Chapter 31 That's it.
Chapter 31 That's it.
The film "Buddha Mountain" was so depressing and decadent that it took Lin Feng three whole days to completely detach himself from the character after filming wrapped.
His way of adjusting is through exercise. Only the most intense competitive sports can make people forget everything and quickly step out of the role.
Therefore, during Lin Feng's three days at school, Zhu Yilong and the others played basketball with him for three days. Of course, Lin Feng also treated them to meals for three days, since he had money now.
Lin Feng received a salary of 20 yuan for the film "Buddha Mountain". After deducting the economic share, he received 6 yuan. This time, Lin Feng did not give any money to his family, keeping some money in hand for convenience.
It was the same familiar "Gang of Four," but this time Zhai Tianlin seemed a bit embarrassed, and awkwardly left early after finishing his basketball game.
During dinner, Zhu Yilong asked gossipily, "Lin Feng, I heard you're acting in a movie with Fan Binbin? How's it working with such a big star? And I heard you have a lot of kissing scenes? Was it awesome?"
"It's alright, nothing special."
"What do you mean 'okay'? That's Fan Binbin! You can not only act with her, but you can also have kissing scenes with her. How can you say 'okay'?!"
"Old Zhu, if I told you I've really kissed enough of Fan Binbin, would you believe me?"
"I don't believe you, you're dreaming."
"See? You don't believe me!"
"But Lin Feng, to be honest, I really envy you. Actually, it's not just me; many people in our class envy you. Even Zhai Tianlin admires you, though he just doesn't want to admit it."
Now you not only have fame, but also works to your name. Taking on the role in "Meteor Shower" was the right decision; you've found your path.
"And I still don't know what to do in the future?" As graduation approaches, Zhu Yilong is feeling lost. He doesn't have that kind of superficial brotherhood—"afraid that my brother will suffer, and also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover"—he just can't find his direction.
"Old Zhu, actually I was just lucky. It was a coincidence. At the time, I felt that the mainland lacked idol dramas, and there was just such a suitable opportunity, so I seized it. It's not that I'm so great, it's just that I was really lucky."
Don't underestimate yourself; you'll definitely make it eventually. But don't rush things now. First, solve your survival problem. If you can get acting roles and stay in Yanjing, there will be plenty of opportunities later.
After all, male actors have a much longer career span than female actors; 40 is actually the golden age for male actors!
Lin Feng didn't want to change Zhu Yilong's career path right away. The path he took in his previous life was very stable. It was the experience gained from those small roles that made him the first Best Actor among the "born in 85".
Of course, Lin Feng doesn't have that ability yet. He still needs room to grow. Perhaps when he's fully capable, he can help these brothers.
"Of course, if you ever feel like you can't make it anymore, you can call me, and I'll definitely help you."
"Okay, thanks bro. If things really get tough, then I won't stand on ceremony."
...
Lin Feng hadn't even had two days of comfort at school when his agent, Hu Shan, showed up at his door, immediately launching into a scathing attack with a smile:
"You, Lin Feng, you've already finished filming for two days, but you still say you only finished today. Everyone else is scrambling to get on shows and get resources, but you sneaked back here. How can you be so lazy? You need to get up and get back to work. There are a lot of things waiting for you."
When Lin Feng saw his agent arrive in person, he figured his work was about to take off again, and he prepared to throw himself into his work, since he still needed to make money.
"Sister Hu, whatever it is, just take care of it. I've rested enough. Anyway, I'll sell all my meat, about a hundred pounds, to you."
"You're still feeling wronged? Everything else can wait, but right now there are two most important things."
The first thing is that the third draft of the script for the second season of "Meteor Shower," titled "Meteor Shower 2," is finished. We're just waiting to have a meeting to discuss and finalize it. Filming for this second season will start after the new year.
The second thing is Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert this year. Your "Meteor Shower" cast will all be performing then. You're not a good singer, so you'd better practice beforehand!
By the way, because Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert also released a theme song called "Happy Departure," all the important artists under EE-Media will participate in recording the music video.
This song will also be the closing act at the New Year's Eve concert. Also, we need to take a "New Year's Family Photo" poster of all the artists from Tianyu Media at the end of the year, so you should get ready too.
