Extracting skills from movies

Du Sheng is no longer too concerned about the box office and reputation of "The Man from Nowhere".

After all, the movie has been released and the results are there.

He focuses more of his energy on the company's next projects.

Soon, he will join the crew of the new film "Inception", which is one of the most important works this year.

That afternoon, Du Sheng took some time out to visit Miracle Animation to see the progress of the first editing version of How to Train Your Dragon.

This animation project has been in the works for nearly two years since it was launched, and it is finally showing initial results.

After watching the sample film, Du Sheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Boss Xu, your production skills are really good. The overall effect is better than I expected."

This is not just a compliment.

He sincerely felt that this film was more refined than the previous one.

Whether it's the image design of the protagonist, the rhythm of the script, or the action choreography of the fighting scenes, they have all been elevated to a higher level.

It can be seen that Xu Guangyan and the entire team put a lot of effort into "How to Train Your Dragon".

It is really a work that has been carefully polished.

Hearing the compliment, Xu Guangyan smiled from ear to ear.

But before he could be happy for too long, Du Sheng changed the subject:
“But in terms of editing, I feel it’s still a little raw, and some parts are not handled delicately enough.

I have some time these two days, so I plan to edit a version myself. You can check it out and see if there is anything you can refer to. "

Although Xu Guangyan is a leader in the animation industry, film and television editing is not his strong point.

This time, "How to Train Your Dragon" did not hire a professional editor, and the editing work was basically done by them alone.

After hearing Du Sheng's words, he was not angry, but quite happy.

Because he knew that Du Sheng had participated in the editing of films such as "SPL" and "The Man from Lone Star", and the results were amazing, and they received high praise in the industry.

There are not many opportunities like this to learn editing techniques from Du Sheng and make up for your shortcomings.

So he smiled and responded:

"Thank you, Mr. Du, for your guidance. I couldn't ask for more."

In the next two days, Du Sheng spent all his free time in the editing room and personally re-edited "How to Train Your Dragon".

When Xu Guangyan saw the new version, he was a little shocked.

The action scenes are smoother and the plot rhythm is more compact.
Even some of the originally slightly awkward funny scenes were edited just right, making the audience laugh as soon as they saw them.

He had only one thought in his mind: this guy is such a monster, it would be a shame if he didn't become an editor!
Although he also tried to understand Du Sheng's editing techniques, the more he watched, the more he felt that the ideas in his mind were too jumpy and it was totally impossible for ordinary people to imitate.

After the editing is done, the next steps are refinement, plot matching, dubbing, etc.

The Chinese dubbing was done by actors from Star Media, and the English version was screened by Miracle Pictures.

As for the neon version, it was personally selected by Kawa Sakurako.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Du Sheng stretched, stood up, stretched his neck, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, it's time for dinner."

The two had just finished their editing work and were about to go out for something to eat.

As a result, when I opened the door, I saw a familiar yet long-missed figure standing at the door.

"Woo woo woo! Brother Sheng, I finally waited for you..."

Before the two could react,
The beautiful figure had already thrown herself into Du Sheng's arms, crying and holding him tightly.

This girl is only 16 years old this year. Her face is watery and her skin is so tender that it seems to be dripping with water.

Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, it couldn't hide her youthful aura.

Especially that exotic style that is different from Tong Liya, which makes people unforgettable at first sight!
That’s right, this little girl is Nazha.

Her acquaintance with Du Sheng began during the Olympic Games rehearsal.

At the beginning of the year, she participated in the Xinjiang Snow Lotus Cup "Second National Flower Selection" and won the title of Uyghur Flower. She then represented her hometown in the "Harmonious China" segment of the Olympic Countdown Gala.

At that time, Du Sheng was busy planning for the Olympic Games in Beijing. He recognized this pretty and eye-catching little girl at a glance and signed her into the reserve team of Star Media.

Since then, the two have become familiar with each other.

"Why are you so wronged?"

Du Sheng gently hugged her, patted her back with one hand, and asked in a gentle tone:
"Who bullied you? I'll help you deal with him."

"No, no one bullies me..."

Nazha sobbed and said:

"It's my dad... He's very ill, I don't know what to do..."

Du Sheng's heart sank when he heard this, and some memories flashed through his mind.

It seems that this girl's father died of heart problems in recent years.

