After walking the red carpet at the premiere of "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen", Lin Feng and Liu Yifei held hands and didn't separate even after arriving at the venue!
Lin Feng didn't notice that he often held girls' hands, and they were always so soft; Liu Yifei didn't say anything either, she just let Lin Feng hold her hand like that if she liked it.
The entire premiere event followed the familiar format, with the main cast and crew sharing anecdotes from the filming process and reminiscing about the joys and hardships of creating "The First Feast Under Heaven".
Director Lee Yan-Kong truly lives up to his reputation as a multi-talented individual, possessing expertise in art direction, cinematography, and costume design. On set, he personally wrote a calligraphy scroll that read "Great Ambitions Achieve," and the main cast and crew, including Lin Feng, posed for a group photo holding the scroll, officially announcing the film's countdown to release. The atmosphere was both enthusiastic and touching.
Heavenly King Leon Lai sang the movie theme song "A Thought", while Raymond Lam and Liu Yifei once again joined hands to sing the movie interlude "Song of Chu". The music video that followed recreated the romantic love story of "Xiang Yu" and "Yu Ji" from their first meeting to their parting through movie scenes.
The host, Dong Qing, couldn't help but say, "What a handsome and beautiful couple! I've hosted so many galas and programs, but I've never seen such a good-looking man and woman!"
Lin Feng is so handsome! No wonder there are so many fans here! The cheers are huge! Yi Fei is so beautiful, where are her fans? The cheers here are pretty loud too!
I don't know if you guys noticed, but I've been observing them the whole time. Lin Feng and Yi Fei have been holding hands ever since they came in. They were holding hands while taking photos and singing. It's like their hands have never been separated. Are they glued together?
Lin Feng then realized that he hadn't been holding Fan Binbin's, Yang Mi's, or Deng Shuang's hand; he had been holding Liu Yifei's hand the whole time. He really hadn't noticed!
Just as Lin Feng was about to let go, Liu Yifei grabbed him tightly with a strong grip, making it difficult for him to pull away. After all, with so many spectators present, he didn't want to embarrass Liu Yifei further.
However, Liu Yifei was still holding on tightly, so Lin Feng gently squeezed her hand to signal that he wouldn't let go and to let her relax. Liu Yifei then stopped holding on.
Faced with the host's teasing, Lin Feng took Liu Yifei's hand and explained, "Because in the movie, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji die hand in hand, and we're doing this to show our unwavering support for 'The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen'!"
Then Liu Yifei took Lin Feng's hand, and the two eventually intertwined their fingers. "Yes! That's exactly what we mean. Lin Feng and I both wish 'The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen' great box office success!"
What are you talking about? And what does this have to do with anything?! What does the fact that you two are holding hands have to do with the box office success of "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen"?!
The host, Dong Qing, didn't press the two of them further. Instead, she asked, "I heard that Lin Feng and Yi Fei are also bringing a cross-dressing performance. What kind of cross-dressing performance is it?"
Then Liu Yifei, dressed as Xiang Yu, wielded a sword and performed a series of sword dances, while Lin Feng, imitating Yu Ji, played the pipa in accompaniment, staging a comedic version of "Farewell My Concubine," which made the whole audience burst into laughter. Some fans, not wanting to miss out on the fun, even shouted, "Do it again!"
The idea behind this performance was to create a charming contrast. During rehearsals, Lin Feng found it hilarious. Liu Yifei's sword dance was quite good and looked decent, but asking Lin Feng to play the pipa was a bit of a challenge for him. As a result, Liu Yifei teased him several times, saying it was "like fluffing cotton."
"You two work together really well. Can you tell me why? Let Yifei explain this time, otherwise I'm afraid that if Lin Feng tells you, you'll just nod and agree."
Liu Yifei said, "We have great chemistry, probably because we are quite familiar with each other! Mainly, Lin Feng takes good care of me. He has given me a lot of help in acting, which has benefited me greatly. Moreover, we cooperate well when acting together. I feel that my performance has improved a lot this time. Of course, Lin Feng also takes good care of me in daily life, especially when we were trapped in a rainstorm on set. He took care of me the whole time. In the end, we walked for 4 hours. We can be considered comrades who support each other."
"Oh! Yifei has said a lot. Lin Feng, what do you have to say to Liu Yifei?" When Dong Qing asked this question, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes.
