Chapter 110 Explosive Public Opinion When we arrived, night had already bustling scene of Causeway Bay comes into view, with a constant flow of people. Zhuang Wenqiang circled the block several times before finding a parking space. If Yau Tsim Mong is the engine of this city, then Causeway Bay is undoubtedly the heart of Hong Kong. Luxury cars are driving slowly on the streets, and young people on both sides have colorfully dyed hair, which is more eye-catching than celebrities. Foreigners can be seen everywhere, and white-collar workers in suits are walking hurriedly. Surrounded by high-rise buildings, colorful neon lights form a dazzling sea of stars. Walking on the avenue in Causeway Bay, Du Sheng deeply felt the difference between this place and Hengdian. Although the hot pot restaurant is not on the street, it is still packed with people. However, their arrival did not cause much sensation. Even if they recognized their guests, they would just glance curiously or say hello.
However, when Sun Yaowei arrived halfway, the scene suddenly became lively. Young girls saw him and rushed forward screaming and asking for his autograph. "Ah Sheng, why didn't you inform us in advance when you came to Hong Kong?" After dealing with the group of girls, Sun Yaowei greeted everyone and came to Du Sheng with a smile. It can be seen that even though he was banned by the company, his popularity has not declined much. He has a pretty good relationship with Du Sheng. When he learned that Du Sheng was invited by King Liu, he came to meet him out of friendship. "Aren't you preparing for a concert?" Du Sheng pulled out the chair for him and said teasingly: "And judging by the scene just now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the airport until dark if I look for you." Ma Yaowei poured the sashimi into the pot and joked: "Ah Sheng is also very handsome. If he had Yao Wei's popularity, it would be difficult for us to enter the store." Zhuang Wenqiang smiled and said: “Yao Wei is an idol singer, so he naturally has a lot of fans. If Brother Hua came, the roof here would be blown off. Ah Sheng has just arrived and his home ground is not here, so how can they be compared? If you cover your face and let a rich woman choose, you will know how popular Ah Sheng is. " "really?" Du Sheng followed the topic and joked to himself: “I heard that there are hundreds of wealthy women in Hong Kong with assets exceeding 100 million yuan, and many of them are young and beautiful. If I can just find someone, I won’t have to struggle anymore.”
"Does Mr. Zhuang have any good recommendations? We can split the profits 50-50." "If you meet a good person, you should first start a family. If you meet a noble person, you should first start a career. If you meet a rich woman, you should first start a family and then a career~" With this joke, the atmosphere in the box was quite harmonious. Everyone started chatting about all sorts of things. During the period, Zhuang Wenqiang also mentioned interesting stories from "Infernal Affairs". It turns out that there are two versions of this movie. If investment is obtained, a high-profile version starring Andy Lau and Leung Chiu-wai will be filmed. If investment is not obtained, newcomers will be found to star. Fortunately, after more than two years of hard work, Lin Jianyue, the boss of Huan Asia Pictures, finally decided to invest, which led to the current cast of leading actors. Unfortunately, Huanya was not optimistic about this film and kept the budget very low, resulting in a severe shortage of production funds. Under such circumstances, they were still able to invite movie stars such as Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing, and Zeng Zhiwei to join the show. The reason is both funny and sad. They didn't come for the money, they just wanted to help Hua Zai and do something for the Hong Kong film industry which is in trouble. After all, it was Hong Kong films that made them successful, and they also want to contribute to the declining Hong Kong films. "Brother Hua is in court, what's going on?" Du Sheng knew that Zhuang Wenqiang was a member of Tianmu Company and was very clear about the inside story, so he asked while the conversation was hot. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over. Zhuang Wenqiang did not hide it and said with a smile: "The films produced by Tianmu in the past few years were well received but not popular, with a cumulative loss of 50 million. You should all know these things. It was not until three years ago that Tianmu received capital injection from the wealthy businessman Mai Shaotang that Tianmu was able to reorganize, but the problem arose..." After Mai Shaotang injected capital, Liu Dehua went from being the boss of the Tianmu Company to an employee. Last year, Mai Shaotang had not received the 1500 million yuan he promised and still owed him wages. Liu Dehua asked for it three times but to no avail and had no choice but to take the case to court. Mai Shaotang sued Liu Dehua for breach of contract and not only demanded a huge amount of compensation, but also used his connections to apply for an injunction from the court to completely ban Liu Dehua. The injunction is still in effect, and Liu Dehua's apparent losses alone amount to hundreds of millions, and he cannot even be named in the filming and production. Everyone then understood why Liu Dehua contributed so much to "Infernal Affairs" but did not even get any fame. "From what Zhuang-sir said, since the main scenes revolve around the young versions of Hua and Wei, the young versions probably don't have many scenes." Sun Yaowei glanced at Du Sheng and said, hinting at something: "With Ah Sheng's acting skills and looks, do you still need an audition?" He knew he had no chance, so he spoke casually. Ma Yaowei was not afraid of offending people, so he laughed and said, "Is it possible that the investors are still reluctant to give up Chen Wanxi?" Although Du Sheng didn't say anything, he smiled and listened attentively. Zhuang Wenqiang hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "Yes, Lin Jianyue has always wanted to promote him to the top and take over the missing generation of Brother Hua.
