Extracting skills from movies

Chapter 633 Discrimination
Logically speaking, Scarlett is only 21 years old, which doesn't seem to match the character's gorgeous setting.

Charlize now just wants to figure out the reasons, sum up the experience and lessons, and improve herself.

This has always been her habit, not to complain unnecessarily.

Facing Charlize Theron's expectant question, Du Sheng did not use those empty, perfunctory words to prevaricate, but responded seriously:
“The key is the compatibility of the roles.

Of the three of you, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson fit the roles most closely.

However, Scarlett's unique temperament and performance can add many wonderful reactions to the film.

This point is unanimously recognized by producers, directors, etc. ”

Seeing that she was still a little confused, Du Sheng smiled and said:

“Charlize, you are indeed the most beautiful among the few, but your temperament is not completely compatible with the heroine.

Although you have often played similar roles in the past, you actually have a tough temperament in your bones.

I think if you try more roles like professional elites, you might get better results. "

After hearing what Du Sheng said, Charlize Theron felt regretful, but she couldn't find any reason to refute.

Although her acting skills can make up for her lack of temperament to a certain extent, her appearance does have certain limitations in her interpretation of certain roles.

Besides, her status is not at that level.

For example, a big-name actress like Julia Roberts can ask the crew to tailor a role setting specifically for her, but she has not reached that level yet.

As for asking Du Sheng to help her adjust the role setting, that was simply a fantasy.

Even if she was willing to pay any price, even to sacrifice herself, she might not be able to change everyone's minds.

What's more, she has always been extremely sensitive and disgusted with men who have bad intentions and have improper desires for her body.

When she was a teenager, her father got drunk and tried to rape her, but was shot dead by her mother.

This unbearable experience also made her always highly vigilant about the illegal rules in Hollywood.

And firmly resist any inappropriate behavior.

However, Charlize doesn't hate all men.

She just disliked the compulsive behavior.

And Du Sheng has always treated her like a gentleman, which allowed her to hide that regret.

Not to mention the other party's sincere advice and the kindness revealed in their words.

Charlize was silent for a moment, then spoke her mind frankly:
“In a place like Hollywood, I can’t just take any role I want.

There are few female roles and the competition is extremely fierce. Sometimes, even if you try your best, you may not be able to stand out.

Regardless of whether the role is suitable or not, even if there is only a slight possibility, everyone will fight hard to climb up..."

Seeing the creature in front of him expressing such emotion, Du Sheng couldn't help but think of his own rise to fame.

After experiencing various difficulties in the early stages, we basically relied on "hard power" to overcome all difficulties and rarely encountered such helpless predicaments.

Thinking back to the roles Charlize Theron had played in the past, he suddenly remembered the next few films that were about to be prepared.

For example, the heroine in the subsequent series of "Resident Evil".

With Charlize's temperament, she is fully capable of playing this role.

There are also "The Hunger Games", "Pacific Rim" series, etc.

With her strong aura and superb acting skills, she can handle various types of roles well.

Whether it's a tough female warrior or a complex villain, there is no challenge at all.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she was not particularly successful in her representative works.

Even the film that helped her win the Oscar for Best Actress was far less influential than any of the above films.

However, this was just a sudden whim of Du Sheng. Even if he wanted to take pictures of these in the future, it was unknown whether he would use her.

What's more, it would be extremely irresponsible to casually promise such an important role.

After dinner, there was no further intimacy and the two said goodbye to each other in a friendly manner.

Du Sheng knew that with his current influence in Hollywood, it was unlikely that he would be as comfortable as he was in China.

It is rare for a top actress to pay for someone's performance when they just meet.

But it doesn’t matter, because the charming Ivanka will be waiting for him when he goes back tonight.

Ivanka, who successfully auditioned and got the role, couldn't stay in Los Angeles for long and came here just for the sake of it.

After all, she acted in the show just for fun, and her role wasn't very big, so it was impossible for her to stay here for a long time.

Therefore, Du Sheng plans to have a good discussion with Ivanka about the compatibility of the roles during the next period of time.

Pass on your specialties and abilities to her so that she can have a great time!

.........

"Taylor! I love you!"

"Swiftie, you are the most charming sweetheart!"

During a lively promotional event, fans screamed one after another.

Taylor had a sweet smile on her face and was immersed in the joyful interaction with her fans.

