we expected from the beginning. After all, in the eyes of many media, our film is not very cinematic, without those highbrow and humanistic reflections. Our film was made for the audience from the beginning. If the audience likes it, I will be very satisfied."
She announced another piece of news, saying: "Our film has been bought by the American film company Parameter for global distribution rights except for mainland China. The film will be released worldwide."
The reporter asked: "Congratulations, when will Flowers on the Stars be released in China? Has the date been set?"
"Not yet, we will let it meet everyone as soon as possible." Yu Jiang said happily.
"Teacher Yu, did you watch other movies during your visit to the Jose-Simon Film Festival this time?"
"I'm too busy. My schedule is full every day. I have to meet a lot of people and I don't have time at all." Yu Jiang sighed regretfully. "Actually, if possible, I also hope to watch movies from various countries at the Jose-La Mancha Film Festival. Although I am a writer, I am also a movie lover. I watch a lot of movies every year."
The reporter asked: "Will Mr. Yu watch Lu Yanhe's movies?"
Yu Jiang smiled at the reporter.
The reporter also had a sincere smile on his face.
Yu Jiang said: "Of course, I am not the kind of audience who will give up the whole movie just because I have a problem with one person."
"This time, Rouge, written by Lu Yanhe, received great acclaim at the Jose-La-Cebu International Film Festival. Another movie written by him, Lost on Journey, will be screened the day after tomorrow. We all know that you and Lu Yanhe had some conflicts and grievances before. So what do you think of the movie written by Lu Yanhe?"
Yu Jiang smiled and said, "Let's talk about Flowers on the Stars, shall we? I'm here to promote Flowers on the Stars, not other movies."
The reporter continued to ask: "If Flowers on the Stars and these two movies were released at the same time, which movie do you think would have a higher box office?"
The smile on Yu Jiang's face could hardly be suppressed.
"That depends on the audience. I can't guess it now. Besides, there's no need to compare the box office. If you do that, there will only be one successful movie every year. Anyway, there will always be only one movie with the highest box office, right?"
Reporter: "Then will the magazine Star!, which you edit, launch a film section like Jump Up?"
Yu Jiang: “…”
-
Yu Jiang said on his Weibo: Meeting an unprofessional reporter is really as uncomfortable as eating shit, and the whole body feels awkward.
Her original intention was to complain and vent her temper, and also to prepare for the possibility that the interview would have a negative impact on her. She could then blame it on the reporter being unprofessional and deliberately provoking the topic.
However, she didn't expect that many people would say in her comment section:
——When you meet an unprofessional reporter, it's like eating shit, and you feel uncomfortable all over. Isn't it even more uncomfortable for Lu Yanhe to meet a piece of shit like you that he can't get rid of? More uncomfortable?
——Are you being mocked by the reporter? Or are you being harassed by the reporter?
——"Flowers on the Stars" received good reviews from the audience at the Jose-La-Cebu International Film Festival. Sister Yu straightened her back and dared to scold reporters. ——When you met a reporter who made you uncomfortable this time, why didn't you just stand up and leave? Didn't you run away in panic last time because of the ridicule of Teacher Feng Qiyue?
……
At first glance, everyone seemed to be making fun of her.
-
Lu Yanhe glanced at his phone.
Many people sent him screenshots of Yu Jiang’s comment section.
When Lu Yanhe saw Yu Jiang being criticized, the corner of his mouth raised. It would be a lie to say that he did not feel gloating.
Yu Jiang is reaping the fruits of his own action.
He had repeatedly provoked Lu Yanhe and tried to throw dirty water on him countless times by using speculation, denigration and even slander.
But not once was he successful, and instead he turned himself into a joke.
However, the fact that "Flowers on the Stars" was so popular with the audience at the Netherlands-Spanish Film Festival did exceed Lu Yanhe's expectations.
Lu Yanhe thought this movie would be criticized for being too melodramatic.
It turns out that different people have different preferences, and even the worst movie can touch the heart of an audience.
Lu Yanhe packed his schoolbag and prepared to return to Ziyuan Bridge.
Yan Liang is back today.
The filming of "The Gold Rush" he shot was finally completed and he could rest at home for two days.
Lu Yanhe made an appointment with him to have dinner together.
However, unfortunately, Li Zhibai has not yet finished filming.
He is still filming "Moonlight Symphony", and there is still some finishing touches to be completed, and it will be wrapped up soon.
As soon as I walked out of the classroom, Yan Liang sent me a message: Are you done with get out of class?
Lu Yanhe: get out of class is over. I’m about to go home. How about you?
