Chapter 54 is definitely interesting.
Recently, director Daniel Lee has been struggling to find a suitable actor for the role of Xiang Yu, one of the two male leads in the film "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen". He has interviewed several actors, but none of them are quite right.
Actually, he took over the film project "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" midway through. The previous director, Lu Chuan, had a falling out with the production company because he focused too much on personal expression.
This also led to the rushed preparation of Li Rengang's film. Everything else was fine, but the most troublesome thing was that the male lead "Xiang Yu" could not be found for a long time.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan, the director who had previously withdrawn from the project, has now partnered with Stellar Media to prepare for the filming of "The Last Supper." The two films, which started filming almost simultaneously and have completely similar themes, seem to be competing head-on.
Although Li Rengang stated in public interviews that "many ships can't overturn the sea," emphasizing that the two films are completely different in narrative approach and presentation, he focused more on "doing his own job well and creating a good story."
But to say there was no pressure would be a lie. Even if Li Rengang himself didn't care, the media reporters would definitely compare the two films, comparing them in terms of plot, characters, roles, and so on. He knew all too well the character of those entertainment reporters.
Let's fight head-on!
Directors: Li Rengang VS Lu Chuan.
The male lead "Liu Bang": Since Liu Ye was chosen to play "Liu Bang" in "The Last Supper", then Leon Lai will play "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen".
However, the other male lead, "Xiang Yu," is now confirmed to be played by Daniel Wu in "The Last Supper." So, the male lead in "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" can't be any less than Daniel Wu, right?
Is there anyone more handsome, more popular, and better at acting than Daniel Wu?
Li Rengang realized he was being a bit delusional; it seemed there really wasn't one. So he turned to the casting director and asked, "Who is the most popular and promising male artist in the entertainment industry right now?"
"Lin Feng! He's the hottest male star in the industry right now, with two hit dramas in his hands, he's riding high." The casting director answered without even turning his head. It's already impressive for a star to have one hit drama, let alone two. That's extremely rare.
"Lin Feng? A new actor who just emerged? Let me check his profile and related performance clips."
When Li Rengang first saw Lin Feng, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is an idol! He's really handsome, even more handsome than Daniel Wu!"
Then, Li Rengang gave a brief review of Lin Feng's performance and commented, "His acting is just average. He's okay as an idol, but not good enough for movies!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Feng's performance more closely and found that Lin Feng's performance was actually quite nuanced, it was just that it wasn't obvious unless you were paying close attention.
At this moment, the casting director next to him also said: "Lin Feng has only been in the industry for two years. He has only had two idol dramas airing so far, but they are both very popular and have excellent ratings. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so popular!"
However, I saw him and Fan Binbin in a movie called "Buddha Mountain" at the Tokyo International Film Festival last year. It's the movie where Fan Binbin won Best Actress. His acting was superb, and he had a kind of artistic vibe. It's just that this movie hasn't been released yet.
"Really? Is there a trailer? I can just watch it and understand."
"Buddha Mountain" is scheduled to be released on March 4th, and the relevant promotional trailer has been released. Although there are not many scenes with Lin Feng in the trailer, after watching it, Li Rengang could not believe that it was the same actor. Just this alone shows that this Lin Feng is a very good actor!
What the hell!
Li Rengang suddenly realized that Lin Feng was an actor who was more handsome, more popular, and better at acting than Wu Yanzu!
Using Lin Feng to counter Wu Yanzu is the perfect choice!
The casting director, who was standing nearby, understood what Li Rengang meant and said, "Director, Lin Feng's acting skills are good, and he's popular, but his image and temperament don't seem suitable for the role of 'Xiang Yu,' the legendary overlord!"
Li Rengang looked at it, thought for a moment, and finally said, "You can't tell just by looking at it like this. Try it on in the mirror and see how it goes. Then you can send out invitations."
When Lin Feng received the invitation to "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen", he was filming "GG" and suddenly got 5 "GG" roles, becoming incredibly famous!
The best indicator of a celebrity's popularity, besides genuine public discussion, is probably their GG endorsements. After all, GG is the most shrewd company; the more GG endorsements a celebrity has, the more popular they are.
Previously, Lin Feng's endorsement fee for a male celebrity was usually 50 yuan per year or 100 million yuan for two years. However, after the broadcast of "Palace", his male celebrity endorsement fee directly increased to 100 million yuan per year. If Lin Feng were not short of money now, it would not be impossible for him to earn 200 million yuan per year.
These GG merchants are despicable. Before, they went to great lengths to secure an endorsement deal, refusing to pay even 500,000 a year. Now that the price has increased to 1 million a year, they don't even blink. They even have to beg Lin Feng to endorse them. What a bunch of scoundrels!
