Extracting skills from movies

Du Sheng sneered in his heart:

'As expected of the LGBT Captain, he is mentally ill! '

Although the other party did not follow the script, he still had a gentle smile on his face and said lightly:

“It seems that the information you know is not comprehensive enough.

In addition to music and boxing, my fans are mostly related to film and television.

For example, "SPL" earned tens of millions of dollars in North America and a global box office of 2280 million dollars;
The follow-up "Flash Point" was recently withdrawn from North America, and its global box office has exceeded 3000 million US dollars.

There is also "Baby Project" which is being released in various Asian countries. The box office has reached 3300 million so far and is expected to be easy..."

He paused for a moment, as if giving the audience time to digest the information, and then added:
“Also, my kung fu instructional videos are quite popular on all major streaming platforms, so you can check them out wherever you want.”

Since the other party wants to cause trouble, he naturally won't tolerate it.

Alan did not give up easily and continued to ask:

"It is undeniable that Scarlett and the Hearst sisters have indeed made your fame soar rapidly."

Du Sheng narrowed his eyes and said:
“If I really wanted to rely on female celebrities to get ahead, why not choose someone else?

For example, if I expose your secrets here, wouldn't that increase your popularity?"

Allen frowned slightly and corrected:

"It's true that I support LGBT, but I don't have any so-called scandals to expose."

"Haha, that's not necessarily the case."

Du Sheng laughed and said playfully:
"I believe the audience watching this show are also very curious about whether I will explode or not."

This is a live show, and Allen doesn't have the final say on the TV station, so he is not afraid of being cut at all.

On the contrary, this is very likely to boost the ratings of the show, and may even lead the way in watching the show.

As for Allen’s scandal?
It's too much.

For example, not long ago, she posted a photoshopped photo of herself riding on the back of sprint champion Bolt via Twitter, which was full of sarcasm.

There are also various forms of duplicity, workplace meanness, racial discrimination, harassment, etc.

If you show any weakness in front of such a person, it will only make him become more aggressive.

His performance, which was measured and just right, won thunderous applause from the audience.

Alan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Du Sheng's handsome face that looked like a sculpture.

Even though she is a lesbian, she has to admit that this face seems to be endowed with magical powers that make people feel good about it involuntarily.

In this age where appearance is justice, such outstanding looks are undoubtedly a powerful trump card.

Seeing that a head-on confrontation would not yield any benefit, Allen adjusted his strategy, changed the topic, and instantly put on a friendly smile on his face, saying:

"I heard that you have a very good relationship with Martin Scorsese, so he chose you as the leading actor in The Departed, is that true?"

Du Sheng looked calm and admitted without hesitation:
“That factor certainly played a role, but the more important thing was that my acting skills and abilities were perfectly matched to the requirements of the role.

Although I brought my own money into this film, it incorporates a lot of action elements, and my solid acting skills and practical techniques are the core reasons why I was able to get this role."

This answer neither denied the good relationship with the director, but also cleverly shifted the focus to the main point, leaving the other party with no focus.

Allen showed an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise, and said with wide eyes:

"Good at fighting? Are you really better than Tyson?"

There is obviously something else behind these words, and there is a hidden meaning behind them.

Du Sheng would not fall into the trap easily, and said calmly:
"Everyone excels in different areas, so naturally everyone has their own strengths and abilities."

Alan gently stretched out his fingers and tapped the armrest of the sofa rhythmically, the action seemed to be conveying some secret signal.

She then continued to ask questions:

"Fans online say that no one in the entire boxing world can rival you. Do you think that's right?"

Du Sheng looked calm and said slowly:

"A year ago, I said I would accept the crossover challenge of the world boxing champion, but it has not happened yet. What do you think is the problem?"

Allen knew he had run into a tough guy, so he ignored the other party's teasing and continued:
"If you really encounter a psychopathic killer as advertised in the Baby Project, what would be your first response?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Sheng vaguely heard a strange noise.

Then, the table with a strange shape, which looked like a wooden box, suddenly cracked without any warning!

A "freak" with a twisted body and extremely terrifying appearance, holding a sharp knife that was shining with cold light, suddenly emerged like a vicious beast jumping out of the darkness!
Du Sheng's eyes were stern, but he was not panicked at all.

He flashed as fast as lightning, grabbed the opponent's pulse and twisted it with his backhand.

With a "click", the "freak" was instantly pinned down on the wooden box, and screams echoed throughout the scene.