Yan Liang: I just came out of the company and signed the contract for my next play.
Lu Yanhe: Is it the movie “The Mountain Top” mentioned before?
Yan Liang: Yes.
Lu Yanhe: You are a model worker now, shooting one drama after another. In the fourth quarter, you are going to start shooting the third season of "Friends"?
Yan Liang: Well, the first draft of the script for the third season of Friends has come out, and we are very dissatisfied with it.
Lu Yanhe: Not satisfied?
Yan Liang said: Isn't Zhang Lan going to join us this season and co-star with us? She insisted that she have the most scenes, and she wanted to be ranked first, but the rest of us disagreed.
Lu Yanhe: Of course we cannot agree to such an unreasonable request.
Yan Liang said: That's right, they still treat us as the newcomers we were before, ready to be bullied by anyone.
Lu Yanhe asked: What about Beijing and Taiwan?
Yan Liang: Jingtai certainly wants to convince our agent so that we can get our work done. Anyway, I don’t agree. Zhou Pingan came to me and I said the same thing.
Lu Yanhe: Now you are getting tougher.
Yan Liang said: If they continue like this, "Friends" can just end at the third season, there is no need for a fourth season. Anyway, the reputation will still not be good if they keep doing this.
Lu Yanhe: Actually, it’s not impossible to arrange a new protagonist, but you say you want to be the first and have more roles than others right from the start. You have filmed two seasons of "Friends", and you are the most important existence of "Friends". Why should you give way to her?
Yan Liang: Beijing and Taiwan have said that they are top-tier stars, and they have achieved great results in their own dramas. They have more experience than us, and they can also bring more audiences to "Friends".
Lu Yanhe: Then why not just tailor a script for her? Why would she choose to play in this kind of multi-protagonist drama?
Yan Liang: Anyway, we are quite united in this matter. Ever since you encountered those things in Beijing and Taiwan and decided to withdraw from the drama "Friends", it sounded a wake-up call for the five of us. Even you were bullied by Beijing and Taiwan, not to mention us. The five of us agreed that no matter what happened, the five of us would advance and retreat together. Whether it was salary negotiations or other issues, it was the same.
Lu Yanhe asked: Director Bai has gone to Northern Lights Video now. Have you decided who will direct the third season?
Yan Liang said: We don’t know which director will come yet, and it feels like Jingtai doesn’t care about the director’s affairs at all.
Lu Yanhe asked: How is the script? Putting aside the fact that Zhang Lan has too many scenes, what about other aspects?
Yan Liang said: It's a little better than the script of the second season. We've learned a lot from the second season and finally stopped deliberately designing some bloody plots. Instead, we develop the plot around a few of us.
Lu Yanhe: That’s good.
Yan Liang: Oh, it would be great if we could always have the same lineup as in the first season.
Lu Yanhe: In the entertainment industry, there is no way around it. It’s always breaking up and getting back together. It’s hard to find a crew that can continue to work together.
The two of them walked back to Ziyuan Bridge while chatting on their phones.
Lu Yanhe also asked Zou Dong to drive to a braised food shop where they often bought food, so that they could buy some to take back and eat together.
"Brother Dong, you should take a rest tomorrow. I don't have any classes tomorrow and I don't plan to go out. Don't worry about me." Zou Dong said.
Zou Dong nodded and said okay.
Lu Yanhe added, "By the way, summer vacation is about to start. I bought some books, one set for Xiaoyu and one set for Brother He's son Xiaohu. They have arrived. You can take them back later. Please also mail one set to Brother He."
Zou Dong was a little surprised because Xiaoyu was his son Zou Yu.
“Why did you buy them books?”
"It's never a bad thing to read more books. It's summer vacation now, so we have a lot of time, so it's a good time to read." Lu Yanhe said, "They are all very interesting story books, some fantasy, some fairy tales, all of which I think are very suitable for them to read at this age."
Zou Dong nodded solemnly, "Thank you. Alas, sometimes I want to buy him something, but I really don't know what to buy him."
"You can buy anything." Lu Yanhe said, "Believe me, as long as you don't buy him tutoring books or something like that, your child will be happy with whatever you buy."
Zou Dong was stunned and looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother Dong, you won't--"
"I just bought him a set of tutorial books last week," said Zou Dong.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help laughing.
He said: "Then you have to compensate him well, he must be very hurt."
Zou Dong: "I think it's more important for him to study more, get good grades, and get into a good university.
