Extracting skills from movies

At this time, a tall and strong black man walked out from the backstage.

He was wearing a black vest, his muscles were clearly defined, and his physical fitness was no less than that of a heavyweight boxing champion.

Du Sheng is already over 1 meters tall, and this black man is much stronger than him, and his body shape alone gives people a sense of oppression.

The host greets:

"Hey, Wilson, what do you think of Chinese Kung Fu?"

Wilson shook his head.
“I admit it looks great in movies, but it doesn’t necessarily work in actual combat.

In fact, I have fought against so-called Eastern warriors before, and they were basically knocked out after only three punches from me!"

After saying this, he raised his fist:

"As for the value of the world boxing champion, because there are too many fake matches in North America, I will not recognize it unless I experience it myself."

The host asked with a relaxed smile:
"Du, are you willing to have a fight with Wilson?"

Du Sheng made an invitation gesture to Wilson with a confident smile on his face:

"It seems that whether it is to defend the honor of the world boxing champion or to show the charm of oriental martial arts, I have to fight this duel."

Grani, who was in front of the screen, was instantly interested.

He could see that Wilson was no ordinary person, and this competition would definitely test his true kung fu level!
The game started and the two stood a few meters apart.

Wilson assumed a standard boxing stance, ready for battle.

Du Sheng bent his knees slightly and raised his hands, looking comfortable and relaxed.

Wilson shouted and threw a swift and powerful right hook.

But before the fist could get close to Du Sheng, it was gently pulled away from its direction.

Wilson was a little confused and tried another left hook, which was also easily resolved by Du Sheng.

Du Sheng's movements were smooth and natural, as if he was playing with a child.

The host was also surprised.

She knew this was no act.

In her eyes, every movement Wilson made seemed clumsy and slow-motion.

Seeing that his opponent had not yet stood firm, Du Sheng had time to explain:

"When a person exerts force, the body forms a balance. I just applied force to his weak spot, which made him lose balance with just a slight push."

The audience was all surprised, including Grani in front of the TV.

In their opinion, every punch Wilson threw was full of explosive power and there was no sign of fakery.

Next, Wilson tried to turn the tide with a series of punches.

But Du Sheng not only resolved it easily, he also stepped forward and leaned forward. Wilson instantly retreated several steps in embarrassment and almost fell into a desperate situation.

"In the Eastern Kung Fu system, his lower body was unstable just now, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of..."

The audience was impressed by Du Sheng's confident performance and burst into warm applause and cheers.

Wilson's face turned a little ugly, and he rushed towards Du Sheng angrily.

Du Sheng remained calm and composed. When Wilson was about to attack with all his strength, he cleverly dodged to the side and pushed and tripped him with his hands and feet.

Bang!

As a result, Wilson's nearly 200-pound body flew off the ground in an instant and fell heavily on the floor in front of the audience.

The camera switched back to the host, and she looked shocked.

Because this is not a script, there is no wire support on the scene!
The audience at the scene naturally understood everything clearly, and there was a constant stream of applause and cheers:

"It's incredible!"

"Wow! Great oriental Kung Fu!"

"This is the real world boxing champion!"

Some Chinese people even shouted in Chinese:
"Brilliant!"

Throughout the whole process, Du Sheng remained downplaying the matter.

Moreover, the outburst he displayed was not as violent as before. Just a slight push and a slight flick was enough to throw the opponent into disarray.

All this is due to his extraordinary physical fitness.

Of course, although Wilson looked a bit embarrassed in the fall, he was actually just hit by a clever move and was not seriously hurt.

Grani, who was watching TV, was shocked by Du Sheng's performance.

But soon doubts arose: Could it be that Wilson was deliberately cooperating in the performance?

After all, most of the guests on TV shows are actors, but isn’t Wilson’s acting a little too realistic?!
At this time, Wu Jing, who came with the promotion, stood up and said to the host:
“Actually, Brother Sheng wasn’t serious at all just now.

Otherwise, he can kick your friend three meters away with one kick! "

"I admit that Du is really capable, but is the three-meter-high kick a joke?"

The host had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Brother Sheng, show them your true strength!"

Wu Jing chuckled.

He has been a partner with Du Sheng for so long and he knows very well how terrifying this big guy is.

Since these Western bumpkins have always looked at the yellow race through tinted glasses, why not give them a little spiritual shock?

"WTF!?"

