"brush!--"

Du Sheng raised his hand and swung the short knife, which was sharp and whistled out.

Hong Yubao spat out his cigar, stood up and kicked straight at the handle of the dagger.

Du Sheng launched the attack without saying a word.

He gave a quick side kick and headed straight for Hong Yubao.

Hong Yubao quickly turned sideways, blocked with his arm, and at the same time threw a backhand punch at Du Sheng's abdomen.

Du Sheng dodged flexibly and then swept his leg low, trying to trip his opponent.

Hong Yubao was huge in stature but extremely agile. He jumped hard and dodged the attack.

Du Sheng growled and rushed forward again.

The two men fought back and forth in the nightclub hall, using fists and kicks, and every contact was accompanied by the sound of metal colliding.

Du Sheng is agile, strong, and swift, with each move carrying the determination to kill.

Hong Yubao, on the other hand, responded calmly thanks to his huge body and rich fighting experience.

The two men fought back and forth, punching each other, and the scene was extremely intense.

"Ah Sheng, your punching rhythm and burst are great, but your persistence in justice and your anger towards Wang Bao are still a little off!"

Ye Weixin reminded through the intercom.

"Brother Bao, pay attention to your eyes. From the arrogance at the beginning to the stubborn resistance, there is a hint of panic..."

Du Sheng kept a straight face and said nothing. He kicked quickly and then punched Hong Yubao hard on the chin.

Hong Yubao's head tilted suddenly and he almost fell down, but he immediately steadied himself and threw an elbow with his backhand, hitting Du Sheng in the ribs.

Du Sheng groaned, but did not retreat. Instead, he increased the speed of his attack.

Every attack of his seemed to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

As time went by, Hong Yubao was breathing heavily and gradually felt the pressure brought by Du Sheng.

Their expressions, eyes and movements all show the inner world of the characters vividly.

"You can't beat me, damn policeman!"

Hong Yubao roared, trying to overwhelm the opponent with his momentum.

Du Sheng pressed forward step by step, with every punch carrying the determination to kill.

"Your time is over, Wang Bao!"

He said coldly, with a determined gleam in his eyes.

Finally, after a fierce life-and-death struggle, Du Sheng found Hong Xibao's weakness and hit him hard in the chest with a heavy punch, and Hong Xibao fell to the ground.

Just when Du Sheng thought victory was in sight, Hong Yubao suddenly used his last bit of strength to grab Du Sheng's ankle and drag him to the ground...

"Cut!"

Ye Weixin shouted and the filming stopped temporarily.

He watched the images on the monitor with satisfaction and praised the actors' performance.

"Ah Sheng, Brother Bao, the two of you work so well together, this fight scene is simply perfect!"

Ye Weixin praised.

Du Sheng and Hong Yubao wiped the sweat from their foreheads and smiled at each other.

"Sir Ye, thank you for your praise. I'd like to trouble everyone to get off work overtime tonight and provide a midnight snack."

Seeing that everyone was a little tired, Du Sheng smiled and encouraged them.

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became lively.

"Next is the last scene, the Hong Kong version of the ending. Are you ready?"

After a short rest, Ye SIR picked up the conductor's baton and asked.

"OK, let's get started!"

The script supervisor answered easily.

Following the director's order, the filming continued.

Wang Bao pushed Ma Jun down the stairs. After falling, Ma Jun happened to hit the car that Wang Bao's wife and son were riding in downstairs, resulting in the death of Wang Bao's wife and son.

Wang Bao witnessed this scene with his own eyes. His grief-stricken expression moved everyone present.

This ending is full of drama and tragedy, and further deepens the theme of the film.

The former ending is for mainland China review, while the latter is for international promotion.

"Cut! Very good, that's all for today's shoot."

Ye SIR announced loudly:

"Everyone, clean up. Boss Du is treating us to a midnight snack!"

The entire crew burst into warm applause, bringing this wonderful filming to a successful conclusion.

After the filming ended that night, Du Sheng couldn't just leave them alone because Fan Bingbing came to visit the set and brought Zhang Baizhi along.

But there are dozens of people in the crew, so it is difficult to take on both roles.

He simply gave the money to director Ye Weixin and asked him to help arrange it.

