Extracting skills from movies

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Brother Long, the role I'm auditioning for seems to be a person with great martial arts skills.
I have to play two roles, do you think I can really handle it?"

Cheng Long smiled and patted her shoulder:

"Don't worry, with Ah Sheng here, I'll make sure everything is arranged properly for you."

Du Sheng took a sip of wine and said slowly:

"As for acting skills, there's no problem."

Compared with her previous life, after receiving his instruction, Liu Yifei's acting skills have been completely transformed.

Liu Xiaoli picked up the red wine glass and raised it to everyone:
"I'm not worried about Xixi's acting skills, I'm just worried that she will be eliminated in the first round."

Cheng Long took a sip of wine and laughed loudly:
"You can rest assured! Ah Sheng is the investor and publisher, so there is a high probability that he will not let you down."

A hint of anticipation flashed across Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes. She looked at Du Sheng's profile and said softly:

"My cousin is really reassuring when it comes to doing things."

Liu Xiaoli muttered to herself:
"She relies on her cousin for everything. She's been spoiled..."

Amid the aroma of tea, the three of them took the last sip of tea and ended the topic of the new play.

Du Sheng looked at the shadow of the sycamore tree outside the window and suddenly patted Cheng Long on the shoulder:

"Come on, I'll take you to a good place."

When the black car drove into the Olympic Opening Ceremony Operation Center, Zhang Yimou was pacing in front of the French window with a pipe in his mouth.
Zhang Jigang was tap dancing in front of his desk with a pile of documents in his arms.

Zhang Yimou was stunned when he saw Cheng Long:
"Aren't you filming in Hollywood? Did you come here to rehearse in advance?"

The list of artists who will appear at the opening ceremony has been basically finalized, and Jackie Chan will definitely not be absent.

Cheng Long laughed and said:
"Just passing by, and seeing what big deal you guys have come up with."

Several people sat around the conference table and chatted about the topic.

Zhang Jigang's melon seed shells piled up like a small mountain on the table, and Zhang Yimou's cigarette ashes fell on the design drawings.

The sound of talking and laughing continued until Cheng Long left. Zhang Yimou approached Du Sheng and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"I heard that you and Liu Yifei announced your relationship?"

Du Sheng shrugged and responded casually:
“This is just a show for the media.

Our movie will be released soon, so we can use this opportunity to stir up some discussion."

Hearing this, Zhang Jigang spat out a melon seed shell and interrupted with a smile:
"I think that girl Sissi really likes you. Her tone and expression can't lie."

Zhang Yimou nodded in agreement:

"Yes, that kind of emotion can't be faked."

Du Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "You two old men are over a hundred years old in total, and you are still talking about love?"
He was too lazy to pay attention to gossip, remembering that he also had a lot of trivial matters:
"I haven't finished revising the creative details yet, and I have to rehearse the next show tomorrow, so I won't talk about it anymore."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the office, but he was thinking about the promotion strategy of the movie in his mind.

At this time, the rumors about the two rekindled their affair almost dominated the headlines of all gossip topics on the Internet.

Many viewers were happily enjoying the show.

However, for these unconfirmed news, everyone's attitude is to watch the show and wait for the real news to be revealed.

Someone joked:
"This melon isn't ripe yet, let's just watch the fun first!"

Of course, there are also a few people who call themselves "die-hard fans" who can't hold back.

After seeing the intimate interaction between Du Sheng and Liu Yifei, I immediately said that "the fairy couple" can only appear on TV, and it is impossible for them to be cousins ​​in real life.

If Du Sheng/Liu Yifei are really in love, I will immediately stop being a fan.

Such remarks were quickly refuted by a group of "true fans":

"Take it off quickly! Our Sheng Ge doesn't need fans with such sour grapes mentality!"

At the same time, the media smelled the scent of traffic.

Various exaggerated headlines such as "Du Sheng's illegitimate child is discovered" and "Liu Yifei and Du Sheng publicly show their love" emerged one after another.

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are nothing more than gossip news, people's curiosity still makes the click rates of these articles remain high.

The editors skillfully added many details to make the story even more fascinating and irresistible.

Although Metropolitan Entertainment News actively refuted the rumors and published an article criticizing those entertainment tabloids:
“Isn’t it true that some media have too much imagination?”

But in the ocean of information where it is difficult to distinguish true from false, it is like overturned eight-treasure porridge, with sweet and salty flavors mixed together.

However, for Du Sheng's team, this is exactly the effect they are pursuing.

The heat is enough!

Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Star Media and Yinghuang Company jointly released important news:

"The Departed" and "The Legend of Zu" will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday!

