Chapter 431 The opponent is so awesome!

The next morning, when Du Sheng came back from boxing, the hotel waiter had already brought him breakfast.

And Fan Bingbing was still immersed in sleep.

She had undergone Du Sheng's professional 'assessment' last night, which consumed a lot of her energy and she indeed felt very tired.

Therefore, getting up in the morning is a big challenge for her.

Seeing Fan Bingbing snuggling beside him while eating breakfast, Du Sheng couldn't help but joked:

"I just practiced Crane Fist twice, is it really necessary to be so tired?
You don't have much to do in the morning, why don't you take this opportunity to rest and go in the afternoon?"

Fan Bingbing closed her eyes, turned around and gently squeezed into Du Sheng's arms, with a bit of charm and laziness:
"No, that's too unprofessional, I'll be accused of being a big shot.

Once I get in the car, I'll just lean on you and rest for a while.

You have a special smell, and I can fall asleep quickly in your arms."

Du Sheng sniffed the clothes:
"Strange taste? No."

Fan Bingbing opened her charming eyes and said in a playful tone:

"Yes, it's an irresistible and tempting smell!"

Du Sheng laughed, took Fan Bingbing to the closet, and changed her nightgown with ease.

There was inevitably some romance in the friction, if he hadn't considered going to Neon in the afternoon, he would have considered a test with guns and sticks.

Let’s not talk about the K1 th anniversary celebration for now.

Yesterday, Fuji TV sent a message saying that the transliteration of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been completed and it will be broadcast on the evening of March 3th.

It can be seen that the other party obviously changed gears temporarily and planned to gain some popularity.

As the leading actor, Du Sheng has to make a trip to promote the film no matter how busy he is.

Originally, Girls' Generation was also going to join us, but the girls were either filming, preparing for the college entrance exams, or were unable to get away.

Fuji TV has no objection to this.

They mainly hope that Du Sheng can go there in person to promote it.

The overwhelming popularity of the previous K1 finals and Du Sheng's tall and handsome image have long been popular among housewives.

Especially his wonderful performance in winning the finals made many girls watch and reminisce over and over again.

Therefore, what Fuji TV wants most is Du Sheng's fanatical popularity in Japan.

After coming to the set with Fan Bingbing and finishing the morning scenes, Du Sheng said hello to the two directors and left with Zhang Haolong, Wang Yaoyang and others.

"Brother Sheng, it's still the Dome Stadium."

Zhang Haolong waved the plane ticket in his hand and flew directly to Tokyo International Airport.

I don’t know if it was due to the Asian winning the championship and the special tenth anniversary, but the K1 ceremony was held in a particularly grand manner.

The organizers spared no expense and moved the venue to the Tokyo Dome Stadium.

This stadium is located in Tokyo. It is egg-shaped and is considered to be the largest sports hall in Japan, capable of accommodating 7 spectators!

This treatment is usually only offered during major annual events, such as the K1 GP finals.

If you want to fill this stadium, the only way to do so is the Red and White Songs Contest on New Year's Eve.

However, even though it has been moved to such a large stadium this time, tickets are still hard to come by!
This is because this grand ceremony not only invited superstars from the wrestling and sumo worlds to participate, but also brought an internationally renowned symphony orchestra to the scene.

Such a huge production costs 1.5 million Neon coins alone.

It has also become the hottest topic in Neon.

Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that the boxer they support will have the last laugh.

People who are familiar with Du Sheng naturally want to witness this historical moment with their own eyes.

The 10 free tickets he had were snatched up early on.

In order to capture this wave of popularity and traffic, the organizers have come up with a variety of tricks.
They also notified the police station early and requested the dispatch of several hundred police officers and security guards to ensure that everything went smoothly.

"Besides the All-Star Game, what else does the organizer have planned this time?"

After getting on the plane, Du Sheng ignored Zhang Haolong who was excited and ready to fight, and looked at Wang Yaoyang and asked.

After he agreed to participate in the "Return of Star Players" event last time, K1 excitedly told him a lot.

But after listening to the celebration ceremony, the presence of nearly three hundred media outlets and five TV stations, and the review of important moments and classic duels in K1 history, he no longer had the heart to listen.

It's really too long-winded.

He only knew that he would participate in the 'All-Star Game'.

In addition to an appearance fee of 3000 million neon coins, there will also be PPV profits, but they will be uniformly divided into 55 points.

As for whether there are any others, you'll have to ask.

"There will also be fan interaction sessions, guest performances, a rising star challenge, and a special commemorative match..."

Wang Yaoyang was previously in charge of recording, so he knew everything:
“Mr. Ye suggested that you take part in the fan interaction session. If you want to increase Neon’s popularity, you can also take part in the guest performance. It’s reserved for you anyway.

Other celebration ceremonies, rising star challenges, special commemorative matches, etc. have been postponed."

K1 organizers have always operated the event as an alternative entertainment, incorporating the most advanced lighting, sound, stage design and music into each competition.

This is also its successful strategy to attract a large number of young fans.

Therefore, I also attach great importance to fan interaction in my daily life.

In such grand ceremonies, there are often autograph sessions, handshakes, free boxing gloves, group photos, etc., which give fans the opportunity to get close to their favorite players and enhance their sense of participation and loyalty.

