Entertainment King:I Can Extract Skills from the Movies

Ye Jingzhi felt a bit anxious.

Despite her strong family background, she had little to offer in terms of industry resources and could only rely on her sincerity to convince Du Sheng.

"But Huayi Brothers' future doesn't seem very promising."

Du Sheng's tone carried a hint of amusement.

"I've heard your bosses are planning to split the company. Are you sure you'll have enough resources to support me?"

Nobody would have expected that at the height of Huayi Brothers' success, rumors of a conflict between the two brothers and Wang Jin Hua began to surface.

Though unconfirmed, these rumors had already drawn significant attention.

As someone who had experienced these events before, Du Sheng knew with certainty that Wang Jin Hua would leave Huayi Brothers.

When she departed, most of her artists would follow, dealing a devastating blow to the company.

At this juncture, even if Du Sheng wanted a backer, Huayi Brothers wouldn't be his choice.

Ye Jingzhi's expression shifted slightly but quickly returned to calmness:

"That's just hearsay. Even if it's true, it won't affect our potential collaboration.

"Additionally, we can help you deal with any unfavorable publicity, such as today's reporter coverage."

With her connections and resources, she was well aware of Wang Jin Hua's plans.

If not for her loyalty to this senior figure, Ye Jingzhi would already have been hosting cultural exhibitions in Hong Kong.

Du Sheng smiled faintly:

"Miss Ye, your offer is quite tempting, but I need time to consider it."

"That's fine. Let's exchange contact information."

Ye Jingzhi nodded slightly, not pressing further.

She knew Du Sheng was smart and wouldn't make hasty decisions.

This trip to Hengdian was more of a side visit; working as an agent was only one of her interests. Her main purpose was attending a cultural art exhibition.

Watching her leave, Du Sheng's mind was filled with thoughts.

With two upcoming dramas about to air and his growing popularity, it would soon become difficult to handle key professional matters without a proper agent.

He had three options:

One, hire a personal agent. However, finding someone with extensive connections and abilities would be extremely challenging.

Two, work with freelance agents. But not every freelancer was as professional and conscientious as Ye Jingzhi.

Three, bring in someone like Zhong Zhen, a wealthy backer, to take care of everything—including managing his career.

None of these options were achievable at his current stage.

Du Sheng shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it for now.

Within a single night, news about Snowflower Goddess dominated newspapers, magazines, and online entertainment platforms.

Even on Weibo's entertainment section, a related article briefly occupied the trending chart before being replaced by newer content.

To everyone's surprise, the headlines weren't centered on the main cast but instead highlighted a newcomer named Du Sheng.

Take Urban Entertainment Express as an example. The front-page headline was almost entirely devoted to this new actor's remarks and evaluations.

"Du Sheng funded Snowflower Goddess with money from Fan Bingbing? He doesn't deny sponsorship rumors!"

"Sun Yaowei is not the lead? He got sidelined by a rookie!"

"Claims he could KO Sun Yaowei in one round—too arrogant?"

These distorted reports drew widespread criticism and ridicule.

Fan Bingbing's fan base reacted most strongly, flooding social media platforms with sharp comments.

"This newcomer is bold! Without any notable works, he dares to make such outrageous claims."

"Today's youth are so reckless, focusing on making noise rather than honing their craft. Such people can never succeed!"

"He must've pulled strings to get into the cast; I've never even heard of him before."

"Sun Yaowei was once one of Hong Kong's 'Four Heavenly Kings.' How dare this rookie speak such nonsense?"

"Even though he's a bit overconfident, he seems serious about Snowflower Goddess. Maybe it'll surprise us?"

"Yeah, right! Hyping before the release means nothing."

"I checked—this Du Sheng isn't even from a performing arts background. He's just a stuntman who usually does minor roles at Hengdian."

"What was Li Leduo thinking? Casting someone like this as a lead—he's risking everything!"

"This show is guaranteed to flop. If it succeeds, I'll eat my words publicly..."

In the midst of this storm, Du Sheng's bold statements earned him widespread "attention."

Though some rational voices called for waiting until the show aired to form opinions, these comments were soon drowned out by the tidal wave of negativity.

Even these defenders were harassed until they had to delete their posts.

This whirlwind of criticism made Du Sheng "famous," though only for scandalous reasons.

Fans of Sun Yaowei were particularly aggressive, ramping up their criticism. Meanwhile, Fan Bingbing's fan base stood poised, ready to attack when Snowflower Goddess premiered and crush the man involved in rumors with their idol.

However, Du Sheng remained unfazed.

Controversy bringing attention to the production was only beneficial.

Glancing at his interface, he noticed his reputation points had risen to 2,000, and his Weibo followers exceeded 350,000, which brought him some satisfaction.

His gaze swept over his skills but refrained from spending the points just yet.

His acting skills had already reached mastery, requiring 100,000 points to upgrade further.

His other skills—like singing, Debauchery Arts, and Dragon-Elephant Strength Technique—were sufficient for now. Upgrades for these required at least 10,000 points, which he lacked.

As for proficiency in driving, playing instruments, or the Star Shift Skill, these were either temporarily unnecessary or currently unusable. He planned to upgrade them later when his reputation points were abundant.

For now, saving his points seemed the wisest move, either for emergencies or for unlocking new skills.

Given his current investments, he estimated that the system's next lottery draw wouldn't be far off.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Snowflower Goddess crew officially relocated to the Alxa Desert, resuming intense filming.

Due to budget constraints, the entire production was scheduled to wrap in two months. With more than half completed, the timeline seemed manageable.

However, filming in the desert posed challenges—rest, sleep, and communication were all significant issues.

As soon as Du Sheng got off the plane and prepared to head to the set, his phone buzzed with a text message.

"Cousin, are you busy?"

Seeing Wang Yuyan's avatar, Du Sheng smiled and replied casually.

Although they were far apart, they had kept in touch regularly.

Sitting at her desk, Liu Yifei absentmindedly stared at her homework. Her mind wasn'

t on her studies at all.

Moments later, her phone lit up with Du Sheng's reply:

"Just landed in the Alxa Desert. What's up?"
