Extracting skills from movies

Chapter 735 sold out!

Facing heated discussions on the Internet, Du Sheng himself seemed quite calm.

He just releases news about new movies or new songs as planned, and then updates his status online, and does not respond to other things too much.

Over the next few days, he traveled non-stop across North America.

While promoting "Wanted", he is also promoting his new album "Endless Joy".

On May 5, while the popularity was still there, Du Sheng’s new album’s second title song "Party Rock Anthem" was released and quickly began to chart.

This song has a dynamic rhythm and is very suitable for parties. Once it was released, it became an instant hit around the world.

In its previous life, this song was certified as a diamond hit even though it was sung by a newcomer, and it topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks, which shows how excellent it is.

Now that it is performed by Du Sheng, its power is incomparable.

In just two days, "Party Rock Anthem" ranked in the top three of the singles charts in various countries and posed a threat to "Move Like Jagger".

The love-hate relationship between the two songs became extremely intense.

Three days later, "Move Like Jagger" regained the top spot on the Billboard singles chart in the Lighthouse Country, followed by "Party Rock Anthem", with the gap between the two getting smaller and smaller.

Five days later, "Party Rock Anthem" surpassed "Move Like Jagger" and topped the Billboard singles chart.

Not long after, "Move Like Jagger" came back to take the lead again.

The two songs competed with each other and sparked widespread discussion and attention.

But no matter what, Du Sheng took the top two spots on the Billboard singles chart, and fans are looking forward to "Endless Joy" more and more.

The album is scheduled to be released worldwide on May 5.

Du Sheng had just finished the promotion of "Wanted Order", so he could focus on promoting his new album.

.........

Sony Music, Los Angeles.

The newly appointed president Williams was in an excited state all morning.

While keeping an eye on Du Sheng's recent popularity data, he called a meeting with the sales department and went over the global distribution process again to ensure that everything was foolproof.

In two days, on May 5, Du Sheng's new album "Endless Joy" will be released in 26 countries and regions around the world.

Judging from the current data, the attention to this album is simply off the charts.

The company also listened to the album in advance, and the entire team gave it a very high evaluation.

It can even be said to be a high-quality work rarely seen in recent years.

Good content coupled with good publicity, plus Du Sheng’s recent frequent appearance in European and American circles.

"Wanted" was a box office hit, he had scandals with a bunch of female stars, and his singles were airborne on Billboard...

The popularity came in waves, breaking out of the circle.

Williams knew it.

It’s hard for this album not to be popular. It might even break some records.

There is no need to say much about Du Sheng's popularity in Asia, he is as stable as an old dog.

Although it is an English album, its sales in the Asian market will definitely not be low.

What really surprised Williams was the high level of 'piety' among Du's disciples in Europe and America!
With the fan base and topic hype, this album is likely to sell like hot cakes.

Thinking of this, Williams's mouth never sagged during lunch, and his whole body seemed to be in a state of relaxation.

He didn't even react when his assistant Kasli barged into the office without knocking.

Casli said:

"The discussion about Du on the Internet was so intense. At first, everyone really admired him.
Later, some people started to make sarcastic comments, saying things like "If he hadn't relied on women to get to the top, he would be worse than a pig."

But just now, Ivanka, Li Yixin, the Hester sisters and others posted their support on TVING, and the trend has begun to turn around again.”

Williams waved his hand and smiled.
“We don’t care about all that, as long as people are willing to pay for the album.

As for whether he is a playboy or has many women, it has little to do with us. "

After all, Sony and Du Sheng are just partners, and what they want is sales and profits.

Unless Du Sheng's image collapses so badly that it affects sales, who cares who he's involved in scandals with?

Kasli nodded in understanding.

She casually placed a freshly published magazine on the table:
"This is the latest issue of Forbes, which features an exclusive interview with Du Sheng. Take a look when you have time."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Williams finished the sandwich in his hand in two or three bites and couldn't wait to open the magazine.

As one of the top four business magazines in the world, Forbes has always been known for its original articles on topics such as finance, industry, investment and marketing.

But every year there are occasionally a few covers and reports about entertainment stars.

