Chapter 448: IQ is urgent
After hanging up the phone.

Du Sheng began to think about whether there would be opportunities for the two sides to cooperate in the future.

After all, this girl focuses on variety shows, and it would be easy for her status to drop if she doesn't have any representative works.

One day later, Du Sheng arrived in Guangzhou.

The headquarters of Coca-Cola (East) has not yet been established. It is expected to be listed in Modulo in two years. The current office is located in Huangpu District, Yangcheng.

After checking into the hotel arranged by the brand, Du Sheng changed into light clothes and went to the venue designated by Coca-Cola.

From a distance, I saw Deng Xi, one of the four young actors, getting off the bus.

"Ah Sheng, this way——"

Deng Xu waved to Du Sheng, and there was no sign of the secret competition in the past.

Du Sheng walked over with a smile on his face:

"So Brother Xiao is here too, where are the others?"

"I don't know. I just got here too."

Deng Xiao is currently very popular. Although he is not yet the prankster in the future variety show industry, he has some clues. He joked:
"You've been extremely popular lately. Have the seven couples voted for you?"

Du Sheng knew that the other party was talking about the voting event related to his screen couple that was in full swing on Renren.com.

Du Sheng did not answer but asked, with a half-smile:

“Aren’t you auditioning for ‘Happiness is Like a Flower’ recently?

There are rumors online that you have an unusual relationship with a certain actress. Is that true?"

"..."

Deng Xi was speechless for a moment.

Because it's not a rumor, it's true.

Sun Li had long been chosen by the director to play the leading female role, and he was highly regarded by the producer thanks to Sun Li's kind words.

He shrugged and chuckled:

"Then let's be honest. I heard that you plan to promote Fan Bingbing to be the top of the Four Dan and Two Bing. This should be true, right?"

Du Sheng knew that the other party was trying to change the subject, so he smiled and brushed it off.

Being bored, both sides chatted for a while.

Although there was some competition in the past, the two are now on different tracks.

Including Coca-Cola's Asia special event, they are the only two designated candidates from the mainland.

This relationship is surprisingly good.

However, like Lin Zhiling, Deng Xiaoping is an image ambassador, not a spokesperson.

At this moment, a Chinese voice with a Nanyang accent came from the side, saying:
"Hey, you guys are here so early."

Du Sheng looked back and saw a familiar face, and couldn't help but smile:
"Yan Zi, we meet again. It's fate."

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

The person who came was Sun Yanzi, who said happily:

"I have always regretted not being able to sing with you at the last Spring Festival Gala. This time, I finally have the chance to work together."

She is a Nanyang singer whom Du Sheng has always admired. Songs such as "Meeting" are his favorites, but they have rarely collaborated.

"Hello, I'm Deng Xiao."

Deng Yu stood up and introduced himself.

One of them was born in 78 and the other in 79, so they are not much different in age.

The three of them exchanged greetings for a moment, and Sun Yanzi smiled and said:
“I’ve watched your TV series. The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber starring Du Sheng was a huge hit in our area last year.

And "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", I even sang your theme song "June Rain"."

"That's not right, Yan Zi, you are being too partial to one."

Deng Yu interjected and jokingly said:
“You mentioned Du Sheng’s TV series, what about mine?

I am still your fan, I listen to the song "Green Light" every day!"

"..."

Sun Yanzi smiled somewhat awkwardly.

But she also knew that Deng Yu was just joking, so she said:

"I have actually watched The Young Emperor and the recently released Young Kangxi. You are quite popular over there."

"Is Du Sheng popular?"

Deng Xun asked a soul-searching question.

"..."

Sun Yanzi was stunned again. This was an easy question.

Although she was a top star in Nanyang and played an important role in the Chinese music scene, she still had the immaturity of being from a foreign country.

This kind of immaturity can easily make people feel good about it.

"Haha, Brother Xu is not giving up, and still wants to get back his position overseas?"

Du Sheng smiled and helped Sun Yanzi out of the predicament, then looked at Deng Yan:
"You are quite popular in Nanyang, and your popularity is comparable to my popularity when I won the championship in "Wulin" last year."

Deng Xuan could hear the ridicule and snorted, pretending to sneer:

"Rounding it off, isn't it true that I am more popular than you this year?"

Sun Yanzi obviously didn't expect that Du Sheng and Deng Wei had such a good relationship that they could make such a joke.

After all, it is rumored that there is a lot of competition between the two in commercial endorsements.

But the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.

And she magically blended into this atmosphere.

While they were chatting, a new star arrived.

He was a shorter man, and the most distinctive thing about him was that his head was shaved.

Hong Kong’s top star, Zhang Weijian.

He has developed in three areas: film, television and music, and is known as the "most handsome Sun Wukong" in the Hong Kong circle.

Du Sheng has watched his movies and TV series and even listened to his songs.

The other party had previously been in the spotlight for an incident involving beating someone.

Now it seems that the situation has almost calmed down.

Behind Zhang Weijian, there was a beautiful woman with dyed red hair.

It is Zheng Xiuwen who is famous for her ever-changing images and outstanding singing and dancing skills.

She is also known as "the successor of Mei Yanfang" and "the ever-changing little queen".

"Shengzi, Xiaozi...hello."