Then he took Zhang Baizhi, Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing and other acquaintances to a nearby hotpot restaurant for hotpot.

The cobblestone streets in Central are a microcosm of Hong Kong's urban culture. Many movies such as "Dragon and Phoenix" and "Infernal Affairs" have been filmed here.

At this time, the Hong Kong circle still has tens of thousands of practitioners.

During this period, three film crews have stayed here, so it is quite lively.

A group of people in the circle who came to have dinner nearby after the show just whispered to each other when they saw Du Sheng.

Although most of them are martial artists or minor actors, they are used to seeing celebrities and have long lost their enthusiasm for chasing stars.

They have the dream of becoming a star, but most of them just want to get by.

Seeing Du Sheng, Fan Bingbing and others at this moment, some people even felt that this group of mainlanders were here to steal their jobs.

So even more indifferent.

At this time, the TV in the store was on, and the tenth episode of TVB's "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was playing.

The general plot is that Xu Ziling and Kankan are trapped in the snow and ice, and it is an ambiguous scene where love turns from hatred.

When people in the store saw Kanan, barefoot and with her white back exposed, ready to sacrifice herself, there was a commotion among them.

The beauty in this scene is so charming!
"Hey, look over there! Is that Kanan and Xu Ziling?"

A young actor pointed at Du Sheng's box and exclaimed.

In an instant, the eyes of twenty or thirty diners in the restaurant all turned over.

It was because the waiter had just brought in the food and the door of the box was not completely closed.

"The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", starring Du Sheng, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei and others, premiered simultaneously on TVB+Blueberry Channel+Modou TV last week.

Today happens to be the broadcast time of the 10th episode, and it happens to be the scene of Kanan showing her ambiguous devotion.

Even if Fan Bingbing had a good conscience, she would still feel a little embarrassed to be commented on in public.

She held Du Sheng's arm, looking somewhat charming and shy:
"It's a bit embarrassing. Why this part? Everyone is looking at me."

Du Sheng patted her arm and comforted her:

"It's okay, don't worry about it, just eat and move on."

He had previously suggested going to Longxianglou for dinner, but the girl said that she hadn't eaten hotpot for a long time, so it was reasonable to have a meal nearby, so being recognized was expected.

But there were no paparazzi around, and with Wu Jing and others sitting with him, it wasn't a big deal.

Zhang Baizhi, who was sitting on the other side of him, didn't care about it, but smiled:

"Your drama has been very popular recently. The TVB ratings on the first day reached 34%. It is normal to receive attention."

There is one thing she hasn't said yet, which is that people in Hong Kong are more free to speak their mind and cannot control how others gossip.

About 60% of the store's customers are men.

When they saw this delicious scene on TV, they all put down their chopsticks and glanced at Du Sheng and his group from time to time.

Although they recognized the protagonists of the play dining nearby, they did not go up to disturb them.

If it were somewhere else, I'm afraid I would have been surrounded and photographed.

Of course, although people here will not blindly chase stars, they can’t help but feel jealous or envious.

Especially under the influence of alcohol, some people become even more outspoken.

"Apart from his handsome looks, Xu Ziling's acting skills are just average in my opinion."

"No wonder TVB is declining. They actually chose mainland artists to play the leading roles?"

Wu Jing paused with his chopsticks, and seeing that Du Sheng didn't say anything, he continued to enjoy the food.

"This kind of ambiguous scene is boring. It doesn't even make me excited even when I'm lying down. I might as well watch some Japanese anime action movies."

Still in the side box, a few drunk people in the circle were chatting, using the local's unique obscene language.

"I really don't know why the actress who plays Wan Wan got the role of a TVB heroine."

"If there is no hidden rules in this, I will never believe it even if you kill me."

"And there's Du Sheng, who was originally just a martial artist, making fifty yuan a day. If he hadn't hooked up with a female producer, he would have been worse off than us."

"..."

These people were obviously drunk and jealous, or they were just plain disgusting.

After all, Fan Bingbing is not from Hong Kong, so she can't be as calm as Zhang Baizhi.

Du Sheng smiled and patted her shoulder, saying:

"If a cat or dog wants to bite you, you won't bite them back."

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the open box over there, where there were nine people.

Three of them were of relatively large build, while the remaining six were of medium build.

