Chinese entertainment starts with idols

Chapter 27 I'm really looking forward to our kissing scene!

No matter how the entertainment industry changes, the "Four Dan and Two Bing" will always have a place, and Fan Binbin is undoubtedly the most talked-about and controversial one.

Moreover, compared to other leading actresses, Fan Binbin not only influenced the aesthetics of a generation but also paved a fashion path for those who followed.

To some extent, Fan Binbin and Liu Yifei represent two extremes of beauty in Chinese women. Fan Binbin is a glamorous and charming "glamorous" beauty with a strong aura, which has unified the aesthetic trend of "internet celebrity face".

At this moment, Fan Binbin is on the set of "Buddha Mountain". As the biggest star in the crew, she is the focus of attention wherever she goes. She has several assistants and a large group of media reporters following her. Wherever she goes, she becomes the center of attention!

"Sister Binbin, hello! I'm a huge fan of yours!"

In response to Lin Feng's praise, Fan Binbin politely replied, "Hello, Lin Feng, I know you. You're the most popular person lately. I heard that your fans almost demolished the hotel where the film crew stayed the other day."

Fan Binbin knows Lin Feng, not only because he's very popular lately, but also because he got a role in this art film.

It's already surprising enough that a young, promising actor like Fan Binbin would choose to star in an art-house film for his very first movie instead of establishing a solid fanbase.

What impressed Fan Binbin even more was that he, as the male lead, received high praise from director Li Yu—an incredible young man.

Having worked together for so many years, this was the first time she had ever seen Li Yu praise someone like this, especially a young man who was seven years younger than her. Was his acting really that good?

"You know about this, which makes me a little embarrassed."

"Since you said 'you are my fan,' which of my works do you like the most?"

"Uh..." Lin Feng suddenly couldn't remember, and the image of "Jin Suo" flashed through his mind.

"Are you referring to 'My Fair Princess'?"

"No, Sister Binbin, I meant Jin Suo, haha!"

"..." Fan Binbin pretended to be angry and glared at Lin Feng.

"Just kidding. I think your best work is 'Buddha Mountain.' Let's work together to make it a great film and make it your masterpiece."

"You're good with words, kid. But can your acting skills match your smooth talk? Do you even have any real talent?"

The very next day, in the first scene of "Buddha Mountain," Fan Binbin witnessed Lin Feng's acting skills firsthand.

This is a bar scene, and it's also the first appearance of the "three-person team" of confused young people Lin Feng, Fan Binbin, and Fei Long from "Buddha Mountain".

On set, Fan Binbin, who plays the female lead "Nanfeng," sported a rebellious look with black nail polish, punk accessories, ripped fishnet stockings, and military boots, singing in a bar.

At this moment, when Lin Feng's character "Ding Bo" entered, his beard disheveled, smoking, and wearing a blue striped vest with two straps...

Fan Binbin didn't recognize him at all and thought he was just an extra. It wasn't until Fei Long followed behind him that Fan Binbin realized it was Lin Feng.

Because Fan Binbin focused too much on Lin Feng, she didn't realize what was happening and ended up doing a NG (outtake). "Sorry, I was distracted."

The reason Fan Binbin was able to recognize Lin Feng was not because of him, but because of Fei Long. After all, Fei Long was a very fat man, weighing over 250 pounds. It is estimated that the combined weight of Lin Feng and Fan Binbin is less than that of him alone.

Yesterday, Lin Feng was clean-cut, sunny, and handsome; now, he's disheveled,颓废, and lost—they're practically two different people. No wonder Li Yu speaks highly of him; he certainly has some talent.

Filming continued smoothly this time, but then Fan Binbin accidentally knocked a guest's microphone off, causing a conflict. Lin Feng and Fei Long, Fan Binbin's two friends, stood up to defend him and started arguing back, while Fan Binbin tried to break up the fight.

Lin Feng's fluent Sichuan dialect surprised Fan Binbin once again. Then, she forgot her lines again, so she had to do another take. This was the second time.

