Extracting skills from movies

The two smiled at each other. The spearman and the passionate woman were indeed a perfect match.

Scarlett seemed to be remembering something and her expression became more and more excited.

Teacher Du's iron-blooded gun seemed to have opened up a whole new path for her.

After everything was smooth, she already had a plan in mind.

Next month, I will use my ex-boyfriend to stir up some heat and maintain my popularity.

Then, before Wanted is released, he will hype himself up with Du Sheng again and enjoy two waves of popularity in a row.

As long as the film is a big success, she can do anything.

Scarlett was thinking to herself that as long as these two things went a little smoothly, the benefits would be unimaginable!
She couldn't help but let a smile appear on her face.

On the other side, Du Sheng seemed to still be immersed in the afterglow of the previous moment, half leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed.

After a short rest, he walked out of Scarlett's RV and was the first to leave the set.

No matter who asked, I was just discussing the characters and the plot with Scarlett.

In Hollywood, this kind of crew relationship is not uncommon. As for any scandals, they are all just hearsay.

As long as it involves popularity and traffic, if the person involved does not speak, it will always be just a rumor.

Du Sheng had to go and see off Zhou Huimin and Zhang Baizhi, so he didn't have the time to think about these things.

Half a month passed by unknowingly.

During this period, "Wanted" has completed the filming of two major sub-plots: street chase and activating potential.

The story here naturally revolves around the protagonist Du Sheng.

For example, the street chase was filmed in the Jordan Road area of ​​Hong Kong.

"Infernal Affairs" was also filmed here before, and it was really great for shooting street chases.

This scene is about Wesley being attacked by a killer, and the sexy killer Firefox appears again to protect him.

The general plot is that the two people staged a thrilling car chase scene in the downtown area. Scarlett Johansson, who played the role of Firefox, even lay on the hood of the car and engaged in a gunfight with the killer chasing from behind. It is a classic scene.

As for activating the potential, after Wesley was brought to the League of Assassins, the villain Morgan Freeman forced him to use a pistol to shoot off the wings of a fly.

In a life-or-death situation, he actually shot off the fly's wings, and thus discovered that he had a talent for shooting. The rapid secretion of adrenaline made his reaction ability far superior to that of ordinary people...

These action scenes were naturally not difficult for Du Sheng, so they were shot quickly.

Next, he had to go to Phoenix TV.

Not long ago, the second season of the "Forensic Heroes" series was broadcast and, as expected, continued to be a hit.

The third part has entered the preparation stage, so he has to show up at least once.

The second season of "Voice of the East" is about to begin. As an honorary mentor of the previous session, I must do a good job of handing over the past and the next.

Of course, these things have to be dealt with before the crew moves.

As for Ye Jingzhi, she called to ask whether she would attend the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou Asian Games.

Du Sheng agreed considering that the event would be held at the end of December and people would not be so busy at that time.

As for the listing opportunity of Country Garden, should he show up?
He smiled and declined.

After all, he never got involved in these matters, and it was always Ye Jingzhi who took care of them.

Taking into account the flaws in his previous life, he felt that he did not have the ability to correct them for the time being. The most he could do was to allow Country Garden to develop in a healthy way, so he did not participate.

In addition, the third Chinese album is also ready to be released.

Now with the development of the Internet + streaming media platforms, plus the anticipation for the first two albums, although there is no need to go through the trouble of promoting it, some programs to increase exposure still need to be recorded.

It just so happened that we were going to shoot a fierce battle scene on a train, so we needed to go back to the mainland to find a green-skinned train for the shoot.

This scene tells the story of Wesley receiving a mission to assassinate the second boss and fighting with him on the train.

The train driver slammed on the brakes on a valley bridge, causing the train to crash, and the two men engaged in a fierce gun battle in the chaos.

In the end, Wesley shot the second boss, but before he died, the other party told him that he was his father...

Since this was a real-life shoot, it cost a lot of money and had to conform to the valley topography, so we ultimately chose Shenzhen City Industrial Station.

It's full of retro train elements, with old rails, 'Dongfeng' locomotives, and related immersive tracks and valleys.

Of course, the most important thing is that the venue is spacious and can accommodate many actors shooting at the same time.

Fortunately, when the local village head learned that the photo would have a chance to become a tourist attraction, he not only agreed readily, but also helped to dispatch an abandoned green train.

What’s even more coincidental is that Liu Yifei, who is currently filming “Yuan Mengyao”, is also nearby, so we can get together.

