Chinese entertainment starts with idols

Chapter 51 is a bit embarrassing for Mango.

"Are all these fans detectives? How did they manage to find out?"

Are Lin Feng and Deng Shuang actually together? Didn't Lin Feng previously say they were just friends?

"I think they should be together. I really ship them as a couple, and I hope they can get together."

"Look at the way Deng Shuang looks at Lin Feng, that classic 'waiting-for-her-husband' gaze. I dare say they're definitely together!"

"No, Lin Feng belongs to me alone! I object! They can't be together. Only I am worthy of Lin Feng!"

"I object too! Chu Yuxun is mine, Lin Feng can go play somewhere else!"

At this point, Lin Feng could only bury his head in the sand again, letting all this information drown out. But should he delete this photo? Deleting it would be a bad idea, like "protesting too much," but not deleting it would also be a bad idea, as people would keep talking about it all day long.

However, Lin Feng eventually deleted it. Although the internet has a memory, he deleted as much as he could, because later fans might not know about it!

I just don't know when they were able to be together openly!

Fortunately, on the first day of 2011, Lin Feng still heard that familiar "ding!" system settlement sound.

[Work: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky]

"Quality of the work": 5 stars; Using "star" as an image and "hope" as its core, it constructs a unique emotional coordinate system and is one of the few excellent works in the Chinese music scene that gives people strength.

"Popularity of the work": 5 stars; ranked first in play count on various music platforms.

"Personal Contribution": 5 stars; lyricist, composer and singer.

Final rating: 5 stars;

Not bad, not bad. This time it's a full 5 stars. This is the first time Lin Feng has gotten so many stars. He can go on the lottery again.

At this point, Lin Feng has two choices: one is to draw a "music skill card", and the other is to draw a "general skill card", both of which are gold cards.

If Lin Feng plans to continue singing, then "music skill cards" are definitely the way to go; if he wants to pursue acting or other professions, then "general skill cards" will undoubtedly be more beneficial.

Lin Feng thought about it for a moment and decided that he would definitely continue to focus on acting in the future. However, he found that singers seemed to earn stars faster. He could start by drawing "music skill cards" and then gradually use them to improve other skills later.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng also pressed the lottery button. However, this time the system did not give three options again, and directly selected "Singing Skills Card": which can improve singing skills such as breathing control, vocalization method, and resonance application by 0-20%.

This system is quite complicated. It seems that apart from the first relatively important prize, the subsequent prizes are all randomly selected!

However, this skill is also good and suits Lin Feng well now. He will be more adept at singing in the future.

The immense popularity of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" has even caught the attention of Long Danni. She hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so talented, a singer-songwriter at that; she hadn't realized he had this talent before.

The key is that Lin Feng still doesn't quite understand anything. How did this "talent" suddenly appear overnight? She even started to examine the economic contract she signed with Lin Feng back then, which didn't include copyright. Could Lin Feng really see that far ahead?

That's a bit freakish!

The key issue is that Long Danni feels she can no longer control Lin Feng. He doesn't listen to her commands in many things, as if he has never listened to her at all. He took on the role in "Buddha Mountain" on his own, and there's also his relationship with Deng Shuang—one minute they're vowing never to see each other again, and the next they're inseparable.

Long Danni tolerated all of this, but she couldn't stand that Lin Feng had refused the variety show "Super Sunday," which involved a strategic issue for Hunan TV.

Hunan TV is preparing to create a three-pronged approach to prime-time programming on weekends: Friday's "Day Day Up," Saturday's "Happy Camp," and Sunday's "Power Sunday." The "Power Boys" are expected to become the third ace hosting group after the "Happy Family" and "Day Day Brothers."

But Lin Feng surprisingly refused, and his reason was simple: "I'm an actor, I can't have too much exposure, and I'm not suitable for variety shows." Such a simple reason.

Long Danni was furious. She had never liked disobedient artists. In the past, Lin Feng had occasionally gone astray, but he knew his limits, and since the outcome was good, she had tolerated it.

But Lin Feng went a bit too far this time. The variety show "Super Sunday" is not only a matter for Tianyu Media, but also for Mango TV. No matter how Long Danni tried to persuade him, it was no use!

