Chapter 388: Crossing the Line! [One more chapter]

"Wow, Du Sheng's Li Xiaoyao is so handsome!"

"I have to say, this is the best opening drama of the Spring Festival this year!"

"Liu Yifei's look is so beautiful. Her every frown and smile can make people feel Zhao Linger's innocence and romance."

"Surprised! Lin Yueru is played by Yang Mi? Her acting skills have improved so much.

That arrogant and willful expression made me feel like the character in the game came alive!"

"Brother Sheng's acting is really good, especially his interactions with the female supporting actors, which are humorous and warm. Watching them makes me want to fall in love."

“Although I am a fan of the original novel, the TV adaptation is still very exciting and exceeded my expectations in many aspects.”

"It's worthy of being an 8 million production! The special effects in the drama are very well done, especially the battle scenes, which look very shocking."

"Excuse me, does anyone have a high-definition picture of Du Sheng in a white robe with long hair? I want to use it as wallpaper for my phone and computer. Waiting online!!"

“The music and the plot are perfectly integrated, especially the background music at some key moments, which is really exciting.”

Not only Tieba, other forums are also very lively.

New posts about this drama are popping up one after another.

Netizens discussed the issue from different angles.

Some emphasized praising the high level of production of the series, while others focused on the performance of the characters and personal preferences.

Du Sheng also took the time to browse some online feedback.

He originally thought that just a few episodes might not cause much of a stir.
But unexpectedly, a large number of posts about the character of Li Xiaoyao in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" appeared online.

What’s even more surprising is that because his character Li Xiaoyao in “The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1” was so handsome, it actually reignited the discussion on the “Four Beauties of Tianya” on the Tianya Forum!

What are the “Four Beauties of the World”?
Du Sheng remembered that these were the four super handsome men in ancient costumes selected by the entertainment gossip section of Tianya Forum in 2011 after a long period of controversy.

Every role has captivated countless audiences.

His previous role as Sai Hua Tuo in "The Dragon Goddess" was also mentioned.

However, such debates usually do not lead to a conclusion.

After all, everyone has different standards in their hearts, and it often takes a long process to gain the recognition of the majority of people.

Du Sheng smiled slightly. What he was most concerned about now was the ratings of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

“Guess what the ratings for the latest episode were?”

Ye Jingzhi winked at Du Sheng.

Du Sheng immediately realized that the subsequent ratings of this drama should be good.

He recalled the ratings of the drama in his previous life and said with a smile:
“Is it over 10?”

"You already know?"

Ye Jingzhi seemed a little surprised.

Du Sheng smiled. In the previous life, the average viewership of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" on E-TV reached 11.8%.

Today's result of 10 is not amazing, but it is also gratifying enough.

“It’s close to 11%!”

Ye Jingzhi's face was filled with joy:

"Such an achievement could definitely be called the hit of the year if it were on a local TV station!

Coupled with the extremely high reviews of the drama online, the ratings should increase further.

Now eight TV stations are actively vying for the second-round broadcast rights, and the future of this drama is bright.”

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:

"Has there been any reaction from the government? For example, a ban on game adaptations?"

The only thing he was worried about now was the arrival of the 'River Crab Beast' like in his previous life.

However, some situations cannot be generalized.

I heard that the reason why there was such a big fuss in the previous life was that a certain department of Yangshi wanted to intercept.

The production here started much earlier, and there was in-depth cooperation with Pearl River TV, so it should have avoided many pitfalls.

"I have been paying attention to it, and there are no rumors in this regard for the time being."

Although Ye Jingzhi was curious about Du Sheng's concerns, she did not ask too much, but quietly asked her family to find out.

"On the contrary, Yangshi also contacted me and seemed to be interested in purchasing this drama for a second broadcast."

Du Sheng was startled and said:
"Is there such a thing?"

This was completely beyond his expectation.

In other words, if this is true, then my worries would be unnecessary.

Ye Jingzhi smiled elegantly and explained:
"I'm not lying to you. Director Dou plans to send someone to negotiate after the New Year..."

After her explanation, Du Sheng finally understood.

It is indeed possible that Yangshi purchases popular TV series from local TV stations for rebroadcast.

This usually happens for several reasons.

First, if a TV series receives extremely high ratings and good reputation when broadcast on local TV stations, Yangshi may consider introducing it to meet the needs of more viewers.

