After this exhilarating battle, Lin Feng had finally satisfied Yang Mi, and she was now completely obedient.
"Lin Feng, my dearest husband, I was so willful yesterday. I'll never do it again. I'll behave myself from now on, and I won't bully Deng Shuang anymore. Please forgive me this time!"
"Fine! I'll forgive you this time, but there absolutely can't be a next time! Besides, what can I say about you? You provoked her and still couldn't beat Xiao Shuang. What kind of behavior is that!"
Okay, okay! I won't say anything more. It's all my fault! Yes, yes, yes! It has nothing to do with Yang Mi or Deng Shuang. It's all my fault, Lin Feng's fault.
"Hey, I'll post a few original photos of us later, and you can repost them. I also got Xiao Shuang to repost them, so we can get away with this!" Lin Feng said while posting a Weibo message, "I sincerely thank all my friends and family for their blessings. I received so much love yesterday, and I was too busy to reply to everyone, but I am full of gratitude. Please forgive me!"
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to my dear fans. It is your unwavering support and love that has made this honor possible for me! This glory belongs to each and every one of us!
Wishing everyone health, happiness, and joy in the new year! I will work even harder to bring you better works! Thank you everyone!
Below this Weibo post, Lin Feng posted several photos, including a photo of him singing with Yang Mi, a photo of him singing with Deng Shuang, and a photo of his fans forming a "red ocean" during his solo performance. Of course, the most important photo was also a group photo of him with Yang Mi, Deng Shuang, and others. Lin Feng even added an extra group photo from a different angle, just in case people didn't notice.
As soon as Lin Feng posted this Weibo, Yang Mi forwarded it, and Deng Shuang also forwarded it immediately after receiving Lin Feng's instructions, without being 10 minutes late.
With Yang Mi and Deng Shuang personally stepping in to appease the fans, and with numerous Lin Feng fans controlling the comments section, public opinion quickly turned around, and the fan war soon came to an end.
"Since Yang Mi has left, and many big fans have left too, then we'll leave as well. There's no point in continuing to argue. I didn't expect Deng Shuang's fans to be so capable!"
"Since Yang Mi's fans have stopped attacking, we won't retaliate either. Continuing to hurl insults like this will only make us a laughingstock for other celebrities' fans."
"To get a good deal."
"To be honest, I really like Yang Mi and Deng Shuang. Before, when the two sides were fighting, I didn't know who to help. Now it's all over! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"What a great show! It's over as soon as it started. Lin Feng is really something else. Not only are his fans so obedient, but he can also get two female celebrities to listen to him. That's impressive!"
"Exactly, both beauties are gorgeous, why are their fans smearing each other? And to be honest, even with the criticisms, I still think they're quite beautiful."
After the public outcry subsided, Lin Feng decided to head back. Deng Shuang was waiting for him to come home for lunch. Before leaving, Lin Feng gave Yang Mi a light slap on the buttocks and said, "Nothing much, I'm going back now. Oh, and by the way! The 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' press conference is in a couple of days, so don't cause me any trouble then!"
At this moment, Yang Mi, with her bottom sticking out and a look of enjoyment on her face, said coquettishly, "It's almost lunchtime, so have lunch with me first, okay? We can have hot pot for lunch!"
"I haven't fed you enough yet. I can't at noon today. I have an appointment with Wang Changtian from Enlight Media to urge him to send his share of the box office revenue. We also have the 'Weibo Night' event in a few days, so I can spend more time with you then."
Lin Feng didn't know why, but he felt guilty when he lied to Deng Shuang, but he could lie to Yang Mi without even thinking. Perhaps it was because Deng Shuang was too naive.
"Okay, then I won't keep you from your business!" As Yang Mi said this, she slightly stuck out her pert buttocks. Lin Feng understood and gave her another slap.
On his way back, Lin Feng heard the familiar "ding" of the system settlement notification again. This time, he remembered that the movie "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen" had ended its run yesterday, with a final box office of 2.82 million yuan, more than double the 1.4 million yuan in his previous life.
The box office success of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" gave Lin Feng a strange sense of accomplishment. He was able to revive a flop movie from his previous life. Although only he knew about this, he was still quite pleased.
