Extracting skills from movies

"Yes, I almost forgot about Du!"

Gray turned around and asked:

"I remember he had been working with Sony, what's going on?"

Doug Davidson briefly introduced:

"He is very popular in Asia. For example, the movie "SPL" released during the summer vacation had a total box office of over 5 million RMB.

In North America, although it was released on a small scale, the revenue including the video tapes exceeded tens of millions of dollars..."

Even the experienced Gray was surprised to hear such numbers:
"No wonder Howard Shringer thinks highly of him."

Doug Davidson smiled:

“What’s even more rare is that Du’s achievements in music and boxing are equally brilliant.

If his ultimate showdown with Tyson becomes a hit, it will probably bring in a huge box office when the movie is released next year!"

Gray sighed:
"This is a man of many talents."

Doug Davidson responded:

"Do you know our internal estimate for the movie 'Baby Project' that Du Sheng filmed before?"

Gray showed a puzzled expression:
"The one I worked with Cheng Long?"

Doug Davis nodded:

"As long as the quality of the film is not too bad, with Du Sheng's popularity and Jackie Chan's global influence, it shouldn't be a problem for the box office to exceed 100 million US dollars."

Gray was surprised:
"Warner Bros. thinks so highly of him?"

Doug Davidson explains:

"He is not only an excellent actor, but also has many innovative ways of publicity and marketing."

"I think in the promotion of this movie, Du Sheng should be placed before Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson, and second only to Leonardo."

Gray hesitated:

"Matt Damon still has some appeal..."

Doug Davidson explains:

"His role is a little less."

The two seemed to be chatting in a relaxed manner, but in fact, they had reached a consensus on some aspects.

After all, Du Sheng is both the investor and the leading actor, so he has to let Damon play the supporting role.

The filming continued until twelve o'clock, the crew temporarily stopped work and everyone had lunch on the spot.

Du Sheng took the lunch box handed to him by Ma Yaowei and sat down in a place with few people.

Ma Yaowei said while eating:
"I just heard that Matt Damon will not join the crew until three days later."

"You rejected Weinstein's invitation before. He might have wanted to use that invitation to influence your role in the film in order to make room for Damon."

Du Sheng smiled disapprovingly:
"Opportunities are fleeting, and sitting and waiting is not my style."

Ma Yaowei chuckled:
"Leonardo invited you to hold a Chinese-Western party? Don't embarrass us Asians."

Du Sheng couldn't help laughing:
"I can't say I can fight ten alone, but I can still fight with the palm of my hand."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Leonardo and Jack Nicholson arrived at the set one after another.

This is an ensemble play involving three main actors.

Compared with Du Sheng, who had already adjusted his condition in the morning, and Jack, who was experienced and shrewd, Leonardo was the one with the most NGs.

An actor's popularity and status are not always directly related to their acting skills.

During a break in filming, Jack approached Scorsese and pointed in the direction of Du Sheng and said:

"This kid is very talented. Although he is a little worse than I was back then, he is still very good."

Scorsese pulled no punches in his response:
"At this time, you were still working as a thug for Heibai."

In the rest area on the other side, Du Sheng walked towards Leonardo:

"Leo, we've been in New York for a few days. Where are the Victoria's Secret Angels you mentioned?"

Leonardo said:

"It's almost time. It's set for the weekend. The angels are on their way."

Du Sheng asked:

“Villa or beach party?”

There are generally no filming arrangements on weekends in Hollywood.

Because several major trade unions have strict regulations on working hours and rest.

If staff are asked to work on weekends, there will usually be corresponding overtime pay or compensatory time off arrangements, and even health and safety issues will have to be taken care of.

So the party for this weekend has been scheduled long ago.

Leonardo replied:

"Let's go to the villa. We can avoid those boring paparazzi and entertainment reporters."

At this time, Jack Nicholson came over:

"Did you forget something?"

Leonardo asked Du Sheng:
"what is your opinion?"

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"As long as the beauties don't mind, I have no problem with that."

Jack chuckled:
"I'm definitely going to see what new tricks you guys can come up with."

Leonardo said confidently:

"Don't worry, I'll make your jaw drop."

.........

During the two consecutive days of shooting, Du Sheng and Leonardo DiCaprio performed exceptionally well, and even Scorsese couldn't help but praise them again and again.

