Extracting skills from movies

Du Sheng followed Christopher and walked over.

"This is Professor Kalsa, a physics expert from the University of Toronto."

Christopher introduced as he walked.

Although Du Sheng's grades were average when he was studying, he always respected people with knowledge and extended his hand with a smile.

Karsa pushed up her glasses and responded enthusiastically:
"Hello, Mr. Du.

My daughter is a big fan of yours, can you get me an autographed photo of you?"

Du Sheng laughed and nodded:

"I must help the child's mother fulfill her wish."

"Thank you!"

Kalsa nodded happily in thanks.

She then turned to look at the huge centrifuge and said seriously:

“This kind of equipment is so rare, don’t dismantle it after filming and sell it as scrap metal.

Director, can you please let me disassemble it and ship it back to Toronto?"

Christopher raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said half-jokingly:

"Then you have to pay a 'processing fee'."

When Karsa heard this, she immediately took out her cell phone:

"I'll call my boss right now, they'll definitely be willing to pay for it!"

While she was on the phone, Du Sheng whispered:
“This professor really does his best.”

Christopher shrugged.

“Scientific research funding is tight right now, and many professors are worried about having no projects to work on.

If our crew hadn’t paid her enough, we really wouldn’t have been able to hire her.”

.........

After checking out the venue, start the foreplay.

The seaside studio next to it is so exquisite that it looks like a seaside holiday home.

Du Sheng stood in the corner, holding a rope in his hand and leaning on a wooden chair, waiting for Christopher to speak.

Christopher paced back and forth in the room, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about some key shot.

Jessica, who was wearing a deep V evening gown, watched him walking back and forth, and finally couldn't help but sit on the chair:
"Director, we have been waiting for your decision for quite some time."

Du Sheng couldn't help but ask:
"To tie it up or not to tie it up?"

Christopher stopped and thought for a moment before saying:
“Shoot both situations and see which one works better.”

That’s what the shooting scene was like.

New ideas pop up in the director's mind all the time, but in the end less than one-fifth of the shots may be used.

Christopher returned to the monitor and gave an order:
"Ation!"

Du Sheng and Jessica entered the room and moved the chairs to the center.

"sit down."

Du Sheng spoke calmly.

Jessica looked puzzled, and after sitting down, she asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Du Sheng took the rope and wrapped it around the chair legs, tying a knot:

"I'm going to go out for some fresh air. You stay here quietly and don't move."

After saying that, he grabbed the rope, climbed out of the window and jumped out.

"Crack!"

Christopher shouted:
"This one's passed, next we'll shoot the bundled version."

Du Sheng came back from outside and untied the rope.

At this time, Christopher's new assistant came over with a notebook and said helplessly:

"Director, there's nothing worth writing about..."

Christopher chuckled:
"Don't worry, with Du Sheng here, good things will happen."

The crew re-set the scene.

Before the shoot, Du Sheng greeted Jessica as usual:

"My movements might be a little rough for a while, so be careful."

Jessica rolled her eyes at him:
"You can't be any rougher than what you did last night."

Others: “…”

The script supervisor said "start", Du Sheng pushed open the door, walked in with Jessica, and moved a chair for her to sit down.

He shook the rope in his hand and tied her to the chair skillfully.

He had practiced for a while before, and his technique was neat and neat, and he wrapped the rope just right, making Jessica, who already had a hot body, look even more sexy and charming.

After tying him up, Du Sheng tied a knot on the leg of the chair, then exchanged a few words with him and jumped out of the window.

"OK, this one is passed!"

Christopher nodded in satisfaction.

He ignored Du Sheng who was untying Jessica's rope and waved to his assistant:
“Please remember this.

Du Sheng learned rope art specifically for this scene, and now he is a professional rope art master who can tie up women to 'highlight their beauty'!"

The assistant quickly wrote it down.

Du Sheng untied the rope and asked Jessica:
"How is it? Does it hurt?"

Jessica moved her wrist and smiled ambiguously:

"It's quite professional and artistic. I must 'try it' tonight."

Du Sheng also laughed:
"I'm sure you can't win in a one-on-one duel. I guess we'll have to call in Blake."

The two joked and walked out of the set together.

The last scene of the Chinese palace is the collapse of the entire building.

This means that the entire real scene will be destroyed.

