Chapter 134 Avenge the shame!

Surprisingly, Hong Xibao did not have an attack.

Instead, he left without saying a word.

What outsiders don’t know is that he was not angry because his son was defeated by Du Sheng in one round.

The real reason is that it is impossible to support a wall with mud.

This humiliating setback was not entirely a bad thing for Hong Tianzhao. At least it made him realize the reality and the gap.

But the reporters don’t care about these at all. What they are thinking about now is how to stir up topics and attract attention.

They even thought of a title.

【A shocking kick! A mainland artist defeated the successor to the Kung Fu superstar! 】

[A new Kung Fu star is rising! Will he surpass Jet Li? Let’s wait and see! ]

[The martial arts substitute strikes back! Du Sheng stuns the audience and may become the biggest dark horse of "Legend of Wulin"! ]

[There are very few well-known Eastern boxers in the global fighting circle. Is this going to be a reversal? ]

I can only say that they thought too much.

To be frank, the reason why Du Sheng behaved like this today was actually tacky.

It's just to gain popularity and reputation.

This also applies to the next two games.

Every time he arrived at the scene on time, stepped onto the ring slowly, knocked down his opponent with three punches and two kicks, and then left in style.

From being initially questioned as a slacker who managed to get into the top 64 by inflating his stats, to now having made it into the top four with a strong momentum.

As for the young master of the Li family who really got in by brushing his stats, he fell before the top 32 just like last year.

Due to the shameless and eye-catching hype of the media, Du Sheng's popularity in Hong Kong was once no less than that of second-tier stars.

In particular, some third-rate tabloids would hype up the scandal between him and Zhang Baizhi from time to time in order to increase sales.

As a result, even those who are not usually interested in fighting have heard that a great man has been born in this "Legend of Wulin".

In addition, some media reported that Du Sheng's identity was mysterious and that he was representing certain boxing organizations in the mainland to avenge their previous humiliation.

With the in-depth coverage by the media, works related to Du Sheng gradually surfaced.

A kung fu actor who is a killer in the boxing world has not only attracted the attention of fighting fans at home and abroad, but also attracted a group of viewers who are not interested in fighting. Even the advertising revenue of the TV station has increased.

When a newspaper exposed the handsome photo of Du Sheng wearing a police uniform on the set of "Infernal Affairs", it caused a sensation.

That day, Du Sheng's name directly jumped to the top of the list of people that Hong Kong rich women most wanted to date, leaving the original champion Chen Wanxi and runner-up Xie Tingfeng far behind.

In the eyes of rich women, bravery is more valuable than handsomeness.

What's more, Du Sheng has both, which makes people even more itchy!
In view of the above, popularity and reputation have once again soared.

Let’s not talk about popularity for now. After all, there is a lot of exaggeration and boasting, and it has not been put into practice yet.

The reputation value is real.

After improving his singing skills, his score dropped to 1129, but recovered to 18829 in a few days.

Judging from the release of two dramas in mainland China and the popularity of the Hong Kong fighting competition, it should be no problem for the sales to triple or quadruple in the next month.

Because the semi-finals are scheduled for more than half a month later, there will definitely be a large wave of income.

The semi-final opponents have been announced:

Mainland dark horse - Du Sheng.

'The Great Bear of Horan' - Gabriel.

Japan's "kickboxing maniac" - Sato Yoshihiro.
Last year’s Nanyang ONE Mixed Martial Arts Light Heavyweight Champion, Yasanna.

What made the audience angry and hateful was that all the Hong Kong contestants were wiped out.

Even Cao Delong, who was the most popular candidate, only made it to the quarterfinals.

The one who eliminated Cao Delong was Japan's "kickboxing maniac".

He was knocked down twice in one round, with a bleeding nose and unable to get up.

How hateful!

Naturally, everyone's eyes turned to Du Sheng.

I hope he can avenge this shame!

At this time, Hong Kong people may feel superior, but most of them still recognize the domestic situation.

Besides, there is only this one seedling left, and if I don't take care of it, it will have nowhere to go.

Two expectations were inexplicably placed on Du Sheng:
One is to represent the mainland boxing organizations to wash away the shameful reputation of Eastern fighting.

First, the Hong Kong organizers and citizens responded with hope, defeating their opponents and singing all the way.

After all, "Legend of Wulin" was founded by Chinese people, but so far it has not won the championship, let alone made it to the finals.

It's so embarrassing.

In view of this, some media also gave Du Sheng the title of reviving the Chinese boxing world:

[A rising star in Chinese fighting! Du Sheng shoulders high expectations, and everyone is looking forward to a glorious fight! ]

When it comes to hype, Du Sheng has to admire these Hong Kong media.

Do whatever it takes to attract attention.

Anyway, they have something to write about whether this mainland dark horse wins or loses.

Du Sheng didn't care about this at all.

The increase in popularity and reputation is there, so as long as it is not mindless smear, they can report it as they please.

Universal Records, outside the recording studio.

"When will you return to the mainland?"

Zhang Baizhi and Du Sheng walked out of the door side by side, and the atmosphere was somewhat quiet.

"I'll go back tonight."

Du Sheng saw that the woman was a little reluctant, and smiled and said:

"I have to go back early to prepare for the exam and the new play. I can't delay any longer."