As soon as this news was released, fans of Du Sheng, Liu Yifei and Chen Kun immediately started a dream linkage mode.

Three major fan groups crazily recommended the two movies online, and the comment section instantly became boiling:
"What the hell! They're releasing them at the same time? This is a love-hate relationship."

"Please release the trailer soon! I'm thirsty!"

The next day, the long-awaited behind-the-scenes footage of "The Legend of Mir 2" was finally unveiled.

In the video, Du Sheng's handsome figure who visited the set in person made fans scream with excitement, as if they were going to blow the roof off.

The comments section was abuzz:

"Hiss! Please, let it out a little more, I'll be almost healed!"

“Big brother upstairs, just watching a tidbit.

As for direct promotion? It feels like I'm going to heaven!"

“There are so many talented people…”

In the next few days, Star Media started the "daily highlights" mode in a suspenseful way.

A wonderful clip from two movies is released every day, and it easily makes it into the top ten hot searches every time.

Coupled with the fans' fiery enthusiasm, the attention to "The Departed" and "The Legend of Mir 2" has skyrocketed to the point where it is about to break through the sky.

As the two films' love-hate relationship continued to heat up, the gossip about Du Sheng and Liu Yifei kept creeping up on the vines, growing wilder and wilder...

Especially on the day when the trailer for "The Legend of Mir 2" was released, it immediately sparked heated discussion.

"Haha, why does Chen Kun look a little shy? Is he mesmerized by the beauty of the fairy?"

"Of course, it goes without saying that a beautiful angel would be shy, isn't it normal?

If a fairy gave me a kiss, I would be happy for days!"

"Look at how little you have accomplished. I hug Liu Yifei's poster and kiss it every day, but I'm not as excited as you!"

"The one upstairs, you're not going to have schizophrenia from kissing me, are you?"

"..."

Taking advantage of this trend, Interstellar Media struck while the iron was hot and released a blockbuster news:
"The Forbidden Kingdom" project is officially launched!
Soon after, Jackie Chan and Jet Li also announced the good news in public.

As soon as the news came out, the Internet went into an uproar.

"Wow, two Kung Fu superstars teaming up, this lineup is too powerful!"

"This lineup is absolutely amazing! I am looking forward to it. These two are the actors I am most loyal to!"

“But why do I have a feeling this is going to be a bad movie?

Kung Fu superstar + mythological story + ghost male protagonist, this combination is a bit weird..."

"Why isn't the male lead Du Sheng? I won't watch it without him!"

"Sharp-eyed netizens, have you noticed?
Although Star Media has obtained the distribution rights, Du Sheng has been invisible throughout the entire process. It seems that he is not very optimistic about this film! "

"..."

There are always hidden talents among the fan base, and observers have expressed their opinions.

In fact, Du Sheng did not participate in the promotion of "The Forbidden Kingdom" for his own reasons. First, he was afraid that the film would still turn out to be a bad one;
Secondly, he himself did not participate in the performance, so naturally he did not want to be too high-profile.

The reason why he obtained the distribution rights was mainly to take care of interstellar artists such as Liu Yifei.

Otherwise, he wouldn't bother to get involved in this matter.

However, there is another character that cannot be ignored.

That is Fan Bingbing.

This girl has been obedient to Du Sheng recently, and she is very good at playing tricks on him.

Let her go east, she will never go west;
Let her lie by the window, she will never sit at the table.

Even when she was asked to invite Liu Tao, Jia Jingwen, and Gao Yuanyuan to join, they happily cooperated...

Considering that this girl's two-year contract is about to expire.

Du Sheng naturally had to take special care of her.

Although "The Forbidden Kingdom" may be a "bad movie", the resources are really solid!
Think about it, Hollywood blockbusters + Jackie Chan + Jet Li + Liu Yifei...

These elements combined are simply a topic detonator!

Being able to play a role in it is an opportunity that many actors dream of.

If Fan Bingbing could also participate...

Thinking of this, Du Sheng dialed the phone:

"Did you go out today?"

On the other end of the phone, Fan Bingbing was walking around the office building with his assistant, looking at houses.

By the way, after she left Huayi in her previous life, she set up her own studio and gradually shifted her focus to behind the scenes.

That year, she filmed the Republican drama "Rouge Snow" as a producer, and then produced five films including "Contract Lovers", "The King's Woman", and "Shinjuku Incident".

Although the response was average, a lot of experience was accumulated.

In this life, under the influence of Du Sheng, Fan Bingbing's career ambitions became even more vigorous.