For example, last year’s magazine cover featured superstars such as Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna.

However, as far as he knew, there seemed to be only one person with yellow skin in front of him.

The cover design is very eye-catching:
A futuristic five-dimensional mirror, in the middle of which sat Du Sheng, wearing a neat suit and with a calm expression.

Other mirrors show him sweeping the battlefield, playing an elegant role in ancient costume, and singing with a microphone...

The title of this cover is also very domineering: **DU**
The subtitle reads: **Wonderful Life**
Williams stared at it for a few seconds and couldn't help but nodded:

“It’s really eye-catching!”

Especially Du Sheng’s face, coupled with such visual impact, just looking at the cover makes people want to continue flipping through the pages.

Opening the first page, the preface is very interesting:
“Two years ago, we noticed this young man from the East.

He created a storm in Asia and became the undisputed idol king.

And now, he is moving step by step towards a bigger stage and becoming a world-class superstar.

This time, we will use a high-dimensional perspective to get to know a different Du Sheng.

Although he has many identities, most people in North America probably remember him first for his powerful punch in the boxing ring.

Yes, in our initial impression, he was a fighting boxing champion..."

The more Williams looked at Du Sheng, the more he felt that he was like a gem that constantly refracted light.

Every time you change your angle, you can see new wonders.

The title of the second page is very concise, just two words:

"singer".

The magazine begins with Du Sheng’s earliest musical beginnings.

He sang in bars, sang theme songs for TV dramas, and later his first Mandarin album became a hit in the Chinese-speaking world...

He then entered the United States market and his first English single topped the Billboard charts.

The entire text is accompanied by many photos.

There are scenes of him concentrating on tuning the sound in the recording studio, and there are also scenes of him singing passionately on the stage.

The combination of pictures and text not only enriches the content, but also enhances the sense of immersion in reading.

In the following pages, the magazine peels back the layers of Du Sheng's other identities like peeling an onion:
Screenwriter, actor, producer...

Seeing this, Williams couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Could it be that this issue of Forbes received a red envelope?
Why are there so many compliments between the lines?
In fact, there is nothing. Forbes is just presenting the facts objectively, but because the story is so exaggerated, it makes people feel like it is a paid soft article.

The last large section focuses on his least known yet most powerful identity.

——A self-made entrepreneur.

This part is written in great detail, taking up a full three pages.

First, he introduced a series of enterprises he founded in the East:

Kung Fu Pai, Renren, Miracle Records, Star Network Technology...

Each of these names is well-known, and any one of them is a popular project in the industry.

On the other hand, his resume in the Lighthouse Country is even more impressive:
He is one of the co-founders of TVING Video and cashed out $1 million after successfully investing in the social networking site Pinterest;
After that, it spent a large amount of money to acquire the Digital Domain special effects company, and continued to make frequent moves.

Although Williams is a musician and not very familiar with the Eastern technology circle, he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw the reports about investments and returns of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Especially when he found that several Internet products he used were actually related to Du Sheng, he was truly convinced.

The magazine concluded with a simple and rough summary:

By estimating the market value of Du Sheng's companies, we can draw the following conclusions:

His net worth is conservatively estimated to be over 20 billion US dollars!
"At only 24 years old, he has become the youngest face on the world's rich list!"

Seeing this, Williams was a little dazed and his heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

This entire issue of Forbes used eight pages to talk about one person.

Moreover, this person is not a national leader, but a yellow man who just turned 24 years old.

As outrageous as it sounds, he is not jealous.

Because Du Sheng's experience really deserves such treatment.

As a veteran in the industry, Williams has seen too many glamorous figures.

But Du Sheng's story still shocked him, and he even found it a little hard to believe.

About half an hour later, Williams closed the magazine and let out a long breath.

It has to be said that Forbes' operation this time was also very "down-to-earth".

Du Sheng’s success can be attributed to part of his “lighthouse dream”.

The article emphasizes that although Du Sheng is a yellow race, he is deeply influenced by Dengta Zi Chou Ming Zhu.

In particular, the initial capital was earned by speculating in Nakdas.

