Extracting skills from movies

The concept was first proposed by Metropolitan Entertainment News.

Zheng Ziyan wrote in her article:

"Du Sheng is worthy of being the top star in the Chinese entertainment industry!

From hit TV series such as The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, The Chinese Paladin, Full House, and The Return of the Condor Heroes, to popular movies such as Infernal Affairs, House of Flying Daggers, and SPL, his performances have brought us endless emotions and surprises.”

“Behind these successive record-breaking performances in terms of viewership and box office are Du Sheng’s unremitting efforts and extraordinary talent over the years.

Are you curious about how Du Sheng grew from a stunt double to the household name he is today?
A few days ago, our special correspondent went to Beijing for an exclusive interview..."

Once this article was published, newspaper sales increased significantly, almost doubling.

The editor-in-chief realized that this was an endless treasure trove, and immediately asked Zheng Ziyan to lead a team to Beijing for an interview.

Why another interview?
That’s because the content reported previously was all fabricated.

Of course, Du Sheng must have approved of this.

The main purpose is to promote "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Other media also did not want to miss out on the trend and took action.

Southern Metropolis Daily, Suzhou Daily and other newspapers called one after another, and one editor-in-chief even visited in person.

The other party was introduced to Du Sheng through Zhong Zhen's relationship, and it was difficult for Du Sheng to refuse, so he simply took time out to accept the interview and used it as a promotion for "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

At the beginning of the interview, the reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily asked the following questions:
"Du Sheng, congratulations on selling 900 million copies of your English album worldwide, and it is expected to break the 1000 million mark soon.

It is said that the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry intends to award your record an unprecedented title - Super Diamond Record.

This is a great recognition for the artist, what do you think about it?"

In the international music industry, platinum records are usually used to honor works with sales of more than 100 million copies.

The diamond record is an honor reserved for albums whose sales reach tens of millions.

As for the so-called "super diamond record", it is more of a marketing strategy of the industry to celebrate and commemorate particularly successful record projects.

Although many albums throughout history have achieved similar success, this new title is undoubtedly a symbolic recognition of the success of Destiny.

After all, it has only been released for about half a year. Driven by the new single, it is 100% certain that global sales will exceed 10 million within the year.

According to feedback, in addition to the North American market, which contributed 5%, Europe, Japan, Korea, Singapore and other places accounted for nearly 4% in total.

As for how much it can achieve in the end, it depends on whether Europe and the United States can provide support.

And whether Sony is willing to provide more resources for promotion.

However, even if it stops at the expected 1200 million, it will still be a record-breaking event.

Looking at the whole of Asia, no one can achieve this sales volume this year, let alone the Chinese, even in Japan, the second largest voting base.

Facing the praise, Du Sheng just smiled modestly:
“I feel very honored to have achieved this.

All this is thanks to the love and support of fans around the world.

I will continue to work hard and devote myself to creating better music to give back to everyone."

Then, the reporter from Sujing Daily asked three questions in a row, focusing on the recent Golden Bell Awards ceremony in Taiwan:

"You and Girls' Generation were not present at the Chinese Music Awards held in Bay City last week.

Since you only released a few Chinese singles this year, you did not participate in the selection.

Although Girls' Generation's third album set an amazing domestic sales record, it failed to win any awards. What do you think about this? "

Du Sheng said lightly:

“We all had our own busy schedules and therefore didn’t pay much attention to the awards.

I choose to respect and understand the outcome.”

The Chinese Song Awards Ceremony held in Taiwan on September 9 was quite grand in scale, and several music big names from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong were invited.

At that time, Du Sheng was in the Beacon Country, and was unable to go even though he received an invitation from the organizer.

As for Girls' Generation, as a group they received relatively few nominations, only Best Group, Best Album, Best Dance Song, etc.

But this time it was held in Bay City, and there were groups like SHe, Fahrenheit, Mayday, 5566, etc. How could it be their turn to come to the fore?

In addition, although Du Sheng was nominated for several important awards including best lyricist, composer and producer for his album for Girls' Generation,

But the outrageous thing is that in the end, there was not a single hair.

Some people may ask, Girls’ Generation’s new album has sold very well in both Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, can’t the judges see it?
This is just like the Oscars, the more niche, artistic, and unique a work is, the greater the chance of winning.

If you don't act independently and uniquely, how can you appear to be awesome and superior to others as the judges?

