Chapter 45: Training in Progress
Two hours later, the barrier between the two completely disappeared.
At this moment, Deng Shuang lay on Lin Feng's chest, and the two began to talk and confide in each other.
"Lin Feng, there's something I've always wanted to ask you: why did you keep rejecting me before? Was it because if you hadn't been sick that time, we would never have been together?"
"Actually, I quite like you too. You're so innocent and beautiful, and so many people like you, including me. But the reason I rejected you is mostly because you're too naive and too straightforward, sometimes too blunt in your speech."
We public figures are too prone to emotional outbursts. While such behavior might initially attract attention and generate buzz, it can easily lead to controversy in the long run.
Furthermore, as public figures, we have a certain role model to play, so we must learn to spread positive energy, say more positive things, and do more positive things.
Becoming famous too early isn't necessarily a good thing. You haven't experienced enough of the complexities of human relationships and the various aspects of life, so sometimes you might not be able to discern things clearly.
You! Whatever you do in the future, you need to learn about interpersonal relationships and respect others, especially on set. You need to cultivate good relationships and stop being self-centered. Learn to be considerate of others!
Lin Feng rattled off a lot, afraid that Deng Shuang wouldn't understand. He wanted to be as specific as possible about her current job. "By the way, what kind of show are you acting in now?" Deng Shuang seemed to have mentioned it before, but Lin Feng had forgotten and couldn't remember.
"You don't even know what kind of roles I play, I don't like you anymore!" Deng Shuang pouted.
"Before we were together, of course I didn't pay attention to you. Are you only just starting to notice me now? Focus on your acting, and I'll help you out!"
"That's more like it. The crew of 'Painted Skin,' which I'm currently filming, has been incredibly kind to me. They even celebrated my birthday today, especially the director, Chen Jiashang, who has been so good to me!"
He cast me directly. I just auditioned casually, and he picked me at first glance. This is my first period drama role. I'm so beautiful! I really want you to see me. The director even said I'm like a fairy!
Deng Shuang has played three roles in her life, which are also her three favorite roles: "Chu Yuxun" in "Meteor Shower", "Peony" in "Painted Skin", and "Bei Weiwei" in "Love O2O". She has already played two of them.
"Chen Jiashang is a very good person, and he has indeed been very good to you. You should listen to him and learn from him. Don't forget the favor he did for you."
If we're talking about the entire entertainment industry, the one who has remained consistently devoted to Deng Shuang is definitely Chen Jiashang. He must really like Deng Shuang; in his past life, Chen Jiashang would send her birthday wishes every year on her birthday.
Even after Deng Shuang's scandal broke, he was the only one who continued to send her birthday wishes every year. At least until 2025, when Lin Feng was reborn, he was still sending Deng Shuang birthday wishes.
"It's the fairy's birthday again. Correct your mistakes quickly, don't give up on the positive because of a little setback, and keep striving forward!"
"My little fairy, it's your birthday again. I wonder how you've been lately, but I can't forget to send you my annual blessings!"
"I don't know where you are, but I still want to send you my best wishes. Stay positive, stay optimistic, and have a happy birthday!"
Therefore, Deng Shuang needs to learn gratitude, kindness, and consideration for others; this training is ongoing...
"No, Lin Feng, is that why you rejected me? If you had found this for me, I would have changed it sooner!" Deng Shuang was very confused.
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I think you're a 'mama's girl,' too dependent on your parents. I see you call home every day, and you ask your parents for their opinions on everything you do."
Of course, I'm not saying what you're doing is bad; it's good to consult your parents on some things. But I feel that many of the things you're doing are more like arrangements made for you by your parents than your own choices! You understand what I mean, right?
"I understand. Actually, my mother nurtured my ability to study art and become an actor. She didn't have the opportunity or the means when she was young, so she hoped that I could fulfill her dream!"
So she enrolled me in many classes from a young age—dance, piano, acting. I participated in many competitions and won many awards. I didn't understand anything, and I didn't know whether I was happy or not.
Including my later participation in the art exams, getting into the Yenching Film Academy, and taking on the role in "Meteor Shower," many of these choices were indeed made for me by my mother.
Why was Deng Shuang able to be admitted to the three major art colleges of Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama and Shanghai Theatre Academy at the same time when she took the art exam at the age of 16? This is definitely inseparable from her mother's more than ten years of military-style management.
"I'm not saying your parents are bad. What parent in the world doesn't love their child? I'm just saying they've interfered in your life too much and made many decisions for you that they shouldn't have made."
Now that you're grown up, you need to learn to make your own decisions and not let your parents become your shackles. Right now, you're with EE-Media and your agency is spoiling you, but what will you do when you become independent and no one is there to care for you? You can't just keep listening to your parents, can you?
You need to learn to separate work and family. Don't let your parents get involved in your work; leave professional matters to professionals! Do you understand?
Lin Feng put it rather euphemistically, but in reality, all of Deng Shuang's later baffling behavior was caused by her parents. If only she could have been born into a normal family like Lin Feng's.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, but I know you're doing this for my own good! I'll just listen to you from now on, that's all! Haha! I'm so smart!" Deng Shuang found her solution.
"If I disagree with your parents in the future, whose opinion will you listen to?"
"I'll listen to you! Because you understand!" Deng Shuang said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, right! But next time you need to react faster, and don't give an excuse."
"Okay, then I'll do whatever you say from now on!"
"Then I'll give you your first task: never bring your parents on TV!"
If Deng Shuang hadn't frequently brought her parents on TV shows in her past life, or even appeared on shows with them in tandem, there wouldn't have been so many controversial behaviors and incidents, eroding so much public trust.
At the same time, this move gave her parents a taste of what it's like to be a star, and they also regarded Deng Shuang as a "tool to realize their dreams." Moreover, they said too many things they shouldn't have said, and all of these consequences were ultimately attributed to Deng Shuang.
"Why can't my parents appear on the show?"
"Because of their personalities, they are not suitable for appearing on TV shows. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, you will ultimately have to bear the consequences. Since that's the case, then we won't let them appear."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. We won't let them appear on the show anymore!"
Further training is underway...
"Lin Feng, from now on I'll listen to you in everything, but you have to swear you'll never leave me. I don't know what I'll do if we break up!"
Lin Feng then realized that Deng Shuang was completely love-struck; she could get plastic surgery for love, and she could refuse to film kissing scenes, hugging scenes, or intimate scenes for love—purely love-struck.
Lin Feng realized that even if he solved Deng Shuang's emotional issues and her views on parents, he still had to personally deal with her "love-crazed" mindset. "Don't worry, I won't leave you."
"So, can you still listen to me now? I want more!"
"Um... I'm a little tired! Besides, isn't this your first time?"
"No, I really want it!"
"Alright then!"
Now who's training whom? Could this be considered counter-training?
