Chapter 171: Prepare to Fail
Lin Feng and Lu Han are recognized as the two top stars in this "traffic era", especially Lin Feng, who is a "top star with a huge gap". Lin Feng's number of fans is approaching 3600 million.
Lu Han is second only to Lin Feng, with 1800 million fans, 1400 million more than Wu Qian who returned to China earlier than him. As for the other top stars, they are still in the tens of millions.
The simultaneous appearance of these two top stars was definitely very eye-catching. No one expected that the two top stars would be on the same stage at this moment.

Especially when Lin Feng and Lu Han came on stage at the same time, the fans were completely excited. It was not as excited as when all the members of "I Am a Witness" came on stage to express their gratitude just now.

Not to mention the premiere, even at this time the ratings of the live TV broadcast soared, the number of online viewers increased dramatically, and a large number of barrages floated by, directly setting off a climax of live broadcast interaction.

"Wow, Lin Feng and Lu Han, these two guys are so handsome, they are my two idols, I have their posters hanging all over my bed!"

"Two top stars in the same frame! The gathering of two male gods is really pleasing to the eyes. This is really a dream scene. Two top stars on the same stage, this is definitely the most classic shot in the entertainment industry this year."

Lin Feng and Lu Han, one is more yang, the other is more yin, one is handsome, the other is gentle and sweet, especially satisfying the deepest thoughts of some rotten girls,
"Everyone was fantasizing about who would be Lin Feng's goddess before, but I think we don't need to think about it now."

"Yeah yeah."

"You rotten girls, I don't know what to say to you, these two are obviously my husbands!"

However, many passers-by saw the picture of Lin Feng and Lu Han together. When comparing the two, the difference was still very obvious.

After all, Lu Han is only 178cm tall, and that's the official height. Even if he's wearing heels, he looks a bit short standing in front of Lin Feng, who's 185cm tall.

Moreover, if a man is short, he will lose all his aura, let alone compared with Lin Feng. Lin Feng's innate unique temperament that is both friendly and aggressive is too obvious.

"When I looked at the photos before, I felt that both Lin Feng and Lu Han were very handsome. They each had their own merits. Even though Lin Feng was slightly more handsome, I didn't think Lu Han was much worse.

But why is it that when the two of them stand together now, it seems that Lu Han is obviously inferior to Lin Feng. What is going on? "

"Yeah, I think so too. When Lin Feng and Lu Han took a photo together, it felt to me like a photo of a star and his fans, not a photo of two big stars at all."

"You guys are asking too much. The reason why Lin Feng looks more stylish than Lu Han is mainly because he is the most popular now. Popularity nourishes people. He naturally exudes a magnetic field. How can it be the same?"

Of course, with two top stars on the same stage, there are bound to be contradictions and conflicts between the fans of both sides. They all think that their own idols are the best and want to overshadow the other's idols.

"Before, you all said how awesome and powerful your Lu Han was, claiming to be the 'most handsome man in the domestic entertainment industry', and how he often tried to bully our Feng Feng. Now that he's standing in front of our Feng Feng in person, he's been crushed!"

"Is Lin Feng handsome? I don't feel that way. I just know that Lin Feng is tone-deaf and doesn't sing well, so he doesn't even dare to appear on the evening shows of major TV stations."

"My Fengfeng is an actor, he doesn't need to sing. Besides, your Luhan is a great singer! Then why haven't I heard a single song of your Luhan? Tell me about it!"

"You all stop arguing. Our two brothers have a good relationship now. Lin Feng even recommended Lu Han's songs at the premiere. I went to listen to them and they were really good!"

Although there may be contradictions and conflicts between the fans of both sides, there is no conflict between the stars like Lin Feng themselves.
Even when Lin Feng was interviewed at the premiere of "I Am a Witness", he recommended Lu Han's new song.

"I think the movie "I Am a Witness" is great, and the movie promotion song "Medal" is very good. I love this song very much.

I don’t like this song because of Lu Han. I liked it very much when I first heard it. At that time, I didn’t know it was sung by Lu Han.

I really envy people who can sing. Lu Han and others have been able to carve out a niche for themselves overseas. I think many of his strengths are worth learning from.”

Lin Feng liked the song "Medal" in his previous life, and he listened to it for a long time before he realized it was Lu Han's song. This changed his opinion of Lu Han a lot.

It seems that Lu Han has several good songs, which are more popular than other top-tier works. However, apart from this song, Lin Feng has no impression of Lu Han's other works.

