Chapter 150 Crushed [Thank you for finding your lover and waiting for your lover, Xianyun Bu rewards! 】
However, this girl was still full of resentment and nagging:
"It's hard for you to come here, why don't I ask for leave and come out."
Du Sheng knew very well how much this film meant to her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it would affect her life, so she sternly refused:
"You are on an outlying island. How long does it take to go back and forth?
Have a good time filming and don’t rush into martial arts training. I will visit you next time when I have time! ”
"Unforgettable" can be said to be tailor-made by Er Dongsheng for Zhang Baizhi.
Not only did she win the Academy Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop, she also became the youngest in history to win the Academy Award for Best Actress.
It would take others more than ten years to complete the growth path from newcomer to actress, but it only took Zhang Baizhi four years.
How important is it to win a Best Actress Award?
Just like Zhang Manyu's role in "Ruan Lingyu", she rose to the top of the list.
Cheung Pak-chi's performance in "Unforgettable" also made her the best actress, and she has firmly established herself as one of the top female actors in Hong Kong.
As long as you don't commit suicide, your future is limitless.
In addition, their previous collaborative album "Beloved" is already on the market and selling well.
I wonder if it was due to the scandal between the two that the public was a little curious.
It is indeed a hot seller right now.
It broke through 1 platinum level within one week of its launch, and is expected to hit double platinum sales.
Don't underestimate this number.
The record industry is currently in a downturn, and there are only a handful of Hong Kong singers who can achieve double platinum sales.
And judging from the feedback from video store owners, not only are there a lot of repeat customers, but the response is also good.
Especially the sub-hit song "Only I Have Feelings for You", both the lyrics, melody and MV have received a lot of praise.
Only then did Du Sheng understand why his reputation suddenly soared. It was most likely caused by this.
No wonder Zhang Baizhi was so excited and proactive after knowing that he had arrived. It turned out to be a sense of gratitude.
Without the involvement of a man, it is inevitable that her singing career would have stalled and her release would have been perfunctory.
How can I be so lucky to be reborn?
A few days ago, Worldwide Records changed its attitude towards her, and even vaguely offered to renew her contract at a premium.
Du Sheng knew that this girl had no intention of staying any longer, and even proposed to set up a record company with him.
Considering that her album was about half a year away, he just smiled and said he could consider it.
It's too early to say this now. We'll wait until the music library is fuller, or some past classics can be reproduced.
Early the next morning, Du Sheng came to the headquarters of Goldlion.
This clothing company was established in 1981 and now has more than 500 sales stores in China and more than 1,200 sales points in more than 30 countries and regions around the world. It can be called a first-line brand in Hong Kong.
After the Zheng family became a shareholder two years ago, the store and business have continued to grow. The product line includes T-shirts, shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, bags and accessories.
Du Sheng came here just to shoot a T-shirt and pants endorsement.
"Brother Sheng, the endorsement is 300,000 yuan a year, and the shooting is completed in one day. This is like picking up for nothing!"
This time Wang Yaoyang also came, looking at the tall building in front of him and saying excitedly.
"It's okay, just don't delay tonight's game."
Du Sheng looked calm, after all, he had agreed before.
If you don't consider long-term advertising for now, this endorsement is indeed good.
In addition, it was given as a gift by the Zheng family in order to win over him. The contract was very loose and did not clearly stipulate competing products.
Of course, if this quote is looked at more than ten years later, it may not even be considered a cabbage price.
But now it is a regular offer for popular mainland stars.
Compared with Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, who often charge millions, the advertising endorsement prices of mainland stars are generally much lower, usually only a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Only a few people can reach more than a million.
And the so-called endorsement fees of many A-list celebrities exceeding one million are actually self-promotion.
Not long ago, an advertiser negotiated an endorsement deal with a mainland front-line youngster, and revealed that there was no need to negotiate for a fee exceeding one million.
A few days later, the niche agent took the initiative to lower the price to 800,000, but the advertiser still said it needed to consider it.
Worried about losing the endorsement opportunity, the agent had to hint that the base price was 500,000 to 600,000.
It can be seen from this that the endorsement prices of mainland celebrities below the first-tier level will only be cheaper.
Some may even forego this portion of their income just to maintain a semblance of glamour.
Wang Yaoyang chuckled and said:
“Actually, this endorsement suits you well, and you don’t have to worry about overturning.”
Du Sheng nodded. In fact, he mainly considered this aspect.
He is short of money, but he will not blindly accept money blindly.
After all, I am just starting out now. In order not to scratch my feet, I naturally attach more importance to this image.
In his previous life, he had seen many advertising endorsements fail.
For example, Ma Moumou's "Tea Gate", Happy Family Li Moumou's tea drinking escape, etc., can be described as a huge mistake.
In addition, there are those involving political issues, which the other party has to avoid no matter how high the price is.
Because once the other party explodes, he will not only lose money but also lose his popularity, which is simply a stain on his life.
As for the endorsement of a big brand like the Zheng family, it does not have these hidden dangers and does not need to cooperate with the other party's promotion at all times. It is indeed safe.
When we arrived at the studio, the brand's publicity director was already on site.
This is the first advertisement between Goldlion and Du Sheng, and since Zheng Zetao personally spoke about it, the brand attaches great importance to it. As soon as Du Sheng entered the dressing room, he was enthusiastically surrounded by three makeup artists.
