Chapter 288: Hiding the Head and Sneaking the Tail
Du Sheng no longer paid attention to these things.

After thinking about it, I called Ye Jingzhi:

"The day after tomorrow, Bingbing and I will attend the charity event for "A World Apart". Do you have any other plans recently?"

"There are no other arrangements."

Ye Jingzhi still maintained her elegance and replied with a smile:

"But the advertising, endorsements and film contracts are still coming in, and the prices have even increased. They are moving pretty fast."

Just a few days after the release of "Infernal Affairs 2", many crews and investors were waving their money, wanting to invest in Du Sheng's potential and future commercial value in advance.

But this is not surprising, his popularity has risen a lot.

Everyone is working for the benefit of the people, so even if there is a grudge, we can sit down and talk.

"Just make the decision."

Du Sheng responded with a smile.

Although he hasn't been filming recently, it doesn't mean he has free time.

In addition to the continued promotion of "Infernal Affairs 2", matters related to Star Media also need to be dealt with.

For example, the launch of the "Kung Fu" program, the expansion of "Kung Fu School" and theater chains, and the purchase of three new villas all required his personal participation.

Not to mention that sometimes endorsements such as Cartier and Wahaha also require attendance when new products are launched.

In addition, news came from the Xin Huamian Company that they will join the crew by mid-October at the latest.

Although the shooting schedule was approaching, Ye Jingzhi turned down most of Du Sheng's public activities, but there were always some occasions that were difficult to refuse, and it was better for Du Sheng to show up.

For example, the event the day after tomorrow.

Tianya, the leading social platform in China, launched a charity fundraising campaign called "Tianya Ruobi Lin".

Many celebrities in the circle were invited, including artists from Star Media.

Du Sheng was naturally familiar with this charity fundraising.

Since the Tianya Forum opened the "Entertainment Chat" section, it has quickly become an important platform for netizens to exchange entertainment information.
It has also become one of the most influential entertainment platforms on the Internet.

Nowadays, its popularity is second only to blogs, forums, etc.

Just half a month ago, a seriously ill girl named Zhang Miao'e posted a call for help on the forum, which triggered a large-scale fundraising and aid campaign on the forum and caused a huge social response.

Domestic media also reported this extensively.

Tianya Forum took advantage of the situation and launched the "The World is Not Yours" charity fundraising campaign in the entertainment industry.

The rules of the fund-raising activity are very simple. It is to propose that the stars donate the clothes or items they have used before and sell them for charity. The proceeds will be used to help people in need in the mountainous areas.

Therefore, in addition to celebrities, there will also be some wealthy people from all walks of life participating.

Ye Jingzhi said:

“Behind all the big names, there will inevitably be capital fuelling the trend.

This is not only a fundraising event, but also a stage for celebrities to show their charm.

For artists like you who are very popular, every move you make will be watched.

Have you thought about what you're going to donate for the charity sale?"

"Items related to the character."

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"The character items in Infernal Affairs 2 and House of Flying Daggers are temporarily unavailable.
The crown that Murong Fu wore in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and the jade disk that Hua Tuo wore in "The Female Dragon" are quite suitable.

Most of these are unique pieces, and to be honest, I feel a little reluctant to donate them.

However, this can be considered as a contribution to charity.”

"This is a good idea. We don't have to worry about missing a shot."

Ye Jingzhi nodded in approval and continued:

"But even if no one takes the film, the companies will basically cover the cost, so you can rest assured."

"reveal all the details?"

Du Sheng understood as soon as he heard it and laughed.

Ye Jingzhi didn't care:

“For example, our company will basically provide a budget of 3 yuan.

If you cannot sell your jade disc at this price, the company will buy it back.

If the bid for the jade bi exceeds 3 yuan, everyone will be happy.

For someone of your status, it is not shameful to sell it at this price for charity."

"..."

Du Sheng had never participated in this kind of event before and was not sure whether he had any fans there.

Otherwise, letting family members cover the cost would be somewhat embarrassing, and outsiders would also be able to see through the true and false status of the person.

"Don't worry."

Ye Jingzhi seemed to sense Du Sheng's worry and joked:
“Those coal bosses may not easily make an offer, but such charity events usually involve high-ranking officials and the second generation of the rich.

These people participate in charity events often to get close to their favorite stars, and are willing to donate generously to their idols.

And you are currently ranked in the top three of the rich women's lover list, there will definitely be a lot of housewives going crazy for you that night!"

Du Sheng's mouth twitched, but he couldn't refute.

It is indeed very attractive for celebrities to participate in charity donations.

Although the entertainment industry is full of hypocrisy, its influence on charity does indeed fuel the cause.

The reason why the charity gala of "Tianya" becomes more and more influential is precisely based on this point.

“But this time, it feels like something unexpected will happen.”

Ye Jingzhi changed the subject and said something meaningful.

Du Sheng asked curiously:

"Accident?"