Du Sheng left the crew temporarily and drove directly to the villa he had bought in Shenzhen.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiaoli was also here, apparently busy with the record settlement of Girls' Generation.

Seeing Du Sheng coming in, Liu Xiaoli hurried to greet him.

She took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, squatted down to help Du Sheng put them on, and said with a smile:
"You're back. The meal is ready. Let's eat first and then we can do other things later."

Liu Yifei, who was standing by, saw this scene and pouted her lips.

She even puffed up her cheeks on purpose, looking like she was really angry, and said coquettishly:
"Mom! We haven't seen each other for half a month. How come you don't even say a word of concern to me? All you have in your eyes is my cousin!"

Liu Xiaoli felt amused and helpless when she heard her daughter's complaints:

"You are an adult now, and you still expect your mother to take care of you like a child?

Come in quickly, change your shoes, and prepare to eat."

Liu Yifei was choked speechless and could only stand there angrily, like a kitten whose candy had been taken away.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xiaoli and Du Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As he stepped into the house, Du Sheng took off his coat casually, collapsed on the sofa like a puddle of mud, and let out a long sigh.

Although he is in excellent physical condition now and filming is not a physically strenuous job for him, the mental tension is still high and makes him feel a little tired.

When I get home, I feel relaxed, like a sweet rain after a long drought. It’s so comfortable.

After a while, Aunt Li brought the steaming food to the table.

A strong smell of chives whizzed into Du Sheng's nose.

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up immediately and she shouted excitedly:
"Wow! Chive crab and salt-baked chicken, so good!"

In an instant, she felt her mother's silent love.

She kissed Liu Xiaoli on the face and ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Liu Xiaoli carefully folded the coat that Du Sheng had taken off and said:
“When the news spread that your Hollywood blockbuster would be filmed in Hong Kong and the mainland, people in the industry were very excited.

Today I received two invitations to film and television related activities..."

After washing his hands, Du Sheng sat down at the dining table and asked casually:
"What aspects?"

"You are filming in Hong Kong, right? The Academy Awards ceremony is about to begin, and they want you to be the last to appear."

During this period, He Xiaoli has been acting as an agent.
In addition, she is also the agent of Girls' Generation. If Du Sheng or Wang Jinhua cannot be contacted for some business invitations, they will most likely convey them to her.

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This year's Academy Awards has big names like Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, and Guo Fucheng in charge, so there's no need for me to support the occasion."

According to the principle of regional priority, and considering his age, his going there would just be a formality and there is no need for it.

Liu Xiaoli handed Du Sheng a bowl of soup and said with a smile:
"That's fine. You're busy lately anyway, so I'll decline for you."

Du Sheng asked:
"What's the other invitation?"

"It's an online song ranking event organized by Xinlang Entertainment and several record companies in Maitian, and they want to invite you to participate.

Oriental Mobile is also involved in the planning of this event, and CEO Chen Yanyun also hopes that you can go, and the time is next Saturday."

Du Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

He is very clear about the current situation of the mainland record industry.

It looks bustling on the surface, but in fact it is all supported by the huge income from the ringback tone business.

He can earn hundreds of millions a year just from the ringback tone business, just like a money printing machine!

How can outsiders not be jealous?

According to Oriental Mobile's forecast, the entire ringback tone service market will exceed 2006 billion in 35.

In comparison, the traditional record industry's audio and video product sales in 2005 were less than 26 billion.

Whether it is Yinghuang’s newly established record company or Xinchu’s online song rankings, both are eyeing the huge potential market of digital music.

Xinlang invited Du Sheng to participate in the event because Du Sheng is known as the "Father of Internet Songs" on the Internet, and many of the Internet songs he created are well-known in the sinking market.

More importantly, he pioneered the ringback tone business and brought new opportunities to the entire industry.

Therefore, even though the competition in the record industry is fierce, Du Sheng's position is stable.

If Du Sheng could participate in Xinchu's activities, the influence of the activities would definitely increase.

But Du Sheng didn't have a good impression of Xinchu, which had a background in the Lighthouse Country, so naturally he didn't want to support it.

"I have to go abroad for filming later, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with at the company. I really can't spare the time to participate in the event. You should decline it."

Once a person gains fame and influence, invitations to various events will come to him like snowflakes.

If you don't know how to say no, you will be overwhelmed by these social engagements.

Besides, Du Sheng's schedule is full.