She had just tasted the taste of being famous, and had not yet completely recovered from the novelty.

Therefore, every time I participate in a promotional activity, I am full of enthusiasm, as if I have endless energy.

But once I stopped backstage, I couldn't help feeling a little tired.

When she saw Du Sheng slowly push the door open, her tiredness disappeared and she smiled brightly again.

She couldn't wait to get up and wanted to jump into Du Sheng's arms like a happy little bird.

Du Sheng kissed her gently and said softly:
"Let's go have dinner first, then go shopping?"

"You promised it a long time ago, so you can't go back on your word!"

Taylor said happily.

After being apart for a while, she actually missed him very much.

Du Sheng put his hand on her slightly fluctuating conscience, raised the corner of his mouth, with a hint of ridicule:
"What kind of missing do you have? Let me feel it for myself."

"Humph, Brother Sheng is so bad~"

Taylor pouted, but instead of letting go, she moved her whole body forward.

After teasing Taylor a little and making the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant, Du Sheng reminded:

"Now that your popularity has skyrocketed, in order to protect your fans, you don't need to respond to any rumors about us for now. Do you understand that this is a long-term plan?"

Taylor pouted slightly and nodded obediently, then blinked her big Carslan eyes and asked curiously:
"What about next year?"

Taylor's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

By next year, her status should be stable and there will be no obstacles for her to make the scandal public.

After all, in Hollywood, there is already a familiar hype routine.

From suspected love, to exposure, to coming true, to showing off their love...

All one-stop service, we have 'real street shots' from any angle you want.

Du Sheng gently stroked Taylor's smooth hair and said:

"Although your mother doesn't agree with the scandal now, she is right about one thing. You are now a popular idol star, and this is your career.

If your relationship is suddenly exposed, it will undoubtedly damage the good image you have worked so hard to build..."

Taylor pouted in dissatisfaction:

"She treated you so badly when you met, and you still spoke up for her?"

Du Sheng recalled the situation when they met just now and just smiled:
"She is your mother after all. Even for you, I won't bother with her."

"Brother Sheng, you are so nice!"

Taylor was deeply moved and hugged Du Sheng and gave her a kiss. Du Sheng saw that Taylor was still a little unhappy and knew that she was still concerned about the relationship, so he smiled and said:
"You are already independent. It won't be long before you become a big star, an idol that everyone admires. You must not act on impulse..."

Taylor is the typical lighthouse girl. At this stage of growth, she is particularly eager to prove her independence. Du Sheng's words hit the nail on the head.

"Well, that's right!"

"So, sometimes you have to learn to face the troubles you encounter, even if you have to make some sacrifices for it. Isn't that what you should do?"

"I'm very generous, okay? No!"

Taylor argued quietly.

Du Sheng smiled, knowing that girls at this age actually care more about what their peers think of them.

Just like Taylor, the reason why she was troubled by relationship problems was that she was teased by her good friend Abigail in high school.

"Have you been in touch with her recently?"

Du Sheng asked softly.

Taylor got excited when he mentioned this:

"Of course! I called her before to tell her that I had caught up with my idol. At first she argued that I was daydreaming, but later she simply didn't dare to answer the phone! Hahaha!"

Thinking that Du Sheng is the idol of her good sister, the result...

Whenever Taylor talks about this, she is very happy. This is simply one of the happiest things for her.

"Coming of age means freedom. You won't be controlled by your parents in everything. You can make your own decisions in the future."

Du Sheng suddenly remembered that Taylor's parents often interfered with his agency affairs, so he tried to persuade her:
“How much pocket money did you have each week when you were studying?”

Due to her age, this girl is not only controlled by her mother in terms of money, but also relies on her father's connections in her career.

Although there is nothing wrong with it for the time being, once a serious conflict occurs with Big Machine Records, termination of the contract will be inevitable.

There are also some of her ideological issues, such as her private life and standing in the party, etc.

So some things need to be prevented in advance.

After all, this girl will be a one-of-a-kind global superstar in the future, and this bundle cannot be lost.

"100 dollars?"

Taylor gave an uncertain number.

In fact, she was exaggerating.

Because she said the price was too low, she was worried that Du Sheng would misunderstand that her mother was a person who favored boys over girls.

Although her brother was indeed treated better than herself in all aspects in the family, when she thought of her mother's lenient attitude towards Du Sheng just now, some things could not be delved into too deeply.

