"Brush!——"
Du Sheng raised his hand and flicked it, and the short sword whizzed out.
Hong Qinbao spit out his cigar, stood up and kicked him, hitting the hilt of his short knife.
Du Sheng said nothing and took the lead in launching the offensive.
With a quick side kick, he went straight towards Hong Yinbao.
Hong Yinbao quickly turned sideways, blocked with his arm, and at the same time punched Du Sheng in the abdomen with his backhand.
Du Sheng dodged nimbly, and then swept his legs low in an attempt to trip his opponent.
Hong Yinbao was huge but extremely agile. He jumped hard and dodged the blow.
Du Sheng roared and rushed forward again.
The two fought back and forth in the nightclub hall, exchanging fists and kicks, and every contact was accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.
Du Sheng is agile, powerful, and moves swiftly and fiercely, with every move carrying the determination to kill.
Hong Yinbao, on the other hand, relied on his huge body and rich fighting experience to deal with it calmly.
The two of them were going back and forth with each other, and the scene was extremely intense.
"A Sheng, your punching rhythm and burst are very good, but your persistence in justice and your anger towards Wang Bao are not quite there yet!"
Ye Weixin reminded through the intercom.
"Brother Bao, pay attention to your eyes. From arrogant and domineering at the beginning, to a trace of panic when you resist tenaciously..."
Du Sheng said nothing with a sullen face, kicked his legs quickly, and then punched Hong Yinbao on the chin.
Hong Yinbao's head suddenly tilted and he almost fell, but he immediately stabilized his body and hit Du Sheng's ribs with a backhand elbow.
Du Sheng grunted, but did not flinch. Instead, he accelerated his attack.
Every attack he made seemed to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
As time passed, Hong Yanbao gasped and gradually felt the pressure brought by Du Sheng.
Their expressions, eyes and movements all vividly show the inner world of the characters.
"Damn it, you can't beat me!"
Hong Yanbao roared, trying to overwhelm the opponent with his momentum.
Du Sheng pressed forward step by step, each punch carrying the determination to kill.
"Your time is over, Wang Bao!"
He said coldly, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
Finally, after a fierce life-and-death struggle, Du Sheng found Hong Yinbao's flaw and punched him hard in the chest. Hong Yinbao fell to the ground.
Just when Du Sheng thought victory was in sight, Hong Pianbao suddenly used his last strength, grabbed Du Sheng's ankle and dragged him to the ground...
"Cut!"
Ye Weixin shouted and the filming was temporarily stopped.
He looked at the picture on the monitor with satisfaction and praised the actors' performance.
"A Sheng, Brother Bao, your cooperation is great, this fight scene is simply perfect!"
Ye Weixin praised.
Du Sheng and Hong Yanbao wiped the sweat from their foreheads and smiled at each other.
"Sir Ye, thank you for the award. Please come off work again tonight, so you can have a late night snack."
Seeing that everyone was a little tired, Du Sheng smiled and cheered.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became lively.
"The next step is the last scene, the ending of the Hong Kong version. Are you ready?"
After a short break, Ye SIR picked up the guide tube and asked.
"OK, it's time to start!"
The field recorder answered easily.
Following the director's order, filming continued.
Wang Bao pushed Ma Jun downstairs. After Ma Jun fell, he hit the car in which Wang Bao's wife and son were riding downstairs, causing the death of Wang Bao's wife and son.
This scene was witnessed by Wang Bao with his own eyes, and his grief-stricken expression moved everyone present.
This ending is full of drama and tragedy, and further deepens the theme of the film.
The former ending is for passing the review in the mainland, and the latter ending is for promoting it internationally.
"Cut! Very good, that's all for today's shooting."
Ye SIR announced loudly:
"Everyone pack up, Boss Du, please have a midnight snack!"
The entire crew burst into warm applause, bringing this wonderful shooting to a successful conclusion.
After the filming ended that night, Du Sheng couldn't leave her alone because Fan Bingbing came to visit the team and also invited Zhang Baizhi.
But there are dozens of people in the crew, so it's difficult to do it all.
He simply gave the money to director Ye Weixin and asked him to help arrange it.
Then he took Zhang Baizhi, Fan Bingbing, Wu Liang and other acquaintances to a table, and went to a nearby hot pot restaurant to cook on the stove.
