Chapter 144 Live Finals!

In less than two days, the news had spread.

In this case, Du Sheng can't keep a low profile even if he wants to.

After noon that day, his cell phone started vibrating non-stop.

Messages of blessing popped up on the screen, all from familiar friends and artists.

"Cousin, congratulations! You're the top scorer in the Beijing Film Academy. That's awesome!"

This was sent by Liu Yifei, and the text was full of joy and pride.

Although she was far away in Bay City, she was always thinking about this "junior fellow".

So not long after this year's exam, she started asking around.

When I learned that Du Sheng was the top scorer in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy this year, I felt more surprised and excited than winning a million-dollar lottery ticket.

Needless to say, she will definitely be the senior sister!
Du Sheng smiled and replied:

"Girl, be low-key. You are embarrassing your cousin."

Liu Yifei was excited, but she didn't care about that and typed quickly:

"Next time I'll take you to the Pyramids, the Shaw Studios, concerts, and lots of delicious campus food..."

Du Sheng could feel the girl's joy, so he didn't mind wasting time and chatted with her with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Bingbing's message also popped up, jokingly saying:

"Of course, you are more promising than me. Does this count as a boast coming true?"

She had wanted to get into one of the three major colleges, but she only got into the third-rate Xie Jin Film and Television Academy.

This has always been a pity.

Du Sheng once said that he would help her realize her dream.

Not only did he pass the test this time, he also topped the list.

She felt somewhat emotional.

Zhang Baizhi's message followed closely:
"Congratulations! You're on the homepage of the Beijing Film Academy Network!

If Director Wang Jing hadn’t mentioned it to the actors, I wouldn’t have known about it.”

Du Sheng finally understood where today's intensive congratulations came from. It turned out that the enemy was in the Propaganda Department.

He replied to each one, and saw Liu Tao's message mixed in, with a hint of resentment:
"You are indeed a talented actor. When will you act with me? I feel like my performance has declined!"

Du Sheng smiled playfully:
"Are you acting together? If you have the chance, I guarantee you will have so much fun that you won't be able to stop!"

Finally, Ye Jingzhi's message arrived as expected:

"The Beijing Film Academy knows that you are filming a movie. Although there is no requirement for you to attend classes, they suggest that you go back when school starts.

According to my guess, they probably want you to cooperate with the publicity..."

Du Sheng smiled and understood what the school leaders meant.

But since he has chosen Beijing Film Academy, he will certainly not back down from such a promotional opportunity.

As for the problem of missing course learning, this is unavoidable.

That night, many people in the crew also knew that Du Sheng had topped the high school list, and they all came to congratulate him.

Surrounded by a group of beauties, it is so lively.

Liu Hengyu, who plays Song Qingshu, suggested:

"Ah Sheng, it would be unreasonable not to celebrate. Why don't we go out and celebrate later?"

Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Du Sheng knew that he would have to have this midnight snack, so he smiled and said:

"Then we'll finish the reading tonight and gather at Majiazhuang at 10:!"

“Wow!~”

"Brother Sheng is awesome! (broken voice)"

Since there was training camp the next day, Du Sheng simply took everyone to a nearby farm for a meal.

Despite this, the place was packed with dozens of people and was extremely lively.

Except for the elderly or those who are proud of their status, almost everyone came to pay a visit.

After all, everyone knows that to become the top student in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, it is not an exaggeration to use thousands of troops to cross a single-plank bridge.

What's more, Du Sheng is already an investor and action director at such a young age, and everyone knows that his future is limitless.

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate with various thoughts and laughed continuously.

"Ah Sheng, you stole the show this time. Be careful when you walk next time. Don't let the wind blow you away!"

Princess Guo raised her glass and joked with a smile.

Everyone laughed and said:

“Do you feel as excited as if you won the lottery now?!”

"Speaking of which, Ah Sheng's success as the top scholar came so suddenly that I didn't even have time to prepare my knees! Come quickly and let us pay our respects to him!"

Jia Jingwen looked at Du Sheng who was surrounded by everyone, with a bit of admiration in her eyes.

She actually also studied at Beijing Film Academy, but dropped out halfway through. It would be a lie to say she doesn't regret it now.

Although Gao Yuanyuan, Chen Xiuli and others didn't say much, they watched with emotion.

Although being admitted to the Beijing Film Academy does not mean much, the connections and network represent endless possibilities.

Huang Deli sat quietly aside, expressing his relief and joy with a smile.

Du Sheng did not get carried away and responded modestly one by one.

Nortel is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

During the dinner, Jia Jingwen, Guo Feili and others, who were more extroverted and relaxed, played Talking Dice and drank a lot of beer.

But I have to say that after this dinner, the relationship between the crew members became much closer.

This will be more conducive to the subsequent shooting.

During this period, Zheng Zetao, who was far away in Hong Kong, actually called.

In addition to congratulating Du Sheng on becoming the top scorer in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, he also wanted to ask him for help with something.

"I heard that you founded your own studio to invest in TV series, and it's doing very well!"

