Chapter 155: Avenge the shame?

Du Sheng's appearance brightened the eyes of the audience and media reporters.

They gathered around in a circle.

"Wow, Brother Sheng is out!"

"With his looks and temperament, it would be a waste if he didn't become a superstar!"

"I heard that a wealthy woman has offered 200 million just to spend a night with him..."

The audience who were originally preparing to leave suddenly started to talk.

Du Sheng smiled slightly and waved to the fans in the audience.

"champion!"

Ma Yaowei, who had just walked out from the backstage, shouted loudly in the crowd.

As he shouted, hundreds of audience members around him, holding the five-star red flag and Du Sheng posters, also stood up.

They waved their arms, their movements exaggerated but enthusiastic.

"Du Sheng!"

"champion!"

Led by Ma Yaowei and Wang Yaoyang, the audience stood up and cheered again.

Most of these spectators are independent tourists from the mainland, or domestic boxing fans, who come specially to cheer for Du Sheng.

In response to everyone's enthusiasm, Du Sheng waved again to express his gratitude.

"Du Sheng, can I interview you?"

A group of reporters holding microphones swarmed in and surrounded Du Sheng.

"Of course!"

The organizers quickly maintained order and allowed Du Sheng to walk to the interview desk.

"Mr. Du, in the previous games, you said your goal was to win the championship."

A reporter wearing a TV broadcast uniform handed over the microphone and asked:

"The next opponent is the kickboxing madman who is second only to the Four Heavenly Kings in K1. Do you still have confidence?"

"My goal has never changed, as everyone wishes, that is the championship."

Du Sheng glanced at Sato Yoshihiro who was also being interviewed over there, and spoke simply and directly.

"There is another question. In the previous matches, you all won by knocking out your opponents in one round."

The beautiful reporter continued to ask:
“Will you continue this style in the next games?”

Du Sheng hesitated for a moment.

"Wulin" is an open-ended competition, but the reporter's words are a trap:

Not only the finals, but also the subsequent events.

What is KO?

That is, if the opponent is knocked down and cannot stand up within 10 seconds or cannot continue the game after standing up, it is a KO.

If it were before the top 64, knocking out the opponent in one round would be as easy as drinking water or eating.

But as we get closer to the finals, the opponents will become stronger and stronger.

Just like the Huo Lan violent bear just now, the opponent has the advantage in weight and has to take many aspects into consideration.

Du Sheng hesitated for a moment and replied calmly:
“It would be great to be able to knock out a player in one round, but I won’t pursue it too much because it has no real meaning.”

"Mr. Du, it took you almost a round to defeat the Horan Violent Bear just now. It was not an easy win.

Does this mean that he lacks the confidence to knock out his opponent and is forced to change his tactics? "

a tabloid reporter asked excitedly.

Wang Yaoyang next to him really wanted to refute him, "Are you fucking blind?"

Before the fight, most people were optimistic about Huo Lan Bao Xiong, but now he was knocked out by Du Sheng in one round. Do you call this a difficult win?

However, he had long experienced the journalists' ability to quote out of context to attract attention, so he simply waited and watched the show.

He believed that Du Sheng, who had experienced many big battles, would not be able to fall into the trap.

"Mr. Du Sheng, are you really sure you can knock out the kickboxing madman in the finals?"

Other reporters also focused their attention on Du Sheng, waiting for his answer.

Under the siege of many eyes and microphones, and the flashes of video cameras and cameras kept flashing,
Du Sheng glanced around and smiled:
"Yes, I am confident that I can win the match by knockout, unless my opponent refuses to step up."

As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately became boiling with uproar.

"Mr. Du, if you win the championship, will you go abroad to compete?"

"Contestant No. 888, I heard that you are participating in the competition on behalf of the mainland. If you defeat the Japanese contestant this time, will it be considered as a way to avenge the humiliation?"

"Mr. Du, K1 has noticed you. If they invite you to participate in the world competition, will you back down like the previous ones did?"

"I heard that top promoter Don King met with you not long ago. Are you…"

The reporters seemed to smell a bloody shark and rushed to ask questions.

Wang Yaoyang was pushed aside and stood there in a somewhat dishevelled state.

Looking at the turbulent scene in front of them, even the reporters who were interviewing Sato Yoshihiro rushed over. The organizer's supervisor felt his scalp tingling and could only call for more security guards to maintain order.

Even stars like Zhang Baizhi and Sun Yaowei who were watching this scene from behind were secretly shocked:
'When I promoted my own album, it wasn't this big of a deal.'

Du Sheng waved his hand slightly, signaling the reporters to be quiet:

“Whether or not I will go abroad to play games depends on the situation.

As you know, the plague is raging in the Lighthouse Country right now, so it’s too early to say anything about this.”

Everyone was stunned and realized this was the situation.

Fortunately, the pressure in the East had subsided before the New Year, otherwise it would have been difficult to even travel, not to mention hosting a boxing match.

But in the Beacon Country, it is said that even the Oscar awards ceremony will have to be postponed.

Du Sheng was worried that the headlines were not explosive enough, so he added:
“As for whether defeating the Japanese players can be considered as clearing away the shame?

I have no say on this. You'd better interview your opponent and ask him how he feels. " The reporters' eyes lit up and they wrote it down excitedly.

Although these words are subtle, they are no less than being aggressive.