They began to meticulously take care of his hair, starting with a perm using curling irons.
Although the potion was disposable, Du Sheng could still feel the slight warmth.
However, after putting on a simple T-shirt and casual pants, the three makeup artists shook their heads after reviewing the effect.
For the second try, the makeup artists used mousse to style the hair.
Du Sheng glanced at himself in the makeup mirror and felt that his image was quite chic and neat.
Unfortunately, the three makeup artists could not agree on this, so they started over again.
After washing the hair, the makeup artists directly use a hair dryer to blow the hair into frizz, and then use hair wax to style it.
The upper body effect of this look makes Du Sheng look masculine and tough, like a fighter who is always ready to face challenges.
Throughout the entire makeup process, Wang Yaoyang had been sitting quietly in the corner of the dressing room, witnessing the makeup artists' repeated efforts.
He understands the importance of the brand as a sponsor, so he always maintains silence and respect.
The photographer is a typical eagle country guy, and his style is completely different from that of the makeup artists.
He asked Du Sheng to wear a T-shirt with Li Xiaolong's pattern on it, put on a corresponding fighting stance, and completed the shooting quickly and decisively.
The entire process takes less than half an hour.
After Du Sheng saw the untouched photos, he couldn't help but smile and nod:
"Not bad, quite photogenic."
In the photo, he is staring straight ahead, focused, handsome, and very three-dimensional.
At this time, the publicity director who had never spoken finally broke his silence and said:
“Do you know why you were asked to take photos of Li Xiaolong’s co-branded clothing?”
Du Sheng raised his eyebrows and said:
"Carry forward Eastern culture and show the unyielding spirit of the East?"
The publicity director nodded approvingly and said:
"In addition to allowing you to show your love and dedication to the fighting career, it also reflects the quality of our Jinlilai's dedication to the clothing industry."
For example, Du Sheng's posture not only demonstrates his personal style and excellent strength, but also reflects the excellent quality of Goldlion's clothing.
Wang Yaoyang secretly smacked his tongue when he heard it. It turned out that advertising and endorsements were not just about being cool, but there were so many more things.
However, he was flattered that 300,000 yuan was pocketed so easily.
After saying goodbye and leaving, Du Sheng went directly back to the hotel to take a rest.
The final will be held at 7 o'clock in the evening, and there will be a paid PPV live broadcast. You must recharge your batteries and enter the venue in advance to undergo inspection.
There will be two games tonight and the draw results are out.
As an extremely concerned person and intelligence agent, Ma Yaowei had already sent the collected information.
[‘Kickboxing Maniac’ Sato Yoshihiro VS Nanyang ONE Light Heavyweight Champion Yasana]
[‘Holan Bear’ Gabriel VS ‘Mainland Dark Horse’ Du Sheng]
Du Sheng briefly glanced at the enthusiasm for betting between the kickboxing madman and Yasanna.
Unexpectedly, the organizers and the public are optimistic about Yasana.
The odds given by Wai Wei are 2.01:2.89:1.88.
But he didn’t pay too much attention.
Ma Yaowei would not let Ma Yaowei place a bet if he was not sure, but would focus on his opponent.
As we all know, Holan is a big fighting country with a strong fighting atmosphere, especially its standing skills, which are ranked among the top three in the world.
Gabriel was deeply influenced by it and was one of the best.
He is 181cm tall, weighs 88kg, has a wingspan of 180CM, bench press 145kg, squat 351kg, right fist 646, and left fist 443.
He practiced Kyokushin karate with a wide variety of kick techniques, including arc kicks, downward splits, back swing kicks, and front kicks.
In particular, the hidden trick of splitting the legs is very powerful and difficult to defend, and the attack part is the head. Once hit, he will collapse on the spot.
Career statistics:
20 fights, 16 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw, 10 knockouts (knockdown rate 64%)
With his outstanding performance, Gabriel has held two championship honors in Holan FIMAC and European IKBF, becoming a rising boxing star in Holan.
Last year, Neon’s K-1GP undifferentiated competition selected eight top players from around the world for a century showdown.
Gabriel was one of the invited representatives.
The other players are all current champions of world-wide free fighting organizations such as WKA, WAKO, ISKA, WMTA, etc. They can be called the real-life version of the best martial arts club in the world!
Although he missed the championship, he made it to the finals.
This time I came to participate in "Legend of Martial Arts". In addition to the special invitation from the organizer and the prize money, I also came here to gain fame in Asia again.
Not surprisingly, both the organizers and the public are optimistic about Gabriel.
The odds given by Wai Wei are 2.13:3.12:1.81.
Even some Xiangjiang citizens who were originally optimistic about Du Sheng were a little shaken.
After all, the weight difference is 26 kilograms, which is a crushing attribute in irregular fighting.
Since the top 64, Gabriel has been very controversial because all the players he played against all came off the stage with injuries.
Therefore, the citizens of Xiangjiang gave him another nickname, "Bear Bomber".
But the strange thing is that in the news media reports, Du Sheng is almost always the one.
Although there are reasons such as race, skin color, national preference, Zhang Baizhi's scandal, etc., this still makes Gabriel quite unhappy.
