Chapter 494: The Great Leader Dies
The related incident has caused a huge uproar on the Internet.
More information about Yang Qiukui's crimes was uncovered.
As the behind-the-scenes promoter, Du Sheng is now traveling with the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" to Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and has arrived in Moscow for the next stop of the roadshow.
"Ah Sheng, hurry up and get in the car, the weather is too hot!"
After the trip ended that night, Du Sheng took Zhang Baizhi on their daily racing trip.
As soon as he finished checking the exterior of the car, he discovered that Zhang Baizhi was almost unbearably hot.
The temperature today is extremely high, so hot that people feel like they are about to melt.
Sweat dripped down her forehead and her breathing became rapid.
"Ah Sheng, hurry up and get in the car. It's too hot to bear!"
Zhang Baizhi couldn't help but urge Du Sheng again.
Seeing her in so much pain, Du Sheng couldn't bear it, so he immediately opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
"what!"
Zhang Baizhi let out a cry of surprise, her body curled up involuntarily, she bit her lips and frowned.
The interior space of her beloved car was relatively small. Once Du Sheng sat in, the entire car was almost filled, and he inadvertently squeezed Zhang Baizhi.
"Ahhh, Ah Sheng, slow down, this road is too bumpy!"
It was originally just a rugged path, but it made Zhang Baizhi feel extremely panicked.
In desperation, Du Sheng had to slow down.
But then again, this path is indeed not easy to walk on!
Fortunately, Du Sheng had skilled driving skills and the car did not break down.
Thirty minutes later, both of them returned home satisfied after their swim.
I don’t know if it was because I was driving too fast just now, but Zhang Baizhi was sweating all over and her feet were trembling.
I guess he was scared.
Du Sheng chuckled, and seeing that there were no paparazzi around, he simply carried her out of the car and returned to the hotel.
You can see that this girl is really tired.
After a gentle massage and bath, I actually fell asleep.
"With this little amount of exercise, you want to try extreme challenges? It's not fun!"
Du Sheng shook his head, carried the woman back to the bed and covered her with a blanket.
During the long night, he opened the website and took a quick look.
As expected, it was still all gossip and scandals related to Yang Yankui and Xu Xiyuan.
Among them, the attractive photos of this couple's daughter in Japan were directly pushed to the top of the hot search list by the melon-eating brother.
Even the trending search about Zhu Xiaotian hugging Li Bingbing, kissing her madly and entering the room was suppressed by it.
I have to say that the tastes of those old drivers on the Internet are indeed picky.
"Yang Qunkui cursed Du Sheng and said he would die. Was he so angry that he had a heart attack and was hospitalized?"
Du Sheng looked a little strange when he saw this insignificant news.
Seeing that the hospital address was being staked out by paparazzi, he narrowed his eyes even more.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 19:52.
Then he searched again.
The distance from Modu to Bay City is less than 800 kilometers, with a direct flight at 21:10 and an economy class fare of 948 yuan.
Du Sheng stroked his chin and pondered. Seeing that the woman was sleeping soundly, he straightened his clothes and stood up.
.........
Bay City Hospital, around 10 p.m.
After learning about the situation, Jin Xiuli rushed to the ward.
When I pushed open the door of the ward, I saw Yang Qiukui lying on the bed with a pale face, wearing an oxygen mask and an IV. He looked nothing like the ferocious look he had yesterday.
"Mr. Yang, how do you feel..."
Yang Qiukui forced himself to open his eyes, and when he saw it was Jin Xiuli, he closed his eyes again.
Xu Xiyuan, who was standing by, pulled Jin Xiuli and motioned for her to follow him out of the ward.
"Gandia has high blood pressure and a heart attack. Now she just wants to be quiet and doesn't want to see anyone."
"Hey, how did it become like this?"
Jin Xiuli sighed.
"It's all those rumors! Du Sheng is so despicable!"
Xu Xiyuan gnashed his teeth as he spoke of this:
"We wanted to cooperate with him and were even willing to lower our stance and shake hands and make peace, but he stabbed us in the back!"
Previously, because she was in the wrong and wanted to reduce the impact of the "beating incident", she had been avoiding confrontation with Du Sheng.
But now Yang Qiukui was so angry with Du Sheng, and seeing that Da Xia was about to fall, how could she bear it any longer.
He wished he could stab Du Sheng with three or six cuts himself!
Jin Xiuli also saw those reports. She didn't expect Du Sheng's counterattack to be so swift and fierce.
