Extracting skills from movies

When Liu Yifei arrived at the rehearsal site,
She was deeply moved by the sight of those martial arts school students, whose bodies were already covered with scars in order to adapt to the program.

She knew very well that the most strenuous activities in the Spring Festival Gala were martial arts and acrobatics.

Because unlike skits and singing where you can lip-sync, both of these require continuous practice.

If there were any mistakes during the Spring Festival Gala, it would be a serious performance accident, equivalent to embarrassing the whole Chinese people.

Inspired by these martial arts school students, Liu Yifei was unwilling to fall behind.

She took Du Sheng to practice martial arts moves over and over again, pursuing ultimate perfection.

Seeing this girl so dedicated and serious, Du Sheng was naturally happy to see it happen.

He took this opportunity to show her the moves he had carefully designed before.

When Du Sheng was instructing Liu Yifei in boxing, Jiao Naiji was watching carefully.

As a martial arts school coach and planner of this program, he has been responsible for the planning of the Spring Festival Gala martial arts programs for three consecutive years.

But unfortunately, I have not won any award in the past few years.

This year, he invited two action masters, Cheng Long and Du Sheng, to join him, hoping that they could stand out on the Spring Festival Gala stage and win a trophy.

At first, Jiao Naiji was somewhat dissatisfied with Du Sheng and Liu Yifei's consecutive absence from rehearsals.

But when he witnessed with his own eyes the movements that Du Sheng designed for Liu Yifei, all his complaints disappeared in an instant.

A true expert can immediately see the difference in something.

The movements designed by Du Sheng not only have outstanding visual effects, but also contain murderous intent behind each movement, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary routines.

This is probably the difference between actual combat and performance.

Jiao Naiji took the initiative to seek advice from Du Sheng, hoping to learn more about different styles of martial arts so that he could use it in the future.

Du Sheng did not hold back and generously shared the skills and knowledge he gained from the lottery.

Most martial arts schools are reserved when teaching to external parties and will not fully disclose their most core techniques.

However, if martial arts are not authentic, not only will they lose their practical significance, but their viewing value will also be greatly reduced.

Real kung fu is about killing skills, not fancy moves.

Du Sheng pointed out that although the Shaolin martial arts he practiced cultivated both internal and external skills, the external skills were particularly important, and the core lay in the body movements.

After Jiao Naiji corrected several footwork errors, he seemed to suddenly see the light and felt even more grateful.

However, he knew that Du Sheng was not a pedantic person, so he put aside the desire to repay him and passed on the new knowledge he had learned to other students and incorporated it into the program.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits during the rehearsal, Du Sheng did not intervene.

This time, I corrected Jiao Naiji's misunderstanding, just as compensation for not participating in the rehearsal before.

These martial arts school students have a positive attitude, but their foundation is still a bit weak, and too much guidance would be counterproductive.

As New Year's Eve approaches, the air is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the Spring Festival Gala studio reached a climax.

Du Sheng and Liu Yifei would hear countless “Happy New Year” during every rehearsal, so much so that on New Year’s Eve, they all had a physiological reaction to this blessing.

After countless intense rehearsals and formal recordings, the official performance finally arrived.

Although they were familiar with the entire process, everyone was extremely focused at this moment and strived for perfection.

Under the anticipation of countless audiences, Du Sheng and his group's show was scheduled to be the eighth to be performed.

Many fans who have seen the program list have been looking forward to it.

When they saw Du Sheng, dressed in a tight suit and leading the way in high spirits, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Because he started the show by doing a series of somersaults, flipping straight from the backstage to the stage.

The momentum is like thousands of troops charging into battle, or like a dragon emerging from the sea, mighty and majestic.

The overwhelming momentum strongly impacted the audience's vision.

Only a strong man who has real kung fu and can defeat a hundred people at the same time can be so murderous.

When the show ended and he walked down from the stage, even the experienced Du Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From now on, I would rather participate in a few boxing matches than go through the ordeal of the Spring Festival Gala again.

It's really too energy-consuming.

"Brother Long, Brother Hua, let's go to the Capital Hotel!"

Du Sheng called out to Cheng Long, Liu Dehua and others who were packing up:
"I've already booked a private room, no one can escape!"

