Chapter 457: Put to death?
Zhong Zhen nodded seriously and said:
"I have asked my legal team to file a lawsuit for defamation."
Du Sheng chatted for a while and finally felt relieved.
The facts were just as they said, and Coca-Cola announced the relevant matters early the next morning.
Xu Xiyuan and Wang Li were no longer spokespersons and were ordered to compensate for the brand's losses.
Faced with such an international capital giant, these two people would have no choice but to vomit blood.
And the person who replaced Xu Xiyuan was not Lin Zhiling.
Du Sheng held the phone, a little surprised:
"Why not?"
He originally thought that Lin Chi-ling would rejoin the 'Asian Special' because of this.
After all, no matter how bad the endorsement is, there will be millions of income, not to mention the huge exposure gained by the online advertisement.
In this day and age, it’s hard for first-line artists not to be tempted.
"Coca-Cola did approach me, but I turned it down."
Lin Zhiling smiled and spoke calmly.
As a top student with two master's degrees, she naturally understands the benefits.
The reason why he declined without hesitation was definitely not as ordinary as it seemed.
Du Sheng guessed that one of the deeper reasons was...
That means Lin Zhiling is avoiding suspicion.
I don't want to take over this endorsement and be dragged into the vortex.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this incident will obviously have a follow-up.
What is even more surprising is that I don’t know whether it is to compensate Du Sheng or to choose a nearby place.
Coca-Cola actually invited a female star from Star Media, who was related to him, to fill the vacancy.
And today’s shooting location has also been changed to Baiyun District.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Du Sheng arrived at the shooting location.
What he didn't expect was that the first person he met was Zhang Weijian.
When Zhang Weijian saw Du Sheng, he actually smiled and nodded in greeting, and his attitude seemed very friendly.
It was as if what happened yesterday was just an illusion.
Du Sheng nodded casually, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the perfunctory tone in his response.
If the contract had not just been signed and there had been trouble, I would not have even considered working with these people.
After a while, Ling Junjie also appeared at the scene.
Compared with Zhang Weijian, Ling Junjie appears more hypocritical.
After arriving at the scene, he greeted Du Sheng and apologized in front of everyone, but he turned around and looked sullen.
Of course, he also deliberately kept a distance from Zhang Weijian and didn't even say hello.
The impact of last night's incident was so wide that many people were implicated.
For someone like Ling Junjie to be able to stand here safely, it was obviously a high price he paid.
Being treated as a pawn by others, he naturally had no mood to greet Zhang Weijian with a smile.
As a result, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely awkward.
Du Sheng, Zhang Weijian and Ling Junjie did not communicate with each other at all.
The atmosphere was not eased until Ling Zhiying and Jia Jingwen arrived and greeted everyone in a familiar manner.
Even so, the atmosphere eased only slightly.
Ling Zhiying also noticed the subtle changes at the scene, so he restrained his temper.
The dispute between Du Sheng, Xu Xiyuan and Wang Li had already caused a lot of controversy in the city, so Ling Zhiying could naturally figure out some clues.
"A Sheng!"
Instead, Jia Jingwen came to Du Sheng with a smile on her face and looked at him like a lucky baby.
After all, she was able to get a bargain this time thanks to so many men.
Du Sheng smiled and introduced the situation on the scene to Jia Jingwen before the filming began.
He also speculated on Coca-Cola's intentions.
Although Jia Jingwen is from Wancheng, she rarely goes back, so she doesn't need to worry about the forces over there.
At the same time, as a member of Miracle Studio, she is famous enough, and using her can also compensate Du Sheng, killing two birds with one stone.
Not long after, Sun Yanzi and Zheng Xiuwen also came.
"Thanks for last night."
Du Sheng thanked them softly.
He reviewed all the stars who chose sides last night, and he kept them in mind, whether they supported him or slandered him.
Although Sun Yanzi and Zheng Xiuwen's way of support was very low-key, they still spoke out before the truth came out, which is rare.
"a piece of cake."
Sun Yanzi said with a smile.
Although her agent had advised her not to get involved, she chose to come forward.
Because she felt that if she did nothing, she would feel unhappy for the rest of her life.
The same is true for Zheng Xiuwen.
She has no connection with Ling Junjie, but has a good relationship with Du Sheng.
And considering Du Sheng's influence in the mainland, he may need his help in the future.
This prompted her to make this bold decision.
In fact, she made the right bet.
Most of those who fanned the flames for Xu Xiyuan and Ling Junjie online and offline have already suffered backlash.
After waiting for a while, Deng Zhao also appeared at the scene.
The stars are together again.
Although the number of people remains the same, the 'Asian Special' requires some fine-tuning.
Du Sheng flipped through the new script and a strange expression appeared on his face.
His role in the script became more important, while Ling Junjie and Zhang Weijian's roles were reduced.
Especially Ling Junjie, the time he spent on camera alone was almost halved.
Zhang Weijian's expression did not change much, as if he agreed. Ling Junjie also guessed that this was Coca-Cola's way of reducing risk, and he could only blame himself for his bad luck.
Deng Zhao kept a low profile after arriving at the scene. His expression was slightly complicated after watching the scene, but he had no opinion.
In the end, no one raised any objections.
Everyone started filming according to the new script.
The director and the photographer were in a lot of pain during the last shoot.
Because each actor is more difficult than the other.
And this time, they felt more relaxed than ever before.
