Chapter 241 Jedi Counterattack
The security outside the door is also extremely strict.

Only journalists with invitation letters are allowed to enter.

Because of the large number of people, the atmosphere was lively and noisy.

Several media outlets even had minor frictions as they competed for advantageous positions. Fortunately, security guards intervened in time to defuse the tense atmosphere.

All of this was seen by Du Sheng and others.

"Brother Sheng, aren't you nervous?"

As soon as Yang Mi finished speaking, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi and other girls who had already become familiar with each other after a period of training, all looked at the calm Du Sheng, each with their own feelings in their hearts.

Faced with such a grand scene, even Liu Yifei, who has seen a lot of the world, couldn't help feeling a little nervous at this moment.

If they think about the various strange and difficult questions they will have to deal with in a while, it would be strange if they could feel at ease.

Especially for Liu Shishi, who was still a newcomer, even though her character was as elegant as a chrysanthemum, she felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"Today is a great day, why are you so nervous?"

Du Sheng was a little surprised. Seeing their hesitation, he said with a smile:
“There’s no need to be like this, just keep calm.

No matter how you behave later, the reporters and media will definitely find fault with you, so just treat it as a casual chat."

There is one thing he hasn't said yet.

That is, the journalists and media's firepower is basically concentrated on the first game-adapted drama, the first pioneering fantasy drama, and the main creators and actors.

Especially him, as the competition with two popular young actors is getting fierce, he is bound to be surrounded by guns and ammunition.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others breathed a sigh of relief and patted their chests, knowing that Du Sheng would definitely help them resist if they were to be harassed later.

After their worries were gone, the girls gathered together again and started chattering.

Looking at the gossip and chatting, I'm afraid all the reporters would shake their heads.

As the ceremony progressed, the front desk began to unveil the cast members one by one.

First, the name of the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was announced, followed by the appearance of several producers and directors.

Their appearance really caused a stir at the scene.

Reporters rushed to take photos and interview, and cheers rang out one after another.

Du Sheng couldn't help but think:

“Perhaps the ratings of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” will become even more popular due to the consecutive competition?”

He is not worried about whether the replacement of actors will affect the quality of the entire drama.

In game adaptations, in addition to the influence of the game itself, the roles of other actors are not irreplaceable.

For example, characters like Tang Yu and Anu do not exist in the game and can be deleted or replaced at any time.

What's more, when Hu Ge starred in this drama in his previous life, he didn't even understand the sense of camera and positioning. In the later period, many of his scenes were deleted due to censorship issues, and some of the plots were incoherent.

The fact that it could become so popular was considered a miracle by several producers.

Not to mention that the advantages here are so great, it would be unforgivable if it didn't become popular.

"Brother Sheng, it's your turn."

The staff member reminded softly.

Du Sheng took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and looked at the screen.

On the screen, director Luo Ting, who was guest hosting the show, was promoting him:

"The next actor to appear has been attracting much attention recently, topping the monthly online search list three times..."

"Who is this person who is so popular?"

"Topping the search list, could it be the four young students?"

"First-tier actors with real talent won't attract so much attention, they are more likely to go the idol route."

"It can't be Zhang Ziyi, she has been on the international stage frequently recently, she looks so impressive!"

"..."

Reporters at the scene were talking about it and making all kinds of speculations.

Some mentioned four young actors or four beautiful actresses, and some even predicted that Yao Ming, who is still in the off-season, would make a guest appearance.

"This actor is a man, and he is one of the most popular young actors this year."

Luo Ting smiled mysteriously:
“He is the leading actor + action director in this drama.

When he was chosen to perform in the film, he was not as dazzling as he is today.

Now it seems that his joining the Chinese Paladin will definitely be a great help..."

The reporters' eyes widened immediately, guessing secretly in their hearts.

In fact, when Luo Ting mentioned the leading actor + action director, a name was about to come out.

As expected, following Luo Ting's prompt, the red curtain fell quietly:

The first huge poster suddenly appeared before everyone.

At the same time, Du Sheng walked steadily towards the stage, smiling and waving.

Immediately, the sounds of reporters' shutter clicks rang out one after another, like gunshots on a battlefield!
"Click, click!"

Countless photos captured this moment.

At the same time, there were also exclamations from the audience and reporters.

Some overseas game fans exchanged glances with each other, all showing some surprise.

They came to the press conference because they loved the game and won the lottery, and they don't know much about the mainland entertainment industry.

I didn’t expect that this young actor has such a strong influence in the mainland.

However, they didn’t know…

When the reporters in the audience saw Du Sheng, they were amazed as if they were electrocuted.

No one expected that Du Sheng had quietly acquired the rights to the game adaptation of "The Chinese Paladin" and even starred in it himself!

“What a surprise!”

“This is definitely the highlight of the day!”

"8000 million investment! Star Media really invested a lot this time."

"The "Goodbye, Vancouver" just announced by Rong Xinda Entertainment pales in comparison to this huge lineup!" "That's right! Chen Kun will be outdone again this time."

