Chapter 465: The Storm
"Brother Sheng, isn't this a bit too much?"
Ma Yaowei on the other end of the phone shuddered.
Although the target is about to leave the mainland for Hong Kong, which will make it very convenient for Snake Man and his gang to do something, the other party's background is not simple.
One of the "Three Little Kings" of Beijing, a member of the Qing imperial family, an Australian of Chinese descent, and his father is ranked in the top 30 of the Forbes rich list...
As for foreign businessmen, they are easy to find. The Wang family has many enemies anyway, so they will not be implicated.
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong, and no one will be killed."
Du Sheng said lightly:
"After his family pays the ransom, let the snake husband..."
It is not necessary to get rid of Wang Shuo directly, as the risks of doing so outweigh the benefits.
Moreover, the conflict between the two has not yet reached the point of life and death.
If he hadn't intended to teach the other party a profound lesson and reap as much benefit as possible at the same time, he would have made him lie in bed in agony in the morning.
But if you do this kind of secret tricks too often, it's easy to get into trouble.
The most appropriate approach is to turn passivity into initiative and crisis into opportunity.
"Brother Sheng, how can I cooperate with this?"
Zhang Haolong on the side was a little excited and asked while rubbing his hands.
Du Sheng glanced inside and outside the car. Apart from Wang Yaoyang who was concentrating on driving, no one else noticed. He thought for a moment and lowered his voice:
"You go to Bay City in advance, and then the snake man will send you the video.
When you contact Wang's family, be sure to change your voice and keep it confidential.
Also, prepare a few more mobile phone cards..."
Zhang Haolong nodded excitedly after hearing this, and couldn't wait to prepare after getting off the car.
If this order is successful, the profit can easily be more than three or two million.
.........
"Crack!"
The next evening, as this familiar voice sounded, the crew welcomed the long-awaited moment.
All the members of "The Twin Dragons" have been stationed in Hengdian for more than a month, and today they finally completed the filming of the last scene.
Chief Director Cai Jingsheng announced under the watchful eyes of the crowd:
“We’re done!”
In an instant, the entire crew was excited.
After more than two months of filming, the work finally came to a successful conclusion.
At this moment, Du Sheng couldn't help but feel a little excited.
If you stay here for too long, you will always feel a little lazy.
Finally finished!
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
Cai Jingsheng called the crew's photographer and asked Du Sheng and the main actors Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei to shoot several sets of final shots and record a video.
"These are all valuable materials for future behind-the-scenes footage."
Du Sheng removed her makeup with the help of a makeup artist and smiled nonchalantly.
"Director Cai, can you print a few photos for us then?"
Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei asked excitedly.
These are precious memories, and of course they have to treasure them.
Moreover, they had never seen Du Sheng play a middle-aged role, so they showed it to their good sisters when they got back.
"no problem."
Cai Jingsheng agreed with a smile, and then called out loudly:
"Where's the salute? Fire it quickly!"
Hong Kong people pay attention to omen when filming.
Whether it is the start or the end of filming, there is a set of procedures, which symbolizes great popularity and high box office ratings.
Boom!
The blast of fireworks marked the official end of the work of the crew of "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
Wang Jinhua also fulfilled her promise and treated the entire crew to a sumptuous seafood dinner that night.
After three rounds of drinking, You Dazhi smiled at Du Sheng who was sitting at the same table and said:
"I have a strong feeling that with your wonderful performance in The Twin Dragons, you will surely push TVB's ratings to new heights!
Even in terms of copyright and foreign distribution, it is estimated that it may catch up with "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Next time I want to invite you to star in a TV series, it will probably be extremely difficult!"
"Haha, of course."
Lin Feng, who was drinking beer, agreed with a smile:
"But if there is a chance, I still hope to work with Brother Sheng once, even if it's just for me to play a minor role."
Although Lin Feng is a rich second-generation, he knows his limits very well and will not offend anyone with his words.
Therefore, everyone has a good impression of Lin Feng.
As for the truthfulness of his words, no one took it seriously.
Because we are all adults, as long as what is said at the dinner table is not written down, it will all be laughed off.
"By the way, Ah Sheng."
Director Cai Jingsheng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up:
“What are your plans for your next play?
Director Zeng came to me yesterday and said there was a good script and asked if you wanted to work together again?"
Du Sheng's heart moved.
If Cai Jingsheng and You Dazhi work together again, the script will most likely be "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Also adapted from Huang Yi's work.
However, compared with "The Twins", "Backdraft" is slightly inferior in influence.
Although its performance was not bad, due to the previous success of "The Twins", it was obviously inappropriate to let Du Sheng star in "The Legend of Mir 2".
Of course, this thought cannot be revealed. He smiled and replied: "If there is a chance, I would like to continue to cooperate with TVB, but I still need to read the script first..."
Cai Jingsheng smiled and nodded.
Du Sheng’s current status is unmatched among the younger generation in China, and his popularity is comparable to that of the Four Heavenly Kings.
The other party has not only made a name for himself in the film industry, but has also won great awards at the Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards.
If he hadn't been so inexperienced, he would have had a chance to win the Best Actor award.
In contrast, the achievements in the television industry are even greater.
His images in "Legend of the Dragon Goddess", "Heavenly Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" are deeply loved by the audience, and he is expected to have a high chance of winning the Best Actor Award this year.
