Chapter 356 What do you mean by "matching"? That's called being in love!

Du Sheng looked at the hotel lobby broadcasting the gossip about himself and Niqi, and said calmly:

"What kind of rule is this? I am a public figure.

Niqi wants to use me to create hype, doesn't this require the use of resources and connections?

On the contrary, I didn’t have to pay anything, at least I gained some fame in the Lighthouse Country.”

Du Sheng guessed it last night.

Since the other party wants to hype it up, why doesn't he want to increase his popularity overseas?
That's why there is improvisational "coordination".

It is indeed a win-win situation.

At this moment, the anchor on TV is introducing his identity and background.

Not to mention how much popularity can be gained, at least the reputation value is rising rapidly.

In less than one morning, more than 40,000 were obtained.

Speaking of which, the reason why Nicki chose Du Sheng as the target of hype was that she had a sudden idea after meeting him by chance last night.

With her status, if she wants to become famous in one fell swoop, the best way is of course to hype up the title of socialite first.
After becoming famous, you can then switch to fashion or other industries, and everything will go smoothly.

In addition, Du Sheng is indeed very famous in Asia, and creating a scandal with him can increase her popularity in the Asian market.

Moreover, Du Sheng is the first Chinese world boxing champion. The romance between a Western socialite and an Eastern boxing star is itself quite a hot topic.

As a socialite, you can be eccentric and behave eccentrically, but you must never lack enthusiasm.

Creating controversial topics, frequently exposing love affairs, and participating in popular reality shows are all common practices for socialites.

The most important thing is that Du Sheng is outstanding in all aspects, and Ni Qi is truly attracted to him.

Creating hype and dating, the two are not in conflict!
Nikki deliberately chose a place where there were romantic performances, created a gimmick, and then had people secretly film it, and made it into gossip material to spread outside.

When Du Sheng said he wanted to improvise a song last night, she showed her concerns because she was obviously worried that Du Sheng's performance would not be good and would affect the hype effect she had expected.

But I never expected that the other party's singing of "Just the way you are" would be so effective.

Not only did she get lost in the discussion, but she was also too involved last night and actively waved her tail to beg for forgiveness.

In the end, this rich lady automatically chose three-way development and had to endure the pain of being abused by the fountain.

Du Sheng did forgive her.

What's more, he himself has been involved in countless scandals, and too many lice will not itch.

And this hype did help him open up channels in Hollywood.

The Hilton family has a great influence in the Beacon Country. If Nicki wants to become famous overnight, she must mobilize relevant media resources and all kinds of public opinion hype.

In addition, Du Sheng improvised gimmicks, such as the rich girl crying and kissing, and the scene of falling in love in the hotel...

It can be said to be extremely gossipy and popular.

Therefore, their scandal instantly made headlines on major gossip websites in the Beacon Country.

Discussions on websites such as Google and Campus were extremely heated.

"Fuck! Miss Hilton's daughter actually fell in love with a poor Oriental man? Is God blind?"

"To be honest, this Oriental guy is really handsome. I would have the same idea if I were him."

"If someone sang the song 'Just the way you are' to me in public, I would go crazy!"

"Didn't you notice the infatuated look Niqi gave that Oriental man? She really fell in love with Du!"

"You're right. In the past, celebrities revealed their love affairs to attract attention, but this time, I believe Nikki is serious."

"Who on earth is this Du? He has captured Hilton's daughter right away. I want to become his disciple and learn a few tricks."

“Has the song “Just the way you are” not been released yet? The more I listen to the broken sound quality, the more addictive it becomes!”

As the scandal continued to ferment, more and more people began to pay attention to Du Sheng.

In addition to some boxing fans, many women are attracted by his tall and handsome appearance.

Others became his loyal listeners because of the charm of the song "Just the way you are".

This group of people constituted Du Sheng's first batch of fans in European and American circles.

Sony was keenly aware of Du Sheng's popularity, and the two parties originally had a key cooperation plan.

Including the endorsement of Sony Ericsson mobile phones, and the overseas release of the two albums "Ten Thousand Reasons" and "Girls' Generation".

This time, Du Sheng's love affair with the socialite of the Lighthouse Country attracted widespread attention, and this trend made Sony Records overjoyed.

They quickly contacted Du Sheng and worked together to bring this single to market as soon as possible.

Out of her love for Du Sheng, Niki spared no effort to promote him.
During the interview, she mentioned many times that in addition to being an Asian star, Du Sheng is also the king of fighting.

This aroused the public's curiosity about Du Sheng.

People wanted to see what kind of person captured the heart of the Hilton family heir.

Thanks to this wave of publicity, when Du Sheng released the single "Just the way you are", it sold 60 copies within the next month and ranked among the Billboard Top .

For an Oriental and a new face in the music scene of the beacon country, such an achievement is a miracle.

Gradually, in addition to gossip and scandals, more people began to pay attention to Du Sheng's works.

So much so that many Chinese people began searching for Du Sheng's Chinese album and the several dramas in which he starred.

They even took the initiative to explore his record and achievements in the boxing world.

Once this is understood, the consequences will be disastrous!