Therefore, his achievements were also packaged as a representative case of the lighthouse dream.

After reading it, Williams immediately called his assistant, Casley, over:
"Hold an emergency meeting immediately to adjust the promotion strategy!
In addition, the stock of Du Sheng’s new album in the Beacon Country needs to be accelerated!
Transfer another batch over from China and prepare to sell them out!"

Not only him, I guess many people in the lighthouse country were shocked by this Forbes report.

Even some people who know or have heard of Du Sheng only realized how awesome he is after watching this video!

That afternoon, a screenshot of this issue of Forbes was taken by netizens and quickly uploaded to social media platforms.

Countless netizens forwarded the message and “#Du Is Everywhere#” directly topped Google’s trending search list.

[Du Sheng’s net worth exceeds 20 billion US dollars! ]

[The youngest person on the list of richest people in history is actually him? 】

As soon as these topics came out, they immediately caused a stir on the North American Internet.

In the land of the Lighthouse Country, which values money and struggle, people prefer to listen to the story of a person who started from scratch and became a king rather than singing and gossip. Du Sheng's entrepreneurial experience and wealth accumulation are like an inspirational script tailor-made for lighthouse dreamers.

In addition, Forbes also labeled him as "the representative of the lighthouse dream", which really added fuel to the fire.

Online discussions are as hot as a boiling pot:
“I just finished reading this issue of Forbes. It’s really shocking!

From a poor boy to a billionaire in just a few years, this is not a human, it's a god!"

“Du Sheng’s story is truly legendary!

I decided to give it a try and not be a lazy person anymore!"

“I don’t care about money, I just want to say:
He looks so handsome in those pictures in the magazines!

Who can resist such a multi-faceted man?
I want to marry him, even if it's just one of his girlfriends!"

“Those who said he relied on women to get to the top, can you shut up now?
He himself is a diamond man, so it’s hard to say who depends on whom! "

“Do you really think those rich girls are fools?
Obviously Du Sheng has more than just money, he also has something else.”

"I am from the East. In fact, Du Sheng was on the list of the richest people in the East last year. I didn't expect that many people abroad only know about it now..."

“Guys, this issue of Forbes is sold out!
If anyone has any old issues I've read, I'd like to buy a few at a 20% discount! "

"The abacus makes such a loud noise! It's a pity that everyone is collecting it. Maybe they can sell it for ten times the price in the future!"

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy the journal, you can always get an album or CD!

Du Sheng's new album will be officially released in two days.

Just think about it, a billionaire singing to you in person, it's worth the price of admission!"

The last sentence was actually secretly released by Sony's publicity and promotion army.

After reading the Forbes interview, Williams knew that Du Sheng’s popularity would explode and he might even become a national phenomenon.

After all, in the Beacon Country, people love stories like "poor boy's counterattack" the most.

In just a few years, from obscurity to a net worth of billions, isn’t this what they often call the "lighthouse dream"?

Sony took advantage of the situation to adjust its promotional strategy, constantly emphasizing one point in all related topics:
**Don't forget, he is also a singer, and his new album is coming soon! **
Early in the morning of that day, Du Sheng, accompanied by his female companions including Amanda, Lydia, and Li Yixin, drove to the airport.

In the car, he flipped through several newspapers and magazines, only to find out that he had become the focus of the entire Internet again in the past two days.

Amanda was holding the Forbes in her hand and reading it with great interest.

This was the first time she learned about Du Sheng's background in such detail.

After reading it, she looked at him with admiration and couldn't help asking:

"Brother Sheng, is there any exaggeration in what is written here?"

Du Sheng smiled and shook his head:

“It’s basically true, but I don’t think it’s anything special.

Compared with your families who have worked hard in the Lighthouse Country for generations, my wealth is far from being a real influence.

The most important thing now is to proceed step by step and stabilize it thoroughly."

He paused and said jokingly:

"As for the 'lighthouse dream', I think it's quite funny.

I am a native Chinese, and my cultural identity has not changed, but I have been forced to become a beacon. This editor-in-chief is an expert. "

Li Yixin said thoughtfully:
