Huayu is here for you

After the premiere of "You Are the Apple of My Eye", Lin Yu first gave a miserable greeting to Miss Liu, and then Han Sanping dragged him back to the set of "The Martian".

Ms. Liu has been busy preparing for her audition for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and has nothing else to do lately, so she has gone back to school for the first time.

Before going to school, Ms. Liu brought a small gift for each of her classmates, as is customary.

But this time she clearly felt that her classmates were much closer to her, and they were more concerned about her well-being, which made Ms. Liu think that they had all changed their personalities!

However, after seeing that Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and others were treated similarly to her, she fully understood that it wasn't her persistent desire to befriend them that moved them, but rather that she received such treatment because of her role in "You Are the Apple of My Eye." She couldn't help but feel a little sad, but she recovered quickly because she felt that Lin Yu was right.

How many people do we meet in our lifetime? Just treat those who don't genuinely want to be our friends as passersby.

Meanwhile, the casting controversy surrounding Big Beard's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was getting increasingly heated. Big Beard was pulling in anyone with fame and good looks to promote the show, completely disregarding the actors' own opinions.

The actors are, of course, doing everything they can to increase their chances of getting roles. Some have even undergone plastic surgery specifically for these roles, causing a huge uproar among their fans who are cheering for their idols.

Time passed little by little, and the box office of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" continued to rise. The outside world was very optimistic about Lin Yu's new movie. After all, everyone has a youthful time. Most of the comments from the general public about "You Are the Apple of My Eye" were positive.

It's worth mentioning that Lin Yu's public information also includes the identities of a singer and music creator, which can be said to be an unintentional move that has allowed him to cross over into two industries.

Moreover, the film grossed over 30 million yuan in its opening week, and Ms. Liu even called Lin Yu to share the good news.

She also happily told Lin Yu about her upcoming role in "The Return of the Condor Heroes." Although Lin Yu was a little surprised that Liu Yifei joined the crew a bit late, she still offered her her best wishes.

Lin Yu felt a pang of sympathy for the actors who had been nearly ruined by Big Beard. They probably never imagined that their roles would be snatched away by someone else just before filming was about to begin! It has to be said that Big Beard is really good at creating publicity and generating buzz.

Of course, Ms. Liu's call to congratulate Lin Yu wasn't the first one he received. Companies like China Film Group, Wanda Group, Huayi Brothers Media Group, and Enlight Media had already congratulated Lin Yu in advance.

Needless to say, the actors, even those filming "The Martian," all congratulated Lin Yu on that day, not to mention the other actors who had Lin Yu's contact information.

Lin Yu was either on the phone or on his way to be on the phone, which led him to finally turn off his phone to give himself some peace and quiet.

However, after such a long filming period, the scenes in "The Martian" are gradually coming to an end.

Lin Yu inevitably ate dirt for several days, since he couldn't just film scenes with green screens.

After a five-month filming period, The Martian, a film that has captivated countless hearts, officially wrapped up filming in December.

So Lin Yu took the 6-hour-long film and plunged into the editing room. Han Sanping and Fox, the companies that would do the special effects for the film, had already been contacted for him.

So when Lin Yu walked out of the editing room a week later, he was back to a state of carefree ease.

"Ah! Finally, I can enjoy salted fish for a few days."

Lin Yu sighed as he drove home. He was already looking forward to eating a meal cooked by his mother.

The news that "The Martian" had finished filming gradually spread to the outside world, but the companies did not promote it seriously. After all, the production cycle of special effects is too long, more than a year. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to promote it now?

They might as well give "You Are the Apple of My Eye" some more publicity. Judging from the current situation, this movie is sure to gross over 100 million, but it's just a matter of whether it can break 200 million.

After enjoying a few days of pampering from his parents at home, Lin Yu was grabbed by the collar and thrown out by his own mother.

"Alas! The ancients were right. When I'm not home, my parents miss me terribly; when I'm home for too long, they complain about me terribly."

So, with nowhere else to go, Director Lin could only silently carry his little schoolbag and go to school.

As for Starlight? With Xiao Ou around, why should he worry about it? Anyway, Lin Yu now feels that Xiao Ou is more like Starlight's boss than he is.

However, after attending classes at the school for a few days, Lin Yu clearly felt a bit bored. There were only a few people in the directing department, and they were constantly trying to find connections to get into film crews and build up their resumes. So every time Lin Yu attended a directing class, he felt like the instructor on stage was giving him one-on-one tutoring, and was incredibly enthusiastic, which made Lin Yu feel a little embarrassed every time.

Moreover, he would often be taken to his advisor's office for heart-to-heart talks, which made him feel like he spent more time in his advisor's office than in the classroom.

Lin Yu, walking on campus, was even more so. It was as if everyone knew him. No matter where he went, he would run into people who greeted him, and he couldn't not respond. If word got out, Lin Yu would be labeled as arrogant.

As a result, Lin Yu's mouth was stiff every time he returned to his dormitory.

However, the entrance exams for the Beijing Film Academy are about to begin, which is good news for Lin Yu because he won't have to deal with the teachers anymore.

The school is currently busy arranging various matters related to the art exams, and the teachers conducting the assessments don't have time to deal with him right now. Moreover, the holidays are almost here, so Lin Yu is thinking about whether he can ask for another leave to seamlessly connect with the winter break, so as to save himself from being upset at school every day.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu's claim was rejected, leaving Lin Yu completely stunned!

My request for leave was denied? Are you kidding me!

Just as Lin Yu was about to ask why, his mentors told him: You have no acting opportunities right now! Just focus on attending classes at school for the next couple of days!

Lin Yu instantly understood; it turned out that his excuse for asking for leave—wanting to go out and relax—had been too casual.

I should have just said I was preparing for a new movie, but it's not too late to come up with a different excuse now.

"Teacher, 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' is about to leave theaters, I need to throw a celebration party."

"I'll give you two days!"

"Um... I still have to visit someone on set!"

The instructor looked at Lin Yu suspiciously. "Who are you visiting on set for?"

"Um... who was it again?"

"Alright, stop making excuses. I know you can't stay at school, so I can approve your leave."

Lin Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"But... you have to agree to one condition for the school!"

Lin Yu's face immediately fell. Conditions? Are you trying to negotiate with me?