Zheng Zetao had also heard about what Du Sheng had been doing recently. A small mainland actor went to Hong Kong and suddenly established relationships with big names in the entertainment industry like Liu Dehua, Xiang Tai, and Hong Xibao.

Now, not long after returning to the mainland, he has invested in a drama with a budget of over 2000 million yuan. This is not an ordinary thing.

This also made Zheng Zetao's attitude towards Du Sheng even better.

Anyone who can rise so quickly and have such connections is bound to achieve great success in the future.

"What do you find me for?"

Du Sheng had already guessed in his mind that Zheng Zetao had specially asked him to meet him this time, and there must be something important to discuss.

However, the two parties' schedules did not match, so they could only talk on the phone.

Zheng Zetao went straight to the point:
"I would like to ask you to help me contact and see if there is any possibility for domestic sports channels to broadcast this year's "Legend of Wulin" finals."

He had asked people to contact Qiongfu and Guangfu before, but it failed to materialize.

Du Sheng smiled slightly:
"Your idea is novel, but do you think domestic TV stations will be so easy to cooperate with?

The live broadcast plan is set early every year, and it is not so easy to add a program at the last minute.”

However, Zheng Zetao was not discouraged and continued:

"I know it's very difficult, but wasn't last year's CCIV5 live broadcast of "Boxing Championship" an exception? This was a temporary arrangement."

Du Sheng shook his head helplessly:
“You compare Wulin with those world-class competitions?

I'm not trying to discourage you, but the current influence of "Wulin" is not enough to make the TV station change its plan."

Zheng Zetao still did not give up and said sincerely:
"Everything depends on human efforts, so please help me find out.

I know your agent has a lot of connections in this industry, and if she can come forward, things might be able to turn around.

No matter what the result is, your work will not be in vain."

In fact, he was planning to take advantage of Ye Jingzhi's connections behind the scenes.

Du Sheng heard this and began to weigh the issues in his mind.

If it were in the past, he might have directly rejected this seemingly impossible request.

But now, this matter is closely related to me.

Maybe, in the future we can even create a boxing event that truly belongs to the country.

After some thought, Du Sheng said:

“I can help you make the contact, but it’s hard to say whether it will be successful.

After all, you know she doesn’t usually use her family connections.”

"Thank you very much."

Zheng Zetao hurriedly thanked him.

He already felt a little more confident.

As long as Du Sheng is willing to help, then this matter is at least half successful.

He was not a man who was unsure, otherwise he would not have spoken so easily.

Next, just wait and see the results.

On the sixth day of the training camp, all members gathered in the hotel’s large conference room.

Director Lai Shui-ching talked enthusiastically on the stage, making final preparations for the start of filming.

Du Sheng, Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan sat in the same row, next to each other.

As a woman, Guo Feili, who was sitting behind her, keenly noticed the changes in Jia Jingwen.

The other party was obviously much friendlier to Du Sheng, and their relationship was obviously much better than that of ordinary friends.

However, she noticed that Du Sheng was concentrating on listening to Director Lai's assignments and did not show any unusual expression.

Guo Feili couldn't help but have some guesses in her mind.

After the meeting, she pulled Du Sheng aside, pointed at Jia Jingwen and smiled:
"It's been rumored that you guys are acting together tonight, could that be the case?"

Du Sheng only now understood that women really don't care about age when it comes to gossiping.

"Do you think it's possible?"

His innocent expression made Guo Feili laugh, with a hint of teasing smile:

"How is that impossible? I think the way she looks at you is a little different. It seems that she is..."

Du Sheng looked calm and said with a playful smile:
"We often act together, especially in the wedding scene on Ice and Fire Island. The way you look at me is also different. Does this mean anything?"

After this period of reading together and acting together, the two sides obviously became more familiar with each other.

Talk more casually.

Guo Feili secretly spat and pretended to be angry:

"I am a few years older than you, you are such a shameless boy."

"Just a few years older, not decades older."

“…That makes sense!”

Guo Feili pursed her lips and smiled. Fortunately, she was not a little girl, otherwise she would have no choice but to retreat in the face of this shameless person.

Moreover, she discovered that Du Sheng's mentality was becoming more and more like Zhang Wuji, the 'scumbag' who was greedy while having his cake and eating it too!
In the drama, if her role as Yin Susu is counted, Zhang Wuji can be said to be surrounded by five beauties.

'Isn't this an early entry into the show?'

After the meeting, everyone followed martial arts directors such as Yuan Bin and Huang Deli to practice their moves in the open space in the backyard.

Dozens of people gathered for the drill, which was quite spectacular.

There were several groups of media reporters outside the hotel who wanted to dig up the news, but they were all cleverly blocked by the assistants.

But a Jin Yong adaptation produced with such a huge investment is bound to be a hit.

Inviting actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong became a hot topic among martial arts fans.

Not to mention that the leading actor Du Sheng became the top scorer of Beijing Film Academy, and the popularity of "Wulin" has not subsided.

However, during this period, the crew was in a semi-closed training camp, and it was not easy for outsiders to get in.

But this did not stop some reporters and celebrities from coming under the guise of visiting the set, making the event extremely lively and exciting.