In fact, the idea of ​​white supremacy is indeed more common in the Beacon Country.

Her mother told her not to date a Chinese person even if she wanted to, and this is not an isolated case.

“Look, now you have your own business and can make your own money.

You no longer have to ask your parents for pocket money. Instead, you can give them pocket money.”

Du Sheng naturally wouldn't do anything to pull someone down, he just gave a roundabout and friendly reminder.

Taylor thought about how he had to beg his mother for a little pocket money.
If my parents ask me for pocket money in the future, I will feel relieved just thinking about that situation.

"Then how much should we give them in the future?"

Taylor doesn't have many friends, and given his relationship with Du Sheng, they naturally talk about everything.

"With your future achievements, if you increase it a hundredfold and make $10,000 a week, I think they will definitely be satisfied."

Du Sheng said.

Although her family is relatively wealthy, this figure is not low and exceeds the income of 99% of the people in the Lighthouse Country.

Taylor nodded repeatedly after hearing this:

'They only give me so much every week, and now I give them dozens of times more. I feel so generous! '

Du Sheng patiently guided her and slowly changed her outlook on life.

Although this kind of guidance requires some thought, it is actually not as complicated as you might imagine.

On the one hand, he had completely understood the girl's personality and knew how to easily control and mobilize her emotions.

On the other hand, he also knew what this girl cared about most.

However, their sweet time did not last long, only two or three days.

The main reason is that Taylor's promotional schedule is too tight.

Can't stop almost for a moment.

As a star on the verge of breaking out, there was no way she could stay in one place for too long.

Du Sheng understands the importance of this promotional period very well.

If someone has agreed to participate in an event but suddenly shows up, it can easily be interpreted by outsiders as "acting like a big shot after becoming famous."

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the artist's image.

Therefore, Du Sheng did not intend to delay Taylor's work plans because of personal matters.

He hoped that the other party could follow the established trajectory to a higher stage and achieve brilliant achievements just like in his previous life.

Therefore, apart from preventing the other party from becoming a scumbag or standing on the wrong side, we will not deliberately interfere with her career development, but give her enough space and support.

What's more, he has a lot of things to do on his own side.

"Wanted" began preparations in the middle of last year, and the scenery, venue, union handover and other aspects had already been prepared.

After the final adjustments over the past few days, the start date has been set.

The crew of "Wanted" are packing their luggage and preparing to move to Hong Kong.

That’s right, after Du Sheng’s repeated requests and emphasis, although the filming locations could not be concentrated in the mainland, some of them were moved to Hong Kong.

After all, when it comes to the experience in shooting police and gangster films, Hong Kong is definitely the best in the world in terms of both industrial chain and talent.

As for the rest, it was still filmed in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

Of course, the main target of this film is North America, so the background setting must be changed to Chicago.

Except for the changes in the two leading actors, Du Sheng and Scarlett, everything else is basically the same as the previous life.

For example, Morgan Freeman plays the leader of a killer organization and the villain.

Carlos, who plays the father of the male protagonist Wesley and adds a revenge branch to the plot.

The entire creative team includes people with yellow, white and black skin tones, which is also to comply with local policies and political correctness.

The project will soon enter the shooting phase.

Director Timo took the film crew and the stunt team to Hong Kong in advance.

Although the Hearst sisters and Li Yixin wanted to go and play, they had to stay in Los Angeles due to a lot of work recently.

After Du Sheng explained the work here to them, he took Zhang Haolong and others to the first stop, Hong Kong.

After a lively opening ceremony, "Wanted" officially started filming at the Hong Kong Macau Film and Television Base.

Du Sheng is naturally the first-person perspective.

What was filmed was the simplest part, where the protagonist couldn't stand the bullying in the company and "beat the manager" with a broom.

The set was set up as an office, and various departments were busy preparing for the filming.

The actor who acted opposite Du Sheng was a fat man with a big face and a round belly. He walked forward with a big smile on his face and introduced himself:
"Hello, Du, I'm Custer, your biggest fan!"

This line sounds particularly familiar, as if every little Hollywood actor will automatically switch to "fanboy mode" when meeting a star.

Du Sheng took the broom handed over by the prop master and nodded politely:
"Hello."

Looking more closely, this Custer is actually a younger, fatter version of the Muggle guy, which makes people laugh.
