Chapter 520: A natural match

Wang Yuelun's confidence does make some sense.

At this awards ceremony, Du Sheng won two major awards: Most Popular Actor and Most Favorite TV Actor.

In the words of fans, this is considered to be the title of Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

It is a bit regrettable that Liu Yifei was nominated for the most popular and most loved award for her role as Zhao Linger, but ultimately failed to win the award.

The Most Popular Actress award was given to Sun Li, while the Most Favorite Actress award was shared by five actresses including Liu Tao.

Sun Li just starred in her first TV series last year, and it was her first one, but she still won an award.

In contrast, Liu Yifei, who started filming two years ago, had some expectations for the awards at the beginning, but now she is inevitably a little disappointed.

After the award ceremony, on the way back to the hotel, Du Sheng smiled and patted her arm, comforting her:
"You have won an international award, so relax a little."

At the Seoul International Television Awards which was announced not long ago, Du Sheng and Liu Yifei won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards respectively for their roles as Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The Seoul International Television Festival is a television festival co-organized by KBS, MBC, SBS and other TV stations. It is one of the most influential international television program exchange activities in Asia.

If you really compare it, the Golden Eagle Award is a little bit inferior to it.

Seeing this, Tang Yan next to him interrupted and said:

"Brother Sheng has already won the King of Fighters, Best Actor, and Best Actor awards, and he has also won the Golden Bell and Golden Melody Awards in music, which is really enviable.

But we can't compare with him, he is a monster that hasn't appeared in ten years.

Come to think of it, Shi Shi, Xiao Mi, and I haven’t even won any awards, but we’re still just as happy.”

Liu Yifei heard the concern for her good sister's safety, shook her head and said with a smile:

“Forget it, I’m just a little disappointed, I don’t necessarily need to win the award.

Besides, Sister Hua said before that in order to win an award, you need not only outstanding acting skills but also good connections. I don’t want to bother with such things.”

Du Sheng could tell she was a little unwilling and said with a smile:

"If it doesn't work this time, there will always be next time. We at Interstellar Media still have some influence, so it won't be difficult to help out a few people.

Depending on your progress, it is possible to win the Feitian Award, Magnolia Award, or even the Hundred Flowers Award or Huabiao Award next year."

Du Sheng has the ability to bring people into the play. The fact that Tong Liya, Gao Yuanyuan and others who did not have much acting skills before were able to perform vividly is proof of this.

What's more, Liu Yifei's acting skills have always been online.

Although Liu Yifei's talent is average, she works very hard and her acting skills are guaranteed, but she has not reached the ceiling.

But with Du Sheng's help, it is not difficult to continue to advance.

Feeling the care from people around her, Liu Yifei's mood brightened.

She did not continue to talk about the movie, but snuggled up to Du Sheng, blushing and whispering:
"I like singing and acting, but I like playing the flute even more. Cousin, you haven't taught me how to play it for a long time!"

The girls who had been silent all this time interrupted at this moment, their beautiful eyes lit up and they said:

"We must learn too!"

Du Sheng: “…”

After finishing the Golden Eagle Festival trip, Du Sheng took the girls from Girls' Generation to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

On the return flight, the topic gradually turned to other areas.

The originally monotonous and boring flight time became lively and interesting because of the company of four young and energetic girls.

When the plane landed smoothly at Ningbo Airport, the company's special car was already waiting there.

Sitting in the back seat, Liu Shishi casually flipped through the magazine in the car and suddenly exclaimed:
"Wow, there's a report about it so soon!"

Yang Mi immediately took out her mobile phone, opened the Metropolitan Entertainment News app, and browsed the latest news about Du Sheng.

The more she looked, the happier she became, and the smile on her face grew brighter.

Noticing the smiles on Liu Shishi and Yang Mi's faces, Liu Yifei couldn't help but move closer to take a look.

After seeing the words on the screen, she was delighted and couldn't help but read them aloud:

"Having won the titles of King of Fighters, Best Actor and Best Actor, Du Sheng is undoubtedly a leader among the younger generation!"

"The 22nd Golden Eagle TV Art Festival concluded successfully, and Metropolitan Entertainment News broadcast the award ceremony live.

