Extracting skills from movies

Chapter 613 Is this gift generous enough?

While we were chatting, the set had been rearranged.

When the three saw the director stand up, they followed him back to their original place.

Next to the set, Ma Yaowei, a part-time on-site producer, carefully checked all the props.

After confirming that it was correct, he gestured towards Du Sheng.

Damon joined the crew this time. Although a Hollywood star like him would not easily gamble his acting career,

But Ma Yaowei still didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear that some small detail would go wrong.

Du Sheng walked into the studio and was going to shoot a scene with Damon where Colin and Digna were playing against each other.

The two first familiarized themselves with their positions and then rehearsed a few lines.

But who knew, one of the cameras suddenly had a minor problem and it would take a while to fix it.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Du Sheng spoke up to break the silence:
"Come to think of it, the role you played is quite special."

Damon didn't know what the other party was referring to, so he said cautiously:
"My old movies?"

Du Sheng smiled and said:
“Yes, especially the Bourne series, which made secret agents popular.

But as actors, we can’t be like those agents in the movies who are “stumbling blocks” and live in fear every day.”

The theme of this movie revolves around the "Stumbling Stone" plan to eliminate dissidents.

Damon understood, was silent for a while, and then said:
"Reality is indeed not a movie. It is impossible for a life-and-death struggle to occur."

Du Sheng nodded and said in agreement:
“Yes, it’s a collaboration after all.

Even if there was a little friction during the period, I would not be stupid enough to use a knife to cut someone."

Damon was silent for a moment and then said:

"That's true. Maybe we'll go our separate ways after the filming."

Du Sheng stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"After we finish working together on this play, it may be difficult for us to get together."

Although Damon put away his hostility, he still said bluntly:
"But I still have to say that I don't have a very good impression of you."

Du Sheng listened and smiled:
"I'm not a US dollar, I can't please everyone."

Having said that, let’s put this matter aside for now.

After all, in the crew, the importance of the roles has already been determined.

Besides, the scenes have already been filmed to this point, and no one’s intervention can change the overall situation.

Damon still looks simple and honest, and has always maintained his image as an honest man.

After a while, the filming resumed.

Du Sheng and Damon each entered the camera and got into the mood.

In the play, Colin threatened Digna for the undercover list, but Digna refused to give it to him and the two almost had a fight.

Damon put in all his effort, as if he wanted to beat Du Sheng in this rivalry.

Fortunately, Du Sheng was in very good condition, and his performance was natural and smooth, not inferior to the other party at all.

But as they were filming, Scorsese called for a stop.

He came in front of the camera and said to Damon:
"You should hold back a little, it feels too deliberate."

Matt Damon nodded, squatted down with his head in his hands without saying a word, and adjusted his state in a unique way.

All departments of the crew quickly returned to their positions and filming resumed.

But within five seconds of filming, Scorsese called for a stop and shouted:

"Damon, calm down!
Don’t understand? Control the rhythm! ”

During the following filming, Damon's condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and it was not smooth at all.

However, Scorsese did not lose his temper. After all, Damon had just joined the crew and was still in the adaptation stage.

Leonardo, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help but complain:

"Did Damon take the wrong medicine? He seems to be determined to crush Du Sheng in the rivalry."

Jack said:
"His mentality is broken. He is acting so deliberately and overdoing it. His acting is even more exaggerated than yours."

If other people complained about his acting skills, Leonardo would have refuted them long ago.

But after hearing what Jack said, he really didn't know how to respond, so he could only continue:
"I guess it's still a question of competing for roles. Damon is too eager to prove himself."

Jack smiled and said:
"So what? Bringing in money is always the most popular thing. Who made fat Harvey withdraw his investment?"

As long as Du Sheng, Jack and Leonardo don't cause trouble, there won't be any major chaos in the crew.

As for Matt Damon, apart from always wanting to surpass Du Sheng in the rival scenes during filming, he didn't do anything special.

In fact, everyone knew that even if there was a fuss, it would not change anything, and it would only make Scorsese more dissatisfied with him.

Leonardo remembered something and lowered his voice:
"You've seen the female lead in the crew, right? I think she's most likely Du Sheng's girlfriend..."

He briefly told us what he knew.

There are only three female characters in this film, and the one played by Black has the most scenes, but she has not yet joined the crew.

Generally speaking, if there are fewer actresses in a crew, there will be fewer disputes.

