Chapter 93 Massage Aids Development

"Really," Liu Haochun shook his head, then changed the subject, "By the way, you and Brother Feng have known each other since childhood, do you know what kind of girl he likes?"

Here it comes! Tian Xiwei instantly became highly alert, her fingers gripping the water glass tightly.

"Oh, this!" Tian Xi drew out her words, pretending to recall something. "I remember Brother Feng once said that he likes sweet girls, the cute type, with a genuine and unpretentious personality, and—" she paused, "with a good figure."

She secretly observed Liu Haochun's expression and saw that she indeed lowered her head.

"I can't remember anything else," Tian Xiwei stood up. "Haochun, I'm going back to take a shower now. I'm not talking anymore."

"Okay, get some rest."

As she stepped out of the room and closed the door, Tian Xiwei couldn't hold back any longer and covered her mouth, giggling in the hallway.

Meanwhile, Liu Haochun sat in the room, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. Sweet, cute, genuine and unpretentious—wasn't that exactly what described Tian Xi's fake self? She must have projected herself into that persona!

"Cunning." Liu Haochun muttered to herself, but she was even more unconvinced. Tian Xiwei's words definitely didn't count. She would have to ask Brother Feng herself later.

Tian Xi returned to her room after a shower, wrapped in a towel, when her phone rang. It was a message from Lin Feng: "Open the door."

She rushed to open the door, and as soon as Lin Feng entered, she hugged him tightly and kissed him. "Brother Feng!"

"Why are you so happy?" Lin Feng closed the door and pinched her cheek.

"I won't tell you." Tian Xiwei pulled him towards the bed, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Brother Feng, could you give me a longer massage?"

"A massage?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "What's bothering you?"

"It's not that I'm uncomfortable," Tian Xiwei said, her cheeks slightly flushed. "I read online that massage can help with development."

Lin Feng was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but laugh: "You silly girl, what kind of nonsense are you watching all day long?"

"Oh, please help me." Tian Xiwei tugged at his hand and pleaded.

"Okay, okay," Lin Feng reluctantly conceded, "I'll massage you every day, alright?"

He gently placed his hands on her shoulders, gradually increasing the pressure, and Tian Xi let out a soft, comfortable moan.

In the next room, Liu Haochun was still pondering Tian Xi's lies. "No, I can't be fooled by Tian Xi," she said to herself in the mirror. "I have to ask Brother Feng myself."

Tian Xi sat under a parasol on the sidelines, watching him and Liu Haochun film their scene together, the screen of her game console flickering on and off.

These days, her mood has been like a rollercoaster. Seeing Lin Feng's seriousness when he's directing Liu Haochun, she can't help but pout. But at night, nestled in his arms, feeling the gentle pressure of his palm on her back, all her unease seems to vanish.

"Brother Feng, be gentle." She lay on the bed, grumbling unhappily. These days, Lin Feng kept saying that "massage helps with development," and he would massage her for a while every night, with the pressure becoming more and more "professional."

"It hurts?" Lin Feng paused for a moment. "Then I won't massage you next time."

"No!" Tian Xiwei hooked her arms around his neck. "I want a massage! Feng-ge's massages are the most comfortable."

Lin Feng chuckled at her words and leaned down to kiss her forehead: "That's more like it. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you to the beach for a few days."

Tian Xi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"real."

Before she could fulfill her promise, Tian Xiwei received a call from home the next day. "My parents said they miss me and want me to come back."

She hung up the phone, looking at Lin Feng with a hint of reluctance, "I came to the film crew right after the college entrance exam, and it's been a long time since I've been home."

"Of course," Lin Feng said, helping her pack her luggage. "Go back and spend some quality time with your aunt and uncle."

"Then you're not allowed to get too close to Hao Chun!" Tian Xiwei suddenly became serious, hands on her hips like a kitten guarding its food. "I'll be doing video checks every day!"

"Understood, little housekeeper." Lin Feng smiled and pinched her cheek. "I promise to report every day."

On the way to the airport, she was still muttering to herself, "Don't go to the hotel room alone with Hao Chun, don't smile at her too much, don't~"

"Stop," Lin Feng interrupted her helplessly, "If you keep reading, the plane will be flying away."

Tian Xiwei finally shut her mouth, but before getting out of the car, she suddenly hugged him, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him hard: "This is a stamp, proof that you're mine!"

After Tian Xiwei left, Liu Haochun became noticeably more proactive.

"Brother Feng, look at this scene depicting Yu Zhouzhou's inner thoughts. I feel like it wasn't acted quite right." She sat on the sofa opposite Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the script and carefully analyzed it for her: "Yu Zhouzhou's reaction here is more one of grievance than anger. She's deeply dependent on Lin Yang, so when she's misunderstood, she feels more of a sense of disappointment, like 'Why don't you understand me?'"

He didn't notice that Liu Haochun's gaze remained fixed on his profile; she could sense that Lin Feng was deliberately keeping his distance.

On August 4th, the preview screening of "Fame and Fortune" was held at a cinema in Beijing. Raymond Lam attended with Liu Haochun, who played a small role in the film.

During the post-screening Q&A session, a reporter finally couldn't help but ask: "Director Lin, do you think 'Fame and Fortune' can beat 'The Lost Tomb' which is airing at the same time? After all, the other one has a top-tier lead actor and a big IP."

The entire room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Feng. Liu Haochun's heart was also in his throat, fearing that he might say something offensive.

Raymond Lam smiled, picked up the microphone, and said in a clear and firm voice: "The box office of 'The Lost Tomb' will definitely be good, after all, it has such a large fan base. But as for quality and word of mouth..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room, "Back then, was the TV series version of 'The Lost Tomb' any better than 'The Beginning'?"

""

These words caused an uproar in the audience. "The Beginning" was a phenomenal drama he produced last year, which was a great success in both critical acclaim and box office. However, the TV series version of "The Lost Tomb" was ridiculed for its drastic changes. The contrast was like a public execution.

"I'd venture to guess," Raymond Lam continued, "that while The Lost Tomb might do well at the box office, its quality and reputation will definitely not be as good as The Fame."

The reporters were energized and raised their cameras one after another. Liu Haochun sat next to him, watching Lin Feng surrounded by flashes of light, and suddenly felt that there was a dazzling light about him. It was the courage to do the impossible and the absolute confidence in his work.

Back at the hotel that evening, Raymond Lam's phone was inundated with messages. On Weibo, the hashtag #RaymondLamSaysFameIsBetterThanTombRaiders# quickly trended, with fans of the top-tier lead actor of "Tomb Raiders" furiously criticizing him: "A low-budget movie dares to piggyback on a big IP?" "Where's your face? Wait until it's released and see how you get slapped in the face!"

But many onlookers were also drawn in: "I'm kind of looking forward to seeing 'Fame and Fortune,' what makes Director Lin so confident?" "Waiting for August 12th to see who wins."

Lin Feng scrolled through the comments, a smile playing on his lips. This was exactly the effect he wanted; if there was no buzz, he'd create it himself.

"Isn't this too risky?" Liu Haochun asked, looking at the negative comments.

Raymond Lam took out his phone and sent a message to the publicity team: "Edit today's interview, highlight my comments on 'The Lost Tomb', and buy a few related trending topics to generate buzz."
