Extracting skills from movies

Europe and the United States' development capabilities in entertainment peripherals can be said to be quite strong.

Du Sheng’s previous works each had its own profit model.

Movies like "SPL" and "Flash Point", although they are action movies with good reputation, are not suitable for making peripheral products such as figures or toys.

The commercial value of "Baby Project" has increased a lot because of Jackie Chan's support.

As for "The Departed", it is managed by Warner Bros. and can easily earn 100 to 200 million US dollars from the disc market.

And this time, "Wanted Order" is simply a hit seed player tailor-made for the surrounding areas!

From fantasy dreams, cool action scenes to the protagonist’s costumes and weapons, they are all excellent IP materials.

At present, various authorizations such as figures, models, clothing, etc. have been almost negotiated, and the prices are not low.

The only thing still under discussion is the cooperation authorization of the theme park.

But Du Sheng doesn't need to worry about these.

Next, after finishing the promotional work in Europe and the United States, he plans to return to China.

After all, my focus is always there.

Not to mention the many important matters that need to be finalized in the company, there is also the promotion of "The Man from Nowhere" which will be released in the summer.
Just those few women who are resting peacefully need to be visited from time to time.

The filming of "Inception" would take at least two or three months, so the schedule was quite tight.

Early that morning, Du Sheng put a certain white girl actress who was holding him like an octopus on the bed, washed up, and continued his final journey.

"Boss, Disneyland and Universal Studios are both competing for the license for Wanted, and both are very positive..."

As soon as I got in the car, a phone call came in.

Speaking of which, the original version of "Wanted" was originally a project of Universal Pictures.

Later, it became a special attraction of Universal Studios and was very popular.

Therefore, Du Sheng is more inclined to grant the license to Universal Studios.

Although Disney has a greater global influence and more tourists, its style is too dreamy and cartoony, which is not in tune with a dark and violent movie like "Wanted."

However, even though we like it, the conditions for cooperation still need to be in place.

"You guys keep pushing down the price, be tough, finalize them one by one, and report any problems at any time."

After finishing the business, Jessica's figure appeared in Du Sheng's mind again.

This white girl looks sweet, sexy and open-minded, but she is very stubborn at heart.

I have been playing with him for the past two days and she did it when I asked her to call her boyfriend...

I don’t know if I was too relaxed last night, I started begging for mercy while doing the horse stance.

I asked if I could try a different stance. My legs are almost weak.

Plus, she had to output it into a phone, which made the photographer's boyfriend break up with her.

In view of this, Du Sheng felt that she could not be allowed to limp to the final audition for the female lead in "Inception", and she had to maintain a good image no matter what.

So he softened his heart and let her go.

.........

Hearst Tower, 48th floor, New York.

That day, Amanda had just finished looking at the layout of the new office and was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking Manhattan. She suddenly felt a sense of pride in her heart.

The new Hearst Tower started construction two years ago and is the first newly built skyscraper in New York in recent years.

The exterior is stylish and modern, the interior is luxurious and environmentally friendly, and even the floor is made of recyclable materials.

Before even moving in, it had already received the gold certification from the Green Building Council of the United States of America.

The building will be officially put into use next month.

This also means that Hearst Group will enter a new stage of development.

An era dominated by their sisters.

Since she proposed the slogan of "brand rejuvenation", her voice within the family has become increasingly important.

If you just try harder, you will be able to truly take the helm.

And now, everything is just as perfect as if it was arranged by fate:
The group is moving to a new building, and it also needs to change its identity.

The only fly in the ointment is.

The man is promoting a movie and an album and is not around.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, she would have called a group of celebrity sisters and found a top bar to party until the early morning.

But it's different now.

Ever since she got together with Du Sheng, she had thrown that kind of decadent life into the trash.

Just as I was thinking about whether to drag Li Yixin to the racetrack to race a few laps to release some excitement, a burst of dynamic music suddenly came from next door:
“Just you shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart…”

Amanda laughed when she heard it.

Isn’t this the man’s new song?

As she listened to the melody with a strong sense of rhythm, she felt that her current mood was a perfect match for the song.

She pushed the door open and walked into her sister Lydia's office next door, and found the girl dancing like a master dancer in the room.

This song is in the style of popular electronic music, combining a retro feel, rhythm, power and melody, and has an extremely catchy melody.

Amanda couldn't help but join in.

The two sisters danced happily in the office and laughed so hard that they fell over.

The vice president stood nearby with a professional smile on his face.

