Extracting skills from movies

The weather on the east coast of Lighthouse in January is severe.

The cold wind cut through my skin like a sharp blade.

Despite the freezing weather, the three ladies, dressed in heavy winter clothing, looked very comfortable as they engaged in a lively discussion on the street.

"Alice, the work of the Asian singer you recommended is really good. I have listened to it several times."

Hearing her good sisters praising a yellow man, Kai couldn't help but interrupt:
"Today is the day Usher releases his single. Are you guys focusing on the wrong thing?"

She was a little skeptical about Alice's praise of Du Sheng, after all, she was a die-hard fan of Usher.

Alice turned to her friend on the other side and asked:

"Comella, have you heard his two new songs? They're really great!"

"It's really good. It ranked in the top 20 of the Billboard chart as soon as it was released. It's very popular!"

Comella replied.

She prefers the kind of dynamic music that can make people sway, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but sway along with the melody in her heart.

Alice felt a little disappointed when she saw that her two friends didn't pay much attention to Du Sheng. She then changed the subject and asked Kai:
"Kai, why would Usher suddenly release a new single? Didn't he say before that he would prepare it by the middle of the year?"

"Maybe they wanted to give a surprise gift to the fans who have been waiting for a long time."

Kai explained.

Even as a fan, she was surprised by this sudden announcement.

After all, there was no sign of this before. They suddenly announced the release of a new song just two days ago, and launched a publicity campaign within five days.

Some record stores didn't even have time to put the new songs on their shelves.

Fortunately, they are located in a big city, where the music market can always keep up with the trends quickly.

When they stepped into a record store, they saw the Usher poster hanging at the entrance.

Next to him is Du Sheng, and the song "Bad Day" is prominently marked on the poster.

Usher's new song "U Don't Have To Call" was playing on loop in the store, with the lyrics flowing from the speakers:

"Yo after tonight..."

Kai was very excited when he saw the poster of his idol.

To her, Usher is not only talented, but also unique.

Alice also thought that the song was okay, but she felt that it did not reach the heights of last year's hit song "Yeah!"

After Usher's song was over, it was time for the next song.

When the strong drum beats sound, the dynamic melody reaches its full potential.

Komera, who was wandering around bored, suddenly stopped in surprise, with a hint of surprise in her eyes:
"Hey, I think this song is more my style!"

"Where is the moment when needed the most..."

After hearing this, Alice felt that the voice was extremely familiar.

After listening carefully, she was sure that it was sung by the singer she had admired very much recently.

She was surprised and confused.

how can that be possible?
Hasn’t Du Sheng already released two hit songs?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any new works.

With doubts, she went to the shop owner to confirm.

Yes, this is indeed Du Sheng’s new work!

Compared to Usher's "U Don't Have To Call", this song has a faster tempo and brighter rhythm.

Du Sheng uses falsetto to accompany the sad piano melody and clever lyrics, bringing lasting emotional resonance to the audience.

It makes people want to vent as soon as they hear it. It is full of infectiousness and passion!
Even in the cold winter, this song can make people feel warm and energetic.

Comella has started swaying to the music. Even her heavy coat cannot stop her excitement. Her face is filled with a smile of enjoyment.

When the song ended, Comella turned to Kai and said excitedly:

"Kai, I think this song is better than Arthur's Bad Day!"

Kai seemed to be offended, and jumped up and said excitedly:

"Fuck! Comella, a mere Chinese singer, how can she compare to the world's number one singer, Usher!"

"Who cares about his identity? I only care about which song can move me more and make me live happily!"

Comella shrugged it off and left her friend, who was a little exasperated.

She walked straight to the front desk, ready to ask more information about the song.

But when she got to the cashier, she found Alice was already there with an incredible look on her face.

"Is this true? Du Sheng has released a new song? And more than one?"

"Alice, what's wrong?"

Comella looked at Alice, who was a little excited, and felt a little confused.

