Chapter 73 Anything Can Be Dreamed Of
Yang Mi felt that Lin Feng had become arrogant because movies and TV series are different.
Movies are directly aimed at the audience; they are To C (consumer-facing).
TV dramas are sold to TV stations; they are B2B (business-to-business).
TV dramas are relatively stable; as long as they are sold, you can make money, and it's generally not easy to lose money, but don't expect to make a lot of money.
Movies are risky; they can lose money, but they can also make a lot of money.
This has led to television dramas being more focused on celebrities, resulting in a "celebrity-centric" system.
Film, on the other hand, is more director-centric, belonging to the "director-centric system".
This is why Yang Mi said that as long as Lin Feng is the lead actor in this TV series, it won't flop, because he has a solid fan base. But movies are different; you can't rely on fans alone to support a movie!
At this point, Lin Feng couldn't explain anything to Yang Mi. Sometimes, fans can help a movie's box office performance; otherwise, how could there be "fan movies"?
Lin Feng's "Buddha Mountain" grossed 1.52 million yuan, which is almost double the 7800 million yuan in his previous life. What else could it be but Lin Feng's fans?
But now, apart from Lin Feng, who knows about the past achievements of "Guanyin Mountain"?
Although everyone knows that Lin Feng made a great contribution, the main reason is that "Buddha Mountain" is a good movie, and it also has many big names like Fan Binbin joining the cast. Many people have overlooked this.
More importantly, the first truly meaningful "fan film," *Far Cry*, hasn't been released yet, because only bad movies can prove what a "fan film" is.
Yes, it's Yang Mi's own movie, "Mysterious Island," which won't be released for a while. If that's the case, Yang Mi is the real "pioneer of traffic"!
Of course, "fan films" can only guarantee a lower limit, but cannot raise the upper limit; in fact, they may even lower it, since many people will not go to the cinema simply because it is a "fan film."
Just look at Lu Han, who later became a top star. He could easily gross tens of millions of yuan at the box office, and even hundreds of millions. But to achieve a box office hit, you need to attract casual fans.
Moreover, "Love is Not Blind" is a very successful commercial film, and with Raymond Lam's star power, it will only be more successful than the previous one, so how could it fail!
Lin Feng didn't explain anything to Yang Mi. He just wanted to wait until "Love is Not Blind" was released, then use her own investment money to slap herself in the face. He'd see how she reacted then—whether she laughed or cried!
I'm really looking forward to it!
Soon, Lin Feng received payment notifications from Fan Binbin and Yang Mi, meaning the 10 million yuan investment for "Love is Not Blind" was fully in place, and filming could officially begin.
However, when Lin Feng checked the account information, Yang Mi had given him 100 million.
Fan Binbin, however, directly transferred 300 million yuan, giving an extra 100 million yuan. This wealthy young woman touched Lin Feng, who probably heard about the 300 million yuan as soon as he arrived.
This time, Lin Feng didn't refuse; he simply sent Fan Binbin a message saying, "Thank you!"
Originally, there was a shortfall of 300 million, but now there's an extra 100 million.
Oh, wait a minute!
Lin Feng's own movie salary hasn't even been calculated yet. Lin Feng's movie salary is 100 million, which is directly converted into the movie investment, making an extra 200 million.
最后《失恋33天》这1000万的总投资是林锋500万（400万投资+100万片酬）+邓爽100万+范彬彬200万+杨密100万+天娱100万。
Lin Feng seemed to have forgotten one thing: he had promised Liu Yifei to invest in him, and he had also promised to invite her to make a cameo appearance. He had completely forgotten about it.
Lin Feng didn't leave the extra 200 million idle. He set aside 100 million as emergency funds for the film, so that if the film exceeded its budget, he could immediately step in.
Lin Feng used the remaining 100 million yuan to pay off the loan on the new house in his hometown in one go, so that his mother would feel more at ease and at ease, otherwise she would not feel at ease living there.
Lin Feng's actions indeed pleased his mother, who couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Feng, is being a celebrity really that lucrative?"
"Mom, it depends on what kind of celebrity it is. Only big stars can make big money; small stars can't make any. Actually, no matter what industry you're in, as long as you can reach the top, you can make money."