Although I wanted to sway along, I restrained myself.

After dancing, Amanda felt refreshed and instantly fell in love with the song "Move Like Jagger".

"The electronic music is very brainwashing. Could this be the main song of Brother Sheng's new album?"

Lydia's eyes sparkled and she spoke quickly:
"Yeah! It's super exciting, right?

I was smart and installed a top-notch sound system in my office a long time ago!
When I am tired from work, I will just listen to Brother Sheng singing. Life should not be too happy. "

Amanda was immediately moved when she heard this:
"I want one too."

The vice president carefully reminded:
"Your office does not cause noise disturbance..."

“How can we do it without noise reduction?”

Amanda frowned immediately:
“Even if no equipment is installed, noise reduction must be done to the best possible extent.”

Noise reduction is important!
Du Sheng comes to visit the company occasionally, so the office needs to be "multi-functional".

Let alone sparring and dancing, even doing anything else requires quietness.

The vice president nodded quickly:

"Arrange immediately."

Amanda gave a few more instructions, then turned to Lydia and said:

"A press release will be arranged tomorrow. The song 'Move Like Jagger' must be promoted!"

Lydia curled her lips and smiled:
"Sister, you are already one step behind.

Yi Xin has pinned the MV of this song on the Lianzhong platform, and the discussion has become extremely heated.”

Amanda was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

“The most beautiful things are often the last to appear.

Our coverage can be more comprehensive and in-depth!"

Lydia nodded in agreement:
“In fact, even if we didn’t make any special arrangements, our media outlets have already written a lot of relevant articles.

After all, Wanted is a global hit, and everyone is eagerly awaiting Du Sheng's new album. "Due to the amazing sales of his first English album Destiny, and the fact that this song is one of the interludes of Wanted, the popularity of the movie is still growing...

Therefore, Du Sheng's second English album has attracted widespread attention before it was released.

In this context, the song "Move Like Jagger" has huge traffic, making the publicity and promotion work much easier.

Sony's marketing team was able to achieve double the effect at a fraction of the cost.

On the day the song was released, "Move Like Jagger" landed directly on the Billboard Singles Chart at No. 88 in the United States.

Major radio stations also began to play the song frequently.

Just two days later, it reached the top five of the Billboard singles chart.

It became one of the fastest-growing songs in history.

In Europe, Move Like Jagger also performed strongly.

It has topped the singles charts in 9 countries.

Some fans even edited this song together with Olympic promotional footage and uploaded it to the Lianzhong platform.

This video received preferential treatment from the administrator and had a very high click-through rate, which further increased the popularity of "Move Like Jagger".

Asia is also good.

Especially in neon, "Move Like Jagger" is unstoppable.

Objectively speaking, although the lyrics of this song are a bit childish, its passionate melody is very much in line with the tastes of Japanese listeners.

In addition, Du Sheng is extremely popular in Japan, so this song quickly topped the Japan charts once it was released, and began to be played in supermarkets, squares and other places.

With the popularity of "Move Like Jagger", the content about the Olympics in the MV has also sparked widespread discussion:
"Du Jun's songs are always so powerful. After listening to them, my blood boils. I really want to become a pervert right now!"

"Even though I'm mediocre, this song makes me feel like a king. It's awesome!"

“‘Move Like Jagger’ is actually one of the Olympic promotional songs? I am now looking forward to the Olympics!”

"The Great Wall, Badaling, and Tiananmen Square in the MV are so beautiful. I really want to go and see them."

"As a Japanese, I really envy China for having such an outstanding singer as Du Sheng.

He also did so much free publicity for the Olympics, unlike here where all they care about is money.”

“Once again, Du Sheng is an international superstar in our country of Kimchi!
The noble bloodline of the Korean nation flows in his blood!"

"..."

When Sony Music saw the amazing performance of Du Sheng’s first single on the chart, it was as if it were seeing the miraculous sales of its previous album "Destiny" happen again.

So they stepped up their publicity efforts without hesitation.

All kinds of means are used together, vowing to push this title song to new heights.

In addition, Hearst Group manages television and print media, while the Lianzhong platform and TVING video dominate the Internet. Du Sheng's song promotion is like a fish in water.

Although there were some minor setbacks, the results were very good.

Speaking of which, the Olympic Committee originally planned to spend a lot of money to promote the Olympics.
It turned out that many foreign media that we couldn't invite before even with money were now taking the initiative to promote this song.