Fan Binbin was a little embarrassed because she had to do two takes in a row. After all, she is a veteran actress, and it was indeed a bit unfair that she had to do both takes.

"Sorry for taking up everyone's time, but tonight it's on me. You can drink as much as you want after filming is over," Fan Binbin said generously.

This is Chengdu's most luxurious bar, which has been booked by a film crew. With the recent hot weather and the infamous "Indian summer," the crew members and extras often drink beer here to cool off, consuming nearly a thousand bottles of beer a night.

Although Fan Binbin didn't care about the money, she was still a little embarrassed because Lin Feng made two consecutive mistakes. Fortunately, she didn't make any more mistakes afterward.

After filming wrapped, Fan Binbin approached Lin Feng, her eyes full of admiration, and praised him, "Lin Feng, let's have a couple of drinks. I underestimated you; your acting is really good!"

"Sister Binbin, have a couple of drinks, but I can't hold my liquor. I can only manage two bottles of beer at most. Feilong can, though. He drank 12 bottles of beer by himself that day."

Lin Feng and Fei Long have a very good relationship in private. Lin Feng often teases Fei Long for "stealing" his lunchbox. Fei Long's alcohol tolerance is indeed amazing. In one scene, he drank twelve bottles of beer in a row, but vomited immediately after filming, which became a laughing stock on the set.

"A man can't say no. Besides, how can you attend any dinner or drinking party without drinking? How can you get resources without drinking? Moreover, China is a society based on personal connections, and many resources are negotiated over drinks."

Moreover, actors are in a very passive role; they are the ones being chosen. It's not just me; even Gong Li was chosen. This is the professional nature of our industry.

You have to wait for a good director, a good script, and for the right timing, location, and people. Like this film, *Buddha Mountain*, I could play the role, or someone else could play it. Anyway, in this industry, there are always people who are a good match for you and can compete with you.

Fan Binbin liked Lin Feng very much, and he kindly said a few more words to him. Moreover, it's not just in the entertainment industry, but in any circle. As long as you're in China's society where personal connections matter, Lin Feng's experience in his previous life proves that you can't get by without resources and connections.

Lin Feng's current success is largely due to the strong support from Tianyu Media and Mango TV. Otherwise, how could a single drama like "Meteor Shower" have generated such a huge buzz? Even if the drama were broadcast on other TV stations, it might not have achieved the same effect.

"Thank you, Sister Binbin. You acted very well. I think you did a great job in this drama. Maybe it will bring you an acting award." Lin Feng said gratefully.

Fan Binbin smiled, a hint of allure flashing in her eyes, and teased, "My dear little brother, you're so good with words. You're tall, handsome, and understanding. No wonder so many girls like you. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely pursue you too."

Lin Feng was equally unyielding, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he teased, "Haha, I should say, if I were a few years older, I would definitely pursue you too, sister."

At this moment, an ambiguous atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.

Women vs. Men

Teasing vs. flirting

Like masters exchanging blows, it's a back-and-forth, neither giving an inch—this is the tug-of-war between the "Queen of the Sea" and the "King of the Sea."

Fan Binbin hasn't seen such an interesting young man in a long time. He is young and energetic yet mature and steady, sunny and handsome yet melancholic and confused, cool and noble yet innocent and beautiful. He can perfectly blend such a variety of contradictory qualities, which is very attractive!

"Lin Feng, I'm getting more and more interested in you. I'm really looking forward to our kissing scene. I hope we can have a good 'training session' then!"

"I'm really looking forward to it, it'll be really nice. I'll chew gum beforehand."

Finally, Fan Binbin gently approached Lin Feng, reached out and touched his cheek, saying seductively, "Nice skin, very smooth! Goodnight, my little brother Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng felt a jolt of electricity run through his body. Without backing down, he turned his head and brought his mouth close to Fan Binbin's left ear, gently blowing a breath inside, and whispered, "Goodnight, my Binbin sister."
