Chapter 40 Wild Mandarin DuckThe investor came over in the afternoon. I don't know what was said, but the situation was suppressed. Before leaving, probably because Ju Jueliang had mentioned Du Sheng's situation to her, she turned her head and looked over. After thinking about it, Zhong Zhen actually came to Du Sheng and asked him to talk aside. "I plan to set up a Zhongyao Film and Television Production Company." After Zhong Zhen sat down, he got straight to the point and said: "By then, Lao Ju will direct Wen Rui'an's film and television adaptations of "Against the Cold" and "The Four", and when he becomes more stable, he will get involved in the film industry. If you join us, the role will be given priority." Du Sheng is quite outstanding in acting, martial arts and acting as a martial arts director. He has become well-known in the circle and his rising trend is visible to everyone. I heard that companies such as Huayi and Tangren had contacted him before. Zhong Zhen, who already had some ideas in mind, couldn't keep his composure anymore.
Not to mention the problem of being intercepted by others, if Du Sheng continues to develop at such a fast pace, I am afraid that Zhongyao Film and Television will not be able to satisfy the other party. After all, her film and television company was just a start-up and did not have many resources and capabilities. Instead of luring those first- and second-tier stars to switch jobs, it is better to learn from Tang Ren and cultivate your own core team. And Du Sheng is quite suitable at the moment. "Mr. Zhong, do you think I should go into martial arts movies?" Seeing that the other party was being businesslike and had no intention of exchanging ideas, Du Sheng remained silent. As he spoke, he looked at the successor of the Zhong family who exuded a confident temperament. She was about 27 or 28 years old, at least meters tall when wearing high heels, with a delicate face and a light-colored professional suit. Her every move was calm and dignified. He is indeed confident. After all, he inherited hundreds of millions of dollars and is currently among the top 500 richest people in the country. When Du Sheng was still carefree before, he wasn't joking when he told Wang Yaoyang that he wanted to find a rich woman. At least I paid attention to the relevant information about the person in front of me. The Zhong family made their fortune in the early days by selling videotapes and VCDs. As their resources continued to accumulate, they have now not only opened a film investment company and entered the field of e-commerce, but have also invested in the catering, manufacturing and other industries. Well, Zhong Zhen is still an only child! It's a pity that she has a frigid personality and it seems that she has no plans to find a man at the moment. Zhong Zhen took a sip of the coffee, not minding the other person's gaze, and said: “The route you’ve chosen now is quite good. After all, your advantages lie in your martial arts skills and appearance. There is a great demand for martial arts stars in the current domestic film and television circles, but there are not many among the younger generation who can take on the leading role. As long as you have the courage to take risks, I believe you will have a place sooner or later." In Hollywood, the highest-paid actors are often the leading men in action movies. Stallone, Tom Cruise, Jason Statham and others are all internationally renowned as action stars.
The situation is the same in China. Jackie Chan and Jet Li have won the love and recognition of countless audiences with their image of daring and hardworking martial arts stars. However, apart from them, although there are many martial arts actors of the younger generation, only a few can truly compare with them. "There are not many truly outstanding martial arts actors among the younger generation in mainland China. Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Yue and Wu Jing are among the best." Zhong Zhen knows all about the actors in the industry, and is in a good mood to talk. He then analyzes: “Although Wu Yue has good kung fu, his appearance is relatively weak, so he is destined to have difficulty supporting a big drama. Zhao Wenzhuo has the potential to be a martial arts star, but his disadvantage is that he is a little older and with the huge pressure of Jet Li looming over him, it is difficult for him to have a chance to break through and become a star. When it comes to role selection, the director will also give priority to Jet Li rather than him. Now that Zhao Wenzhuo has limited advantageous resources, he has been passively turning to small-screen development. As he gets older, his acting range will probably become narrower and narrower. As for Wu Jing, his situation is similar to Zhao Wenzhuo. If he doesn’t make changes, he will probably be even worse than Zhao Wenzhuo in the future.” Listening to Zhong Zhen's clear and logical talk, Du Sheng nodded secretly. Although this female CEO is young, she does have unique vision and profound insights. Zhao Wenzhuo had few film resources after that, and Wu Jing only made a breakthrough by taking the risk of turning to military genres. Zhong Zhen looked at Du Sheng, with confidence gleaming in his eyes: "But you are different from them. First of all, there is an age gap and there is not much competition. What’s more, your appearance is more outstanding than theirs, and your actual fighting skills are not inferior to theirs, which means endless possibilities! As long as you are not afraid of hard work and work hard on your action acting, I have enough resources and confidence to train you, and it is not impossible for you to become the next Jet Li!" Faced with Zhong Zhen's big promises, Du Sheng did not feel too much fluctuation in his heart. He knew that such promises were not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and everyone hoped to become the next superstar, but the reality was often cruel. Although he also has dreams, he knows more clearly that dreams need to be realized with down-to-earth efforts. And the other party got one thing wrong, he performed the action scenes mainly for the lottery. Rather than those illusory ideals. Why did he decline Hua Yi and Tang Ren's applications before? Nothing else but bondage and shackles. Unless the other party allows him to invest, or convinces him to become a partner, why should he work for others? But these words are not easy to say to others. Du Sheng has a golden finger and is very clear about his future growth, but others who don’t know will think you are arrogant. Of course, Zhong Zhen is also very sincere, and he has to deal with the two lines of Ju Jueliang and "Dragon Goddess" properly. Not to mention that if he wanted to save decades of detours and the road ahead was long and arduous, he had to make sure the other party left feeling refreshed. So I don’t mind picking up topics that the other person likes and saying a few words to flatter him or her.
Seeing Du Sheng and Zhong Zhen chatting and laughing happily, Ju Jueliang felt even more strange: "If I had this guy's looks, figure, and abilities, I wouldn't have to work so hard..." After a simple chat, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves. However, after this incident, the atmosphere of the "Tian Long" crew has obviously changed a lot. Zhou Yaowen seemed to know that he was no match for Zhang Zhizong, so he became much more silent. In the past few days, due to the intervention of the other party, many scenes were not filmed satisfactorily and were not completed until the evening. Especially tonight, as it was almost late at night, the crew simply stayed in the mountains and used tents for the night. There is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Du Sheng, who was used to falling asleep with the soft body in his arms, unexpectedly missed Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing. He couldn't fall asleep for an hour on the cold floor. He simply got up and went out for a walk to feel the unique and rare tranquility in Licheng. The full moon hangs high in the sky, and a cool breeze blows. But after walking only a few hundred meters, his expression suddenly became strange. As he practiced martial arts every morning, Bajiquan also strengthened his body. His facial senses became much sharper and he could detect anything unusual immediately. 'Is this the cry of wild mandarin ducks?' Du Sheng listened attentively, feeling curious, and quietly followed the direction of the suggestive rustling sound. With the help of moonlight, when he saw the two figures of light in the bushes, his eyes widened. "Damn! Married people also play so wild?" Eye-opening, eye-opening! …… (End of this chapter)