Grani in front of the TV opened his mouth wide. Du Sheng hasn’t shown his real skills yet?
Next, Wilson held a huge hand target pad in front of his chest, his whole body tense, ready for battle.

Du Sheng bent his knees and took a big step forward. The power from his feet was transferred to his waist through his legs and hips, and finally gathered into a powerful kinetic energy, accurately hitting the target pad in Wilson's hand.

Du Sheng's movements were as fast as lightning. Many people didn't see what happened clearly. They only saw that the big guy Wilson had been kicked into the air.
It crossed at least five meters in the air, and after landing, it slid on the ground for several meters before stopping!

"Oh My God!"

Grani in front of the TV widened his eyes!
He was sure that even if Wilson wanted to act, he could not achieve such an effect.

It turns out that Eastern Kung Fu is really so powerful!

Boxing King Du is indeed worthy of his reputation!
In fact, Du Sheng exaggerated on purpose just now.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he could kick Wilson further away with just a casual kick.

But the effect was really good, causing even more intense exclamations and applause than before:
"Oh my god! This is simply Li Xiaolong reborn!"

"Even better than Li Xiaolong!"

"Du! Du! Du!"

The applause at the scene continued and lasted for a long time.

CBS TV station covers 48% of the Beacon Country, so many viewers who have never heard of Du Sheng were also shocked.

The host Alice was stunned and kept repeating "unbelievable"!
Because no one at the scene knew better than her that this was not possible.

Then, Alice suddenly knelt on one knee and looked at Du Sheng expectantly:

"Du, are you still hiring me? I'll do anything for you!"

Du Sheng responded with a smile:
"Alice, you're not confessing your feelings, are you?"

The audience burst into laughter.

Next, the program team had an in-depth discussion on Du Sheng and Oriental Kung Fu.

Du Sheng also shared his insights into music and mentioned the song "Flash Point" which is currently being promoted.

When everyone learned that this play included his practical theories and force-generating techniques, they burst into exclamations again.

Du Sheng is really multi-talented!

Not only is he a good actor in movies and has great kung fu skills, he can also compose such great songs.

He is truly a man blessed by God!
He is indeed a mysterious and powerful man from the East!
Speaking of which, this TV show did have a script.

But there is one important difference: Wilson's anger was not acted at all, and he even went all out.

The program team did not expect that the effect of the accidental combination would be so significant! A large number of fans were shocked by Du Sheng's powerful performance.

Even North American audiences who have not seen the movie are attracted by this handsome and mysterious young man from the East.

The program team, the crew and Du Sheng himself were all very satisfied with this.

Because this further ignited the kung fu craze started by "Flash Point".

In the eyes of the media and the public in the Beacon Country, Du Sheng is not only a triple-boxing star, but has also become synonymous with Chinese Kung Fu masters.

Some people even recalled his amazing “1 VS 30” video.

Once this curiosity is aroused, the desire to buy tickets will increase.

However, "Flash Point" was not screened in advance.

According to the usual situation of Lighthouse, the best time to show the movie is from midnight on Friday.

Therefore, Du Sheng will not receive the first day box office data until Saturday at the earliest.

Of course, some predictive data is still available.

For example, MGM provided some preliminary film viewing survey data, the results of which showed that more than 60% of the audience gave a high score of A or above.

However, Du Sheng also understands that these ratings may be influenced by certain fan sentiments.

After all, most of the people who came to watch the premiere were his loyal fans, or old fans of "SPL".

Furthermore, the sample size was small.

For truly convincing film ratings, we still have to look at the data from the authoritative organization CinemaScore.

Even so, judging from the current feedback, it can at least be confirmed that the movie is not having any problems with local culture.

Chinese films are not something that can only be bought out and given away as gifts as Gongzhi said.

On Friday morning, media and film critics who watched the movie last night have already released their reviews.

SceneZine wrote:
“Du Sheng’s sequel to SPL: Part Two: Flash Point is a crime film full of intense gunfights and exciting action scenes.

From the visual point of view, it is a visual feast.

If the story is set in the Lighthouse Country, it might be more appropriate!"

The West Coast Times commented:
“Although the plot is somewhat clichéd, Flashpoint is still impressive.

The most profound thing is that the firepower of the Chinese police is actually not as good as that of the gangsters. Does this really happen in reality?

In comparison, the police of the Lighthouse Country appear to be more powerful.

Of course, those thrilling action scenes with long shots are still eye-catching.

Du Sheng’s kung fu is especially amazing, and his acting skills are as good as his musical talent!”

