Extracting skills from movies

"Haha, Xiao Ye, this is not misleading."

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"I just told them the most blatant side of the entertainment industry.

Besides, where can you find a boss as kind as me?

But the subsequent training and basic instruction will depend on you."

Deng Ziqi and others may have good singing skills, but if they want to become a big star, there are many aspects involved.

For example, stage ability, personal charm, social skills, business acumen, performance ability, image management, ability to withstand stress, etc.

Especially if you want to get involved in the film and television industry or shoot MVs, you must understand some basic knowledge.

Otherwise, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

Ye Jingzhi knew very well how much Du Sheng valued these people, so she smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, everything has been planned."

Although you can make a lot of money by launching them into the market now while they are popular, this is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

She was a broker by profession, so she knew that more haste makes waste.

Miracle Records will tailor a complete guidance plan for them.

Each stage has clear learning content and small goals, at least you have to be like an artist.

Not only that, the company also invites top mentors from various fields at home and abroad to ensure that they can receive the best guidance.

Obviously, this is to prepare them for long-term development.

If it were ten years later when traffic was the mainstream, only a fool would do this.

I have to say that Star Media is really kind in this regard.

After returning to his residence, considering that tomorrow is the premiere of "Initial D", Du Sheng thought for a while and focused his attention on the lottery interface.

As the thought came to his mind, a giant carved egg weighing 160 mm and 250 grams appeared in front of him!
The carved egg is a monster from The Return of the Condor Heroes!

How outrageous is this data?

You can roughly compare it with eggs, which are generally around 40 mm/50 grams.

The eggs laid by common eagles are about 80 mm/120 grams.

Even the eggs of giant golden eagles are less than 90 mm.

You can imagine how big this half-pound thing is.

However, Du Sheng did not touch it easily.

Because this kind of eggshell is usually covered with a layer of gelatinous substance.

In addition to protecting the embryo and maintaining environmental temperature, some eggs are also toxic.

Considering that the Divine Condor has always had the habit of eating snakes, the one in front of it is most likely poisonous and cannot be eaten.

Even if it wasn't poisonous, Du Sheng wouldn't be so extravagant as to eat it.

After thinking for a while, he took out a wooden box that originally contained miscellaneous items, put some clean sand in it, then covered it with a cloth and put it in, and then covered it with sand again.

The Divine Eagle is a being comparable to a grandmaster, and its eggs can be sold at a huge price even if they do not hatch.

This protective layer must be properly placed, otherwise the carved egg will turn into a moldy egg, and you won't even be able to cry.

And once it hatches from the eggs, the young eagle must at least match the strength of a golden eagle, right?
As long as it is past its infancy, it should not be a problem for it to tear a tiger or leopard apart alive.

Then find a chance to learn some skills like "animal taming", which will definitely be a great special help.

………………

On April 4, night had not yet completely fallen.

Shenzhen Expo Plaza is already bustling with activity.

The premiere of "Initial D" will be held here grandly, attracting attention from all directions.

Not only did the media reporters occupy advantageous positions early on, but there were also many movie fans and Sheng fans from various Southeast Asian countries.

With excitement, they gathered outside the square early, looking forward to meeting their idol.

Although the premiere was scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m., there was already a bustling crowd outside the square at around 4 or 5 p.m.

Fans called Du Sheng “Brother Sheng”, “Li Xiaoyao”, “Asia’s Little King” and other affectionate names to express their love for Du Sheng.

This enthusiasm almost set the entire square on fire.

It also brought a bit of bustle to the surrounding residents.

As expected, the absolute protagonist of this movie premiere was Du Sheng.

Some people say why do reporters and media revolve around him alone?
As one of the top stars in mainland China, Du Sheng's popularity is unquestionable, and his commercial value is also at the top level.

Therefore, when he walked onto the red carpet arm in arm with Kyoko Fukada at around seven in the evening, the scene instantly became lively.

Both of them dressed up tonight, with Du Sheng wearing a rare white suit.

As for Kyoko Fukada, she arrived yesterday and couldn't wait to have a fight with the man.