Lin Feng gave Lu Han such a favor, and Lu Han returned the favor and said, "I am still a newcomer in acting, and there are still many things that I need to learn from Lin Feng.

Although the role in "I Am a Witness" allowed me to showcase myself in many aspects, I still feel my shortcomings and there are many things I need to learn humbly.

I have always wanted to challenge roles with big contrasts, such as a perverted killer, and I also want to shoot a love-themed idol drama, because I don’t have much time, and if I don’t shoot it, I will get old. "

When talking about fans, Lin Feng repeatedly said, "I hope that fans can just focus on their idols and their careers in the process of chasing stars, and not blindly compare with others.
Don’t be easily influenced by others. This is the only way to support your idol and grow together.”

Lu Han also said: "I agree with Lin Feng's opinion. I have never thought about competing. Just follow your own style and be happy!"

Although Lu Han has a baby face, he was born in 90, two years older than Lin Feng. However, when the two communicated privately, Lin Feng unknowingly played the role of an older brother.

"Brother Feng, I see other people call you that, so I'll call you that. Although I'm older than you, I feel that you're more mature. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you."

"You're welcome. You can call me whatever you want. No need to call me brother or not. Just call me by my name. We hope we can work together."

Lin Feng has a very good impression of Lu Han. In his previous life, Lu Han was at the peak of this "traffic era".
Lu Han's peak period was almost the same as Lin Feng now, equivalent to Cai Xukun + Xiao Zan,

It is definitely a very manly thing for a top star who is at the peak of his career to take the initiative to make his relationship public even though he knows that he will suffer a loss of fans.

However, facts have proved that Lu Han's choice was indeed a bit hasty. He overestimated himself. He had no traffic identity and no solid acting skills, which directly led to a sharp drop in his resources.

Therefore, Lin Feng doesn’t dare to do so now. Even if he takes the initiative to announce his relationship, it will have to happen after a large-scale collapse of the entertainment industry and his fans have been able to bear it.

After the two interacted on stage, the entire premiere entered the final thank-you session for the main creators, which was nothing more than once again emphasizing that our movie is very good and hoping that everyone will try to go to the cinema to watch "I Am Witness".

Finally, Yang Mi, the absolute leading actor, also announced a donation activity, "Because of filming "I Am a Witness", I got to know the blind community and felt that I should do something for the blind.
I have donated 100 canes and 50 typewriters to blind children in local special education schools."

At first, Lin Feng did not think anything was wrong. These were all normal activities. The blind children in the school read a thank-you letter in front of Yang Mi. Many media reported that Yang Mi donated a cane and a blind typewriter to the blind children in the special school.

And to be fair, Yang Mi's acting in this movie is quite immersive. Although she can't be compared with veteran actors, compared with her previous acting skills,

She has definitely made a lot of progress, and with the donation, her popularity has increased, and people on the street are praising her for her kindness. But Lin Feng suddenly remembered that it seemed that Yang Mi donated this money through a middleman, that is, the star did nothing, and there was a middleman who helped to raise funds and was responsible for the donation.
This situation is quite common in the circle and is a routine operation. Many celebrities often donate money in this way. They don't contribute money or effort, just put in their "name" and someone will take care of everything. After all, it is better to leave the job of a celebrity studio or agency to professionals.

Yang Mi had done the same thing before, but the middleman took the money and ran away, telling Yang Mi that it had been done, resulting in the donation not being received even two years later.

This caused a public outcry, and Yang Mi was immediately at the center of controversy. Posts like "When Yang Mi is mentioned, we think of fraudulent donations" and "Yang Mi fraudulent donations" have a combined reading volume of nearly 1700 million.

This caused all the advertisements that Yang Mi was endorsing to be taken off the shelves one after another, which had a significant impact on Yang Mi.

The "donation fraud" incident that happened out of nowhere also confused Yang Mi and the studio, because the donation was not large this time. How much do 100 blind canes and 50 blind typewriters cost in total?

The price of a typewriter for the blind ranges from 8500 to 9500 yuan, and the price of a cane for the blind ranges from 100 to 300 yuan.
The total price of so many supplies is only about 50 yuan, which is the price of Yang Mi's several bags.

Yang Mi did care about these things, mainly because her reputation among passers-by was not good and her popularity among passers-by became very bad.

