Chapter 204: Seeking Justice?
Fan Bingbing was happy for a moment, then her beautiful eyes suddenly turned and she chuckled:
"I heard that your other rumored girlfriend is also in the show. Aren't you afraid that we won't get along with her?"
Seeing that she looked normal, Du Sheng knew that she was not an ordinary crazy girl, so he smiled:
"You have always been very smart, and you shouldn't do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Besides, this kind of thing is very popular with the crew, and they are eager for you to have a scandal to attract attention."
Fan Bingbing rolled his eyes at him and snorted:
"What if that person bullies me?"
Her current fame is indeed not as great as that of Zhang Baizhi, and knowing that Oriental Star Entertainment invested in this movie, she is inferior to her in all aspects and has no complaints.
She is also well aware of the various scandals among celebrities in the circle and is no longer surprised by them.
The reason why he brought up the topic now was not to compete for the official girlfriend, but because of Zhang's dominance and whether it would be difficult for a man to be caught in the middle.
After all, she was able to perform thanks to the encouragement of men.
As for the love triangle like Zhang Baizhi in "Feng Zhifei", does she have to fight for a status?
She wouldn't be so stupid.
At least during the rising stage of their career, or even before the age of 30, they would not consider publicly announcing their relationship with a man.
"You can rest assured about this."
Du Sheng also understood the connection and said with a smile:
"During the filming, as long as you don't confront each other, I can make sure she doesn't do anything wrong."
To be honest, he did have this concern at the beginning.
After all, these two women are not easy to control.
Especially someone like Zhang Baizhi who is love-minded, always takes these things very seriously, otherwise the love affair between 'Feng Zhifei' and 'Feng Zhifei' would not have caused such a sensation.
Although a lot of things have changed now, this girl has been affected by several special skills and currently has almost no room for other men in her heart.
But there is a saying that goes "Don't be afraid of a thousand things, just be safe."
In view of this, Du Sheng spent his accumulated 9 reputation points a few days ago to upgrade "Open Heart" to LV3.
Not surprisingly, the effect of 'being open-minded for a long time, being determined and understanding each other' becomes stronger.
Especially the point about her unwavering determination, which can be seen from Zhang Baizhi's reluctant state when they parted last time.
Therefore, at this moment he was not worried at all that he would not be able to suppress the jealousy between the two women.
As for whether they can get along harmoniously, or even...
This is currently unknown, and everything will depend on the follow-up.
"That's fine. I don't care about your romantic affairs."
Fan Bingbing was a playboy before, so he has long been open-minded about these things.
However, she was reluctant to give up the man beside her.
For now, living one day at a time is a safe approach.
Fan Bingbing stopped exploring these issues and changed the subject:
"The crew said that filming will officially start in three days. Are you sure you can finish it?"
"It's already finished, there's no need to deal with it anymore."
Du Sheng saw a group of wild mandarin ducks in front of him, chirping, and pulled the woman back:
"Tomorrow I will have a meeting with the investors of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. I have to make time to go there."
The project has been approved and submitted for review, and the next steps are contract signing, remittance, and preparation.
Although Fan Bingbing also wanted to act, he was busy filming a drama and obviously didn't have the time.
When he got home and saw her taking out some potato chips to watch a DVD, Du Sheng directly carried her to the bed.
"Ah! Not coming tonight!"
Fan Bingbing exclaimed.
Last time she didn't get up until noon, and her legs were weak when she boarded the plane.
"Everyone is running out of time now, so just tell me whether you want to come or not?"
——Omit 10,000 words——
Seeing Fan Bingbing collapsed into a ball, Du Sheng finally let out the anger in his heart.
This girl is dressed so charmingly tonight, and she is wearing a black silk suit.
Who can bear this?
The feeling in the abdomen when I upgraded the Nine Yang Magical Art last time was probably due to internal force (correction in Chapter 188).
Although it cannot be activated for the time being due to meridian reasons, the effect of transformation is great. The extremely hard and yang characteristics cause the rage to become more and more intense.
Du Sheng calculated in his mind that 1 VS 2 should be no problem given his current condition.
In addition, the effect of "Yin Yang Transposition" in correcting the girls' defects is obvious, so of course we have to urge them to practice hard!
.........
France, near the Seine River.
In a suite of a luxurious hotel, Li Bingbing stood by the window with a heavy heart, looking at the starry sky outside.
Although the movie "Purple Butterfly", which they had high hopes for, made it to the Cannes Film Festival, it is still unknown whether it can win an award.
The most important thing is that after its premiere in France not long ago, the box office was pitifully low.
If the same situation continues when the film is released in Germany, it may not even be shortlisted for a film festival.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Assistant Xiao Chen hurried in with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness on his face.
"Sister Bing, I have some bad news..."
Li Bingbing frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind:
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
"It's... it's the role of Yuehua in "The Mouse Loves the Cat" that was originally scheduled to be played by you, but it was... taken away."
Xiao Chen lowered his head and spoke cautiously.
"what?"
Li Bingbing raised his head suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Who robbed it?"
"It's... it's Fan Bingbing."
Xiao Chen's voice became smaller and smaller. Hearing this name, Li Bingbing's face instantly turned pale.
The name Fan Bingbing has long become a taboo in her heart, and the feud between the two has a long history.
Now he is openly stealing her role, which is undoubtedly a slap in her face.