Once a scene is stuck, if you want to start over you have to rebuild the set, which is extremely costly.

It’s okay for stunt actors since they don’t show their faces much anyway.

But as the male lead, every shot of Du Sheng must be precise.

Christopher deliberately let him rest for ten minutes to adjust his state and prepare for this difficult shooting.

.........

Du Sheng sat on a chair in the rest area, closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and thought of nothing.

Ma Yaowei noticed that Scarlett and Blake were rehearsing their lines, and walked over and said:

"How about I give you a massage? Relax."

Du Sheng glanced at the rough guy and said:

"Forget it. There are paparazzi everywhere here. If I'm photographed jumping into the Yellow River, I won't be able to clear myself of the charges."

Ma Yaowei was stunned, then raised his eyebrows:

"Then I'll find you a girl?
The crew recruited a lot of local workers, and there were a few pretty girls there.”

There are so many quirks in the Hollywood circle, such as copper smelting and homosexuality, that it is indeed easy to cause misunderstandings.

Not to mention that some media only know how to start with a picture and make up all the content.

Du Sheng showed some interest:
"You're so beautiful, but you still want to be an extra or a handyman?"

Ma Yaowei shrugged:

“Most of them come from ordinary local families.

I heard that the salary here is in US dollars, which is considered a high income in Toronto."

Du Sheng nodded and understood a little bit.

In order to obtain Canada's high film and television tax rebate policy, the crew must employ a certain proportion of local people.
Including positions such as extras, stagehands, and prop assistants.

"Mexican or Latino?"

he asked casually.

Ma Yaowei answered simply:
“As long as there is a need, there is everything.”

Seeing that Du Sheng didn't quite understand, he explained:
“There are actually quite a few Mozambican and Jewish families in Toronto.

Especially the latter, not every Jew is rich. ”

Du Sheng smiled after hearing this:
"It seems like you can't sit still lately. Be careful. Playing too much can lead to infection."

Ma Yaowei rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger:
"Compared to you, I'm just a white lotus!" The two chatted for a while and the atmosphere became relaxed.

After resting for a while, Du Sheng asked the makeup artist to touch up her makeup in preparation for filming the last big scene of the day.

The palace collapsed.

Following the director's command, the entire real scene began to explode and collapse, with smoke and dust rising in an extremely shocking scene.

Du Sheng quickly shuttled in front of the camera, avoiding various fragments of the "collapsed house".

The movements were clean and neat, yet looked fraught with danger.

After shooting dozens of shots, this Chinese-style palace, which took countless manpower and resources to build, has been completely changed.

The last scene is a flood special effect.

As Du Sheng was running dangerously, Zhang Haolong opened the sluice gates and tens of thousands of gallons of water poured down in an instant.

Houses collapsed and floods filled the sky!
The whole picture is very visually impactful.

"Crack!"

Christopher shouted.

Before Zhang Haolong could rush over, several staff members had already surrounded him with blankets, fearing that the male protagonist would catch a cold.

Du Sheng wrapped himself in a blanket, his hair dripping with water. He wiped his hair as he walked towards the RV, preparing to change clothes and take a shower.

As soon as I came out, I saw Ma Yaowei waiting at the door.

"Hades just called and said Sony invited you to participate in this year's Halloween event."

Ma Yaowei said:
"There will be a movie role-playing event and competitions, which is considered a major festival in North America and will indirectly help promote popularity."

When Du Sheng heard this, he thought of what Sony CEO had mentioned before:

"It will probably take more than two months to shoot this film, so we'll talk about it when we have time."

Ma Yaowei smiled:

"That's true, but this activity has many advantages. You can also bring a female companion."

Du Sheng was thinking about bringing Blake along when the time came, and the phone beside him started to ring.

It was Elizabeth Olsen calling.

"Brother Sheng, our school is going to hold a Halloween event next month. Are you free to come and watch?"

Elizabeth's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

Du Sheng could tell she sounded a little nervous, and it obviously took her a long time to make this call. He smiled and said:

"Okay, but I guess I'll be attending Sony's Halloween event, so why not just join us?"

Elizabeth's eyes lit up:
"Oh? You're going to take me with you? That's great!"

Du Sheng corrected with a smile:

"It's still early, probably more than a month."

Elizabeth was immediately excited when she heard this:

“Then I will definitely participate!”

