Chapter 141 Adding Friends
Meng Fanxi's heart raced, but he didn't show it on his face. He walked over and, as Feng Dao indicated, supported his equipment. Feng Dao's equipment looked brand new, but judging from his skillful operation, it must have been used for a long time and was so well-cared for that it didn't have many marks.
Director Feng carefully took and handled the equipment from the equipment bag, meticulously adjusting the equipment, while Meng Fanxi observed his filming attentively.
The small clumps of *Gnaphalium affine* are covered with fluffy hairs, making them small and cute. If you look closely, you can see dewdrops on them, trembling slightly with the buds.
Large plants of the grass grow as tall as a person, and the clumps seem to break through the limits of their growth. After the hairs grow, they bloom into clusters of flowers with different colors, colorful and unique. Standing there, they are like works of art, which is one of the reasons why they attract people's great enthusiasm.
Feng Huacan is also highly skilled in still photography. After Meng Fanxi helped with the equipment, she stood on the back side and could see that every picture taken by Director Feng was extremely beautiful.
Director Feng was focused on filming, pausing occasionally to consider his next move.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Meng Fanxi, looking him up and down.
The scene was awkward and strange to Meng Fanxi. The atmosphere was frozen, and he didn't know if he could move. Probing gazes kept coming from all around him.
It may have only been a minute, but it felt incredibly long to Meng Fanxi.
Feng Huacan: "Come closer."
Meng Fanxi: "?"
Feng Huacan: "Your hands are very beautiful. Try to get closer to this Cave Heaven Grass."
Following Feng Huacan's instructions, Meng Fanxi moved his hand closer, and after a series of minor adjustments, Director Feng suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Good, good, good, stop here! Don't move!"
So you became a hand model?
Just when everyone thought it was over, Feng Huacan then had Meng Fanxi appear on camera, while repeatedly telling him, "Don't think about anything, just space out."
Meng Fanxi hadn't even realized what was going on before she did as she was told.
He was dressed casually today, with his light green long-sleeved jacket open, revealing a white T-shirt underneath. He looked fresh and natural, with his hair falling gently beside his ears. Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating the tender green shoots of the hollyhock and reflecting off his clean and handsome face.
Following Feng Huacan's instructions, Meng Fanxi made some more expressions, and gradually, the instructions began to escalate.
"I feel sad as I gaze at one of them."
"A hollow look in his eyes, and tears streaming from his right eye."
"Close your eyes."
Some people who had been eager to approach Meng Fanxi, seeing her become Director Feng's "model," were scared away upon hearing these instructions.
The students who came this time included those from the performing arts, directing, and traditional opera departments, and each of them had the courage to step forward and try again.
What kind of insane command is this? It even specifies which eye is tearing up?
The main thing is that Meng Fanxi is even more 'abnormal'. How can his performance be so precise and effortless?
Isn't he an idol?
Does she even have acting skills?
Meng Fanxi didn't expect that visiting would involve performing on set, but a famous director is a famous director. The instructions he gave made him imagine a film set and instantly immerse himself in the role. Although he hadn't specifically practiced controlling the tears in his eyes, he brought himself into the emotions and performed, and everything seemed to become natural.
After a series of unexpected shots, Feng Huacan looked at the footage on the equipment with satisfaction and waved for Meng Fanxi to come and see.
Meng Fanxi leaned closer, somewhat surprised. He felt that he himself in the picture was a different color, a different state.
Feng Huacan: "How is it? It's okay, right?" His tone was complacent and his expression was also proud. He transformed from an industry bigwig to a little old man who was simply proud of his work.
Meng Fanxi nodded firmly, the admiration in his eyes was not flattery, but genuine.
Feng Huacan: "Let's exchange contact information. I'll adjust it and send you the finished product when I get back."
Of course, Meng Fanxi had to seize the opportunity to get the big shot's contact information. He quickly added Feng Huacan as a friend. After seeing Meng Fanxi's nickname, he exclaimed, "Hmm? Meng Fanxi? That name sounds familiar."
Meng Fanxi: "Really? Maybe it's because I'm an idol."
Feng Huacan raised an eyebrow: "It's a real shame that someone with such good looks isn't an idol. Your acting skills are also very good. Have you been developing in that direction?"
As the tour drew to a close, the two followed the staff's call and headed outside.
Meng Fanxi replied, "Yes, I've filmed two movies so far."
He briefly introduced the roles he played in "The Journey of Cloud Boat" and "Suspension," without revealing too much about the plot, since they haven't been broadcast yet and he can't disclose too much information.
Feng Huacan, however, discerned from Meng Fanxi's few words that he had a deep understanding of the character: "You have a great talent for this."
Meng Fanxi smiled and said, "Diligence can make up for lack of talent."
Feng Huacan didn't delve into what Meng Fanxi meant by "diligence," but simply felt that Meng Fanxi had a good personality and remained composed in the face of praise, which made him like her even more.
The two then walked back to school together.
A few days later, Meng Fanxi received a message from Director Feng while he was resting. He sent over the entire finished film.
Lao Feng: [Images][Images]...[Video]
Fancy: [Thumbs up][Thumbs up]
Lao Feng: May I post this on my personal social media? [Rose]
Meng Fanxi didn't expect Director Feng to post it on social media. After thinking about it, she felt it was no big deal and agreed.