Alice excitedly grabbed Comella's hand:
“Comella, did you hear that?

The song "Bad Day" that was just played is the new song by Du Sheng that I mentioned to you yesterday!"

Before Comella could react, Kai, who was chasing after her, interrupted her in surprise.

"How is this possible? Is this Asian singer crazy?"

"How many songs were released to hit the charts at the same time in such a short period of time?"

"All the good songs have been released, how will the album be sold then?"

They are all music enthusiasts and are quite familiar with the rules of the music industry.

There has never been a precedent like Du Sheng's where several songs from one album hit the charts!
Because in everyone's mind, the album must be watered down, and it's good enough if it has two or three good songs.

Such good songs have been released as singles, who would buy the album?
Alice was also confused by this, but she remained optimistic:

“Maybe this is his friendly way of giving back to his fans!”

Kai shook his head helplessly after hearing this.

"Who cares what the reason is? I just like that song!"

Comella immediately found the owner:
"This singer has another new song? Can you play it for us?"

The fat shop owner smiled and replied:

“These new songs of Du are truly extraordinary, and in my opinion, these two songs can also break into the top 20 of Billboard singles!
Just wait and see, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the North American music scene next week!"

After that, he started playing another song from the CD, "You're Beautiful".

The three girls looked at each other, knowing what it meant to have four songs enter the top 20 of the Billboard.

Kai compared the new songs of Usher and Du Sheng again, and suddenly felt worried about his idol for no reason.

She can still tell whether a song is good or bad.

I'm afraid that Usher will not only fail to crush the latter this time, but may even become a stepping stone for others...

.........

Meanwhile, Los Angeles.

The temperature here hovers around 20 degrees, and many citizens are still wearing light clothing.

On an outdoor stage, a crowd gathered, with people of different races coming together.

Among them, the proportion of people with yellow skin is abnormally high, exceeding 40%.

This is rare in non-Chinatown areas.

But at this moment everyone's attention is focused on the music, dancing to the melody, regardless of race.

Even though Du Sheng was singing non-stop, his breath remained stable and his singing was almost the same as the studio version.

The energetic music and visually impactful dance won rounds of applause from the audience.

What he is singing at this moment is, of course, the newly released single "You're Beautiful".

The song combines urban style with just the right harmony and a fast pace.

He also designed a signature dance move, which the audience imitated after seeing it.

As the number of audience members increased, they sang "Baby" next.

This song was popular in North America last year and it resonated with people.

After the performance, the audience cheered loudly, and it was obvious that the excitement had not yet subsided.

Especially the Chinese immigrants and boxing fans who have been following Du Sheng for a long time are reluctant to leave.

In this passionate atmosphere, almost everyone bought a single of Du Sheng and looked for opportunities to get an autograph.

Since coming to Dengta, Du Sheng has been conducting one or two such promotional activities almost every day.

"Brother Sheng, more and more people are watching our performances recently."

Wang Yaoyang said excitedly:
"Initially, it was mainly Chinese, but now there are more whites and Africans too!"

Du Sheng smiled and encouraged:
"The video is still hot now, so it will definitely attract some curious attention!"

Fortunately, he is going for the singer route this time, not rap.

Otherwise, it could be embarrassing if a black person jumped up to challenge you in the middle of a performance, or even challenged you like in the video. Many rappers have encountered similar situations and were embarrassed.

It’s not that the singer’s level is low, but during the intense promotion period, the schedule is tight and the physical and mental stress is high, which is very tiring in itself.

In this state, if you encounter a well-prepared challenger, you can easily be stunned and speechless by the opponent's series of attacks.

Of course, Du Sheng’s identity as a boxing champion is there, and everyone is just curious. Their IQ is not so low as to be masochistic.

Moreover, he has the support of Sony behind him and will communicate with the venue in advance, so generally no one dares to cause trouble.

In addition, in addition to being curious about Du Sheng's mysterious kung fu, people also came here because his single actually surpassed Usher's Whip.

