Extracting skills from movies

As soon as I got in the car, I heard a clear reminder sound.

[It is detected that the filming of "Wanted" has ended. Do you want to proceed with the lottery? 】

Du Sheng was a little surprised.

He originally thought that he would have to go back to Los Angeles to reshoot a few scenes before settlement would occur.

I didn't expect it to be early.

However, considering that there had been similar examples before, he was too lazy to worry about it.

This is an action movie, involving many special skills.

This is a police and gangster action movie, involving many exaggerated special skills.

For example, the protagonist Wesley underwent brutal training from the Brotherhood and mastered sophisticated fighting skills, including close combat, grappling, and dodging.

In addition, he can drive the car to drift, make sharp turns, etc. at will, using a very twisted way to evade enemy pursuit or perform tactical moves.

The most special thing is that when Wesley is extremely nervous or excited, his heart rate can reach 400 beats per minute, which greatly improves his reaction speed and perception ability. He can see the movement trajectory of objects more clearly and predict the enemy's actions in advance, thereby making faster and more accurate responses.

Of course, the most classic one is the bullet turn!

This is the most iconic skill in the film.

Wesley can make the bullet fly along a specific arc trajectory by flicking his wrist, bypassing obstacles and hitting the target accurately.

Although it is exaggerated, it still does not fall into the category of urban supernatural powers.

In other words, it can be extracted.

According to previous lottery experience, after failing to get purple for two consecutive times, there is a high probability that we will get something this time!
Sure enough, as the thought came to mind, the rating was surprisingly high.

[Statistics in progress... Host role compatibility 89.8%, role proportion 27.6%, completion 90.2%... Reward pool updated...]

[Settlement completed. The rating of "Wanted" is: Excellent+
The host's current comprehensive evaluation is D+, and the number of times you can draw a lottery per year is 1/12. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】

According to Du Sheng's guess, this probably still fails to perfectly fit the Hollywood style.

He also failed to fully present the local accents and American jokes in the film.

Considering that I am not a local native after all, this situation is normal.

[Settlement completed. The rating of "Wanted" is: Excellent+
The host's current comprehensive evaluation is D+, and the number of times you can draw a lottery is 1/12. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】

Du Sheng's mind flashed through Wesley's more useful items and skills, and he silently recited the lottery in his heart.

As the thought came to mind, seven cards popped out and exploded like flowing light.

"Hey, another sports car?"

Du Sheng's eyes swept over the $40, the Mauser rifle left by his father and other miscellaneous items, and stopped at the glittering modified sports car.

Dodge Viper SRT10!

8.3升 V10自然吸气发动机，最大功率可达 447kW，100km/h加速3.9S。

This is the protagonist's vehicle, and it is also a must-have when going out on missions or escaping from pursuit.

"According to the prices of this era, it's about a million, not bad."

Du Sheng naturally would never have too many of these valuable items.

Even if he doesn't use it, he can give it to someone else.

"This diamond bracelet seems to be a last gift that the heroine gave to the hero before she died?"

Du Sheng was a little confused.

Although the heroine's death is unavoidable, can this kind of thing be taken back?

If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it.

Anyway, diamonds are still valuable for now. Looking at their weight, they can be worth millions.

"A copy of the Black Widow movie script?"

Du Sheng looked a little strange.

If he remembered correctly, this should be one of the Marvel movies.

The leading actress is none other than Scarlett Johansson, the Black Widow.

The film grossed nearly $4 million at the global box office and won multiple awards and nominations. It is indeed a very good Hollywood blockbuster.

"The question is, how did you get it?"

Du Sheng was a little confused.

Although Scarlett Johansson is still the lead actress and plays a large role in the film, there has never been a script with a female lead in the lead before.

He thought back carefully and finally understood vaguely.

First, the story setting is similar to that of "Wanted", in which the protagonist is involved in a complex organizational conspiracy.

The same is true of the situations where both espionage skills and combat abilities are needed to resolve crises.

Second, this is also a spy thriller with plenty of action.

If you add the heroism in it...

With so many similar settings, it’s not difficult to understand them.

However, considering that he cannot act in this film and there are copyright issues involved, Du Sheng is not in a hurry and puts it aside for the time being.

Once my script inventory is exhausted and the special effects company is reorganized, it won’t be too late to put it on the agenda if I want to make some money from North America.

Of course, whether Scarlett is still the heroine depends on her sincerity.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill "Perception Ability (Blue)"! ]

When Du Sheng saw the skill introduction, his eyes lit up slightly.

[Perception Ability LV1/Blue: (100/1000):
When you are extremely nervous or excited, your reaction speed and perception ability will be greatly improved by 20%. You can see the movement trajectory of objects more clearly and predict the enemy's actions in advance, so as to make faster and more accurate reactions. 】

This is one of Wesley's special abilities, and it is also the capital that enables him to escape death every time.