Du Sheng won two major awards in one fell swoop and became the new Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

Not long ago, he won the Best Actor award at the Golden Rooster Film Festival, and now he has won again. Whether in terms of popularity or honors, Du Sheng is in the leading position among actors of the same age, and he deserves the title..."

When Liu Yifei finished reading this passage, Yang Mi said excitedly:

"That's not even the best part. You should read the gossips from netizens."

Liu Yifei was also curious because she also enjoyed reading the texts praising Du Sheng.

“Is Du Sheng just a leader of the younger generation?

I think he may be the best star in the whole East, and even in the whole Asia!"

"Some fans are too confident, aren't they? For example, big stars like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-fat, can Du Sheng surpass them?"

"Is it impossible to surpass? Then what if we add the No. 1 middleweight in the UFC? How valuable do you think it is?"

"It is foreseeable that Du Sheng will soon become the new generation of superstar!"

Although Du Sheng’s current achievements are not enough to be compared with those of Cheng Long and others, those who express their opinions on the Internet are mainly young people, many of whom are loyal fans of Du Sheng.

Therefore, most of the comments in the section are in support of Du Sheng.

This made Liu Yifei and Yang Mi very happy.

The four members of Girls' Generation seemed to share the same feelings as these passionate words of support.

Liu Shishi even occasionally comments on the comments.

In her opinion, those exaggerated compliments were all appropriate comments.

Any less-than-enthusiastic compliments she viewed as a sign of disloyalty.

For Du Sheng, winning too many awards did not bring him much feeling.

But for the girls of Girls' Generation, it was an incomparable joy.

In particular, Liu Yifei laughed particularly happily when she read the relevant comments.

At that moment, I seemed to have forgotten the feeling of loss for not winning the award.

For her, it is worth celebrating whether any of her cousins ​​wins an award.

What’s even more gratifying is that they will receive a balance next.

Interstellar Media's financial situation is settled every quarter, and now is the end of the quarter, which means it is harvest season again.

Therefore, the business car did not drive directly to their residence, but went straight to the headquarters building.

As soon as she arrived at the company, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to find Ye Jingzhi, and was a little excited:
"Sister Jingzhi, is our bill ready?"

Ye Jingzhi smiled and said to Du Sheng:
"Look at how much Sissi has been exploited. She's so happy about a small amount of money."

"Haha, that's none of my business. It's her fault for spending money so lavishly that even her pocket money was confiscated by her mother."

Du Sheng shrugged, somewhat gloating:
"Xixi, don't forget that the money won't reach your hands. You can only look at the numbers."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she pretended to be pitiful:
"You are the big boss, isn't this considered exploiting your employees?"

Ye Jingzhi responded with a half-smile:

“Don’t be, it’s still unclear who the real boss is.

The company is your cousin's hard work, and maybe you will have a share in it in the future. I am more like a hard-working employee."

What she said was not wrong. After all, the busiest people in the entire company were probably her and Zhong Zhen.

Seeing Liu Yifei blushing and becoming shy, Ye Jingzhi looked at Liu Shishi with amusement:
"Shi Shi, take them to check the accounts.

The sales of your new album exceeded 150 million. Although only a portion of it has been received, the overall income is not small.”

In addition to the new album, Girls' Generation also earned a lot of money from filming and advertising endorsements.

In addition, due to the need to promote the album, they participated in many commercial performances and activities, which was also an invisible source of income.

As the album sales skyrocketed, their popularity reached new heights and they even got several new endorsements.

Although Du Sheng once instructed Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli to control the number of endorsements and commercial performances, their income is still considerable.

Judging from the income of the company's artists alone, the revenue generated by Girls' Generation is second only to Du Sheng, Fan Bingbing and others.

Although Tang Yan, Yang Mi and others are not short of money, being able to watch the numbers soar and their income increase is still one of people's most basic happiness.

Liu Shishi is an expert in this area and is good at saving money and investing.

The four girls laughed and made noises, and went to the side happily, ready to compete to see who could create the highest profit.

Du Sheng was discussing matters related to Miracle Cinemas with Ye Jingzhi.

Currently, 78 out of the 36 cinemas planned by the company have achieved positive profits.

29 of them are basically able to break even, while the other 13 still need transfusions or subsidies from their headquarters.

This situation is not uncommon.

