Chapter 16: Fame Arises Overnight
After holding the "Meteor Shower Meet and Greet", Lin Feng and his team took advantage of the popularity and participated in many other festivals, keeping "Meteor Shower" at a high level of popularity.
On August 14th, I participated in Hunan TV's "Midnight Talk Show" program;
On August 15th, I participated in the "Golden Eagle Interview" program on Hunan TV's Golden Eagle Network;
On August 16, she also participated in Zhejiang TV's "Singing Makes You Win", Anhui TV's "Sunday I'm the Biggest" and Jilin TV's "Super Happy 8 O'Clock" programs.
On August 16th and August 23rd, two episodes of the Hunan TV program "Behind the Story" were recorded.
On August 17, she participated in the "Pepsi Music Chart" program on Yanjing TV and the "Beauty and the Beast" program on Travel Channel.
On August 18th, he was a guest on Baidu Entertainment and interacted with netizens;
These talk shows benefited from the popularity of "Meteor Shower," and their ratings skyrocketed. That's why so many shows are willing to invite Lin Feng and his team—it's all about the ratings!
Moreover, during the broadcast of "Meteor Shower," every variety show featuring the five main actors topped the ratings charts! It also broke the highest ratings records for several top-tier variety shows on various channels!
It's been a tough time lately; I haven't had a single day off. My schedule is packed, sometimes I fly to two or three places a day, and I don't have time to rest.
Lin Feng was truly both tired and happy. He was really tired, only sleeping two or three hours a day, and often had to catch up on sleep in the car.
It's genuine happiness. So many fans are going crazy for you. Lin Feng can make them cheer like this just by waving and greeting them. It's very fulfilling.
Lin Feng and his team's hard work paid off, as "Meteor Shower" continued its strong performance, reaching a rating of 2.75% and a market share of 13.28%, firmly securing its position as the top-rated show during the August summer season.
Of course, a large part of the reason why "Meteor Shower" became a ratings sensation was due to the on-screen couple Lin Feng and Deng Shuang.
"Shipping a couple" can be really addictive, and the more you ship them, the more addicted you become!
Lin Feng and Deng Shuang, this on-screen couple, have been known for their on-screen chemistry, from heartwarming behind-the-scenes moments of "Meteor Shower" to Deng Shuang's furtive glances at Lin Feng at the "Meteor Shower" fan meeting.
The "who's the most handsome" joke at the first national audience meet-and-greet, and the "183cm height" joke from the previous "Happy Original Intention," almost fulfilled the fantasies of all CP fans.
They were absolutely dominant!
The fans screamed in terror!
I love it! I love it!
It's a disaster! It's a disaster!
Although the plot of "Meteor Shower" is ridiculous and childish, many viewers find it simple and beautiful, and it fits the innocent imagination of school days.
In particular, Lin Feng's portrayal of "Murong Yunhai," who is devoted and responsible, and Deng Shuang's portrayal of "Chu Yuxun," who is strong and independent, are regarded as "ideal love templates," and the audience shed tears or cheered for the characters' emotional entanglements.
As a result, the search volume for the commercial brands that Lin Feng and Deng Shuang collaborated with in the drama soared, and the sales of their endorsed products skyrocketed. The only pity is that these are sponsors of the film and television drama, so Lin Feng and Deng Shuang did not receive any endorsement fees.
The filming locations in the drama, such as Xiamen University's Jiageng College and Gulangyu Island where the two were trapped, have also become popular spots for fans to visit, making a significant contribution to Xiamen's tourism industry.
Posters, stickers, decals, and cards featuring the two became wildly popular across the country, appearing in primary and secondary schools and numerous stores. Even the clothes they wore in the show (from Metersbonwe) and the items they used (couple's water bottles) sparked a trend of imitation among students.
In particular, the token of their love, the "Saturn necklace" that "Murong Yunhai" gave to "Chu Yuxun" in episode 22 of "Meteor Shower," has become a hot topic among netizens.
According to statistics, JD.com alone sold more than three million replica Saturn necklaces in a short period of time, generating tens of millions of yuan in revenue for suppliers.
Furthermore, in episode 24, Lin Feng's character "Murong Yunhai" accidentally slapped the "Saturn necklace" to the ground due to a misunderstanding, and his acting was phenomenal in that instant when he turned around.
Lin Feng's face began to turn cloudy, then overcast, then drizzling, and then he smiled through tears, his tears filled with helplessness and resentment. He slowly walked further and further away, truly experiencing the deepest sorrow of a broken heart!
