Chapter 32 Red Ocean
"Happy Departure" was created specifically for the Hunan TV New Year's Eve concert and is sung by a group of stars from EE-Media. The song has a light and catchy style.
Having recorded three songs before, Lin Feng found this recording easier, as he only had to write a few lines of lyrics and finished recording quickly.
Shooting a music video is even simpler: just two shots, something happy and joyful, like Lin Feng dressed in red, smiling and opening his arms to welcome the New Year.
Finally, there's the EE-Media "New Year Family Portrait" poster. Out of more than 100 artists under EE-Media, 35 important artists are on the list. There's no way around it; if you're not famous, you not only lack resources, but you don't even qualify for a poster.
The poster features Li Yuchun at the very center, the face of EE-Media, surrounded by Lin Feng ("the leading actor in film and television"), Deng Shuang ("the leading actress in film and television"), Zhang Jie ("the leading male musician in music"), and Tan Weiwei ("the leading female musician in music"), representing EE-Media's internal ranking of its artists.
On December 31, 2009, Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert was a star-studded event. In addition to artists from Tianyu Media, they also invited Wang Leehom, Han Hong, S.H.E., Sandy Lam, Will Pan, F.I.R., as well as singers from home and abroad such as Chae Yeon from South Korea, Wonder Girls, and Super Junior-M.
We are currently in the heyday of television, and the powerful Hunan TV has created the Tianyu Media empire. This will continue for the next two or three years. At least until the rise of the three major online platforms "iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video" in the mobile internet era, Hunan TV is the largest star-making platform in China.
This day also happened to be Lin Feng's birthday. Deng Shuang and other members of the "Meteor Shower" crew celebrated Lin Feng's birthday backstage.
"Happy birthday, Lin Feng!" The sweet and lovely Deng Shuang personally pushed a large cake and led the singing of birthday wishes to Lin Feng. There were 21 candles on it, all neatly arranged. She really went to great lengths!
This really touched Lin Feng. Actually, Deng Shuang is a very nice person. As long as she doesn't insist on being Lin Feng's girlfriend, he still likes her quite a bit. But that's just her personality. She insists on "crashing into a wall," which is a bit painful.
Of course, Lin Feng also received a birthday message from Fan Binbin: "Happy birthday, dear Lin Feng! Love, Binbin!"
What moved Lin Feng even more was that when he went on stage to sing "Picking Up Memories", the fans raised up Lin Feng's support light boards and glow sticks, turning the entire venue into a "sea of red". In the middle, many light boards formed the four red characters "Happy Birthday", which was a spectacular scene.
This scene left not only Lin Feng stunned, but even the VIPs attending the event were deeply shocked. "This is incredible!" "Lin Feng is so popular!" "How terrifying, so scary!"
Needless to say, Deng Shuang was even more excited, her face flushed red. She felt a strange sense of honor, thinking, "No wonder he's the man she chose!"
At this moment, the live broadcast director repeatedly switched to panoramic shots to show the "red ocean," and the cheers from the audience almost drowned out the singing. "If you didn't know better, you would think this was Lin Feng's solo concert!"
Even viewers watching on TV were incredulous. "If it's this amazing on TV, it must be even more incredible live!" "Suddenly I feel so excited!" "To be a fan to this extent is truly remarkable!"
This is something that ordinary celebrity fan groups could not do. For this "sea of red", many Lin Feng fans gave up the best positions and chose to be distributed in various regions.
At the same time, they also had to reach an agreement with other celebrity fans to ensure that other celebrity fans would not hold up light boards when Lin Feng took the stage, and they even rented a lot of light boards from other celebrity fans.
This undoubtedly demonstrates the strong cohesion and organization of Lin Feng's fans, and also reflects their unwavering support and love for Lin Feng. This is the best birthday gift that fans can give to Lin Feng.
The fans' actions and their overflowing love shocked, moved, and surprised Lin Feng, almost bringing him to tears. He was truly happy, incredibly happy!
Actually, Lin Feng was a little nervous when he first went on stage. Even though he had sung "Picking Up Memories" many times before, those were all for promotional interviews or talk shows, with a maximum of one or two hundred people in the audience, and they were all pre-recorded, so he wasn't very nervous.
This year's New Year's Eve concert had about 20,000 to 30,000 people, which is not even in the same league. Moreover, it was a live broadcast, requiring live singing, not lip-syncing. At least in the past two years, Hunan TV has always had live singing, but I don't know why things seem to have changed in the future.
Lin Feng, who was initially very nervous, seemed to gain boundless strength from the support of his fans. He was no longer nervous and became more confident and relaxed. At this moment, during the climax of the song "Picking Up Memories," he turned the microphone towards his fans and truly listened to their voices.
"How could I forget love!"
"Let me lose you!"
"Foolishly, I thought we could be together!"
"A shooting star streaked across the sky!"
"You're not here with me!"
"Even if the dream comes true, it won't mean anything!"
In such a romantic and warm atmosphere, Lin Feng and his fans completed this song together. It was so beautiful. This is the first time Lin Feng has sung so well. He really performed beyond his usual level and was in no way inferior to big-name singers.
After the song ended, Lin Feng couldn't help but say, "Thank you! I love you all forever! I hope everyone's wishes come true and everything goes smoothly in the new year, and that everyone can become a better version of themselves! The harder you work, the luckier you get!"
"Become a better version of yourself" and "The harder you work, the luckier you get" are two phrases that Lin Feng often says, which have become blessings for his fans. This is a two-way journey between idol and fans.
This duet with fans left Lin Feng with many feelings. He suddenly realized that being a singer is great, as the direct interaction with fans on stage is something that actors simply cannot match.
For an actor to act in a film or television series, it involves various stages such as filming, post-production, editing, and promotion before the series can actually be shown to the audience and receive feedback.
Moreover, this feedback is not immediate, nor is it based on the feelings at the time; it is feedback from the future to the past.
With live performances like concerts, you can receive immediate feedback. If the audience is full of your fans, the positive feedback is incredibly strong.
Lin Feng suddenly had an urge to become a singer. He wanted to hold his own concert, which he thought would be amazing!
Maybe I can try it sometime in the future!

Between New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, there are mostly award ceremonies. As the popular youth idol drama "Meteor Shower" aired this year, Lin Feng also participated in many of these events with the cast and crew.
He participated in Hunan TV's "Golden Mango Fan Festival" and Phoenix TV's "Newcomer Awards Ceremony," and Lin Feng even won the "Most Promising Newcomer in Performing Arts" award at Sina's "Internet Awards Ceremony."
This can be seen as an affirmation of his breakout role as "Murong Yunhai" in "Meteor Shower," and it also lays a solid foundation for his acting career in the new year.
This is an award with some weight, unlike later award ceremonies where a single "Newcomer Award" can be divided into categories like "Breakthrough," "Leap Forward," and "Emerging Talent." It just goes to show how profound and complex the Chinese language is!
After finishing his final exams, Lin Feng went home for the Chinese New Year.