There were several bottles of white wine on their table, and everyone's face was red from the alcohol, obviously they had drunk a lot.

This made Du Sheng shake his head.

He really didn't want to argue with these drunks. After all, as a public figure, if he got into a conflict with them, he would probably be on the headlines the next day.

However, this group of people kept using rude and foul language, ruining their dining mood.

Before Du Sheng could take any action, Wu Jing had already stood up.

The boss's daughter, who came in with the dishes, noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to ease the situation:
"Brother Sheng, don't be angry, I am your loyal fan... I especially love watching your dramas."

After that, she whispered to Wu Jing:
"Don't be impulsive. These people are just drunk and idle all day. Don't bother with them."

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

He looked at the nine people in the box over there and said calmly:

“If you want to discuss my TV show, feel free.

If you want to comment on me, that’s fine, but please don’t insult girls.”

Fan Bingbing gently pulled his arm, shook his head and whispered:
"Or, let's eat somewhere else."

She had seen everyone in the crew eating supper at a roadside stall before, so in order not to give people the impression of being a big shot, she suggested going along with the crowd.

Now it seems a bit too low-key.

Wu Jing clenched his fists and stood beside Du Sheng, obviously wanting to vent his anger.

Du Sheng glanced at him sideways and said with a smile:
"You're going to be hanging around here in the future, so forget it."

Wu Jing opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the person on the other end became drunk and exploded after hearing what Du Sheng said.

They all stood up and cursed fiercely:

"Why, do you really think you can do anything just because you're a little famous?"

"Come on, you mother! Believe it or not, I will beat you till your teeth are all over the ground."

"..."

Dirty words came like a tide, and Du Sheng frowned.

But he did not want to implicate innocent people, so he planned to take Zhang Baizhi, Fan Bingbing and others out first.

The group of people thought he was afraid and laughed at him unscrupulously.

"You dare to call yourself an Asian boxing star? You are a cowardly gangster."

"He is indeed a gigolo, a coward."

Du Sheng escorted the group to the door and suddenly asked:
“Who has cash on them?”

Zhang Baizhi guessed what he was going to do, and took out two thousand Hong Kong dollars with a smile:

"Two thousand is enough, just don't break too many."

Fan Bingbing held his hand and said nervously:
"Ah Sheng, they are outnumbered, let's go."

"It's okay. I'm just trying to reason with them."

Du Sheng glanced around to make sure there were no cameras, paparazzi or reporters lurking.

Because the shooting tonight was not exciting enough and I still feel a little unsatisfied, my hands are really itching.

He turned and went into the box over there, kindly closing the door.

Wu Jing, also young and energetic, followed closely behind.

But before he could open the door, he heard the sound of broken dishes, overturned tables and chairs, and screams of pain coming from inside.

When Wu Jing went in, he saw Du Sheng had finished explaining his point and was slowly turning around to walk out.

In just a moment, several people were lying on the ground groaning.

The remaining three people completely lost their previous arrogance and were now silent as a cicada, like turtles hiding in their shells.

Two of them were completely sobered up by the truth and covered their red and swollen cheeks in shock.

Although everyone in the circle knows that Du Sheng is good in the ring, no one expected his actual combat ability to be so strong!
In less than two seconds, six people were knocked down with three punches and two kicks. The efficiency was simply amazing.

Fortunately, we were in a private room and no one else could notice it.

Otherwise, the scene just now would probably have caused a wave of heat.

It was precisely because there was no possibility of leaving any evidence that Du Sheng dared to convince others with his virtue...

Without evidence, it will be useless even if someone reports it to the media.

Fans will naturally fight back against the media with 'malicious slander'.

Zhang Baizhi was not surprised by these things, and even walked to the cashier counter and smiled at the boss's daughter:

"Is two thousand enough to compensate for the loss of the chairs?"

The boss's daughter was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses:
"Enough compensation, enough compensation!"

After Du Sheng left, the boss's daughter murmured to herself:

"So handsome. If there was a man who protected me like this, I would definitely marry him! Woohoo."

……

Du Sheng closed the door of the box and said to Wu Jing and the others:

"Let's go and eat somewhere else."

After they went out, Fan Bingbing nervously grabbed his hand and whispered:
"Ah Sheng, there won't be any problem, right?"

