Chapter 159: Love in Trouble
"My uncle said that Yangshi Channel 5 has always had the habit of broadcasting grand fighting events at home and abroad."
Bi Shian put down the phone and said bluntly:
"Since Wulin is hosted by Chinese people and domestic boxers compete for the championship, as long as the relevant information is in place, the finals can be broadcast live."
Zheng Zetao and Du Sheng looked delighted and said with a smile:
"Thank you. It's a pleasure working with you."
Although they knew there were some opportunities, they were not guaranteed until the last minute.
"Haha, you're welcome. It's all just to promote the event."
The reason why Bi Shi'an helped with the application and even produced the program "Heroes List" was not just for commercial cooperation purposes.
He has loved watching Bruce Lee's movies since he was a child, and is fond of various types of Kung Fu. He has learned Taekwondo, Karate, Jeet Kune Do, etc.
He has always longed to bring Eastern martial arts to a broader stage so that more people can appreciate the charm of martial arts.
However, over the years, few Eastern boxers have appeared on the international stage.
This has always been a great regret in his heart.
In view of this, Bi Shi'an came up with the idea of organizing domestic fighting competitions.
It aims to provide a stage for domestic fighting elites to showcase themselves and prove their strength.
However, the implementation of this idea was extremely difficult, and it took him more than a year to gain the support of his uncle and the team behind him.
This year, the TV station finally approved the application for joint production, and the project officially entered the preparation stage.
However, while he was happy, Bi Shi'an was also deeply worried.
That is a question of audience acceptance.
Domestic audiences are no strangers to boxing. Yangshi Channel 5 has broadcast the ultimate boxing championship many times, making boxing superstars such as Tyson, Holyfield, and Lewis deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But apart from those that are broadcast, other boxing events are not well known in China.
In the planning of "Hero List", Bi Shi'an intends to invite domestic and foreign fighters to participate, which will be a major highlight of the show.
But if we do this, we will face the risk of the river crab beast.
After all, this kind of program involves confrontation, fighting and other dimensions, and it can be labeled as corrupting children at any time.
The Ultimate Boxing Championship is a world-class event, so it can be postponed.
However, if similar events are held domestically, there may be many risks.
In order to ensure that there would be no problems, Bi Shi'an informed the TV station before taking the responsibility and first tested the waters with a fighting event involving Chinese people.
If the response is good, we will continue to advance the "Hero List".
Broadcasting the "Legend of Wulin" events seems quite appropriate at the moment.
Therefore, regardless of whether Zheng Zetao found him or not, he had already planned to contact him for negotiation.
The appearance of Zheng Zetao and Du Sheng undoubtedly provided strong support for his plan.
If Du Sheng really wins the championship, the follow-up implementation of the "Hero List" will be easier.
As the three parties reached a consensus, the atmosphere on the scene became relaxed.
"With a population of over one billion, it should be easy to train a few boxing champions."
Zheng Zetao talked about the extra topic, and he was a little confused:
“But whether it’s UFC, WBA, WBC, Nanyang ONE, Neon K1, etc., we rarely see our people.”
“There are so many reasons.”
Du Sheng smiled faintly:
"In addition to talent, it is inseparable from hard work and professional training.
Also, our boxing is relatively late in development, and our standard of living is not as good as that of foreign countries.”
Bi Shian nodded and said:
“Boxing developed late, which limited us a lot, and we didn’t cultivate an interest in this area from an early age.
And if you have been to my hometown in the countryside, you will know that poor families can hardly even guarantee their lives. Even if they pursue their dreams, they go to college first and rarely have plans for boxing.
However, as the country develops and becomes more prosperous, all aspects will catch up sooner or later, which is also my original intention for creating the "Hero List". "
Zheng Zetao sighed inwardly and nodded in agreement:
“Indeed, the pressure of life makes people busy and have little time to plan for the future.
Education is the key to changing one’s destiny, and it is right for people to focus on it.”
When he mentioned this, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked:
"Not long ago, there was a report that Gu Zai donated more than a dozen schools in the mainland. Are there still many children who cannot go to school?"
