Chapter 519 Please restrain yourself!

At this time, Liu Shishi had just finished taking a bath.
She came out of the bathroom wearing a cute pink robe.

When she heard the relevant discussions, she couldn't help but look at Du Sheng:
"Brother Sheng, you still have to run around, so you don't have time to join the group, right?"

As far as she knows, what follows is a period of frequent film festivals and music awards.

In terms of film and television dramas alone, Du Sheng has at least four works shortlisted.

Not to mention, there are rumors online that he is about to acquire Phoenix TV, which will definitely require an investment of time.

"As for time, we can still find it if we squeeze it in."

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"At least, I can take care of it while you're studying and training."

Zhang Da Huzi usually has to undergo intensive training for his plays, but there are always exceptions.

And based on Du Sheng’s past performance, all he needs to do is to do some running-in in advance.

"Cousin, you've been out all day, so your skills might be rusty."

Liu Yifei snorted:
"Shi Shi, Sister Yan, Xiao Mi and I insist on practicing Crane Fist every day. If we continue like this, sooner or later we will team up to crush you!"

"You little girls think you can defeat me?"

Du Sheng's mouth twitched, not knowing how to complain.

He gently pressed the Yongquan point on Yang Mi's feet.

The girl immediately let out a coquettish cry, as if she was vulnerable.

Liu Yifei was somewhat speechless. She patted Du Sheng lightly and turned to Yang Mi and said:
"Xiao Mi, please control yourself for a moment. Don't embarrass our Girls' Generation again with what you just said!"

Yang Mi's pretty face flushed a little, and she said with a little bit of anger:
"Xixi, you said it lightly. Let Brother Sheng give you a massage later and see how you can control yourself."

Liu Shishi sat down next to him and said with a smile:

"Xixi always shouts the loudest. Her problem is not whether she can control herself, but that she simply cannot control herself!"

"Humph, you are the one who is most diligent in giving your cousin the tip-off. Don't think I don't know!"

Every time they planned to play a prank on Du Sheng, they always ended in failure. Liu Yifei got angry whenever she thought of this little traitor.

She didn't care that Liu Shishi was wearing a thin nightgown and immediately pounced on her.

The room was immediately filled with playful laughter.

Du Sheng massaged several girls for a while and enjoyed their massage service before returning to his room to rest.

The next morning, the five people went to Wangfujing Bookstore with the team to attend the launch ceremony and signing event.

Producer Sun Bin had already arrived at the scene. When he saw Du Sheng and his group arriving, he went forward to greet them personally.

After listening to the attendance arrangements, Du Sheng saw that there was still time, so he simply took out the script and started to review it with Girls' Generation.

Thanks to their huge popularity, hundreds of fans came to the event.

The lively and bustling scene is more than enough for reporting and publicity.

Looking at the long queues at the signing ceremony, the organizers were quite satisfied.

I feel that it was totally worth spending a lot of money and connections to invite Du Sheng and Girls' Generation.

Of course, the final result will depend on tonight’s recording.

There will also be grand singing competitions and performances to showcase the regional culture and city charm.

However, judging by the current popularity, it is not an exaggeration to call it a condensed and essential version of the mini Spring Festival Gala.

After a busy period, time unknowingly came to the afternoon.

Du Sheng needs to sing two songs, namely "Has Anyone Told You" and "Xiao Yao Tan", which is considered the finale.

As for the collaboration between Girls' Generation and TVXQ, given their familiarity with the song "Destiny," neither side mentioned it again.

The girls were very happy about this, after all, they had to prepare two songs today and needed to rehearse.

There is no extra time to adjust.

In addition to singing the theme song of the show with the host, they also have to prepare the warm-up song "Invisible Wings".

The recording started that afternoon.

On the other side of the stage, the four members of Girls' Generation slowly appeared.

Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi stood in the center, Tang Yan was on their left, and Yang Mi was on the right.

The four girls wore carefully selected gorgeous dresses tonight, and their images created by the team's professional stylists shone under the spotlight.

Whether in appearance and temperament or singing skills, Liu Yifei and the other three clearly surpassed other performers on the same stage.

But this did not come as a surprise.

After all, Girls' Generation is now the most popular top girl singing group in the country.

Such superior performance was expected.

After Girls' Generation finished singing the first chorus, they moved to the center of the stage and sang together with Qiong Qing and the other two female hosts.

The six people performed the theme song of "Happy Journey to the East" together, and their wonderful performance won warm applause from the audience.

After the performance, Girls' Generation sang their signature song "Invisible Wings".