In addition, as her contract with Star Media was about to expire, she decided to set up her own studio and merge it with Star Media so that they could cooperate more closely.

When she heard Du Sheng's call, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised:

"Zhang Siman and I are in the office building, preparing to find a suitable place to set up the studio."

“Investment store?”

Du Sheng asked curiously.

"no."

Fan Bingbing chuckled and explained:
"It's to facilitate settlement and cooperation. Didn't you ask me to open a studio and affiliate it with Interstellar Media? I'm looking for a suitable office location."

"Okay, I fully support you!"

Although Du Sheng's words were brief, they hit home.

"Ah Sheng, you have to protect me from now on."

Fan Bingbing said coquettishly:

"Without you standing behind me, all those stinky men would try to take advantage of me."

"Haha, I'll hold you up tonight, but don't beg for mercy like you did the past few days."

Du Sheng responded with a smile.

In the car, Fan Bingbing and Du Sheng were so affectionate that even the usually smart and capable assistant Zhang Siman couldn't help but smile foolishly.

She knew in her heart that Du Sheng's power was not to be underestimated.

Seeing that her boss and this big shot had such a close relationship that they could wear the same pair of pants, oh no, three pairs of pants, she felt so happy.

With such a strong support, what will you worry about in the future?
"Oh, right, ice."

Du Sheng suddenly remembered the important matter and changed the subject.

"Have you heard about The Forbidden Kingdom?"

"of course."

Fan Bingbing's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a hint of surprise:
"Could it be... that there is a share for me?"

"Yes, the other main female lead, the 'White-haired Witch', I think you are quite suitable, how about we have a detailed discussion this afternoon?"

Du Sheng's recommendation of Fan Bingbing for the audition was certainly not without purpose.

First of all, this girl has a gorgeous appearance, a strong aura, and a unique charm and domineering.

The White-Haired Witch Lian Nishang is also a character with a distinct personality who dares to love and hate.

Fan Bingbing's image is very suitable for this kind of cold, resolute and charming character, and can leave a deep impression visually.

"Ahhh! Ah Sheng, you're so nice! I'll come find you after I finish looking at the house..."

Fan Bingbing was so excited that he almost jumped up from the back seat, and then he changed his words:
"No, I have to go home and change my clothes first!"

No wonder she was so happy.

After all, for many female stars, this kind of top-notch cast may not be encountered once in their lifetime.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Siman came over curiously:
"Sister Bingbing, what did Brother Sheng say to you? You look so happy."

Fan Bingbing winked charmingly and said with a smile:

"He strongly recommended me to audition for The Forbidden Kingdom. Just tell me whether I am happy or not!"

As long as Du Sheng gets the word out, the white director and Lionsgate will look at him with more respect.

She doesn't ask for too much. As long as she can enter the next round, she can eliminate 90% of the top female stars in the domestic entertainment industry.

"Great! Sister Bingbing, this proves that it was a wise decision for you to join StarCraft. Good luck is chasing you!"

Zhang Siman was also happy for her.

Fan Bingbing smiled and waved:
"It's not that mysterious. It's mainly because of Ah Sheng."

"Hehe, who made you so charming, Sister Bingbing? Brother Sheng must like you. Even I like you very much!"

Zhang Siman praised.

"You bastard, you were still on the phone with Yao Yang until the early hours of the morning. You have no sincerity at all!"

Fan Bingbing cursed with a smile.

After choosing an office in a building in Dongcheng District, Fan Bingbing couldn't wait to go home and dress herself up.

She stood in front of the mirror, gesturing left and right, and finally chose a beige sweater, with a black turtleneck underneath, and a burgundy cashmere cardigan on the outside.

He wore a pair of straight black trousers and a pair of shiny Martin boots on his feet.

In the mirror, she had a delicate face like a fox, fair and translucent skin, and a slender figure. Even Zhang Siman couldn't take his eyes off her:
"Sister Bingbing, you are absolutely gorgeous today!"

"Just your sweet mouth!"

Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

At the same time, Du Sheng was busy at the opening ceremony training ground.

The LED light strips delivered by the decoration company are being installed in full swing. When lit up, they shine like the Milky Way, basically meeting the needs.

After watching for most of the day with the director team, he immediately rushed to the stadium next door to check on the preparations for the "Four Great Inventions" project.

By the time all the work was completed, it was already completely dark.

After seeing off Fan Niu who came to visit, he hurried to the city.

I have agreed to the invitation to direct the new version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" directed by Gao Xixi, and I can't postpone it.

This time, Interstellar Media has forced several actors to join the crew. Although it is both the investor and the producer, it still has to show some respect and sincerity.