"It's a little better in the wealthier areas in the south, but it does happen in the southwest."
Du Sheng knew this very well. After all, he had some ideas in mind and even asked Wang Yaoyang to investigate:
"Especially in Yunnan and Guizhou, some families can't even afford to eat, let alone spend money to send their children to school."
Zheng Zetao looked at him in surprise:
"You suggested that I settle down in the mainland and build good relations with the locals as soon as possible. Donating to schools is the best way to communicate. Isn't this the reason?"
Du Sheng nodded slightly and said:
“In fact, doing charity is also a way of promotion, and it can also gain good reputation.
If "Wulin" can be broadcasted by Yangshi Channel 5 and I win the championship, I plan to donate all the proceeds to charity.
And if the clothing sub-brand is successfully established, a donation will be made for every piece sold. A little bit will add up and it will be considered as a small contribution..."
After hearing this, Bi Shi'an was a little moved.
Not to mention anything else, this ideological awareness alone is much higher than that of most people.
What's more, the champion earns a lot of money, and most people would not be so generous.
He thought about it and said seriously:
"I will tell my uncle about it in detail when I get back, and I will implement it for you as soon as possible."
Zheng Zetao also had to admire Du Sheng's determination and said:
“How much does it cost to build a school?”
The Zheng family's business began to shift to the inland areas, and some expressions were indispensable.
Especially in the jewelry business, it is important to accumulate a good reputation.
Run Run Shaw is also from Hong Kong, so why is his business so unimpeded in the mainland?
But other wealthy people can’t do it?
In fact, the truth is very simple.
Make contributions to the country.
However, many wealthy people in Hong Kong still think highly of themselves and have refused to put down their airs and integrate into the group.
Bi Shian smiled and said:
“In fact, the cost of building a school is not as high as you think.
The country has relevant Hope Project policies. As long as the donations reach a certain amount, such as 30 to build a Hope Primary School, or 15 to renovate dilapidated school buildings, this process can be promoted.
As for the remaining insufficient expenses, they will be supplemented by major foundations. After the school is built, it can also be named after the donors, and they can also enjoy corresponding benefits and honors. "
"Oh I got it."
After hearing this, Zheng Zetao suddenly remembered Du Sheng's suggestion:
"How about we work together to create a clothing sub-brand then, just as you said before?"
Du Sheng smiled and said:
"Yes, if you have a will you are not afraid of difficulties."
Creating a clothing sub-brand requires a professional team. It is difficult to accomplish it alone, and he does not have that much energy.
Goldlion, owned by the Zheng family, is a popular brand in the country and is very suitable for development and promotion.
As for the disputes that may arise after the sub-brand grows stronger, these can all be implemented in documented laws.
If there really was a problem, it would be at a later stage, as he had already established himself.
……
After dealing with personal matters, Du Sheng returned to the crew that afternoon.
In the following week, scenes were filmed one after another, including the Butterfly Valley scene where Zhang Wuji changed his name to Zeng Aniu, encountered the Golden Flower Granny and was instructed by Yang Buhui to pretend to seek medical treatment, and then fell off a cliff and learned the "Nine Yang Magic Skill".
"Ah Sheng, I have arranged a good show for you today."
On this day, Lai Shuiqing suddenly gave Du Sheng a mysterious smile.
"Director Lai, what's the good show?"
Before Du Sheng could speak, Jia Jingwen, who came to check the script whenever she had free time in the past few days, asked curiously.
"Today we will start by filming the dungeon scene at Green Willow Villa. You must be prepared."
Director Lai was in a good mood and glanced at her with a smile.
Jia Jingwen was stunned, somewhat puzzled:
"Director Lai, we've only been shooting the scene where Zhang Wuji and I meet for two days, why did we suddenly jump to this scene..."
"There was a problem with the layout of the Bright Summit battle. It just so happens that the scenery of the cellar has already been arranged, so we can only make slight changes."
After Lai Shuiqing said this puzzling sentence, he hurriedly left the dressing room.