In addition, Chen Wanxi's father has also been working hard to suppress the incident and persuaded Brother Hua to reconsider. " At this point, he couldn't help but look at Du Sheng with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "But the last fight was too big to be suppressed, so..." Although the other party didn't finish speaking, Du Sheng understood it. The reason why he was called to audition was not to test his acting ability. In a word, just wait. Let’s see if the controversy between Chen Wanxi and Xie Tingfeng can be settled. If possible, then continue to use Chen Wanxi. If not, let Du Sheng, the "spare tire", take over. Although it is very realistic, it is acceptable. Unless Du Sheng is a film and television tycoon now, no matter who comes, they will be treated the same. I have to say that he has to thank the woman for her assist in giving him this opportunity. If Zhang Baizhi hadn't been biased and directly cut off Xie Tingfeng's contact and brought in the playboy Chen Wanxi for a PK, there would be no possibility of this replacement. Of course, one’s own talent also has an impact here. Otherwise, given Zhang Baizhi's naturally proud and arrogant personality, it would be impossible to turn her into a crazy and resentful woman. Ma Yaowei heard the subtext and laughed: "So, there is a result?" Zhuang Wenqiang smiled and nodded, looking at Du Sheng: "The crew has already started filming. Tomorrow, Ah Sheng can just go to Lantau Island to join the crew." He no longer mentioned the audition issue. It was obvious that Du Sheng + Zhang Baizhi won this brief silent PK. The reason was that Chen Wanxi not only broke his wrist bone, but also had his face disfigured. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. In this case, it is impossible to appear on camera within a month. Not to mention that if you want to calm down the storm, you have to retreat for at least three to five months. Of course, we have to thank Xie Tingfeng for this! If he hadn't been half drunk and still maintained some rationality, and hadn't used Xie's root-breaking kick, Brother Wanxi's injury would probably have been more than just a disfigurement. However, the current situation is quite unfavorable to Xie Tingfeng. Not to mention the photos and reports from journalists and the media, there were actually some curious people who took pictures of the entire scene and posted them on foreign forums. Even though the Xie family is a big name in the Hong Kong circle, they cannot eliminate the explosive public opinion. Du Sheng secretly felt ashamed about this, but was happy to be a spectator and even a little pleased to see it happen. Xie Tingfeng and Chen Wanxi are both representatives of spoiled people with extraordinary backgrounds. It is no exaggeration to say that they are young and arrogant.
If you want to grow, similar disasters are essential. Although they were accused by the public of being a bad role model for teenagers this time, they gained a lot of popularity but were not forced to temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry. So if they really want to be calculating, they should thank Du Sheng. This time he reluctantly helped Brother Wanxi share the burden of resources, which was also his duty. "Asheng, congratulations!" Sun Yaowei offers his sincere congratulations. There is no competition between him and Du Sheng, and this is sincere. "You have to treat me." Ma Yaowei is not an artist, so he laughed and said: "It's okay if you don't treat us, just remember to participate in the boxing match, and let's cooperate and win a few times!" When talking about the current hot drama "Legend of Kung Fu" in Hong Kong, Sun Yaowei and Zhuang Wenqiang both looked at Du Sheng curiously. The former is very clear about Du Sheng's abilities, and if Du Sheng participates in the competition he will definitely go to support him! Not for anything else, just to have more topics to brag about later, he pointed at the champion on the stage and said calmly: "My buddy, are you pretty good?" Although the latter had heard Liu Dehua and others praise Du Sheng's extraordinary skills, he had never seen it with his own eyes and also wanted to broaden his horizons. Du Sheng actually had an idea in mind. After thinking for a while, he said: "There is still half a month left for registration. I won't have time to join the group tomorrow. Let's see in a few days." Ma Yaowei said excitedly: "It's settled then, I'll drive you there then!" He became even more active and prepared to ask his family for money. In the name of investment! 100% return rate, where can you find this business if you miss it? …… (End of this chapter)
