Chapter 255: Feel proud!
Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"I will probably still be filming a movie at that time, and the earliest it will be filmed will be early next year."
Although Zhang Yimou is not as demanding as Stephen Chow when making movies, it is normal for him to take three to two months to shoot a movie.
“It’s OK at the beginning of the year, now it’s just casting.”
Min Xiaozheng thought of Song Hye Kyo's upcoming romantic drama, which was scheduled for the prime time on KBS TV until next year, and said:
"If you can get it done, we can then decide on the location scouting in your country and correct the protagonist's background..."
In the Korean entertainment industry, especially in TV drama production, screenwriters generally have more power than directors.
According to He Ran's version, the male protagonist himself is a big oriental star.
This was completely tailor-made for Du Sheng, and the script did not need any major modifications in the end.
Although KBS bought out the script and Min Hyo-jung also serves as producer + screenwriter, some things require authenticity.
After the general negotiation, Du Sheng stood up and shook hands with him with a smile:
"Mr. Min, thank you very much for your trust. I also look forward to working with KBS TV and Ms. Song Hye Kyo..."
After some pleasantries, the preliminary contract was signed, and everyone was happy.
If he remembered correctly, "Full House" would not be released until the second half of next year.
If he adopts the mode of shooting and broadcasting at the same time, it means he has plenty of time.
As for the little bit of pay, it is dispensable in the face of huge popularity and reputation.
After all, I already have quite a few skills, and the most important thing now is to improve a few main skills.
Especially "Dragon Elephant", "Nine Suns", "Acting", etc., which require tens of millions of reputation points. It is time to gain popularity in Asia.

"Brother Sheng, the ratings for last night's Yangshi Channel 5 live show are out!"
As soon as he left the cafe, Wang Yaoyang excitedly held up his phone and said:
"As expected, the record from the previous issue was broken again!"
Du Sheng took a glance and saw some domestic media reports.
Among them, "Oriental Sports Express" mentioned the relevant content of Yangshi Live K1.
He quickly scanned and fixed his eyes on the ratings:
3.33%!
What was the last time the quarterfinals were broadcast live?
It seems to be 3.22%.
Although the upward momentum is not high, this is almost the best data that Yangshi Channel 5 can show off this year.
In addition to the fact that he, a Chinese national, won all the competitions, it is also inseparable from K1's increasing investment in publicity and promotion in the East.
Du Sheng was happy to hear this.
Anyway, your things will be mine from now on, and mine will still be mine.
For most of the next day, he cooperated with K1's follow-up promotion.
The area that was most involved was the direction of public opinion for the subsequent semi-finals.
He would probably have to make another trip later, once the host venue was confirmed.
However, there is a reward for every effort, which is also the reason for running frequently.
On the other side, the capital.
After Du Sheng made it to the semi-finals of K1 GP, Bi Shi'an and his uncle Director Bi came forward as representatives of Yangshi Channel 5 to have an in-depth discussion on program planning with Ye Jingzhi from Star Media and Zheng Zetao from Goldlion Group.
After several rounds of negotiations, the three parties reached a final cooperation agreement.
Star Media and Goldlion each invested 5 million, and YangTV Channel took the broadcasting channel as the basis, and the three parties worked together to create the "Kung Fu" program.
Among them, Yangshi Channel 5 and Star Media each hold 40% of the equity, while Goldlion Group holds the remaining 20%.
If the investment is not enough, Star Media and Goldlion will increase their investment in proportion in the future.
Star Media has promised to ensure that Du Sheng is deeply involved in the production of the program and that his appearance time in the program will be at least 8% of the total length of the program.
Goldlion Group will enjoy the right to insert advertisements and the priority sponsorship of boxers' clothing and accessories.
After the program is completed, Yangshi Channel 5 will have the exclusive broadcasting rights.
However, Yangshi Channel 5 must ensure that the program is broadcast during prime time in the evening, waive all broadcasting fees and advertising time fees, and ensure that annual advertising revenue is no less than million.
If the target is not met, the difference will be made up by the applicant.
In addition, the two parties also reached detailed agreements on a number of specific terms such as sponsorship and naming.
After the agreement was finalized, Star Media immediately launched the intensive preparations for "Kung Fu".
At the same time, Yangshi Channel 5 also stepped up its efforts to promote Du Sheng's international competitions in an all-round and comprehensive manner.
Du Sheng's reputation and appeal directly affect the ratings of "Kung Fu", and the ratings are a direct barometer of advertising revenue.
YTV Channel 5 is determined to make this program a benchmark, so it spares no effort and even plans to send a filming team to Hong Kong during the semi-final stage to track and film Du Sheng around the clock.
The purpose is to produce a high-quality documentary that can be played repeatedly in the future.
.........
In the afternoon, Zheng Ziyan and others who had returned to China excitedly sent messages.
She published a total of three reports during this interview with the delegation, and they are now more or less on the major hot searches.
What’s even more gratifying is that she was finally promoted to deputy editor-in-chief.
This is all thanks to Du Sheng, and they said they would celebrate together after he returns.
In addition, because the news of Du Sheng reaching the K1 semi-finals spread widely in the country, the related popularity suddenly increased.
For example, on blogs and forums, three of the top 20 hot searches are related to him.
Even the number of fans increased by nearly 60 again, reaching 680 million.
I guess there's still some aftermath of "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber" involved.
