Extracting skills from movies

Chapter 608 The traitor will never die
Towards the afternoon, Du Sheng arrived at the Warner Bros. crew meeting room.

When I opened the door, a long conference table came into view, with seven or eight people sitting around it.

The entire conference room was filled with an atmosphere of chaos.

All kinds of items were scattered on the floor and on the table, creating a mess.

At the door, a doll was lying on the ground, with its key parts exposed, which looked particularly weird.

Looking deeper into the conference room, all kinds of cartoon objects filled every corner.

Elephants, giraffes, monkeys, etc., roughly speaking, there are at least a dozen different animal shapes, which is dazzling.

This scene made Du Sheng a little dazed for a moment, thinking he had come to the wrong place.

This doesn't look like Martin Scorsese's crew meeting room, it looks more like Disneyland.

Soon, Du Sheng's gaze shifted away from these strange decorations and fell on the person sitting on one side of the conference table.

Just from his appearance, that person exudes an innate villain temperament.

Who else but Jack Nicholson!
From the different looks from the people around him, Du Sheng vaguely understood that these strange arrangements were most likely inextricably linked to Nicholson.

He stepped over a Donald Duck-shaped toy and walked to the right side of the conference table.

According to the crew's convention, the first seat is undoubtedly Leonardo's exclusive.

Du Sheng either sat in the second seat or sat next to Jack Nicholson.

He noticed that there was a huge bear doll standing on the seat next to the old actor.

It's not unusual to have a standing figure in a cluttered area, but it's strange that there's no one placed next to anyone else's chair.

"Brother Sheng, this way!"

Du Sheng didn't need to worry anymore and walked towards Blake Lively who was waving to him enthusiastically.

Jack Nicholson turned his head and looked at the two people talking and laughing over there, revealing his iconic evil smile.

The look was as if he had transformed into the Joker in Batman, which was chilling.

Seeing this, Du Sheng just smiled back.

Before this, they had never met each other before, so it was inappropriate to start a conversation rashly.

Over the next ten or so minutes, other members of the crew walked into the conference room one after another.

Most people look surprised when they see cartoon objects all over the floor.

And those senior members who have been in the crew longer naturally turned their attention to Jack Nicholson.

Their reactions showed that pranks like Nicholson's were common.

As more people arrived, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became lively.

At this time, Leonor walked in and saw the Mickey Mouse toy on his seat, and couldn't help but chuckle:

“Is this a big giveaway by Disney?”

Du Sheng saw him coming and greeted him with a smile.

Leonardo nodded slightly in response, gave a thumbs up and smiled:

"You're really good at hooking up with even the Hester sisters."

Du Sheng knew that Leonardo and the Hester sisters were very close, so he smiled and said:
"My dealings with them are more of business, you misunderstood."

After all, every time we meet we have to discuss a business worth hundreds of millions, so big deals must be put in the right place.

While they were chatting, Matt Damon walked in from the door.

He saw the empty seat next to Leonardo and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the two people who were originally chatting happily stopped suddenly, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Matt Damon first greeted Leonardo, then turned around and said:
"It is truly remarkable that a Chinese person can achieve this."

Is this statement related to the roles of the crew, or something else?

Du Sheng was too lazy to think about it and responded casually:

"Compared to what you've achieved with Saving Private Ryan and the Jason Bourne series, that's a far cry."

Matt Damon is a man who has made it to the level of a celebrity. He is definitely not a pedantic person. He laughed and said:

"I can't partner with Leonardo right away. This is what I admire most about you."

Du Sheng did not evade the question and responded with a smile:

"That's the beauty of Hollywood, anything can happen."

After hearing this, Damon smiled kindly.

It is exactly the same as the honest image he usually gives people, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

The chatter in the conference room died down as director Martin Scorsese entered.

When he saw the cartoon toys all over the floor, he shook his head and said:

"Jack, it's boring if you do this all the time."

Jack Nicholson said with a mischievous smile on his face:
"Meetings are so boring. I'm trying to give everyone a sense of ceremony."

Scorsese and Nicholson have known each other for decades and are no longer surprised by this.