It seems like the official has taken advantage of Du Sheng’s express train and won without any effort!
Thanks to this cooperation, the Olympic Committee truly realized the extent of his international influence.

Since it is already so popular abroad, China cannot lag behind.

As a result, the government invested a lot of resources and connections into the domestic market.

Du Sheng's other Olympic promotional song "We Are Ready", which is available in both Chinese and English, also took off in this state.

This song can be heard everywhere, whether on TV, radio, large shopping malls, campus radio or the Internet.

It was overwhelming and the scene was grand.

On the TVING platform, "Move Like Jagger" exceeded 10 million views within one day of being uploaded, and the number is still rising.

Someone also compiled the song's popularity overseas.

Including word-of-mouth, rankings on charts and reports from media around the world, the video was made and posted on the TVING platform, which also received great attention.

Domestic audiences are also very interested in these contents:
"In just four days, 'Move Like Jagger' has topped the singles charts in 13 countries and regions. Brother Sheng is really amazing!"

"That's right, and this song also promotes the Olympics. I have to say it was a wise move for the authorities to choose Du Sheng."

"Sony President Jinger Schmidt said in an interview that every song in Du Sheng's new album is as good as "Move Like Jagger".
I heard there are Chinese songs in it, which is really exciting! ”

“The song “We Are Ready” is indeed nice, but you have to be careful when running.”

"why?"

"Because it's easy to lose yourself when you're too active, and it's easy to tear your balls when you're running!"

……

As the new album began to be released, Du Sheng once again occupied the mainstream attention as a singer.

However, within a few days, two pieces of news once again made everyone realize that Du Sheng's main occupation is still an actor.

First, Wanted released global box office data:
2.83 billion dollars!
At this rate, it will definitely break the record of "The Departed" and reach more than 3.5 million US dollars.

This is an achievement that many Hollywood A-list stars dream of.

Secondly, Warner + Marvel Pictures has invested more than 1.5 million US dollars in the big-budget movie "Inception", and is interested in inviting Du Sheng to play the leading role.

The offered salary was as high as 1300 million US dollars!
A Chinese boy has officially entered the club of movie pay worth tens of millions!
Become one of the most successful foreign actors in Hollywood.

After all, in this world of fame and fortune, even top stars like Tom Cruise and Leonardo Dicaprio only make 2 million U.S. dollars.

And here, there are probably various factors that need to be discounted.

This shows how popular Du Sheng is in North America now!

Of course, the movie "Inception" itself was based on the script provided by Du Sheng.

Miracle Pictures invested another 5 million US dollars, and when Du Sheng's salary is taken into account, it is a - split with Warner Bros.

Despite this, the $1.5 million production shows how much both parties value and are optimistic about Du Sheng playing the leading role.

Hearst's newspapers gave high praise in their reports:

"Du Sheng is an all-round player in the fields of art and business. He can switch between roles freely and with ease!"

In contrast, the BBC report was more direct:

"Three world boxing championship belts, four best actor awards, singles topping charts in 12 countries, net worth over a billion dollars... What else can stop him from reaching the top!?"

The French newspaper Le Journal used typical French humor to describe it:
"Du Sheng's abilities are as numerous as his lovers, and each of his identities is fascinating!"

Compared to the relatively restrained comments in major media, the discussions among fans on the Internet are more lively and interesting:

“I’ve been completely immersed in Move Like Jagger these past few days, and I’m looking forward to Du’s new album, but someone reminded me that Du’s songwriting is just a side job.

Oh my God! Someone please remind Du to concentrate on music and not waste his talent! "

"I checked and found out that he is the screenwriter of Gossip Girl and Breaking Bad."

"Hey! Du can also mix drinks. The video of him mixing drinks for Leonardo in the bar is incredible. His skills are first-rate.

Plus, he races cars professionally!

Rumor has it that Samsung Princess Lee Yi-shin fell in love with him because of this.

So, mortals who want to marry a beautiful woman, come and learn how to drive from me!"

"I think we should have the research institute dissect Du. This guy is simply superhuman!"

Foreign audiences focused mainly on Du Sheng's versatility and outstanding achievements, and they all gave him a thumbs up.

In China, the focus of the public is more on two major events: "Wanted" and the Cannes Film Festival.

For example, under the news on Renren.com, most of the comments are like this:

"Wanted is a special effects action film, which goes against the artistic style advocated by the West. How can someone win the Best Actor award for this?

I have to say, Du Sheng is really awesome, he has made a name for himself as a representative of the yellow race!"
