Chapter 321 What is real ability!
Cao Zhenglin felt excited.

Now that she has become Mercedes-Benz's first choice artist, doesn't this mean that ELLE's vision is on the same level as Mercedes-Benz?
Even other artists at the scene felt that Du Sheng was being shrewd when they saw him being interviewed calmly and eloquently on the stage.

"Manager Ye, are you free later?"

"Mr. Ye, does Du Sheng have any schedule next month?"

"Hello, I'm the general manager of Gree, I think Du Sheng is very suitable..."

Ye Jingzhi had unknowingly become a hot commodity, with many corporate representatives greeting her.

Even some senior people in the circle handed over their cards at this moment.

With the reversal of becoming the Mercedes-Benz Asia Pacific Ambassador, Du Sheng's fame in the circle will only rise.

"No problem, I'll contact you when I'm free."

Ye Jingzhi maintained her elegance and responded with a smile.

Come to think of it, she was quite satisfied with the event she planned.

When the mastermind behind the scenes launched various attacks and discredited Du Sheng, he teamed up with Mercedes-Benz to launch a counterattack.

Next, there may even be a chance to leverage this popularity to attract several high-end international brands to collaborate with Du Sheng.

Ordinary people may just watch these for fun, but the impact within the circle is extremely far-reaching.

Because this is a subtle recognition of one’s promotion in status!
For example, after tonight, if someone says that Du Sheng is as good as the Four Heavenly Kings in all aspects, how many people do you think will refute it?

Shortly after the event ended, the news that Du Sheng became Mercedes-Benz's "image ambassador" spread quickly, triggering another hot search feast.

[The three-pointed star shines because of him! Mercedes-Benz enters a new era, and the King of Fighters endorsement opens a new chapter of luxury! 】

[When Du Sheng meets Mercedes-Benz, every luxury car becomes a walking art! ]

[This is not only a collision of speed and passion, but also a perfect fusion of kingly style and noble temperament]

The fermentation of public opinion is not limited to the automotive, fashion and entertainment circles.

On the Internet, the post I Love Beach published on my blog that implicitly mocked Du Sheng went viral in a short period of time.
In addition to Du Sheng’s loyal fans, there were also many onlookers!
"Dude, does your face hurt?"

"Didn't you say before that Brother Sheng's endorsement price was high and his behavior was ugly, and that he would never have international endorsements? You are just saying the opposite."

"I love watching this kind of face-slapping. Is there a reversal?"

"'I love the beach', stop playing dead and come out for a walk?"

"Du Sheng won the Mercedes-Benz endorsement this time. I guess many people in the circle are embarrassed."

"Tsk tsk, who said before that Brother Sheng was crushed by Su Youpeng in every aspect? The contrast is really strong!"

"Du Sheng has been criticized recently, but Mercedes-Benz immediately held a press conference for him. I have to say that they showed their full support."

"..."

When this post was forwarded to Tieba and Tianya, I Love the Beach deleted it instantly and even did not allow comments.

After this wave of chaos, this account is considered useless.

The happiest people in reality are naturally Du Sheng’s fans.

They had been criticized in various ways before, and were compared and smeared by the Four Heavenly Kings. They were already full of anger.

After Du Sheng won the championship and joined the group, there were fewer positive reports about him, and he was often framed by others.

Now that there is such a wave of good news, fans must of course be very proud!
If 'I Love the Beach' hadn't run away quickly, I'm afraid they would have had to track down the source and curse it.

Companies like Huayi and Rongxinda, which had experienced this before, knew that they would most likely be attacked, so they closed their doors early on.

Su Youpeng's fans knew they were in the wrong and stopped their actions.

Du Sheng’s fans did not pursue him relentlessly and just celebrated on their own.

After a while, the fans on both sides calmed down naturally.

But for some reason, fans of both sides suddenly started arguing again not long after, and the quarrel seemed to be spreading rapidly.

"I looked into it."

When Du Sheng noticed this unusual phenomenon, Ye Jingzhi had already asked Yang Siwei to investigate, with a playful look on her face:

“Someone is behind the scenes manipulating the troll army and trying to incite emotions, and the fan base is often the most susceptible.

In addition, there has been an ongoing competition between us and Su Youpeng, which makes things even more complicated and difficult to stop.

If this continues, it will be of no benefit to either side."

"Navy army?"

Du Sheng smiled:
"Didn't I say before that 'I Love the Beach' has something to do with Huayi?
Huayi's actions may not necessarily be beneficial to Su Youpeng, right?"

"You forgot, there is also Zhang Ziyi."

Ye Jingzhi slowly said the name:

"At the last Mercedes-Benz press conference, someone secretly revealed that 'I Love the Beach' had some connections with Zhang Ziyi's brother."

Zhang Ziyi!
Du Sheng recalled the unpleasantness that occurred during the charity donation for "A World Away" and shook his head slightly.

I didn't expect this woman to be so petty.

He has been planning revenge for so long.

It really proves the saying that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

"The public opinion department of Yang Siwei has started to take action, and I believe it will be effective soon."

Ye Jingzhi smiled and said:
"In addition, Zhang Ziyi is an international celebrity, but she resorted to such dishonorable means, which shows that she has not been having an easy time recently.

It is said that many celebrities have openly opposed her recently, and your rumored girlfriends are representative of them. "

Zhang Baizhi, Fan Bingbing, Lin Zhiling, Jia Jingwen, and who else.

Even the Metropolitan Entertainment News secretly revealed that Zhang Ziyi hooked up with the son of the Hong Kong Huo family because she used despicable means...

Du Sheng: “…”

He really doesn't know these things.

I have never instructed a woman to do so.

Now it sounds like a gang fight... No wonder Zhang Ziyi feels uncomfortable filming in Hong Kong, this has stirred up a hornet's nest.