The reputation that Yang Xuankui had accumulated over the years has now suffered a serious blow due to these accusations.
Especially at the critical moment when he was trying to clean up his image and enter the officialdom, Du Sheng's direct exposure of his dirty past undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow.
The path to officialdom is probably cut off.
After all, citizens can vote for anyone, so why vote for a dirty dog?
Jin Xiuli listened to Xu Xiyuan's complaints but did not respond.
She had already advised everyone to sit down and talk. Wouldn't it be good to make money by filming a TV series in peace?
Why did you have to provoke Du Sheng in the first place?
In fact, what she is most worried about now is whether this incident will affect "Itazura na Kiss".
Fortunately, Star Media had previously kicked Badda TV out, and it was right not to choose Xu Xiyuan as the female lead.
After all, a woman who is so good at playing with men has suffered a huge blow in Taiwan, not to mention her popularity has plummeted in the mainland.
If Yang Yunkui fails to help Xu Xi again and loses the protection of the big tree, he will probably sink.
No wonder she was so anxious.
Jin Xiuli thought for a moment and asked:
"Xiyuan, what is Mr. Yang's real condition? What did the doctor say?"
Xu Xiyuan shook his head:
"The doctor said that all indicators are still normal. It's mainly because I'm exhausted and need to rest."
Jin Xiuli nodded, it seems that this big tree cannot fall down yet.
But now that public opinion is surging, how can Yang Qiukui rest in peace?
Xu Xiyuan was indeed anxious and said:
"Sister Jin, you must help us this time."
Jin Xiuli speaks to people in a human way:
"As long as I can help, I won't refuse."
Xu Xiyuan was worried:
"These rumors are doing great damage to Gandia's reputation. If we don't resolve these negative opinions, Gandia's health will not be able to recover.
Mr. Jin, you have a wide network of contacts. Can you explain it to TVBS and newspapers?"
Jin Xiuli looked embarrassed:
"Xiyuan, if I can help, I will do my best.
But this time the matter is not that simple, and it has already spread, it cannot be calmed down by simply doing PR with a few media outlets..."
She would be a fool to agree to such a thankless task.
What's more, Yang Qiukui almost pointed at her and cursed her at that time. How despicable must she be to show up?
She even wanted to say in her heart, you deserve it!
The corridor outside the ward was dimly lit and quiet.
Only the occasional beeping sound from instruments broke the silence of the night.
While the two were chatting, a middle-aged doctor in a white coat slowly pushed a medical cart forward with various medical equipment on it.
He was wearing a mask and walked steadily and calmly past several bodyguards on guard.
Their wary eyes rested on him for a few seconds before moving away.
However, just as the doctor was about to reach the ward, he accidentally bumped into Xu Xiyuan who was talking to Jin Xiuli at the door.
"Ouch! You don't have eyes!"
Xu Xiyuan staggered after being knocked down and immediately started cursing.
He was already full of anger with nowhere to vent, so he didn't care who the other person was.
The middle-aged doctor stopped and looked up, his eyes calm as water:
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I was just doing a routine checkup on the patient."
Xu Xiyuan frowned and looked him up and down:
"Didn't we check it an hour ago?"
The middle-aged doctor explained:
"The patient's condition is rather special. Director Liu ordered that his blood pressure and electrocardiogram be measured every hour."
The bodyguard walked up to him as usual, looked at his work badge, and turned over the cart.
Seeing the bodyguard nod, Xu Xiyuan waved his hand and said:
"go in."
The moment the doctor entered, Xu Xiyuan felt a slight numbness coming from his shoulder.
But she thought it was just an illusion and didn't take it too seriously.
After entering the ward, the middle-aged doctor saw Yang Qinkui sleeping soundly on the bed.
He first scanned the data on the monitor, then looked at the oxygen mask worn by Yang Chuankui to confirm that everything was normal.
Xu Xiyuan and his bodyguard followed in and asked a few questions casually.
The middle-aged doctor answered familiarly and took out a stethoscope to listen to Yang Qiukui's chest.
After a while, he nodded to Xu Xiyuan and pushed the cart out.
Jin Xiuli's eyes left the calm figure and said to Xu Xiyuan:
"Xiyuan, it's too late today. I'll come to visit Mr. Yang tomorrow."
"What about what we just discussed..." Xu Xiyuan was still a little unwilling and asked another question.
Jin Xiuli kept smiling and said:
"I'll go back and talk to my boss about this. Maybe things will turn around tomorrow."
