Chapter 439 Grandstanding
Zhang Haolong and Ma Yaowei whispered a few words, but in the end they didn't want to take the risk.

But they have other businesses here, so it's not like they're going to lose everything.

For example, tickets, purchasing on behalf of others, business mutual assistance, etc. There are many Chinese crossing the sea this time, so there is always demand.

In addition, they also had to help Du Sheng when he participated in fan interaction sessions in the afternoon, such as autograph sessions and photo opportunities.

There are business opportunities here, it just depends on whether you want to make money.

Du Sheng was so busy that he didn't have any free time until the evening.

But he couldn't stop yet.

Because Liu Weiqiang, who is here to scout the scenery for "Initial D", will be here tonight to support the event.

It was previously instructed that Kawa Sakurako would help contact and purchase the adaptation rights for the manga "Mischievous Kiss", and there is a high probability that the husband of the original author will also be present to watch the game.

In its previous life, this comic was adapted into "Itazura na Kiss" by Bay City, which topped the ratings in its time slot for 18 consecutive weeks when it was first aired.

Even though it is a sequel, its ratings ranked among the top three of the year.

Although Du Sheng will not participate in the filming, it is still better for the company to make more money.

There are also local Chinese business representatives and the head of the Sony branch who will be here tonight to join in the fun, and he will need to take care of all of them.

After finally finishing their busy work, when Du Sheng and his group returned to the gymnasium by car, they were surprised to find that the inside and outside were already crowded with people.

"They're here so early?"

Wang Yaoyang glanced at the time and it was just past 5 o'clock in the evening.

The stadium, which can accommodate more than 7 people, is now crowded with people, and at least half of the seats are occupied.

There were also many young people in the crowd with five-star flag stickers on their faces.

They held Du Sheng's poster and name and cheered loudly, full of excitement and anticipation.

"It's not too early. After all, the finale starts at 7pm."

Ma Yaowei had helped out at the Xiangjiang Stadium before and knew very well how busy it was to ensure the orderly entry of more than 7 people.

If we don't let people in two hours in advance, I'm afraid the audience will be dizzy waiting in line.

"Brother Sheng has great appeal!"

Zhang Haolong took a few glances and found that in addition to the Chinese group, many Japanese girls were holding up Du Sheng's support items.

Even through the car window, the cheers and cheers outside the car were still clearly audible.

"Du Jun, come on!"

"Sniper God, omnipotent!"

"Brother Sheng, beating the sumo king, isn't that too much to ask?"

The accompanying team of the "Kung Fu" program was infected by the warm atmosphere and excitedly urged the photographer:

"Lao Liu, hurry up and take photos of all this so we can use it as a behind-the-scenes video or as a reference later!"

The ceremony was attended by Du Sheng and Mark Hunt, both core figures of "Kung Fu", so some promotional elements were required.

Without being reminded by others, the photographer was already very busy, and the camera kept capturing every wonderful moment.

In the audience seats, Japanese audiences accounted for about 70% to 80% and the rest were tourists from Southeast Asia and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, including many female audiences.

They sat in the stands, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

But their excitement was not just about watching the game.

Behind the VIP seats, Bi Shian and others have returned to the interview area.

At this moment, their cameras were not all aimed at the central ring, but were fixed on the entrance of the gymnasium.

Du Sheng's match is scheduled for the third and finale, around eight o'clock in the evening.

It was not yet seven o'clock, but a cry of surprise was heard at the entrance of the gymnasium.

The female audience in the stands seemed to notice something and stood up excitedly.

When they saw stars such as the 12 Girls Band, Norika Fujiwara, and Takuya Kimura appear at the entrance, screams suddenly broke out like a tsunami, sweeping the entire stadium!
"Kimura-kun!!"

“Four-character brother!!”

"The super idol at the end of the century - Norika Fujiwara!!!"

Facing the enthusiastic audience, Takuya Kimura, wearing a casual suit, waved gently and politely, which triggered another round of even more crazy screams.

Norika Fujiwara, who is known as the "super idol of the end of the century", "the number one fantasy of the island nation" and "the fantasy of the end of the century", was relatively low-key. She just waved her hand and entered the VIP desk.

Takuya Kimura, wearing large sunglasses, was surrounded by the crowd. The girls' screams reached their peak, almost blowing the roof of the gymnasium off.

In Japan, these stars can be said to be among the top ten in terms of popularity.

Takuya Kimura, who is currently filming "2046", came back from Hong Kong specially this time.

His previous works "Life is Beautiful" and "Legal Heroes", which broke Japan's ratings records, made him an Asian superstar.

So when he showed up at the stadium, the female fans went wild.

The media reporters did not expect that the K1 organizers would spend so much money to invite these two stars to the event.

For a moment, the stadium was brightly lit and illuminated by countless flashing lights.

In the front row of the VIP seats, Kitagawa Keiko looked at Kimura Takuya who was surrounded by reporters and said to Yukawa Sakurako with a smile:
"If Du Jun wins the UFC gold belt and House of Flying Daggers becomes a big hit after its release, he should be more popular than Kimura!"