He glanced at everyone and announced:

"It's rare that everyone is here today, so let's start the reading."

Everyone took out their scripts, and for a moment, the conference room was filled with the rustling sound of flipping papers.

The assistant quickly stepped forward and turned on the projector.

Scorsese picked up the courseware he had carefully prepared and began to explain the plot and the intricate relationships between the characters in detail.

As Scorsese's presentation was coming to an end, Matt Damon stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom.

At this moment, Jack Nicholson suddenly pressed the mysterious device that had been hidden by the script.

"puff--"

A muffled sound broke the silence in the meeting room.

The bear doll that was originally placed upright suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a bunch of messy items.

Among them, a female bra fell exactly on Matt Damon's head.

This sudden scene left everyone stunned.

Leonardo subconsciously shrank back, keeping as much distance from Matt Damon as possible.

Matt Damon could no longer maintain his honest image, grabbed the underwear on his head, and asked angrily:

"Who did it?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little tense.

Du Sheng looked at Nicholson calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

If I had been sitting in that position just now, I would probably have been caught in this prank.

Nicholson was not shy about it. He casually unveiled the electronic device that was covered by the script and said:

"This kind of meeting is too boring. We have to find something fun to relieve the boredom."

He glanced at Matt Damon and continued:

"It's just a little joke. You won't take it seriously, old man?"

Matt Damon was so angry that he threw his underwear onto the conference table.

Before he could get angry, Nicholson turned his gaze to Du Sheng and said with a smile:

"I originally wanted to play a trick on this Asian...

Oh no, it was the reaction of this master who dared to challenge Tyson.

I didn't expect his reaction to be so great, and the consequences will befall you."

Matt Damon turned to look at Du Sheng, and seeing that he looked innocent, he didn't know what to say, so he could only turn to the bathroom with a sullen face.

Zhang Haolong, who was standing in the corner, finally understood what was going on. He couldn't help but glance at Du Sheng, but the latter smiled and shook his head to persuade him to stop.

There was no sign of anything unusual on Du Sheng's face, and he even nodded to Nicholson as a response.

Nicholson was forthright.

He was already very familiar with pranks like this, and had done them so many times that he couldn't even remember them all.

At this time, Scorsese, who had just returned, heard the secretary's report and said with a gloomy face:

"Jack, this is enough. Stop messing around on the set."

Nicholson waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"Of course, no one will be fooled again."

Du Sheng looked at this scene, thinking deeply. It seemed that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary.

The subsequent script reading went smoothly, as if the previous incident had never happened.

After the meeting, Scorsese was the first to leave.

Matt Damon also hurriedly stood up and walked out quickly.

Du Sheng ignored the others, walked straight to Leonardo and said:
"Let's go have a drink together on the day of the opening ceremony?"

“Just drinking is boring.”

Leonardo responded with a laugh, and suddenly changed the subject:
“I heard from the Hester sisters that you attended their party before and helped them understand many mysterious techniques from the East.

You can even do high-altitude spinning stunts?"

Du Sheng didn't expect Amanda to expose such a thing to the public. It can only be said that the people here are too open-minded.

"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

Leonardo lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"This is a place full of beautiful women. I plan to contact a few Victoria's Secret Angel-level models and hold a carnival party in the villa.

How about you come and join us? Let us open our eyes!

I'm tired of the usual tricks, and I've never seen a dragon drill in the sky."

Judging from his tone, he is obviously very envious of Eastern Kung Fu.

I even want to ask for advice.

Du Sheng: “…”

Does this count as a pair of snakes and rats in the same nest, working in cahoots with each other?
After a brief thought, he decided that it would be a good idea to maintain good relations. After all, they would be indispensable ties on the international stage in the future.

"What levels of models are there?"

Leonardo patted his chest confidently and said:
"Of course, people like Giselle and Adriana, as long as I invite them, they will definitely be happy to come."

This year, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is not as lonely as in previous years, and it is still one of the top events in the global fashion industry.

Being able to become a Victoria's Secret Angel is the highest honor in the modeling industry.

Gisele, Adriana, Heidi, Carolina, etc., mentioned casually by Leonardo, are among the best.