Jia Jingwen: “…”
She knew what this scene in the dungeon of Green Willow Manor meant to her.
This is a rather ambiguous scene.
She would be bullied by Zhang Wuji, and his socks would be taken off and her feet would be tickled, but for some reason she actually felt a sense of anticipation.
Speaking of which, this is the beginning of the love between Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min, and their roles will become more and more frequent later on.
Ever since she saw Guo Feili sneaking into Du Sheng's room at night last time, Jia Jingwen has been suppressing her thoughts.
Seeing that little girl Yang Mi was hanging around Du Sheng every day, and other female characters were also hanging around Du Sheng from time to time...
She couldn't hold it in any longer.
Of course, the main reason was that her godfather asked her to go back.
As for what he is going back to do, you don’t have to guess.
This made her feel an urgency and she had to prepare a retreat in the mainland as soon as possible.
An abandoned air-raid shelter on the outskirts of Peking.
At the shooting scene of Group A, the camera was rustling and a dark and damp feeling was created around.
This scene shows Zhao Min receiving members of the Cult of Light at Green Willow Villa, but secretly drugging them and making them unconscious. In order to save them, Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Cult, holds Zhao Min hostage and they both fall into a dungeon trap.
Lai Shuiqing was sitting behind the monitor. Seeing the two men getting ready, he signaled to start filming.
The stagehand ran to the camera with a board and hit the board:
"Scene 22, shot 13, begin."
Jia Jingwen, wearing a light green silk skirt, sat upright on the cold floor, watching Du Sheng swimming to the top of the trap like a gecko and flipping the iron plate. She grinned, with a sly look in her eyes:
"There are eight steel bars blocking the way from above. You are underneath them. Even if you have great strength, how can you push them open?"
Du Sheng ignored it and groped around the walls of the trap, looking for a way to escape.
At the moment, he was hanging on a wire, high in the air, but with the "Flying Eaves and Walls" skill, he could walk as steadily as on flat ground.
But the four walls were as cold and hard as iron, and felt so smooth that there was hardly a single flaw.
Jia Jingwen was already into the role and chuckled again:
"Master Zhang, your 'Gecko Wall Climbing Skill' is indeed extraordinary.
This trap is made of pure steel and polished to the point where there is not even a single crack. It's really interesting that you can walk on it so easily. "
Du Sheng slid down from mid-air with a gloomy face and said:
"You're trapped too, what's so funny?"
He seemed to think that the other party was extremely cunning and there must be a way out of the trap, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jia Jingwen's fair and slender hand.
Jia Jingwen exclaimed:
"what are you doing?"
Du Sheng said coldly:
"If you want to survive, find a way to leave!"
Jia Jingwen didn't care and said:
"If you hurt me in the slightest, you will never be able to escape from this prison forever."
She turned her beautiful eyes, glanced in front of her, and chuckled:
"Oh, by the way, you grabbed my hand so rudely, don't you know the difference between men and women?"
Du Sheng was hit in the soft spot by her words. He loosened his hand involuntarily, took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and slid down to sit on the ground.
Although this steel cage is small, the distance between the two people is still limited to just a few feet.
Du Sheng felt a mixture of anxiety and anger in his heart. When he smelled the faint fragrance from her body, his heart was beating fast.
I don’t know if it was because of the wirework used by Su Youpeng, but the tone and facial expressions of Su’s version of Zhang Wuji when he was reciting the lines were not very natural.
It can even be said that she pales in comparison to her rivalry with Jia Jingwen.
In contrast, Du Sheng's performance seemed much more relaxed.
"This kid's acting skills are getting purer and purer. You can't tell he's acting at all."
Lai Shuiqing, who was sitting behind the monitor, sighed in his heart.
No matter whether it was the anxious gang members outside, the awkwardness of physical contact between men and women, or the shyness of inevitable physical contact, Du Sheng managed to transition so naturally and smoothly.
It can only be described as silky.
Little did he know that after Du Sheng came back this time, he put all of his 20,000+ reputation points into his acting skills.
The acting skills are improved to 75218/100000 in one fell swoop, and the effect is naturally amazing.