The overall performance of the domestic cinema market is currently mediocre, with most of the box office revenue concentrated in the more developed coastal cities.

In addition, it will take some time for newly opened cinemas to carry out publicity and promotion, and the revenue situation will only improve over time.

Ye Jingzhi handed Du Sheng a list of movies showing during this year's National Day holiday.

Even with Du Sheng's forward-looking vision, there are not many film choices worth recommending.

Because there aren’t many quality movies to choose from.

The most anticipated movie is "New Police Story" starring Jackie Chan, and the other film choices are not much different.

After reading the National Day screening schedule, Du Sheng approved it without hesitation.

After talking about theater affairs, Du Sheng added:

"Quick Pay is developing an online payment function for cinemas. I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Ye, to follow up on this matter and ensure..."

Ye Jingzhi nodded to show her understanding, and asked in surprise:
"Quick Pay has set up a new subsidiary to take charge. What does Sister Zhen say?"

Kuaifuzhi has only been established for a few months, and she feels that the progress of this branch is a bit too fast. Du Sheng shook his head slightly and said:
“For future strategic development, it must be independent.

I discussed this with her before development. After becoming independent, it is no longer limited to transaction payments on its own platform.

It can expand its business to more online platforms, offline merchants and various other transaction scenarios, and avoid risks and financial supervision.

Moreover, Sister Zhen has been busy with the financing of Renren and the expansion of Miracle Cinemas recently, and I'm afraid she doesn't have much energy to take care of these things.

If there is anything you don’t understand, you can contact me then.”

Ye Jingzhi understood what Du Sheng meant and answered after thinking for a moment:
"Don't worry, I will follow up on this matter and avoid transaction risks as soon as possible, and standardize the subsequent financial services such as wealth management and loans."

Ye Jingzhi is indeed a caring little darling, and she always tries her best to help Du Sheng solve the company's trivial matters.

Therefore, tonight Du Sheng would show no mercy and would devote all his strength to give her good guidance.

.........

Early that morning, Ju Jueliang informed Du Sheng and Girls' Generation to take makeup photos.

Since Liu Xiaoli hasn't returned yet, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others have gone back to school and won't be back until tomorrow.

Considering the need to cooperate with Zhang Zhizong's publicity, Du Sheng simply took over Xixi first.

After completing their makeup, the two took two sets of makeup photos.

After seeing the photos, director Ju Jueliang expressed his admiration:
"You two are truly a match made in heaven."

Xixi smiled and felt warm in her heart.

Looking at Du Sheng's handsome appearance in ancient costume, she couldn't suppress the admiration in her heart.

"Xixi, what's with that crazy expression on your face?"

"Asshole cousin, you're the nymphomaniac!"

"Were you trying to attack me just now?"

Du Sheng deliberately joked, but unexpectedly, Xixi blushed.

Seeing this, he got bored and decided to tease the girl:
"What's that black spot on your cheek?"

Liu Yifei subconsciously reached out:
"It can't be popcorn, that's what I had in the morning."

"Don't move, turn your head sideways, I'll help you take it off."

Du Sheng said with a smile.

"No! You must be trying to trick me, right?"

This little girl isn't cute anymore?

"What's the point of playing a prank on you? It's better to have a scene with you while we have time, right?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him and snorted:
"Cousin, you've changed. Before, you were trying to take advantage of me when you were playing tricks on me, but now you're totally indifferent!"

Du Sheng: “…”

What does this little girl mean?

Is she dissatisfied with myself for not taking advantage of her?

"How about this, let's do a different scene."

He is guiding Sissi to explore new experiences on the ship.

"Miss Long, you are tempting me to commit a crime."

Liu Yifei looked like she was in a play, raising her head and looking proudly at the 'Yin Zhiping' in front of her:
"Come on, I'm not afraid. Anyway, you, a fake Taoist priest, wouldn't dare to do that!"

Isn’t Xiaolongnu aloof and unworldly?

This line, this tone is wrong!

Du Sheng suddenly had the urge to ravage her.

It's really uncooperative.

If Xixi wasn't so young, she would know what it means to bring disaster upon herself tonight!
"Miss Long, you don't want your mother to know what happened today, right?"

Du Sheng looked around, confirmed that no one was paying attention and there was no surveillance equipment in the room, and then locked the door.

