Chapter 373: Intrigue
"Huh?"
Wang Yaoyang was slightly surprised.
Because he had already informed the hotel and did not want to be disturbed, especially those media with keen sense of smell.
Opening the door, I saw a group of visitors standing at the door.
Among them was Zhou Huimin.
She has a tired look on her face and her eyes are red, but she can't hide her pure and refined beauty, which makes people feel pity for her.
Along with them were men and women of all ages, including a policewoman in police uniform.
Seeing Wang Yaoyang opening the door, Zhou Huimin was stunned and asked cautiously:
"Is Mr. Du here?"
Wang Yaoyang guessed something in his mind and said:
"Yes, please come in."
He understood Zhou Huimin's state of mind at the moment. No woman would be able to calm down when encountering such an incident.
And last night, the other party suppressed his shock and went on stage to perform a charity concert.
Zhou Huimin stepped forward and bowed deeply to Du Sheng, who was a little surprised:
"Mr. Du, thank you for last night."
She handed over a black bag with the Kung Fu School logo:
"There is nothing to repay, I can only make some compensation."
Du Sheng took it with a smile and said gently:
"Just call me by my name. Don't worry about what happened last night.
And you came all the way from Hong Kong to support our charity, that is, you are a friend, and there is no need to be polite between friends. ”
Seeing Du Sheng accept it, Zhou Huimin showed a smile on her pure and white face:
"I'm also an image ambassador, and that's what it should be."
Along with Zhou Huimin, in addition to the assistant, there were also representatives from the event organizer and the Modu police commissioner.
The purpose of their trip was not only to express their gratitude, but also to hope that Du Sheng would not over-publicize the matter and try to reduce the negative impact.
Du Sheng naturally agreed.
There's no need for him to hype this up.
Subsequently, several parties held a small media meeting in a conference room of the hotel,
Journalists waiting outside the hotel were invited to set the record straight.
An entertainment reporter asked first:
"Mr. Du, why did you risk your own life to protect Miss Zhou Huimin? What was your thinking?"
This question implies a lot of speculation.
Someone on the Internet maliciously arranged that Du Sheng was so heroic in order to create a scene of a hero saving a beauty.
He even joked that Zhou Huimin is indeed a beauty that can be remembered by three generations of grandparents, and the charm that makes Du Sheng upside down is indeed extraordinary.
Du Sheng calmly said:
"If I had had time to think at that time, maybe you would never have had the chance to interview Miss Zhou and me here."
The reporters smiled softly.
On the other hand, even if you are being treated in a hospital, you won’t even be able to tell the truth.
The reporter was unwilling to give in and asked again:
"Comments on the Internet said, were you willing to take action only after seeing Zhou Huimin?"
Du Sheng saw the gentle and elegant Zhou Huimin sitting next to him and said calmly:
"Ms. Zhou is indeed worthy of everyone, and I am no exception.
But no matter who it is, I will not hesitate. ”
Another reporter was curious:
"You are now a hot star and have great responsibility for your own safety. What drives you to do this?"
Du Sheng thought for a while and asked:
"I think this has nothing to do with identity. Since I have the ability to stop evil, why should I watch in vain?"
The current society is not as indifferent as later generations, and there is not so much intrigue.
When I saw an old man fall, he not only ignored me for fear of being blackmailed, but he also asked me why I helped him if he didn't fall down.
The reporters nodded slightly:
"He is worthy of being a charity boxing champion, capable and responsible!"
Zhou Huimin's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
It seems that he didn't expect that the person next to him had such a great sense of responsibility.
As she subconsciously clapped, a burst of applause erupted in the conference room.
Although it was not enthusiastic, it also expressed the recognition of Du Sheng by the people present.
Another reporter asked:
"Mr. Du Sheng, netizens are very curious about the moves you used to react quickly."
Du Sheng didn’t hide it either, explaining:
"That's a move in Crane Fist, called 'White Crane Spreads Wings'."
"White crane spreads its wings?"
This name is very fanciful, and it also means that the boxing champion in front of him knows a lot of skills.
The reporters quickly recorded that there was enough news material for today.
When no more details could be obtained from Du Sheng, reporters' attention turned to Zhou Huimin.
Although she was in poor mental condition, she still appeared polite and polite when asked questions, showing the qualities that a former music diva should have.
The organizers and police representatives also answered relevant questions one by one.
After the media meeting, Du Sheng and Zhou Huimin exchanged contact information.
But he couldn't say much because Ni Zhen arrived and picked up Zhou Huimin without a few words.
Wang Yaoyang curled his lips:
“As a boyfriend, it’s so rude to say thank you so perfunctorily.”
Du Sheng smiled and made no comment.
After all, not everyone can tolerate a girlfriend throwing herself into someone else's arms.
According to Ni Zhen's character, it is estimated that this pair of men and women, who were already at odds due to deviance, may still have disputes in the future.
But these have nothing to do with him. If they do, they will happen in the future, so he is too lazy to pay attention to them for the time being.
As soon as I got in the car and was about to go to the airport, a long-distance call came in.
Du Sheng answered the phone and heard the voice of TVB Production Department Producer Zeng Lizhen:
"Hello, Mr. Du, I am Zeng Lizhen.
Regarding the drama we are preparing, I would like to discuss the casting with you. ”
Du Sheng took a sip of tea and said:
"Producer Zeng, please tell me."
Preparations for this drama began last month. TVB and Star Media each invested 20 million. It is considered a large-scale production at this stage. Zeng Lizhen's tone revealed a hint of anxiety and expectation:
"I wonder if you have heard of our actor Lin Feng. I think his character is quite suitable for the role of Kou Zhong. How about you swap it with him?
