Entertainment King:I Can Extract Skills from the Movies

Moreover, Du Sheng needed the exposure to increase his reputation points. Such a good opportunity couldn't be missed.

"During filming, I did have some minor conflicts with Wei Ge and others—"

Du Sheng paused deliberately when answering, giving reporters enough time to react.

Sure enough, his statement was like dropping a stone into a pond, creating ripples of interest among the reporters.

The reporters shifted their focus from Sun Yaowei to Du Sheng, making him the center of attention.

Sun Yaowei, being a veteran in the industry, handled questions with ironclad defense. With Li Leduo expertly deflecting questions, the reporters could not pry anything substantial from him.

Du Sheng's situation, however, was entirely different.

This young man seemed to have realized that this was an excellent opportunity to make his presence known. His willingness to attract attention fascinated the media.

People are often intrigued by a newcomer who dares to challenge authority and make bold statements.

If Du Sheng dared to make some controversial remarks about Sun Yaowei, he would undoubtedly dominate tomorrow's headlines.

Realizing this, the reporters eagerly started asking sharper questions.

"Du Sheng, there are rumors that you physically attacked Sun Yaowei on set and used your position as an investor to suppress the lead actors. Is this true?"

A reporter couldn't wait to ask this question.

Du Sheng glanced at the reporter and shook his head slightly:

"No—"

His response allowed Wang Yaoyang to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Ye Jingzhi, who had been observing quietly, nodded in satisfaction.

She thought Du Sheng was finally showing the restraint and composure expected at such critical moments.

Such a grounded and ambitious actor was worth nurturing.

However, Du Sheng's next words left her utterly speechless.

"Physically attacked Sun Yaowei?"

"Heh, that's an interesting rumor."

Du Sheng didn't seem fazed by the crowd's reaction. Calmly, he continued:

"To be honest, if he dared to fight me, I probably wouldn't last a single round before kneeling and begging him to stop spitting blood."

"As for suppressing the lead actors—if staying up late into the night to guide them in their action scenes counts as suppression, then I have nothing to say."

Ren Ye's mouth twitched but ultimately refrained from speaking.

In his mind, however, he couldn't help but think:

'Leaving me alone on set to practice moves—is that what you call guidance?'

Liu Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his words.

Thinking about the late-night rehearsals they shared, she realized "guidance" was indeed an appropriate description—but the nature of that guidance was far from what the reporters imagined.

Even the usually calm Li Leduo couldn't help but reveal a complex expression.

Zhang Jun, the director, wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

"No, it's definitely not my arrangement!"

This type of headline-grabbing behavior was far beyond anything he had anticipated.

Reporter questions continued to intensify, filled with leading remarks meant to stir the pot between Du Sheng and Sun Yaowei.

However, Du Sheng's relaxed demeanor and humor seemed to defuse much of the tension.

"Isn't this level of dedication to the craft exactly what the entertainment industry needs more of?"

Seeing the scene spiral further, Li Leduo stepped in to redirect the focus of the conference.

Du Sheng, understanding the implications, didn't push further.

Yet, despite the apparent chaos, the press conference achieved its desired goal.

The next day, headlines about Du Sheng and his rumored conflicts dominated various platforms, sparking widespread discussions and heated debates.

In the afternoon, in a private tea house, Du Sheng met Ye Jingzhi.

The young agent, dressed impeccably in a fashionable black dress, exuded professionalism and confidence.

"Du Sheng, with your talent, looks, and now this newfound attention, joining Huayi Brothers would open countless opportunities for you."

She placed a carefully prepared contract in front of him, speaking with a persuasive tone:

"We have the resources and the platforms to take you to the next level. You could be one of the 'Four Young Masters' in no time."

The Huayi Brothers, a dominant force in the entertainment industry, had created numerous stars.

With their influence and Du Sheng's current momentum, it seemed like a match made in heaven.

However, Du Sheng smiled faintly, his expression calm:

"Miss Ye, I'm very grateful for your recognition and the effort you've made to come here personally. But…"

"But what?"

Ye Jingzhi's sharp instincts picked up a hesitation in his voice.

Although she came from a strong family background, she preferred to succeed through her abilities.

Spotting Du Sheng at the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils set, she knew she had found a rare talent.

But his noncommittal response puzzled her.

"I have my plans," Du Sheng replied, his tone unyielding yet polite.

Despite the allure of joining a powerhouse like Huayi Brothers, Du Sheng remained steadfast in charting his own course.

He believed his success would come not just from external opportunities but through genuine effort and authenticity.

As they sipped tea in silence, the two seemed to acknowledge an unspoken respect for each other's determination.

At this moment, Ye Jingzhi realized th

at perhaps Du Sheng was not just another ambitious actor but someone destined to shape his own destiny in the industry.
