My Healing Games

Chapter 163 Aren't records meant to be broken?

For most netizens, the name Han Fei is quite unfamiliar. The reason why his fans on social media follow him is not because of his outstanding acting skills, but because of his act of bravery.

But with the release of "Twin Flowers," everything changed. Its phenomenal success stunned people in the industry.

When did horror and thriller films become able to sweep all new TV series released at the same time?

People in the industry frantically contacted the production team, while viewers captivated by Han Fei's acting skills began searching for information about him online.

He assisted the police in solving a serial murder case from ten years ago; he bravely saved paparazzi and even caught a wanted fugitive; he remained calm and composed despite being overwhelmed by negative reviews at a movie premiere.

Any one of these things alone would be enough for other celebrities to hype up for a long time, but Han Fei quietly did so many amazing things.

The more people learned about him, the more curious they became. Han Fei seemed to have countless secrets, and his own life remained a complete mystery.

There's no gossip about Han Fei online; this newcomer, who hasn't joined any company, seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

Some people started sending private messages to entertainment influencers, who were also completely baffled. Everyone only knew that Han Fei had helped the police, but who would have thought that his acting skills were so good!
In terms of acting skills, almost no one of his age can surpass Han Fei. This actor has a special kind of temperament that others simply cannot imitate!

Only he could play that role, and only he could bring out that feeling.

In circles that ordinary netizens can't access, paparazzi from all walks of life are busy scrambling around, many wanting to get firsthand information about Han Fei and break a big scoop.

Faced with a flood of private messages and inquiries from investors, a veteran entertainment reporter finally issued a public statement on social media.

"Please stop asking me about this actor!"

"This actor is absolutely amazing! I've been squatting downstairs at his place for almost a week now, and all he does is film and play video games at home!"

"He's not just free of scandals, he's completely socially isolated!"

"What's most infuriating is that on the day their drama wrapped up filming, I thought he would finally go out and have some fun, but it turns out I was naive."

"That day I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning. I couldn't stay awake any longer and wanted to buy a bottle of coffee to keep myself awake. I was surprised to find that there were people in the convenience store taking turns watching the entrance to the building. At first, I thought I had run into some colleagues, so I went over and started bragging to them. But then they asked me if I knew anything about butterflies?"

"I thought Butterfly was a celebrity, and to save face for a senior in the industry, I casually said we knew each other. Who knew that just thirty seconds later, really, thirty seconds later, two cars drove right up to us!"

"It's all tears when I tell you! I never imagined that my first time riding in a police car would be because I was bragging to the plainclothes officers in the Criminal Investigation Division."

The paparazzi were so angry they cried, and netizens became even more interested in Han Fei after seeing the statement released by that entertainment reporter.

An actor who can get paparazzi to issue a special statement is truly extraordinary.

The online buzz surrounding Han Fei and "Twin Flowers" continues to grow, showing signs of going viral. Keep in mind that this is only the first day of its release, less than twelve hours into the film.

Han Fei's own social media account has also surpassed 100,000 followers, with a very rapid growth rate. He started to consider whether he should subscribe to a membership or something.

Silently observing the various topics online, Han Fei received more praise in just one hour than he had received in the previous twenty-five years combined.

Many netizens left very heartwarming comments, and even his closed-off heart showed subtle cracks.

Because the tension he had been feeling while working on "Perfect Life" eased, and as more and more people liked him and left him messages, Han Fei felt a sense of joy.

He still couldn't smile from the bottom of his heart, but he knew he was happy at this moment.

At that very moment, a subtle change occurred in the black box deep within Han Fei's mind.

Only the most unfortunate people can possess the black box, and everyone who has possessed the black box becomes even more unfortunate, but Han Fei seems to be an exception.

"Big brother! What are you doing outside?! Lots of people are looking for you!"

Director Jiang and the production assistant walked out of the private room with their phones. They searched the room for a long time but couldn't find Han Fei, so they all ran out.

"It's a bit noisy inside, so I came out for some fresh air." Han Fei had his usual smile on his face.

"A big director wants to see you! He wants you to star in his new drama! Hurry! He's been waiting for you for ages!" Director Jiang hurriedly handed his phone to Han Fei. Behind Director Jiang, several other people were also looking at Han Fei with their phones still connected to the call.

Because Han Fei left the private room, most of the people in the room ran out.

The corridor was bustling with activity, while the private rooms seemed rather deserted.

Staring blankly at the ever-increasing number of views on the projection screen, young actor Wu Li coughed and then reached out to touch Qian Cheng.

"Director, are you feeling embarrassed to come alone, so you wanted to ask me to come along and embarrass you?"

"Did I... say anything inappropriate before?" Qian Cheng put down his wine glass and looked at Wu Li beside him.

With a wry smile, Wu Li said honestly, "Everything you said seems inappropriate. Jiang Yi just received a call from Director Zhang, who specifically requested that Han Fei participate in his new drama."

"Is that Director Zhang who sat in the front row at the awards ceremony today?"

"Yes, that's Director Zhang, the one who asked someone to take a photo with him, but was stopped by their bodyguard."

Qian Cheng felt increasingly uncomfortable as he listened. He pulled Wu Li and quietly walked to the door of the private room, preparing to slip away. Just then, he overheard Han Fei politely declining Director Zhang's invitation on the phone.

"Director Zhang, I still need to cooperate with the police investigation. Until the real culprit is caught, I need to accept their protection and cannot leave Xinhu City for the time being." Han Fei was telling the truth, and the reasons he gave were also very objective. Director Zhang expressed his understanding and hoped to cooperate with Han Fei in the future.

The crew members in the corridor all heard Han Fei reject Director Zhang, which seemed unbelievable to them.

"Han Fei, why don't you reconsider?" Jiang Yi genuinely wanted what was best for Han Fei.

"Safety first, I'll only accept roles for filming in Shanghai for now." Unbeknownst to him, Han Fei had gone from being the one being chosen to being the one choosing scripts; his mindset had completely changed. "Everyone, go back. Don't all stand in the corridor; it will disturb the other guests in the private rooms."

Han Fei led the way toward the private room, and everyone followed him. They happened to see Qian Cheng and Wu Li preparing to slip away.

Under the gaze of so many people, Qian Cheng's lips trembled with embarrassment. After holding back for a long time, he finally walked up to Han Fei and said, "Congratulations! Your viewing record today will probably be hard to break for similar works in the future. Amazing!"

“Records are just data. Besides, aren’t records meant to be broken?” Han Fei walked past Qian Cheng and began discussing the new movie with Jiang Yi.

In order to one day allow the wronged souls of the underworld to see the murderer brought to justice, and also to gain their favor, Han Fei wants to film a series of true stories.

He wanted to reconstruct the case related to the Deep World, then send the filmed movie into the shallow world of "Perfect Life," and then, through a summoning ritual, have the players' wandering spirits send those movies into the Deep World.

This was a waste of time, but Han Fei wanted to bring a glimmer of hope to the wandering souls in the deep world.

For many people, they have already done everything they can to avoid being changed by the world.

Han Fei, however, chose a more difficult path. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he plunged into the deeper world, a place forever shrouded in darkness. He wanted to raise the fire in his hand and tell the people in the darkness that there was still light in this world.
