Extracting skills from movies

As soon as the topic came out, the popularity rose rapidly.

Another netizen shared enthusiastically:

"There is a blogger named Hu Ge on the TVING platform who made a video called 'A Murder Caused by a Bun', which specifically pokes fun at The Promise. It's super funny, everyone go check it out!"

The TVING platform is aimed at Asia and has not been affected by the Great Firewall for some reasons, so Chinese people can naturally log in.

"Haha, I've seen it.

The setting is so funny, much better than "The Promise".

If this short film could be shown in theaters, I would definitely be the first to buy a ticket to support it! ”

Du Sheng also noticed the relevant comments. When he logged into the TVING platform, he saw that the video with the fastest rising popularity was "A murder caused by a steamed bun."

The blogger is Hu Ge, and it was posted yesterday.

The number of views has now exceeded 400 million and is still rising.

Du Sheng clicked in and took a few glances. The content was almost the same as in his previous life.

This kind of funny complaint video will still be funny no matter how many times you watch it.

Once this spoof video went viral, the word that "The Promise" was a bad movie spread even more widely.

Many people have heard that "The Promise" is not good, but they are not sure how bad it is.

After watching "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun", everyone realized how many bugs there are in this movie.

It's a hodgepodge.

After watching the spoof video, many people joked that it was thanks to Du Sheng's "Flash Point" that they changed the order of watching movies, otherwise they would have lost money and suffered.

Chen Qige originally thought that his interview could cause some stir and save some face, but after seeing this short video, his face turned green with anger.

It’s just that Samsung is behind the TVING platform, and they don’t want to offend foreigners at all.

For the time being, I can only swallow this bitterness.

…………

That night, Du Sheng ended his promotional tour to Korea.

When I was preparing to transfer to North America, I received a call from Wang Jinhua.

She brought a series of exciting good news.

“Since its release, Flashpoint has grossed 8128 million yuan at the domestic box office.

With major cinema chains increasing their screening schedules, it is estimated that the box office will exceed 9 million the day after tomorrow.

The box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan is close to 3100 million, and the two places can contribute at least 1200 million in the future. "

Wang Jinhua continued:
“If we include Macau, the combined box office of the three cities is expected to exceed 100 million, breaking the record.

The film premiered in Korea yesterday, and judging by the trend, the total box office should not be less than 50 billion won.

In addition, copyright sales are also an important source of income.

Thanks to the influence of the previous film and the fact that Flashpoint lived up to expectations, there is a strong demand for the film in Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.

By selling the broadcast rights, we can earn at least tens of millions.”

Judging from the current trend, it is almost certain that the box office of "Flash Point" in mainland China will reach the 100 million yuan mark.

If it is not affected too much by Hollywood blockbusters "King Kong" and Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia" in the future, it can even hope to break into the top three in the country's annual total box office.

In addition, "Flash Point" is expected to bring in no less than 1.5 million in profits.

There will also be long-term benefits such as disc and video copyrights, as well as the infinite value of enhancing the company's brand and image.

More importantly, Du Sheng’s personal influence has greatly increased.

With the success of several consecutive films and albums, it is not an understatement to call him an Asian superstar.

"The box office in Asia is good, and I think the North American release will also boost the sales!"

Ye Jingzhi concluded.

Du Sheng smiled slightly and said:
"Cultural values ​​and perceptions are different, so it is necessary to run publicity to increase exposure."

One of his dreams is to bring down Hollywood, but it won't happen overnight.

Not to mention that this trip can also skyrocket your reputation, so why not do it?

.........

CBS Television Headquarters, Los Angeles.

Nina Tassler entered the building in high spirits.

She held her head high, walked with a firm step, and exuded confidence.

"President, good morning!"

"Ms. Nina, you look so beautiful today!"

Nina responded with a smile to every colleague who greeted her.

Her smile revealed a good mood that was difficult to conceal.

Recalling the situation when "Voice of the East" was first introduced, not only were there doubts from the outside world, but there were also many voices of opposition within CBS.

The investment was nearly 100 million RMB and the risk was huge. Some people even suggested firing her to avoid the responsibilities brought by the contract.

But it was the support of Chairman Leslie that enabled her to push forward the project and ultimately achieve brilliant success.

As "Voice of the East" became a huge success in the Beacon Country, all doubts disappeared.

Those who once looked down on her had to re-examine her abilities and vision.

Nina's status in CBS and even the entire News Corporation has been greatly improved as a result.