Although it is only blue, the effect is not bad. It reaches 25% when upgraded to the next level.

It can be called an explosion of the small universe!
Moreover, Du Sheng himself is also blessed with "Dragon Elephant" and "Nine Yang", which makes the improvement effect even better.

Dodging bullets at the limit is no longer a luxury!
However, what made Du Sheng most happy was the purple skill he finally obtained.

[《Bullet Turn LV1/Purple (100/16000)》:
Through a special wrist flick, the bullet can fly along a specific arc trajectory, with a chance to bypass obstacles and accurately hit the target.

This is the most iconic skill in the film.

According to common sense, it is impossible to make a bullet turn simply by flicking your wrist.

This also goes against science!
But sometimes the science in movies is meant to be violated.

Since it can be extracted, it means that it has been optimized and conforms to the logic of reality.

It's just a matter of probability at most.

Du Sheng pondered it carefully for a moment and felt that this skill seemed to need to be combined with "Perception Ability" to maximize its effect.

Under extreme conditions, the probability accuracy of this arc trajectory can be increased by 25%.

If it is upgraded to LV2, it will be 30%.

"A breakthrough from zero, that's enough."

As long as the level is raised, the effect is still good.

It's a pity that this place is not suitable for shooting, and I don't have a gun license yet, otherwise I would try it out.

He glanced at the 169 million reputation points he had accumulated, and spent more than ten thousand to upgrade two skills to LV2 to strengthen the effects.

It will come in handy in the future, so it’s better to be prepared.

Du Sheng also scanned the purple skills such as "Dragon Elephant", "Mantra Hand Seal", "Light Weapon Mastery", and "Animal Communication", and finally added the reputation value to "Nine Yang Divine Art".

The requirements for the eighth level of "Dragon Elephant" are extremely demanding. Not only does it require a huge amount of reputation points, but it also requires a process of muscle training.

The main goal of this stage is to break through the belt meridian, thereby greatly improving the body's flexibility.

However, as things stand, there is no urgent need for this capability.

The effects of the latter few are not obvious for the time being.

For example, in "Light Weapons Mastery", Du Sheng doesn't even have a howitzer or a mortar, so there is not much point in improving it.

As for "Animal Communication".

Although the Divine Eagle has grown rapidly during this period and can understand some of his simple instructions, it is still a little immature compared to the state in the original book. It can fly, but considering that it will not be able to return once it is released, Du Sheng still lets it move indoors.

So after weighing the pros and cons, "Nine Yang Divine Art" is still the best choice.

This technique has a total of nine levels, and now I have cultivated it to the fifth and a half level, which is considerable progress.

For example, with the turtle breathing technique that comes with this layer, even if you are not very skilled in using it, it is easy to hold your breath underwater for a few minutes.

If he could break through and put himself into a state of suspended animation, avoiding infrared detection would not be a problem.

《Nine Yang Magic Skill (Fifth Level/Purple) (2155398→3845398/4096000)》

"We're still a few hundred thousand short, and it'll only take a few days!"

Du Sheng was somewhat expectant.

Because in addition to the greatly enhanced effect of Yi Jin Xi Sui, the next level also comes with a "Gecko Dragon" skill.

If you can master it, climbing a 90-degree smooth wall like Spider-Man will be a piece of cake.

As for the seventh level, which is immune to all poisons, and the eighth level, which is indestructible, you can tell how powerful they are just by looking at the names.

However, the reputation points required will increase later, so you will have to choose the best one based on the situation.

Of course, Du Sheng is not in a hurry either.

Anyway, with his current fame and influence, it is only a matter of time before he can upgrade his main skills to the highest level.

For example, "Baby Project" will be released in Asia and North America during the summer vacation. With Jackie Chan and his fame, it will definitely bring in endless fame.

There is also the upcoming final with Tyson, which will also bring a lot of global attention.

There will be subsequent collaborations with Leonardo DiCaprio on "The Departed", as well as hype and preheating for "Wanted", which will all have extraordinary impacts.

Even if we calculate based on the average, we can still save several million in the second half of the year.

"Yes, becoming a superman is really just around the corner!"

Du Sheng calmed down, said goodbye to the producer who was seeing him off, and took Li Yixin back to Los Angeles.

It took him several days to complete the remaining shots.

He then came to Miracle Pictures to help the Hearst sisters deal with some important business and issues such as the future development direction of the two major streaming media.

For example, in order to compete with Netflix, how can we attract and retain more users?

Combining his previous life experience, Du Sheng not only increased investment in and production of original content, launched more exclusive TV series, movies, variety shows, documentaries, etc., to form his own content characteristics and competitive advantages, but also vigorously supported emerging live broadcast models.

Today, 3G technology has become increasingly mature. Although high resolution and high frame rate are still not yet achieved, the basic architecture for short-term live broadcasts and short videos has long been available.

Of course, niche and vertical content are not left out.

