Chapter 20 What Heroine?
"The Journey of Flower" is definitely a hit among hits.

The weekly drama ratings that year ranked first in history. During the finale, Kuyun’s real-time market share exceeded 50%. It was also the first TV series on the Internet to have over 200 billion clicks and views.

It goes without saying how popular the male and female protagonists are in the drama. Even the popularity of the supporting roles has increased significantly.

In particular, Mark, who demonstrated "Sha Qianmo", later became the leading actor in many TV series. However, after reaping the benefits of "Sha Qianmo", he became unknown.

Even the mobile game and peripheral products of the same name caused the stock price of Ciwen Media, the company that banned the product, to surge by 20 billion, and created one of the top ten online terms: "primeval power".
Zhao Liying was also named Audience's Favorite Actress at the 28th Golden Eagle Awards for her performance in The Journey of Flower.

As for Lin Feng, his hope of getting the leading role in "The Journey of Flower" is slim. One can even say that his chances of success are zero, and he certainly won't play a supporting role.

After all, no matter in the minds of the original fans, netizens, or producer Tang Lijun, Huo Jianhua is the first choice for the male lead, who has both good looks and acting skills.

What’s more important is that Huo Jianhua played "Xu Changqing" in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". Both in terms of temperament and image, he is the perfect choice for "Bai Zihua" in "The Journey of Flower".

At this time, Lin Feng was not even in the same league as Huo Jianhua, and this could not be shaken by the difference in pay.

Even after "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was broadcast, it would be difficult for Lin Feng to snatch the role from Huo Jianhua unless he refused to play the role.

At that time, Huo Jianhua really didn't want to play this role. He had many concerns. First, he didn't want to play a repetitive role. Second, he felt that it would be difficult for "The Journey of Flower" to surpass "Chinese Paladin 3".
This can explain why producer Tang Lijun spent half a year trying to get Huo Jianhua to act in the film.

This was the only factor in Lin Feng's favor. He wanted to create a time difference and convince Tang Lijun before she convinced Huo Jianhua.

At this time, Lin Feng had no other choice but to fight for it. After all, no one would laugh at a person who works hard.

Of course, Lin Feng has also thought about following Zhao Liying's path. After all, compared to Huo Jianhua, Zhao Liying is Tang Lijun's favorite.
Otherwise, whether it was fans or netizens or investors behind the scenes, they all wanted to choose Deng Shuang as the heroine.
But she resolutely chose Zhao Liying because she particularly liked Zhao Liying's performance in "Legend of Lu Zhen" and felt that Zhao Liying was "Zhao Xiaogu".

But when he saw Zhao Liying, who looked silly and adorable, next to him, Lin Feng gave up. It was better not to disturb her. Besides, without "The Journey of Flower", would it affect his own popularity?

Zhao Liying asked stupidly, "Why were you looking at me like that just now? Is there anything I can help you with? We have such a good relationship. As long as you don't borrow money, I can do it."

"Or you can give me a baby!" Lin Feng joked.

"What? You're my brother, and you asked me to give birth to your child. Are you kidding me?" Zhao Liying also cooperated with Lin Feng in the performance.

"I just want to use the child to maintain the brotherhood between us!" Lin Feng said casually, making Zhao Liying laugh out loud.

"Haha! Lin Feng, you are so funny. You use children to maintain brotherly love! How did you come up with such a joke? Haha! ... Uh, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt."

Seeing Zhao Liying's exaggerated expression, what else could Lin Feng do except pinch her little round face!

Of course, in order to get the leading role in "The Journey of Flower", Lin Feng asked Zhang Jing to coordinate with Huanrui to fight for it.

Not only did he send clips of his recent performances in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "My Sunshine", he also performed a clip of "Bai Zihua" himself.
I sent them all to Tang Lijun, and I was able to secure an audition opportunity, which went very well.
Tang Lijun expressed her approval of Lin Feng's image and temperament as well as his outstanding acting skills.
Especially Lin Feng's ancient costume looks are really very beautiful and elegant, and he can show the fairy temperament of "Bai Zihua" who is "indifferent with cold eyes, flowing like water and moonlight".
What's more, Lin Feng is much taller than Huo Jianhua, and the height difference between him and the heroine makes them look more like a perfect match.

