Chapter 158 Outstanding Graduates

No matter how the attitudes of Lin Feng's relatives and friends changed, the only thing that remained unchanged was his attitude towards Lin Feng.
It was probably Lin Feng's parents. Not only had they not changed, they were even more cautious than before.

Lin's mother called. As soon as the call was connected, Lin's mother's unique caring voice came.
"Xiao Feng, your movie 'Charlotte's Troubles' is very popular now. Your dad and I went to the cinema to watch it. There were so many people that we almost couldn't buy tickets.

Well, your movie is pretty good. Your dad and I laughed so many times. I didn’t expect you to have such a talent for comedy!"

Lin Feng rarely relaxes because of his parents' concern. Just when Lin Feng wanted to say something, he heard his father's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry about these things. If you can find something useful to say, ask the kid if it's true that he collaborated with Stephen Chow on a movie. Ask him for an autograph or something!"

"Hmph, I'm talking to my son, why do you mind? If you have the guts, just fight yourself. You're chasing stars and letting others talk. Why don't you talk to your child yourself?"

Mother Lin gave Father Lin a blank look, but also asked, "By the way, son, is it true that the media reported that you and Zhou Xingxing were working together a few days ago?

Your dad is a fan of Stephen Chow, can you ask for an autograph or something? It would be even better if you can meet your dad and take a photo with him when you are filming a movie."

"Ah, Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've already rejected Zhou Xingxing. It's not good to ask for his autograph again."

"It's okay. I don't know when your dad suddenly became obsessed with chasing stars. You don't have to care about him. And it doesn't matter if we are rejected. Just wait for the next opportunity!" Mother Lin also comforted Lin Feng.

"Mom, you heard me wrong this time. I was the one who rejected Zhou Xingxing, not Zhou Xingxing who rejected me. Do you understand?"

"What? You even rejected Stephen Chow!" Lin's mother exclaimed. Because of Lin Feng, she had done a lot of research on the entertainment industry and knew Stephen Chow's status in the industry.

And even Lin's mother, who didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, knew Stephen Chow and had seen many of his movies.

Even the voice of Lin's father talking to Lin's mother could be heard through the phone, "What is this child thinking? He even rejected Zhou Xingxing. He should not be so arrogant! You should say a few more words to him on the phone! Don't get cocky!"

"Son, your father is right about this. You are famous now, but becoming famous too quickly is not necessarily a good thing. You must not be arrogant. You must be humble and cautious!"

"Mom, I understand what you mean. I speak with my works. Actually, I rejected Zhou Xingxing for no other reason.
It's purely a script issue, and I rejected it very politely, so it's fine. Besides, your son is no longer an ordinary person. "Lin Feng explained,
"Okay, as long as you understand. You're grown up now and you're powerful. Your parents can't help you much. The most they can do is remind you. You have to be careful when you're outside."

"Well, okay, Mom, you've done enough, just rest assured from now on."

Before, Lin Feng didn’t like chatting with his parents very much. Now after his rebirth, Lin Feng likes chatting with his parents the most. Even if it is some trivial local dialect, it can make Lin Feng relax a lot.

"By the way, son, there have been two or three waves of reporters coming to interview us in the past few days. Your father and I were afraid that we might say the wrong thing and cause you more trouble, so we refused. Is that okay?"

"Ah, didn't you move into a new community? Isn't the property management of the community very strict? How could a paparazzi get in?"

"They don't come into the community, they wait at the gate of the community. Sometimes they even come to where your father and I work and wait. It's really annoying."

I didn’t expect that my success would bring so much trouble to my parents. I have a team here to help me deal with it, so I don’t need to worry about these things.

Those unscrupulous media couldn't interview me, so they harassed my parents instead. My parents are honest and decent people, so how could they refuse those unscrupulous media paparazzi?

"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that I would cause trouble for you. From now on, you don't have to pay attention to these unscrupulous journalists and media. Just do what you have to do. Don't worry about me. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it.

Moreover, I speak with my works. Those unscrupulous media journalists and paparazzi pose no threat to me. You don’t have to take them seriously.

If there is really an official media interviewing you, I will definitely greet you in advance and make arrangements, so you don’t have to worry about this or that!
How about I hire some bodyguards for you, so they don't harass you all the time in the future."

"It's not a big deal, just a little troublesome. No need for bodyguards. We are not you. It's just a few times recently. I think it will be fine in the future.
You succeeded, we are so happy, and the paparazzi came to your door, which shows that you are great, and we are happy too.

You don't have to worry about it. Your father and I will take care of it. Just focus on your work."