Du Sheng took the prop knife and threw it away, while pressing the back of the opponent's neck firmly, making him unable to move.

All this happened in a flash, the audience was stunned, and then broke into deafening applause.

They thought it was a carefully planned segment of the show.

Seeing this, Allen quickly stood up and waved:
"Stop! This is our groundskeeper, just a joke."

Du Sheng let go of his hand, his tone calm but with a hint of displeasure:
“No one told me this in advance.”

The "freak" rubbed his sore wrist, glared at Du Sheng, and left the stage with a dejected look on his face.

The original plan was to scare someone, but I almost got taught a lesson and had my bonus deducted. Naturally, I was not in a good mood.

Alan quickly tried to smooth things over:
"I have to say that Du is really capable and his on-the-spot reaction is very quick."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause again.

Du Sheng knew in his heart that there were many tricks hidden behind these unexpected contents.

It is common for variety shows in the Beacon Country to make fun of foreign celebrities.

He said calmly:
"If he had shown any malicious intent, he would be in the ambulance right now."

Alan didn't dare to tease anymore and continued with a smile:

“If anyone doubts your ability as the world boxing champion again, I will be the first to disagree!
And we are also looking forward to your performance in the movie of going into the dragon's den alone to rescue the cute baby..."

Although there was still some distance in the words, there was also recognition of Du Sheng's abilities.

Du Sheng responded indifferently.

The atmosphere on the scene gradually eased amidst laughter.

Allen pointed to the big screen and said with a smile:

"Now, let's enjoy the trailer of "Baby Project" and feel the charm of Jack Chen and King Du!"

As the show entered the trailer playing segment, the talk show was coming to an end.

In reality, very little of the process went according to the script.

Du Sheng walked into the lounge, followed by his agent Hades, who whispered:
"When that groundskeeper suddenly appeared just now, you should have pretended to be frightened."

Du Sheng sneered:
"Taking action is in line with my character."

He asked casually:
"Did they inform you in advance?"

Hades shook his head quickly:
"No, no one has discussed this with me."

He tried to lighten the mood:
"Similar situations are very common here. Even Damon has been tricked before. Don't take it too seriously."

Du Sheng didn't comment, but was too lazy to delve into it.

Anyway, there is a high probability that he will not come again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hades responded, and Allen pushed the door open and said bluntly:
"You just didn't cooperate well enough."

Du Sheng responded calmly:

"It's my instinct when practicing boxing. This is my first reaction when encountering an emergency." Allen stared at him with a little displeasure in his tone:

"You don't follow the routine, which makes it difficult for me."

Du Sheng did not give in, and met her gaze and asked back:

“Is it difficult?

Then don't do it.

In addition, you did not give any warning in advance. This would happen to anyone who was attacked. Now you are putting the blame on others?"

Allen said coldly:
"This show will be broadcast as planned, but I will not work with you again."

Du Sheng had a blank expression on his face. A half-inch long needle quietly appeared between his fingers. He raised his hand slightly and threw it away.

Alan, who had just walked out of the house, felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck. He reached out to touch it but found nothing unusual.

She thought it was a mosquito bite and didn't take it seriously.

After she left, Hades couldn't help but say:

"That's not nice, she might lash out at you."

Du Sheng turned and looked at Ma Yaowei in the corner of the room.

Ma Yaowei put on his headphones, tapped the device in his hand, and after listening to the recorded conversation, he made an OK gesture to Du Sheng.

Hades saw the trick: "..."

After returning to the car, Du Sheng saw that he still wanted to talk, so he waved his hand and said:
"If she really criticized me, it would just bring popularity to the crew. There's no need to worry too much about the gains and losses."

Of course, the premise is that Alan does not become mentally ill.

Otherwise, if you become stupid, you probably won’t have this opportunity.

As Hadds works for the CAA agency, he couldn't help but be very annoyed with Allen at this moment.

After these hosts become famous, they become more and more outrageous and unable to control their mouths.

Especially when meeting foreign guests, they are too lazy to even give the most basic advance notice.

Of course, this time the factor of the agency behind "Little Bully" Stoudemire is probably also involved.

After all, the direct crash of a well-known star is a huge loss.

However, this small setback did not disrupt the overall promotion rhythm of the crew.

Du Sheng's performance in the show has won him a lot of favor from the audience, and his number of fans in North America is also steadily increasing.