Zheng Xiuwen took the initiative to say hello and seemed quite warm. She did not act like a senior just because she debuted earlier.

There are many artists in the circle who put on airs in front of their juniors, but they also have to consider who their juniors are.

Du Sheng, Deng Wei, and Sun Yanzi, none of them is simple, and Zheng Xiuwen certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to act pretentiously.

But her Mandarin with a Cantonese accent made Sun Yanzi feel dizzy.

"Brother Jian, Sister Xiumin, please take a seat first. The others haven't arrived yet."

Du Sheng stood up and invited Zhang Weijian and Zheng Xiuwen to sit down.

Deng Xun sat next to Zhang Weijian and Zheng Xiuwen and started chatting enthusiastically.

He started out in Hong Kong, so he had connections in that circle.

In contrast, Zhang Weijian said few words to Du Sheng and Sun Yanzi, who were somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Du Sheng was happy to relax since they had nothing to talk about anyway.

Instead, it was Zheng Xiuwen who chatted with him.

The two parties had previously collaborated on "Infernal Affairs" and there was also the relationship between Liu Dehua.

Around 1:30 p.m.

As time went by, another artist arrived at the scene.

This new star is no ordinary one either.

It is Ling Junjie, who has recently become famous with an album.

Like Sun Yanzi, they are all famous artists in the Nanyang region.

In another year or two, he and Zhou Jielun were known as the 'New Four Heavenly Kings' of the music scene, which shows his extraordinary strength.

But Du Sheng was more observant and noticed something strange.

Ling Junjie's arrival made Sun Yanzi silent.

It seems that the competitive relationship between these two fellow countrymen has not improved yet.

But when you think about a small place like Nanyang, it's normal to have a lot of competition.

When Ling Junjie greeted Du Sheng and others, he ignored Sun Yanzi's existence, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

On the contrary, he and Zhang Weijian seemed quite familiar with each other, and they started chatting as soon as they met.

As the number of people increased, the atmosphere began to become a little subtle.

After all, everyone has different networks of relationships and is not generally familiar with each other.

This time, it was Coca-Cola that was willing to spend money that brought them together.

"It seems that Coca-Cola has invested heavily to fight against Pepsi's challenge."

Du Sheng glanced at the people present and understood something.

Deng Yu, Ling Junjie, Sun Yanzi, Zhang Weijian, Zheng Xiuwen.
Judging from the current artist lineup, it clearly covers popular stars from the Mainland, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.

Although they are slightly inferior to Aaron Kwok, Jay Chou, F4 and others in Pepsi's "Star Special", their overall strength should not be underestimated.

After waiting for a while, the Coca-Cola leader in charge of this project finally showed up.

A chubby man, his assistant called him Mr. Cao, he was very eloquent and quickly became friends with the artists.

At 2:10, Zhang Weijian could no longer sit still and gestured.

His agent suddenly turned around and said calmly:
"Mr. Cao, our appointment is before 2 o'clock. You said there are still some artists who haven't arrived yet?"

Du Sheng and others were happy and waiting to see the fun.

Although they are a little unhappy, they are not yet top-tier companies, so seniority-based promotion is inevitable.

At the scene, Zhang Weijian is at least one generation older than Du Sheng, and their seniority is there.

He was expressing his dissatisfaction to Mr. Cao.

If it weren't for the fight that happened before, he would have been furious right now.

"Sorry, sorry."

Mr. Cao apologized first and responded with a smile:

"I have just contacted someone and they are on their way.

It's just that the flight was delayed, so I'm sorry to delay you for a moment."

No one present said anything.

Just listen to what's going on with the flight delay.

They are all hot stars, but there is no such thing as one waiting for another.

This is actually a very disrespectful behavior.

After all, it's such an important occasion, and you're just rushing here now?
Your time is precious, but other people’s time is not?

Are you just showing off?

It's interesting to show off in front of top stars.

Therefore, although everyone looked at them with different expressions, they all stopped talking at the same time.

Mr. Cao suddenly felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only secretly curse the two people from Wancheng for being ignorant.

Ling Junjie seemed to have some connection with those two and noticed that the atmosphere was a little off:

"Before boarding the plane, Brother Li posted a blog post complaining that the flight was indeed delayed.

Everyone has encountered this situation, there is nothing we can do about it.

Brother Jian, you and Brother Li have worked together before, so you should understand each other."

"Since it's Wang Li, let's forget it this time."

Zhang Weijian shook his head and didn't pursue the matter any further.

When he went to Bay City to promote the show, he did work with Wang Li on the variety show "Super Sunday".

Despite this, the atmosphere was a bit silent.

Finally, we waited until half past two.

Two artists with great aura walked in.

The leading man had long hair, wore sunglasses, and a Western suit, and looked very Western.

"Sorry sorry."

He took off his sunglasses, walked in front of everyone, raised his hand with a smile, and said:

"My original flight was delayed, and the roads here are not easy to navigate. I'm sorry I'm late."

No wonder Wang Li was teased in his previous life as "his IQ is too low and he has to apologize to make up for it", and he was also forced to temporarily retire from the circle due to cheating, transferring property, divorce and other things.

With this attitude of admitting mistakes, it’s not unfair.