Not to mention the filming matters, I have to negotiate several important cooperation projects in the next few days.

Fortunately, the company is operating well and all business segments are progressing steadily.

After dinner, Du Sheng didn’t have time to hang out and drove to the entrance of Shenzhen TV Station.

After waiting for a while, I saw Wang Jing, Xie Tingfeng, Siqin Gaowa, Liu Tao and Jiang Xin walking out of the TV station.

Du Sheng got out of the car and waved to Liu Tao in the crowd.

Liu Tao had been informed long ago, and as soon as he came out he looked around and soon saw Du Sheng.

She had a warm smile on her face and ran towards Du Sheng happily.

At the same time, Wang Jing and a group of people were also walking towards this side.

"Big Shot", a epic production adapted from Gu Long's novel of the same name, was filmed last year and is expected to be broadcast in the middle of this year.

The original plan was to invite Du Sheng to perform, but he had already moved on to the big screen.

Wang Jing had no choice but to invite Xie Tingfeng, who was engaged in TV dramas, to take over.

Because of his relationship with Du Sheng, Liu Tao had worked with Du Sheng before in "The World's Number One", so he was given the second role.

Because of the large cast, this drama was produced at a huge cost, and the price is frighteningly high.

It is like a tempting cake that attracts the greedy eyes of many TV stations, but it also comes with huge risks.

After all, with such a huge investment, no one can guarantee that they will make a big profit.

After fierce competition and consideration, the drama was finally won by the City TV Cooperation Group composed of more than a dozen local TV stations.

Then, based on how much money each TV station contributed, we carefully discussed the broadcast time and plan.

During this period, Liu Tao was like a busy little bee, running around with the crew and busy with publicity work.

Jiang Xin, who was originally mediocre in fame, became popular thanks to the two hit works "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "Wulin Waijia", and was noticed by Wang Jing and played a role in her.

So, I was also arranged to follow the crew throughout the promotion process.

Du Sheng walked up to Liu Tao and gave her a big hug, and gently kissed her on the cheek, as if they were a pair of lovers who had met again after a long separation.

Then, he saw Jiang Xin was also there, so he half-jokingly said:
"Xiao Xin, long time no see, do you want a hug too?"

He thought Jiang Xin would be hesitant and refuse like before.

Unexpectedly, this time Jiang Xin seemed like a different person. She walked over confidently, not only hugged Du Sheng tightly, but also left a gentle kiss on his cheek happily.

Wang Jing looked at the scene in front of him and immediately gave a thumbs up with a mocking look on his face.

In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is commonplace. He is also a man who has seen many ups and downs. He smiled and said:

"Ah Sheng, do you have any special plans tonight? How about getting together?"

Du Sheng pointed to the car parked next to him and said with a smile:
“I have an appointment tonight, let’s get together next time when we have time.

I wish Director Wang's new drama a huge hit and a meteoric rise."

When Wang Jing heard this, he smiled brightly and spoke in a humble tone:
"To be honest, this is all thanks to you!
I was worried that costume dramas like "Big Shot" would gradually be forgotten by the audience. After all, modern themes are popular now.

I didn't expect that your "The Return of the Condor Heroes" would be a great success in both word-of-mouth and ratings as soon as it was broadcast, and it directly revitalized the costume drama market.

At the film screening last month, the film purchasing managers of major TV stations praised the finale of "Big Shot" highly, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief."

What Wang Jing said was all true, without any falsehood.

The previous popularity of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was like a bomb, reigniting the enthusiasm of the entire film and television market for costume dramas, and also making TV stations full of expectations for those boldly adapted dramas.

Affected by this, the selling price of "Big Shot" was much higher than originally expected.

Du Sheng hurriedly greeted Xie Tingfeng, Siqin Gaowa and others on the side of the road, then got into the car with Liu Tao and rushed to the next stop.

The car soon arrived at the familiar Chinese restaurant.

The two men pushed open the door and walked into the box. They saw four grown men sitting inside and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

When He Guohua, general manager of Huaxia Film, saw Du Sheng appear, he stood up and said, as if he had seen a savior:

"Ah Sheng, thank you for your hard work. You just came back from Hong Kong yesterday, right?"

He was supporting Du Sheng, and then introduced:

“This is Director Wen Zhengqiang of Bayi Film Studio, and this is Liu Yunlong of Eastern Alliance Films.

Teacher Mai Jia, we are old friends, so there is no need to introduce ourselves to each other.”