At the same time, online marketing entered its final sprint.

Smith School, New York.

Kagya sat in front of the computer, concentrating on controlling the character in the "Baby Project" game, killing people all the way.

The design of this page game is very simple and the operation is not complicated.

For example, he was controlling the character Octopus played by Du Sheng, whose only skills were blasting, stealing, hunting, etc.

In addition, the game adds some puzzle elements based on the plot.

For example, you can defeat monsters to collect the missing baby's belongings, and use the help of hounds to find clues.

Kagya skillfully operated the mouse and keyboard, killing several black gangsters in succession, and finally found the cute baby.

When he controlled the character to rescue the cute baby, a lottery interface popped up on the screen.

"YES!"

Kagya breathed a sigh of relief, silently prayed for God's blessing, and then clicked the start button of the lottery wheel.

The pointer spun rapidly and finally stopped steadily at the super prize position.

The moment he saw the result, Kagya couldn't believe his eyes.

He checked several times before he was sure that he had won the biggest prize:

Will be traveling to Los Angeles for the premiere of The Baby Project for free!
With a few days left until the premiere, various awards on the website have been announced one after another, and many winners have shared their joy in the comment section.

Some received one hundred US dollars, some received Sony gaming products, and some even received autographed photos of Jackie Chan or Du Sheng.

According to statistics, the total number of people participating in the lottery exceeded 200 million.

The total number of page views on the website has exceeded 10 million.

In addition, as "SPL" and "Flash Point" were officially withdrawn from theaters in North America and their DVDs and videotapes were put on the market, short advertisements for "The Baby Project" were added to the opening credits of both films.

Let more and more people pay attention to the existence of this film.

Du Sheng and Cheng Long’s fan clubs also began to take active action, calling on Los Angeles fans on major platforms to attend the premiere in person to support their idols.

Fans in other regions are encouraging more friends and family to buy tickets to support the film after it is released.

With the arrival of Cheng Long and the approaching premiere, Li Yixin and Lydia also took action.

The crew specially allocated a sum of marketing funds to customize a large number of light signs and posters with the image of Du Sheng or Cheng Long.

Li Yixin specifically met with Cui Yayi to discuss relevant matters.

"I have five hundred light signs and two thousand posters here."

Li Yixin said:
“We are not short of materials at the moment, but we are short of manpower.

We need to mobilize as many fans as possible to support Du Sheng on the red carpet.”

Cui Yayi responded:

"The number of people I counted is at least 5. As for the fans who went there spontaneously, it is difficult to estimate the exact number."

She also mentioned a new situation:
"Taylor and Scarlett will also be attending the red carpet event, and I think there will be a lot of their supporters coming."

Li Yixin was well prepared for this:

“We also made some of their light boards and posters.”

According to the prediction of the media, after the film is released, it will definitely attract a group of audiences who like Taylor and Scarlett to go to the cinema and buy tickets to watch the film.

At this critical juncture of competing for film schedules, even an extra tenth would be of great help.

Cui Yayi has organized several activities in the country and gradually gained confidence:
"Leave the on-site matters to me and Haolong, but it would be best if the materials could be shipped here in advance."

Li Yixin nodded and agreed:
"No problem. We will deliver the materials to the Premiere Theater's warehouse one day in advance."

Afterwards, the two discussed in detail the specific organizational arrangements for the premiere day.

Li Yixin also left the contact information of a security manager so that she could seek timely support in case of emergencies.

.........

At noon that day, after school, with the latest model of Sony Walkman in his ears, Gerst rushed towards the computer at home like a whirlwind.

He considers himself the trend vane in the class, so naturally the song playing in his walkman is the currently popular new song by Du Sheng.

The melody seemed like his battle song to lead the trend!

Guest didn't care what skin color or where they came from, he just followed the most popular trend.

There is no doubt that Du Sheng, who has appeared frequently in major popular shows recently and has also appeared on the stages of "Saturday Night Live" and "The Ellen Show", is like a bright star in the night sky!
Although Guest is not a fan of Du Sheng's boxing, he enjoys browsing the fighting forums.

As soon as he logged into the forum, he was attracted by the heated topic.

"Duke's new movie is coming out soon, haven't you heard about it?"

"I heard that Jack Chen is also the lead actor. Is that true?"

“How come there was no news about this movie before?

Was it a failure in publicity strategy or was it an airtight confidentiality effort? "
