Chapter 48 Hopefully, it can be served next time.
After filming wrapped, Lin Feng and Deng Shuang disguised themselves and went out for a stroll. In fact, if celebrities disguise themselves well, they are unlikely to be discovered. After all, everyone has a lot to do, so who would care about you?
It was still a bit hot today, so after Lin Feng and Deng Shuang finished their stroll, they went straight to a barbecue restaurant they frequented and booked a small private room.
"Xiao Shuang, you should try this. This barbecue restaurant is pretty good. I come here often. When you come to Hengdian to film, you can come here to eat whenever you have time."
Lin Feng really likes to eat hot food. Although he knows it's not good or healthy, hot food just tastes so good!
Lin Feng had already eaten 10 skewers, while Deng Shuang had only cautiously eaten one, repeatedly saying, "It's so hot!" "It's so hot!" "It's really delicious!"
"Lin Feng, don't eat so fast! Wait for me!"
"No, I want you to feed me!"
"Ouch, I didn't mean for you to use your mouth! Your lips are all oily, mmm..."
After dinner and a stroll, Lin Feng and Deng Shuang returned to the hotel for another wonderful spiritual journey, further deepening their relationship.
At this moment, Deng Shuang subtly nudged Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, that Yang Mi is a real vixen. I think she's looking at you strangely. You'd better be careful of her!"
"Are you jealous? Don't you like me filming kissing scenes with her?"
"Yeah, I saw you kissing another girl. Even though I know it's just acting, I still feel a little uncomfortable." Deng Shuang had only ever filmed kissing scenes with Lin Feng. She felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to say much, afraid that Lin Feng would think she was being unreasonable.
"Actually, when I filmed kissing scenes with them, I imagined them as you, just like Yang Mi just now. Otherwise, would I have kissed them so well?" Lin Feng comforted her.
"Really? Then kiss me like you did during filming this afternoon!"
"Why don't you believe me? Or are you testing my acting skills?"
"Of course I believe you! I want to kiss you too! I've come to visit you on set, but you've never visited me."
Deng Shuang is sometimes not very confident, perhaps because she actively pursued Lin Feng and was rejected by him twice in a row. This caused her to put herself in a very low position when she was with Lin Feng, which made Lin Feng feel sorry for her.
"Yeah, I'll definitely go when I have time. Actually, as a guy, I don't feel disadvantaged filming kissing scenes, but it's really inappropriate for a girl like you. In the future, unless it's unavoidable, you can choose to use camera tricks, so you won't feel disadvantaged!"
Lin Feng likes to kiss other people's girls, but he doesn't like his own girl being kissed by other people. There's no way around it, men are just hypocritical.
"Yeah, even when I'm filming, I won't kiss other guys! They all smell bad. I only love you, Lin Feng, and I'll only kiss you."
"Yes, this is the Xiao Shuang I love the most!"
The training continues...
Not long after Lin Feng saw Deng Shuang off, "Palace" also wrapped up filming, marking the completion of another of his film and television works.
Before parting, Yang Mi gave Lin Feng a big hug and even casually gave him a light kiss, always tempting him from time to time.
"Lin Feng, it was a pleasure working with you. I hope we'll have the chance to work together again next time. And I promise my acting will surprise you next time. I promise you won't let me bully you again!"
Yeah, I definitely will! And I hope there will be more kissing scenes next time, maybe even some bed scenes, so your girlfriend can watch!
"You vixen, you really know how to seduce people! Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"
"I dare to give it to you, but do you dare to eat it? Aren't you afraid your little girlfriend will be jealous? But I really didn't expect that someone as mature and steady as you would find such an innocent and romantic girl!"
"As for love, well, let's talk about it another time! Before I leave, I sincerely want to tell you that you're a good actor, and it would be even better if you didn't take on so many roles at once!"
"Ugh, you didn't even say anything nice at the end!"
"This show is definitely going to be a huge hit, so get ready to become a superstar! Wouldn't you consider that the most sincere blessing?"
"That's very sincere! But do you think you can become famous overnight?"
"I said that because I've never failed!"
"You've only acted in a few movies, and you dare to talk such big!"
"Really? Then let's wait and see. If this show becomes a hit, you have to promise me one thing, okay?"
"This show is a hit, I'm famous now! I'd be willing to do anything, even ten things, let alone one! But your conditions can't be too unreasonable!"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
When they parted, Yang Mi was still very reluctant to leave, and repeatedly told him, "Hey, Lin Feng, keep in touch often, okay? Really, I'll definitely reply to your calls and texts as soon as possible. If I don't reply immediately, it means I'm working."
Actually, if Lin Feng didn't have Deng Shuang, she really wanted to pursue him. Even if he has a girlfriend now, she could still pursue him. It's just that Yang Mi doesn't have many opportunities left, so she can only wait for the next drama.