I don’t know if she has a bad mouth.
There was indeed a turning point the next day!
"Breaking news! Yang Qinkui suffered an acute myocardial infarction, and a great leader fell"
"Breaking news! Xu Xiyuan was upset and called a party in the early morning, and it seems that he was too excited and mentally ill!"
Jin Xiuli sat in the office, flipping through the newspapers she had just received.
There was little real evidence for these reports, and the crooked illustrations on each page were quite blurry.
She didn't understand anyway, so she read it carefully for a long time. She finally saw a clue at the end. The whole article was written with two words:
absurd!
Didn’t Yang Qiukui recover from the critical condition last night? How come he suddenly suffered an acute heart infarction?
So she found it quite unbelievable.
There is also Xu Xiyuan’s report.
Although this guy is very playful and can even play seesaw with the diapers, how could he still be in the mood to gather and have a party in such a situation last night?
She said she ignored me!
But when I think about the previous reports about Xu Xiyuan having a great time at open-air parties, this seems a bit reasonable?
After all, when people are angry, they need to vent.
Just when Jin Xiuli wanted to find someone to ask about the real situation and whether the third-rate tabloids were making up stories.
"Boss Jin, Bada Media is inviting us to dinner. Should we follow the custom?"
The secretary was holding an invitation in his hand, and was quite excited while speaking.
Jin Xiuli: “…”
Yes, the invitations have been sent.
It’s worthy of its name, Bada Speed. No one can compete with it when it comes to treating people to a meal.
But for some reason, Jin Xiuli felt a little regretful, but also felt relieved for no reason.
Without external resistance, the drama "Itazura na Kiss" should be a sure success.
I have to say, this time Star Media is like Qin Shi Huang touching the electric wires, winning without doing anything.
.........
Du Sheng didn’t know whether Qin Shihuang touched the electric wires.
But he was a little numb.
Although Yang Qiukui's incident has come to an end, he has not been idle, and the roadshow of "House of Flying Daggers" is still going on.
The album "Yi Sheng You Ni" is on the way to breaking through 200 million sales in Asia, and the three major operators are all actively inquiring about it. It should not be a problem for it to be on the ringtone chart.
But you also need to take time out to participate in their promotional activities.
Yang Mi was admitted to Beijing Film Academy as she wished. As her sponsor, senior brother and boss, he had to express his gratitude to her.
Liu Yifei and several other girls are already thinking about the celebration plan, and they have to make time for it no matter how busy they are.
In addition, the box office of "Kill Bill 2" exceeded 3 million, and Quentin brought his team to Asia, so he also had to find time to cooperate.
The upcoming drama "Full House" is also being prepared for broadcast. Lee Yi-xin and Song Hye-kyo come over from time to time to ask for favors, and I have to keep them company as well.
So busy that I was really numb during this period.
After this busy trip, time unknowingly came to June 6th.
At night, the lights in the capital are dazzling.
The Beijing Gymnasium in the city center was already crowded with people and bustling with activity.
Today is the premiere night of the movie "House of Flying Daggers".
Many movie fans and media gathered here early, looking forward to seeing this highly anticipated martial arts masterpiece.
This premiere not only attracted a large number of domestic and foreign media to report, but also due to the importance of the venue and the appeal of the film itself, the tickets became extremely valuable.
The red carpet area was packed with people, flash lights were flashing one after another, and reporters were shouting the names of the stars, hoping to capture every wonderful moment.
Director Zhang Yimou looked particularly energetic in a black suit and red tie.
In addition to big names in the circle such as Zhang Weiping and Jiang Zhiqiang, many of those who accompany him are well-known leaders.
Zhang Yimou smiled, waved to both sides, and stopped from time to time to accept media interviews.
Du Sheng and Liu Dehua appeared on the red carpet together. Both of them were dressed in ancient costumes, like characters from a movie.
One was gentle and elegant, the other was dignified and decent. The two walked to the center of the red carpet, attracting bursts of screams.
Movie fans shouted their names to express their love and support for them.
One fan excitedly said:
"I've been waiting for this movie for a long time, and finally today is the day!"
Another fan was very excited and shouted:
"Brother Hua, Brother Sheng, you guys are awesome! I love you!"
Media reporters also rushed to ask questions, hoping to get more information about the movie.
A reporter from Yangshi asked:
"Director Zhang, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"
Zhang Yimou replied calmly:
"I hope this movie can bring a wonderful audio-visual feast to the audience. The box office is not the most important thing. What matters is that the audience likes this movie."
