Extracting skills from movies

As the year draws to a close, many well-known companies are planning large-scale events.

For example, when Feng Xiaogang returned to Huayi, Huayi specially invited a group of big names and held a grand welcome ceremony for him.

This should have been hot news.

That is indeed how things developed.

At the beginning, it attracted a lot of media attention and public discussion, and Huayi's name frequently appeared on major media platforms.

Wang Zhongjun, who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, felt very proud.

He even confidently believed that the company's path to listing was just around the corner.

However, the good times did not last long.

The news heat that night quickly faded, replaced by topics related to the interstellar annual celebration.

Du Sheng's generous behavior at the annual celebration, even spending a million-dollar prize, quickly became the focus of heated discussion among netizens.

Huayi’s first shot of the new year was quietly drowned in the massive flow of information.

For Wang Zhongjun, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

He originally thought that this event would give the company a good start, but he didn't expect it to be a complete failure.

In comparison, the situation of the new Golden Melody Awards in Bay City is even more miserable.

This music award, which used to have a certain influence in the mainland, hardly caused much waves this time.

Both the mainland media and the public are focusing their attention on the annual StarCraft celebration.

Even the local residents of Bay City showed greater interest in Du Sheng's generosity.

After all, getting rich overnight is always the most attractive thing.

The allocation of music awards is often monotonous, and the faces of the winners are relatively fixed, making it difficult to inspire strong resonance among the public.

Eighty percent of this year's Golden Melody Awards were won by local singers or musicians from Taiwan, and none of the important awards were given to mainlanders.

This obvious regional limitation has caused the Golden Melody Awards to gradually lose its cross-regional appeal and become a typical "closed-door entertainment".

In this case, the lack of freshness and diversity makes it understandable that no one pays attention to it.

Of course, although Du Sheng, Zhou Huimin and Girls' Generation received relevant nominations, they ultimately chose to participate in the company's annual celebration.

This decision now seems to be undoubtedly correct.

Moreover, this annual celebration not only won Du Sheng numerous praises, but its popularity even surpassed Huayi’s big-name comeback and the Bay City Golden Melody Awards.

All we can say is that his popularity is already in a class of its own.

After the annual celebration, Du Sheng couldn't leave.

Because matters such as the expansion of Miracle Cinemas and Star Network Technology, the financing of Renren, and the acquisition of Skyworth shares have yet to be implemented.

In addition, the operation and coordination of Star Media and Phoenix TV in the first half of the year also need to be arranged.

"Director Lai has basically confirmed it, and filming will start after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."

Wang Jinhua came over and said:

"If you don't act in "The Princess Weiyoung" and only provide funding, he will ask Su Youpeng to act in it.

As for the two female protagonists, I will probably refer to the ones you recommended, Fan Bingbing and Jia Jingwen, is that ok?"

Du Sheng put down the financial report of Miracle Studio, thought for a moment and said:
"That's it, how about the investment amount?"

The drama "My Sassy Girl" had quite good ratings and was ranked among the top ten of the year in its previous life.

However, he is now focusing on concerts and movies and has little free time.

"For this tripartite investment, our investment of 1000 million is enough."

Wang Jinhua briefly explained a few words and then said:

"In addition, the drama Struggle has been almost prepared. Hou Hongliang is both the producer and director, and Tong David and Gao Yuanyuan have been initially selected as the leading actors..."

This drama is adapted from the novel of the same name. Hou Hongliang started preparing for it two months ago, so it’s almost time.

Du Sheng naturally had no objection to this.

After all, it was he who recommended Gao Yuanyuan, so he had some selfish motives.

This drama also had good ratings in its previous life and won two major awards.

This girl has starred in many youth-themed works, and her fresh, refined, intellectual and elegant temperament is very suitable for the heroine Charlene.

In addition to the above, "The Hidden Corner", which has also obtained the adaptation rights, and the sequel to "The Legend of the Spirit Realm", "Legend of the Spirit Realm", are also in preparation.

If we add in the currently filming "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty" and Phoenix TV's "Forensic Heroes", then the first half of this year can be said to be arranged perfectly.

At this point, Wang Jinhua remembered something and said:

"By the way, Ye Weixin said earlier that the post-production of "SPL" has been completed, and asked you to take some time to take a look."

Du Sheng nodded and said:
"I'll go there later when I do some publicity."