As time goes by, Du Sheng's fan base in Europe and the United States has gradually grown.

Although the number is not huge, it has accumulated a certain degree of international recognition.

Although the above is still a matter of the past.

For the time being, Du Sheng could not tell whether Niki’s admiration for him had fully developed that night and was influenced by “Heart to Heart”.

Or is it that Nicki is using this as an excuse to continue hyping the issue for the sake of fame?

But no matter what, this scandal-fueled collaboration is a win-win situation.

Du Sheng not only received high-end services worth thousands of dollars, but also gained fame, which made her feel relaxed and happy. Ni Qi also gained a deeper understanding of her celebrity image due to this successful hype.

Du Sheng was watching the TV playing the clip where Nicki kissed him last night, and he couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart.

He really wanted to go back to the hotel suite and give Nikki another hard time.

But thinking back to how Nikki had collapsed like a limp, almost out of breath, when she left, he suppressed the thought.

It’s just that I was a little drunk last night.

But seeing how obsessed Nikki is with all-round development, there might be a chance next time.

Although he has no plans to work in Hollywood, he is still determined to criticize Hollywood.

"Brother Sheng, the girl named Taylor that you asked me to inquire about left after the shooting that night."

Wang Yaoyang, who had gone out with his translator to inquire about the situation yesterday, sat down and said:

"It should be back to the country music mecca 'Nashville', where she is studying."

Du Sheng ordered them a breakfast and thought for a moment before saying:

"Has Taylor signed with the new company?"

"She should have signed with something called 'Big Machine Records'. She is the first singer to be signed in advance."

These things were not difficult to find out. Wang Yaoyang walked around the music festival and found out by giving the receptionist some money.

Du Sheng was not surprised by this.

Although Taylor has signed the contract, he is currently performing at the Bluebird Cafe, a gathering place for composers, and it is clear that he has not yet achieved success.

Before she officially releases the single, Du Sheng still has a chance to get involved.

But this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and he can't spare the time to make a special trip for the time being.

Because I have to discuss the follow-up of "Wanted" with Timo in the afternoon, and then I have to rush back to Las Vegas to meet Don King.

Anika has just said that Don King will be back in the evening and will take him to meet UFC President Dana White.

So even if you have an idea, you can only postpone it.

"Ah Sheng, I heard that you were hanging out with Hilton's daughter last night. Is that true?"

After chatting for a while, Wang Yaoyang suddenly couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"What do you mean by matching? That's called being in love, okay?"

Du Sheng's words were righteous and he had to make corrections.

After all, Niqi was exhausted from trying to please him last night, so he had to defend her.

"I also want a rich lady to pick me up, no, I want a lady who is compatible with me! Does Brother Sheng have any help?"

Wang Yaoyang scratched his head and said eagerly.

"Practice your English first, then pack your things."

Du Sheng glanced at him and said:
"Perhaps those female designers with distorted aesthetic tastes in the North American fashion industry will fall in love with you."

Wang Yaoyang curled his lips, knowing that this guy didn't say anything wishing him well.

He was too lazy to care about this and asked curiously:
"Were there many Chinese actors and actresses at Director Li's banquet last night? Reports said that quite a few Hollywood celebrities attended."

Du Sheng took a sip of tea and said casually:
"There are quite a few Hollywood people, but I can't recognize them..."

"Hearing what you said, Director Li An is indeed quite famous.

Celebrities, directors, producers and senior executives from all walks of life came to support him!
However, the situation of other Chinese actors is really miserable. I heard that it is difficult to make it in Hollywood, but I didn’t expect that even Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh would have such a hard time.”

Wang Yaoyang said with emotion.

Since the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, these two have become top actors in the Asian film industry.
But when I got here, I still had to face all kinds of criticism.

After Zhou Runfa's "Bulletproof Monk" flopped, no one was interested in it.

"This is foreign territory. It's not easy to make a living in a foreign country."

Du Sheng also shook his head.

The number of Chinese actors who have achieved success in Hollywood can be counted on one’s fingers.

Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, etc.

Not to mention how these people are doing now.

The reason why they were able to open the country's doors was because of kung fu films and their derivative martial arts films and gun battle films.

If you look carefully, you will find that except Chow Yun-fat, all the others are from a martial arts background!

Including Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi, they also became famous for their image as female fighters.

There is no doubt that if he breaks into Hollywood in the future, the most suitable genre for him will still be action movies.

Unfortunately, Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s box office performances failed year after year, and their influence became increasingly low, resulting in a gap in their productions with no one to succeed them.

This is also a heavy blow to Chinese artists.

Not to mention the loss of confidence and support, the path forward was also blocked.

Now that the West has gotten over its novelty of seeing Chinese performances, it has become significantly more difficult for them to break through.

If Du Sheng wants to go the route of action movies, in addition to a more concise, realistic, rough, and hard-hitting style, he has to find another way.

He already has a preliminary idea in mind, but it is not yet possible to implement it.

Of course, the film "Wanted" allowed him to see another possibility of success.

Although the risk is high, you will never make it in a place like Hollywood without a breakthrough.

It all depends on how the discussion goes this afternoon.

I hope those two will step in.