Ye Jingzhi nodded slightly:

"This time, the "A World Apart" fundraising event invited many mainland celebrities, including Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jing and others.

It's been a long time since you and Huang Xiaoming appeared at the same event. I hope everything goes well then." "That's not a problem."

Du Sheng seemed indifferent.

Although he was rated as one of the four young actors of the new generation, he has already left the other three behind.

Just like Zhang Ziyi, who has become an international star among the four young actresses, she is no longer in the same level.

"In addition to Huayi, Rongxinda's Chen Kun and Zhou Xun may also attend the event. They were invited by Tianya's CEO Cao himself."

Du Sheng looked a little strange.

Although Ye Jingzhi was not beside Du Sheng, she was like a worm in his stomach, smiling and reminding him:

"No matter what grudges you have had in the past, it's best not to show them, otherwise you will be laughed at."

Du Sheng smiled:
"You should worry about whether the other party will do something stupid."

Ye Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Du Sheng was not the kind of person who would act rashly.

She seemed to remember something and said speechlessly:
“The way that Tianya invited guests this time is a bit like catching everything in one fell swoop.

Not only did we arrange you and Huayi's artists to participate in the same event, but we also invited Chen Kun.

Everyone knows that there is something subtle about the relationship between you two. I can only say that you are really bold. "

"Can Bingbing come?"

Du Sheng didn't comment and was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"She has taken leave and should be able to arrive on time."

Ye Jingzhi just mentioned it casually and changed her suggestion:
"In the future, the company may arrange for you to guide new people to increase your exposure—"

"Me? Maybe I don't have time."

“That’s right, after participating in the “Neighbors” fundraising event, I will not arrange any more announcements for you.

You will have to rush to the crew by then, and I will have to take care of the aftermath for you..."

These days, as Tianya’s announcement came out.

The Internet was flooded with news about the "Neighbors" fundraising gala, and major media outlets competed to report on it.

Even the list of artists participating in the event was made public, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

In this list.

It brings together many first-line stars from the mainland!
The "A World So Small" fundraising gala has become the hottest topic.

Especially with the news that several popular actresses are about to appear on the same stage, the media has sensed the scent of hot news.

In comparison, the old story between Du Sheng and Chen Kun has become a relic of the past.

Du Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Although the previous "The World Is So Small" fundraising gala was also very lively, there were not many well-known artists participating at the beginning.

Unlike this time, not only is the star lineup strong, but the topic of discussion is also unprecedentedly high.

Of course, this is also due to the continued rise in popularity of "Tianya", which now ranks among the top three social platforms.

If it had not been for the subsequent management disorder and decline in content quality, and if it had not been replaced by emerging social software, it would probably still be fighting with Weibo.

That evening, Du Sheng's car set off from his villa in Beijing on time and headed for the event venue.

Many large-scale events will be held in the capital, so he arrived early.

Arriving at the venue, Du Sheng and Fan Bingbing got out of the car one after the other and entered the backstage area under the guidance of the Tianya specialist:

“There are many media reporters here today, and the artists will definitely be on camera.

We have arranged a special dressing room, please come this way."

Du Sheng nodded, and after a brief exchange with Fan Bingbing, they left.

He did not wear any makeup when he went out. Usually when participating in events that require taking photos, artists will put on makeup after arriving at the location.

As a man, Du Sheng rarely wears makeup in private.

But there is no way to appear on stage.

Especially under the spotlight, even heavy makeup looks like light makeup.

If you wear light makeup, once the spotlight is on, it is almost impossible to see any traces of makeup.

Therefore, whether it is for stage performance or shooting needs, a makeup mirror is a crucial element.

"Brother Sheng, this way please."

A receptionist led Du Sheng to the dressing room on the left and opened the door:

"This is the makeup room we have prepared for you. A makeup artist will be there to serve you later."

Du Sheng nodded slightly and walked in.

On the other side, Fan Bingbing and her assistant Zhang Siman also entered a dressing room.

After waiting for a few minutes, the promised makeup artist still didn't show up.

Zhang Siman paced back and forth, and said in a slightly angry tone:
"I'll go and urge them. They are being too disrespectful to us."

"Excuse me!"

Just then, someone knocked on the door. The receptionist who had left earlier stood outside the door, looking guilty:
"Could you please ask Sister Bingbing to change the dressing room..."

Zhang Siman guessed something instantly and frowned:

“We’ve already made the reservation two days ago, and now we’re asked to move?
This isn’t the first time that Tianya has held an event, how could something go wrong?”

Fan Bingbing's face was calm, but he had some guesses in his mind.

When it comes to event arrangements, artists' use of dressing rooms has always been the most controversial topic.

In this situation, it is likely that a more important star wants to occupy the exclusive dressing room.

Even though her popularity is not as high as the Four Little Flowers, she represents the image of Star Media externally.

Even if a big-name artist wants to requisition the dressing room, he shouldn't be so rude to ask people to vacate the space and hide his head and tail, right?