After exchanging many flowers, the two concluded their friendly yet polite conversation.
Meng Fanxi clicked into Director Feng's WeChat Moments to take a look, but after adding him, he hadn't had time to find out what Director Feng usually liked to post.
Feng Huacan's WeChat Moments has no restrictions, and his profile picture is a green plant.
Upon entering his WeChat Moments, Meng Fanxi immediately recognized that the background image was a scene from one of his movies, and Meng Fanxi really liked every scene in that movie.
It seems that Director Feng himself is also very satisfied.
This background made the entire WeChat Moments feel more high-quality, and Meng Fanxi watched it with great interest.
The latest one is...
Meng Fanxi was completely unprepared, and the expression on his face at that moment could only be described as a shock to his pupils.
It was actually————
A photo of someone watching "Battle of the Regiments" on TV was captioned: "So much fun, I'm going to miss it [sad]"
In the "Likes" section, I was immediately struck by a familiar profile picture: Feng Mingxu.
It turns out they are friends, but since they are both directors, it's not surprising that they have each other's contact information.
What's strange is why Director Feng would watch "The Regiment"? Could it be because of him that he's giving him face by watching it?
Looking further ahead, Meng Fanxi realized that Director Feng's decision was not a spur-of-the-moment thing.
"The six members must debut together! [Image]"
"Even after breaking up, we remain each other's strong support [image]"
"Looping this song [image]"
The song on repeat in the picture is their song "Meteor".
Judging from the timeline, Director Feng finished watching the entire series in just a few days, and perhaps, he supports them?
While Meng Fanxi was still reeling from the fact that Director Feng would actually watch a talent show, Li Yingqiu called. Just as he answered, Wei Ye also called. Seeing that the line was busy, he sent a message: "What's going on? Are you that familiar with Director Feng?"
Li Yingqiu also asked on the phone, "Why did Director Feng suddenly send you a nine-grid photo and a video?"
Meng Fanxi: "I..."
Before Meng Fanxi could form a complete answer, Li Yingqiu continued, "And it's a picture I've never seen before? When did you take it?"
Meng Fanxi: "Yes..."
Li Yingqiu: "But the filming is really good. You deserve to be called a master. How did you do it?"
Having been repeatedly deprived of his chance to speak, Meng Fanxi murmured, "Brother, can I say something...?"
After the explanation was finished, Li Yingqiu's proud voice came: "As expected of you! You can withstand the scrutiny of any director's camera, you're so versatile..."
Meng Fanxi also learned what had happened from Li Yingqiu's explanation.
It turns out that Director Feng not only posted those photos and videos of Meng Fanxi on social media, but also added the text: "His colors are defined by you."
These words, paired with that picture, completely excited all the fans.
To onlookers, this statement affirmed Meng Fanxi's expressiveness. Coupled with a series of stunning photos that seemed to blend seamlessly with the beautiful plant, and the video's unique cinematic narrative style, it completely showcased another side of Meng Fanxi, leaving viewers amazed. Many of Feng's fans were asking who this was.
For fans, this sentence is all too familiar. It was Meng Fanxi's response to Qiu Lü. At that time, Meng Fanxi had experienced doubts and denials, but he responded to all the outside world's opinions with his performance. This sentence is the most accurate summary of all his performances.
On stage, he can transform into any color; there's nothing he can't do if he wants to.
This is also a motto used by countless fans to motivate themselves. Director Feng Huacan posted it on social media, and coincidentally, the protagonist of the picture is him. This definitely means that Director Feng watched "The Regiment" and followed Meng Fanxi's every step of growth.
These remarks naturally sparked a huge discussion on the forum. Of course, some fans of the opposing side were unwilling to admit this, saying it was just a coincidence and that if you wanted to post Meng Fanxi's photo, you could easily find this sentence by searching, so it doesn't mean anything.
Meng Fanxi's fans had weathered the storms of the competition, and those who could survive in the forum were people with extremely strong mental fortitude. They did not fall into the trap of self-justification, but instead praised Meng Fanxi's expressiveness in the photos.
Whether Director Feng's statement was intentional or unintentional, it is a fact that he posted about Meng Fanxi, and he filmed Meng Fanxi so well. Although Director Feng has retired, this is a status that only the leading actors of the films he once directed have. The last person to be filmed in such a comprehensive way was Yu Yingdi.
That alone is enough to make other fans jealous. VIER and Meng Fanxi's fans are not angry at all when they see the sarcastic remarks on the forum. Instead, they treat them as a joke.
Media outlets and marketing accounts also began to scramble to report on it. One was Feng Huacan, who can be called one of China's top directors, and the other was a popular idol. How could they let go of this hot topic?
As the buzz grew, Feng Huacan's WeChat Moments were also exposed.
It was only then that people realized that Feng Huacan had actually watched "The Battalion" and was very engrossed in it, watching the entire series from beginning to end. What a cross-dimensional feat!
Fans of the opposing team were furious and could only stubbornly insist that it wasn't Feng Huacan, but they were repeatedly proven wrong.
Meng Fanxi paid no attention to the bloodshed in the outside world, but instead began to meticulously study every picture and video of Director Feng.
The ingenuity was quickly discovered.