Now, his four singles, including "Let Me Love You", have entered the top five of the Billboard charts.

"Bad Day" also made it into the top ten.

Although the other two songs are still lingering in the top 20, they have strong staying power and are expected to be driven by the first two songs and advance together!
Usher's single "U Don't Have To Call" also made it into the top ten.

But I don’t know if it’s because the melody is not good enough, the singing style is too rap-like, or the audience is not wide enough, but it has not been able to break into the top five.

People in the know knew that his single could achieve such success and also snatched away Du Sheng’s resources.

Is this the result?

Now many people are laughing at the joke.

If Du Sheng can withstand the pressure this time and even defeat Usher, he will definitely become famous in one fell swoop!
By then, Shi Jinge and his group will surely seize this opportunity to promote it crazily!
Du Sheng is not afraid of causing controversy. What he lacks most in North America is traffic and public opinion.

In this age of information explosion, even good wine needs to be hidden away.

As long as they can attract public attention, with the quality of this album, they are not afraid of any challenges.

As long as a few singles can make it to the top of the billboard, the effect will be explosive!

As for the official release date of the entire album, Du Sheng set it for tomorrow.

Because the Spring Festival is in the middle of next month, he needs to return to China to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

There is still more than half a month in between, which is enough time for publicity and word-of-mouth fermentation.

Just when Du Sheng returned to the hotel, the Hester sisters also came.

Today's event was actually made possible by the capabilities behind their family.

One party was interested in publicity and promotion, while the other party wanted to take advantage of Du Sheng's popularity and scandals, so they hit it off.

However, the reason why the Hearst sisters came tonight was because they watched the video of his 1 VS 30 people and became very interested in him.

I want to see if his mysterious Chinese Kung Fu can deal with two sisters who are good at entanglement and have a tacit understanding at the same time.

After an hour of flexible discussion, although the discussion was frustrating for them, it turned out that the skills were still very useful.

For example, attacking from both sides could prevent Du Sheng from moving his hands and feet.

However, their kung fu had not yet been perfected and they could still be easily defeated by Du Sheng, which made them quite distressed.

"Can you teach us your amazing Kung Fu?"

Lydia felt angry when she saw Amanda lying lazily in the bathtub, not wanting to move.

We had agreed before that we would work together to win over the man and make him willingly cooperate with the hype, but this is the result?
She knew she couldn't count on him, so she simply let Du Sheng, who was still calm and composed, pick her up and walk towards the bedroom.

"Of course, but whether it can be successful depends on your perseverance and persistence."

Du Sheng put her down with a smile and said:
“Based on the results of tonight’s competition, your practice is still a little lacking.

At the very least, the durability aspect needs to be improved!"

Lydia didn't know whether she understood or not, her face flushed and she pinched his arm angrily:
"Who can stand sparring with a monster like you?"

No wonder the opponent could fight 30 people alone without even breathing hard. This really cannot be explained by science.

After chatting for a while, Du Sheng suddenly asked:

"By the way, you just said that you caught Usher in a scandal. What exactly happened?"

Lydia lay in his arms with charming eyes and smiled mysteriously:
“You’ll know tomorrow, remember to read the report.

It’s guaranteed to be exciting!”

Du Sheng's album also features performances by the sisters, who even play the female lead in the MVs of two songs. It can be said that they rise and fall together.

After all, popularity is a mutually reinforcing thing.

What's more, they have been taking advantage of the popularity of Du Sheng's video to hype up scandals.

Therefore, in addition to providing Du Sheng with publicity and promotion convenience, they also let paparazzi from several newspapers of the Hearst Group keep an eye on Usher at all times.

Who let this Wang Badan seize the resources?

Do you dare to compete with your man on the Billboard chart?

Simply looking for death!
Hearst Group is indeed a giant in the publishing industry. The power of its 15 daily newspapers, 34 weeklies and more than 300 magazines around the world is not something that ordinary people can compete with.

