Extracting skills from movies

When Song Chen heard this, her beautiful eyes flickered.

Mr. Du?!

The international guy who is not only rich and famous, but also has won Oscars and Cannes Best Actor awards? !

She had long heard that Du Sheng was the most capable and powerful boss in the circle.

Not only did he win awards for his acting, he also led the entire Star Media to rapid success and made a large number of actors famous.

What’s even more rare is that he is not just doing this for fun, he really takes his acting career as a serious job.

She has watched many of his works privately, and his acting skills are indeed solid. Even foreign film critics have praised him highly.

To put it bluntly, Du Sheng is one of her idols.

Song Chen couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Li, how did you get to know Mr. Du?"

Although she occasionally saw Du Sheng at company events or annual meetings, she didn't have many opportunities to talk.

Zhang Li was in a good mood today and said a few more words:

“A friend recommended it to me.”

In fact, it was not an introduction by a friend. It was simply because Zhang Li's company's capital chain was running out and he owed a lot of debts. He was looking for someone to take over but no one dared to touch him.

Finally, Fan Bingbing sent a message saying that Du Sheng was interested in chatting.

When Zhang Li heard this, he was so happy that he wanted to give the crew a day off.

As long as I can get in touch with Du Sheng, let alone this small debt, turning the situation around won’t be a problem!
……

At the door of the box, Zhang Li and Song Chen were standing there, waiting for Du Sheng to arrive very attentively.

Song Chen was still working late into the night filming on the set last night, and today he had to catch a plane, change clothes, and stand here waiting for half an hour. He was almost exhausted.

Her legs were already shaking and her eyelids were twitching. She asked cautiously:

"Brother Li, can I go wash my face?"

Zhang Li frowned and said in an unhappy tone:

"In such a critical situation, can you please be more careful?"

Song Chen looks cold and aloof but has a soft temper. He remained silent upon hearing this.

Just then, the elevator door opened.

Du Sheng and Fan Bingbing walked out side by side, followed by their secretary Cui Yayi.

Zhang Li saw it and immediately put on a smile and walked over quickly:

"Oh, Mr. Du, you are finally here!

It is our honor to invite you to dinner today!"

Du Sheng felt a little emotional when he saw the middle-aged man in front of him who was twice his age and had an unremarkable appearance.

Even with this, he was able to PUA Song Chen for several years and almost wasted his best years.

He nodded casually and walked forward.

Zhang Li followed closely behind, but when he turned around, he found that Song Chen was still standing there without moving. His face suddenly darkened:
What's going on with this girl?

No eyesight at all!
In fact, Song Chen didn't want to move, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't move.

With a height of 173cm and wearing high heels, my balance was a little unstable and I almost fell down just now.

Just as she was about to lean against the wall to relax, she saw Du Sheng walking towards her. She quickly let go of her hand and bowed reluctantly:

"Hello, Mr. Du!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his legs went weak and he was about to fall to the ground.

Just when she thought she was going to fall flat on her face, a strong arm held her firmly.

She looked up and saw it was Du Sheng.

He was looking down at her, his eyes were gentle, and there was a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Be careful, don't fall."

Song Chen's cheeks flushed slightly, he stood up in a panic, and said weakly:
"Thank you, Mr. Du... I'm sorry, my legs seem to be a little out of control."

Du Sheng smiled:
"Too tired lately?"

This woman was known as the goddess of national beauty in her previous life, and she did have some good qualities.

She has a standard oval face, artistic yet cute, and round eyes, which make her look cool and aloof overall, with an innate freshness.

In addition, she has been learning Liuqin since she was a child, which adds a bit of classical charm to her temperament.

Song Chen nodded, his eyes showing fatigue but also a hint of surprise.

It turns out that the legendary Boss Du is such a gentle person.

When Zhang Li saw Song Chen almost fall, he rushed forward and glared at her while apologetically smiling at Du Sheng:

"Oh, Mr. Du, I'm sorry!

This girl is so careless, I am sorry to cause you trouble..."

Du Sheng ignored him, turned to look at Song Chen, and asked in a gentle tone:
"You're not in a good mental state? I'll help you in."

As he spoke, he gently held her arm and steadily helped her walk into the box.

When he helped her to sit down, Song Chen was still a little out of breath, his face was red, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"Thank you, Mr. Du... I'm so sorry."

Zhang Li also apologized repeatedly:
"Boss Du, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect this to happen..."