Du Sheng ignored all this and continued:
“As for the K1 World Championships, I haven’t received any invitation, and even if I do, it depends on my schedule.

After all, my main job is an actor, so I can’t lose sight of the main thing, right?”

There are three major fighting systems in the world today: boxing, mixed martial arts and kickboxing.

Among them, the four most famous boxing organizations are WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF.

Mixed martial arts is MMA, which has relatively open rules and advocates unlimited fighting. UFC is the leader among them.

The rules of kickboxing are between the first two, and its representative example is Japan's K1 stand-up fighting.

In terms of influence today, if we put aside national prejudices, K1 is actually no less powerful than UFC and has great value.

The champion of the K1 World Championship will receive a prize of US$40.

"As for top promoter Don King, he does..."

Du Sheng's subsequent answers to some questions were somewhat evasive.

For example, in the case of Tang Jin, he deliberately only told half of the story and concealed the other half, to whet the appetite of outsiders and also to pave the way for the future.

Despite this, the journalists and media outlets also gained a lot and were eager to go back and finish their manuscripts overnight.

This interview is so exciting that there is no need to worry about sales.

After the interview, Wang Yaoyang was somewhat worried:
"Brother Sheng, will it be too difficult to continue to win the championship by KO?"

Ma Yaowei suppressed his surprise and nodded:
"Those reporters are making all kinds of sarcastic comments and digging holes, just to dig out big news. I think we should just ignore them."

"This is the age of eyeballs. Your ideas are too conservative."

Seeing that Zhang Baizhi also somewhat agreed, Du Sheng smiled and shook his head:

"Tyson once said that the reason why today's boxers lack popularity is not only because of their lack of hard power, but more importantly, they stick to the old ways, don't know how to create topics, and don't know how to market themselves.

For example, John Ruiz, a world boxing champion, is not as famous as a small Hollywood actor.

How can such boxers attract audiences to spend money to watch their matches?"

Ma Yaowei was stunned and fell into deep thought.

Du Sheng looked at Zhang Baizhi calmly and continued:

"The same applies to us. Having no topics to talk about is actually a failure."

In the previous era of traffic, everyone understood these things, and they were even hyped up, but now the Internet is just getting started.

As a popular actress, Zhang Baizhi knows all this very well and understands what men mean. She smiled sweetly:
"Let's go, eat first, I'll discuss something with you later."

Sun Yaowei and others looked at them strangely, then tactfully said goodbye and left.

Wang Yaoyang had been in the mainland and didn't know the situation. When he saw Ma Yaowei giving him a look, he followed him and left.

Because he remembered that Du Sheng mentioned when he left that he won 150 million in this tournament and asked him to hand it over to Ma Yaowei.

In the past, he would have been secretly shocked when hearing such a large sum of money as 150 million.

But he has become numb to the fact that the studio had previously invested 700 million yuan in "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber".

What's more, Don King just gave a signing fee of 300 million US dollars, which is more than a critical hit.

In the future, even if I hear that Du Sheng made hundreds of millions of RMB in one night from boxing matches abroad, I wouldn’t be surprised.

That night, Du Sheng was dragged by Zhang Baizhi to have a Western meal.

"Ah Sheng, didn't you say you were going to teach me the soft and flexible stance exercise? We have to hurry up."

On the way back, Zhang Baizhi suddenly leaned close to Du Sheng's ear and said with a smile.

Although she changed out of the off-shoulder dress, she put on a pink cheongsam.

The elegant cheongsam wraps around her slender figure, and her long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings are faintly visible at the slit. The hem of her skirt sways with her light steps, making her look pure and elegant.

Even though she was wearing a mask and sunglasses and her face couldn't be seen clearly, passers-by still looked at her sideways.

"That's right. You haven't practiced for such a long time. What if you become rusty? You must double the practice!"

Du Sheng started the car without saying a word.

Although this girl is new to martial arts, she has obviously developed a strong interest in martial arts.

This time he took the initiative to study, so of course he couldn't remain indifferent.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Baizhi saw the man's eyes on her cheongsam and felt a little shy:
"Will it not affect me if I practice in this?"

"Of course not! In order not to delay your filming tomorrow, let's start now.

Let's go inside. I have thought of a new martial arts technique."

Du Sheng pulled her, looking eager to try.

Zhang Baizhi became more interested:
"What moves and techniques?"

"This is one of the 108 martial arts. It uses the power of water. Come here first..."

Du Sheng is a master at practicing Kung Fu in an open space, but this is his first time to practice it in a relaxed environment.

The Langgu Jin is indeed a health-preserving skill passed down from our ancestors. I don’t feel tired even after practicing it for such a long time.

Zhang Baizhi started to practice yoga while relaxing, and the more she practiced, the more positive and confident she became.

Soon, water splashed all over the ground.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Baizhi, who was exhausted from choking on the water, was carried back to the sofa.

Although this girl studied hard and practiced diligently, it is true that learning martial arts cannot be accomplished in one go.

"It's all your fault. You taught me such a difficult move right from the start. My newly bought cheongsam is ruined!"

Zhang Baizhi, who was sweating all over, let Du Sheng wipe the water off her and said angrily.

"You're studying very hard, and you seem to be enjoying it."

Du Sheng knew that this girl was saying one thing and thinking another, so he smiled and changed the subject:
"By the way, didn't you say you had something to discuss?"