The cobblestone street in Central is the epitome of Hong Kong's urban culture. Many movies such as "Dragon and Phoenix" and "Infernal Affairs" were filmed here.
At this time, there are still tens of thousands of practitioners gathered in Hong Kong.
During this period, three crews were stationed here, so it was quite lively.
A group of insiders who gathered for dinner nearby after the show just discussed with each other in low voices when they saw Du Sheng.
Although most of them are martial arts practitioners or young actors, they are used to seeing celebrities and no longer have the enthusiasm to chase stars.
They not only cherish the dream of becoming stars, but most of them have a muddle-headed attitude.
When they saw Du Sheng, Fan Bingbing and others, some even thought that these mainlanders were here to steal their jobs.
So even more indifferent.
At this time, the TV was turned on in the store, and the tenth episode of TVB's "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was playing.
The plot is probably about an ambiguous episode where Xu Ziling and Hanhan are trapped in the ice and snow, and their hatred gives rise to love.
Many people in the store made a fuss when they saw Hanhan, who was barefoot and showing her tender white snowy back, ready to sacrifice herself.
Huanwan in this scene is so charming!
"Hey, look over there! Are they Huanwan and Xu Ziling?"
A young actor pointed to the box on Du Sheng's side and exclaimed.
In an instant, the eyes of the twenty or thirty diners in the store were all directed towards him.
However, when the waiter brought the food in just now, the door to the private room was not completely closed.
The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, starring Du Sheng, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei, etc., premiered simultaneously on TVB + Blueberry Channel + Modu TV last week.
Today happens to be the broadcast time of episode 10, and it happens to be another scene of Huan Huan Lu's ambiguous devotion.
Being commented on in public makes Fan Bingbing a little shy even though she has a strong conscience.
She held Du Sheng's arm, looking a little charming and shy:
"It's a bit embarrassing. Why is it in this section? Everyone is looking at me."
Du Sheng patted her arm and comforted her:
"It's okay, don't worry about this, let's move on after eating."
He had previously proposed to eat at Longxianglou, but unexpectedly, this girl said that she hadn't eaten in a long time and just wanted to have a meal nearby, so it was expected that she would be recognized.
But there were no paparazzi around, and Wu Liang and others were sitting with him, so it didn't matter.
Zhang Baizhi, who was sitting on the other side of him, didn't care about this, but smiled:
"Your drama has become very popular recently. TVB's ratings on the first day reached 34%. It is normal for it to attract attention."
There is one thing she hasn't said yet, that is, Xiangjiang's opinions are relatively broad and cannot be controlled by other people's gossip.
About 60% of the customers in the store are men.
When they saw this beautiful scene on TV, they all stopped their chopsticks and glanced at Du Sheng and his group from time to time.
Although they recognized that the protagonists in the play were dining nearby, they did not come forward to disturb them.
If it had been anywhere else, I'm afraid people would have been watching and taking pictures.
Of course, although people here will not blindly chase stars, they will inevitably have feelings of jealousy or envy in their hearts.
Especially under the influence of alcohol, some people become even more unabashed in their speech.
"In addition to Xu Ziling's handsome appearance, I think his acting skills are just average."
"No wonder TVB is in decline, why would it find mainland artists to play the leading role?"
Wu Liang paused with the chopsticks in his hands, and seeing that Du Sheng didn't say anything, he continued to enjoy the food.
"This kind of ambiguous drama is very boring. If you lie down without being moved, you might as well watch a neon action movie."
It was still in a side box, and several insiders who had drunk too much were chatting with each other, using the local filthy language.
"I really don't know why the person who plays Huanwan got the role of TVB's heroine."
"If there weren't some rules in this, I wouldn't believe it even to death."
"And that Du Sheng, who originally was just a martial artist, earning fifty yuan a day, but if he hadn't hooked up with a female producer, he would probably be worse than us."
"..."
These people are obviously drunk, jealous, or simply disgusting.
After all, Fan Bingbing is not from Xiangjiang and cannot be as calm as Zhang Baizhi.
Du Sheng smiled and patted her shoulder and said:
"If a cat or dog bites someone, you won't bite them back."
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the open box over there. There were nine people in total.
Three of them are of relatively tall build, while the remaining six are of medium build.
There were several bottles of white wine on their table. Everyone's face was red from the alcohol, and they had obviously drank a lot.