The Fox Reporter also came and asked:
"Mr. Du, Time magazine previously estimated that your personal wealth has exceeded $10 billion.

At the recent World Wealth Forum, the Hurun Rich List also confirmed this estimate and pointed out that you will occupy a prominent position on next year's list.

Can you guess where you'll be on the list? "

Du Sheng smiled lightly and said:
“To be honest, I don’t really care about the specific rankings.

Wealth figures are just a way for the outside world to quantify the results of our work. My daily life is actually very simple, and I enjoy the ordinary beauty like most people.

If I have to say there is any difference, it is probably that I have made some small achievements in film, television, singing and martial arts. "

The reporter further asked:
"Mr. Du, can you give some advice to investors?
Shanda CEO Chen Tianqiao recently mentioned that the U.S. stock market is the most promising investment area in the world. How do you think it compares to the A-share market?

From the point of view of timing, both are at the starting point of the bull market.

But historical data shows that there are very few investors who are able to make profits in the stock market and exit safely.

In the end, the U.S. stock market directly wiped out all retail investors.

Although the A-share market is experiencing a special trend, the results are actually similar.

Not only will the previous profits be wiped out, but the company may even face serious losses.

In this regard, Du Sheng gave a relatively conservative suggestion:

“You may have heard that real estate companies such as Agile, Country Garden, and Vanke are about to go public in Hong Kong.

As the demographic dividend increases, it can be seen that this is a future trend.

Although there are many voices in the market that believe that housing prices will fall, I personally think that this area still has a certain degree of stability.”

Then another reporter mentioned the reality show over at the Lighthouse.

The show's ratings were not very good when it first aired, but because child star Elizabeth Olsen bought a poster of Du Sheng and put it on the head of her bed, it caused a fierce argument between her and her two twin sisters, which led to a significant increase in ratings.

Ashley Olsen complained that her younger sister's life was dominated by Du Sheng and she mentioned his name at least ten times a day.

The Olsen sisters were once very famous child stars in the country, and once made Britney Spears, who was the most popular actress in the world, pale in comparison.

Although they have now shifted their development focus to the fashion industry, they are still frequently noticed by the international entertainment industry.

As soon as this report came out, since it was related to Du Sheng, domestic media naturally paid attention to it.

"I am not aware of this matter yet, but if there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate with each other."

Of course Du Sheng had heard of the twins, but he was most interested in their younger sister Elizabeth.

Judging from his age, he should be not much different from Taylor.

If there is a destiny, cooperation that complements each other is possible.

Speaking of which, the Olsen sisters, who have left the category of child stars, seem to be trying to take advantage of his popularity this time.

The global popularity brought by the duel with Tyson is still surging.

With the new single boosting sales of his English album, his influence has gradually expanded to every corner of the entertainment industry.

Even celebrities from the Beacon Country are trying to connect with him in various ways to increase their popularity.

This made Du Sheng laugh and cry, and he couldn't help but sigh at the cycle of history.

Afterwards, another reporter asked questions about the scandal.

In order to keep the press conference from straying from the topic, he took the initiative to take over the interview and ensure that the discussion revolved around the publicity.

The interview lasted for more than half an hour, and after it ended he went straight to the airport.

Girls' Generation's tour in mainland China is almost halfway complete.

Since we are going to the western region next, we have to come back to rest. Since Du Sheng has some free time, of course he has to take it.

After meeting, there is bound to be some intimacy.

Du Sheng smiled and let the maids hug him one by one, and asked with concern:

"Did your recent concert go well? Did you feel particularly tired?"

Liu Yifei excitedly took his arm and said softly:

“I don’t really feel it’s hard, it’s just that fans always ask you why you don’t come as a guest.

We have been asked so many questions that we don’t know how to answer them.”

Liu Shishi smiled slightly and said lightly:

"For me, this is about the same intensity as my previous dance practice, and not even as tiring as practicing boxing every morning."

Yang Mi expressed her concerns:
"Brother Sheng, we didn't participate in the promotion of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Is that inappropriate?"

Tang Yan also echoed:

"The upcoming concert schedule is relatively light, and I think we can appropriately participate in some promotional work."

Du Sheng thought for a while and responded:

“Okay, there’s a show on Beijing TV this afternoon, let’s join in together.

As for the promotional activities in Beijing, you can decide whether to participate based on your own situation.

As for channels like Blueberry and Lychee, I will be in charge of them.”

