Chapter 292 A mess! [Thanks to Shiguang1979 for giving a reward with a mission]
As for relying on connections or background to exclude others?
With Star Media as her backing, Fan Bingbing doesn't have to worry about not having movies to shoot or advertising endorsements.
The other party likes to work for nothing, and no one can stop him.
However, to be on the safe side, we should take some measures.
She believed that the man must have a backup plan, but he just hadn't used it yet.
"I understand."
Zhang Siman smiled again and said:
"Thank you for your comfort, Brother Sheng. Um... there's something I've been holding back from saying, so I might as well tell you all at once today."
"what's up?"
Du Sheng was a little curious.
Zhang Siman looked at Du Sheng, a rare hint of shame flashing in her eyes:
“Please, can you not be so gentle to every girl?
Don’t you know you are a natural charmer? "
"Cough cough."
Wang Yaoyang, who was driving in the front seat, suddenly coughed, and then said embarrassedly:
"Sorry, sorry, Brother Sheng..."
"Don't worry, everyone in the world knows about your secret crush on her except you."
Du Sheng laughed and ignored Wang Yaoyang's shyness:
"Siman, do you know that the walls of Yaoyang's house are all covered with your photos?"
"Need you to tell me? My pigs know everything."
Zhang Siman curled her lips and ended this boring topic directly with a complaint.
Wang Yaoyang: “…”
I do not know how?
Fan Bingbing watched Du Sheng easily warm up the atmosphere, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
It is probably because of this kind of personality that he can handle interpersonal relationships with ease and be promoted so quickly.
But then again, if I hadn't responded to Zhang Zilang and Zhang Ziyi, this guy would probably have made a big deal out of it.
So either don't provoke him, otherwise even the king of heaven would dare to take a bite.
Today Zhang Ziyi is an example.
There are no impervious walls in the world.
It probably won’t be long before this news spreads on the Internet.
Du Sheng originally had this guess.
Although there were no media present at the time, many onlookers saw it with their own eyes.
It is more difficult to guard against the people's mouths than to guard against the river.
However, surprisingly, this incident did not become a hot topic that night.
Tianya Community doesn’t think it has such great capabilities.
Was it the connections behind Zhang Ziyi that took action, or was it X Fund that stepped in?
What’s even more surprising is that this incident was not even reported in newspapers or magazines.
Some tabloids may secretly reveal the news, but without pictures or truth, the public simply won’t believe it.
However, many people in the circle are already familiar with this scene.
When Du Sheng thought about how Zhang Ziyi and the organizer almost had a falling out at the end of last night, he had some vague guesses in his mind.
After this incident, many businesses and organizers reached a consensus:
If you invite Du Sheng in the future, you can no longer invite Zhang Ziyi.
Otherwise it will be a mess!
In the next few days, Du Sheng did not participate in any activities except continuing to cooperate with the promotion of "Infernal Affairs 2".
In today's era, publicity and promotion play a big role in determining whether a movie's box office success can be sustained.
However, this film is indeed a classic, and with the increase in the number of screenings, it has recently become very popular.
Not only did the number in Hong Kong exceed 2000 million, but the number in the mainland also reached 2300 million.
The blockbuster "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" released during the same period only grossed 1600 million in mainland China.
Judging from the trend of its increasingly fewer screenings, it is questionable whether it can break 3 million.
In view of this, acquaintances such as Li Leda, Ju Jueliang, Yuan Bin, and Ling Zhiying have sent congratulations to Du Sheng from time to time in the past few days.
Even Er Dongsheng, a famous director who rarely contacts Du Sheng, couldn't help but send a message to Du Sheng:
"Infernal Affairs 2 topped the weekly box office charts, which is amazing. It won the first battle and is no less successful than the first film!"
"Haha, Sir, you're exaggerating too much."
Du Sheng replied to each message one by one.
Er Dongsheng is currently busy filming "The Mystery of the Ancient Sword 2". This call was simply to get closer to him.
By the way, remind Du Sheng not to forget the previous agreement.
Just as Er Dongsheng said, "Infernal Affairs 2" swept the weekly box office charts in Hong Kong and Mainland China and won the championship!
Du Sheng is not just a decoration in this film, his role is important and his acting skills are well received. The success of the film is inseparable from him!
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now."
When Du Sheng washed his face, the burden in his heart was finally lifted.
Although he expected that Infernal Affairs 2 would be a hit, he was a little worried about whether his participation would affect the overall situation.
Now all doubts have disappeared.
Thinking back carefully, the worry is not unreasonable.
Du Sheng recalled that in his previous life, due to the rampant pirated discs, the box office performance of the "Infernal Affairs" series in mainland China was not ideal.
There are also some issues with pirated discs these days, so the achievement is indeed surprising.
Some laymen may be dismissive:
"In the future, the box office of blockbuster movies will easily reach billions. What is there to brag about with your box office of tens of millions?"
Here is some data.
In his previous life, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" raked in 2.5 million yuan at the box office in mainland China. That year, this figure accounted for a quarter of the annual box office.
This shows what?
Later, "Avengers" was strong enough.
Even so, it only accounted for 11% of the total box office for the year.
That's the difference between the times.