Du Sheng just smiled and said:
"Will they be willing to cooperate with the various activities at the party?"

Leonardo replied conceitedly:

"That's natural."

After a brief thought, Du Sheng nodded and said:
"Okay, let's make an appointment then."

He considered himself knowledgeable in the past two years, but he had never experienced the secrets of angels.

Moreover, he has a "special physique" that makes him immune to all infectious diseases.

Be fearless.

It’s good to try something new.

Just then, a big head suddenly stretched out.

It turned out to be the sophisticated guy named Jack Nicholson.

He smiled like a sly chicken and said:

"You two little brats, don't forget about this good thing, or don't blame me for being a big mouth!"

Du Sheng looked at the ferocious-looking old man with interest and said nothing.

Leonardo shrugged and said:

"Old Jack, you are old, can you do it?"

"Do you really think that my 3000 girlfriends are just exaggerated?"

Jack snorted disdainfully and said:

"Oriental boy, keep your Kung Fu skills in the ring. I will show you what real Kung Fu is!"

Leonardo knew that this man was old and no longer cared about personal gain.

Whatever you want to do, do it.

In addition, this cooperation will last at least two months, so the relationship must be good.

When the others saw a few people gathered together over there, they knew better than to disturb them.

Du Sheng naturally didn't care. There is a saying that goes "the guest should follow the host's wishes."

And he still hadn't figured out the old man's intentions before.

Is it his true nature or is he deliberately making things difficult?

Leonardo winked at Nicholson and said half-jokingly:

"As expected, he is the most fun-loving person in Hollywood. I have to see for myself."

Jack showed his signature sly smile, looked at Du Sheng and Leonardo and said:

"Let's get started. I'm looking forward to what new tricks you young people can come up with."

Leonardo turned to Du Sheng with a hint of anticipation:
"I believe there are many angels who would like to see it too. It all depends on your performance this time."

Du Sheng smiled and said:
"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Leonardo looked at his watch and then said:

"I have to take the final photos later. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, he left the meeting room.

Du Sheng also planned to leave, but deliberately slowed down his pace.

Sure enough, Nicholson slowly caught up.

Du Sheng turned his head and said directly:
"That bear toy thing just now, was it directed at me?"

Jack smiled even more brightly and admitted frankly:
"You're right. It's targeting you."

Du Sheng knew that for someone like Jack who confessed so directly, there must be more to come, so he waited patiently.

Jack smiled and said:
"An old friend asked me to teach you a lesson. We have known each other for more than ten years.

Whether out of favor to her or for other reasons, I have to do this favor.

After all, it’s not easy to find another producer who can have fun like this.”

Du Sheng knew that he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, so he smiled and said:
"Who is behind this?"

Nicholson laughed and said:
"I understand that you are not an ordinary person.

I still want to maintain my relationship with her. If you catch her, won’t my fun be gone? "

Du Sheng shook his head, knowing that he couldn't get the answer.

But you can guess it to some extent.

At this moment, he noticed a figure appearing at the corner on the left.

Du Sheng changed his mind and took the opportunity to put his arm around Jack's shoulders, blocking his view and said:

"Hearing what you said, I'm also interested. When can we work together?"

Jack was a little surprised, thinking he had run into a fellow traveler, and his smile was cunning:
"Who are you trying to trick?"

Du Sheng shrugged and said with a smile:
"What you said just now was too petty. If you want to do it, you have to do it in a big way..."

At this time, Damon, who was leaving the production department, happened to see Du Sheng and Jack having an intimate conversation.

I could vaguely hear them discussing how to play a prank on people.

Is this a sign of thief's continued evil intentions or a return to his old ways?
Damon frowned, his imagination running wild.

By the way, he and Ben Affleck are both members of the Weinstein faction, and they have no relationship with Jack.

Jack holds a very important position in Hollywood. He has a free and unrestrained style and extensive connections. He always looks down on Harvey's family.

Damon always kept his distance from such people.

But these two people in front of him, one of them brought money into the group and took his position.

One that embarrassed him in public.

Are these two planning to join forces now?

In the end, Matt Damon did not come forward, but turned to the other side and left with a blank expression.
