Chapter 128 The future top 85 flower!
However, there is a saying that a blacksmith must be strong himself.

With Hong Tianzhao's second-rate level, it would be difficult for him to reach the quarterfinals, so how dare he reach the finals?

Du Sheng was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but said playfully:
"So, you are not really aiming for the championship, but are just after the title and popularity, so that you can use it to pave the way for Brother Tian Zhao in the entertainment industry?"

Hong Yubao did not deny it, because it could not be hidden from those who were interested:
"I do have this plan."

Du Sheng didn't know what he was thinking of, and said slowly:
"The domestic fighting circle has been hit hard recently and even ridiculed by the Japanese puppets.
You've put so much thought into this, is it mainly to open up the mainland market in a roundabout way?"

Hong Yubao raised his head in surprise and looked at the young man in front of him for the first time.

Nowadays, anyone with a little insight can see that Hong Kong films are doomed, and the Southeast Asian and Taiwan markets have also been lost, so where is the way out?

It can only be the mainland.

"Legend of Wulin" is currently one of the best fighting competitions in the country.

As long as we make it to the finals, the value of this is extraordinary.

This is also the reason why he took so much trouble, spending money and connections to win over people like Basong to pave the way.

"That's right. I just want Zhao to make it to the finals. This won't pose much of a threat to you."

Hong Yubao was aware of his son's abilities.

I don't expect to win the championship or runner-up, I just want to reach the semi-finals, and third place would be the best.

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"Mr. Hong, excuse me for being blunt, do you think Brother Tian Zhao has the potential to become famous?"

If he didn't know that this fat guy was very patriotic, he wouldn't have said anything nonsense today.

But since I have nothing to do, I might as well treat it as a communication opportunity.

After all, when it comes to trying to gain popularity and status in the boxing world, he is just like a blind man groping in the dark.

Hong Yubao's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Du Sheng:

"Why, do you think he threatens you?"

"No, I'm just speaking from the facts."

Du Sheng was neither afraid nor flattering, and said calmly, as if he didn't hear the coldness in the words:

“With your current status, you should understand that whether an artist can become popular depends on several prerequisites besides ability.

For example, character setting, appearance, and audience appeal."

What he said was actually a polite refusal.

Just a way of saying it.

Hong Xibao naturally understood what he heard and frowned.

The other party was indeed right. His son was not outstanding in any aspect.

In the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot, sometimes ability is not everything.

A small celebrity can rely on his connections to become popular, but to become truly famous, he must have that unique charm and audience appeal.

Hong Yubao did not give up, and said in a deep voice:
"So you're not sure about making it to the semi-finals?"

He could naturally see that Du Sheng was somewhat interested in his conditions, and he didn't want to offend him for no reason.

The reason for the refusal was probably because they felt that their son was "a hopeless case", but they did not say it directly to hurt him.

I have to say that the person in front of me doesn't look like a young man at all. He behaves more like an experienced middle-aged man.

Even if they are not happy with themselves or the requests they make, they will not openly break up with them, but will instead give up when they see difficulties.

Comparing his son with the other party, Hong Xibao looked even more embarrassed.

Considering the possibility of cooperation in the next few films, Du Sheng said casually:

"I think you should talk to 'Kickboxing Maniac' and 'Horland Giant Bear'."

These two are the favorites for the finals of this year's "Legend of Wulin", and many viewers come just for them.

Hong Xibao didn't say anything more, just nodded and stood up.

Du Sheng watched the other party leave and shook his head.

Originally, he was planning to make a few sarcastic remarks about the incense stick of Fan Yaojing.

But seeing the other person putting down his airs and running around for his son, he lost much interest.

But next, it would still be possible to make the father and son feel ashamed of themselves.

As soon as I walked out of the reception hall, a round of competition had just ended outside.

I don’t know if it was because another audience member lost the bet, but from time to time one could hear some Chinese curses along the way.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise.

"Wallet, my wallet!"

A woman in front was pushed and lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Du Sheng looked up and saw a thug with a cruel face running towards him.

"Get out of the way!"

The scoundrel waved a butterfly knife to scare away the people in the passage while fleeing quickly towards the exit.

His left hand was still tightly holding a wallet, obviously he had just been caught pickpocketing.

Du Sheng leaned to the side of the sidewalk, and when the gangster was about to rush over, he stomped his foot as if nothing had happened.

If there were someone here who learned martial arts, he would definitely recognize that this kick was very powerful.

There is a technique called "grinding and stomping feet".

The sinking force it generates penetrates the ground through stomping its feet, and pierces into the ground in a cone shape, crushing even the toes!
"ah!--"

As expected, the bad boy screamed and fell to the ground as if he was electrocuted.

The audience nearby clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, and looked at Du Sheng in surprise as he slowly retracted his legs.

"Wow, it's the ghost sniper!"

"Based on that stomp just now, it's not surprising that he was able to beat Basong."

"This kid is definitely a martial artist. He crushed my toes with one kick. What a ruthless guy!"

"Handsome boy, can you sign an autograph for my daughter--"

There is a saying that the fingers are connected to the heart, and the same is true for toes.
Looking at the miserable look of that bad boy with tears streaming down his face due to the pain, his toes were most likely broken.