Second, if a TV series is of high quality and can reflect certain cultural values ​​and social significance, Yangshi may think it is worth promoting to a wider audience.

Third, Yangshi sometimes chooses to purchase successful works from some local stations to fill the gaps in certain time periods based on its own program scheduling needs.

Fourth, in order to increase ratings or compete with competitors, Yangshi may choose to rebroadcast some TV series that were once very popular to attract the audience's attention.

For example, last year, Yangshi rebroadcast "The Secret History of Kangxi".

This TV series has been broadcast on local TV stations before, but considering its good reputation and ratings performance, Yangshi purchased the subsequent broadcast rights.

“This is really good news!”

Du Sheng crushed the worry in his heart, smiled and hugged the woman into his arms:
"Then "Chinese Paladin 3" can be put on the preparation list for next year, and even the peripheral products can be put on the list..."

Although Ye Jingzhi's face was red, she still maintained her elegance and held his big hand, saying:

"Don't mess around! I still have to negotiate with the endorsement company later."

After Du Sheng finished his hand craving, he smiled and said:

"After you deal with this, forget about it for now and go back to spend time with your family."

It's the New Year, and it's not easy for this woman to still be busy.

Ye Jingzhi hesitated for a moment and said:
"My mother wants to meet you. Can you come and have dinner on the second day of the New Year?"

Actually, she didn't want to mention it, but recently her mother had been trying to match her up with a young man from a wealthy family.

There was no other choice but to pull Du Sheng out to act as a shield.

Du Sheng guessed what was going on and smiled in understanding:
"No problem. I'm going to Hong Kong then, so it's just on my way."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and lay in the man's arms with peace of mind.

I have to say that this man is very responsible in some ways.

At least he really gets things done when something happens.

At noon that day, Du Sheng drove Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei to the airport.

They are preparing to return to their hometown to celebrate the festival.

"Be careful and don't go to dangerous places..."

During the Spring Festival, many people return to their hometowns to reunite with their families.

This includes assistants and security.

Hearing Du Sheng's kind reminder, Liu Yifei smiled and made a crane step:

"Cousin, don't worry, the Crane Fist you taught us is not just for show."

Du Sheng shook his head speechlessly and said:

"Your kung fu is so mediocre that you haven't even learned the breathing techniques of the Crane Fist, so don't try to show off."

Liu Yifei snorted and pouted:

"Just wait and see, we, Girls' Generation, will definitely master the Crane Fist and defeat you, so that you will never dare to underestimate us again!" They came up with the idea of ​​learning the Crane Fist after seeing Du Sheng's beautiful posture at the charity performance.

After all, this is a style of boxing created by women and is suitable for them.

But I am just a beginner now, and I don’t know whether I will still be interested in it in the future.

Seeing that Du Sheng wanted to complain again, Liu Xiaoli smiled and said:
"It's not the first time we go back, don't worry."

Not to mention the care of her relatives in her hometown, her physical fitness is getting better and better.

Moreover, unlike a few girls who were just playing around, she was seriously learning the Crane Fist and had no problem dealing with one or two idle guys.

Du Sheng smiled and said nothing more, hugging the two of them and saying goodbye.

Afterwards, he made another detour and had a special gathering with Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen who stayed in Beijing for the New Year.

While watching the Spring Festival Gala, they followed along on the spot and participated in a high-level singing competition.

However, they all had family and friends gatherings, so they didn't stay for long.

The next day, Du Sheng went to his adoptive father's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Chen Haifang, holding her daughter, was very enthusiastic when she saw Du Sheng.

As the crew's life producer, she is divorced and has a child. She officially established a relationship with Huang Deli half a year ago.

Although Du Sheng had some influence on this, she chose Huang Deli completely out of sincerity.

When Chen Haifang received the gift brought by Du Sheng, she said happily:

"It's good that you're here. No need to bring gifts."

Du Sheng made a few polite remarks and said some words of blessing.

"Brother, hug me!~"

Yaya was able to speak already, and when she saw Du Sheng she stretched out her clean little white hand.

"Yaya, be good, if you are, you will have a new dress to wear."

Du Sheng smiled, picked up the little girl and gently pinched her nose.

When Huang Deli saw Du Sheng, he said with a smile:

"Ah Sheng, this year has just begun and you have already won a prize. This is a good thing."

"What kind of lottery?"

Du Sheng knew that older people were more or less superstitious.

"The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala."