With this, all three of Lin Feng's films have been removed from streaming platforms, resulting in the following final outcome:
《失恋33天》票房4.76亿,2011年年度电影票房排行榜的第5名、国产电影第3名,因为《龙门飞甲》《金陵十三钗》上映,各下降了两名,仅次于《变形金刚3》10.7亿、《功夫熊猫2》6.11亿、《金陵十三钗》5.92亿、《龙门飞甲》
5.39 million;
"The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen" grossed 2.82 million yuan, ranking 8th in the 2011 annual box office chart and 4th among domestic films, second only to "The Flowers of War", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Love is Not Blind". In other words, two of the top five domestic films in 2011 were starring Lin Feng, which is indeed a remarkable achievement.
Moreover, "Buddha Mountain" grossed 1.52 million yuan at the beginning of the year, ranking 21st in the annual box office rankings for 2011 and 12th among domestic films, dropping two places.
Thinking of the system reward, Lin Feng quickly opened the system to check:
[Work: The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen]
"Production Quality": 3.5 stars; The non-linear narrative and suspenseful setting are groundbreaking, the actors' performances are excellent, and the war scenes are grand, but the excessive adaptation of history has caused controversy and weakened the sense of historical weight.
"Production Revenue": 3.5 stars; with a production cost of 7000 million, it achieved a box office of 2.82 million, which is a decent return on investment.
Awards: No awards yet (no comment).
"Impact": 3.5 stars; It generated some social response and sparked a debate among viewers about historical authenticity and artistic adaptation, but it did not truly become a sustained social topic.
"Personal Contribution": 3 stars; an important male lead.
"Final Rating": Initial rating 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars (0.5 stars premium), final rating 4 stars (actor category).
Four stars in the end is not bad. After all, apart from broadening Lin Feng's acting skills, "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" doesn't have anything particularly outstanding in other aspects, and it even earned an extra 0.5 stars from the system.
With the remaining 1 star in the actor category and 3 stars in the director category, Lin Feng now has 5 stars in the actor category and 3 stars in the director category, which is quite a good result.
Lin Feng hasn't decided yet whether to spend 5 stars to draw a new "Gold Card" or spend 3 stars to use the "Actor Trial Card" again.
Let's put it aside for now. There's no rush. Lin Feng needs to hurry back to have dinner with Deng Shuang, and he wants to eat his favorite hot pot in the winter.
As soon as Lin Feng arrived at his doorstep, before he could even knock, Deng Shuang, wearing a light blue plaid apron, opened the door from the inside and said, "You're back." Then, like a dutiful wife, she helped Lin Feng take off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
When Lin Feng entered the room, he saw that a steaming hot pot had already been set on the dining table. In addition to the hot pot in the center, fresh lamb rolls, shrimp paste, vegetable platters, and mushroom platters were also set out on the sides. Even the dipping sauces were laid out neatly.
"Wow, you've done it all! Did you do all of this by yourself? My Xiaoshuang is amazing!" Lin Feng could imagine how hard it must have been for Deng Shuang to be home alone.
"I didn't have much to do this morning, so I started getting busy after you left. Is it alright? We can start cooking right away. Oh, and I've prepared the dipping sauce for you—it's double sesame paste. Didn't you say you liked it thicker?"
"My Xiaoshuang is so good, she really has the potential to be a virtuous wife and loving mother!" Lin Feng gave Deng Shuang a kiss. He didn't expect her to remember everything, even Lin Feng's preferences. Deng Shuang returned the kiss and then said softly, "Stop fooling around, the pot is boiling."
"Let's start with your favorite fresh lamb slices. I had them specially made; look how beautiful the color is!" Deng Shuang said, placing the fresh lamb slices one by one into the pot. Soon, the slices curled up into little waves as they heated up. Lin Feng's eyes lit up; he was genuinely hungry. "This lamb looks amazing, the color is so beautiful, it must taste delicious." But as soon as the slices changed color, he couldn't wait any longer. "Is it cooked? Can we eat it now?"
Deng Shuang smiled and stopped him, "Don't you like it tough? Don't be in such a hurry. You can't rush things, and you certainly can't eat good mutton. Wait a little longer, and it will be tender and bouncy."
Once the mutton had completely changed color, Lin Feng picked up a slice, dipped it in the sauce, and popped it into his mouth. "So delicious! I think it's even better than Haidilao! My Xiaoshuang is such a good cook!"