The film is expected to be released during the summer vacation, which is only a few months away.

If we take into account the early promotion and publicity, many things should be in place.

In addition, once the quality is confirmed to be good and the box office is roughly determined, the sequel "Flash Point" will also enter the preparation stage.

As for the "Wanted" that was originally planned to be filmed this year.

Although director Timo has preliminarily agreed to take over again, the screenwriter is gone, and the script and location scouting need to be sorted out, so it is estimated that filming will not start until the second half of the year.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you first."

Wang Jinhua knew that he would be very busy next, so she didn't bother him and went to discuss with Ye Jingzhi.

After the banquet, the crowd gradually dispersed and everyone began to say goodbye to each other.

The holiday is coming, and colleagues who have no announcements or business to attend are all eager to embark on their journey home.

In this era, the festive atmosphere is still strong.

Going home to spend the Spring Festival with family, relatives and friends is still the first choice for most people.

"Brother Sheng, remember to come to Beijing to play with us in a few days."

Yang Mi said excitedly when Du Sheng sent a few girls to the car.

Although Liu Shishi and Tang Yan did not speak, their eyes were full of anticipation.

In addition to the Spring Festival Gala stage, they still have several announcements to complete, so they can't relax for the time being.

"Cousin, my mother and I are spending the New Year in Beijing this year, don't forget to come visit us!"

Liu Yifei blinked her beautiful eyes and gave a reminder.

She and Liu Xiaoli moved to a villa in Beijing to make it convenient for them to go to school and do publicity.

"I remember, don't worry."

Du Sheng agreed to all the small requests one by one, and the group of girls left contentedly.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Baizhi came over with half-smiles on their faces.

Du Sheng knew clearly that these beauties had been waiting for him for a long time.

He thought about it, walked up to Ye Jingzhi and Zhong Zhen to say hello, and then took the girls out.

It's a rare occasion for Zhou Huimin and her friends to come over, so they will probably have to accompany them for shopping, playing, and practicing tonight.

The next morning, Du Sheng, who had gone through a hard battle, rubbed his body and got out of bed.

Fortunately, he had tried 1 VS 30 before, otherwise it would not be easy to deal with.

This time we are celebrating the New Year in advance. It is likely that we will not be able to go around congratulating or giving gifts like in previous years.

After all, the concert tour will be held after the Lantern Festival, and publicity and promotion must be carried out before that.

Before the Chinese New Year, you must visit some popular cities in the mainland.

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, I started traveling to major cities in Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, and Korea.

After saying goodbye to the girls, Du Sheng became completely busy.

Fortunately, the promotional methods are relatively fixed and the routines are just the same.

In addition to posting on the four major online platforms, offline platforms will also be doing it simultaneously.

For example, post concert posters in busy areas of the city, commercial streets, subway stations, bus stops and other crowded places.

Cooperate with local sponsors, such as businesses and brands, to carry out joint promotions.

Ye Jingzhi and the others have already prepared for this in advance, so there is no need for Du Sheng to intervene too much.

There are three main things that he needs to run at the moment.

First, hold press conferences in special venues in major cities.

Invite reporters from local newspapers, television stations, radio stations and other traditional media to participate, release relevant information about the concert, such as performance time, location, repertoire, ticket sales, etc., and answer reporters' questions.

This method can convey information to the public quickly and accurately, and expand the scope of publicity with the help of the influence of the media.

Last year, before holding his concert, Zhou Jielun held press conferences in multiple cities, attracting widespread attention from fans and the media.

Second, participate in entertainment programs, talk shows, etc. on local TV stations.

Many singers will appear on programs such as "Happy Camp" and "Tian Tian Brothers" when they hold concerts, expanding the coverage of their promotional methods.

Third, hold small concerts, fan meetings, etc. at local universities or large shopping malls to increase fan stickiness and loyalty.

In the past, Mayday held roadshows in shopping malls in many cities, attracting a large number of fans to participate.

Du Sheng had to travel to eight major cities before the New Year, so he was either rushing to a flight or on his way to a flight.

He was busy like this until the 29th day of the lunar year, when he finally ended his dizzying journey.

"Cousin, you said you would come in three days, but it's already been ten days..."

After returning to the capital, Du Sheng had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before he was visited by the resentful Liu Yifei.

He couldn't resist the other party's nagging, so just to relax, he went shopping and watched a play.