Even Jack, who usually loves to act funny on the set, was unusually quiet this time, as if he was gathering energy for some big move.

Early Saturday morning, Du Sheng arrived outside the party villa in a Bentley sedan.

He immediately saw Leonardo, who was greeting him at the door wearing sunglasses and beach shorts.

That fat and out-of-shape body is a bit funny.

Especially the thick hair on his chest makes it difficult to look directly at him.

It is rumored that Leonardo deliberately made his figure like this, but the outside world has been speculating about the reasons behind it.

After seeing Du Sheng, Leonardo stepped forward with a smile:

"You're finally here! Remember to take off your coat when you go in. Everyone is wearing very little, and you'll look out of place if you walk in like this."

Du Sheng smiled and nodded, then followed the other party into the villa.

Ma Yaowei and Zhang Haolong followed closely behind.

When passing by two burly black bodyguards at the door of the villa, Du Sheng noticed that they were both wearing headsets and were warily watching the paparazzi who were trying to take pictures.

Seeing so many reporters, Du Sheng couldn't help but ask:
“Why are there so many paparazzi?”

“Haha, this is normal, besides us and the Victoria’s Secret models, several executives from film companies will also attend the party tonight.

How could the paparazzi miss this kind of opportunity? "

Leonardo was apparently used to this.

He suddenly remembered something and mentioned it casually:
"By the way, the representatives of those film companies really want to meet you."

"understood!"

After saying that, Du Sheng followed the other party through a glass corridor decorated with floor lamps.

What comes into view is a huge swimming pool illuminated by colorful spotlights, surrounded by laughter and joy.

"Just take off your jacket and T-shirt here. There's no need to go to the locker room to change clothes. That's too troublesome." Leonardo said as he stopped at a corner near the swimming pool.

The heating system here maintains a constant temperature around the clock, so there is no need to worry about the temperature.

Du Sheng naturally would not be an exception. After taking it off, he tidied up his messy hair.

As his body lines became more and more perfect, every muscle appeared particularly distinct.

Looking at Du Sheng's streamlined muscles, which seem to glow under the light, especially his eight-pack abs, one can't help but want to reach out and touch them.

"As expected of the world boxing champion! Such a figure is really enviable!"

A hint of envy flashed in Leonardo's eyes.

Du Sheng smiled slightly. This was a benefit of cultivation and it was not something that others could easily imitate.

"You are so lucky tonight. I believe those angels will go crazy when they see you!"

As Leonardo spoke, he gently nudged Du Sheng with his arm and led him into the party.

Ma Yaowei and Zhang Haolong chose to stand in a corner to ensure that they could always see Du Sheng.

They don't participate in such occasions, but they can still have sex with those little models or waitresses outside.

Under the dreamy lighting, the swimming pool's surface ripples with colorful brilliance.

The area was filled with people in swimming trunks and bikinis.

The white skin radiates a mysterious glow under the light.

Soothing and lazy jazz music fills the air, creating a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere.

Although the party hasn't officially started yet, the atmosphere is already heating up.

As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the people around them.

A hot bikini waitress with a bow around her neck, wearing black high heels, walked over with a catwalk carrying a tray with two glasses of champagne on it.

She walked gracefully towards Du Sheng and Leonardo, ready to serve them.

Du Sheng finally met the first Victoria's Secret Angel mentioned by Leonardo.

Unexpectedly, it was the famous black supermodel Tyra Banks!
This discovery surprised Du Sheng greatly.

Based on his previous understanding of Leonardo, the Hollywood star seemed to prefer young white models with blonde or brown hair, usually no older than 25 years old.

However, this meeting made him realize that in some aspects he was not even as "dedicated" as Leonardo.

Du Sheng found that he was not averse to women of all hair colors, as long as they were not black women with too dark skin.

And his age restrictions are far less strict.

Thinking of this, Du Sheng couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

I didn't expect that I would lose to this recognized playboy in this aspect.

Tyra Banks smiled and introduced the female companions she brought with her:

“This is Raquel Zimmerman, this is Adriana Lima, this is Karolina Kurkova, this is Angela Lindvall, and this is Julia Stiegler…”

When the last one came up to them, Terra added:

"I think everyone knows this person, Alessandra Ambrosio, commonly known as AA..."

Although Du Sheng didn’t pay much attention to American entertainment in his previous life, he still has some memories of it, not to mention that he can put it to good use in “Flash of Inspiration LV3/Blue”.