Liu Yifei suddenly felt the atmosphere change and someone hugged her waist.

She realized something and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

But she didn't dodge away. Instead, she slightly opened her red lips and raised her little head.

Seeing Xixi's shy face and hesitant attitude, Du Sheng couldn't help but pick her up gently.

Liu Yifei felt sweet in her heart, and there was a hint of hope in her beautiful eyes.

At this time, there is no need to say much, direct action is the best proof.

Du Sheng chuckled and hugged Xixi's delicate body, lightly touching her earlobe.

It takes time to adapt to the role, which helps her get into the right state.

Sure enough, after being kissed, Liu Yifei closed her eyes and her hands naturally wrapped around Du Sheng's neck.

But not long after, Sissi burst out laughing:

"Cousin, the collar of your ancient costume is too high. It pricks me."

"..."

But after she finished speaking, the girl found it too troublesome and decided to do it herself, leaving Du Sheng in a passive position.

Although her movements were clumsy and she only tried it briefly, it showed that she was very enterprising.

After finishing the last set of photos at noon, Ju Jueliang sent the photos to Zhang Zhizong.

The latter called an assistant, then posted the selected makeup photos and sent them to major media outlets.

Then, he invited reporters from platforms such as Xinlang and Shuhu to shoot a series of promotional videos.

Zhang Zhizong always has a "pre-marketing" routine when filming TV series.

That is, a full-scale publicity campaign will begin one or two months before the start of filming.

In this way, by the time the TV series is officially completed, the audience will already have some knowledge of it and will be looking forward to its broadcast.

Of course, such publicity strategies are usually only applicable to works with higher visibility.

For example, "Swordsman", "Tian Long" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", otherwise it will be counterproductive.

With Du Sheng joining The Return of the Condor Heroes this time, Zhang Zhizong would not miss the opportunity to promote the film and started to build momentum online early on.

The effect is also obvious.

By repeatedly announcing the casting of Little Dragon Girl in the play, as well as the participation of all four beauties from The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the popularity of The Return of the Condor Heroes was successfully pushed to a new high.

In addition to the discussion, everyone naturally compared it with the classic versions by Gu Tianle and Li Ruoxuan.

The results were surprisingly consistent.

Many people think that Du Sheng is as handsome as Gu Tianle.

The slightly rebellious character he played in "Infernal Affairs" is also quite consistent with Yang Guo's personality setting.

However, some people still have doubts about whether Liu Yifei can perfectly interpret the role of Xiaolongnu.

After all, the image created by Li Ruotong is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Because of these noises, Du Sheng occasionally had to comfort Xixi like he did in the morning to help her get rid of the psychological pressure.

The work on the final makeup photos is basically completed, and we just need to wait for the camera to start up.

Sissi sat in the passenger seat, stretched her body and relaxed.

She was wearing a slightly short dress today, and as she stretched, the clothes moved up.

Du Sheng noticed this and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The girl was still unaware of it, and instead lay back on the seat, stretching her legs comfortably.

After being busy for most of the day, she was indeed a little tired.

But there are so many people along the way, you should at least pay attention to your image!

"Cousin, I'm so tired today. You have to give me a massage later."

Although Liu Yifei noticed Du Sheng's strange look, she didn't care at all. Instead, she leaned sideways lazily.

Her knee-length skirt could no longer cover her calves, revealing her long, white and smooth legs.

That pure and energetic girlish feeling is quite eye-catching.

If outsiders saw this, they would think they were doing something inappropriate for children.

"Then you take a rest first, I'll wake you up when we get there."

Du Sheng withdrew his gaze and put a coat over him.

Xixi finally came to her senses and said shyly:

"No, you're going to Hong Kong tomorrow."

Du Sheng smiled:
"Then cover it up with clothes, otherwise if the paparazzi take pictures of it, rumors will spread everywhere."

"Haha, I don't, it's better to have a scandal!"

As she spoke, Liu Yifei even playfully came close to him and blew air on him.

She also posed in a charming posture, ready for you to pick her.

If he hadn't been driving, Du Sheng would have made this girl understand what it means that you can't touch a tiger's butt!

"Hey, is my cousin embarrassed? He didn't even react at all!"

Liu Yifei became more and more excited as she spoke, still teasing with a smile.