Of course, you are still the number one male protagonist, and we plan to strengthen Xu Ziling’s career and emotional lines..."
It's no secret that TVB wants to make Lin Feng its star.
Du Sheng tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, frowning slightly, thinking about what the other party said.
He knew that his image was not completely consistent with Kou Zhong's carefree attitude.
Moreover, in the original work of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are both protagonists, with equal status.
It is not impossible to strengthen Xu Ziling's career and emotional line and promote him to the number one male protagonist, but it is not easy to guarantee the ratings.
After all, Kou Zhong was the number one male protagonist in his previous life, and there were successful cases.
He spoke slowly, with a hint of consideration in his tone:
"Producer Zeng, I understand your thoughts, but will it cause controversy if you change it at will?"
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and Zeng Lizhen's voice rang again, this time with a slight hesitation:
"We have also taken this into consideration, but we believe that through adjustments to the script, we can make up for these differences and make the audience accept it."
Du Sheng thought for a moment, smiled and nodded:
"Since the protagonist has changed, then the heroine should also be changed, right?"
The biggest reason why he agreed, apart from the role fit issue, was naturally the lottery aspect.
Xu Ziling can basically master Kou Zhonghui's martial arts, except for the sword technique he learned from the Heavenly Sword.
Moreover, Xu Ziling not only learned Mahamudra, but also read "The Seal of Immortality", which is all freehand skills and is suitable for modern use.
In addition, he has emotional entanglements with two fairies and witches. If he is lucky, he can also win the "Tian Mo Ce", "Cihang Sword Code" and so on.
Even if you don't win the lottery, as long as you get the volume "Tao Heart Seed Demon", you won't be afraid that women will be bullied in the future.
Zeng Lizhen breathed a sigh of relief:
"Great, I'm afraid you won't agree.
By the way, we also have some ideas about the choice of the heroine. ”
Du Sheng put down the text in his hand and sat up straight:
"Since Xu Ziling is determined to be the first male protagonist, then I think Wanwan and Shi Feixuan should be the first and second heroines.
I hope Fan Bingbing can play Wanwan and Liu Yifei play Shi Feixuan. ”
In "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", regardless of whether it is a novel or a TV series, these two are the most popular female protagonists.
But in the previous TVB version, it was a bit baffling that Li Xiuning was the heroine,
Moreover, she has nothing to do with the two male protagonists, and she is still married to Chai Shao.
This was complained by many original fans at the time.
Since the role of the protagonist has been changed here, the roles of Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, who are related to Xu Ziling, will naturally have to be improved accordingly.
Zeng Lizhen said with some embarrassment:
"Mr. Du, the two actors you proposed are very good, but this drama is a joint investment.
You also know that TVB has its own actor resources and considerations. ”
Du Sheng knew this well and said with a smile:
"Producer Zeng, I know TVB has its own arrangements, but the images and acting skills of Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei are very suitable for these two roles.
If they cannot be cast, it may affect the effectiveness of the show. ”
This is really no joke.
Although the TVB version of the previous life had good overall ratings, the actors who starred in Shi Feixuan and Wanwan were all newcomers, and they were a bit stretched in every aspect.
As for Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei proposed by Du Sheng, although there is a personal relationship, they are more based on the appropriateness of the roles.
For example, Liu Yifei.
She has a fresh and refined temperament and a beautiful and moving appearance in ancient costume, which can show the noble appearance and noble temperament of the master concubine Xuan.
Liu Shishi is also good. Her temperament is elegant and gives people a gentle and peaceful feeling, which is suitable for interpreting Shi Feixuan's compassion and wisdom.
But she has somewhere to go.
The big drama "Water Moon Cave Sky" is about to be prepared by Star Media.
Du Sheng knew very well how successful this show was, but he had no choice but to let his own people reap the benefits.
As for Wanwan’s choice.
Taking into account the charming and coquettish positioning of this character, Du Sheng also had several candidates in mind.
Yang Mi, Jia Chengwen, Fan Bingbing.
Yang Mi is about to enter the college entrance examination. Although she personally wants to act, Du Sheng can still understand the right and wrong.
The most she can do is wait until she finishes the exam before adding another film. Anyway, there are a lot of good dramas in the library.
Not long ago, Jia Chengwen was recommended by Du Sheng for the TVB drama "The Heroes of Chu and Han" produced by Li Tianxuan and starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Jiang Hua.
The drama "Previous Life" received 27% of the ratings in its first week of release in Hong Kong, reaching a peak of 35%, ranking among the top five of TVB and Bay City.
When it was released in mainland China, it also received a lot of praise.
Fang Yihua took into account the subsequent cooperation between the two parties and did not hesitate. Moreover, Jia Chengwen had played Wu Zetian, so it was not impossible for her to play the heroine Lu Pheasant.
Du Sheng knew very well how much this drama had boosted Jia Qingwen's popularity, so he picked out only Fan Bingbing.
Fan Bingbing can not only show Wanwan's charm and cunning, but also show the complexity of the character.
The most important thing is that this girl has not been filming recently, so she called me to chat when she was bored.
Du Sheng considered that there are currently not many domestic film resources and the prices for starring are not high, so it would be a good idea for her to first gain attention in popular TV series.
In her previous life, Fan Bingbing finished her role in "Mobile Phone" and even guest-starred in the uncredited "Ghost 2".
In Du Sheng's opinion, this is completely unnecessary.
The sequel to "A Thousand Chances 2" was also thrown into the street, and the gains outweighed the losses.
In addition, Fan Bingbing also took care of TV series, which she filmed until 2009.
It's just that Du Sheng counted around and found that most of them were obscure films, so he might as well be the one to position the woman.