而这5个GG代言分别是雀巢咖啡、青岛啤酒、伊利、陌森（墨镜）、李宁运动休闲装，全部一年100万，共计500万的代言，林锋能到手30+40+50+60+70=250万。
Good, good, we're one step closer to launching the movie "Love is Not Blind".
At this time, Lin Feng had just finished filming all the GG (Ghost Story) scenes when his agent, Hu Shan, came to him with the script for "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" and an invitation. Upon meeting him, she happily said:
"Lin Feng, this is a real blockbuster, an epic film with an investment of over 100 million yuan. They've cast you as the male lead, you can't refuse again!"
Hu Shan is almost depressed lately because Lin Feng has rejected her so many scripts. Since Lin Feng became popular again, he's been receiving so many offers to write scripts.
Even if you add up all the script invitations given to artists by Tianyu Media, it might not equal the number given to Lin Feng alone, and all of them are for male lead roles.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng's salary has also skyrocketed. 10 yuan per episode is already the market price, and some offers can reach 15 to 20 yuan per episode.
And what about Lin Feng?
It seems like he only refuses without any hesitation, even though many of them were carefully selected by her!
Furthermore, he consecutively rejected the Warring States epic drama "The Legend of the Tiger Amulet" and the modern urban drama "Symphony of Destiny," which would have allowed him to continue working with Yang Mi. He then turned down the palace historical dramas "Phoenix Totem" and "The Secret History of Princess Taiping," which would have allowed him to work with Deng Shuang, and the urban romance drama "The Price of Victory," which would have allowed him to work with Taiwanese actress Joe Chen.
These are all major productions invested in by major film and television companies. Well, in futuristic terms, they are "S+" level film and television dramas!
But Lin Feng refused without any discussion. At this point, not only Hu Shan, but even Long Danni had completely given up. "Teaching him a lesson won't work," "Letting him go won't work either," and if Lin Feng were to go even further, her position as president would be in jeopardy. Let Lin Feng do whatever he wants!
The key point is that Lin Feng not only refused to act in the films himself, but he also turned down roles in "Phoenix Totem" and "The Secret History of Princess Taiping" on Deng Shuang's behalf. This is understandable, since they are now boyfriend and girlfriend, and he can help Deng Shuang with her ideas, which she is willing to listen to.
But Lin Feng also told Yang Mi to refuse "Ruyi," which was a mystery to even Yang Mi, as it involved Lin Feng's intentions and questioned his identity.
"Why did you refuse those two projects before? Didn't you want to continue working with me? And isn't this drama good? The pay is very high, why can't I act in it?"
"I didn't like those two dramas before, and I just felt that 'Ruyi' wasn't suitable for you!"
What else could Lin Feng say? He really didn't have the right or the means to say it. He couldn't very well say: "This drama is the one that brought you and Liu Kaiwei together, and I don't want you to act in it!"
As for Yang Mi, she is a very opinionated person. She never listens to anyone's opinions. Even if it's Lin Feng, she still wants to act in it. After all, she has only acted in two dramas so far. She should act in three more, otherwise she would be a waste of fame!
***
Returning to Lin Feng, he was somewhat surprised when he first received the role in "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen," because he's not the type of rugged, tough guy, and he himself didn't think he could portray Xiang Yu, the legendary overlord.
He had never played such a role in either his past or present life. Did he not understand himself, or could the director see a unique side of him? Lin Feng hesitated.
At this point, Hu Shan continued, "Lin Feng, this is a real big production! You'll be acting opposite an actor like Leon Lai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings! Even your supporting cast includes veteran actors like Zhang Hanyu, Huang Qiusheng, Chen Xiaochun, and An Zhijie!"
Oh, and they offered a whopping 200 million yuan in salary! That's incredibly generous, considering our last movie, *Buddha Mountain*, only cost 20 yuan—that's ten times more! It'll be much easier to negotiate salaries in the future! That's the standard!
With this 200 million yuan film fee, plus his previous endorsement deal with Lin Feng, his income has already exceeded 500 million yuan. He can take the maximum 20% commission, which means he can get 160 million yuan.
With the new GG endorsement fee of 2.5 million yuan and Lin Feng's previous savings of over 1 million yuan, he could come up with about 5 million yuan to invest in the movie "Love is Not Blind," which would basically allow him to start filming. So he stopped hesitating.
"Okay! I'll give it a try!"
Lin Feng agreed not only because the salary was very reasonable, but also because he wanted to challenge his acting skills. He wanted to see if he could play the legendary overlord Xiang Yu. It would be exciting and challenging, but he was sure it would be a lot of fun!
If that's the case, "Love is Not Blind" and "The Last Supper" could be released around the same time.
These two completely different characters, one a sissy cross-dresser in "Love is Not Blind," and the other a domineering and powerful warlord in "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen."
If they appear on the same screen at the same time, and are played by the same actor, that extreme contrast would definitely be very interesting!