"What's going on? Why did the crew agree to this?"
No matter how well-mannered Li Bingbing was, he couldn't suppress his anger at this moment.
"I heard that it was Du Sheng who proposed it to the crew."
Xiao Chen answered cautiously:
"He is extremely popular now, and the crew asked him to play the leading role, probably hoping to use his popularity to boost the mainland box office..."
"Du Sheng?"
Li Bingbing's face darkened and he said:
"He actually has such a great influence that he can be used as a reference for suggestions by the crew?"
They have been abroad for more than a month and don't know much about the situation in China.
In addition, she didn't pay attention to those up-and-coming stars, and her thinking was still stuck in March, so she had no idea that Du Sheng had already risen.
Xiao Chen was about to speak when the door was pushed open again.
Wang Zhonglei walked in.
He had just finished dealing with the film festival submission process, but the news he received was not good and he was in a bad mood.
Li Bingbing observed his expression, leaned into his arms and asked a few questions in a gentle voice.
Wang Zhonglei answered briefly, and suddenly noticed that her face looked a little ugly:
"what happened?"
"Didn't you help me get some movie resources before?"
Li Bingbing didn't cry, but just said sadly:
"The crew suggested that Fan Bingbing play the role, and Sister Hua agreed."
"Wang Jinhua? Is she the one behind this again?"
Wang Zhonglei frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes:
"She really thought she could turn the tables when I'm not around!"
He thought for a moment and asked again:
"This movie is a joint production between Hong Kong and the mainland. How could the crew remove you for no reason?"
Assistant Xiao Chen answered:
"Liu Dehua didn't have time to perform, so Dongfangxing Entertainment suggested that Du Sheng take over, and the latter suggested replacing Sister Bing."
"Du Sheng? The little henchman who had a scandal with Fan Bingbing in the past?"
Wang Zhonglei sneered:
"You've really grown wings."
That time, Du Sheng went to visit Fan Bingbing on the set of "Flying Daggers Again", and the two of them left a deep impression on him.
If he hadn't been too busy recently, he would have let Fan Bingbing and his three men see what it means to have planes and cannons attacking together.
Wang Zhonglei's eyes changed for a moment, and he hugged Li Bingbing into his arms, patted her shoulder and said:
“Don’t worry, I will seek justice for you after returning home.
No one can take your role away from you!"
Li Bingbing was delighted but did not show it. She just lay in his arms with a pitiful look on her face.
As expected, this appearance aroused Wang Zhonglei's alternative desire to protect.
He picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.
.........
The next morning, Du Sheng pushed away Fan Bingbing, who was clinging to him like a lazy cat, and got out of bed to wash up and do some boxing.
When he came back and saw that the woman hadn't woken up yet, he simply put breakfast on the table, sent her a text message and went out.
Representatives of the four investors met today to formally sign the contract and start preparations.
The relevant agreements had been negotiated before, and there was not much to discuss when we met. The main issues were money, accounting, supervision, and production.
These are easy to handle. All parties have representatives and no one can be fooled.
In addition, there are matters such as location selection and shooting arrangements.
However, these are also the responsibility of the three directors Luo Ting, Liang Guoguan and Li Dachao, and it is also their responsibility.
Fortunately, the script provided by Du Sheng was detailed enough, and even the use and processing of shots in each scene, the coordination of characters' expressions and movements, as well as the changes in the plot were all clear and concise, which saved a lot of time.
The most important thing is that this script even provides references for filming locations.
They initially inspected several locations and found all of them were quite suitable for scene shooting, it was outrageous!
If everything goes well, it will probably be ready for operation in a month and a half.
Finally, we discussed issues such as casting.
Unexpectedly, before Du Sheng even opened her mouth to recommend Liu Yifei to play the female lead 'Zhao Linger', the role was snatched away by someone else!
"I don't know if you have watched Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. I think the actress who plays Wang Yuyan in the film has a very fairy-like temperament, which perfectly fits the character setting of Zhao Linger..."
As the largest investor of Ruanxing Technology, Yao Zhuangxian directly gave the candidate he had chosen.
Du Sheng silently gave a thumbs up to the sponsor, but did not take the lead in agreeing.
Just in case, it’s better to leave it until the end and wait for the final decision.
Zhong Zhen glanced at him with a half-smile, knowing very well that the relationship between this cousin pair was not simple.
She originally thought that Du Sheng would be the first to recommend Liu Yifei, but she didn't expect such a surprise.
However, Liu Yifei's current fame is second only to the Four Dans and Two Bings, and her extraordinary temperament is indeed a good fit.
Zhong Zhen did not object and nodded in agreement.
In this way, even if the TV station has some opinions, it cannot change the result.
What's more, Deputy Director Chen Yamei, as a representative, also praised Liu Yifei, so it can be said that it was passed unanimously.
Du Sheng did not make any suggestions for the following important supporting roles, including the second male lead Tang Yu, the third male lead Liu Jinyuan, the Drunken Swordsman, the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader, and Lin Qing'er. He only spoke up when those who did not quite fit the role settings.
Fortunately, everyone here has a vested interest in this big production, and the candidates they recommend are reliable.
In addition, with the popular pair of Du Sheng and Liu Yifei in charge, and veteran actors such as Xu Jinjiang and Xie Junhao confirmed to join, the ratings are also guaranteed.
After the resolution, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