Yukawa Sakurako looked at her and smiled:
"Isn't Kimura your idol? Now, apart from Du Jun, is there no one else in your eyes?"

The other party has changed a lot recently, which makes her feel a little magical.

But she had to admit that ever since she had intercourse with Du Sheng, she found that her skin had become much smoother.

Is this the nourishing power brought by the mysterious oriental Kung Fu?

Kitagawa Keiko smiled and said, "Idols can only be admired from afar, it is more important to have something within reach!"

Backstage, Du Sheng, dressed in formal attire, was sitting leisurely. He did not look like he was here to participate in the competition.

"Brother Sheng, this puppet formation is very powerful."

Ma Yaowei pointed to the neon welcome scene on the other side that was cheering loudly, and sighed with a smile.

He really didn't expect that Akebono was so popular, and there were so many boxing fans supporting him just by entering the venue.

Wang Yaoyang didn't take it seriously and said:
"This is even better. Seeing my idol being KO'd by Brother Sheng in person, the inability to vent anger must be exciting!"

Du Sheng just smiled and didn't get involved in the topic.

He was just here tonight for formalities, and the other party was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Asotarou sat down in the contestant seat with no intention of saying hello.

He came to the K1 th anniversary celebration just for the fame.

He originally thought that after facing Du Sheng, who had received a lot of attention, he would be able to become the focus to some extent.

Unexpectedly, there were not many reports about him during that period, and the ones that were available were purchased by K1 for hype.

On the contrary, even though Du Sheng is not in Neon, there are still many local female fans cheering for him.

A King of Fighters topic was also set up on the K1 forum.

This made Asotarou feel absurd and like he was going against the grain.

Therefore, in the past week, Akebono made two bold statements in interviews, threatening to make Du Sheng unable to get up during the competition.

This is naturally a form of propaganda.

There are even organizers behind the scenes fanning the flames.

As for the loss of popularity, it doesn’t matter.

As long as you can win, everything will go well, and you can even take over your opponent's popularity and sit on the throne of the king of fighting.

However, even though Du Sheng came to Neon three days ago, he did not receive any response at all.

It seemed like they didn't take him seriously at all.

Instead, he had some scandals with Kyoko Fukada and Keiko Kitagawa.

This invisible contrast has made many citizens wonder if Akebono is being a bit sensational.

This made him even more unhappy.

Tonight I will ignore the friendly competition proposal from the K1 organizer and decide to give it a try.

Time passed by unknowingly and finally it was seven o'clock in the evening.

As the most grand opening guest, Takuya Kimura sang his representative song "One and Only", which ignited the atmosphere of the competition.

With the host's passionate introduction, the match between Mark Hunt and Hust took place as scheduled.

However, to everyone's surprise, the favorite Just ended up in a tie with Mark Hunt.

I don’t know if it was because Juste had an old injury that had not yet healed, but Mark Hunt used his weight and explosive power to withstand Juste’s fierce attack, dragging the game into the third round, where the two sides ended up in a draw.

No matter how the audience who lost money cursed, the host had already walked onto the stage to take control of the situation.

After a lot of nonsense, he suddenly changed the subject and introduced the halftime singing guest:
"Next, please invite Mr. Du Sheng and Ms. Kyoko Fukada to sing a song "Blue Bird" for everyone..."

Everyone in the audience was stunned, thinking they had heard wrongly.

Isn’t Du Sheng the finale contestant tonight?
At this time, does he still have the leisure to act as a guest and sing on stage?
And he also released a new Neon single the day before yesterday?

Is this an opportunity to take advantage of the publicity, or does it mean they don't take their opponents seriously?
"Wow, it's really Du Sheng!"

"Composing the theme song for the Japanese version of "Chinese Paladin"? Brother Sheng is awesome!"

"Wow, Mr. Du looks even more handsome in his fancy dress."

"Kyoko Fukada is holding Du Sheng's arm and smiling so sweetly. Is she interested in him?"

"Hey! Look at 'Akebono', his face is so dark."

"Haha, I just like Du Jun's rebelliousness, it's really charming!"

When they saw Kyoko Fukada, wearing a pure white off-shoulder long dress, smiling sweetly and singing on the stage with her arm around Du Sheng, the audience were shocked and stunned, and there was an uproar.

I have to say, this couple's appearance on stage was indeed stunning.

The ratings of Fuji TV's pay channel, which was broadcasting live, instantly soared by one-fifth.

The scene at the Dome was extremely exciting, and the screams could be heard clearly even outside the venue.

At that moment, the scene seemed to have turned into a concert for the two of them.

Kyoko Fukada came here specially at the suggestion of Sakurako Yukawa.

Just to give Du Sheng a surprise.

She was dressed particularly charmingly tonight, her beautiful collarbone was faintly visible, her skin was fair, and on her chest she wore the necklace that Du Sheng had given her. She looked pure as a picture, as if she was an angel who had strayed into the world.

In order to attract viewership, the organizer agreed to give her this surprise.

Although she is now doing well in the film and television industry, she initially gained popularity as a singer and has released ten albums of different sizes.

Du Sheng knew the beauty's feelings and naturally would not refuse.

This is how they came to sing together.