The criteria for judging a movie also changes!
After coming back from boxing, Du Sheng glanced at his phone and found many more congratulations. Even Gao Hu and Jiang Xin, who he had rarely contacted since the filming of "Tian Long", sent greetings.
He took advantage of the break from breakfast to reply one by one. Du Sheng didn't think that others were snobbish, but they just saw that you were showing signs of improvement, so they naturally wanted to get closer to you.
Arriving at Miracle Studio, Du Sheng felt that the eyes of the people around him seemed to be different again.
Although he couldn't describe the specific changes, the posture was visible.
Du Sheng felt emotional and walked into Ye Jingzhi's office.
“It’s still a publicity matter.”
Ye Jingzhi didn't mention the weekly champion, but her smile was obviously more friendly than usual:
"Liu Weiqiang hopes that you can make two more trips to participate in the subsequent promotional activities of the film.
Now "Infernal Affairs 2" is fighting with the newly released Hollywood blockbusters.
Although we are leading at the box office, it is not impossible for the other party to turn the tables! "
"learn."
Du Sheng still had some free time before joining the crew.
Ye Jingzhi continued:
"The company's senior executives have discussed it and are planning to hold a celebration party for you. Let's find some time in the evening so that we can relax together."
Du Sheng smiled slightly.
As the company grows in size, it becomes necessary to get familiar with everyone.
"And one more thing……"
Ye Jingzhi added:
“The company has arranged a dedicated stylist for you, and she will report for work next week.
This stylist is very famous in the industry and is the designated stylist of many first-line stars. From now on, your styling will be completely handed over to him."
Du Sheng responded with a smile:
"It seems that my team needs to be updated as well."
Ye Jingzhi smiled and looked at him:
"Infernal Affairs 2 is gaining momentum at the box office, so just focus on promoting it with Liu Weiqiang, but don't exhaust yourself.
You are now a treasure in the eyes of many people in the company."
Du Sheng smiled and said jokingly:
"Is there a little leaf like you in here?"
Ye Jingzhi rolled her eyes at him, her elegance mixed with a bit of charm.
The word "baby" has another meaning for her——
This guy sometimes seems like a precious treasure and sometimes seems like a thorny problem.
Especially there were too many gossips, and she called them outrageous!
Leave Ye Jingzhi's office.
Du Sheng returned to his lounge, where fresh newspapers from this morning were piled on the table.
He glanced casually and saw that many of them were news reports about "Infernal Affairs 2".
【Liu Weiqiang's legend is still being written! 】
[The movie "Infernal Affairs 2" is expected to hit 5 million box office in the near future! ]
[In the first round of the year-end battle, "Infernal Affairs 2" defeated "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". Liu Weiqiang praised Director He Ping for his talent and hoped that every creator could live up to expectations! ]
[Revealing Du Sheng’s scandalous stories during the filming of “Infernal Affairs 2”! ]
[Exclusive interview with He Ping: Although "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" lost, it still won glory. The opponents in this National Day period are too strong! ]
"..."
The momentum is indeed good, and the box office appeal is also demonstrated.
Just then, Wang Jinhua came in, and Du Sheng said:
“You can reply to Liu Sir, I still have time in the next two days.
By the way, I don’t have any other plans recently, right? "
"Not yet."
Wang Jinhua smiled and said:
"But now your popularity is rising again, and more and more brands are looking for you to be their spokesperson. The offers are almost piling up..."
"Well, let's wait and see until the end of the month."
Du Sheng nodded without much thought.
After the end of the month, regardless of whether he can win or not, his popularity is expected to soar thanks to the overwhelming publicity of K1 fighting.
Signing the contract now is the most disadvantageous.
"correct……"
Wang Jinhua continued:
"Early this morning, as the weekly box office of Infernal Affairs 2 opened, there were a lot of positive reports about you. Even Zhang Yimou was very happy."
This is naturally within reason.
Xin Huamian Company turned down the scheduled leading actor Jin Chengwu and replaced him with Du Sheng.
Everyone knows that the more popular Du Sheng is, the greater the benefit to the film.
For Zhang Yimou, it was undoubtedly a surprise that Du Sheng had such a strong box office appeal.
The reason why he hesitated before was that he was worried that Du Sheng would not be able to take on the important role.
After all, being popular is one thing, but being able to make the audience willing to pay for tickets is another.
Now that Infernal Affairs 2, starring Du Sheng, has been a huge success, Zhang Yimou can finally relax.
Even felt a little relieved.
In fact, it’s not just Zhang Yimou.
TV dramas and movies that have not yet been released, such as "The Mouse Loves the Cat" and "The Chinese Paladin 1", are also celebrating Du Sheng's popularity.
After all, interests are always closely linked.
Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"I will join the group after the promotion is finished. I will also have to take some time to go to Beijing to see the sales response of the Girls' Generation EP album."
Since the recording and simple MV shooting went smoothly, after a week of online and offline promotion, Girls' Generation's album was officially released three days ago.
It's just that he has been very busy recently, so all the details have been handed over to Star Media and Entertainment Studio to handle.
I only know a rough idea about many things.
Liu Yifei and the other girls have been nagging about this for a long time, so we have to go this time.