She chose a white dress custom-made by Hermès, which was elegant and charming.

Facing the flashing lights in front of the camera, Du Sheng always maintained a warm smile.

He does not deliberately maintain a certain personality, but is born with this kind of affinity.

In addition to the director and the leading cast, the premiere also invited Mr. Yang from Yinghuang and Zhong Zhen, a representative of Star Media.

The collaboration between the two companies made the event even more star-studded.

After the investors finished their speeches, the main creative staff went on stage to be interviewed by the media.

As expected, most media attention remains on Du Sheng.

Wu Yanzu, Ren Dahua, Yu Wenle, Fukada Kyoko and others have long been accustomed to this and did not show any abnormality.

A reporter asked:
"Brother Sheng, what do you think of these fans who came from afar?"

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

“It’s an honor to see so many fans coming from different countries.”

Another reporter then asked:

"So what do you want to say about the movie Initial D?"

"I am confident that this film will even do well at the box office in Asia."

"Mr. Du, how much do you expect the mainland box office to achieve?"

"Mr. Du, Huang Xiaoming's "Dragon and Son" was released yesterday. It's currently gaining momentum. Do you feel any pressure?"

Other reporters were also rushing to ask questions.

Du Sheng answered frankly:

“As for the mainland box office, I think it should be around 40 to 50 million.

Of course, this is just personal speculation, and the actual results will depend on the premiere.

As for "Long Wei and His Son", Xiao Ming and I are good friends, so this can be considered an "internal competition".

I am also looking forward to his works, as hard work pays off.

As for the results, let us wait and see.”

The reporter's meaning is actually self-evident.

Two of the top four young actors are competing on the same stage for the first time. Who will come out on top?
This gimmick is still pretty good.

At the very least, the exposure and noise are sufficient.

In addition to Huang Xiaoming, "Long Wei and Son" also has Hong Yubao to escort the cast, which can be regarded as a benefit given by Mrs. Xiang to her son.

But now the pressure is on Huang Xiaoming's side.

After the interview, the film was officially screened.

For Du Sheng, although the plot was not unfamiliar to him, he still watched it carefully and enjoyed every wonderful moment.

Especially when he appeared on the screen as a racing driver, the screams of female fans immediately rang out in the venue, as if they were in a concert.

Du Sheng's image transformation, from an everyday image to a professional racing driver, really made the audience crazy.

There is no other reason.

So stunning.

Du Sheng’s acting skills in the finished film are impeccable, and she is more than qualified to act in this kind of idol movie.

After all, Zhou Jielun, who didn't have much acting skills in his previous life, can handle it easily.

The main purpose of this game is to show off your skills.

Coupled with his 183cm height and perfect body proportions, he is truly unique in today's entertainment industry.

Yu Wenle, who was standing next to him, was obviously shorter than him, and stood out in contrast.

In fact, the heights of entertainers in the entertainment industry are often falsely reported, but Du Sheng’s real height undoubtedly adds a lot of charm to him.

After the movie ended, the secretary Cui Yayi gave a thumbs up and said:
"Brother Sheng, your acting is so great, I am fascinated by it!"

Du Sheng responded with a faint smile and gave everyone a thumbs up.

After the premiere, the guests gradually left the scene.

Although the audience was somewhat reluctant to leave, they still left their seats while engaging in a heated discussion.

As one of the protagonists, Du Sheng naturally became one of the last people to leave.

The theater entrance was once again surrounded by flashing lights and media noise.

Reporters seemed eager to capture every detail and try to make the stunt as hype as possible.

"Mr. Du, I heard that your rumored girlfriend Fan Bingbing is about to..."

"Mr. Du Sheng, the last time the paparazzi photographed the North American rich sisters Hearst visiting the crew of "Flash Point"..." Faced with these old-fashioned questions, Du Sheng selectively ignored the gossip part.

Because celebrities like Lydia and Amanda are eager to create some hype or gimmicks to attract traffic, and they can't wait for him to recognize them.

Now he doesn't need to hype it up like this, at most he can use alternative methods to increase his exposure in North America.

