After the filming plan for "Swords of Legends" was finalized, Lin Feng joined the cast of "Painted Skin 2," which was his first time participating in the filming of a special effects blockbuster.
Previously, "Buddha Mountain" was an art film, and "Love is Not Blind" was a romance film; neither had any large-scale scenes.
While "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" features large-scale scenes, they were all filmed on location. "Painted Skin 2," on the other hand, is more of a special effects blockbuster and can be considered one of the top productions in China.
The filming went very smoothly from the start, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Lin Feng even greeted the three top stars, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun. In particular, Zhao Wei and Chen Kun were Lin Feng's senior classmates, true fellow students, because their class teacher was Cui Xinqin, only 10 years apart.
Even Zhao Wei couldn't help but say, "Young people these days are so amazing, their acting skills are so good. I suddenly feel like I'm getting old."
Chen Kun also said, "Perform well, and feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future!"
Yang Mi soon joined the cast as well. The two didn't have many scenes together, and they mostly had scenes together.
Yang Mi is a mischievous sparrow spirit, wearing a tight-fitting corset;
Although Lin Feng is a demon hunter, he is essentially a loser. He is unkempt, and his clothes are made of rags and have been treated with oil, ink, and dirt, making him look filthy.
The two have collaborated many times and have excellent teamwork. They often improvise, and their relationship on set is that of a bickering "rookie duo." Yang Mi plays the sparrow demon "Que'er," who often "bullies" Lin Feng's demon hunter "Pang Lang" by cuddling and teasing him. Although "Pang Lang" is teased, he enjoys it.
Yang Mi pressed further, "Why are you catching demons?"
Lin Feng replied, "Because the book says that demons can harm people."
Yang Mi retorted, "But I haven't harmed anyone yet!"
During a break on set, the two continued to chat over tea. "Hey Xiaomi, were you deliberately bullying me during filming just now?"
"How did I bully you? Tell me!"
"Then why do you keep messing with my hair!"
"I bumped into it by accident!"
Looking at the two glamorous leading actresses and the top actor, Yang Mi said enviously, "When will we be able to play the male and female leads in such a big-budget production? Hmm, you've already acted in 'The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen,' which was also a big-budget production, but I haven't acted in one yet!"
"You're fast too!" But Lin Feng suddenly remembered that Yang Mi in his previous life didn't seem to have achieved much success on the big screen except for the "Tiny Times" series! And the "Tiny Times" series was a bad movie.
But I don't know when it started, the atmosphere of "Painted Skin 2" suddenly became strange, and the two "big flowers" began to fight each other. This is the origin of the "battle for top billing" in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Lin Feng felt like he was witnessing the history of the Chinese entertainment industry again, only this time it was the "root of all evil" of the ranking dispute in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Whether it was the core plot of "skin-swapping and face-changing" in the drama that sparked the discussion of "who is the real female lead," or because Zhao Wei's 450 million yuan salary was 400 yuan higher than Zhou Xun's 50 million yuan salary, with the salary difference being interpreted as a symbol of the "female lead" status, in any case, the two "big actresses" completely fell out and almost came to blows. They really did come to blows, and Lin Feng and Yang Mi were the witnesses!
At the time, while Zhou Xun was away filming, Zhao Wei kicked Zhou Xun's chair aside, claiming it was "blocking the way."
Upon returning, Zhou Xun confronted Zhao Wei, asking, "Why did you touch my chair?"
Zhao Wei responded nonchalantly, "You're not in your seat, and the chair is blocking the way, so you just put it aside?"
Zhou Xun asked Zhao Wei to get up, then kicked over her chair and said, "Weren't you not in your seat? The chair was blocking your way, so I kicked it aside."
This enraged Zhao Wei, who confronted Zhou Xun directly. The atmosphere on set was tense, and the two were about to come to blows when staff quickly intervened and separated them to prevent a physical altercation.
Lin Feng seemed to be watching the drama unfold. He thought the current "big stars" were really something else, daring to get involved in their feuds. Just like when Fan Binbin and Xu Jinglei were feuding a while ago, Lin Feng even helped Fan Binbin!
Yang Mi, standing nearby, was a little terrified. In all her years in the industry, she had never seen anything like this before!
From that day on, the two "big flowers" began to torment each other!
They compared and argued about everything, from the order of the poster names to the order of the interviews and the size of the hotel rooms!
This isn't torturing the other party; it's torturing the staff below.
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't have many scenes with them, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to handle it.
The only person Lin Feng admires is probably director Wu Ershan (523). He was not affected at all. It was his first time directing such a big production with so many big stars, and he was still able to film in an orderly manner. That is indeed a skill.
It's safe to say that "Painted Skin 2" was the worst film crew Lin Feng ever worked on. There were just too many trivial matters. Fortunately, "Painted Skin" was released on September 29th, and Lin Feng took leave to support Deng Shuang, which was a good way for him to get some fresh air!
Lin Feng personally showed his support for Deng Shuang, which made Deng Shuang very happy. "Lin Feng, you're here! At the premiere later, do you want to see my performance in the movie?"
"Great! It'll definitely be fine!"
"You haven't even seen it yet, and you're already saying it's good!"
"I've seen the trailer. That shot of you turning your head and looking back was so innocent and pure. Otherwise, why would so many people call you a fairy?"
In fact, Lin Feng was not lying. He had seen the original film in his previous life. Deng Shuang's performance was definitely the biggest plus of the film. Otherwise, she would have been nominated for Best New Performer at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
At the premiere, Lin Feng, introduced by Deng Shuang, greeted Deng Chao, Sun Li, Yan Ni, and director Chen Jiashang.
Lin Feng still respected the director who had continued to send birthday wishes to Deng Shuang every year for many years, even after Deng Shuang's scandal broke in his previous life. "Director Chen, hello, thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Shuang during this time!"
"I've always admired Zheng Shuang, and of course, I admire you too. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future!"
Of course, there's also Deng Shuang's new good friend, Xie Nan. "Lin Feng, this is Sister Xie Nan. She took good care of me when we were filming!"
"I know, Sister Xie Nan, you haven't forgotten, have you? When we were promoting 'Meteor Shower,' we were on Sister Xie Nan's 'Best Scene.'"
"Yes! You two even appeared on my show together. You two are truly a perfect match! Deng Shuang often talks about you, saying how wonderful and perfect you are. Seeing you in person today, it's exactly as I've described!"
At the premiere event, Deng Shuang once again displayed her amazing arm-wrestling skills, managing to knock down a group of female celebrities, including Yan Ni, Sun Li, and Xie Nan, all of whom were on the ground.
Is this girl really that strong?! I hope she doesn't have violent tendencies!
As for the movie "Painted Skin," what good movies could there be that Deng Chao and Sun Li starred in together? In my previous life, apart from "Shadow," there weren't many good films.
Lin Feng patiently watched until the end. He forgot all the other details, but he remembered Yan Ni opening her mouth wide and taking a sniff, "What's that strange smell? It's a man's smell!" "You're a monster, you're not worthy to be friends with us fairies!"
Although the film boasts "exquisite visuals" and "a multitude of beautiful women," it suffers from numerous problems, including a chaotic plot, poor character development, and an incongruous mix of styles. As a result, "Painted Skin" ultimately grossed 1.49 million yuan, far below expectations and even falling short of the 1.78 million yuan box office of Jet Li's "The Legend of the White Snake," in which he was "tricked into becoming the lead actor through a cameo role."
However, Deng Shuang's performance was still commendable. Even Lin Feng sincerely praised her, saying, "Xiao Shuang acted well, she has improved a lot, keep up the good work!"