Wu Jing wanted to say something, but Du Sheng held his shoulder. He then understood what Du Sheng meant and shut up.

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"I just went in and reasoned with them, what could be the problem?"

Fan Bingbing looked him up and down, making some guesses:

"Just now I seemed to hear screams and the sound of bottles exploding. Did they really start a fight?"

Du Sheng pulled her forward and said with a smile:
"Look at me, I'm calm and collected, how can I look like I've been in a fight?"

Zhang Baizhi smiled and took the initiative to pull Fan Bingbing forward:

"There's a shabu-shabu restaurant over there. I haven't eaten there for a long time. Let's go try it."

Since I didn’t eat anything just now and I was still hungry, I decided to change to another restaurant.

This store is more upscale and has a sense of class separation.

Coincidentally, the TV in the store was also playing The Twin Dragons.

Guests at several tables in the hall were enjoying delicious food while watching the show.

When Du Sheng and his group came in, they immediately attracted a lot of attention...

But unlike the previous store, customers here even came over happily and asked for photos.

"Du Sheng, your portrayal of Xu Ziling is so cool!"

"I won't sell this autographed photo of the Sniper God for less than 5. I'm rich!"

"..."

Du Sheng and his colleagues met the customers' requests one by one, and it took about ten minutes to complete the group photo.

After having supper, he brought the two girls back to the hotel and began to teach them real kung fu in an easy-to-understand way.

As Zhang Baizhi and Fan Bingbing had been discussing certain techniques of Crane Fist for a long time, they had wasted their time without making much progress. So tonight's discussion was destined to take at least two hours.

It is true that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and the joy is endless.

.........

At the same time, with the popularity of "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", there are many related reports online and offline.

Because the TVB ratings for the latest episode have reached 36.2%, it is expected to break the annual highest ratings record.

Blueberry Channel and Modu TV also opened high at 10.6% and 9.8% respectively.

Although it is not as good as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", this data is enough to crush everything on local channels where the general viewership is below 5%.

According to Zhong Zhen not long ago, six local TV stations, Taiwan TVBS, Japan Fuji TV, Korea KBS and other TV stations have sent copyright negotiations.

In addition to Star Media achieving another success, fans were also overjoyed.

For example, the number of fans following Du Sheng’s homepage on Renren.com has increased from 260 million to 380 million.

This also means that the number of Renren members has increased significantly again.

The most obvious example is that since the broadcast of "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", there have been thousands of posts on the homepage every day.

These posts are either discussing Du Sheng’s acting skills, praising his looks, or talking about how he hooked up with a few wealthy ladies when he went abroad last time…

Judging from the heated discussions on the entire internet, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the number one young actor in mainland China.

Even the popular 'Four Heavenly Kings' now have to sigh that the young are formidable.

In late September, after rushing to finish most of the scenes, Du Sheng had to leave Hong Kong again.

Because the headquarters of Star Media has finally been completed, the moving-in ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow.

Last week, Zhong Zhen arranged for people to send invitation letters to important guests, partners, media reporters and all employees in advance.

In order to expand the company's influence and visibility, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony in addition to the press conference and a tour of the new headquarters.

The relocation of the headquarters is an important milestone. As one of the founders, Du Sheng has to go back to participate no matter how busy he is.

In addition, after finishing this, I have to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

The reason why Star Media has its headquarters in Hengdian Film and Television Industrial Park is that in addition to the perfect film and television industry infrastructure and preferential policies,

The biggest reason is that this area is adjacent to a prosperous film, television and entertainment industry ecosystem.

For example, equipment that integrates high-tech studios, post-production, and work-life support functions can facilitate the provision of post-production services such as editing, special effects, dubbing, and color grading for film and television works.

The nearly 2000-square-meter independent office building and supporting facilities at the Star Media headquarters are sufficient to expand various business areas.

After taking senior executives from major TV stations, the CEO of Ruanxing Technology and others to visit the headquarters, Du Sheng was finally able to take a break after being busy for nearly a whole day.

But before he could have a meal with Fan Bingbing and Jia Jingwen, another phone call came in.

After listening to this, Du Sheng seemed to be thinking about something. He let the two girls go ahead and drove to Qingyi Tea House himself.