"Ah! So many things to do. Don't rush, let's take it one step at a time. Let's finish the script for 'Meteor Shower Again' first."
At this moment, in the conference room at Tianyu headquarters, Lin Feng saw Deng Shuang and the others again. Lin Feng nodded and sat down.
Deng Shuang, overjoyed to see Lin Feng after so long, wanted to sit closer to him and talk more. However, Zhang Han came over and sat between them, which made Deng Shuang very unhappy.
At this moment, producer Yao Jia arrived at the conference room with the director and screenwriter. Since everyone was an old acquaintance, there was no need for formalities, and they got straight to the point.
Yao Jia said directly, "Everyone has seen the script, right? We've consulted everyone many times, and this is already the third draft. We need to finalize it in the next couple of days. There's still a lot of preparatory work to be done."
These three drafts are just so-so. The plot is definitely not good. Apart from the female lead, "Chu Yuxun," the character designs of the other main characters seem to have all been changed.
In particular, the character of the male lead "Murong Yunhai" played by Lin Feng has a complete 360° reversal. In the first part, he was a devoted lover, but in the second part, he became a scumbag!
Lin Feng certainly hoped that the second part would be more and more successful. He had suggested before that the main character's character design should be consistent in the second part. Moreover, this was already the third draft, but the result was still the same. What could he say? Let it be.
I guess the screenwriter has run out of ideas. If the male lead, Lin Feng, doesn't have a flawed character, there's no way to introduce the second female lead, and the story just can't be written.
What could Lin Feng say at this point? He simply nodded in agreement and said, "Let's just destroy it quickly. It's just a bit pitiful for the fans of the first season of 'Meteor Shower'."
Lin Feng then came to terms with it. If the second season of "Meteor Shower Again" really became as popular as the first season, then...
Will there be more "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Again" or "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Again" in the future? If so, he will be permanently stuck in the "Meteor Shower" series.
Compared to the plot of the second season of "Meteor Shower Again", Lin Feng was more concerned about the salary. This time, Tianyu Media was very generous, giving him a salary of 10,000 yuan per episode, a five-fold increase. It seems they really bleed money from this.
So, the second season of "Meteor Shower Again" has a total of 35 episodes. Lin Feng's salary is 35 yuan, and he can take home 10 yuan, which is not bad. His salary is getting higher and higher.
So far, Lin Feng has not secured a single GG endorsement. GG companies are so cautious these days, with a six-month evaluation period. Unlike the future era of internet traffic, where companies know how to monetize, a GG endorsement can be secured as soon as a drama becomes popular.
It doesn't matter if other male celebrities endorse products, but MG, the brand I praised for three minutes in "Meteor Shower," doesn't it want me to be their spokesperson? What a waste of praise.
After the script was finalized, producer Yao Jia even consulted Lin Feng on the "second female lead" role, which made the others extremely envious. This shows how much they value Lin Feng!
"Lin Feng, what do you think of my choice for the second female lead? She's of mixed Chinese and Indian descent, and she was sixth in this year's Super Girl competition. Her name is Tan Lina."
I chose her because she and Deng Shuang are different types of girls. She has a unique, wild beauty, which perfectly matches the character "Jiang Yuan" in the drama—grand, fashionable, and avant-garde.
What do you think? After all, she's the one you've acted with the most, so why don't you give her some advice?
There were quite a few artists within EE-Media vying for the role of the second female lead, but Yao Jia valued the mixed-race Tan Lina highly, feeling that she had a very international flair.
It's common in the entertainment industry for male leads to cast female leads in film and television dramas. Of course, it's also possible for female leads to cast male leads, but such cases are rare, probably only those of the caliber of Sun Li.
"Mr. Yao, it's not really appropriate for me to offer suggestions, but I think it's quite good. Both of these different girls are very interesting to watch."
To be honest, Lin Feng didn't really like her. Tan Lina seemed a bit dark-skinned, and she was also a complete newcomer with no acting skills.
However, this scheming second female lead in her past life didn't bring her any benefits; in fact, she was almost universally criticized, so Lin Feng didn't say much.
Anyway, Lin Feng felt that "Meteor Shower Again" was just so-so. At least it was a decent idol drama, so he didn't want to get too involved.
He'll have to choose carefully from now on!