Du Sheng waved his hand to interrupt these meaningless words.

Fan Bingbing sat aside and tried to smooth things over with a smile:
"Ah Sheng, this restaurant has some very special dishes, you must try them later."

Zhang Li also noticed it.

Boss Du doesn't like to talk too much.

After Fan Bingbing ordered the dishes, he waved to the waiter to leave, then looked at Zhang Li and said:

"Director Zhang, we all know that you want to get rid of your debts now, and we happen to have some interest here.

Why don't you first tell me about the situation of the 'Tianyuan Apartment' in your hands?"

When Zhang Li heard this, he immediately became alert.

He cleared his throat and began to talk incessantly, from the project background to the market prospects, speaking in an exaggerated manner, as if he was about to make a comeback.

After he finished speaking, Du Sheng continued to smile and drink his tea without saying a word.

Cui Yayi took out a document from her bag and said calmly:

"Director Zhang, I also learned about the situation in advance.

To be honest, Tianyuan Apartment is now less than one tenth of its former size, but its debt is as high as over 30 million.

Half of it is a bank loan that must be repaid this year.

As for you, you mortgaged your house to pay off your debts, and...

There have been several debt collection agencies looking for you recently, right?"

As Zhang Li listened to these words, sweat broke out on his forehead and his throat became dry. He could only swallow his saliva with gritted teeth.

Cui Yayi paused and changed her tone:
“Although this project is terrible, we are still willing to take it over.

As for the price, it depends on how sincere you are."

Zhang Li's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Ms. Cui, please continue!"

Cui Yayi nodded and suddenly turned her gaze to Song Chen:

"Sister, the company has always admired you. Are you interested in working on the big screen?"

Song Chen was stunned:
"Huh? What?"

Zhang Li reacted quickly and said:
"With such a great opportunity coming, how could I not be willing!"

After saying this, he quickly winked at Song Chen, meaning:

Be obedient and don't sabotage.

Song Chen had no idea what was going on, but he nodded in the end:
"I...I do."

In fact, she had no idea at all, this good thing came too suddenly.

But she knew that if she annoyed Du Sheng, it might drag down Zhang Li.

"very good."

Cui Yayi smiled with satisfaction, and then added:
“There is one more small condition, which should not be difficult for Director Zhang.

As long as you are sincere, we can give you a satisfactory price. "

Zhang Li and Song Chen looked at her at the same time.

Cui Yayi said with a smile:
“We at Star Media are preparing a new film next and we hope to have a clean cast with a stable cast.

Judging from her condition today, she is obviously affected by external emotional factors, and it would be best if she could recover. Director Zhang, what do you think? "

Song Chen was a little stunned. Is it necessary to not be affected by external emotions while filming?

But she didn't hear the subtext.

Zhang Li's expression changed, but he did not refuse immediately. Instead, he pondered for a few seconds.

Cui Yayi was not in a hurry either, she just looked at him with a smile.

"How about a fake breakup?"

Zhang Li asked tentatively.

"What do you think?"

Cui Yayi asked back.

"Break up? No way!"

Song Chen finally reacted and reached out to pull Zhang Li to go with him:

"Brother Li, I don't want this..."

But Zhang Li sat still, looked at her with complicated eyes, and then slowly spoke:
"Ms. Cui, how much can you give?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Song Chen's heart.

She froze completely and her face turned pale instantly.

Cui Yayi smiled and said:
“It could be anywhere from a few million to tens of millions.

We will also deal with the debt.

The specific amount to be given depends on how determined Director Zhang is.”

Song Chen opened his mouth, but perhaps because he was too shocked, he couldn't say anything for a while.

Zhang Li sighed and whispered:

"Xiaoxiao, let's...break up."

"Brother Li!!"

Song Chen finally broke down, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably:

"You said we would get through this together!
No matter how hard it is, I will be with you! How could you...how could you do this to me? ! "

Once you are in love and get used to PUA, it is highly likely that your emotional intelligence and EQ will decline.

But reality pushed her into the abyss.

Zhang Li had already chosen to betray in the face of interests.

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted:
"Hand in hand to carry it through? You think it's easy!
The economy is so bad now, especially this year, the world is experiencing a financial crisis, the property market has long been cold, who would dare to buy a house?

I'm in debt, the bank is demanding my money back, and I have a son to support!
How much can you repay with the little money you earn from filming? How many days can you carry the burden for me? "

As Du Sheng listened to these words, memories of his past life emerged in his mind.