From being misunderstood as the chairman’s lover to being respected as “President” by everyone, the transformation is remarkable.

Now, Nina is full of confidence in her future.

Led by her secretary, she walked into a meeting room.

Seeing that Du Sheng was already waiting, she walked forward quickly.

"Ms. Nina, I'm so glad to see you. You look even more charming than last time!"

Du Sheng stood up, opened his arms, and gave Nina a friendly hug.

Nina has always had a good impression of the founder of "Voice of the East".

Although this work cost CBS a huge price, Nina didn't have to pay for it.

On the contrary, her success not only consolidated her position but also established ties with the Asian market.

"Mr. Du, why didn't you contact me earlier when you arrived in the Lighthouse Country?"

After Nina released the hug, she said enthusiastically:
"If other people in the circle knew about this, they would think I treated my guests badly."

After a few polite words, Du Sheng got to the point:

"Ms. Nina, I do need your help with something small this time."

"Please tell me, Mr. Du. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."

Nina replied with a smile.

Du Sheng has been in North America for several days, running around with his team.

"Recently I have been promoting in the Lighthouse Country..."

Speaking of which, Sony still attaches great importance to the film "Flash Point".
Although resources were a bit tight due to the Christmas period, they still arranged a premiere, magazine interviews, and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and other supporting programs.

However, if it wants to make some waves at the North American box office, it still needs to increase resources.

Although Hearst is a giant in the publishing industry, its main businesses are daily newspapers, weeklies, magazines and other publications.

There is indeed a layout of television stations, such as cable TV networks such as A+E Networks and ESPN, but they only cover 18% of the beacon country.

CBS is different. It is one of the four major television stations in the Lighthouse Country and has a wide coverage. Nina Tassler has heard about Du Sheng's recent situation.

She knew that Du Sheng had been making quite a stir in the Lighthouse Country recently.

He has made considerable achievements in the three fields of boxing, film and television, and music, attracting the attention of a large number of audiences in the Beacon Country.

Especially the fight with Tyson and the collaboration with Leonardo in "The Departed", there has never been a shortage of exposure.

With Du Sheng's current fame, it is more than enough for him to be on top shows.

Nina didn't think much and said straightforwardly:
"It's a small matter. We originally wanted to invite you, but you've been busy lately!"

You know, Du Sheng is not just a singer or actor, but also a giant in the entertainment industry.

Although his strength in North America cannot be compared with that of Chairman Leslie, he is also an important figure.

Why not establish a good relationship with such a promising young person?
Nina smiled and said:

"Mr. Du, to be honest, it's really rare that someone of your status is willing to do the promotion in person!"

She was actually a little puzzled as to why a wealthy man like Du Sheng had to sing, act, compete in martial arts competitions, and fly around all the time.

Not to mention that in Eastern culture, these professions are not considered high-end.

Du Sheng smiled slightly and said:
“Making money is indeed joyful, but at a certain point it’s just a string of numbers.

I really enjoy the process of creating and sharing art, which is an incomparable pleasure.”

He couldn't say that the reputation points and lucky draws he gained could make him happier, right?

Nina thought that Du Sheng was only 23 years old. It was normal for him to pursue fame and fortune and enjoy the fanatical admiration of fans at this age.

At the same time, she had to admit that others really had the capital to squander it at will.

As long as Du Sheng's subsidiaries continue to grow, he will be respected wherever he goes.

Soon, under Nina's careful arrangement, a program specifically for teenagers was officially launched.

In the show, Du Sheng became the absolute protagonist.

Not only did they discuss his film, television and music works, but they also shared the mysterious veil of his oriental Kung Fu role.

These contents are very attractive to young audiences.

In addition, Du Sheng not only demonstrated the skills of Bajiquan, but also sang several English songs, which aroused cheers and applause from the audience.

Time passed unknowingly and it was the day of the North American premiere of "Flash Point".

Here, the Christmas + New Year period is the period with the highest box office revenue throughout the year.

In order to recoup their investment, Columbia Pictures, and to protect their major shareholder, MGM allocated 600 screens during the busy schedule.

This treatment is much better than the first "SPL" film.

Grani, holding the movie ticket in his hand, walked into the screening room which was almost 70% full of audience members.

Yesterday, after watching the premiere of "Flash Point", his Chinese classmates kept praising the movie all day long.