For example, game live broadcast and commentary for game enthusiasts, event analysis for sports fans, and two-dimensional content for anime fans are all under development.

However, the current focus is still on exclusive TV series.

"Gossip Girl" has completed its first season and will soon be available on LME streaming.

This will be a subversive broadcast mode that will surely attract a large number of European and American audiences.

In addition, the film industry also needs to fill the gap.

Du Sheng plans to put all of "SPL" and "Flash Point" online after their offline copyrights expire.

There are also "Initial D", "Baby Project", etc., and we are also negotiating with other producers to take advantage of the vacuum period of this blue ocean to buy them out cheaply and put them on streaming media.

In addition, he also included a movie that was released some time ago.

In terms of the domestic entertainment industry, the most popular movies in April include "The City of Pain" starring Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, and "The Warring States" starring Liu Dehua and Fan Bingbing.

The biggest box office hit has to be the Hollywood blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code".

This suspense film starring Tom Hanks grossed 4000 million yuan in the mainland in its first week, breaking several annual records.

But in May, the most eye-catching combination belonged to a newlywed couple.

That’s right, it’s Ning Hao and Huang Bai!

"Crazy Stone", co-produced by the two, has performed well since its release during the May Day holiday, with box office revenue reaching 1900 million in the first week, which is several million higher than "Jasmine" starring Zhang Ziyi.

Not only that, the film has received rave reviews and has great box office potential.

A week later, it surpassed the Hollywood blockbusters "Antarctic Adventure" and "Octopus Out of the Blue" and directly topped the list.

It has been released for less than half a month and the cumulative box office has reached nearly 5500 million. It is only a matter of time before it breaks million.

Even though Liu Dehua was very busy, he still found time to arrange for someone to prepare a celebration party for "Crazy Stone".

This low-cost comedy was able to achieve such brilliant results, which not only made Ning Hao and Huang Bo's popularity soar, but also made the industry take notice of them.

Moreover, more people learned about the "Huabang New Star Director Program" jointly led by Liu Dehua and Du Sheng.

They all expressed their admiration for their philanthropic hands, which, although low-key and unknown, are by no means just lip service and are truly worthy of their reputation.

The supported director, Ning Hao, also began to be sought after in the industry.

Huang Bo, who had just joined Star Entertainment, quickly won the love of the audience with this movie and his popularity soared.

Today, he has become one of the most influential male artists in Star Entertainment besides Du Sheng, Lu Yi and others, and his career is booming.

Considering the audience of this film, Du Sheng decided to put it on TVING video to fill the gap in Asia.

Speaking of which, the box office of "Crazy Stone" has been so popular this time, and there are several reasons behind it.

First of all, we have to talk about how cleverly this popularity was gained.

Ning Hao is so shameless that he directly put a striking label on "Crazy Stone" that reads "Written by Du Sheng".

Du Sheng's name is still firmly ranked first in the list of screenwriters.

Just because of this label, the attention on "Crazy Stone" reached its peak during the promotion stage.

After all, screenwriter Du Sheng's works have long been a gold signboard, and each one is a masterpiece with excellent quality.

The last film that achieved great success under the banner of Du Sheng as the screenwriter was "The Return of the Condor Heroes" shamelessly promoted by Zhang Da Huzi.

At that time, Du Sheng did participate in the screenwriter's correction, so he was somewhat involved.

But this time with "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao was completely "forcing it".

But Du Sheng didn't care.

Firstly, this is his own company's film, and secondly, the film has received rave reviews, and signing his name would be of great benefit to his name and reputation.

Now that "Crazy Stone" has gained rave reviews, the internet is full of praise for Du Sheng's screenwriting abilities, and his reputation is rising rapidly.

Therefore, he is very concerned about the promotion of "Crazy Stone".

During the break from filming "Wanted", he also used Renren and TVING platforms to post a few messages to promote it.

As for the second reason, it is definitely inseparable from the high quality of the film itself.

In this life, the investment of "Crazy Stone" has increased, the production team is more mature and stable, and the finished film is much better than the previous one.

While ensuring quality and quantity, the picture texture and music effects are improved in all aspects.

The third reason has to do with its “magic operation” on the Internet.

Because its promotion and publicity is quite special, it focuses on Renren, YY Communication, web games, streaming media, etc.

This novel promotion immediately raised the brand’s popularity.

It also made many people in the circle take notice of him.

The most outstanding one, of course, is the promotion on the TVING platform.

During this period, various weird and funny clips of "Crazy Stone" were played on it in turn, and the popularity remained high.

"I'll give you a lung!"

"I am a brand product, Baleno!"

These classic lines instantly became popular words on the Internet.

Various memes went viral online, giving the movie a powerful boost in publicity.

The video promotion method can directly present the wonderful aspects of the movie, which can immediately arouse the audience's interest and make them willing to pay for tickets to the cinema.

This is something that cannot be achieved by simple text or picture promotion.