She had just graduated from technical secondary school not long ago, and now she came all the way from her hometown to find me, crying like this. It must be because of this incident.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Du Sheng whispered to comfort:

"We'll handle anything together, don't worry."

"Brother Sheng... I really don't know how to face it..."

Naza leaned in his arms, tears streaming down her face.

But she also relaxed completely, as if she had found someone to rely on.

Girls are like this. They will show their vulnerability without reservation in front of the person/idol they trust the most and like the most.

There were people coming and going in front of the company, and many people saw Du Sheng holding a little girl in his arms and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Get in the car first."

Du Sheng said softly.

"Uh-huh……"

Nazha nodded, wiped her tears, followed Du Sheng into the nanny car, and sat next to him.

The environment in the car was quiet and comfortable, and her mood eased a little. She whispered:
"Brother Sheng, my dad suddenly fainted a while ago. He was sent to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with myocardial infarction."

Hearing this word, Du Sheng showed a look of understanding.

Xu Guangyan in the front row interrupted:
"I know a little about this disease. My cousin from my hometown also has this disease."

Wang Yaoyang, who was driving, couldn't help but ask:
"Can this disease be cured now?"

Xu Guangyan paused and did not answer immediately.

He knew that this disease could not be solved by simple treatment and was a "time bomb" that could explode at any time.

National first-class actors Gao Xiumin, Gu Yue and others also died of heart problems.

This disease does not discriminate against people, nor does it depend on how hard you work; it can come at any time.

This is true for wealthy people like Ericsson CEO Tom Kellner and Hyundai Group founder Chung Ju-yung.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Du Sheng held Nazha's hand tightly and said:

"It's okay. The doctor should have said that she can handle it."

Naza also nodded, with anticipation in her eyes.

Xu Guangyan then continued:

"This disease cannot be cured. It can only be maintained through recuperation."

"So... your fate is no longer in your control?"

Wang Yaoyang continued to finish off the opponent.

"Woooooooo..."

When Nazha heard this, tears started to flow again.

Xu Guangyan had an expression that asked, "Am I redundant?" and he just stood there in a daze.

Du Sheng waved his hand, pulled the curtains in the car, and then gently held Nazha on his lap.

"don’t worry."

He whispered coaxingly:

"I'm here, your dad will be fine." He said, patting her back.

The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, slowly calming Nazha's inner panic.

In his previous life, he accidentally saw the news about Nazha’s father’s death on the news.

She was still filming at the time. She rushed home and broke down in tears the moment she saw her father's body, and collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Sheng... I'm afraid my dad will be like what was reported in the news..."

Naza sobbed.

"Will not."

Du Sheng comforted:
"It's early detection now. As long as timely treatment is given, there won't be a big problem. Don't worry."

He also has special treasures such as the Tempering Pill and the Tianqing Jade Dew Pill.
Even if all diseases cannot be cured, it is still possible to keep the patient alive.

"Thank you...Brother Sheng...wuwu..."

Naza nodded, but her tears still fell.

At the age of 16, she has the fresh fragrance unique to young girls. Most people would have been distracted by her pitiful appearance.

But Du Sheng didn't have such thoughts, and it wasn't the time to think about these things.

He held her in his arms like a child, patting her back from time to time.
After a while, Nazha was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Du Sheng ordered a table full of her favorite dishes, including big plate chicken, baked buns, yogurt, and naan.

After Nazha woke up and ate for a while, she finally regained some of her former spirit and whispered to Du Sheng:
"Brother Sheng, am I affecting your work?"

Du Sheng picked up a piece of naan and put it in his mouth, smiling and shaking his head:

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are from our company and we will focus on training you in the future. Don't be polite."

Nazha nodded seriously, but said nothing more. She just lowered her head and ate silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

After dinner, there were fewer people going home from get off work along the way.

Du Sheng bid farewell to Xu Guangyan and others, and brought Nazha to a villa on the outskirts of the city.

This house was bought for Zhang Jingying and Deng Ziqi to live in. They just came back from recording a program in other places recently.

Du Sheng brought Nazha here tonight to let her relax and meet two peers.

Of course, for Zhang Jingying and Deng Ziqi, they had originally fantasized about having some "special arrangements" tonight.
As a result, when I saw Nazha coming, I immediately understood:

'I guess there's no chance of success today.'