Du Sheng is an all-rounder in the fields of film, television, music and boxing, so managing fans is a necessary part of his career, so Ye Jingzhi suggested that he get involved.

The same goes for guest performances.

As a well-known figure in Asia, he is naturally qualified to go on stage as a guest.

Ye Jingzhi even suggested that he refer to the previous practice in the Lighthouse Country and release a classic Japanese song to make it lasting. As for the Rising Star Challenge and the Special Commemorative Competition.

The former is to allow rookies to demonstrate their strength and compete with experienced veterans.

The latter includes K1 local competitions, K1 MAX kings, etc., or competitions with previous champions.

The purpose of both is to discover or promote potential players so that K1 can be passed down from generation to generation.

As the champion of that year, Du Sheng doesn't need to participate in these.

Moreover, he had to record a promotional program for Fuji TV and did not have the time to participate in it all day.

"Then let's do this for now."

This grand ceremony was held for two days.

The All-Star Game, the finale, will be held at 7 p.m. on the 20th.

As for fan interactions and guest performances, these can all be held in the afternoon or evening of the same day.

Du Sheng is one of the mainstays of this grand ceremony, so he is naturally qualified to change the time.

If the K1 organizers knew that he was willing to perform on stage, they would definitely applaud and welcome him.

I even wish he could show up more often.

"Which famous boxers will be in this 'All-Star Showdown'?"

Zhang Haolong has been busy with Huang Deli on "Water Moon Cave" recently and has not had much time to pay attention, so he couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"When it comes to famous boxers, this is a lot!"

Wang Yaoyang said,

"First of all, Just has recently returned after half a year of recuperation.

However, he clearly stated that he would not compete against Chinese boxers, which seemed to have left a psychological shadow on Brother Sheng.

In addition, Peter Az, who won the K-94 GP championship three times in 95/98/1 and was known as the 'Cowland Lumberjack', is also among the returning star players.

Mark Hunt, Remi Bonjaski and other old acquaintances who have won a championship have also accepted the invitation..."

At this point, he chuckled:
“Of course, the biggest attraction of this event is the participation of the superstars from the wrestling and sumo worlds.

According to K1's nature of seeking popularity and ratings, maybe Brother Sheng will even have a cross-border competition with them!"

"Cross-border competition?"

Zhang Haolong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said:
"This is quite interesting. Who are they specifically?"

"The known ones include Mitsuharu Misawa and Nobuhiko Oshima in the wrestling world."

Wang Yaoyang took out his notebook and read out the message from Ma Yaowei:

“The former has won the GHC Heavyweight Championship three times and the GHC Tag Team Championship twice.

The latter has won the International Lightweight Championship and the UWA World 6-Man Team Championship, and both are experts in elbow strikes. "

Du Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard it, feeling vaguely familiar.

Especially Mitsuharu Misawa, who seemed to have been killed by his opponent's elbow in his previous life.

"As for sumo, as Japan's national sport, there should be many famous players."

"Hehe, there are indeed quite a few, and they are even more incredible!"

Hearing Du Sheng's question, Wang Yaoyang laughed again:
"For example, Seihiko Kato, who dominated sumo tournaments and debuted as a yokozuna-level sumo wrestler, is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 308 kilograms.

There is also the first foreign Yokozuna in Japan’s history, Akebono Taro, who is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 466 kilograms…”

Sumo originated in the Spring and Autumn Period in the East, and after being introduced to Japan, it gradually became the national sport of that country.

The rules are similar to wrestling, but kicking is not allowed, and the winner is the one who knocks the opponent down.

Therefore, most sumo wrestlers today are extremely fat men weighing over 300 pounds.

Sumo is divided into 10 levels according to athletic performance. Yokozuna is the highest level title and also a lifetime honorary title.

"Being pressed down by such a fat man, I'm afraid I'll be turned into a meat paste, right?"

Zhang Haolong was secretly shocked when he heard this. Suddenly he thought of something and said:

"Who is Brother Sheng's opponent?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the assistants who followed looked over.

Wang Yaoyang doubled it and said in confusion:

"Yao Wei didn't say anything, so it's probably not announced yet."

Zhang Haolong wondered:

"There are only three days left before the grand ceremony begins, and the opponents for the All-Star Game haven't been chosen yet? This shouldn't be the case."

Wang Yaoyang guessed:
"I heard that the eight celebrity contestants were randomly matched. The process should have been planned long ago, but it's just kept mysterious for now."

It was obviously too early for him to say this.

I was on the plane before and was unable to receive any information.

As soon as I got off the plane, Ma Yaowei's follow-up messages came one after another.

"Brother Sheng, come out, your opponent is really awesome this time!"

Zhang Haolong held up his phone and said excitedly:
"Akebono Taro, nicknamed 'Giant Spirit', is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 466 kilograms!
And it’s free fighting, you can choose K1-kickboxing, K1-MMA, boxing, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, Wing Chun, Sanda and other attacks.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yaoyang, who was carrying his luggage, glanced sideways.

Even the "Kung Fu" program team who volunteered to accompany the filming looked strange.