Even if Yang Mi won the lawsuit in the end, the verdict also stated, “The defendant (Yang Mi) has publicly apologized and completed the donation;
The plaintiff (middleman) lacks legal evidence, so this court will ignore it and dismiss all the claims of the plaintiff Li Meng, and bear the acceptance fee of 300 yuan."

Yang Mi won the lawsuit and gained more reputation. For a while, many media and big Vs were sarcastic about her.

"Yang Mi defrauded the donation, and she has to bear the blame. Isn't that unfair?"

"No one forces celebrities to do charity, but if they do, they should not play the 'negligence' game."

"Why do celebrities donate money, but still get sued and scolded? Yang Mi donated money, did good deeds, but still got sued and scolded. It's really a thankless job!

Why? It is because when Yang Mi made the donation, he did not notice the regulations and did not receive legal protection.

So let me introduce to you some of the Charity Law and other related laws and regulations that are often used in daily life.”

Eventually, Yang Mi himself had to respond in person: "I am shocked and sad. This is a serious mistake. I accept the criticism. The donation has been made. I apologize."

This made Yang Mi's popularity, which was not very good to begin with, even worse. So after the event, when Lin Feng said goodbye to Yang Mi, he emphasized this matter to her.

"The donation activity you just arranged must be ensured to be in place. When the time comes, I will definitely send someone to supervise and ensure that the donations are in place."

"You called me just for this little thing. Why are you so nagging now? Don't worry, I've asked the studio to arrange it. There won't be any problems."

"I'm doing this for your own good. You don't even know whether you are planning to find a middleman or not. Don't trust the middleman for everything. You must supervise everything yourself.

If the donation does not arrive within a month, or even within six months or two years, you can imagine what will happen, so make sure you make the donation."

After Lin Feng said this, Yang Mi became a little concerned. She had felt that this middleman was not very reliable.

After hearing what Lin Feng said, she felt that she should be careful. For celebrities, any small thing could be magnified countless times.

“Well, I understand what you mean, I will personally supervise it when the time comes and ensure that there are no accidents.

Oh, it's not this amount of money. I will ask someone to donate it tomorrow. Now that you mentioned that, I thought it was a lot more money."

"Uh...that's right! The sooner you get there, the better. I think I'm making a big deal out of it and thinking too much."

Lin Feng was mainly influenced by his past life. 50 is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it is nothing for a celebrity.

Now that Lin Feng has achieved financial freedom, he should do some good deeds to the best of his ability. He has already made plans and donated a lot of money.

In this regard, Louis Koo is very impressive. Not only did he donate to nearly a hundred primary schools, but he was also able to implement it meticulously.

They even send people to understand the needs of inland cities and towns in order to decide where to donate. After allocating funds, they also send people to monitor progress to prevent shoddy projects from occurring.

This is indeed a role model for the school. Lin Feng at least cannot do this. He is a person who hates trouble. Should he set up a special foundation to do this?
Lin Feng hasn't made up his mind yet. He doesn't want to worry so much and prefers to donate directly. But he is also afraid that if he donates money, it will not be used well and someone will take advantage of it.

At this time, Yang Mi also had to leave soon. There would be a large-scale preview tomorrow and the movie would be officially released the day after tomorrow, so she had to go on a roadshow to promote it.

"Lin Feng, I'm leaving soon. I will make it up to you next time. This movie is really important to me."

From the early stage of project establishment, to the filming in the middle, and finally to the current release, Yang Mi really has high hopes for this "I Am a Witness", otherwise she would not be so concerned about it.

Seeing Yang Mi's confident yet uneasy expression, Lin Feng couldn't bear it and said:
"Yang Mi, if, I mean if, if the box office of I Am a Witness is not very good, don't be sad. If you really need help, you can come to me. I will always support you."

"Well, I understand. I know you have me in your heart. But this time I am confident in "I Am a Witness". Our pre-sale box office has exceeded 2000 million. The performance is very good.

I don’t have high requirements, as long as the box office can exceed 3 million, at least I can recover the cost and make a little profit.”

In August, the box office of "The Sun Also Rises", starring three movie kings Deng Chao, Duan Yihong and Guo Tao, was only 8 million yuan.
How much can a movie of the same type like "I Am a Witness" do at the box office? It seems that the box office in its previous life was just over 200 million.

Lin Feng couldn't change these, he just assured Yang Mi, "I'll take care of everything!" Don't think too much,

In the end, let’s just “leave it to fate”, maybe the box office of “I Am Witness” can exceed that of the previous life!