"Qiqi, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Jingying muttered softly, feeling somewhat resentful.

"Sister Ying, why don't we play with Naza for a while? We haven't seen her for a long time anyway."

Deng Ziqi was quite curious and said with a roll of her eyes.

Although she regards Du Sheng as her mentor and idol, she is still young and not as crazy as some people.

On the contrary, she wanted to know more about why Du Sheng brought Nazha here.

"Well, that's all it can do."

Deng Ziqi looked her up and down, smiling:

“Even if Brother Sheng stays tonight, you can only watch.

Hehe, it’s quite embarrassing when I think about it.”

Zhang Jingying blushed and reached out to scratch her waist, and they both burst into laughter.

After a few minutes, the business car stopped downstairs of the villa.

Du Sheng took Nazha out of the car and the car drove away.

Zhang Jingying and Deng Ziqi, who were waiting nearby, almost jumped for joy when they saw this, muttering in their hearts:
'The car has left. It looks like Brother Sheng is not leaving tonight!'

"Wow, Naza, long time no see!"

Zhang Jingying was so happy that she thought Nazha was so cute and hugged her.

They met at the company's mid-year party and chatted for a while when they met.

"Naza, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Deng Ziqi also came over and held her hand affectionately.

"Sister Ying, Sister Qi, I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss you too!"

Nazha's eyes lit up and the sadness on her face faded a lot.

"..."

At this time, Zhang Jingying and Deng Ziqi were considered new stars promoted by Miracle Records.

Since "Voice of the East", they have released two EPs, appeared on Mango TV and Yangshi's variety shows, and have two or three representative works...

Its popularity has been rising steadily, and it is already ranked second with a view to becoming the first.

Nazha is still a student and doesn't even have any formal works, so she inevitably feels a little restrained standing next to them.

But she was not panicked.

Because she could see that Du Sheng cared about her a lot.

As long as you follow this international big shot closely, you will get your own chance sooner or later.

After all, after joining Star Media and clinging to Du Sheng's thigh, how could she not become famous?
Du Sheng had just entered the room and sat down when three girls followed him in, chatting animatedly.

Zhang Jingying wore a slim little skirt, which matched her round face, making her look sweet and lovely.

Deng Ziqi wore a tie-dyed top and a white skirt, her skin was white and tender, and she looked like a high school student.
Nazha was wearing a "Kung Fu" casual outfit of jeans and a T-shirt, looking pure and youthful, just like a school beauty.

"Brother Sheng, do you want to eat something? I'll give it to you!"

Zhang Jingying asked while tying her apron.

She knew very well that her achievements today were all thanks to the man in front of her.

So she has always been very well-behaved and considerate in front of Du Sheng.

"under?"

Du Sheng looked at Zhang Jingying strangely, and swept his eyes over her skirt, saying:
"I've eaten, just cook something for Naza."

Zhang Jingying nodded:

"Okay, it will be done soon."

Deng Ziqi, who was standing by, had already rushed over and sat directly next to Du Sheng, saying with a smile:
"Brother Sheng, let's watch TV together!
Recently, Phoenix TV and YangTV have collaborated to produce the TV series “Years of Wind and Cloud” starring Damian Lau, Charmaine Sheh, Ma Guoming, etc. It is very popular and great to watch! ”

She grew up in Hong Kong and made her debut on Phoenix TV, so it’s natural for her to follow its programs.

Naza also nodded:

"It's the big production about the rise of the miracle car. My dad likes to watch that, too."

Zhang Jingying added:
“It’s really well shot.”

Du Sheng smiled and leaned towards the middle of the sofa.

Deng Ziqi and Nazha naturally sat on his left and right.

After turning on the TV, several people watched the show and chatted at the same time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Sheng briefly explained the situation at Nazha's home.

When the two girls heard that their father was seriously ill, they showed distressed expressions.

The slight guard he had against her also dissipated a lot invisibly.

"You two can catch up first. I'll go upstairs and rest for a while."

Seeing Nazha finish her noodles, Du Sheng stood up and said.

"Brother Sheng, I'll take you upstairs!"

Deng Ziqi jumped up immediately, looking excited:
"The room is a bit messy, I'll tidy it up for you."

Zhang Jingying sat on the sofa without moving, her legs tense. She felt a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.

After all, she and Deng Ziqi are now in an "alliance" relationship.