"Of course it's true, but if you reason with children, you're being unreasonable." Lu Yanhe said, "Studying hard is a matter of studying hard, and love without specific intentions is also needed by them."
Zou Dong: "Yeah, that's right."
Lu Yanhe said: "But I am just talking on paper. I haven't even graduated from college yet. I was just thinking about my childhood."
Zou Dong was stunned.
When Lu Yanhe saw his expression, he knew that he was thinking wrongly.
Whenever he mentioned his childhood, people would always immediately think of Lu Yanhe "growing up without parents".
But the childhood he actually mentioned was "a childhood with parents."
And every time such a misunderstanding occurred, Lu Yanhe had no way to explain it.
Fortunately, although there are misunderstandings, everyone’s understanding is the same.
The final consensus is what is the most important thing in life.
-
There aren't many books, just eight in each set, packed in two cardboard boxes about the size of a book.
Zou Dong took it away.
Lu Yanhe carried the dishes that had just been delivered to the door and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
His cooking skills are not that great, at least he can't go on TV shows to show off his skills like flipping the wok, but he knows the basics.
He cooked it a lot himself, and practice makes perfect. Gradually, the dish went from filling his stomach to taste pretty good.
It's very convenient now.
The chicken I bought has already been processed and can be stewed directly in the pot.
He wanted to make some chicken soup so that he could drink it tomorrow.
Yan Liang said that he was filming a movie abroad and stayed in the deep mountains and forests every day. It wasn't miserable, but compared to usual times, it was definitely a hard time.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is bad.
But "The Gold Rush" is such a play. It is not impossible to shoot it in a studio instead of on location, but it will always be a little less interesting.
Lu Yanhe still admires Yan Liang very much.
I went there as soon as I said I would, without any hesitation.
This is also because of a good foundation. When Yan Liang was in the Fengzhi group, he was not very popular and relied on his own hard work. So, now that he is famous and has opportunities, he dare not be arrogant. He works hard when he should and endures hardships when he should. He does not make excuses or complain all day long - of course, the complaints in the group of three of them do not count, those are complaints to friends.
Although Lu Yanhe was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw Yan Liang.
Yan Liang used to run every day and later started to go to the gym. He has always had a lot of flesh on his body and his muscles are very well-shaped. He looks slim in the clothes he wears, but he doesn't look frail.
When he walked in carrying a large bag and dragging two suitcases, Lu Yanhe took a look and felt that Yan Liang's entire body was thinner, as if he had just escaped from a disaster - Lu Yanhe felt that he was not exaggerating at all when he thought so.
Lu Yanhe looked at him in disbelief.
"What are you-"
Yan Liang sighed deeply and said, "I know that people in the company say that I have lost weight. During this period of time, I have to work hard to gain some weight back."
Lu Yanhe: "How hard was it to film this scene?"
Yan Liang shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Is there anything to eat? I can already smell the fragrance. What is this fragrance? It smells so good."
"Chicken soup." Lu Yanhe said, "The chicken soup still needs to be cooked. I bought some braised food. You can eat some to fill your stomach first."
When Yan Liang heard this, his eyes lit up.
"You really understand me. I'm so hungry now." Yan Liang immediately threw the things away.
-
Lu Yanhe fried some lily ham according to a recipe he copied from the Internet. He took a bite and it tasted pretty good.
I steamed another fish. This is much easier to make.
Then, she took out the steamed rice and fried a pot of egg fried rice - this was the dish Yan Liang ordered.
"I was craving for this egg fried rice when I was abroad. I drooled when I went to bed at night."
Yan Liang was very restrained and ate only a little of the braised food so as not to leave himself hungry for the dinner that Lu Yanhe had worked so hard to prepare.
The two of them sat down at the table and looked at the five dishes. Lu Yanhe said, "Take a picture for Li Zhibai."
Yan Liang said: "Sure, I'll post another Weibo @him, and it'll also be a good opportunity to tell my fans that I'm back in China."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
The two took a selfie with a table of food.
What Lu Yanhe posted was: It’s not easy to lose weight.
What Yan Liang posted was: I came back hungry, Chef Lu is so awesome.
Both of them are at the end @李治百.
I didn’t say anything to Li Zhibai, just @ him.
About ten minutes later, Li Zhibai replied with a "Bah!" in their respective comment sections.
He was still on the crew and couldn't come back, so he didn't have the chance to eat this meal and seemed to be very resentful.
One minute later, Li Zhibai left another message under Lu Yanhe's Weibo: You'd better prepare a table like this for me when I come back, otherwise we will no longer be friends. (End of this chapter)
