Chapter 118 The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front forward!
But it has to be said that sometimes luck is also part of success.
Now, the drama "Dragon Goddess" was promoted by Zhongyao Films before, and now Ye Jingzhi used her connections to help it get promoted.
If he still can’t become popular like this, then Du Sheng can just forget about it.
He suddenly remembered something and reminded me before hanging up the phone:
"After the broadcast of 'Dragon Goddess', if the ratings exceed 5, you go to Zhongyao Films to discuss the investment and co-production of 'The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber'..."
Ye Jingzhi's heart sank, knowing that this would be the focus of the studio in the future, so she made a note of it.
After chatting for a while, Du Sheng put down his phone and was about to find something to fill his stomach when the doorbell rang.
He comes here so late, you don’t have to guess who he is.
When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Baizhi, wearing a mask and with a stand-up collar, waiting there with a lot of bags in her hands.
"Help me carry it in, I'm almost exhausted."
"what is this?"
In fact, as soon as Du Sheng approached, he smelled a fragrance.
Sure enough, as soon as they were placed on the table, Zhang Baizhi laid out a number of exquisite food boxes with a pure smile on her face:
"The old lady prepared a lot of delicious food. In order to avoid waste, I packed some of them and brought them here."
"You come here so late, aren't you afraid that your agent will complain?"
Du Sheng sat down next to her and asked with a smile.
Not long ago, Mrs. Xiang seemed to have learned that her adopted daughter was making friends at a 'lightning speed'. Although she did not say anything to stop it, she indirectly asked about it.
It can be seen that this is because they are worried that Zhang Baizhi will be blinded by love again.
In addition, the Chinese New Year period is the time when artists go on stage to make money, so she turned down a lot of them.
"What are you afraid of? I didn't go anywhere else."
Zhang Baizhi didn't care and greeted with a smile:
“Try this Hong Kong specialty, the emperor’s dish, the taste will definitely leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.”
"I packed it up and kept it warm right after it came out of the pot to ensure that the meat quality was not lost!"
Emperor's dish, also known as Poon Choi, is a must-have dish for Hong Kong people during major festivals and wedding celebrations. It includes ingredients such as lobster, abalone, fish maw, and sea cucumber.
“It’s really delicious.”
Du Sheng didn't say anything else. He picked up a piece of shrimp, put it into his mouth, and gave a thumbs up.
"It's Chinese New Year, may you be prosperous and lucky!"
Zhang Baizhi suddenly winked playfully and extended her hand to Du Sheng.
Hong Kong people are not used to saying "Happy New Year" and they don't say "I wish you happiness" during festivals, because "happy" and "happy" are easily confused and are taboo.
"I'm not even married, why would I want a red envelope?"
Du Sheng smiled, did not give her a red envelope, but put a gift box in her hand.
Zhang Baizhi happily opened the gift box and found an exquisite bracelet inside. Her beautiful eyes lit up immediately.
Du Sheng allowed the woman to hug him and feed him happily, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
What kind of life would it be like if I had a woman to accompany me every Spring Festival?
"Eat quickly, it's frozen."
Zhang Baizhi snuggled in Du Sheng's arms, picked up food for the man herself, and her smile was as pure as water.
A warm feeling arises spontaneously, making people feel peaceful and satisfied.
If Du Qifeng and others knew that this arrogant girl had changed so much, they would probably be surprised.
"Isn't your mother in Australia? When did she come back?"
Du Sheng also noticed the changes in the woman.
Apart from the influence of talent and ability, the other party probably listened to what I said before, which is a good thing.
This means that even if Xie Tingfeng keeps pestering her, it will be difficult for him to snatch this girl away from her.
"Didn't you tell me to be kind to the people around me before?"
Zhang Baizhi let the man hold her, smiling like a flower:
“After I came back to Hong Kong, I also felt that I was too difficult to get along with in the past.
It happened to be the Chinese New Year, so I asked my brother to bring the old lady back..."
In fact, after Du Sheng left that day, she suddenly felt empty and lonely in her heart, and for no reason she recalled what the man had said.
When I think about my past self, how similar I was to the 'unreasonable' Tianzhu Asan?
With a guilty conscience, subtle changes are natural.
To be honest, her childhood was quite unfortunate. Not only was her father a gangster, he also liked to hang out in gambling houses and he always lost nine times out of ten.
Because of this, my parents quarreled every other day.
That’s not all. His father was heavily in debt and was being chased for debt, so he was forced to move frequently.
In desperation, her mother once wanted to sell young Zhang Baizhi to her friends in the Lighthouse Country.
This miserable life continued until her parents divorced when she was 9 years old, and she moved to Australia with her mother.
However, living conditions did not improve. When Zhang Baizhi was not studying, she often went out to do part-time jobs without telling her mother.
It can be said that she was kind-hearted when she was young.
"Do you have a younger brother? I haven't heard you mention him before."
Seeing the woman holding her cheeks and watching him eat, Du Sheng picked up a piece of shrimp and put it into her little mouth.
"Yes, he was born on the same day as me, and he is also an artist..."
Seeing that the man cared about her family, Zhang Baizhi smiled sweetly and told some interesting stories.
Only then did Du Sheng realize that the girl in her arms was actually twins, a boy and a girl, and her dream was to become a nurse.
Unexpectedly, after returning to Hong Kong with this dream, he was discovered by a scout and became famous after shooting a lemon tea advertisement.