"Yifei! First of all, she's definitely beautiful. In this movie, she could absolutely be called the reincarnation of Yu Ji." Moreover, "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" is more of a male-dominated film, and her performance as the only female character is brilliant, adding a lot to the movie. As for Yifei herself, I actually grew up watching her movies, like "The Fairy Sister in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
"Zhao Ling'er from *Chinese Paladin*, Xiaolongnu from *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, um, what? Can't I say I watched her grow up? Okay then, how should I put it? Yifei is about my age, but she debuted a few years earlier than me."
When Lin Feng said that he "watched her grow up watching her dramas," Liu Yifei objected. She quickly pulled Lin Feng's hand and pinched it lightly.
"Before I met her, I always felt she was like a fairy, aloof and unapproachable. But after getting to know her better, I found her to be quite interesting, like the girl next door. Sometimes she's carefree and funny, sometimes she's quietly reading."
"I never expected our Yifei to have such a cute side in private. Does our Yifei think Lin Feng is right?" asked the host, Dong Qing.
"Lin Feng, you're right! I'm just a loser!" Liu Yifei said casually, almost making Dong Qing, a host with many years of experience, lose her composure. However, Lin Feng has many fans, so whenever there's an awkward silence, they ask Lin Feng.
"Then let me ask Lin Feng what he thinks of our Heavenly King Leon Lai. It's your first time working together, so do you two have many scenes together?"
"Leon Lai is a great older brother. Whether during filming or in our private conversations, he's a good role model. His acting skills are undeniable; his portrayal of Liu Bang this time is precise and nuanced. He's also very low-key and down-to-earth in private! He's someone I admire and strive to emulate!"
"And what about director Daniel Lee?"
"A director is the chef of a film," meaning they can discover the potential of actors and use the script's dialogue and filming techniques to help them become something different.
To be honest, when I first received the invitation to star in "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen", I didn't believe I could play Xiang Yu, the legendary overlord. It was the director who discovered my potential, and I am very grateful to him!
"What did the director say?"
Li Rengang sincerely stated, "Lin Feng is a born actor. He's truly suited for the role. I've seen his previous performances, and I felt he could handle the role of Xiang Yu. The final product proved that his performance exceeded my expectations. He exuded domineering presence, noble elegance, commanding aura, and deep loyalty—he truly brought Xiang Yu to life!"
At this point, Li Rengang paused, patted Lin Feng's shoulder forcefully, and continued, "I know Lin Feng's 'Love is Not Blind' is very popular right now, and the box office is very high. I also went to the cinema to see his performance in it. His portrayal of Wang Xiaojian was outstanding. I'm not surprised at all by his current success. But if you've seen Lin Feng's performance in 'The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen,' you'll be quite surprised. He has become a completely different character from 'Love is Not Blind,' and it might even be another pleasant surprise!"
"I didn't expect the director to have such a high opinion of Lam Fung. What about Leon Lai? What do you think of Lam Fung?"
'
Leon Lai said succinctly, "Very impressive!" Then, feeling he hadn't said enough, he paused for a few seconds before adding, "Really impressive. I haven't seen such an amazing actor in a very, very long time!"
"So, Lin Feng, what do you say yourself?"
"I'm so embarrassed. I'm also very honored to have worked with so many excellent directors and actors. I've really learned a lot. But I think we should watch the movie first. I haven't seen the finished film yet, and it's my first time watching it, just like everyone else."
"Since Lin Feng is already itching to see it, let's all take a sneak peek!"
Once the movie started, everyone quickly focused their attention on it. After all, no matter how good the premiere was, the movie ultimately had to speak for itself.
Moreover, the opening of such a big-budget movie is bound to be a grand scene. Lin Feng's "Xiang Yu" and Leon Lai's "Liu Bang" are attacking a Qin Dynasty city together. Their troops are being relentlessly pursued by the enemy, especially Liu Bang's troops, who are surrounded by enemy forces. Xiang Yu's men are clamoring for reinforcements, "King Xiang, should we go in or not!"
Lin Feng, who plays Xiang Yu, sits high above, motionless, and calmly says, "No rush!"
I'm waiting for someone!
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed out from behind. Lin Feng stood up and said domineeringly, "The people I've been waiting for have arrived!" Then he took the lead and charged forward.