This made Du Sheng shake his head.
He really didn't want to argue with these drunkards. After all, as a public figure, if you conflict with them, you may not be able to escape the headlines the next day.
However, this group of people kept making rude remarks and spoiling their mood during the meal.
Before Du Sheng could take any action, Wu Liang had already stood up.
The boss's daughter, who came in with the dishes, noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to ease the situation:
"Brother Sheng, don't be angry. I am your loyal fan...I especially love watching your dramas."
After saying that, she whispered to Wu Liang:
"Don't be impulsive. These people drink too much and do nothing all day long. Don't argue with them."
Du Sheng responded with a smile:
"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
He looked at the nine people in the box over there and said calmly:
"If you want to discuss my TV series, feel free.
If you want to comment on me, that's fine, but please don't insult girls. ”
Fan Bingbing gently pulled his arm, shook her head and whispered:
"How about we eat somewhere else."
She had seen everyone on the crew having midnight snacks at roadside stalls before, so in order not to give people the impression of being a big shot, she suggested to go with the crowd.
Now it seems that it is a bit too low-key.
Wu Liang clenched his fists and stood beside Du Sheng, obviously trying to vent his anger.
Du Sheng glanced at him sideways and said with a smile:
"If you're going to hang around here from now on, forget it."
Wu Liang opened his mouth and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, after hearing Du Sheng's words, the people over there became drunk.
They all stood up and cursed angrily:
"Why, do you really think that being famous is a big deal?"
"I'll attack your mother! Believe it or not, I'll beat you until your teeth are all over the floor."
"..."
The curse words came flooding in, and Du Sheng frowned.
But he did not want to implicate innocent people, and planned to take Zhang Baizhi, Fan Bingbing and others out first.
The group of people thought he was afraid, and they laughed unscrupulously.
"How dare you call yourself an Asian boxing star? You don't have the guts to be a gangster."
"He is indeed a pretty boy, a coward."
Du Sheng sent the group outside the door and suddenly asked:
"Who has cash on them?"
Zhang Baizhi guessed what he was going to do. The excitement was not too big, so he took out two thousand Hong Kong dollars with a smile:
"Two thousand is enough, just don't break too many."
Fan Bingbing held his hand and said nervously:
"Asheng, they are outnumbered, let's go."
"It's okay, I'm just trying to reason with them."
Du Sheng glanced around to make sure there were no cameras, paparazzi or reporters lurking.
Since the shooting tonight was not enjoyable enough and I still have some unfinished ideas, my hands are indeed itchy.
He turned around and entered the box over there, and kindly closed the door.
Wu Liang, who was also young and energetic, followed closely behind.
But before he could open the door, he heard dishes breaking, tables and chairs overturning, and screams of pain coming from inside.
When Wu Liang entered, he saw that Du Sheng had finished explaining his reasoning and was turning around leisurely to come out.
In just a moment, there were already several people lying on the ground moaning.
The remaining three people have completely lost their previous arrogance and are now as silent as a tortoise.
Two of them were completely sobered up by the truth, covering their red and swollen cheeks in shock.
Although everyone in the industry knew that Du Sheng was good in the ring, they didn't expect that his actual combat ability was so strong!
In less than two seconds, he knocked down six people with three punches and two kicks. This efficiency was simply astonishing.
Fortunately, he was in the private room and no outsiders could notice him.
Otherwise, the scene just now might have caused a wave of heat.
It is precisely because there is no possibility of leaving any evidence that Du Sheng dares to convince people with virtue...
Without evidence, even if someone breaks the news to the media, it will be useless.
Fans will naturally fight back against the media with ‘malicious slander’.
Zhang Baizhi was not surprised by this, and even walked to the cashier and smiled at the boss's daughter:
"Is two thousand enough to compensate for the loss of chairs and stools?"
The boss’s daughter was stunned there, and it took a few seconds to come back to her senses:
"Enough compensation, enough compensation!"
After Du Sheng left, the boss's daughter murmured to herself:
"He's so handsome. If a man protects me like this, I will definitely marry him! Woohoo."
……
Du Sheng closed the box door and said to Wu Liang and others:
"Let's go and eat somewhere else."
After leaving the door, Fan Bingbing grabbed his hand with some anxiety and whispered:
"A Sheng, will there be no problem?"