"If it's delicious, eat more. We have plenty of mutton, there's still some in the fridge. I bought extra!" Deng Shuang said as she picked up some mutton from the pot and gave it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng ate several slices of mutton before realizing he'd only eaten himself and Deng Shuang hadn't touched any. "Don't worry about me, get some for yourself! Even your fans think you're too thin and need to eat more meat to get some nutrition!"
"I enjoy watching you eat, seeing you enjoy it so much makes me happy."
Seeing that Deng Shuang was still picking at her food, Lin Feng picked up a piece of mutton, blew on it, and held it to Deng Shuang's mouth, saying, "Open your mouth~"
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty!"
The two smiled at each other through the rising steam, then fed each other a bite, and finally kissed, their shadows merging together in the warm light of the hot pot.
Even Lin Feng, after finishing his meal, couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, there's nothing more comforting than eating hot pot in winter! If there is, it's eating hot pot with your loved one! It's so awesome!"
"Let's continue another time!"
After eating and drinking to one's heart's content, it's time to sleep. Moreover, Lin Feng has a habit of taking a nap at noon. Even if he is very busy with work, he usually sets aside half an hour for rest at noon, unless there is no other choice.
Today was a rare day off for Lin Feng. When he woke up from his afternoon nap, Deng Shuang had just brewed tea for him and handed it directly to him, saying, "It's freshly brewed, the first pot."
After drinking a cup of tea, Lin Feng instantly sobered up. He was growing to like Deng Shuang more and more. How come he hadn't noticed Deng Shuang's good qualities earlier? His prejudice in his past life was too severe.
With nothing much to do at home, Lin Feng suggested, "Xiao Shuang, my fans gave me a lot of gifts. Let's open my birthday presents this afternoon."
"Great! I love unwrapping presents!"
Then Deng Shuang found some scissors and sat down on the sofa with Lin Feng to unpack the gifts together. As they unpacked, they said, "When we move to our new house, let's set aside a room specifically for storing fan gifts."
"Okay, sure."
Lin Feng opened the first gift, a glass jar filled with small stars. Before Lin Feng could understand what was going on, Deng Shuang opened one of the stars, which read, "Lin Feng, I like you!"
So many little paper stars, all covered with this sentence, deeply moved Lin Feng. He also found a note that read, "999 little stars in total. Lin Feng, I like you. You are the brightest star. I hope you like this gift!"
Even Deng Shuang, who was standing next to her, was moved and said, "Your fans are so kind!"
The second gift was a handmade felted wool miniature of Lin Feng, modeled after his look in "Meteor Shower," with "Happy 23rd Birthday Lin Feng!" sewn onto the corner of his clothes.
There was also a note next to it with a fan's message: "This is my first time making felted wool, and I pricked my hand seven times with the needle—but the thought that you can touch it makes it all worthwhile!"
"I love this gift! It's designed like your Meteor Shower, it's quite similar!" Deng Shuang said, pointing.
The third gift was a photo album filled with classic stills from Lin Feng's various dramas, arranged chronologically, like a memoir about Lin Feng.
Deng Shuang looks at Lin Feng's stills from "Meteor Shower" the most. "I'm in this photo too! But you didn't even glance at him back then."
Deng Shuang sounded a little resentful when she said that.
"I didn't know how good you were back then, but now I like Xiao Shuang the most. And my favorite birthday gift is still this watch in my hand. I will wear it forever because it was given to me by my favorite person."
Lin Feng's sweet words earned him another big kiss from Deng Shuang. Later, when they were unwrapping gifts, the two shared another kiss. Time flew by.
With so many birthday gifts, Lin Feng and his team hadn't even finished disassembling the car, so they had to leave them for later. However, Lin Feng also posted on Weibo again to show off the birthday gifts from his fans. He also wrote many replies and signed photos.
That night, Lin Feng wanted to make love with Deng Shuang, but she got her period. Helpless, Lin Feng held Deng Shuang and slept through the night. It was a rare opportunity for Lin Feng to take care of Deng Shuang, making brown sugar ginger water and warming her stomach. This made Lin Feng even more touched by Deng Shuang.
Lin Feng slept soundly while holding Deng Shuang. What made him even happier was that the next morning, he received a message from Wang Changtian informing him that the box office revenue from "Love is Not Blind" had finally arrived.