Ye Jingzhi also made a rough guess and continued with a smile:
"Zhang Baizhi and others recently publicly stated that they would never perform on the same stage with Zhang Ziyi.

All of your rumored girlfriends are very popular now, and are basically involved in many large-scale events in the country.

Their collective boycott has brought about a profound herd mentality.

No matter how big of a star Zhang Ziyi is, she can't get angry, so she can only come at you secretly."

"In addition, because Zhang Baizhi is the darling of Oriental Star Entertainment and has the support of the Hong Kong circle behind her, Zhang Ziyi has a hard time there. It is said that she is about to become the second female lead in "2046"..."

Du Sheng's mouth twitched.

I didn't expect that while I was just studying at Wu Kelan, there was such a turmoil outside.

Speaking of which, although Zhang Ziyi is known as the International Zhang, she has no connections in Hollywood, and her foundation still relies on the Northwest circle, Hong Kong circle and Huayi.

Now that this has happened, are you afraid that you have too much blood?

Although he was a little speechless, he definitely stood on the side of his woman in the end.

As the saying goes, "gossip can melt metal, and constant criticism can destroy a person."

If things continue to develop like this and the young master of the Huo family does not show up, even if Zhang Ziyi's popularity does not decline, I'm afraid her advertising endorsements will drop a lot.

Ye Jingzhi said:
“I have discussed this with Sister Hua, and in order to avoid being accused of being aggressive, let’s communicate first.

If the other party does not apologize publicly, then they will suffer the consequences. "

Du Sheng was filled with emotion and had nothing to say.

The competition among female artists is indeed much more intense than that among male artists.

In fact, even if they didn't come forward, Zhang Ziyi's popularity would plummet to the bottom due to the "ink-throwing incident" and "beach incident".
He also offended the business woman Wendi Deng and even lost the few resources he had in Hollywood.

"You guys can do whatever you want, just don't let the spectators get too full."

With the public opinion department around, Du Sheng was too lazy to pay too much attention.

In addition to continuing to film "House of Flying Daggers", he will also have to take time out to visit the country of lighthouses and attend the 40th Golden Horse Awards in Bay City.

But I don't have so much free time to spend on such trivial matters.

Du Sheng returned to the crew, with his first stop being the Tea Mountain and Bamboo Sea National Forest Park in the mountain city.

The reason why we came here to shoot is all because of Zhang Yimou's extreme pursuit of details and his continuation of the market pulse.

After all, this movie is going to be released in many countries.

When Zhang Yimou was conceiving the work, he also took into account the aesthetic preferences of Western audiences.

Because the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won an honor in Hollywood, it also left a deep impression of the Oriental Bamboo Sea in the hearts of the audience in the Lighthouse Country.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou decided to incorporate the bamboo sea element again in his new film.

In order to evoke emotional resonance among the audience.

In the process of drawing the storyboard script, he carefully designed a fight scene in which a master of the Flying Knife Sect used a bamboo pole to attack the little sister and Captain Du.

After reviewing the video, action director Du Sheng pointed out the inappropriate parts with a smile.

Obviously, Zhang Yimou was not an expert in martial arts and knew little about the use of hidden weapons.

Du Sheng felt that his ideas were more based on personal conjecture and lacked practical basis.

Just imagine, in a bamboo forest full of shelters, who would be stupid enough to throw long bamboo poles as hidden weapons?

Isn’t this a waste of the natural geographical advantages?

Moreover, bamboo has been an excellent weapon material since ancient times.

In ancient wars, people often processed bamboo into various life-and-death fighting weapons, with very significant effects.

Since the Feidao Sect is known to be masters of hidden weapons, how could they ignore the possibility of using bamboo to set traps and bait?
Based on this, Du Sheng re-conceived the plot.

It is proposed to use local materials, use bamboo to build an ambush, and create the Zhuge Crossbow device.

The ambushers do not need to show up, and the powerful ten-arrow crossbow can be launched just by relying on the elasticity of the bamboo pole.

Create an overwhelming and shocking bamboo forest battle.

Ensure the scene is grand.

At first, Zhang Yimou was a little dissatisfied with Du Sheng's complete overturning of his design.

But when he witnessed with his own eyes the crossbow device set up by Du Sheng, his doubts disappeared.

However, new concerns soon emerged:

"This set of Zhuge Crossbows is extremely powerful. Will you and Bai Zhi encounter any accidents during the actual filming?"

Du Sheng smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"These crossbows made of soft bamboo that has not been fully dried actually have limited power.
The bamboo arrows can only fly a short distance and must be fixed with ropes to keep them straight..."

As long as the wire team follows the procedures and rhythm he set in advance step by step, safety will be fully guaranteed.

Out of consideration for Zhang Baizhi's safety, Du Sheng personally led her and the wire team to conduct a one-day rehearsal in the crossbow formation.

After everyone is familiar with the operating procedures, we will officially start shooting.

On the eve of the shooting, Zhang Yimou still couldn't avoid anxiety.

In order to deal with any emergency that might occur, he even arranged for doctors and ambulances in advance.
So that if an accident occurs, rescue can be carried out quickly.

"Du Sheng, do you have any idea?"

Even though Zhang Yimou was experienced, he still couldn't help but say:
"If we are not sure, we can rely on special effects.

It's just a matter of increasing the budget, so there's no need to take such a big risk."

"Don't worry, I won't joke with myself."

Du Sheng smiled faintly and said:

"If we use special effects, our foreign counterparts can do it, so why do audiences have to wait and see our films? How can this film earn back hundreds of millions of dollars?"

"The reason why our Chinese-language films can gain a place in the international arena is because of our real skills that foreigners cannot achieve!"
