Chapter 54: Make money, not shabby! Of course, this industry is not as glamorous as it seems to a few can make it out. Not to mention that there are many hidden rules. In addition, Du Sheng's golden finger is shooting the lottery. Whether it is to increase reputation or to extract enhanced skills, it is inseparable from the entertainment industry. Especially when it comes to filming, I can't get away from it in any way. Just thinking of Zheng Zetao's identity and background... Du Sheng did not refuse directly, but nodded: "I'll think about it and give you an answer later." In the previous life, who had greater international influence, Wu Jing or boxing champion Tyson? Maybe many people have the answer.
Although I don't want to believe it, the fact is hard to deny. The reason why Du Sheng considered this was because of this point. If others can do it, then so can he! Especially as boxing is currently declining in the country, the effect and sensation it causes will be even better. "It's ok." Zheng Zetao didn't force it and handed him a business card: "As for the personal trainer issue, would you like to consider it again? If you are willing to come to the martial arts school to teach, I will give you 3 a month! No, 6!" Du Sheng just smiled, chatted for a few minutes and left. "Ah Sheng, are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ma Yaowei drove the crew's car out and took Du Sheng and the other man to the airport. "I bought a plane ticket, and it's hard to refund it." Du Sheng asked casually: "Who is Zheng Zetao? I see you are quite respectful to him." "You've heard of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, right?" Ma Yaowei laughed mysteriously: “The Zheng family is one of the top ten richest families in Hong Kong, with assets worth tens of billions. Although Zheng Zetao was born in a side branch, he is still someone we can look up to.” Du Sheng nodded slightly and said: "Is boxing still going strong in Hong Kong?" There is a saying in the martial arts circle: "If you want to learn real kung fu, go to Nanyang, Hong Kong." Decades ago, a large number of people flocked to Hong Kong, bringing with them fierce competition.
Including the martial arts community, there were "more boxing gyms than rice shops" at one time. Unlike the mainland today where there are circles to protect and various routines to resolve disputes, when well-known boxers went south to Hong Kong, they had to fight if they wanted business. Actual fighting promoted a spirit of seeking truth. The most prosperous period was the 1970s and 1980s, when there were all kinds of martial arts, mainly Hung Gar, Cai Lifo, Dasheng Pi Gua and other styles. Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do also came later and flourished after Li Xiaolong and others became famous. At that time, martial arts was prevalent, leading to young people from various martial arts schools fighting every day. The slogan of Wing Chun is "Go to the bathroom if you dare", and the narrow environment is suitable for them to perform. Cai Lifo and Hung Gar would say "If you have the guts, go outside and solve it", and wide places are suitable for them to perform. At that time, newspapers even had columns to report on these events, and news of fights and martial arts competitions were comparable to entertainment. Especially after the introduction of Muay Thai, there was a saying at that time, "Out of the country, the place that is most like Muay Thai is Hong Kong." Besides China, Hong Kong is the second place where Muay Thai flourished. This also led to the prevalence of underground black boxing, with major societies training top boxers to participate in boxing competitions in Southeast Asia in order to earn huge ticket and lottery income. Ma Yaowei used to hang out at the Xiangjiang Boxing Gym every day, so he knew all about this. Whenever he mentioned this, he sighed: “It has long been in decline. Since the Kowloon Walled City was demolished, the underground black boxing has also suffered a heavy blow. If you want to make money by boxing nowadays, you can only participate in national boxing competitions, Neon K1, Nanyang ONE Fighting, etc. But there are too many rules, which are not very suitable for practicing traditional Chinese martial arts. In addition, it is a long journey and not many people are willing to endure the hardship after several months of travel..." Wang Yaoyang was hearing this for the first time, and asked curiously, "No matter how bad things are, there should be a limit, right? Doesn't Hong Kong hold its own events?" As we all know, if you want to become famous and restore the glory of Chinese martial arts, the fastest way is to become a local landlord yourself. Ma Yaowei shrugged and said: “Yes, for example, the recently popular “Legend of Wulin” and “Boxing General”, but they were held too late and the market has already been divided up. It will take time to expand.” At this point, he observed Du Sheng's reaction through the rearview mirror and said: "The Zheng family is the sponsor of "Legend of Wulin". Zheng Zetao is trying to get you to fight, and it's most likely for this. It is also the only boxing match recognized by UFC, the world's top-level event, in the Asia-Pacific region. The champion is eligible to advance directly to the global boxing championship. If I hadn't been incompetent, I would have joined long ago, why would I have ended up being a martial artist?" Du Sheng nodded. As expected, the historical line changed again. In the previous life, this show would not be held until several years later and was known as the most influential MMA event in the Asia-Pacific region. Seeing that he was somewhat interested, Ma Yaowei struck while the iron was hot: "Ah Sheng, if you have any ideas about this, I can go back and ask around for you." The new season of "Legend of Wulin" is about to begin. With Du Sheng's ability, it would be a pity to miss it. Du Sheng thought for a moment and said: "Then keep an eye on it and you can consider it when you have time." His main job is still filming, and currently the key is to extract skills and improve his strength. Of course, you can also start a side job like boxing or singing when you have time.