After buying a bunch of New Year gifts, the two randomly found a cinema, bought tickets to watch "Himalaya", and contributed two movie tickets to Zhang Baizhi.

This movie is considered the sequel to "Big Guy", still co-directed by Wei Jiahui and Du Qifeng, and is an absurd comedy set in India.

Du Sheng even knew why Du Qifeng made this movie.

The reason is also very bizarre, but it is because of the incredible "bone shrinking skill" in "Big Guy".

Wei Jiahui then developed a strong interest in India, and thus the script "Himalayan Star" was born.

At first, Du Sheng and Zhang Baizhi were invited to perform. He was filming "Initial D" at the time, and was even criticized by Zhang Baizhi for this.

What shocked her even more was that the film was shot in India, where she was horrified by the sanitary conditions.

Moreover, Tianzhu's food cannot be separated from spicy curry, so she has to rely on instant noodles to fill her stomach every day.

At the last StarWorld Annual Meeting, Liu Yifei had heard Zhang Baizhi complain about the film, so she became interested in the film and decided to check it out.

I have to say that she has a very low sense of humor. Even though the plot was bizarre, she still enjoyed watching it and couldn't stop laughing in the theater.

After watching the movie, Liu Yifei was still immersed in the joy brought by the movie and said excitedly:

"Sister Bo Zhi's 'peacock' look is stunning, and the 'Indians' played by the male actors are also hilarious.

The whole movie is like a dream without boundaries, it’s so fun!”

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"If you were asked to play the role of the 'girl who hates to get married', how would you feel about that?"

This character has a rather willful personality and behaves generously, but she is eager to get married, which is similar to the aspirations of several girls in Girls' Generation.

"I don't want it!"

Liu Yifei said coquettishly:

"I finally got over the role of Little Dragon Girl, and now I am asked to play a woman who is eager to get married?

Can't you let me play a normal person?"

Du Sheng gently touched the tip of her nose:

"Perfect things are often otherworldly, and down-to-earth roles can highlight acting skills."

"Then I won't be so perfect."

Liu Yifei smiled and took Du Sheng's arm:
"I want to be an ordinary person in the world and enjoy the fun of life."

"It's OK for the short-term experience, but I don't think it's necessarily the case in the long term."

Du Sheng laughed softly:

"Don't forget that ordinary people will be bothered by the daily necessities of life, and you might even become a shrew."

"Humph, I'm not a yellow-faced woman!"

Liu Yifei snorted and got into the car first:
"Then there will be no feelings. I can only watch you, my cousin, being affectionate with other women!"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"Aren't you a descendant of Nuwa? Why don't you sacrifice for love?"

"Ha ha!"

Liu Yifei blinked:
"Brother Ziling, you recognized the wrong person, didn't you?"

"..."

Du Sheng smiled and tapped the naughty girl's arm, then started the car.

"Oh my, Brother Xiaoyao is bullying Ling'er!"

Liu Yifei pretended to mutter angrily, covered her cheeks with her hands, and stomped her feet lightly while sitting in the passenger seat.

Seeing her like this, Du Sheng couldn't help but be amused and said:

"Okay, okay, Brother Xiaoyao is wrong. Come, let me give you a rub. It won't hurt after a little massage."

"Ok!"

Liu Yifei leaned her head over gently, and Du Sheng reached out and gently rubbed her Shenting, Baihui and other acupoints.

"And kiss more."

“mu duck!”

Du Sheng leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"It's not enough. How did Sister Yan kiss you last time? I want it too!"

"..."

Du Sheng was caught in a weak spot and had to give her another kiss.

"And you didn't accompany us after the annual celebration. You need to make up for it!"

Du Sheng suddenly stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead gently.

"oops!"

Liu Yifei covered her forehead and looked at him with a somewhat aggrieved look.

"If you kiss me again, my makeup will be ruined."

Du Sheng started the car and prepared to set off:
"Go back quickly, Aunt Li is still waiting for us to eat!"

"Humph! If you don't want to kiss me, then don't kiss me!"

Liu Yifei folded her arms and sat in the passenger seat with a sullen look on her face.

Du Sheng shook his head and smiled. This girl's mind was really unpredictable.

Then he drove the car slowly to the side of the road and stopped.

"what are you up to?"

Liu Yifei looked out the car window in confusion.

