Chapter 397 You are not worthy of fighting with me, get out!
After recording the song, Zhou Huimin happily took Du Sheng back to their accommodation.

The song "Baby" seemed to have some kind of magic that made her particularly enthusiastic.

This special private performance that night lasted almost an hour.

Du Sheng didn't sweat much, but Zhou Huimin was already sweating profusely.

"Ah Sheng, you are really amazing, you are a monster in every aspect!"

Zhou Huimin didn't even open her eyes, she just lay in the man's arms in a daze.

Her lazy look revealed a bit of fragility, which made Du Sheng's heart warm.

He gently lifted the quilt, carried the pig-like beauty into the bathroom, and helped her wash her body.

As the warm water flowed over her skin, Zhou Huimin finally regained some energy.

Du Sheng hugged her and whispered in her ear:
"Weren't you impatient just now? Are you tired already?"

Zhou Huimin seemed to have misunderstood his intentions and blushed:
"No, no, it's not possible. Just now was just now and now is now!"

"Then why were you so proactive before?"

Du Sheng laughed.

I gently helped her dry her body and gave her a eucalyptus massage to relax her muscles and promote blood circulation.

Unexpectedly, this action made Zhou Huimin's fair neck turn red.

"Ah Sheng, don't! Don't press..."

She now has no resistance to Du Sheng and is completely immersed in him.

Although Du Sheng was somewhat addicted, he didn't force it.

The charm that this girl exudes is more than just wonderful!
Du Sheng originally planned to take Zhou Huimin to watch the UFC match the day after tomorrow.

But early in the morning, Chen Xueying called and said that Zhou's mother suddenly had a fever and was hospitalized, and her condition was not very good.

Although Zhou Huimin was a little reluctant, she had to go back early because her mother was old and had a daughter.

Seeing that she was in good condition and had escaped from the emotional whirlpool, Du Sheng did not insist.

.........

The afternoon sun shone on the lawn outside Big Machine Records, and the air was filled with a faint scent of grass.

Taylor was wearing a white jacket and light blue jeans. She was sitting in a corner of the hall, looking youthful and beautiful.

She held the lyrics book in her hand and hummed the new song "Tim McGraw".

But her eyes kept looking towards the door from time to time, feeling both expectant and nervous.

At this time, the door was slowly pushed open, and a familiar figure came into view.

When she saw Du Sheng appear, a bright smile instantly broke out on her face, with a hint of barely perceptible anticipation in her smile.

"Brother Sheng, you're here!"

Taylor's voice is as clear as a bell.

The moment Du Sheng saw Taylor, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes:
"Of course, how could I forget what I promised you."

Taylor lowered his head slightly, bit his lips lightly, and whispered:

"I was really worried that the first single 'Tim McGraw' would not make any waves after it was released."

No matter how confident she is, she is still less than 15 years old and it is her first time releasing a song. It would be a lie to say that she is not nervous at all.

Du Sheng approached, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Sony will provide certain resources, and I will also pay to contact several radio stations for promotion. It will definitely be good."

Speaking of this, he also joked:
"Who knows, your single might even be able to dethrone my song and top the Billboard charts."

Although Taylor knew that he was mostly comforting, he still had some self-awareness and shook his head and chuckled:

"I'll be happy if I can get into the top 100, but I don't dare to hope to be the top."

At this time, she was not as confident and powerful as she would be in later generations.

"That's not necessarily the case. Let's wait and see."

Du Sheng searched his mind as he led her to the office.

This song has no help, but it could have made it into the top 30 of the Billboard in its previous life.

With his and Sony's resources here, it's unlikely to be any worse.

After saying hello to Scott Borchetta, the shooting started.

Following the director's command, the two began to get into the mood.

They walked through a golden wheat field, surrounded by tree-lined paths and hills in the distance.

The sun is shining, the breeze is not dry, and everything seems so beautiful.

Du Sheng and Taylor walked hand in hand in the golden wheat field. The breeze blew and the wheat waves swayed gently.

Taylor's skirt fluttered in the wind, and she turned her head from time to time to look at Du Sheng. Whenever their eyes met, she would show a hint of sweetness and excitement.

Du Sheng noticed that Taylor was in a good mood and teased her deliberately:

"Taylor, you can't shoot the fresh, rustic country style that we want for the MV."

Taylor looked up at him instead, smiling with bright eyes:

"What should I do?"

Although she said this, she quietly moved closer to Du Sheng, and their hands held tighter.

When they arrived at a small cabin, Du Sheng picked a wild flower, gently pinned it in Taylor's hair, and said with a smile:
"Fresh and simple, that's about it."

Taylor had long forgotten that he was being filmed and had a happy smile on his face.

At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world was left with only the two of them. All of this was captured keenly by the photographer, becoming one of the most heartwarming scenes in the MV.

As the sun sets, the sky is gradually dyed with the color of sunset, and the shooting is coming to an end.