Now, Grani had only finished reading half of it and completely understood and agreed with the other party's evaluation. He even couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow"!
Every punch hits the flesh, every move is fierce and murderous, and the feeling of fighting overflows the screen.

Grani is convinced that this boxing champion Du is absolutely a genuine practical fighter!

The audience around obviously felt the same way and watched with rapt attention.

When Grani left the cinema, he was as excited as his Chinese classmates.

This Flashpoint is so cool!

He wanted to call his classmates immediately to share the story, but unfortunately time did not permit.

So he couldn't wait to go home, turn on his computer, and exchange ideas with others online.

At this time, thanks to the publicity and Du Sheng's own influence, the popularity of "Flash Point" in North America is rising.

There are already a lot of threads on the forum discussing this movie:

“This is an unparalleled movie-watching experience with amazing action design!”

“The combat-style action scenes emphasize the realism of each punch, making the audience feel as if they are on the battlefield, feeling the tension and excitement!”

"I don't care if the lead actor is white or yellow, I love the action in this movie!
This smooth and natural fighting style is much more stylish than those barbaric Hollywood movies!"

"Chinese Kung Fu is just like King Du, mysterious and powerful! Cool!"

A few years ago, Jackie Chan sparked a Chinese Kung Fu craze in the country with the movie "Rush Hour".

But Cheng Long's kung fu has a unique comedic style.

This time, "Flash Point" perfectly combines Chinese Kung Fu and mixed martial arts.
Whether it was swift punches, fierce kicks, or clever joint techniques and wrestling skills, Du Sheng performed them to the fullest, giving the audience a feast for the eyes.

The plot of the film is also very compact, from the opening gang arrest operation, to the battle of wits and courage between Ma Jun and the criminal gang in the middle, to the final ultimate showdown...

The interlocking plot, with constant new clues and conflicts, keeps the audience's attention high.

Below these comments, there are a few responses that stand out:

"There is no doubt that Eastern Kung Fu is very powerful and has broken my prejudices and perceptions."

"Brother, you have to know that Du Sheng is the real-life world boxing champion."

"Du is not only handsome, but also very elegant. He perfectly fits my fantasy of a mysterious master from the East!"

“You may not know this, but Du, who plays the male lead, is not only an outstanding actor and the youngest triple-A winner, but also the most popular singer in Asia!
Last year, four songs from his English album made it into the top 10 on the Billboard charts! "

"Really? You're kidding me, man?"

"Go listen to Du Sheng's "Let Me Love You" and "You're Beautiful" for yourself. I guarantee you won't want to take off your headphones after listening to them!"

"Wow, I've never paid attention to Chinese artists before. I have to go and listen to them!"

Grani is not only a loyal fan of "Flash Point", but also an avid fighting enthusiast.

While posting on the forum to discuss movies, he also memorized all of Du Sheng's works in his mind.

Although he thought the action scenes in the movie that combined Chinese Kung Fu were very cool and handsome, he still had some doubts about their actual combat capabilities.

After all, there is more and more fraud in this society.

Recently, Grani saw a trailer on CBS TV that the crew of "Flash Point" will be visiting and will specially invite King Du to show his amazing kung fu.

This rekindled Grani's interest.

I want to see with my own eyes whether King Du has been exaggerated in movies and in the ring.

That evening, Grani sat in front of the TV.

The program flow was similar to usual, introducing many interesting things that happened during the filming and the creation highlights of "Flash Point".

Grani watched the film with great interest and was curious about everything about it.

At this time, the host raised a question:
“The action scenes in the movie are very different from traditional Hollywood action movies, thanks to the fact that you used a lot of Chinese Kung Fu.

But when watching the movie, I had a question: Why can you throw your opponent five or six meters away with an over-the-shoulder throw?

Even Tyson couldn't do it, Du, is this an exaggeration? "

The camera turned to Du Sheng, who was wearing a Tang suit and looked very impressive. He explained with a smile:
"This is a very famous technique in China. It can achieve great results with just a little effort."

"A little effort can achieve a great result?"

The host was a little confused.

Du Sheng continued to explain:

"You can think of it as an application of the principle of leverage, a technique of using the enemy's force to defeat the enemy."

After listening to this explanation, everyone seemed to understand more.

At this time, the host showed a sly smile:
"It just so happens that my friend Wilson is here today,
He was once a professional boxer in England, won a gold belt, and opened a boxing club after retiring.

He has always wanted to experience the style of the world boxing champion. Can you let him experience it? "