Afterwards, they gave a brief interview and read out some messages from fans outside the venue.

It has to be said that after this period of intensive publicity and frequent performances, their singing skills are at least one-third better than at the beginning of the year.

Du Sheng was not surprised by this.

After all, improving singing skills requires persistent practice.

Since his intervention, the growth trajectory of the four girls has obviously changed.

In particular, Du Sheng eliminated crude or flawed TV dramas and movies for them and increased the proportion of idol group lines, making them unique in the country.

Qi Qing’s hosting performance today was excellent and the recording process of the entire program went very smoothly.

When she saw the director's look, she understood that the two finalists were about to appear on stage.

When she mentioned that Du Sheng was about to take the stage, the audience cheered in unison:

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng!"

Even if people passing by don't get close, they can still clearly hear these enthusiastic shouts and intuitively feel how exaggerated Du Sheng's popularity is.

As Du Sheng walked out from the backstage, the lights focused on him.

Tall figure, handsome features, outstanding temperament...

For a moment, many exclamations turned into excited screams.

Liu Yifei and the other four girls who returned to the backstage also watched without blinking, not hiding their admiration at all.

The fans in the audience seemed to be even more excited, with exclamations and screams ringing in the ears.

Du Sheng stood in front of the stage, smiling and waving. He waited for the prelude to end, then picked up the microphone and started singing.

His expression was melancholy yet affectionate, as if he was whispering a poem of love and fate.

"Time rarely remains silent, and the autumn wind is tired of wandering..."

When singing to this point, Du Sheng leaned back slightly and looked up at the sky, as if challenging the unknown fate.

"The song ends, the crowd disperses, the hair turns white, the beauty dies;

The candle is dying out, but I still don’t notice it, competing with the sun for brightness, making me thinner…”

As the song gradually reached its climax, Du Sheng leaned forward and lowered his head. His voice gradually weakened, but his breath became steadier, and he seemed to be completely immersed in the emotion of the song.

The live performance was extremely shocking and the effect was unparalleled.

After watching Du Sheng's wonderful performance, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and others were so impressed that they felt a little ashamed of themselves.

However, they were also aware of the gap between the two sides and quickly recovered, standing up first and giving warm applause.

For Liu Yifei, the song "Xiao Yao Tan" brought back deep memories.

Recalling the time when I was filming "The Great Tang" and Fan Bingbing were attacked by wild boars in the red leaf forest, Du Sheng heroically rescued them...

The audience was also moved by the unforgettable emotions.

Many people stood up excitedly and clapped along.

The four girls from Girls' Generation have always been Du Sheng's fans, so they would naturally not miss such a moment.

For a moment, there was continuous applause.

The live broadcast captured these lively scenes, especially the excited expressions of the four beautiful girls, which made the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but smile.

After Qi Qing's closing remarks, the recording of "Happy Journey to the East" came to a successful conclusion.

Du Sheng exchanged a few words with the program crew, and also specifically greeted Sun Bin, and then left the scene.

He had promised to take a few girls shopping, eating and watching a play in the evening and he couldn't break his promise.

"Have you finished removing your makeup? Let's go before it gets dark."

Liu Yifei and the other three came out of the dressing room and said impatiently:
"Of course, we've been waiting for this."

Du Sheng asked Wang Yaoyang to drive over, and the group went to the parking lot first.

After getting in the car, Yang Mi took the initiative to suggest:

"Brother Sheng, let's sit in the back seat and discuss where to go first!"

Du Sheng readily agreed and squeezed into the back seat of the car with them.

Liu Shishi sat next to him and praised softly:
"Brother Sheng, the song you sang just now, "Xiao Yao Tan", was so beautiful."

"That's right, when my cousin appeared, I was almost stunned!"

Along the way, the girls chirped and were as happy as larks.

They were mainly responsible for chatting and sharing some interesting stories from recent promotional activities.

Du Sheng kept smiling and acted as a patient listener.

As time went on, he found himself liking listening to them more and more.

Especially Liu Yifei, this girl became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice was clear and pleasant.

When the car stopped, she continued:
“I’ve always thought that apart from your good acting skills, beautiful singing, and agility, my cousin, we can more or less catch up with you in other aspects.

I didn’t expect you to be so affectionate that even the aunties in the audience burst into tears…”

The other girls agreed with this.

Their ideal partner is not only handsome, but most importantly, someone who has a spiritual connection and someone they can chat with.

And Du Sheng fits the bill perfectly in every aspect.