"Help you make sure your seat belt is fastened."

Du Sheng turned off the engine, turned on the hazard lights, pulled the handbrake, unbuckled his seat belt, and leaned slightly towards the passenger seat.

Silence is better than sound.

About five minutes later, the vehicle was running smoothly on the road again.

At this time, Du Sheng seemed particularly relaxed and comfortable.

Liu Yifei, who had seemed somewhat resentful before, now had a flushed face, as if she was drunk, and her breathing was a little rapid.

"Xixi, your kissing skills are not very good. You need to practice more."

Du Sheng commented casually.

"Humph! I won't practice..."

Liu Yifei muttered softly.

In a few months, she will be eighteen years old.

As she drew closer to the threshold of the adult world, her courage grew.

In the past, in front of Liu Xiaoli and Du Sheng, she always acted like a cute little girl who had not grown up, longing for hugs, caresses and kisses.

But now, she is more like a kitten growing up, with increasing curiosity and energy.

Especially after vaguely seeing the intimate relationship between Tang Yan and Du Sheng, his curiosity grew even stronger.

She always wanted to tease Du Sheng, make him angry and then act coquettishly and ask for forgiveness, or pretend to be angry and let Du Sheng coax her.

Although Du Sheng guessed the reason, he was still a little amused and helpless when faced with such a cute gesture.

What Liu Yifei loved to see the most was Du Sheng’s expression, which was both helpless and reluctant to blame her.

However, she also knew that Du Sheng was very busy recently, so they only spent time together in private occasionally.

Viewed from another angle, it is a pleasure to have a pretty girl act coquettishly occasionally in the midst of busy schedule.

But during the New Year period, many things are beyond our control.

Before she even arrived home, Liu Yifei's cell phone kept ringing.

They are all greetings and casual chats from classmates and friends.

Because she has been filming for the past few months, she rarely has the opportunity to return to school and meet with classmates and friends. They can only contact each other through phone calls.

Classmates even joked that she had become a big star and her whereabouts were so erratic that it was hard to see her.

In fact, Liu Yifei's popularity has indeed risen rapidly during this period, and she was named one of the new "Four Little Flowers".

Especially after adding the identity of "Girls' Generation", various related news reports emerged one after another.

However, even the biggest stars have to face learning tasks.

Liu Yifei is facing the upcoming final exams, but her final sketch has not made any progress.

Of course, the school often shows more understanding and tolerance towards famous alumni such as Liu Yifei and Du Sheng.

As long as you show up for the exam on time and go through the motions, you'll usually pass.

However, basic etiquette and respect are still essential.

For example, visiting someone.

After dinner, Du Sheng and Liu Yifei were considering whether to go to the teacher's house.

A sudden phone call summoned them to Yangshi again.

This is the last rehearsal, and we must make sure everything is perfect.

As one of the largest publicity platforms, the Spring Festival Gala plays an immeasurable role in enhancing personal image and popularity.

This year, not only Du Sheng, but also Cheng Long and Liu Dehua will participate.

This is also one of the reasons why Du Sheng accepted the invitation.

His schedule was extremely tight during this period and he was unable to find time to prepare the program independently, so he simply joined the team.

For example, Cheng Long's "Top Gun".

This program combines martial arts performances and song singing, and is very suitable for people with an action background.

Specifically, it is a carefully choreographed martial arts display combined with half of the singing of "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

Since the program contains martial arts elements, Du Sheng incorporated some of the martial arts moves he designed for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" into it to enrich the content of the program.

The program successfully passed the review after the first rehearsal half a month ago.

Although the two were unable to attend the next two rehearsals for some reason, they had to be there for the last one, otherwise it would be unacceptable.

Fortunately, Du Sheng and Liu Yifei practiced these movements together during the filming, and the two cooperated quite well.

Their performance won recognition from the director team, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

After all, this program brings together three well-known artists, Cheng Long, Du Sheng and Liu Yifei.

Coupled with the collective performance of hundreds of students from the martial arts school, it is one of the highlights of the Spring Festival Gala.

Any mistake may lead to unpredictable consequences.

In fact, Cheng Long had already foreseen the possible problems.

During the coordination process with the martial arts school, he had already reserved performance space for Du Sheng and Liu Yifei in advance.

Therefore, as long as their martial arts coordination is flawless, the success of the entire show is guaranteed.