Du Sheng was also happy:
"Okay, I'll have someone book the plane tickets and hotel later."

Elizabeth jumped for joy on the other end of the phone:

"It's settled then. I'll wait for you to pick me up!"

After hanging up the phone, Du Sheng looked at the "ruins" still smoking in the distance, and a smile appeared on his lips.

That afternoon, Du Sheng was not filming and had a rare moment of leisure.

But he didn't have time to rest, as Cartier came to him to discuss contract renewal.

The other party offered a very sincere price, US$360 million a year, to continue endorsing the men's watch series.

What does this price mean?
Leonardo Dicaprio, as the global spokesperson for TAG Heuer, only earns around $400 million a year.

Cartier is so concerned about this, so Du Sheng certainly wouldn't refuse the free money offer.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the signing ceremony was held in a five-star hotel, with many media and guests attending.

Du Sheng, dressed in a neat suit, walked onto the stage and took off the watch he was wearing in front of everyone.

He put on a new Cartier watch, and his movements were both elegant and ceremonial.

Then he signed his name to the endorsement deal.

There was immediate applause from the audience and flashes of light were clicking non-stop.

Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, suddenly seven or eight exaggeratedly dressed blonde girls rushed out from the viewing seats, their faces painted like church angels, shouting:

"Du! We love you!!"

Du Sheng stood on the stage in a daze for a moment, then smiled and waved at them.

As a result, the girls became even more excited. They all lifted up their shirts, revealing a large area of ​​white skin with a few lines of big words written in red lipstick:

"I love Du Sheng!", "I will always support you!"

The scene immediately went into chaos and the security guards rushed over to maintain order.

Du Sheng looked at this scene calmly, and even said:
"Don't make it hard on them."

After hearing this, several girls became even more excited and started shouting again:
"Du! Du!"

The situation was a little out of control for a while, but Du Sheng had made his appearance and signed his names, so he didn't stay any longer to avoid making the scene even crazier.

Ma Yaowei rushed over to deal with the aftermath and negotiated with the security personnel.
Finally, these girls were asked to leave the hall.

The leader, a girl named Kalia, was so excited when she saw Ma Yaowei:

"You are the bodyguard beside Du Sheng, right?
I saw your video in 'School Shootings'.

So cool! It’s just like a movie! "

Ma Yaowei has dealt with many such situations before, and said calmly:

"Many people died and were injured that day. Reality is not a movie."

Kalia was stunned for a moment, but she continued to say:

"Can Du Sheng please sign an autograph for us?"

She pointed to her chest:

“Just sign here, I’ll get it tattooed right away when I get back!”

Ma Yaowei smiled and waved his hand:
"Sorry, he has to rush back to film today, so he probably doesn't have time."

Kalia still didn't give up:

“Did you move out of Glendo Apartments?

We waited there several times, but we never saw you."

Glendo Apartments is one of the crew's residences.

Another girl rushed to say:
"We waited for you to throw away the waste. We went there many times but never saw you do it once!"

Ma Yaowei's scalp tingled when he heard this.

I thought this wasn't just a fan; it was a stalker.

He waved his hands and evaded the question:

"We have changed the filming location. Sorry, I have something else to do. I have to leave first."

After saying this, he winked at the security guard next to him and slipped away in the chaos.

This signing conference was originally a high-end business event arranged by the brand, but was turned into an idol drama and variety show by this group of crazy fans.

But for Du Sheng, he has long been accustomed to this "sweet trouble".

As the group of girls were asked to leave, order was finally restored at the scene.

Several girls walked out, whispering to each other.

Mara frowned and asked:
"Now that Du Sheng has moved, what should we do next?"

The quick-talker immediately responded:
"Without the waste, we can't find the things he used, and without active sperm, we can't get pregnant, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the sisters were suddenly filled with worry.

They all hung their heads, as if the sky had fallen.

Kalia suddenly turned her head and saw a huge poster of Du Sheng hanging there.

She suddenly had an idea and said:

"What do you think Wesley, the protagonist of Wanted, would do if he encountered this situation?"

Mara thought about it and said seriously:
"We must achieve our goal at all costs."

Kalia nodded, asked everyone to form a circle, and said firmly:

"As long as we persevere, we will succeed one day!"

Once European and American female fans go crazy, reason and emotion are no longer necessary.