Of course, since others came with good intentions, he did not let them go back empty-handed.

At least a deal worth several hundred million was negotiated.

"Brother Sheng, we are from Singapore, can you give us an autograph..."

When leaving the venue, even though there were security guards around to maintain order, it was still difficult to stop the crowded crowd and crazy fans.

Du Sheng didn't want to go and sign autographs and cause trouble, so he tried his best to smile and wave to everyone.

Occasionally, he would even reach out and gently hold the hands of some of the Southeast Asian fans who had come from far away.

Or ask Wang Yaoyang and others to give away some autographed photos and small peripheral gifts they brought with them.

He knew how difficult it was for these fans to see him.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After returning to the hotel, Du Sheng temporarily stayed in a hotel in Shenzhen.

Although he has purchased a villa in the local area, he has no time to renovate it, so he can only make do with it for the time being.

In the next few days, he will have to travel to Macau, Hong Kong and other places for roadshows.

After that, I have to go to Neon for the premiere, and deal with activities such as advertising endorsements that were postponed due to the filming of "Flash Point".

The busy schedule brought by fame left him with almost no free time.

If we include the endorsement invitations from Korea, Korea, and Indonesia, the number will be even higher.

Unfortunately, I can't get away for the moment.

After all, the popularity of idols will eventually fade, it's just a matter of time.

Typically, an artist’s international influence weakens before its domestic influence, but the mainland’s top traffic stars in the past have shown a different trajectory.

They often gradually fade out of people's sight in other regions after gradually losing their edge in the domestic market.

Because of this particularity, Du Sheng needs to be more cautious and thoughtful in every step when planning his career.

Moreover, the domestic market is highly competitive and changes rapidly. If a company loses attention here, it may affect its popularity in other parts of the world.

Therefore, the most important task at present is to stabilize popularity.

.........

As expected, the box office of "Initial D" in mainland China exceeded 2500 million yuan in three days.

Thanks to Du Sheng's strong appeal, the film is expected to hit the top three in the annual box office.

In the past life, the top three mainland box office hits in 2005 were "The Promise", "The Myth" and "Seven Swords".

"Initial D" ranked fourth.

Now, with Du Sheng joining the team, it is almost foreseeable that the team will surpass this achievement.

According to the predictions of some experts online, the box office in mainland China is expected to reach 8000 million, and the box office in Asia will exceed 1.5 million.

If we count the sales of discs and peripherals...

The two investors, Yinghuang Entertainment and Star Media, will definitely make a profit.

In comparison, Huang Xiaoming's "Long Wei and Son" had a box office of less than 10 million in its first week, and the gap is obvious.

Those media who wanted to see a peak showdown were obviously disappointed.

As for "The Suspicious Ones", which is also scheduled for the May Day holiday, due to the popularity of the leading actors such as Liu Ye and Xu Xiyuan, it is not at the same level as Du Sheng and Huang Xiaoming.

Therefore, they are not considered direct competitors.

During a break in shooting an advertisement in a studio, Du Sheng was interviewed by Film Biweekly magazine.

After some politeness and praise, the reporter got straight to the point:
"Mr. Du Sheng, what do you think about Initial D's box office sales of 2500 million yuan in three days, its goal of becoming the top three in the mainland's annual box office, and its Hong Kong box office also ranking first?
Do you feel satisfied with this result?
In addition, Huang Xiaoming's "Dragon and Son" is about to break 10 million, and is also one of the strong competitors for the annual box office this year. What do you think of this competition?"

Du Sheng smiled softly and said slowly:

“Of course, box office is what every commercial film director and actor hopes to achieve, but I am more concerned about whether my acting skills can be recognized by the public.

As an artist, I believe that improvement in my abilities is more important than box office revenue.

I’m even thinking about trying some art films in the future…”

The reporter was obviously a little surprised.

After all, it is not a common choice for idol artists to turn to art films when they are at the peak of their popularity.

The most likely scenario is that it was for the prize.

But Du Sheng already has two Best Actor awards, does he still need these false titles?
The reporter couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts, so he asked tentatively:
"Are you doing this to hone your acting skills, or to get a national first-class actor certificate?"