"《Power Sunday》 was specially created for you H4! Without you as the male lead, how can it still be H4?!"

"Haoming is currently hospitalized with burns, so he definitely can't participate. It's no longer H4, so losing one of me won't make a difference. Besides, we have so many artists at Tianyu Media. Su Xing has great hosting talent, and Lu Hu is pretty good too. Why not give them a chance?"

The hierarchy among artists at EE-Media is too severe. Some are extremely busy, practically working themselves to the bone; while others are incredibly idle, receiving absolutely no resources! The competition is also fierce.

"They lack popularity and buzz; they can't carry this show! Lin Feng, you need to understand how you got to where you are now. The company needs your help to make a splash, how can you still refuse!"

Just like with "Buddha Mountain," Long Danni shouldn't have used the company to pressure Lin Feng, because Lin Feng also made money for Tianyu Media; they were even.

Besides, if Lin Feng's career develops well, Tianyu will earn even more, but Lin Feng remains unmoved. In fact, Long Danni might be more likely to sway Lin Feng with personal feelings!

"Mr. Long, I really don't like it. How about this: I can be a guest for one or two episodes, but I definitely won't be a regular cast member!"

Lin Feng made some concessions; he could fly, but he would never be a permanent resident. Except for pure comedians like Shen Teng, it would be jarring for a permanent resident variety show to then act at the end.

Of course, besides these, it seems that the format of "Super Sunday" is not innovative enough and the ratings are not good. It only aired for one season, so Lin Feng didn't need to participate. Anyway, there are plenty of artists in Tianyu Media.

But Long Danni didn't accept this. She felt that Lin Feng had gone too far and she was prepared to teach him a lesson and put him out of the picture first.

Lin Feng doesn't care. He wants to rest recently. As for Long Danni teaching him a lesson and "cooling him off," it's probably just "cooling him off." After all, Tianyu Entertainment still relies on him to make money. Besides, Lin Feng's "Palace" is about to be broadcast, and at that time, Long Danni won't be able to make the decisions.

If we're talking about Tianyu Media that really wants Lin Feng to "fail," it's probably only Zhang Han. He hates Lin Feng for taking his leading role and even more for taking his girlfriend Deng Shuang. These roles should have belonged to him, but they all ended up with Lin Feng.

Zhang Han still has a chance to turn things around, namely the romantic idol drama "Fall in Love with You by Accident", which he starred in and which aired before "Palace". This is his best chance to prove himself.

In order to achieve good results, Zhang Han did a lot of promotion for "I Accidentally Fell in Love with You". He appeared on "Happy Camp", and he and the female lead Jiang Kaitong had a rumor about their "first kiss". They also sang the theme song "I Accidentally Fell in Love with You" together at the New Year's Eve gala.

The only problem is that the ratings for "Fall in Love with You by Accident" just won't go up. On its premiere day, January 14th, the ratings were only 1.28%, and the market share was only 5.66%. Even so, it was still the number one show in its time slot.

However, since Anhui TV's "Summer's Desire" aired on January 22, "Fall in Love with You by Accident" has only been able to rank second in its time slot, which is a bit of a disgrace to Hunan TV.

The failed ascension had already frustrated Zhang Han, but the comments from many netizens were even more devastating, practically killing him with their spirit!

"This plot is so clichéd, exactly the same as 'Autumn in My Heart' from ten years ago. They're trying to fool today's audiences!"

"Actually, if the male and female leads of this drama were replaced with Lin Feng and Deng Shuang, the ratings would definitely be just as good!"

"Zhang Han is no good; he can't play a lead role, he's not handsome at all. The female lead isn't pretty either; she looks okay when she's still, but when she moves, her big round face is really distracting! If it were Lin Feng or Deng Shuang, there wouldn't be any of these problems!"

"When will Raymond Lam and Deng Shuang collaborate again? They're so perfect for idol dramas, they have such great chemistry!"

Ultimately, "Fall in Love with You by Accident" achieved an average viewership rating of 1.42% and a market share of only 6.64%, firmly ranking second in its time slot. It was consistently overshadowed by "Summer's Desire," which was indeed a bit of a disgrace to Hunan TV.

It was at this time, on January 31, the third day before the Lunar New Year, that "Palace" premiered on Hunan TV.