Meanwhile, Tong Liya, standing nearby, was quite envious of Yang Mi's intimate conversation with Lin Feng. She really liked Lin Feng; he was handsome, mature, talented, and cultured—her ideal type.
However, the two have very few scenes together. Lin Feng isn't with Yang Mi every day, and Deng Shuang often visits the set, so they don't have many opportunities to interact.
Tong Liya is currently just a minor actress and doesn't have the qualifications to be in a romantic relationship. She simply keeps her feelings to herself and lets the past slip away. It can only be said that the two were destined to be apart.
However, after filming wrapped up and they parted ways, Tong Liya was finally able to openly give Lin Feng a big hug. "Lin Feng, I really hope to become your friend and have the opportunity to work with you again. I just hope that when we work together, we can have many scenes together."
Now that "Palace" has finished filming, Tong Liya no longer has a chance. She just keeps her feelings to herself and hopes that Lin Feng will be even better and more famous in the future.
Lin Feng didn't think too much about it; he was still wondering when Tong Liya would get together with Chen Sicheng.

After filming wrapped on "Palace," Raymond Lam barely had two days to rest before diving into new GG endorsements and commercial activities.
After the second season of "Meteor Shower Again" aired, Hu Shan helped Lin Feng secure two more GG endorsements, meaning Lin Feng has secured a total of five GG endorsements this year.
The beverage brand "Master Kong Iced Tea" and the candy brand "Alpenliebe Double Enjoyment Stick" both value Lin Feng's influence among young consumers, and each received a one-year endorsement fee of 50 yuan, totaling 100 million yuan.
Taking into account Lin Feng's previous GG endorsements, this 100 million can be subject to the third tier of 50% revenue sharing, meaning Lin Feng will receive 50.
Adding what he had left over, Lin Feng now had over a million yuan. Not bad, not bad. He could get a million yuan in the second year, so next year would be his year of takeoff. Could he double that amount? Or even ten times it?
Next year, Lin Feng will definitely be a top-tier star.
Lin Feng's joy was short-lived, as he soon saw that the Beijing Film Academy was holding a grand 60th anniversary celebration on October 23. This was the first time the Film Academy had held such a grand anniversary event, and it also invited many outstanding alumni such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
Perhaps because Lin Feng had just graduated, he did not receive an invitation, or perhaps the school looked down on someone like him who debuted in idol dramas; in any case, he did not receive an invitation letter.
Even Yang Mi received an invitation, which made Lin Feng feel a little uncomfortable. It meant that he had not yet entered the mainstream circle. Although he received an invitation, he might not be able to go due to other matters, but how come he couldn't even get an invitation letter?
The crucial point is that Yang Mi even asked Lin Feng in a serious tone, "Today is the school's 60th anniversary celebration, and most of the entertainment industry is here. Why aren't you here? These big-name bosses are all alumni. What kind of connections and resources could you possibly have in the future?"
What could Lin Feng say? Could he say that he hadn't received an invitation and wasn't even qualified to participate? He could only try to tactfully change the subject.
Yang Mi, not forgetting to continue showing off to Lin Feng, said, "I met director Zhang Yimou today and even took a photo with him. I made a wish that I could act in one of Zhang Yimou's movies, even just seeing his back!"
"Oh, right, I also met with director Chen Kaige. He agreed to let me act in the movie 'Caught in the Web.' Although it's just the third female lead, being able to work with such a great director is a dream come true!"
When Yang Mi said these words, Lin Feng could imagine how lively she was at the event. She was too suited to this kind of fame and fortune; otherwise, she could have remained popular for 20 years, which is something that not everyone can do.
However, Yang Mi will have to wait 15 years, until 2025, for a role in Zhang Yimou's film, "The Silent Awakening"; and her current role in Chen Kaige's "Caught in the Web" will be replaced by Wang Luodan because she is filming multiple projects at the same time.
Lin Feng couldn't bear to tell Yang Mi; he'd wait until she hit a wall before telling her.
However, Huang Xiaoming was probably in an even more awkward position. He personally attended to offer his congratulations and was busy with various tasks, but the "Outstanding Graduate Award" presented at the school's anniversary ceremony that day almost covered half of the elites in front of and behind the camera in the new China's film industry.
This includes more than 500 well-known filmmakers such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Han Sanping. Among the classmates from the Class of '96, Zhao Wei and Chen Kun, who were absent that day, were on the list, while Huang Xiaoming, who came to show his support, was not selected as an "Outstanding Graduate".
Lin Feng, who had been sitting in the audience, was very envious and hoped that if his alma mater held another anniversary celebration of this level, he would be qualified to sit at the table, or even at the head table.