Huang Deli asked him to sit down and said:

"Last night, the ratings for every segment where you sang were generally good, with the highest reaching 32.3%, which is the best result of the same period."

The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in this era are already very high, and Du Sheng's participation has raised this level even further.

Du Sheng just smiled modestly:

"Maybe I caught the right timing, the audience just happened to be free when it was broadcast."

Huang Deli smiled and waved his hand:

"When you are at your level, there is no need to be low-key and humble. What is yours is yours."

Du Sheng took a sip of tea and said leisurely:

"It's better to keep a low profile. In front of the real big guys, my achievements are not enough."

Huang Deli laughed in silence, patted Du Sheng's shoulder gently, and sighed:

"If this isn't good enough for you, do those people who are not on the 18th line still want to live?"

He did not mention the hard times on the set and changed the subject:

"Liu Xiaoli and her daughter went home for the New Year, right? Are Liu Shishi and Yang Mi still at the villa?
Why didn't you bring them here to wish me a happy new year?"

"You think too much. They can't sit still and have to go home for the New Year."

"Yes, they are still young."

Huang Deli didn't know what he was thinking about, and said with a smile:

"I think Ye Jingzhi is pretty good, with a first-rate appearance and background. When will you bring her over to visit?"

Du Sheng: “…”

"Master, I just turned 18 and less than 24 months old. There is no rush for this kind of thing, okay?"

Huang Deli coughed lightly and said with a smile:
"It's better to be prepared than to be unaware.

You are surrounded by beautiful women, I am afraid you will be dazzled, I am just reminding you. "

Du Sheng chuckled and responded:

"How can it be dazzling? This is the mood of life."

Huang Deli sighed and said earnestly:
"If we can have all of them and still live in peace, that would be great!
But often things don’t go as planned, so you have to find the right balance yourself.”

Du Sheng understood Huang Deli's concerns, but he had some special skills, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Besides, there are only so many joys in life, and having a beautiful woman by your side makes your time in the entertainment industry worthwhile.

Du Sheng changed the subject, glanced at Chen Haifang in the kitchen, and asked:
"How are you going to arrange this?"

Huang Deli knew what the other party wanted to say. He was silent for a moment and said:
"I haven't made up my mind yet, but Haifang is a good person, kind-hearted, hardworking and capable."

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"Aunt Haifang must be pregnant. You can't hide this kind of thing from others."

Huang Deli nodded:
"I didn't have the ability before, and I didn't want to cause trouble for others. Now that I have the intention, I have to leave a descendant for the Huang family."

If it were in the past, he would have fed the whole family without worries and would have given up the idea.

Now, thanks to Du Sheng, his life has undergone tremendous changes, the outside world's attitude towards him has greatly changed, and his mentality has also changed accordingly.

It was precisely because of this concern that he chose to celebrate the New Year in Beijing this year.

After enjoying a delicious meal at Huang Deli's house, Du Sheng drove back to the villa.

Liu Shishi had not left yet and was packing her luggage.

Du Sheng looked at her strangely and asked:

"Shi Shi, are you planning to stay here for the New Year? Or should I send you off?"

Seeing Du Sheng coming back, Liu Shishi put down her luggage and smiled happily:
"My home is not far from here, there's no need to rush.

Sister Mi was taken back by her mother, and she told you to remember to visit her when you have time."

In fact, she had already gone home yesterday. It was only a few kilometers away from here, so it was very convenient to travel back and forth.

Du Sheng smiled and nodded, asked a few questions, and then said:
"Since you're bored at home, let's go out for a walk and buy some New Year's goods."

Liu Shishi was a little shy, but couldn't help but nodded.

Although she has always given people the image of being indifferent and non-competitive, a girl's feelings are always poetic and she also has aspirations.

Seeing Liu Shishi's well-behaved and shy appearance, Du Sheng smiled, reached out his hand, and gently helped her tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind.

Although there were no more intimate actions, it was enough to make Liu Shishi feel sweet and full of joy.

Du Sheng joked:
"There are only two of us at home now. If you don't come home during the New Year, I can't guarantee what I will do next."

Although Liu Shishi could hear the teasing, she was still a little shy:
"Brother Sheng, I can get to where I am today thanks to your help.

Whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you."

Du Sheng: “…”

This girl is really good at hiding things!
However, abiding by the law has always been his principle and he will not cross the line.

At least, it cannot be done in the country.

He had no choice but to hug the girl and caress her affectionately.