The album "True Love" has been almost recorded, and he is not needed for the follow-up.

It's an art exam instead.

Although it has been confirmed that it is the Beijing Film Academy, which is jokingly known for its standardized and streamlined teaching, some procedures and preparations are still required. As for the new drama, it is basically clear, and he just needs to go back to meet and negotiate.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Zhang Baizhi couldn't help but put her arm around the man and joked:
"You've been called the Dark Horse by the citizens here, so you'd better come early for the semi-finals!"

Du Sheng was speechless, as he naturally knew what the dark horse light was.

Because all the citizens who bet on him to win the upset some time ago all won a lot of money.

Don't underestimate this energy.

Half of the people in Hong Kong have bought lottery tickets or bets. Who doesn’t like to win big?

Especially the conversations among citizens after dinner made Du Sheng's name spread throughout the gambling circle.

After all, he has never been defeated so far. The dark horse's light makes people confident and more popular with the public.

So the organizers and sponsors struck while the iron was hot and got him a famous Hong Kong clothing advertisement endorsement.

But the timing is not right, I have to come back later to shoot again.

Du Sheng reached out and rubbed Zhang Baizhi's hair, and said with a smile:
“You also have to devote yourself to album release and promotion, and you don’t have much time.

I'll come here as soon as I finish dealing with things over there."

Zhang Baizhi bit her lower lip and asked:
"Are you planning to invest in a drama? Do you have enough money? Do you want me to transfer some more to you?"

Du Sheng smiled and waved his hand:

"No need. Didn't you sponsor me last time? The initial funding is almost there."

He was talking about that during the round of 32, Zhang Baizhi transferred 50 yuan to him, saying that it was earned from previous betting.

With this money, Du Sheng accumulated 120 million in the next three competitions.

If the odds hadn't been lowered all the way, this number would have increased a lot.

As he spoke, he patted Zhang Baizhi on the shoulder:

"I'm leaving now. I have to say goodbye to Brother Hua, Awei and the others. See you next time."

Zhang Baizhi was reluctant to let go and hugged the man tightly:

"Have a nice trip. I may have to go back to the mainland to shoot my next movie. I've also told my godmother that you can..."

Du Sheng smiled, patted her shoulders, and turned away.

Zhang Baizhi watched his back gradually going away, feeling a little lost and melancholy for no reason.

She herself might not have realized that the longer she spent with Du Sheng, the deeper their love for him became.

Even a bit nymphomaniacal.

I don’t know if it’s because of how deep their love is, or the influence of their heartfelt communication.

This was particularly incredible to the agent Liu Yingfang who was on the lookout.

But she couldn't persuade him.

There's no way to persuade people to do this.

And if she were asked to choose, rather than serving a willful and arrogant girl, she would rather serve someone with a down-to-earth personality like the one in front of her.

At least the other party is now willing to listen to some of the advice given and no longer acts on his own.

All I can say is that emotions are so mysterious that they are enough to change a person's trajectory.

That night, after saying goodbye to everyone, Du Sheng started his return journey.

……

The night deepens, and the moss grows.

After filming today's campus scene, Liu Yifei returned to the hotel. Looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, she felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

She had just joined the crew of "Little Winner in Love" last week. This news was originally joyful for her, but it was also followed by deep regret.

She took out her cell phone and opened the chat history with Du Sheng.

The laughter and joy we had on the set of "Tian Long" now seem to be something far away and difficult to reach.

She has few friends here, and is filled with shyness and loneliness.

After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't help but send a message:
"Cousin, I've joined the team. I probably won't be able to go back on the day of your exam (>﹏

You can feel the grievance and loss between the lines.

But her mother had arranged everything, and there was no way she wouldn't come.

Du Sheng just sat down in the terminal hall and replied with some surprise:

"Didn't they say that filming would start in March? How come it's moved forward?"

"Brother Zhiying's schedule is very tight, so the director asked us to move up."

Seeing her cousin reply so quickly, Liu Yifei was delighted and her depression slightly dissipated.

But when this is mentioned, the resentment becomes even stronger.

It's bad enough that I'm paired with Ling Zhiying, who has an age gap with me, but now I have to coordinate with her schedule. How can I not be depressing?

The most important thing is that she wanted to become Du Sheng's senior, and had already made up her mind to welcome this "junior" to Beijing Film Academy.

Especially when I thought about having a chance to play a trick on my cousin, or even let Du Sheng call me senior...

Now, everything has come to nothing.

Liu Yifei's little face was full of resentment and helplessness:

“Being an artist is really hard sometimes, and many things are beyond your control.

Especially when it comes to taking on acting jobs, it’s all arranged by my mother. When I become an adult, I must do it myself (> c
When Du Sheng thought of the roles that this girl had taken in her previous life, all of them were sewers, and he immediately broke out in a sweat. He said:
"Auntie is doing this for your own good, no one else can hate her.

Besides, if you guys move to Hong Kong to scout for scenes in half a month, maybe we can run into each other again..."

He talked about the schedule for the top four of "Legend of Wulin".

Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes lit up, but then dimmed again:

"But I don't know if I have time. Brother Zhiying is in such a hurry, I don't know if I can take time off."

"It's okay. I can just go visit the set."

Du Sheng comforted:
"And we may have a chance to work together on a movie in the second half of the year, so it won't be easy to meet each other."