Lin Feng's performance was superb. He maximized his limited scope for acting, and even on the small screen in an idol drama, everyone truly felt Lin Feng's acting skills.
"Lin Feng clearly has the looks, but he insists on letting his talent speak for itself. Those haters who say idol dramas lack acting skills, open your eyes and take a look!"
"Lam Feng is not only handsome but also a great actor. How can anyone not love such a perfect idol! I love him so much!"
"Although I don't understand acting, Lin Feng's performance in this scene made me cry. Is this what they call empathy?"
Lin Feng is handsome and has great acting skills, while Deng Shuang is innocent and cute. This couple is also very popular with the audience. Amazing! The plot is both sweet and heart-wrenching, making it so addictive!
Many well-meaning people started to create a pairing between them called "Feng Shuang CP", which Lin Feng flatly rejected because "Feng Shuang" sounds like "Feng Shuang" in Chinese!
Not only do fans love shipping couples, but even Lin Feng's friends and family members do too.
Then, Lin Feng's college classmate Zhu Yilong called him directly: "Brother, you're really famous now. Wherever I go, I either see you or hear your songs. You're a star!"
But what I envy most about you is your success in both your career and love life! I'm so envious, bro! You just broke up with Kan Qingzi and then immediately got together with Deng Shuang—both are stunning beauties! Is that really true?
By the way, a few days ago a reporter came to the school to interview you—no, to interview us, or rather, to interview us about who we are. Brother, I said a lot of nice things about you back then, so you'd better remember that!
You wouldn't believe it, Zhai Tianlin was also there. That guy was really defiant about you, but he said a lot of nice things about you during the interview. But I know he was absolutely disgusted inside. You didn't see his expression after the interview; it was hilarious.
Because Lin Feng is so famous and busy now, many reporters and media outlets can't find him, so they have to interview his friends and family.
When the reporter interviewed Zhai Tianlin, he was extremely awkward. He had previously looked down on Lin Feng's participation in idol dramas, but he never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly. In just six months, Lin Feng suddenly became famous, and even became extremely famous!
What frustrated Zhai Tianlin even more was that while he could be sarcastic and sarcastic towards Lin Feng to his face, he had to say some words of praise that made him feel embarrassed when facing the interview camera, which disgusted him.
"Lin Feng, he's my good brother. We often go to class and rehearse together, and we even play basketball together. He always takes good care of us."
Moreover, he is very talented and can calmly hone his acting skills. I'm not surprised at all by his achievements, because he deserves them!
Hearing Zhai Tianlin say this, Zhu Yilong rolled his eyes at him. "You, Zhai Tianlin, are truly shameless when you're not. You didn't say this when we were chatting earlier!"
"Damn it, it's all about Lin Feng everywhere I go, it's driving me crazy! A few days ago, a female classmate finally contacted me, but it was all because she wanted to use me to find Lin Feng."
I'm just baffled. What's so great about Lin Feng? He's just a bit handsome, and he just happened to star in an idol drama and became famous. What's so great about that?
Actually, if any of us were to act in this, we wouldn't be any worse than Lin Feng! It's just that we disdain acting in this kind of low-class idol drama, which is why he got this opportunity.
"Yes, that's right. Let's see who wins the award first. Actors still have to prove their acting skills. I heard Lin Feng tell Teacher Cui that he wants to win some kind of Best Actor award in the future. I don't believe I can't beat him."
"Anyway, Zhai Tianlin," Zhu Yilong is completely outmatched in his acting skills of "blatantly lying." However, despite rolling his eyes, Zhu Yilong also sincerely praised him during an interview:
"Lin Feng and I are roommates. He's a really good person. He's sincere, honest, friendly, low-key, pragmatic, humble, and eager to learn. Our teachers and classmates all like him very much."
Moreover, he was the first star from our class to achieve fame, setting a great example for us and serving as a role model. We hope he continues to thrive and that his career in the entertainment industry flourishes.
Lin Feng himself didn't expect that he had so many advantages. His classmates probably didn't expect that Lin Feng would become famous so quickly either!
However, Lin Feng still explained to Zhu Yilong briefly, "Thanks, brother, but there's no need to be so polite. Let's get together again sometime. Also, Deng Shuang and I have nothing to do with each other; we're just ordinary friends. Oh, and please give my thanks to Zhai Tianlin for me!"
What does that mean?
To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!