It seemed that in order to finish the filming as quickly as possible and catch up with the progress, everyone was cooperating and no accidents like last time occurred.
Mr. Cao, who was standing nearby, wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was severely criticized for last night's incident, he was lucky enough not to be fired and still has a chance to reform.
Seeing everyone working together in harmony, the assistant next to him couldn't help but sigh:
"Last time they had a good relationship and would greet each other when they met, but then they ended up getting hurt by a cold arrow. It was so cruel!
This time their relationship was so tense that they barely spoke to each other, but we were able to shoot smoothly in the silence.”
Mr. Cao also sighed and nodded:
“This is survival and reality, and all adults have to face it.
Even if you want to kill the other person, you have to show a friendly attitude at certain times."
As they say, the shoot went pretty smoothly.
The filming was completed in less than two days.
However, celebrities who can reach this level have very busy schedules.
"Ah Sheng, I heard that you are good at racing. Can we have a race sometime?"
Before leaving, Ling Zhiying did not forget to extend the invitation.
Recently, he has been really obsessed with F1 racing.
I almost forgot my main business in film and television.
In addition, he has already won 6 racing championship trophies, which makes him even more addicted.
Du Sheng smiled slightly and said:
"Brother Zhiying, you should just go and bully the weak ones. I can't afford to lose face like this."
He is still self-aware.
Unless you win the relevant skills after filming "Initial D", it will be difficult to compare with these professionals.
Seeing that this junior who had recently overshadowed their "Four Heavenly Kings" was convinced, Ling Zhiying waved his hand and smiled:
"Don't worry, I'll give you a chance. If you're interested, come find me in Zhuhai!"
Deng Wei, Zheng Xiuwen, Sun Yanzi and others also left one after another. They had a good relationship with Du Sheng and greeted each other before leaving.
"Brother Sheng, do you want me to find someone..."
Watching Zhang Weijian and Lin Junjie get into the car and leave one after another, Zhang Haolong quietly approached Du Sheng and made a secret gesture.
Du Sheng did not comment and asked:
"Where are they both going next?"
In fact, he had the opportunity to take action just now, such as making the patient suffer from diarrhea or be sick for a few days.
But considering that the recent turmoil is not over yet, there are a lot of surveillance cameras on the set, which can be easily exploited by those with ulterior motives, so let's leave it at that for now.
Including the two in Bay City, there is still a long way to go.
"Bald Zhang's film 'Little Fish and Flower' hasn't finished filming yet, so he should be back in the Huairou Film and Television Base in Beijing."
Wang Yaoyang had already investigated the current situation of those people and whispered:
"As for the man surnamed Ling, his father's business in Hong Kong will open in two days, and he will probably stop by to promote it."
Du Sheng thought about it and gestured to Zhang Haolong:
"Is the snake husband still in Hong Kong?"
Forget about it for now as he is in the mainland. He doesn't want to be implicated in any scandal because of such a small matter.
Zhang Haolong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"That's right! He must have some ideas."
As the name suggests, Mrs. Snake returned to western Guangdong to catch snakes for a living after retiring.
His first idol was Ho Yiu-tung, a famous soldier in the Hong Kong and Guangdong provinces. He was unwilling to live a mediocre life, so he crossed the sea to make a big buck and then retire.
Unfortunately, the world has changed and I can’t find any opportunities at all. I’m currently making a living by fighting underground boxing matches in Hong Kong.
He is good at Hung Gar and Military Boxing.
The second idol is Du Sheng, and I really want to stand out in competition.
Some time ago, Du Sheng was producing an album for Zhou Huimin in Hong Kong, and Shefu came to her house to discuss and teach.
Although the snake husband was easily knocked down, he admired Du Sheng more and more, and became more familiar with people like Ma Yaowei and Zhang Haolong.
"You don't have to show up, just let others reveal Ling's whereabouts."
As an upright and kind person who grew up under the red flag, Du Sheng could not bear to see a Chinese compatriot making another big mistake, so it was necessary to correct his mistakes and punish him.
"Hehe, I know."
Zhang Haolong is very clear about the character of the snake husband. He has not committed any crime in Hong Kong for more than two years, but he may not be able to control himself in such a matter.
Du Sheng closed his eyes and said no more.
After Snake Man was defeated in the last competition, he found that he was mostly affected by the characteristics of the "Hero" accessory.
Just like Wang Yaoyang, Ma Yaowei, Zhang Haolong and others, most of them can't sit still even without him saying anything.
And as the impact becomes deeper, people cannot bear to see their idols being humiliated.
Moreover, given the character of the snake husband, he does act cautiously and reassuringly.
Eight o'clock in the evening, in an elegant western restaurant.
Du Sheng took Jia Jingwen on a dinner trip for two.
As the saying goes, the man has feelings and the woman is willing.
The two got along very happily, flirting from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm.
Jia Jingwen drank some wine and her cheeks turned slightly red, making her look even more charming.
She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then asked casually:
"Ah Sheng, you mentioned before that you will be filming two movies this year. Are there any roles suitable for me in them?"
Liu Yifei's four little girls are very popular now, receiving many acting offers, and are even known as the "Sword Princesses" by the public.
Many of Jia Jingwen's friends are talking about them.
Although she has recently been rated as a new first-line actress by netizens, there is still some envy.
The main reason is that she doesn't have a truly representative film yet, which is quite regrettable.