Wu Liang was about to speak but stopped, but Du Sheng held his shoulder. He immediately understood what Du Sheng meant and shut his mouth.
Du Sheng smiled and said:
"I just went in to reason with them. What's the problem?"
Fan Bingbing looked him up and down, making some guesses:
"Just now I seemed to hear screams and the sound of bottles exploding. Was it really a fight?"
Du Sheng pulled her forward and said with a smile:
"Look at me, my face is calm and my heart is not beating. How can I look like I've been in a fight?"
Zhang Baizhi smiled and took the initiative to pull Fan Bingbing forward:
"There is a mutton-shabu restaurant over there. I haven't eaten there for a long time. Let's try it."
Since I hadn’t eaten anything just now and I was still hungry, I decided to change to a different restaurant.
This store is relatively high-end, and it is virtually class-separated.
Coincidentally, "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also playing on the in-store TV.
Guests at several tables in the lobby were enjoying delicious food and watching the show.
After Du Sheng and his group came in, they immediately attracted a lot of attention...
It's just different from the situation in the previous store. Customers here even came over happily and asked to take photos.
"Du Sheng, your performance as Xu Ziling is so cool!"
"The autographed photos of the sniper god will never be sold for less than 50,000. We are so prosperous!"
"..."
Du Sheng and others met the customer's requirements one by one, and it took about ten minutes to complete the group photo.
After finishing their midnight snack, he took the two girls back to the hotel and began to teach them real kung fu in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
Due to the protracted process, Zhang Baizhi and Fan Bingbing made no progress on certain moves of Crane Fist. Tonight's discussion was destined to start in two hours.
As the saying goes, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the joy is unlimited.
………
At the same time, with the popularity of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", there are many related reports online and offline.
Because the TVB ratings of the latest episode have reached 36.2%, it is expected to break the highest ratings record of the year.
Blueberry Channel and Modu TV also showed a high opening of 10.6% and 9.8% respectively.
Although it is not as good as "Sword and Sword 1", on local channels where the general ratings are below 5%, this data is enough to crush everything.
Not long ago, according to Zhong Zhen, six local stations, Bay City TVBS, Neon Fuji TV, Kimchi Country KBS and other TV stations have sent copyright negotiations.
In addition to Star Media achieving another great performance, fans were also overjoyed.
For example, the number of fans following Du Sheng's homepage on Renren.com has increased from 2.6 million to 3.8 million.
This also means that the number of members of Renren has increased significantly.
The most obvious example is that since "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was broadcast, there have been thousands of posts on the homepage every day.
These posts are either discussing Du Sheng's acting skills, praising his appearance, or talking about the last time he went abroad to hook up with several wealthy ladies...
According to the popularity of discussions on the entire Internet, this data is probably not an exaggeration to call him the number one niche player in the mainland.
Even the "Four Little Heavenly Kings" who are currently popular now have to lament that their future life is formidable.
In late September, after rushing through most of the scenes, Du Sheng had to leave Xiangjiang again.
Because the Interstellar Media headquarters has finally been completed, the move-in celebration will be held the day after tomorrow.
Last week, Zhong Zhen had arranged for people to send invitation letters to important guests, partners, media reporters and all employees in advance.
In order to expand the company's influence and popularity, in addition to a press conference and a tour of the new headquarters, there will also be a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This relocation of the headquarters is an important milestone. As one of the founders, Du Sheng has to go back and participate no matter how busy he is.
In addition, after finishing this work, I have to attend the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
The reason why Interstellar Media places its headquarters in Hengdian Film and Television Industrial Park is that in addition to the complete film and television industry infrastructure and preferential policies here,
The biggest reason is that there is a prosperous film and television entertainment industry ecological chain adjacent to it.
For example, equipment that integrates high-tech studio, post-production, and work and life support functions can easily provide post-production services such as editing, special effects, dubbing, and color correction for film and television works.
The nearly 2,000 square meters of independent office buildings and supporting facilities at the Star Media headquarters are enough to expand all aspects of business.
After visiting the headquarters with senior executives of major TV stations, CEO of Ruan Xing Technology, and others, Du Sheng was finally able to take a break after being busy for nearly a day.
But before he could get together with Fan Bingbing and Jia Qingwen, another call came in.
After Du Sheng listened thoughtfully, he asked the two girls to go ahead while he drove to Qingyi Tea House.