Du Sheng smiled at the audience, took out his wallet, let them surround the gangster, and went forward to help the girl up.

"Are you OK?"

The girl looked up, revealing a delicate face.

He has a fox face, fair and delicate skin, is about 1.68 meters tall, and looks a little familiar.

"I'm fine, thank you." The girl smiled awkwardly and stood up.

After hearing the other party's voice and looking at him carefully, Du Sheng's expression became even weirder.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a gentle and graceful temperament, a slim figure, and big, bright eyes that seemed to be able to captivate the soul...

At this young age, she is wearing fashionable clothes, which is particularly eye-catching.

Especially the pair of long and straight beautiful legs outside the skirt, which are simply the best in the new year.

Du Sheng recognized it.

She is actually the future top 85 flower.

Yang Mi took the wallet and thanked him. She also recognized Du Sheng and was overjoyed:
"You fought very well in that duel just now!"

Du Sheng was a little surprised:

"You came here just to watch the boxing match?"

"Of course! I'm half your fan!"

Yang Mi said excitedly:
"Also, I'm from the mainland too. You didn't expect that, did you? Haha..."

At this moment, she has the mentality of a fan who is lucky to have met her idol.

Seeing that his agent friend had not returned yet, he acted even more lively and naive.

Very suitable for this age.

After all, both parties are from the mainland, so there is a natural sense of closeness.

The most important thing is that she just saw Du Sheng knock out the national boxing champion with one punch, which made her feel proud as if "one of her won the fight."

The truth is that there are not many people from the mainland who can make a name for themselves in Hong Kong.

Although she came here to shoot by chance, she also experienced a lot of bitterness.

Du Sheng's punch not only tore down the barriers, but also successfully made him famous.

It even conquered many Hong Kong people.

This is quite an amazing thing!

Du Sheng felt like he was in a dream as he listened to the little girl chattering excitedly beside him.

If someone takes a picture of this scene, her fans will probably cover their faces in shame:
"You got the wrong person. This is not our family's big secret!"

Seeing that it was still early, Du Sheng took into account that the studio and filming would require manpower in the future, so he began to think about it.

We chatted about experiences and interests, but Yang Mi talked the most.

She told Du Sheng that she was shooting the cover of "Rayli" magazine "Fashion Truth" in Hong Kong, as well as some interesting stories in the modeling industry.

Obviously, this person has not made any fortune yet and is just a contracted model for Rayli magazine.

If the historical trajectory is correct, she will probably have to wait until next year to sign with Rong Xinda Company, and the year after to play the role of Guo Xiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", before her star journey will be smoother.

When Du Sheng saw the other party asking, he talked about his boxing career and the matters of filming in Hong Kong.

"Really? You're going back to the mainland to take the Beijing Film Academy exam later?"

Yang Mi said happily:
"My home is near Beijing Film Academy. I'll take you there when the time comes."

Well, this does seem like fan behavior.

From what she said, she accidentally noticed Du Sheng, a mainlander, from the promotion of "Big Guy".

The two chatted somewhat speculatively...

It was mainly Yang Mi who was talking, as if she had endless topics to talk about.

Du Sheng listened with a smile and occasionally interjected.

Unfortunately, her agent Xu Man came back and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Yang Mi was a little annoyed because she had to take the cover photo.

Before she left, she asked Du Sheng for his contact information and couldn't help but turn her head and say:
"Remember to come find me when you come to the Imperial Capital. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, I'll see you then."

Du Sheng smiled, nodded, and waved goodbye.

"Zi Xi, how did you two meet?"

Seeing Yang Mi walking away with a cheerful smile on her face, Xu Man couldn't help but ask.

This girl's behavior is really weird.

He was still fiddling with his phone to set the photo of the two of them as the screensaver.

I just left for a moment, what's going on?
Even fans shouldn't behave like this.

Yang Mi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled happily:
"Haha, you won't believe me, but there was a bad boy just now..."

To sum it up in one sentence, fate is wonderful beyond words.

Xu Man's eyes twitched. Girl, you are infected with the virus.

Fortunately, she knew that although Yang Mi was young, she was a veteran as a child star. She was not a star-chaser, but probably just rarely met mainland artists.

Moreover, Du Sheng is indeed quite popular, and they are of similar age, so maybe they can support each other after becoming friends.

When I think of the popularity of the other party’s TV series and movies, plus the media sensation of “Legend of Wulin” making it to the top 32.

Maybe I'm trying to get ahead of myself.

But who can tell what will happen in the future?

……

On the other side, in Zhang Baizhi’s RV.

Even though the battle was over for so long, this girl was still a little excited and kept browsing the pages of her laptop.

See if the man’s achievements have been reported or published.

Agent Liu Yingfang sat aside, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Ding Dong!

At this moment, a message popped up on the phone.

She took a look and saw that it was a reply from the company.

After reading it, Liu Yingfang frowned.

She thought about it, and said to Zhang Baizhi, who was in a good mood:

"Bai Zhi, I received news from the record company.

They seem to be planning to cooperate with Winking Entertainment to help them restore Xie Tingfeng’s reputation and popularity. Your EP album “Love”…”