During the Spring Festival, almost all major hotels in Beijing were fully booked.

Many families choose to celebrate the New Year in hotels or restaurants because they have many members and do not want to work hard.

As one of the best restaurants in the area, all the private rooms of Capital Hotel were booked out long ago.

The largest banquet hall was particularly lively, with waiters coming in and out frequently, busy serving food and pouring wine.

As the door opened and closed, laughter rang out.

There are neatly arranged dining tables on one side of the banquet hall and karaoke facilities on the other.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV screen, and the host was passionately counting down to midnight.

"Three! Two! One!! Happy New Year everyone!"

Along with the cheers on TV, the sound of clinking glasses was heard in the banquet hall.

"cheers!"

"Happy New Year!"

Du Sheng and Cheng Long drank the wine in their hands.

Liu Dehua, who could drink less, also tried his best to drink half a glass.

As the host, Du Sheng naturally has to fulfill his duties as a good host.

Especially considering that this is the first time that Cheng Long and his friends have celebrated the New Year in Beijing.

In addition, after rehearsing in the studio for so many days, everyone was already tired of that closed environment.

"Ah Sheng, give me an approximate time so I can prepare in advance."

Cheng Long was already a little drunk, and his tongue was a little tangled as he hugged Du Sheng.

"Didn't we agree to start filming after the summer vacation? I'll keep the schedule for you then."

Du Sheng guessed that he was referring to the new movie that was scheduled to start shooting this year.

"Baby Plan"!
Cheng Long received this script last year, but due to the difficulty in filming, it has been in preparation.

In the previous life, this movie was jointly invested by Cheng Long, Ying Huang, and Huayi, and was promoted by Ying Huang.

Since Emperor Ying was attracted by Du Sheng's popularity in mainland China and Asia, as well as the Miracle Cinemas behind him, he has been lobbying since December last year.

Boss Yang even asked TWINS to do everything they could to convince him to perform, which shows how much he values ​​it.

Du Sheng knew that this movie helped Jackie Chan regain some popularity, and he was later invited to star in "Rush Hour 3", so the box office and reputation were quite good.

But with an international star like Jackie Chan starring in the film, the investment is still not low, even if his salary is cut.

According to Boss Yang, raising over 100 million yuan is inevitable, so he plans to split it equally among the three parties.

Du Sheng had no objection to this.

Although he has gained some popularity in North America with his records, he needs to produce a steady stream of works if he wants to sustain it.

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Cheng Long smiled vaguely and said:
"I'm asking you when you're going to reveal your girlfriends so I can prepare gifts for them!"

"Haha, then you'll have to wait."

Du Sheng knew he was joking, looked at Liu Yifei who was chatting and laughing with Yang Mi, and laughed back:

“Of course, it depends on what good gifts Brother Long has prepared.

If it’s too heavy, I can do it tomorrow.”

"Hey, you can't tell me now!"

Cheng Long chuckled:
“I guarantee it will be a surprise you never expected!”

He himself is an expert in this field, but he can't be as elegant and graceful as Du Sheng, so he is very envious.

"Wouldn't it be a few villas in Qingshui Bay?"

Liu Dehua, who was watching the fun, interrupted with a smile:
"Brother Long will definitely not be stingy. He won't give anything less than 10 million!"

"Hua Zai, do you really think I'm the richest man in Hong Kong?"

Although Cheng Long was drunk, he was still sober and was not trapped by this sentence.

But given his temper, as long as he thinks something is worth giving away, he will never take it lightly.

On the other side, Liu Yifei was enjoying dinner happily with Yang Mi, Gao Yuanyuan and others.

Jia Jingwen sat aside, looking a little depressed.

Recently, she has obviously lost weight, but is still far from her ideal weight.

This is because she is about to join the cast of "The Princess Weiyoung" and play the lively and kind-hearted Princess An Ning.

In order to suit the role, she had to continue to stay slim.

Although she hasn't been overeating recently, her cheeks are still a little round due to her good living conditions and relaxed mentality.

Therefore, she decided to let Du Sheng continue to block her taste buds and not lower his requirements even during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing Jia Jingwen's depressed look, Liu Yifei couldn't help but suggest:
"How about letting your cousin help you relax and eat a little, and then continue your weight loss plan tomorrow?"