But for those who love to stir up trouble, it is a bit boring.

Jack immediately became interested when he heard this:

"What a great opportunity! I'd feel guilty if I didn't play a trick on him!"

Du Sheng fought 1VS8 and was still full of energy the next day. Looking at himself, he was still very weak. He felt extremely jealous.

Leonardo also recalled the embarrassing incident at the last party, where Du Sheng and the angels gave him the title of "20-second man". He said:
"Well, Isabel and the others are coming to visit us, then we can..."

…………

Today, Newark Airport.

Blake Lively rushed over after auditioning for the role in Gossip Girl.

Because the cold wave affected the flight, she arrived much later than expected.

When she arrived near the terminal, she did not see Du Sheng, but only saw an acquaintance waving at her.

"Hey, Blake, this way!"

Ma Yaowei hurried forward and put her suitcase into the car.

Blake looked around and asked curiously:

"Where's Brother Sheng? Didn't he come?"

Ma Yaowei explained:

“He did give you his number, but your phone has no signal.

Since I have prepared a party for you in advance, I don't want to leave the guests waiting, so I have to go back and make arrangements first."

Blake was a little annoyed and sighed:
"There are fires in Los Angeles at this time of year, and the cold weather plus the hurricane caused flight delays."

Ma Yaowei opened the back door, waited for Blake to get in, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, Brother Sheng will give you a big compensation."

“That’s something I’m looking forward to.”

Blake was a little excited.

The traffic in New York was as bad as ever, and by the time the car finally arrived at the Hilton Hotel, it was completely dark.

Ma Yaowei parked the car and said to Blake:

"The banquet hall is on the third floor. You go up first."

Blake looked at his simple outfit and asked unconfidently:
"Is it okay for me to go to a party like this?"

Ma Yaowei nodded and said:
"pretty good."

Blake walked quickly toward the hotel and trotted down the corridor.

At this moment, in the banquet hall on the third floor, the red wooden door slowly opened.

When Blake saw the figure coming out, he rushed over with joy and threw himself into his arms.

Du Sheng kissed her gently on the forehead and said with a smile:

"Come in, everyone is waiting for you."

Blake took Du Sheng's hand and walked into the banquet hall.

The lights in the hall were dimmed and the music of "Happy Birthday" sounded at the right time.

In a romantic atmosphere, Zhang Haolong walked out pushing a huge cake.

Du Sheng gently pushed Blake and said with a smile:
"It's a little late, but I hope you like it."

Blake happily walked to the cake and blew out the candles on it.

At this moment, all the lights came on at once and applause broke out.

Only then did she realize that among those celebrating her coming of age ceremony were producer Brad Grey, director Scorsese, Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson, and Leonardo DiCaprio... Blake was so happy that so many senior executives from the crew came to attend her coming of age ceremony party.

This means that Du Sheng is really preparing for her with all his heart.

On the other side, Leonardo saw Du Sheng introducing Blake to him and pressed a button on his phone as if nothing had happened.

Jack had been paying attention to Leonardo's actions. Seeing this, he smiled and said to Scorsese:
"There will be something interesting to watch soon."

Scorsese knew that these guys always liked to play tricks on each other, but they never delayed the filming progress, so he didn't interfere:
"You and Leo came up with this, right?"

Jack glanced at Du Sheng and said:
"This boy is too outrageous. Isn't it good to be single? Now he's even playing with romantic relationships!

You can't just let it go when you betrayed me and Leo."

Scorsese: “…”

Looking at the lively scene in front of me, I felt that it was indeed very interesting for a while.

On one side of the hall, Eugenia, Natasha, Carolina and Miranda Kerr quietly appeared under the leadership of Isabel and walked towards the banquet hall.

Eugenia and Carolina held special plaques in their hands, with a few lines of words vaguely visible.

The group turned a corner, and Isabel asked softly:

"Are you all ready?"

Eugenia and Carolina nodded excitedly, and couldn't help laughing when they thought about what would happen next.

At this time, the door of the banquet hall opened, Leonardo came out and asked:
"is that OK?"

Isabel gestured and urged:

"Hurry up, don't let it become a dull occasion!"

Leonardo laughed and entered with a group of angels:
"Then let's get started."

"Sisters, let's do it!"

Isabel took the lead and led the people behind her into the banquet hall.

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Leonardo shouted at Du Sheng at the top of his voice:
"Hey, man, look who's here!"