That’s right, Zhang Li relied on the money that Song Chen earned from filming to survive until the day when the real estate market recovered.

When the assets started to appreciate again, he immediately dumped the person without even saying thank you.

"Brother Li...you said you would marry me...and we agreed to have a child together..."

Song Chen choked with sobs, with a last glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Her dream has always been a stable home and someone who is willing to hold her hand for the rest of her life.

Zhang Li sneered and shook his head:

"I was just trying to cheer you up, did you take it seriously?

You are such a beautiful star, which man wouldn’t like you?
But my son is already a teenager, who can I have another child with?"

Song Chen felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him, and tears kept falling.

She still didn't give up, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhang Li's clothes, begging in a low voice:
"Brother Li, you are not telling the truth, right?"

Zhang Li shook her hand away and said viciously:

"Are you sick?
To tell you the truth, I hate street performers the most. If you couldn't make money, how could I care about you! "

Song Chen was pushed to the ground, tears streaming down his face, curled up on the ground like a wounded animal.

Du Sheng suddenly put down his chopsticks and said:

"Director Zhang, you can be harsh in your words, but you still have to be gentle with women."

When Zhang Li heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face:
"Mr. Du is right. I was a little too anxious."

He vaguely guessed that Du Sheng might be interested in Song Chen, or wanted to focus on training her.

But he didn't care about that, because what he said just now was all true.

If you can exchange a woman for life-saving money, then this deal is a great deal!

Du Sheng nodded gently:

"As for the performance, it's barely up to the passing line."

Cui Yayi added:
"The passing score is 3 million."

Zhang Li's eyes lit up and he almost clapped his hands in joy.

3 million?!
So cool!

As long as I can get rid of all the burdens and debts, I can get 3 million for free. Isn't this better than the New Year's red envelope?

But before he could finish being happy, Du Sheng spoke again:
“But I don’t like your last sentence.

What do you mean by 'street performer'? Are you talking about me?"

Zhang Li's expression changed instantly, and he quickly waved his hand to explain:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Mr. Du, I'm not talking about you. How can she be compared with you?
That is your artistic pursuit, it is something elegant!

She is just doing work, it is totally different from her!"

Du Sheng waved his hand:
"Forget it. I didn't want to get involved in this mess, but since you're sensible, I'll just smooth it over."

Cui Yayi then added the finishing blow, her tone gentle but piercing:

"If you smooth it out, you will fall below the passing line.

We are willing to take over your shell company and help you deal with all debts, including those owed under your personal name, so that you can be debt-free.

I wonder if you can accept this condition?"

Zhang Li opened his mouth and his heart skipped a beat.

In one sentence, 3 million was gone?!
He felt that Du Sheng was playing a trick on him, but he didn't dare to get angry.

In this circle, capital is the boss, and it is useless for him to show off his seniority.

Although I was extremely unwilling, I felt relieved when I thought about how I had been overwhelmed by debts in the past few years and now at least I could get out of it.

For a player of Du Sheng's level, with Country Garden backing him up, it would not be surprising if the property market recovers in a few years' time, and his fortunes multiply several times.

And what about him?
You can only grit your teeth and accept the defeat.

"Director Zhang, have you thought about it?"

Cui Yayi continued to ask.

Zhang Li sighed and nodded:
"I agree."

He knew that if he didn't agree, Du Sheng would have plenty of ways to make him even worse.

If his creditors come to collect the debt early, he will be completely finished.

At least now he has a way out, even if the company gives it away for free, he will accept it.

……

Zhang Li left, leaving cleanly and neatly, as if nothing had happened.

But Song Chen was still sitting on the ground, looking a little bit broken with sadness, and Fan Bingbing kept comforting him for a long time without stopping.

Du Sheng waved his hand, signaling Fan Bingbing and Cui Yayi to go out first.

He walked over and gently picked up Song Chen, who was still sobbing.

"Du... Mr. Du, what are you doing?"

Song Chen struggled and cried, his voice intermittent.

Du Sheng didn't say anything, he just put her on the sofa, let her lie down flat, and then lifted up her ankle which was obviously sprained.

"Is this foot sprained?"

“Don’t bother me… wuwuwu… why… why do you treat me like this…”

Her tears fell on the sofa cushions like beads that had broken off the string.

Du Sheng didn't say anything, but just silently rubbed her ankle, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a precious piece of porcelain.
