Chapter 4 Hengdian Scam!

According to my memory, this year should have been shortly after the millennium.

But some things that happened in reality made Du Sheng a little confused.

At this time in the previous life, the East had not yet fully integrated with the world.

However, there is a slight change here.

Du Sheng shook his head slightly and put away his little thoughts:
“Thinking about getting rich overnight by speculating in cryptocurrencies seems a bit too much.”

He just took out his cell phone and wanted to check out some entertainment-related information when a message popped up.

Zheng Ziyan sent a smiley face on QQ:
"Metropolitan Entertainment Newspaper's social section, don't say I don't take care of you! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ"

Seeing the other person's somewhat arrogant expression, Du Sheng couldn't help but think of a pure and pretty face.

He guessed that it was related to yesterday's scandal and clicked to open the website.

[Undercover investigation of the Hengdian scam: The black-hearted crew pretended to be making a movie, but it was actually a trap for erotic films! ]

As expected, the title is shocking.

Although this little witch is not very reliable, she is still very active.

He actually worked on the article overnight and got it green-lighted for publication.

From this we can also see that the other party is not an ordinary intern editor and should have an impressive background.

The main theme of her article is to reflect on some small crews with evil intentions, who lure artists into shooting erotic films by promising huge profits.

It mentioned the gray industry chain in the circle, but the main perspective revolved around her and Du Sheng's investigations...

Du Sheng felt somewhat ashamed when he saw the article went to great lengths to praise himself.

It is true that the other party is investigating openly and secretly, and he also volunteered to join the game at the risk of his life.

At that time, the black-hearted boss of the crew fell in love with the pure and beautiful Zheng Ziyan at first sight, and couldn't wait to pull her into the office.

As a result, Zheng Ziyan followed him in with a sweet smile. After closing the door, someone's penis was kicked off.

It’s really cruel!

Where is the sweet and innocent image? She looks like a little witch!

At the beginning, like several other young actors, he was almost lured to audition by the crew with the promise of a role.

If it weren't for her solid martial arts skills that delayed the arrival of Uncle Zheng Ziyan (Police Inspector) and his team, she would have been photographed naked by now.

As for the report turning into an "open investigation and secret visit" by both parties, this was Du Sheng's request.

In exchange, the other party can publish his pictures and deeds to enhance their authenticity.

Having this kind of thing exposed can be good for one's popularity, but being associated with fraudulent filming is not a good thing.

So we have to clear it up, for example, by taking the initiative to reveal the truth.

Du Sheng checked other news headlines and replied with satisfaction:
"Thanks. It's my treat tonight. Do you want to come?"

"Metropolitan Entertainment News" is not a street tabloid. Even if it is not ranked among the top ten in the country, it still has second-tier traffic.

Having more media friends is also good for young actors.

Nowadays, many self-media have reprinted it online, and even gave it various exaggerated titles:

[Shocking! The crew tricked the artist into filming a pornographic film. Where is the moral bottom line? ]

[Angry! The "three-no" crew deceived low-level actors into filming pornographic films under the pretext of promising them roles.]

[The darkness behind the large-scale: in order to realize the dream of stardom, the truth is cruel and shocking! ]

In less than half a day, topics related to deception traps have already topped the entertainment list's hot search list.

Not surprisingly, the 9862 reputation points most likely came from this.

What made Du Sheng most happy was that his reputation value, which had been stagnant, was rising rapidly again.

It seems that there is no way to stop unless the increase is one or two thousand.

I took a look at my personal wb (which can be seen as a combination of blog + forum, or Weibo in advance).

He discovered that the number of followers of his predecessor's personal account had increased from a few to 18!
There are no such things as zombie fans or marketing fans, but real fans.

Although most of them are just onlookers, they just click on the following button.

But as long as the operation is good, some of it can be retained. This is related to the status and can be transformed into a comprehensive evaluation!

What a joy!

Because whether it is increasing popularity or exposing ugliness and other positive energy, it will be beneficial for future auditions.

Even if people don't look at you differently, they will at least have some good impression of you.

……

Half an hour later, Du Sheng got off the car and returned to the rental house. He instinctively glanced at the reputation value.

As expected, the number of hits increased by another two thousand after it became a trending topic.

Even the number of fans increased by 9, almost reaching 27.

What a joy!
Because the number of fans of current first-tier stars generally only exceeds 1000 million.

For example, the popularity of Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Lu Yi, Li Guanpeng and others will fluctuate around 1300 million.

As for second-tier cities, most of them are in the range of 500 to 1000 million.

Of course, there are always weirdos, and the ones that are brushed are no exception.

According to this calculation, if rounded off, Du Sheng is at least an artist outside the sixth tier.

Shouldn't we congratulate this?
Although he didn't have any masterpieces yet, he was still relaxed and bought a few bottles of beer and peanuts on the way.

Back to the slightly remote rental house with dilapidated walls.

Du Sheng had just put down his things when he heard footsteps behind him.

"Hey! The big star finally decided to come back?"

The door opened and a simple, honest, dark-skinned young man, who looked like a migrant worker from the countryside, walked in.

"A big star would live in a doghouse? You have such a sweet mouth!"

Du Sheng chuckled, opened a bottle of beer and handed it over.

This is Wang Yaoyang, a group member whom I met on the set.

The two of them shared this rental house for 600 yuan.

Wang Yaoyang didn't hesitate to take the bottle and drank most of it.

"You're back so early, don't you have any scenes to shoot?"

Du Sheng noticed that his clothes were still a little dirty. Although they had been washed, there were obvious traces of mud.

"Yes, I took on an anti-Japanese drama."

Wang Yaoyang raised the 90 yuan in his hand and sighed:
"It's just that in this horrible July weather, I had to stand in the sun and act like a soldier. I almost got a heat stroke."

This is the second time the Actors Guild has adjusted wages, with extras now getting 70 yuan per eight-hour shift, compared to only 50 yuan last year.

"It's good enough to get a role. When I came back, I heard a lot of people complaining."

Du Sheng smiled and was used to it.

Wang Yaoyang’s performance is pretty good, at least he has a few shots where he shows his face or has one or two lines.

As for the extras acting as background boards, they were all wearing thick and smelly armor that had not been washed for years and were lying on the ground pretending to be corpses.

Wang Yaoyang put down the bottle of wine, looked at his increasingly handsome roommate, and said with some envy:

"Same person, different fate. It won't be long before you become famous. Bring your brothers along when you get there!"

How does the saying go? I am afraid that my brothers are having a hard life, and I am even more afraid that my brothers are driving a Land Rover.

They were still looking forward to the future together last year, but they didn't expect that the other party would soar to success in the blink of an eye.

……

　[Someone asked about the slight adjustment, so I will briefly explain:
　　1. After rebirth, don’t you hope that your motherland will be better?
　　2. Prevent the setting from being carried, you carry it and you are right.

　　3. If it were exactly the same, and everyone knew how to buy footballs, lottery tickets, Bitcoin, and invest in BAT, then why wouldn't they jump into business overnight and instead get into the entertainment industry? Does this logic make sense?
　　4. If nothing changes, those male and female stars will become playthings for men...

　　5. You can improve the scale and layout of mobile phones, networks, box offices, etc.]