Since the promotion plan of The Return of the Condor Heroes conflicted with the preparation time for Girls' Generation's concert, Du Sheng took the initiative to turn down most of their activities.

Apart from the variety shows on Phoenix TV and Mango TV, Girls' Generation has not recently participated in the promotion of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Du Sheng himself was not too actively involved in publicity work.

Faced with several complaints from producer Zhang Zhizong, Du Sheng seemed quite calm.

in the country, he can use platforms such as Renren and Tieba to carry out key promotions.

Coupled with his high popularity and that of the four members of Girls' Generation, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has already received enough attention.

In Du Sheng's opinion, the current publicity effect has reached saturation and there is no need to make too much investment.

Of course, after the copyright is sold, we still have to visit places like Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is estimated that they will be broadcast in October and November.

After getting in the car, Yang Mihuang pushed Liu Shishi aside and squeezed in next to Du Sheng, saying in a charming voice:

"Brother Sheng, is My Girl really going to start filming?"

Du Sheng smiled, knowing that this girl would not come to visit for no reason:

"Your pronunciation is not standard. If you continue to act like this, I will kill you right now."

"Haha, who's afraid of who? Come on, come on."

Yang Mi straightened her sizable chest with a hint of coquettishness and frivolity.

Tang Yan and Liu Shishi looked at each other and rolled their eyes speechlessly.

This girl probably noticed the strange changes in Du Sheng and them, and she could no longer hold back.

To them, Du Sheng was almost perfect in every aspect, and being executed by him on the spot was a dream opportunity.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by this?

"Yeah, I am indeed a little moved."

Yang Mi was thinking happily when she suddenly found that her body had risen from the seat and landed on a strong thigh.

"You still have time to regret it now, otherwise I will..."

But before Du Sheng could finish his words, several maids surrounded him.

Including Liu Yifei, everyone looked up at him with some hope.

It seems that everyone wants to try to execute the person on the spot.

Du Sheng: “…”

Are these girls crazy?

"Brother Sheng, what are you going to do?"

Yang Mi asked curiously, with anticipation glittering in her eyes:
“Is it really appropriate here?”

"It fits your head!"

Du Sheng tapped her forehead lightly, turned around and pushed her back to her seat.

"You've got the script, right? Tell me if you're suitable to play Zhou Youlin?"

It has been two months since the project of "My Girl" was launched.

If the company hadn't had to support Girls' Generation's concert and the timing wasn't a bit unfortunate, it would have probably started filming last week.

"Yes, Brother Sheng still understands me.

Don’t you think our personalities are compatible? So… I want to give it a try!”

Yang Mi walked around behind him and began to massage his shoulders with her slender fingers.

I have to say that her technique was quite professional and made Du Sheng feel very comfortable.

He closed his eyes in relaxation and adjusted the position of his headrest to get a better rest.

It was just an unexpected situation that happened.

Since the height of the headrest is exactly level with Yang Mi's chest, friction is inevitable when she leans back.

"oops……"

Yang Mi's cheeks turned red, but she didn't move away.

Tang Yan and Liu Yifei took a look and looked away at the same time.

Who can you blame for this? It's just that you're too big.

They even had some doubts in their hearts.

Everyone is being treated the same way by Du Sheng, why is there a sudden change in your behavior?
Du Sheng felt a small hand gently hammering his calf, which was extremely comfortable.

He didn't need to open his eyes to know that the gentle movement was made by no one else but Liu Shishi.

After Yang Mi massaged Du Sheng'an for a while, she crouched down and moved closer:
"Brother Sheng, if I play the role of Zhou Youlin, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Just act as you are now, and act yourself."

Du Sheng joked:
"Of course, it would be even better if you could show your cuteness and quirkiness."

"Haha, I'll do my best.

It would be great if you could act with me, Brother Sheng. Then I can be charming and seductive at will."

"Just relax. Since I recommended you to play the leading role, I naturally think you have a unique side."

"Thank you, Brother Sheng, I feel more confident now!

After the concert, I will find you to act privately when I am free!"

Thinking of the private scene, Yang Mi stood up happily and spun around on the spot.

The green skirt fluttered in the wind, showing off her slender legs full of youthful vitality.

Du Sheng's gaze was unconsciously drawn there, but he quickly looked away.

Because he was blocked by Liu Yifei's stupidity, he gave him a cold look angrily.

"Cousin, I am your cousin! Have you been a little biased lately? "