Not to mention, the other party is the boss and founder of Star Media, and there will definitely be many film and television scripts in front of him to choose from.
Therefore, Du Sheng is now at a special watershed.
Cai Jingsheng is very optimistic about Du Sheng, so he also hopes to continue his efforts:
"TVB and Star Media will work together again for the next drama. If they can retain the original cast of The Twin Dragons, it will be a real gimmick."
Du Sheng smiled, but did not agree immediately.
There is no problem for Star Media to cooperate with TVB again, as they complement each other well anyway.
But if you want him to continue playing the leading role, that would be something you would have to consider.
If it were in the past, he would have been happy to play the leading role in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
But now my schedule is full, and I even have to start arranging Hollywood movies, so time is an issue.
In addition, the previous life of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" obviously did not reach the level of a classic, and it was adapted beyond recognition and lost its original flavor.
If you want to know whether you will be filming a TV series next year, and which TV series you will be filming...
Du Sheng was quite interested in another drama, that is Zhang Da Hu Zi's "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Although he had some frictions with Zhang Da Huzi, these problems were nothing compared to interests.
By the way, some time ago, Zhang Da Huzi had contacted Yu Min in a roundabout way and asked him if he had any idea of acting in the show.
To say there isn't any seems unreasonable.
After all, classic TV series will be broadcast repeatedly on major TV stations.
This is the source of reputation and popularity.
Zhang Da Huzi's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes was still being rebroadcast by TV stations ten years after its first broadcast.
Especially in China, it was even rebroadcast in 2022.
Moreover, this drama means a lot to Liu Yifei and can be regarded as one of her representative cows.
Even if Du Sheng doesn't give face to the monk, he has to give face to the Buddha.
But the same thing goes, you have to try your best to make do with the time and schedule.
Of course, it's too early to say now.
The production has not started yet. According to Zhang Da Huzi's character, it will take at least half a year to select the cast and scout the locations.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Du Sheng sent Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei to the car.
Just as he was about to sit down, a long-lost familiar voice came.
coming!
Du Sheng was cheered up, having been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
[It has been detected that the filming of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons" has ended. Should we proceed with the lucky draw? ]
He had been waiting for this since the comprehensive evaluation breakthrough.
The purple item was by-the-book last time, so there should be a high chance of it being available this time.
Sure enough, as the thought came to mind, the rating was unexpectedly high.
[Statistics in progress... Host role compatibility 91%, role proportion 34.8%, completion 90.2%... Reward pool updated...]
Du Sheng was extremely satisfied with this.
According to this degree of fit, if the acting skills are improved to LV5, wouldn’t it be above 95%?
However, due to the lack of reputation, it is not its turn yet.
As for the proportion of screen time, if calculated based on the entire drama, it can be said to be quite high.
After all, "The Twins of Tang Dynasty" involves more than ninety characters and it has two protagonists, so it is impossible for Xu Ziling to be in the shot all the time.
[Settlement completed. The performance rating of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is: Excellent+
The host's current comprehensive evaluation is D, and the number of times you can draw a lottery per year is 1/15. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】
Du Sheng suppressed his joy and focused his attention on the lottery.
The most anticipated thing about this drama is naturally the various powerful martial arts.
"The Secret of Longevity", "The Seal of Immortality", "The Cihang Sword Canon", "The Plan of the Heavenly Demon", "The Hand Seal of the True Words", "The Eight Strikes of Sanshou", "The Atlas of the God of War", etc.
In addition, there are many treasures such as the Immortal Seal, the Evil Emperor Sword, the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass, the Longevity Pill, the Holy Relics, etc.
What high-quality items and skills can Xu Ziling draw?
In terms of martial arts, except for the Eight Secrets of Heavenly Sword, Cihang Sword Canon, Eight Strikes of Free-Hand Fighting, Record of the God of War, and Phantom Demon Body Technique, it is estimated that there is a chance to draw out the others.
For example, the "Nine Profound Methods" and "The Art of Chess and Swordsmanship" taught by Fu Jun'er.
Self-taught "The Secret of Longevity" and "Mantra Hand Seals".
Obtained from the "Immortal Seal" of the Evil King Shi Zhixuan and the "Sun-Changing Technique" of the Tyrant Sword Yue Shan.
There is also the "Eight Methods in the Well" martial arts created by Xu Ziling based on his own learning and practical experience.
In addition, there is also a chance to learn the "Sword Classic Colored Void Sword", "Heavenly Demon Method", "Dao Heart Demon Method" from Master Feixuan and Qianqian...
What Du Sheng wanted most was naturally "The Secret of Immortality", one of the four great books.
This was written in oracle bone script by Guangchengzi, the ancient teacher of Emperor Huangdi. It is an unfathomable Taoist treasure.
This technique is not only a holy book for healing, but it can also keep one young and long-lived after practicing it. If one can master it completely, one may even be able to glimpse the ultimate truth and break through the void.
That sounds awesome!
It even has some fantasy elements.
But it is indeed a martial arts technique!
Du Sheng did not expect anything profound like breaking through the void or gaining insight into the great Dao. Even staying young and living a long life was something he was extremely fascinated by.
With some hope, he silently said in his heart:
【lottery! 】
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the 19 cards on the roulette wheel spun rapidly counterclockwise.