A reporter from South China Daily jokingly asked:
"Mr. Du, Director Zhang just said that during the filming, you, as the action director, had several 'falling out' with him?"
Du Sheng laughed and said:
"That's too much! The movie hasn't even been released yet, is Director Zhang going to settle the score?"
As expected, Zhang Yimou next to him couldn't help but laugh and scold:
"You're talking bad about me behind my back again, aren't you?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and they all knew what was going on.
After all, in the previous roadshows, Zhang Yimou praised Du Sheng's action direction skills and corrected his mistakes several times.
The fact that they are joking with each other now shows that they have a good relationship.
Zhang Baizhi then showed up, and her appearance brought the atmosphere to a climax.
She wore a dress that combined modern and classical elements, which was elegant yet domineering.
Facing the camera, she smiled sweetly.
"Ms. Zhang Baizhi, do you have any special feelings about this cooperation?"
Reporters rushed to ask questions.
Zhang Baizhi smiled slightly:
“I feel very honored to be able to be involved in such a big project.”
At this point, she winked at Du Sheng:
“In addition, I have benefited a lot from working with Director Zhang, Brother Hua, A Sheng and others!”
As several leading actors walked across the red carpet one by one, the premiere finally entered its final stage.
Inside the theater, the audience couldn't wait for the movie to begin.
When the lights dimmed and the title of "House of Flying Daggers" appeared on the screen, the entire theater erupted in thunderous applause.
Zhang Baizhi was sitting next to Du Sheng and was also infected by the atmosphere. She murmured with a little excitement:
“This movie is expected to break box office records.”
She was truly shocked.
I never expected that the domestic relevant circles would give such strong support to this film.
It dominated the entire summer season.
Du Sheng smiled slightly:
"There are no opponents in the same period, and no matching opponents, so there are indeed some opportunities."
He was not joking.
This summer, not to mention whether there are any Chinese blockbusters that dare to be released at the same time, even imported blockbusters dare not face it.
The imported blockbuster "Troy", which was originally scheduled to be released at the same time as "House of Flying Daggers", was also moved forward by 10 days.
After "House of Flying Daggers" is released tomorrow, theaters will clear all other movies on their screening schedule except it.
There is only this one movie on this day!
Although some movies will be scheduled for release later, they will not be able to compete with it.
It can be said that this July belongs to it.
The heat from the premiere night of "House of Flying Daggers" has not yet dissipated.
The next morning, major mainstream media couldn't wait to put this cultural event on the front page.
From traditional paper media to emerging digital platforms, almost all media are occupied by news about this movie.
Traditional media such as Beijing Evening News and Southern Metropolis Daily reported the grand premiere with large pages.
Portal websites such as Xinchu and Tengxun even pushed it to the front page headlines.
[House of Flying Daggers: Zhang Yimou continues his martial arts dream, and stars gather together to create brilliance! ]
Such titles can be found everywhere.
"Yesterday, Zhang Yimou's masterpiece House of Flying Daggers was released, sparking a warm response from the audience.
With its exquisite pictures, gripping plot and outstanding cast, the film has become one of the most anticipated films of the year."
A well-known newspaper reported this.
In the TV news, the reporter interviewed the audience who just walked out of the theater:
“What do you think of this movie?” The audience answered excitedly:
"It's simply amazing! Especially the performances of Du Sheng, Liu Dehua and Zhang Baizhi are so wonderful! I will definitely recommend this movie to my friends."
Major news websites and social media platforms have pushed reports about "House of Flying Daggers" to the top of the hot search list.
Whether it is Tieba, Renren or blog platforms, you can see heated discussions about this movie everywhere.
The audience's reactions to the film came in like a tide.
“I finally got the tickets, and I was really shocked after watching House of Flying Daggers!
It is worthy of being a summer blockbuster, with beautiful pictures and ups and downs in the plot.
Especially Du Sheng, his fighting moves are clean and neat, full of power, and make people's blood boil! "
Another user who calls himself a "martial arts fan" left a message on Renren:
"After watching House of Flying Daggers this morning, I found that Hua Ge's acting skills are getting better and better, and every look is full of stories.
Especially his emotional scenes in the film, which were smooth and full of tension, gave me goose bumps!"
"Du Sheng is worthy of being the world boxing champion. His action design is unique and every fight scene is exciting to watch."
"I heard that Brother Sheng also helped correct some of the loopholes and errors in this movie..."