After all, making money is not shabby! You can also put the skills you gain from the lottery into practical use by participating in boxing matches. As the old saying goes, "If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes." Likewise, if the abilities he acquires are not revealed, then what is the point of becoming stronger? Moreover, if he were to pursue the path of an action star in the future, it would be of great benefit if he made a name for himself in the boxing world. At the very least, anyone who sees him will call him a "real Kung Fu star", completely different from performing artists like Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Your net worth will also continue to rise! …… After getting on the plane, Du Sheng leaned back in the back seat to rest, and when he tilted his head he could just see out the cabin window. Although it's too dark to see the scenery outside, the breeze still makes people feel good. "'Dragon Goddess' officially started filming five days ago, so it's a good time for you to join the crew now." Wang Yaoyang sat next to Du Sheng: "Here's the script, do you want to take a look?" During the filming of "Tian Long", in addition to acting as an assistant and collecting intelligence on Zhang Da Hu Zi's whereabouts, he also helped connect with the crew of "Goddess Dragon". It can be said that Wang Yaoyang has almost transformed from a group member to a business assistant. As for money, Du Sheng was not stingy, otherwise Wang Yaoyang would not have been able to save 5 yuan. Du Sheng flipped through it casually and found that, just like in his previous life, "Snow Goddess Dragon" should be adapted from an even older drama "Cold Moon and Lone Star Sword". Its setting is not new, and it still revolves around the struggle for power, revenge, and love. The reason why the previous life stood out is probably because of four major highlights: First, Shangguan Yan is a martial arts expert with a cold and arrogant personality. When she bites a strand of hair and raises and lowers the knife, her smooth and flowing moves are "cool" in the words of the audience. Rarely seen in this day and age, the hostess’s plan worked. Second, the second male lead is more likable than the first male lead. Ouyang Mingri is more handsome than Sima Changfeng and has a better personality than Sima Changfeng. Except for his legs that make it difficult for him to walk, he is almost a perfect man. He protects the heroine at all costs and is even given the awesome title of a miracle doctor who is even better than Hua Tuo. This kind of second male lead is very popular among young girls. It is fair to say that this drama is largely supported by him. 3. He came for Sun Yaowei, one of the four little kings of Hong Kong. At that time, his costume dramas almost occupied the prime time of major TV stations, but he was not the male lead in this drama, but played a supporting role to an unknown little actor. The news of the ban has not yet been announced, and the spectators who are not aware of the situation will of course watch it. Here, although Zhang Jun did not let Sun Yaowei play the male lead due to pressure, he left the male third role for him, which satisfied the audience's curiosity. Fourth, although the investment is not large, the decoration of the scenes in the play is very careful. The scene is spacious and fully furnished, making it look like a proper home rather than a place put together for filming. The desert at the back, no matter how small it is, can still be seen as a desert, and the scene of the square city is also very carefully crafted.