In fact, Lin's mother now knows a little bit about the entertainment industry. After all, Lin Feng is in the same field, so she would pay attention to him whenever she has time.

There are also a lot of news about the entertainment industry, but Lin Feng's rise was too fast, and Lin's mother and others have not yet adapted to it.

Finally, Lin's mother asked, "Xiao Feng, our new house in our hometown has been renovated for a long time, and you haven't been home this year. When will you come back? Come home and visit if you have nothing to do!"

"I will definitely go back to see you after I finish this, but I've been in a lot of trouble lately. I have a full schedule of work and I can't turn it down. Besides, I've also joined another group while I'm busy.

But I have already discussed with the team that I will take a good rest after finishing the filming of "Zhu Xian". Then I can spend more time with you guys and travel around with you.

Yes, Mom, you guys can come to BJ whenever you want. I can’t live in such a big room by myself.

Well, if you don’t like buildings, I will buy a villa in BJ after a while and let you two live there. You can plant flowers and vegetables in the yard when you have nothing to do.”

Although buying a house is a small matter for Lin Feng now, it is a big deal for Lin's mother and others!

As expected, Lin's mother was frightened and exclaimed, "What? You want to buy a house in Yanjing again.
I heard that houses in Yanjing are very expensive, and one square meter can cost over 100,000 yuan. You still want to buy a villa, where do you get so much money?"

"Oh, this, Mom, didn't I tell you that your son is making a lot of money now? I earn a lot of money from advertising endorsements alone in a year.

Besides, I can earn at least 5000 million from this movie "Charlotte's Troubles" alone." Lin Feng said with a bit of a show-off attitude.

"5000 million, is that so much?" Mother Lin exclaimed again.

"It's a bit much, because the contract I signed is for a 10% share of the box office, and now the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" has exceeded 15 billion,

With the current box office, I can get 5000 million, not to mention that the subsequent box office will continue to increase, and it will only be more."

"Ah, being a star is so profitable! You can earn so much from just one movie, it's really amazing!
Hey, that's not right. If you get 10% of the box office share and the box office is 15 billion, shouldn't it be 1.5 million? How come it's 5000 million?"

"Oh, about this. Generally speaking, the box office share in the industry refers to the box office revenue that the producer can obtain. If it is a pure box office share, it is definitely impossible. That would mean stealing business from the cinema chains.

In the industry, producers generally get 35%, which is 15% of 35 billion, multiplied by 10%, which is 5250 million. However, this still needs to pay taxes and so on, so the final amount will definitely not be that much. "

"This is more than enough. How much more do you want? It's just that your money comes too quickly." Mother Lin muttered.

Although Lin's mother understood Lin Feng's explanation, she found that she couldn't keep up with Lin Feng's changes, and she hadn't made as much money as Lin Feng did now. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm not doing anything bad. I pay taxes according to regulations. This money is legal. You can spend it boldly when the time comes."

"I'm not saying that your money is illegal. We definitely can't do that. I just think you're making money too quickly and too easily.
For an enterprise as big as ours, which employs so many people, how much money can you make in a whole year?

And you can get so much money just by making a movie. This is not right. How should I put it? It's a bit hot to the touch!"

"Who can guarantee that every movie will be a big hit at the box office? There are many that have lost a lot of money. Mine was just a coincidence.
But I understand what you mean. Do you think I am capable of making some contribution to society now?

Don't worry about that. I'll arrange it right away. I didn't have the money or the ability to do it before, so now it's time to do something more meaningful."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what I mean. Now that we have money, we should do good deeds. Only in this way can we bless you to continue to be popular."

"Well, I will do as you say and do something good to accumulate virtue. Thank you, mom, for reminding me, otherwise I really wouldn't have remembered it." Before hanging up the phone, Lin Feng also praised his mom.

But what Lin's mother said is right. It's time for Lin Feng to do some charity work, which will also establish a good image for the outside world.

Just when Lin Feng was about to call his agent, Wang Jinsong, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, also called Lin Feng personally.

This seemed to be the first time that Wang Jinsong, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, took the initiative to call Lin Feng.
When Lin Feng's "Gu Jian Qi Tan" became popular, teacher Wang Jinsong also praised Lin Feng in an interview.

This time the teacher took the initiative to call, and Lin Feng quickly picked up the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, teacher Wang Jinsong also said jokingly: "Lin Feng, it's not easy to call you now.
I just called you twice, and you were on both calls. It seems you are very busy right now. There must be a lot of people trying to get close to you!"

"Teacher, you are joking. I don't have anything to do! My mother just called me. We haven't talked for a long time, so we chatted for a while." Lin Feng explained hurriedly.