One shot kills an enemy, one shot takes a head, leaving Liu Bang dumbfounded. This was truly beyond human power to stop. Finally, Lin Feng looked up and saw an enemy general trying to escape. He immediately flew up and thrust the man into the ground with his spear, killing him instantly!
In just five minutes of the opening scene, Lin Feng perfectly captured the image of the legendary overlord Xiang Yu. He was so domineering and manly that many fans in the audience couldn't believe it.
"Is this Lin Feng acting? Can someone tell me this isn't computer-generated? I can hardly believe it! This Xiang Yu is so domineering! This is absolutely the best Xiang Yu ever, bar none!"
"I used to think that Feng Feng's portrayal of a sissy was a bit effeminate, and I even wanted to be his sister. But I didn't expect Xiang Yu's portrayal to be so domineering. I almost had an orgasm."
"Although I don't understand acting, the contrast between 'Love is Not Blind' and 'The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen' is too great! If it weren't for Lin Feng, I would have doubted that it was the same person acting in them!"
If Lin Feng's portrayal of "Xiang Yu" was domineering at first, then his feelings for "Yu Ji" afterwards were so tender and gentle, his deep affection and restraint were expressed to the fullest.
"Would you like to come with me?"
"I do!"
"I'll find someone to take you to a safe place where no one can find you, including me! You should give yourself a chance, a chance to choose again!"
"On my way away, I had a dream. I dreamt of a couple with white hair leaning on each other, and I envied them. I walked up to them and realized that I knew them; it was you and me."
"I'm afraid I'll implicate you!"
"Just like when we first met, I was afraid of implicating you."
The beautiful scene of the two dying together in a pool of blood at the end is even more heartbreaking and regrettable. What a beautiful love story!
Moreover, earlier, in the climax of the film, Lin Feng captured the complex emotions of Xiang Yu in despair through changes in his eyes, a slightly trembling mouth, lowered eyelids, and a final roar to the sky, allowing the audience to deeply feel the tragedy and helplessness of Xiang Yu's heroic end.
"Why did Lin Feng have to die! I'm so heartbroken. The only saving grace is that he still had Liu Yifei by his side; they both acted really well!"
"Lin Feng's acting was so good, I even cried. When he looked at me, I felt like there was a story in his eyes, it made me so sad!"
"Lin Feng, don't die! Why didn't he kill Liu Bang before? That way he could have unified the world and been with Liu Yifei forever!"
"Sister, this is history! Even if 'The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen' is a fictionalized account, it's still a story that can't be made up! Besides, Lin Feng and Liu Yifei died together in the end, so they can be considered together forever!"
Among all of Lin Feng's fans, the most shocked was probably Zhang Leilei, the fake fan.
Zhang Leilei knew that Xia Miaomiao was a huge fan of Lin Feng, and he had gone to great lengths to get the tickets for the premiere of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen".
He could have easily gotten the tickets from Lin Feng's official fan group through Xia Miaomiao, but he didn't. It was something he'd promised a long time ago, just like when he and Xia Miaomiao watched "Love is Not Blind" together, he said, "Thank you for treating me to 'Love is Not Blind' this time. Next time, I'll treat you to 'The Last Supper'!"
During this time, the two got along well and there was a hint that they were getting together. Moreover, Zhang Leilei wanted to use the premiere of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" to clarify his relationship with Xia Miaomiao.
Meanwhile, during this time, in order to better pursue Xia Miaomiao, Zhang Leilei endured a lot of discomfort and watched all of Lin Feng's movies and TV series from beginning to end, including his previous interviews and activities.
Of all the TV dramas Lin Feng has starred in, Zhang Leilei's favorite is "Love is Not Blind," because it was through this drama that he met Xia Miaomiao.
My least favorite is the second installment of the "Meteor Shower" series, "Meteor Shower Again." I really couldn't finish watching it; it was too torturous.
However, after reading all of this, Zhang Leilei found that he quite admired Lin Feng and thought he was a very promising star. But to say he liked him or was a fan, he wouldn't call himself a fan, since he didn't follow celebrities. He preferred sports stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James.
After the filming of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" ended, Zhang Leilei officially announced to Xia Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, from today onwards, I'm Lin Feng's die-hard fan!"