It's only been three days, but Usher's sore spot has been found.

And it's the kind that explodes.

Du Sheng was a little curious, and when he saw that the girl refused to speak, he immediately became furious:
"You don't want to tell me, right? I'll let you try the feeling of 'Three Strike at the White Bone Demon'!"

As he spoke, he turned Lydia over without paying any attention to the frightened Lydia.

What Sun Wukong can do, he can do too!

.........

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

After Du Sheng finished washing up, he saw the sisters still sleeping like pigs, shook his head and walked out.

While he was busy preparing for the remaining three days of promotion,
The peaceful North American music world was suddenly broken by a shocking news.

Young girl Jonna Bond bravely stood up and revealed a shocking secret to the world.

At a chart-topping event the day before yesterday, she won a chance to have dinner with her idol Usher through a lucky draw.

But she never expected that she would find herself raped after waking up.

Besides her, there were 6 naked and unconscious female fans in the room.

Usher seemed to have gotten too high from eating noodles and was still nudging the pig regardless of anything!

This news was like a bombshell, causing a sensation in the entertainment industry.

As we all know, Usher, a black man, has always had a gang background, so it is not surprising that he has access to illegal substances.

The reason why the public is angry is that it involves a mysterious underage white girl!
The two famous newspapers owned by Hearst somehow managed to take some photos of the scene and quickly reported it in the entertainment section.

A newspaper used a striking headline "Usher: The Dark Private Life Beneath the Halo" and accompanied it with large, disgusting pictures, detailing the girl's experience and psychological trauma.

Another newspaper, with the title "The Usher Scandal: The Music Industry's Moral Earthquake", dug deep into the matter and interviewed many people in the industry, and countless people began to condemn it.

Although the North American entertainment industry is full of materialism, everyone still has to save face. You can do it but don't let anyone prove it!
Now that it has been exposed and the company behind it can't cover up the fire, don't blame them for eating the remaining traffic.

As the boundless public opinion spread, the news spread like wildfire.

Usher's fans were in shock and pain.

Some fans began to doubt the idols they had always supported.

There was also an uproar on social media.

The topic #Usher scandal# quickly became the top trending search.

Countless people expressed their opinions online, condemning Usher's behavior.

Not surprisingly, his singles were also affected.

The Billboard ranking has dropped instead of rising, a drop that is visible to the naked eye.

People seem to be eager to find a little solace in pure music amid the shadow of scandal.

I accidentally noticed that Du Sheng had four songs on the Billboard charts, and I also happened to see a report about him shopping with the Hester sisters...

With such curiosity, something out of control happened.

Du Sheng’s soulful songs instantly became a haven for purifying the public’s souls.

The radio station received a large number of requests from listeners to play Du Sheng's songs, and the sales of Du Sheng's albums in music stores also began to rise steadily.

Thanks to this wave of popularity, "Let Me Love You" jumped directly from fifth place on the Billboard chart to the top!
Driven by this, the other three songs also made a big leap forward.

"Times make heroes!"

After reading the newspaper, Du Sheng couldn't help but sigh at the awesomeness of the local tyrants.

Only then did he realize that Shi Jinge was behind this incident, otherwise it would not have become known to everyone so quickly.

In this way, his English album has become a complete success.

I can’t say whether it can make it into the top three of the annual album chart, but it should be possible to earn thirty or twenty million US dollars.

On the other hand, Usher's team tried to save the situation, but the storm of public opinion became more and more fierce.

Under Shi Jinge's slightly gloating "care", Andrew smashed the phone fiercely and withdrew the subsequent resources invested in Usher.

I don’t know if Usher became proud after his success or if he didn’t expect things to become so serious.

The sales of his new album were severely impacted, and his originally scheduled concert tour was also affected, with many venues beginning to receive ticket refund requests.

This wave of people were inexplicably caught up in the vortex of struggle and lost everything.