For example, veterans like to watch the Victoria's Secret Show and Victoria's Secret Angels, so he just follows the crowd and gives some pointers.

Old-school supermodels like Cindy Crawford from ancient times are obviously not within his interest.

He prefers the new generation of Angels who emerged in the big shows after 2005.

Let’s not talk about Leonardo’s current girlfriend, the world’s top supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who is not here for now.

Among those Du Sheng could recognize at the scene were Heidi Klum, who was about to marry a black man with a scar on his face;
Adriana Lima, who once had an affair with an alien and is now dating a prince from a small European country;

And Miranda Kerr, who recently came to New York from Australia and will appear in the year-end fashion show.

It is said that she has been having a hot affair with a real estate developer recently.

As for other models such as Lily, Tyra, etc., Du Sheng did not appreciate their appearance very much.

Of course, Doutzen with her plump lips and Alexander, with her slightly longer face but still beautiful, are both undisputed beauties.

Among these angels, Du Sheng's favorite is Carolina, who has a queen-like aura.

Her nickname is "Big KK". She shined in the Victoria's Secret Show this year and became one of the iconic Victoria's Secret models along with Gisele Bundchen and others.

And then there's Miranda Kerr, with her baby face.

However, his love for Miranda was limited to her beauty and hot body.

This Australian girl is not an easy person to get along with.

Although Carolina looks delicate when she smiles, it does not prevent her from being the kind of woman that makes men's hearts beat.

With a height of 1 meters, perfect measurements of 8-86-61, and hot curves, she possesses almost all the qualities required of a stunner.

Not only is she sexy and generous, she is also someone who gave up her career for love.

What impressed Du Sheng most was her blue-gray eyes, as crystal clear as diamonds.

In comparison, Rosie still looked very immature, with slightly stiff facial features, and was not his type.

And Bar Refaeli seems to be from Israel. If she is a member of the Fish Cult, then it would be hard to get close to her...

Leonardo then introduced Du Sheng and Jack Nicholson to the ladies.

Although they had never met before, they were familiar with each other through media reports and photos.

Sitting around the dining table, Du Sheng couldn't help but look at Leonardo a few more times.

The fact that he was able to invite so many top models to the party shows how great his influence is.

At a glance, at least a dozen A-list models showed up in response to his call.

Just this point alone is probably something that many of Hollywood's top stars would find difficult to achieve.

Looking at the beauties who kept winking and blowing kisses to him, Du Sheng responded with a smile.

There is a long table next to the swimming pool, which is filled with a variety of pastries, fruits and drinks, a typical European and American buffet style.

"The party you found was really well organized by the team. It was full of fashion sense."

Du Sheng said to Leonardo beside him.

"Haha, as long as you are happy."

Leonardo smiled indifferently:
"Many people are interested in your skills. I will open their eyes and show them the legendary mysterious oriental kung fu!"

The venue decoration, food and drinks for this party alone cost more than 100,000 US dollars.

Looking at the beauties gathered in groups, showing off their curves while walking in bikinis, Du Sheng sighed in his heart:
"It's just a feast for the eyes, it's so fun!"

A pair of bikini beauties walked past Du Sheng, twisting their waists. One of them looked at him with seductive eyes and gently stroked his arm with her fingers.

Du Sheng's gaze followed their laughing figures. The thin bikinis not only failed to conceal their charm, but instead aroused the interest of the opposite sex, causing ripples in people's hearts.

On one side of the dining table, several men, wearing only swimming trunks and holding red wine or champagne in their hands, stood together and discussed something enthusiastically, occasionally stealing glances at the big-breasted beauties beside them or passing by.

Just as Du Sheng was admiring a half-bra D-level beauty, a group of people came over.

Leonardo gave a brief introduction to both parties.

These people are the management of several film companies.

There was also a hot bikini beauty standing in the back with a smile, quietly waiting for the introduction to be over.

Du Sheng was very clear about the purpose of these people. They just wanted to talk about "Wanted" and the American TV series project produced by Miracle Pictures.

In such occasions, work and entertainment are often intertwined.

And tonight's party is a great opportunity to relax and expand your network.

Du Sheng didn't resist and chatted about the topic.

Anyway, he is the boss here, and the Hester sisters and Li Yixin will negotiate the best solution to maximize their interests.