But Tang Lijun still prefers Huo Jianhua in her heart. After all, Huo Jianhua has successful cases and his ability to withstand dramas is stronger.

For a moment, Tang Lijun was a little hesitant, but fortunately there was still time. After all, apart from the male lead, the female lead had not been decided yet.

As for Lin Feng, he had tried his best to fight for it, but he gave up. It’s not that he gave up, he just didn’t think about it anymore. After all, “do your best and leave the rest to fate”, Lin Feng had tried his best, and it was also an explanation to himself.

Unexpectedly, just when the filming of "Come on, My Love" was about to be completed, Lin Feng received a contract notice from Tang Lijun.

He never thought that he would get the leading role in "The Journey of Flower", this is really a pleasant surprise!

Now, the four hit TV series that Lin Feng had given himself have all been collected, including "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "My Sunshine" which were both big hits in 2014.
"The Journey of Flower" and "Nirvana in Fire" were two big hit dramas in 2015. Now he is truly invincible and has achieved the golden body.

***
In fact, it’s not Tang Lijun’s fault that she chose Lin Feng in the end. The main reason was that “The Journey of Flower” caught up with the policy changes, and “one drama with four stars” became “two stars”.

The so-called "one drama, four stars" means that a TV series can be broadcast on four satellite TV stations at the same time. After becoming "two stars", a TV series can be broadcast on at most two satellite TV stations.
This will lead to a significant increase in the purchase costs of satellite TV stations, and major satellite TV stations will further consider the question of "whether it is worth spending so much money".

Many people advised Tang Lijun to give up "The Journey of Flower", but Tang Lijun remained unmoved. She was very optimistic about this IP project and insisted on carrying out the project as usual.
Before, "The Journey of Flower" had no shortage of money, but now the policy has changed, and this is when Lin Feng's pay advantage comes into play.

In her previous life, Tang Lijun had no other choice but Huo Jianhua, but now there is such an excellent candidate as Lin Feng, so Tang Lijun has to consider the cost of filming.
Under the same conditions, Lin Feng, who has both good looks and acting skills, and is slightly better, and has a lower salary, became Tang Lijun's first choice.
What's more, Lin Feng has several dramas waiting to be broadcast. As long as one of them becomes a hit, it can save her a lot of money.

When Lin Feng received the contract signing notice, he excitedly picked up Zhao Liying and spun her around twice, scaring the girl so much that she turned pale.

"Lin Feng, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?" Seeing that Lin Feng was really happy, Zhao Liying also became happy.

"Nothing, I won't tell you. I'll give you a surprise when the time comes." Lin Feng laughed. I wonder if you will be surprised when we meet again in "The Journey of Flower" in a few months!

"If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Zhao Liying was a little unhappy.

"What's wrong? The filming is about to be finished, but you are still unhappy? Don't you dislike me pinching your face?" Lin Feng said.

"If you try so hard, they will definitely not be happy. "My Sunshine" is the happiest and most relaxing crew I have ever been on.
I really can’t bear to leave you, and I won’t be able to see you again.” When Zhao Liying said the last part, her voice was a little inaudible.

But Lin Feng also heard it. The two of them were acting in love scenes all day long, and there were so many kissing scenes. Almost every day they were "kissing, hugging, and lifting up high", so they must be emotional.

However, both Lin Feng and Zhao Liying prefer to be passive, so neither of them dares to take that step.
Just like what happened to Zhao Liying and Chen Xiao back then, if one of them had taken one more step, the two of them would have been together.

I admire Tong Liya for this. In order to pursue love, she directly expressed her love on "Happy Camp". Look at Chen Sicheng's surprise at that time.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't want to hang himself on a tree. After all, he had been deflowered by Yang Mi, so he could only go the scumbag route.

Lin Feng didn't want to see Zhao Liying sad, so he didn't hide his feelings and said seriously, "My silly Yingbao, we will meet again in a few months.

The reason I was excited just now is because I got the male lead in "The Journey of Flower". Aren't you the female lead? Then we can continue to play lovers!"

But after Lin Feng finished speaking, Zhao Liying asked in surprise: "What is "The Journey of Flower"? What heroine?"