"It's just a small goal."

Du Sheng said nonsense in all seriousness:

“I hope to improve my abilities by constantly challenging myself.

If I have the opportunity, I would like to try more different types of roles, not just limited to commercial films.

I believe that only in this way can one become a real actor..."

An actor who is willing to challenge himself and pursue art is indeed rare.

But Du Sheng is clearly not in this category.

This is how you increase your popularity and tell your fans.

"Brother Sheng, if you have the opportunity to act in an art film, what kind of role would you choose..."

Du Sheng just said it casually and had never considered acting in any art film.

Since the other party is obsessed with this question, it is easy to answer.

Because this is better than always dwelling on his scandals.

Soon after, the interview with "Film Biweekly" was successfully completed.

Du Sheng came to Neon again, ran a lap, and then prepared to shoot an advertisement for Sony Ericsson.

This time it was only renewed for one year.

Because Sony Ericsson is likely to disintegrate in the future, and it would not be good if this affected its public image.

Du Sheng sat aside, took the bottle of water handed to him by Cui Yayi, and took a sip.

"Please contact Sister Hua later. You can try to start the script."

"Is it so urgent? Didn't you say we'd talk about it in September?"

Cui Yayi read the script of "My Girl" and thought it was a very heartwarming and funny story with great potential to become a hit.

The problem is that Star Media is currently filming four dramas at the same time, and its production capacity is too high.

Even if we don’t mention the issues of funding and broadcasting, how do we find the director and the creative team?
"It's not urgent. It can be included in the plan for the second half of the year."

Of course Du Sheng would not say that if this drama was not filmed in advance, it would be registered by Korea later.

Cui Yayi asked Du Sheng curiously:
"Do you have a favorite heroine candidate?"

“Still considering it.”

In fact, Du Sheng already had two candidates in mind for the heroine Zhou Youlin.

One of them is Yang Mi.

I promised to compensate her with a drama because of the college entrance examination issue, and I will naturally keep my promise.

Of course, the biggest reason is that her facial features are delicate and her eyes are lively and bright, which is consistent with Zhou Youlin's appearance.

In addition, her performance style is lively and natural, which can well interpret Zhou Youlin's quirky, lively and lovely personality.

The second is Cheng Hao.

She previously played the role of a heartthrob in "Sex and the City", and her interpretation of the character's cleverness and charm was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It's just that this 'heartthrob' is still in the contract period and is not at all willing to come to Star Media.

According to the principle of priority, there is no reason to not select one's own artists.

If this continues, these internal complaints will cause problems to a greater or lesser extent.

"What about your rumored girlfriend Tong Liya?"

Hearing this name, Du Sheng said nonchalantly:
"That's just gossip, taken by a random person. Do you believe it?"

Cui Yayi rolled her eyes and said, “I’ve seen her with you twice. Do you think I should believe it or not?”
Based on the principle that the boss is the biggest and Brother Sheng is the best, she chose not to believe it.

"The heroine is quirky, lively and cute, which doesn't quite fit with Lea."

Du Sheng shrugged and explained:
"Especially since she is still filming the final part of "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty", so she is not under consideration for the time being."

"Indeed, she is very motivated. I admire her hard work in studying."

As Du Sheng's assistant, Cui Yayi naturally knew that Tong Liya had been ridiculed because of her skin color and spoken language.

In terms of acting, he is also a bit immature.

In order to change all this, Tong Liya did not forget to take extra classes to study while filming and endorsing products. She also had to take care of her studies during this time and could not stop for a day.

"It is indeed difficult to play this role well."

Cui Yayi knew that this drama was a casting exercise, so she thought for a moment and said:

"Zhao Qi is quite suitable. Hasn't she always said that she wants to work with you? Did you not respond because of her previous negative news?"

Anyone who has watched "The Fantasy Princess" knows that Zhao Qi portrayed Xiaoyanzi's liveliness, playfulness, wit and bravery to perfection.

From all aspects, she is indeed quite suitable for this heroine.

The status, popularity and influence are all enough.

But the problem is