Even in his busy schedule, he is always willing to take time out to go shopping and eat with them. This alone makes him much better than many people who say one thing and do another.

Du Sheng: “…”

He didn't say anything, just listened to the girls chattering, and he didn't expect there would be a BUFF bonus.

It was not yet seven o'clock, but the nearby night market had already begun to bustle.

Du Sheng, along with a few slightly disguised maids, strolled among these stalls.

They don't have high demands for material enjoyment and are easily satisfied.

Du Sheng bought some affordable small accessories for each of them, and the girls giggled with joy.

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi even wore these bracelets, earrings and necklaces.

Even if they are cheap goods, they can still wear them in a unique style.

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"If I were selling jewelry, I would definitely not ask you to be my spokesperson."

Liu Yifei and the other two are like curious babies:

"why?"

Du Sheng explained:
"Because it's hard to give up your natural beauty, people often only notice your beauty and ignore the jewelry itself."

Although this was just a joke, the girls' cheeks turned slightly red and their eyes sparkled with joy.

Liu Yifei looked at Du Sheng expectantly and asked seriously:
"Cousin, are you telling the truth?"

Du Sheng said sincerely with a smile:
"Of course, some people are beautiful even in coarse linen clothes, and you are one of them."

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan were delighted when they heard this, and they took the initiative to hold Du Sheng's hand in the crowd:
"There's a fish ball stand up ahead, let's go get something to eat first!"

Du Sheng felt the two girls' soft hands and said with a smile:
"Then let's go and fill our stomachs first."

When Liu Yifei heard about food, her eyes lit up and she was very excited to lead the way.

It was a simple snack and everyone enjoyed it with gusto.

Afterwards, they walked out of the night market together and strolled happily.

At this time, Tang Yan turned around and asked:
"Brother Sheng, aren't you going to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow?
I don’t see your name on the list of performers for the day after tomorrow.”

Du Sheng shook his head and said:
“Due to time constraints, I only attended the award ceremony of this Golden Eagle Festival.

Besides, attending the opening ceremony and singing on stage won’t add much to my popularity, so there’s no need to go.”

This is the truth.

Moreover, the organizers invited many well-known singers this time, including a few from Korea, so there is no shortage of artists.

Of course, for Girls' Generation, it is still a rare big stage for them to appear.

After that night, Du Sheng and Liu Yifei and the other three separated for a short time again.

Girls' Generation will be performing at the Golden Eagle Awards the day after tomorrow, and they are going to attend the rehearsal.

Du Sheng has to go back to the headquarters because Kuaijie Pay is going to have in-depth cooperation with online platforms such as Baidu, NetEase Cloud Music, Shanda Games, and The 9, and he needs to attend.

After that, he also had to take two sets of promotional photos to endorse Kung Fu Pie’s new products.

Two days later, the award ceremony of the 22nd Golden Eagle TV Art Festival kicked off at the Changsha Convention and Exhibition Center.

Du Sheng was not with the members of Girls' Generation.

Because as guest performers, they need to appear earlier.

Du Sheng appeared later.

He originally planned to walk the red carpet alone, but yesterday he learned that Liu Tao also had a work shortlisted, so he decided to go with him.

At this TV festival, he was nominated for the Audience Favorite Actor and Most Popular Actor awards for his performances in the two dramas "The Heaven Sword and the Chinese Paladin 1".

Liu Tao's outstanding performance as Concubine Jing in "The Young Emperor" earned her a nomination for the most popular actress.

Because this award will be given to five actresses, she still has a certain chance of winning.

So Liu Tao was in a good mood.

Tonight she wore a purple off-shoulder evening dress paired with red stiletto high heels, looking graceful and charming.

She is worthy of being the "Princess Jing" who left a deep impression on the audience.

Especially thanks to Du Sheng's "Yin Yang Transposition" skill, his skin color has become much whiter and he is much more confident.

When she stood next to Du Sheng, the latter looking down from a high place could still vaguely see that roundness.

It is neither too high nor too low, with undulating curves, giving it a unique charm.

Liu Tao noticed the man's gaze, gave him a graceful look, and said:

"I thought you were surrounded by beautiful women and didn't want to leave."

There was some resentment in her words.

Because Du Sheng was busy filming in Hong Kong, the two sides hadn't seen each other for a month.

She is used to eating a lot of meat and fish, so it is difficult for her to adapt to a vegetarian diet.

The most important thing is that she is still listed as a member of Qiong Yao Company, which makes the two sides somewhat isolated.