The reason why he developed his previous willfulness and arrogance was that he became complacent after becoming famous at a young age.
Simply put, it's expanded.
"So, the last time we met, you were also too arrogant when you treated me like this?"
Du Sheng put down his chopsticks with a half-smile and said:
"It's not unforgivable. Tell me, what kind of punishment do you want?"
Seeing the man looking at her with a smile, Zhang Baizhi said shyly:
"The kind that can't get out of bed!"
Du Sheng chuckled and whispered a few words to the woman.
For no other reason, he just wanted to try the feeling of swelling.
Not long after, Zhang Baizhi, who had changed into a kawaii girl's outfit, stood coquettishly beside the enclosed balcony and said shyly:
"Baba, please have mercy!" She looks pure, like a pure flower in bud waiting to bloom.
At this moment, the cute girl's playful look, every frown and smile reveals a cute and sweet atmosphere, which makes people can't help but think...
Du Sheng's eyes lit up and he walked forward and picked her up.
Since the girl made such an unreasonable request, he must of course satisfy her wishes.
——Didn’t join the group, omitted 30,000 words——
Hearing the crying voices begging dad to be gentler from time to time nearby, the neighbors next door couldn't stand it anymore.
On such a festive occasion as the New Year, it is impossible for parents to beat their daughter like this.
It lasted for more than half an hour!
Listen to how sad and pitiful this cry is.
But in fact, Zhang Baizhi ate particularly full at this New Year's Eve dinner.
And men can do what they say!
Not to mention not getting out of bed, I didn’t even get off the floor…
too exaggerated.
Makes her more attached.
Therefore, during the three-day New Year holiday, the two dogs stayed together all the time.
When in a good mood, I feed them in a special way and enjoy the rare quiet time.
……
["Big" was released, with long queues outside many theaters, and it was a great success in both word-of-mouth and box office]
[Word of mouth is overwhelming! The movie-watching craze of "Big Man, Big Wisdom" swept the country! 】
[Liu Dehua's new film broke the box office record, with 826 million in four days, and is expected to break 3 million! ]
These days, various media and newspapers have been praising "Big Guy" to the skies, successfully attracting more people to go to the theaters.
Because the epidemic was eliminated ahead of schedule, the situation in the mainland is almost the same.
However, blockbusters such as "The Matrix" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" that were withdrawn and postponed for release missed this period and could only watch with envy as "Big Guy" took the lead.
It can be said that apart from a slightly better foreign blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Bullshit" does have the right time and place.
After all, there is no logic in the audience's revenge consumption.
Some institutions have predicted that "Big Guy" will have good reputation and its box office in mainland China will be among the top five of the year, and is expected to be no less than 3500 million.
Du Sheng smiled and put down the newspaper.
It seems that by avoiding many taboos in advance and preventing a one-size-fits-all approach, the film was able to save a lot of box office revenue in the mainland.
This is also beneficial to his popularity and reputation.
Apart from anything else, the number of wb fans has exceeded one million.
Looking at the rising trend, it wouldn't be surprising to see another 300,000 or 400,000.
If we also include the "Dragon Goddess" broadcast in the prime time tonight...
Of course, there is also the residual influence of "Tian Long" here.
During this period, two local TV stations that purchased the copyright have started broadcasting the show, and there should be many more to come.
The Southern Television Station in Guangzhou is one of them.
In order to suit local characteristics, the station not only re-dubbed the song, but also set "The Hard-to-Read Sutra" as the opening and ending songs.
So far, the response has been good, with the ratings exceeding 4 on the first day of broadcast.
Depending on the situation, breaking 5 is a high probability event.
There are also quite a few discussions about Murong Fu.
For example, on Du Sheng’s Weibo, new discussions are added one after another.
"So handsome, this is the Murong Fu in my mind!!"
"Holy crap! This theme song is actually sung by Murong Fu?"
"No wonder Brother Sheng rapped and composed songs on Happy Camp before. Is this one of them?"
"The lyrics and music are very suitable for this drama. It feels like they were written specifically for it. What a talent!"
"Is this the devilish sound? Oh my god! Then aren't the other theme songs even worthless?"
"I love this version of Murong Fu so much, I want to cut it out and use it as a poster!!"
"..."
Taihe Film and Television, General Manager’s Office.
“The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!”
Wang Jinhua put down the newspaper and sighed. If starring in "Big Guy" could be considered luck, then starring in "Tian Long" was a reflection of her real strength.
But she still couldn't understand it.
How come this guy has risen so quickly when he has no connections or background?
Originally, she planned to leave Du Sheng alone for a while and then find a drama to attract him.
Now it seems a little late.
Wang Jinhua sighed inwardly and looked at Fan Bingbing who was becoming more and more charming beside her:
"You seem to have had a scandal with him. Do you know what his greatest advantage is?"
Powerful! Considerate!
When it comes to men, these words come to Fan Bingbing's mind.
But these are obviously not right, and not appropriate. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You have a solid foundation since childhood, and your acting skills are unparalleled."
“It’s about connections and networking.”
Wang Jinhua looked at her deeply, and without further discussing the topic, she suddenly said:
"You should know about the contract advancement. There's nothing I can do about it."
Fan Bingbing remained silent.
Although this was expected, one was still unhappy with Wang Zhonglei's approach.
However, they are under each other's roof, and Wang Jinhua has not shown any clear signs of falling out, so she will not be stupid enough to step in on her own for the time being.