"That won't do. I've persisted until now and I can't give up halfway."

Jia Jingwen shook her head firmly, picked up the chopsticks and said:

"I can eat, but I don't have much appetite."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of golden fried chili and put it into her mouth.

Spiciness was the only flavor she could sense.

Therefore, during this period of time, she mainly relied on chili peppers to satisfy her appetite.

"Hiss——" The spicy smell spread quickly.

She took a breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then asked:
"Ah Sheng asked you Girls' Generation to be the guests at the concert? When was that?"

She thought to herself that if she had no work arrangements at that time, she would definitely go to the scene to feel the atmosphere.

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and answered:
"It should be the first stop in Modu."

According to the plan of Miracle Records, Du Sheng’s concert will first stop in Modu, followed by Beijing.

It will then tour major cities in the interior and finally return to coastal cities.

"Then it will take a long time before we meet again."

Jia Jingwen sighed.

Because after the Chinese New Year, she also has to join the crew early.

For a play directed by Lai Shui-ching, script reading is an essential part.

"We can make a phone call!"

Liu Yifei smiled and said:
"It will take at most half a year."

"Isn't half a year long enough? How many half years can a person have in his life?"

Jia Jingwen sighed, held her chin with her hand, and said somewhat depressedly:
"In the blink of an eye, I'm another year older."

Yang Mi nodded in agreement:

“You can be a mother now.”

Every time she opened her mouth, she could accurately hit Jia Jingwen's sensitive points.

"You little girl, are you itching for trouble?"

Jia Jingwen laughed and rebuked, saying with a hint of arrogance:
"My goal is to become an independent woman. I don't want to fall in love and get married so early, let alone have children!"

Yang Mi curled her lips and didn't even believe the punctuation marks.

Previously at the annual meeting, Jia Jingwen said that she was planning to have a baby, but now she said it so righteously.

Too fake!
"Only if someone is willing to marry you."

Gao Yuanyuan added casually.

Jia Jingwen immediately became excited:
"Who said no one wants me?

The people who want to pursue me can line up from here to Paris! And they are all rich big bosses! Humph! "

"Yeah, indeed."

Gao Yuanyuan attacked again and said:

"But those big bosses are very realistic. They think that girls with a little more plumpness are more suitable for childbearing."

"Zhou Zhiruo, I think you are the one who is itching for trouble!"

Jia Jingwen rolled up her sleeves angrily, ready to compete with Gao Yuanyuan.

"Okay, okay! Sister Wen, you are not fat at all."

Liu Yifei hugged Jia Jingwen and comforted her with a smile.

Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan are like a pair of happy enemies. They quarrel when they meet, but become close friends after they separate.

They look very much like Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

After Liu Yifei's teasing, Jia Jingwen gave up in disappointment.

Yang Mi looked at Du Sheng who was chatting and laughing with Cheng Long and others, and changed the topic:

"If only I could have half of Brother Sheng's talent, then maybe I'd have a chance to star in Brother Long's movie."

"With such a huge investment and so many people concerned, it's better to save the money."

Jia Jingwen said disapprovingly:

"And if I had his talent, I'd be willing to skip one meal a day and sleep two hours less."

Last year, Du Sheng's personal annual income exceeded nine figures.

And these are all net profits, not counting company and dividends!
If that were counted, he would probably become the richest man.

It's just that he is relatively low-key and too young, so Forbes didn't take a fancy to him.

Looking at Du Sheng talking and laughing, Liu Yifei felt a little sweet in her heart.

This is her cousin!

A one-of-a-kind cousin.

The kind that Yang Mi couldn't hate even if she wanted to!

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, Du Sheng became increasingly busy.

Completing the promotion in the mainland does not mean the end.

On the contrary, important cities such as Hong Kong and Macau Bay, Neon, and Kimchi Country must also be in place.

Therefore, he didn't have many opportunities for romance, and his first stop was Hong Kong.

February 2, Hong Kong International Airport.

As soon as Du Sheng arrived, he caused a heated response at the scene.

Hundreds of enthusiastic fans flocked to greet him.