The Nashville Express commented:

“Flash Point is a rare police and gangster action film in recent times!
The compact plot and bold and novel action design amaze the audience again and again.

The duel between the two at the end is particularly exciting. Audiences who like action and crime themes should not miss it! "

The San Francisco Chronicle wrote:
“Among the popular movies released this weekend, although Flashpoint’s schedule is not as high as Hollywood’s Paths of Glory and High School Musical, it has received a warm response and the attendance rate is still good!
Du Sheng has once again proven his appeal with his real skills and fans.”

"..."

Although these articles are somewhat sour, they also indirectly prove that "Flash Point" has indeed entered the vision of the North American entertainment industry and even attracted a lot of media attention.

In the morning, Du Sheng looked through the various media reports brought by his assistant Cui Yayi.

In general, there are more praises than criticisms.

But most of the coverage was brief, lacking the fanfare and analysis that would come with a Hollywood blockbuster.

However, Du Sheng was already satisfied.

If a Chinese-language film does not have some appeal and sufficient publicity resources, these newspapers may not report it at all.

There is a lot of praise for him in the article.

I think his physique, fighting skills and acting skills are all excellent, even better than the previous "SPL".

Du Sheng just smiled at the praises and is now more concerned about the box office results.

After all, these praises only make sense if the film is successful at the box office.

Otherwise it's all in vain.

And Friday's box office data is crucial.

Because it can calculate the box office performance for the entire weekend and then evaluate the overall box office level of the film.

In addition, theater chains will also refer to the performance of the first weekend to adjust the number of screens and screening schedules, which directly determines the fate of the film.

If Columbia Pictures + MGM both feel that there is no future, there is no exception even if you are a shareholder.

Wu Jing couldn't sit still anymore and paced back and forth in the hall.

Du Sheng smiled and joked:
"You've been to so many promotional events recently, do you still think your legs aren't working hard enough?"

As one of the leading actors in the film, Wu Jing is still a little worried even though he has been taken care of by Du Sheng more in the past two years.

After all, this is the first movie he has participated in that will be released during the North American Christmas season.

This is something that countless Asian artists dream of but cannot achieve!

Wu Jing sighed and said:

"Brother Sheng, Flash Point is a Chinese-language film after all. I'm worried that foreign audiences won't buy it!"

There is one thing he hasn't said yet, which is that the previous part of "SPL" was sold directly to Sony, and the other party will do its best to make a profit.

But Interstellar Media does have a share of the profits.

Furthermore, Sony's current focus is on "Last Holiday," a $3 million comedy, so discriminatory treatment is inevitable.

In addition, the competition in Hollywood is very fierce. If he fails this time, it will have a significant impact on his future aspirations.

Du Sheng smiled and said:
"You don't have confidence in yourself?

You have also seen the report that the box office in Neon has exceeded 20 billion Neon coins, so there is absolutely no problem with the quality.

And since I’m bringing this movie to North America, I’m not going to joke around.”

Du Sheng's words revealed calmness and confidence.

In fact, that's what he had in mind.

Think about how much promotion he did for Flashpoint?
For this film, he not only appeared on the cover of Time magazine, but also had the UFC middleweight world champion and the craze caused by the fight with Tyson to take advantage of, not to mention the long-tail effect brought by the English album...

After putting in so much effort and promotional methods, if "Flash Point" is still not as good as "SPL", then he really has nothing to say!

Seeing that Du Sheng, the investor and leading actor, was so calm and composed, Wu Jing felt much more at ease.

After all, it is he who is currently qualified to break into Hollywood.

As for himself, he couldn't even catch up with the exhaust.

Instead of worrying about the response in North America, it is better to consolidate the impression among Chinese people.

Thanks to several films he collaborated with Du Sheng, he has become somewhat popular in Asia.

"Brother Sheng, you have such great determination, you deserve to achieve great things!"

Wu Jing slumped down on the sofa with his thumbs up.

Before I could even sit down, I heard a clacking noise coming from the corridor.

The old American cinema chains have experienced hundreds of years of development, and the box office settlement system has long been mature.

In the blink of an eye, MGM's new general manager Theresa walked in wearing ten-centimeter high heels, with the report in her hand rustling in the wind.

"Gentlemen, guess how much the box office was on the first day!"

The newly appointed general manager's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear, but he still wanted to keep people in suspense.

A figure suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and Wu Jing almost spilled the hot coffee in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the report in the other person's hand.