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Wang Jinsong was a little embarrassed and said, "Well, that's right. No matter what time it is, it's always right to call home more often and go home to visit when you have nothing to do."

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Wang Jinsong also mentioned Lin Feng's recently released movie "Charlotte's Troubles".
"I watched your movie "Charlotte's Troubles" which is now showing. It's really good. No wonder it has such a high box office.

And you acted very well, including the previous "Nirvana in Fire", which I also watched. Your current achievements have far exceeded the teacher's imagination. It's really amazing!"

In fact, ever since Lin Feng’s first hit with “Gu Jian Qi Tan”, Wang Jinsong knew that Lin Feng would be successful, otherwise he would not have praised him so much during the interview.

But Wang Jinsong really didn't expect that Lin Feng would be more successful in the future, and his current achievements really exceeded his imagination.
That's something a young actor should do, even actors who have been famous for many years can't do it.

The drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" made him a top star and opened up the "traffic era", which shocked everyone.

Then there were "Come on, Mr. Love", "The Journey of Flower", "Nirvana in Fire", and the movie "Charlotte's Troubles", which continued to soar, just like a rocket ascending to the sky.

Now, not to mention teacher Wang Jinsong, even the entire Yanjing Film Academy couldn't believe it. Whether it was teachers or students, the most talked about thing was the most popular Lin Feng.

A student who graduated just over a year ago has already achieved results that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime. The key is that Lin Feng is too young and too scary.

"Today I am proud of my school, and tomorrow the school will be proud of me." Lin Feng really did it.

In the past, Wang Jinsong treated Lin Feng as a junior and a student, but now even his attitude towards Lin Feng is equal.
Although the words are still the same, the tone and attitude are different. Everyone can hear and feel it.

"Teacher, I am able to achieve what I have now because of your support. Without your help, I would not be where I am today!"

Lin Feng said gratefully that during college, even though Lin Feng had no talent for acting, Teacher Wang Jinsong did take good care of him.
Otherwise, his theoretical knowledge would not be so solid. Only after the experience of rebirth could he quickly integrate these things and make rapid progress in his acting skills.

"Forget it. Without me, you will definitely succeed. After all, acting is something that depends more on your own understanding.
This time you performed very well in "Charlotte's Troubles". The teacher is very pleased to see your acting skills improve!"

Wang Jinsong said this sincerely. He did not take advantage of his status as a teacher to bully others. After all, Lin Feng was now a complete "apprentice".

"Teacher, you praise me so much, I don't know what to say. I will keep up the good work in the future." Lin Feng said a little embarrassedly.

"Very good, don't be arrogant, keep up the good work, the teacher is optimistic about you, maybe you will become the first actor in our class,

Well, if you want to take your acting skills to the next level, you can try acting in more profound films and TV series." Wang Jinsong suggested.

"Thank you, teacher. I have done this now and will work harder in the future." Lin Feng said.

"Well, that's right, keep working hard and strive to produce more and better works, so that I can be proud of it.

Okay, I won’t say any more. I’m calling you this time for something serious. This year is 2015, right?

Our Yenching Film Academy was founded in 1950. This year is the 65th anniversary of the school, which coincides with the 120th anniversary of the birth of world cinema and the 110th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema.

The school wants to make a big event and invite some "outstanding graduates" to come back to celebrate. You are now a representative of "outstanding graduates". The school also asked me to contact them for you in advance.
Your teacher has already promised the school, and you must have forgotten to attend. By the way, the date is October 10th. Don't forget it, I am counting on you to save my face now!"

"Oh, this year is the 65th anniversary of the school, that's a good thing! Teacher, I'm sure there will be no problem, I will definitely participate then, don't worry. Do you need me to do anything now?" Lin Feng assured.

"No need, nothing. It's good enough that you can come. Someone will contact you when the time comes.
For someone like you, there will definitely be someone in charge, who will send you a special invitation or something like that." Wang Jinsong also said.

"Are all of our classmates going? Will Li Xian, Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi and the others also go together? Let's get together then. Teacher, we haven't listened to your teachings for a long time!" Lin Feng suggested.

"Well, we should have a good reunion. Zhang Yishan and the others should come together. But I'm not sure about this.

Anyway, they can come if they want to, it’s mainly about you, the school specifically asked for it.” Wang Jinsong explained.

It turns out that the school also took a fancy to Lin Feng's popularity. It seems that no matter what, you should "judge a person by his appearance". If a person is very powerful, he will be treated differently no matter what he does.

Then Wang Jinsong chatted with Lin Feng for a few more words and hung up the phone.