Du Sheng smiled indifferently:

"You should know my temper. I won't change my mind easily.

Besides, it has been more than two years since we first met on the set of the drama, right? "

When Liu Tao heard Du Sheng mention this, he smiled happily.

Obviously he recalled the scene when they first met during the audition for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

She also considered this to be the best encounter in her life.

"Two years and three months have passed without me noticing, but there is one thing you haven't changed."

Liu Tao smiled and said:

"That means you are surrounded by beautiful women, and you will never lack for them wherever you go."

Du Sheng couldn't help laughing, maybe because the scene was too funny when they first met.

So much so that from then on, every time he had a private discussion, he would ask the girl next to him to pretend to meet by chance.

"Come on, beautiful Princess Jing, it's my honor to walk the red carpet with you."

Liu Tao naturally put his arm around Du Sheng's arm, and the two walked onto the red carpet very well matched.

As soon as he appeared, the audience on both sides cheered and screamed.

Seeing the fans' enthusiasm, Liu Tao whispered as he walked:
"It's thanks to you this time that I feel so popular."

Although she has been rated as a new first-line star, her status is still unstable, and her popularity and accumulation are not enough, so she can be considered a pseudo first-line star.

When I usually attend events, the popularity is indeed not as crazy as tonight.

"Then you must cherish it, this road is not long."

The two stopped for a while halfway, and Du Sheng gently hugged Liu Tao's slender waist and made some intimate gestures for the reporters to take pictures.

Liu Tao smiled and said:
"I walked slowly on purpose, but I didn't expect that we would be able to cooperate so perfectly when taking the photo."

"That's natural."

Du Sheng let Liu Tao hold his arm as they walked into the venue:
"You (Azhu) were my godsister after all."

"It's a pity that it was done, and this is the only identity I can have!"

Liu Tao is also good at taking a joke and he remains calm when driving fast.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the front row seats of the venue.

Du Sheng was about to go to the seating area for male artists, while Liu Tao walked to the other side.

Wang Yuelun, who was nominated for the Best Director Award for a documentary short film, saw this and joked:

"Boss Du, you look so smiling, did you encounter something wonderful?"

Tong David, who was standing next to him, chimed in with gossip:

"There were rumors about Liu Tao and Brother Sheng. What do you think?"

Du Sheng smiled and said casually:
"There are so many people who have had scandals with me. If we calculate it this way, wouldn't the minimum be over 100?"

After hearing this, Wang Yuelun laughed and joked:
"Speaking of this, we are indeed ashamed of ourselves.

After all, who in the entire circle is as fearless of scandals as you are? "

Du Sheng smiled faintly and responded concisely:
“Let nature take its course and you will see the truth.”

Wang Yuelun was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

Because if he dared to do that, he would probably be hung up and beaten by his girlfriend in a matter of minutes.

Tong David was a little curious and couldn't help asking:
"Brother Sheng, you are not so happy because you got the news that you won an internal award, right?"

He was also nominated for the Favorite Actor Award for his role in "Jade Guanyin".

If Du Sheng is confirmed here, it means that the remaining competition will be even greater.

Du Sheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Who knows about winning the award? Besides, I don't really care. I'll just take it one step at a time."

Seeing him so calm and composed, Wang Yuelun said confidently:

“You’re 100% the winner!
I have to say, your popularity is really amazing now, even more exaggerated than the Four Heavenly Kings.

Yesterday, Yangshi 3 announced the ratings of the first episode of "Happy Eastern Journey", and the online discussion was very heated..."

In order to build "Happy Eastern Journey" into a brand program, Yangshi Channel 3 released the ratings data and promoted it on various channels.

The average ratings of the first episode of "Happy Eastern Journey" were 7.5%, and the highest ratings soared to 10.8%.
That’s right, it was when Du Sheng came on stage and sang “Xiao Yao Tan”!
Such a rapid increase in price has amazed many people in the industry.

You have to know that "Happy Journey to the East" is just a replacement for an eliminated work, and its own impact is not particularly huge.

According to the comparison of previous programs of Yangshi Channel 3, the ratings usually fluctuate within 5%.

But the average ratings for the first episode reached 7.5%, and the instantaneous ratings reached 10.8%, exceeding everyone's expectations.

The most obvious reason is that Du Sheng and Girls' Generation were invited as guests.

Especially Du Sheng, because all the ratings peaks are related to him.

This also proves once again the powerful star effect of Du Sheng.

Many programs are even crazy about inviting him, intending to use him to support the programs.