Because there is not much water in the fan base, the fan stickiness is much higher than those of the tens of millions of stars.
Ye Jingzhi also took time out of her busy schedule to send a message, saying that three TV stations had approached Star Media today, basically wanting him to perform at their Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Galas.
As for filming, shooting commercials, etc., some crews offer 3.8 per episode.
However, Du Sheng was too busy and declined for the time being.
It must be said that his popularity is now no less than that of the four young actors. When he got on the plane at night, Du Sheng glanced at his reputation value.
It has skyrocketed by more than 4 since last night.
The total amount has once again exceeded the 10 mark!
And this is just the effect brought about by the ratings of the two countries.
If we take into account the fermentation of public opinion, a few tens of thousands more should not be a problem.
His eyes fell on several main skills, and after thinking about it, he finally added it to "Dragon Elephant".
[Dragon Elephant Prajna Power: Fifth Level/Blue (345848/729000)]
The progress bar is almost halfway through!
If we continue with this momentum, we should be able to make a breakthrough in the finals.
By then, if the sixth layer really penetrates the Ren Meridian of the Ren and Du Meridians, then there is a high probability of mobilizing internal strength.
This change can be described as a complete transformation.
After all, at present Ming Jin can only act on the spine. If it can mobilize the legs and arms, the burst will be even more powerful.
In addition, the Ren Meridian will open up the Guanyuan, Shenque and other acupoints near the lower Dantian, and the internal force may be able to escape!
The future is expected!

[Breaking news! Du Sheng is suspected to join Zhang Yimou's new movie! ]
【"Ten Thousand Reasons" online album sales exceeded one million! 】
【Real Kung Fu! Du Sheng made it to the K1 semi-finals, and the Chinese finally got their due in the boxing world! 】
[Film, TV, music and martial arts are flourishing, the finale of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has a viewership of over 8, and may have a chance to win the Golden Eagle Award]
The next morning, Du Sheng glanced at the media reports.
As expected, many reports related to him made headlines in major weekly magazines and entertainment news.
In contrast, controversies arose.
There was a lot of controversy surrounding Du Sheng's deeds.
This is an unavoidable reality.
After all, artists like Du Sheng who are versatile and have made achievements in various fields are rare in China and have made remarkable achievements.
Let’s not talk about the hot topic of K1 fighting breaking into the top four.
During the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was popular, the ratings continued to soar, and Du Sheng won wide acclaim for his role as Zhang Wuji.
The drama performed very well. Many TV stations purchased it for rebroadcast, and several investors were also very satisfied.
But after all, it is a remake by Jin Yong, so it is inevitable that it will be criticized by the original fans.
Especially during this period when competition among popular young actors and rumors about their works broke out, it aroused extremely high public opinion.
The topic about the upcoming selection of the new "Four Little Freshmen" is even more popular.
But it is obvious that the number of nominations for Du Sheng far exceeds that of Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others.
The reason is simple.
Because he's been very popular recently.
People always tend to chase hot spots.
Whoever is the most talked about will naturally become the focus of attention.
Moreover, he is a hot topic and reporting on him can attract a lot of traffic and attention.
However, it is currently difficult for these magazine media to invite Du Sheng for an exclusive interview, so they can only settle for the next best thing and choose other members of the "Yitian" crew as interviewees.
Interstellar Media, inside the office.
Ye Jingzhi was still as intellectual and elegant as ever. She looked at Du Sheng who came in and said with emotion:
"Since becoming the Cartier ambassador, you have gained more and more recognition from all walks of life."
Recently, she has politely declined many invitations to endorsements or interviews from Du Sheng over the phone.
It was purely because Du Sheng’s schedule was too tight. He had to promote the K1 event and participate in the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Despite this, the calls continue to come in.
Well-known media outlets are fine.
It is unknown where those tabloids and small drama crews get the confidence from, and it is unknown whether they can afford Du Sheng's expenses.
"As long as you are busy."
Du Sheng smiled:
"If it really doesn't work, hire one or two more assistants, or let Sister Hua handle the film and television related projects."
“Sister Hua is busy too, and she has helped share a lot of the burden recently.
There is no rush to recruit people, we will see the situation later."
Ye Jingzhi smiled slightly, her spirits high:
"Your new album has received feedback. The ringtone sales of "Ten Thousand Reasons" have exceeded one million, and "Pray to the Buddha" is also close to...
At this rate, we should be able to reach tens of millions within a year!"
Ringtones are still a new product in mainland China, and currently singles that can gross over 10 million yuan are extremely rare.
If Du Sheng's memory serves him correctly, it will have to wait until next year when the Internet leader's song "Mouse Loves Rice" is released and competes with Dao Lang's three songs for the grand event of tens of millions of downloads.
"That's fine, just follow up on these things."
After a short chat, Ye Jingzhi knew that Du Sheng would have to join the group soon, so she made a long story short:
“Didn’t you say before that you signed House of Flying Daggers?
The latest news from Xin Hua Mian Company is that the relevant matters have been basically confirmed and the filming is expected to start in November. You still have plenty of time."
Ye Jingzhi's face was filled with joy.
She was truly happy for Du Sheng.
"Have the roles been finalized?"
There is not much controversy about the two main characters, Jin and Yin, and their performance levels are similar.
Previously, it was just a preliminary agreement on the intention, and the details have not yet been implemented.
Because the script has not been finalized yet, some characters still need to be adjusted.