In order to ensure Du Sheng's safety, Hong Kong not only dispatched police vehicles for escort, but also more than a dozen police officers to escort him along the way.

During the trip, there was always a team of cars driven by fans following closely behind Du Sheng's special car, sometimes with as many as a dozen cars.

There were even frequent overtaking incidents, and the situation was very tense at one point.

On February 2, Du Sheng went to Macau to participate in an event.

The TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" created a peak viewership rate of 38% in the local area, and the average viewership rate reached 32%, breaking the local record.

As a result, Du Sheng was personally received by the daughter of the gambling king and two special leaders.

He was treated as a state guest throughout the entire visit.

Cui Yayi and other accompanying personnel were both surprised and nervous.

After all, such courtesy exceeded their expectations.

Du Sheng’s promotional activities in Neon were also a huge success.

Thanks to the popularity of the two dramas "Full House" and "Chinese Paladin", plus the inspirational song "Blue Bird" is well-liked by Japanese audiences, and the far-reaching influence of the last "real fight video"...

Du Sheng's popularity is rising rapidly, and is no less than that of local superstars such as Kimura Takuya.

On February 2, the Marley royal family could no longer hold back and invited Du Sheng to tour.

When Du Sheng arrived in the country, despite the tight protection of the royal guards, the scene was still surrounded by enthusiastic fans.

As a result, the convoy could only move forward slowly.

During the promotion, the royal family expressed their love for Du Sheng and mentioned that he has become one of the most popular stars in the area.

At the same time, he hopes to use Du Sheng's popularity to hold a concert in Kuala Lumpur to save the local economy, attract surrounding Chinese to revitalize the tourism industry, etc.

The financial crisis has just ended and everything needs to be rebuilt.

The accompanying staff are almost Spartan. It turns out that Du Sheng is so popular overseas?
"Full House" has quickly become popular in China since its broadcast.

Du Sheng's records and film and television works achieved sales of over nine-digit Thai baht in just two months, setting an astonishing record.

Therefore, neighboring countries such as China and Yue Hong all hope that Du Sheng will include them in his concert tours to carry out promotional activities.

They hope to attract more international tourists through Du Sheng's influence and promote the recovery of the tourism industry.

Next, Du Sheng will head to his last destination, the country of kimchi.

This is an important challenge for him.

Because Korea is not only a fiercely competitive market, but also an important test for himself.

According to statistics, after "Full House" was broadcast in Korea, the number of members of the unofficial Du Sheng fan club exceeded 20 in just half a month, prompting KBS TV station to decide to rebroadcast the drama.

In order to communicate with their idols, a large number of fans are spontaneously reviewing Chinese.

Faced with such high enthusiasm, Du Sheng hopes to further consolidate his status as an Asian idol through this Asian tour.

And show the Koreans what real Asian star style is!

Kimchi Country, Seoul International Airport.

Du Sheng's flight had not yet landed, but the entire airport was already packed with his loyal fans.

They held various support banners and posters, waiting for their idols to arrive.

"Sisters, although we were unable to participate in the 'Real Fight! 1 VS 30' defense operation, our support for Du Sheng Oppa is no less than that of the Japanese!"

"Oppa is coming, we must show more enthusiasm than ever before and let him feel our sincerity!"

Several excited female fans shouted loudly.

In the airport meeting room, a man on duty was a little nervous and reported to the person in charge hurriedly:

“Director General, the number and enthusiasm of fans far exceeded our expectations!

The existing security force at the airport was simply not sufficient to deal with the situation and was unable to persuade them to leave.

Now that many flights are being handed over, it is difficult for passengers to enter and exit smoothly, and the airport operation has been hindered to a certain extent.

Once Du Sheng shows up, the airport could be thrown into total chaos.”

Director Huang rubbed his brows.

He had heard about the sensation Du Sheng caused abroad, and thought that those places were just small countries with few people and had never seen such a big scene.

Unexpectedly, the reaction from the Korean public was even stronger.

Just as he was worrying about this, his cell phone suddenly rang, and he immediately answered it with a serious attitude:

"Understood! I will handle everything properly and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

But when he hung up the phone, he still couldn't understand why his superiors would suddenly ask about such a thing.