“This is a truly subversive reversal!”

"It seems that high-end luxury endorsements are almost certain to be his!"

Hearing the uproar at the scene, even the three directors Luo Ting, Liang Guowan and Li Dachao were quite surprised.

They knew that Du Sheng had become very popular recently because of the box office of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", but they didn't expect that his status in the hearts of reporters was so high.

Even if Ling Zhiying and Little Tigers joined, it would only be like this.

"A grassroots counterattack?"

Li Dachao's heart was full of sighs.

The reason why Du Sheng's appearance caused such a sensation was not only because of his personal charm, but also because of the fierce competition between him and Chen Kun for the Cartier endorsement rights.

This has become a hot topic in the entertainment industry today.

But today, when Chen Kun was about to save the situation, such a dramatic reversal occurred.

How could it not make reporters go crazy taking photos and publishing them?
What a reversal!

I thought Chen Kun, who had thrown out two killer moves in a row, would be as stable as a rock, but I didn't expect that at the last moment, Du Sheng would counterattack.

The dazzling brilliance of "Goodbye, Vancouver" was eclipsed by the huge impact of the hit game adaptation "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!
This is a contest full of tension!

The media were even more obsessed with this, closely linking the matter with the new film launch of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", making it a hot news topic!

[Du Sheng stars in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"! ]

[Investing 8000 million, the first person to create a fairy tale drama! ]

[The dark horse of the year, Du Sheng joins hands with the game adaptation masterpiece, Jedi transformation! ]

[Star Media's trump card, Du Sheng's powerful counterattack! ]

In an instant, countless news headlines emerged in the minds of the reporters on the scene.

Each one is full of topics, which will definitely make netizens talk about it and even make people's eyes pop up!
However, smart reporters have been eager to convey the latest news to the outside world in real time.

News reporting always races against time, and all media outlets want to get the upper hand at this press conference!

After Du Sheng appeared, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Peng Yuyan, Xu Jinjiang, Xie Junhao and others also appeared one after another.

After the excitement, it was time for regular interviews.

The reporter in the front row asked the first question:
"Excuse me, Du Sheng, how did you gain the favor of Ruanxing Technology and obtain the rights to adapt this game?"

“Maybe we have a common understanding of game adaptation.”

Du Sheng responded with a smile, modest but not conceited.

Another reporter then asked:
"Regarding the dispute between you and Chen Kun over the Cartier endorsement, do you have anything to say?"

"This question seems inconsistent with the purpose of today's press conference."

Du Sheng pointed to the poster of "Chinese Paladin" and cleverly changed the topic:
"If you have any questions about this drama, I might be able to answer a few."

The reporters looked at each other, some not knowing how to start.

Several directors expressed their appreciation for Du Sheng's performance.

It is indeed rare for someone who became famous within less than two years of debut to be able to deal with the media calmly and skillfully.

Compared to the restrained mentality of most famous artists, this can be said to be a breeze.

"Mr. Du, I heard that you appointed the three girls, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi. What is the relationship between you?"

"Relationship? All actors in this drama are admitted through audition. There is no such thing as a designated position."

After the press conference, Du Sheng finally got rid of the reporters' blockade.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Ye Jingzhi told him that he had been selected as the brand ambassador of Cartier.

The term is three months, and if one fits the three core values ​​of their brand, 'innovation, refinement, and elegance', then he or she will automatically be promoted to spokesperson.

The initial endorsement fee is: 220 million for two years.

In this day and age, the endorsement fee for an actor of this status is no less than that of Ling Zhiying.

Du Sheng smiled and nodded:

"Not bad, at least it's worth everyone's efforts."

This fee may not be high compared to the money he earned in Neon, but it is free money after all, so he should not miss it.

And the commercial value behind this is immeasurable.

At least in the future, if some brands want to invite him to perform in commercials or endorsements, they will have to refer to this.

In addition, the open and secret struggles among these young actors brought him more than 3 reputation points.

There should be a continuous stream of follow-up.

This is what he values ​​most.

"It was beyond most people's expectations that Rong Xinda could be suppressed."

Wang Jinhua also came today and expressed her agreement with a smile.

The popularity of "Goodbye, Vancouver" was directly crushed.

Not only did Chen Kun lose resources, but even his limelight was stolen.

Du Sheng's counterattack this time achieved two goals at once and stole the show.

Because the press conference of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" had just ended, news related to it swept the entire Internet like a whirlwind.

Countless people couldn't believe it and left comments under the related hot searches:

"This is simply a Jedi counterattack!"

"Oh my god! The veteran actor was instantly defeated by the new star. Is this the beginning of a new generation?"

"I'm afraid Chen Kun will have a headache this time. He originally thought that joining Zhao Baogang's new drama would be a sure win, but he didn't expect Du Sheng to have another trick up his sleeve."

"Who can stop such a hugely expensive adaptation of a game masterpiece?"

"There should be no suspense about who will be the spokesperson for Cartier this time."