Taylor and Du Sheng sat side by side on the grass by the lake, gazing at the sunset in the distance, their hearts filled with indescribable satisfaction.

.........

In order to participate in the competition and finish the MV shooting matters, Du Sheng rushed to Las Vegas that day.

Don King is indeed a man of action. During this period of time, he has arranged everything including venues, warm-up matches, endorsements, receptions, etc.

This time, Du Sheng and Chuck Liddell will compete at the arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas.

This place covers tens of thousands of square meters and can accommodate 12000 people.

Don’t be fooled by the small number of people. In order to provide the audience with a live experience, most UFC qualifying matches in North America have a venue size of only about 3,000 people.

Even the most popular championship matches are held in venues with a capacity of about 2 people.

In addition, UFC has invested heavily in this match.

The two-day use rights of Mandalay Arena were booked.

In addition to negotiating live TV broadcasts with Spike TV, White has also signed satellite on-demand services with pay-TV providers such as In Demand, DirecTV, and Dish Network.

Although UFC is not as popular as boxing in North America, this match has long been hyped up.

The gimmick of the K1 Fighting King VS the former UFC middleweight champion is still very exciting.

The UFC organizers and the two promotion companies discussed and decided to jointly hold a pre-match weigh-in conference to continue to heat up the atmosphere.

By the way, let the tension between Du Sheng and the "Iceman" grow stronger.

"Is there any media interview tonight? What are the arrangements for Don King?"

After getting on the plane, Du Sheng turned to look at Wang Yaoyang and asked.

"Yes, he asked you to accept media interviews at 7 o'clock in the evening, and there will also be a signing ceremony sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce..."

Wang Yaoyang took out a notebook and spoke seriously.

There was an opportunity to make a fortune this time, so Zhang Haolong also came along and said with a smile:
"The NBA Heat didn't have any games these past two days, and I heard that the domestic media that had been waiting for Yao Ming have all found time to come over."

Although Du Sheng was a little surprised, he was not surprised.

There may still be some controversy as to who is the most popular Chinese star in the world right now.

But when it comes to the most popular Chinese sports star in the world, it is naturally Yao Ming, who became the No. 2002 pick in the NBA draft in .

Especially after he was selected into the NBA All-Star team last year, dozens of domestic media came to the Beacon Country to report on every game.

This is the first time that K1 world boxing champion Du Sheng will fight in North America. Even though his popularity is not as high as Yao Ming's, it will definitely attract a lot of follow-up reports from Chinese media.

Wang Yaoyang handed over a local newspaper:
"Chuck Liddell has been restless recently, saying in the media that the yellow-skinned monkey is not worthy of fighting in North America, and he vowed to make you lose your hands and feet and get out of here."

Everyone turned their heads and were speechless.

The newspaper recorded an interview with Chuck Liddell in which he talked about being forced to accept the championship challenge.

What he meant was that he felt the organizers were making a big deal out of nothing, which insulted him physically and mentally.

This chain of contempt has really been escalated to the extreme.

Not surprisingly, this involves racial discrimination.

This situation is very common in the boxing circle.

Because in the past decade, except for the boxing champion in Luzon, almost no yellow people have been able to gain a foothold in the North American boxing world, which gives them a sense of superiority.

In response to this, Du Sheng was not angry, but instead a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"It's quite interesting. This should go viral."

The war of words before the match is considered a unique publicity strategy in the fighting circle.

Maybe this was deliberately planned by the organizer.

In this way, the confrontation between the two sides not only heated up the event, but also invisibly increased the exposure of the event.

As a UFC superstar, Chuck Liddell can always attract an unprecedented wave of onlookers no matter who he fights against.

In a way, this is a good thing for Du Sheng.

His contract with UFC is based on profit-sharing, and how much he earns is entirely up to him.

His previous anti-China rhetoric and this war of words undoubtedly brought in more audiences and box office guarantees.

In fact, as soon as the relevant reports came out, they immediately triggered a wave of heated discussions in North America.

Many boxing fans expressed their desire to buy tickets to enter the venue and see with their own eyes how this arrogant yellow pig was torn apart and trampled by "Iceman" Chuck Liddell.

Some Chinese living in the beacon country also became interested in going in and taking a look after noticing the relevant reports.

After all, it is extremely rare for a Chinese boxer to make it into the top ten in the UFC world rankings.

Putting aside racial issues, this is indeed a situation where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Not to mention the reputation gained, this heated discussion has invisibly increased the attention to the competition.

Just like celebrities in the entertainment industry, they are always at the center of controversy, even if these discussions are mixed with criticism and questioning.

There is an old saying that goes, controversy brings heat, and the worst thing is having nowhere to pitch in.

However, controversy alone is not enough.

In the face of various doubts and challenges, Du Sheng needs to win more support from his compatriots.

This is not only to expand one's own influence, but also to ensure the smooth progress of the competition and personal economic interests.