Du Sheng heard the sound and looked over, and was surprised to see Isabel running towards him.

However, his manners are not to be underestimated. His face remained calm and he did not show any sign of abnormality.

But before he could react any further, Eugenia and Carolina came in holding a plaque.

"Oh my god, such a big deal!"

Du Sheng glanced at the conspicuous handwriting and his eyes twitched.

Eugenia and Carolina were very quick and quickly raised the plaque as soon as they came in.

There was only black writing on a white background, which read:

"Du Sheng's ex-girlfriends wish his current girlfriend a happy birthday!"

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Then Eugenia, Miranda, and Isabel came in and shouted in unison:

"Are you happy? Happy!"

Then, a burst of laughter broke out in the hall.

Jack laughed so hard that his cheeks ached.

If Scorsese didn't take his own status into consideration, he would probably spit out the red wine in his mouth.

The other guests also laughed.

As everyone knows, these bastards have started to play pranks on each other again.

Leonardo looked at Du Sheng with a smug look on his face, as if silently saying, let's see what you can do.

What was unexpected was that Du Sheng just glanced at them calmly and was not as flustered as expected.

Isabel was not afraid of trouble and continued to play mischief:

"Hey, honey, you promised to come to your ex-girlfriend's bridal party, why didn't you come?"

puff!
Scorsese finally couldn't help it and spat out a mouthful of wine.

This group of people really want to torture Du Sheng to death.

Du Sheng looked calm and said:

“If I had so many angelic ex-girlfriends, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams.

As for the bridal party, you can see that I can only give you a gift."

Blake looked at Du Sheng, then at the supermodels. Coming from a family of performing arts, she immediately understood a little bit.

She naturally took his arm, showed a warm and decent smile, and said:
"Thank you all for coming to my party. Your gift is so special."

Isabel was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Blake.

This girl looks to be only 17 or 18 years old, tall, long legs, young and beautiful like a model, and she still handles it so calmly...

Is this the qualification to become Du Sheng’s rumored girlfriend?

Du Sheng welcomed the group of angels in and said:

"Stop blocking the door and come in and have some cake."

Blake also smiled and said:
"Everyone, please come in."

Leonardo winked at Isabel, suggesting that she continue.

Isabel pretended not to see it, walked up to Du Sheng with her sisters, and asked with a smile:
"No wonder you look down on us. Where did you find such a perfect angel?"

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"Maybe I saved the earth in my previous life, so I have this blessing."

Everyone laughed and considered him a pass.

Blake smiled, took Du Sheng's arm, and warmly invited everyone into the banquet hall.

When Isabel and Carolina saw producer Brad Grey and director Scorsese, they came forward to greet them.

Blake went to touch up her makeup, and Leonardo came up to Du Sheng and teased:

"Is this a generous gift?"

Du Sheng said:

"It's really interesting. What's even more interesting is that Carolina and the others will probably reveal the '20 Second Man' to the public soon."

Leonardo: "..."

This is his eternal pain.

Du Sheng did not forget to remind him again:
"Isabelle just told me that the reason Giselle wanted to break up with you was because you were too soft."

Leonardo knew that Du Sheng would not make up stories, and cursed in his heart, but pretended to be calm and said:
"If it's really like what they say, how can I chase so many girls?"

"You used to be a gigolo, but now you can only gain fame and money."

Du Sheng recalled what happened just now and laughed sarcastically:
"I'm different. I can only rely on my skills and strength."

Leonardo wanted to refute, but when he thought about what happened at the last party, he was speechless.

Blake changed his clothes and came out to cut the cake. When he passed by Du Sheng with a plate, he pointed at Isabel, Carolina and Eugenia and said:
"I'll give it to them."

Du Sheng said:

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Blake shook his head and said with a bright smile:

"There are so many guests here, you can't neglect them."

Watching her leave, Leonardo asked:

"You are so calm?"

Du Sheng smiled and didn't take it seriously:
"Are you afraid that Giselle will talk about your affairs?"

Leonardo chuckled and said:
"You are indeed one of my kind, a scumbag."

Du Sheng said lightly:

"Don't compare me with you. I can't afford to lose face."

On the other side, Blake, Isabel and others were sitting at the lounge table, chatting happily.

Isabel couldn't help asking:
"Don't you want to know why we are playing a prank on Du Sheng tonight?"