"You don't need to tell me all this, I don't understand it anyway. It's just that the loan is gone all of a sudden, and I can finally put my mind at ease. Otherwise, I wouldn't be comfortable living in any house I move to."
Lin Feng felt guilty after hearing his mother's words. He had had money for a long time but had not paid off his loan, which put pressure on his mother. He had not considered things from his mother's perspective.
"Mom, this is just the beginning. I'll definitely get richer and richer in the future, so feel free to spend it as you please."
"Xiaofeng! We can't just squander our money. Do more good deeds so we can have peace of mind and sleep soundly."
"Yes, I will."
Just as "Love is Not Blind" was about to start filming, Lin Feng had just hung up the phone with his mother when he received a call from Jing Tian.
When Jing Tian called, Lin Feng realized he hadn't really interacted with her. He couldn't think of any connection with her, and it seemed that Jing Tian had cornered Lin Feng and forced him to add her on the phone.
Let's see what she has to say first. After the call connected, I heard Jing Tian's somewhat accusatory tone, "Didn't we agree last time that we would definitely work together again if there was a chance? How could you go back on your word! Why did you refuse the movie script we sent you?"
"Huh! What movie script? I don't really know anything about it." Lin Feng was a little confused.
"It's a movie script called 'Time Raiders,' and I want you to be the male lead! Didn't you promise to work together again?"
While Jing Tian was speaking, Lin Feng quickly found the script that his agent Hu Shan had given him and found it, "Time-Traveling Rescuers," a sci-fi action comedy film. It had time travel, comedy, and sci-fi elements—it had everything! Wow, they were really daring to make it!
The most crucial point is that Lin Feng had no recollection of the movie "Time Raiders," otherwise he would have refused without even watching it. Besides, it was starring Jing Tian, so one can imagine that the movie must be terrible, and refusing it would have been the end of it.
However, Lin Feng still politely replied, "Oh! I already have other work commitments for this lead role, but we'll have the opportunity to collaborate again in the future!"
"You said you'd cooperate again last time, and you said it again this time. You can't do it three times. I'll forgive you this time, but we'll definitely cooperate next time. You better keep your word!"
No, I was just being polite, did you really take it seriously? Are you just a naive girl, or are you trying to get something for nothing?
"Um... let's talk about the specifics next time, in case I have other work commitments," Lin Feng said tactfully.
"Hmph! I knew you'd say that. Next time I have a script, I'll give it to you as soon as possible, until you're satisfied. Is that alright?" Jing Tian emphasized.
"Actually, when it comes to movies, it depends on the people involved. Some people are suitable for them, and some are not. You can't force it."
"Lin Feng, tell me, why am I not suitable? Why have all my movies flopped? Am I really that bad at acting? How can I improve my acting skills?"
Isn't it normal for your movies to flop? It seems like none of them have ever been a hit! The only thing that's become a breakout hit is your TV series.
As for your poor acting skills, need I say more?
Improving acting skills? Do I even need to say it? Did your university professors waste their time teaching you? We even went to the same school!
These are all objective facts, but in the end, Lin Feng still gave his own opinion:
"Actually, you started too high. It's not a good thing to act in a big-budget movie right away. Movies involve many factors, and if the movie fails, it's easy for a newcomer like you to have something to criticize."
Actually, you could hone your acting skills in TV dramas, act in a few good ones, build up your audience, and then you might be able to handle acting in movies with ease.
"Well, Lin Feng, I only want to act in movies right now, I don't really want to act in TV dramas, what should I do?" Jing Tian was a little dismissive of TV dramas.
Goodness, your most famous work, "Rattan," was a web series, and you still don't want to act in TV dramas. Lin Feng was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Here's a good idea. It's exactly 10 p.m. now. You should think about everything, take off your clothes and get into bed. Hmm, how am I being a pervert? I'm just teaching you! Are you going to listen or not?"
Okay, continue. Slowly close your eyes. Oh, right, stay still and slowly drift off to sleep. You should hurry up and wash up and go to bed; anything can happen in dreams!
"Lin Feng! You bastard!"
