Extracting skills from movies

Chapter 755 Sisters, it's our turn to step in!
at the same time,

Moscow, Chihuahua.

A remote area near the border of the United States.

A small team had just completed a border crossing operation, paid some money, and successfully passed through the checkpoint into Texas.

The car sped along, familiarly entering a desolate town.

At the entrance of the town's only hotel, a man with a white beard and a cold gaze got out of a car.

He is Daniel, a seasoned veteran who has been in the Mosaic underworld for decades.

He was also the leader in charge of transporting the blood gang's noodles to the lighthouse.

In the hotel room, a smuggler was already waiting.

People who specialize in arranging shady businesses such as human smuggling, fake passports, and airline tickets.

As soon as the smuggler saw Daniel enter, he immediately went to greet him:

"Everything is ready."

Daniel nodded and waved for his men to take the person inside.

The smuggler didn't waste any time; he simply took out several passports and plane tickets from different countries from his bag and placed them on the table.

Daniel picked them up and looked through them, discovering that these tickets were all departing from different cities at different times.

“If you act as a group, you will definitely be watched.”

Explanation of snake head:

"We can only go in batches, just to be on the safe side."

Daniel nodded in satisfaction and gestured for the person behind him to take the money.

Several stacks of cash were quickly piled on the table. After the smuggler collected them, he smiled and said:
"That's all I can do to help. Once you get to the United States, as long as you have money, you won't have trouble buying a gun."

Daniel stared at him and said only one sentence:

"You know the consequences of not keeping your mouth shut."

The snakehead made a gesture, smiled, and withdrew.

Daniel waved his hand, signaling his men to take the passports and tickets away, then sat alone in the corner of the room and pulled out a yellowed photograph.

The photo shows a family portrait.

Besides himself, there was a middle-aged man and a little boy next to him.

Back then, my son longed for the "freedom and dreams" of the United States and insisted on immigrating there to develop his career.

As a result, his grandson died in the Mandela school shooting, and his son also died mysteriously on his way home.

Daniel's lineage has been severed.

Revenge became his sole objective!
Of course, making a quick buck and enjoying a comfortable retirement is also a must.

He pulled another folded poster from another pocket, and you could vaguely make out the figure on it.

It was Du Sheng.

Daniel looked at his group of subordinates and said seriously:
"The next goal is to film in Hong Kong, Morocco, Los Angeles and other places."

He paused for a moment, then continued his analysis:

"Hong Kong is their stronghold, and it's too far away, so this one is a pass."

Morocco is in the Philippines, which makes it convenient to take action, but the other side will only stay for a few days.

So we ultimately chose the Toronto and Los Angeles areas, more details to follow..."

.........

Time flies and it is October.

After nearly two months in theaters in mainland China, "The Man from Nowhere" has finally come to an end.

The final box office figure was 2.66 million RMB.

This achievement propelled it past blockbusters like "Assembly," "The Warlords," and "Wanted," securing its place as the second highest-grossing film of the year.

Ahead of it is the Hollywood behemoth, Transformers.

For now, no one has been able to shake its position.

However, if we include the 1.38 million yuan box office from Hong Kong and Macau, it has basically caught up with or even surpassed the overall performance of "Transformers".

Of course, the remarkable success of "The Man from Nowhere" is also inseparable from the support of national policies.

After all, this is a patriotic film, and also a political achievement project in the eyes of various departments.

The publicity, film scheduling, and resources provided were all excellent.

The screenings in overseas markets are far from over.

It's still showing in Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

As of now, "The Man from Nowhere" has grossed nearly 6 million RMB overseas, bringing its global total to 9.88 million RMB.

It's only a matter of time before it breaks the billion mark (US$1.5 million).

Although it has already been taken off the screens in North America, the important day for its release on DVD is coming soon.

The weather in Times Square, New York, was still a bit muggy in September, but that did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of movie fans.

Thousands of people gathered at the entrance of a large shopping mall.

Today is the day the DVD of "The Man from Nowhere" is released.

Du Sheng took advantage of a break in filming when the crew moved to England to fly back from there to participate in this autograph session.

The streets of Times Square were bustling with activity, with more than twenty street performers dressed as secret agents.

Many people in the queue had already put on makeup, and at a glance, the whole crowd was dressed as "spy agents," creating a scene that was both comical and shocking.

These costumes are merchandise developed by MGM for "The Man from Nowhere," featuring Du Sheng's imposing image.

In addition, since it is manufactured in China, the price is cheap, which has clearly carved out a niche in the clothing market here.

The mall hadn't opened yet, and Du Sheng was sitting in the lounge stretching her wrists to relax before starting her autograph session.

Besides Ma Yaowei, the agent Haders was also in the room.

Haders stared at his phone screen while excitedly pressing the calculator buttons:

"You'll get around $289 million this time."

He became more and more agitated as he spoke:
"If we add the revenue share from Canada and Moscow..."

He stopped speaking before he could finish.

He's not very good at math, and he doesn't quite understand the later calculations.

Upon hearing this, Du Sheng raised an eyebrow:

"What percentage are you calculating this profit sharing based on?"

Haders scratched his head:
"I've long forgotten the little math I learned back then; I can only guess."

He turned to look at Ma Yaowei:

"Hey bro, why don't you lend a hand?"

"The boss has an IQ of 250, so he can easily handle the calculations."

Ma Yaowei quickly waved his hand, saying that asking him to do arithmetic was practically a disaster.

Du Sheng wasn't foolish enough to do the math; he stretched and stood up.
"They're all ready over there, let's go."

A special area was set up at the entrance of the mall for fans to queue.

Two long lines had already formed at the scene, and the place was filled with people dressed as "secret agents".

Not far away, a minibus slowly drove up.

As soon as the car door opened, eight scantily clad girls jumped out. Facing the gazes of countless people, they proudly raised their heads and puffed out their chests.

The leader was a girl named Kalia.

She took off her thin coat, revealing the carefully prepared white wedding dress underneath, and said with a smile:
"Sisters, it's our turn to step in!"

Mara took out a stack of postcards and handed them out to everyone one by one.

Kalia reminded her:

"Remember to hand the postcard to Du Sheng in person, so he will have a chance to contact you."

One girl, worried that the curvaceous Kalia would steal the spotlight, said:
"No matter who wins in the end, everyone will share fairly, right?"

Kalia nodded with a smile:

"Don't worry, with a shared goal, nothing is impossible!"

Everyone shouted in unison:

"action!"

The driver opened the car door, and Kalia led the way out of the car.

Nine beautiful women in white wedding dresses lined up in a row. Led by her, they walked excitedly towards the queuing area.

As they walked, they chanted in unison:

"I love Du Sheng! I love Du Sheng!"

That shout instantly drew everyone's attention, and countless eyes turned to look at him.

Inspired by them, the agents who were originally queuing also joined the cheering team.

Soon, the entire Times Square echoed with a unified sound:
"I love Du Sheng! I love Du Sheng!"

The scene of thousands of people shouting was so spectacular it resembled some kind of performance art.

Du Sheng, who was still backstage listening to all of this, couldn't help but laugh:
"Looks like today's book signing won't be too boring."

Haders put down his calculator and remarked:

"Boss, you're a hit wherever you go!"

Kalia, Mara, and their group of die-hard fans have taken idol worship to a whole new level.

They chased him all the way from Los Angeles to Toronto and New York...

They are not ordinary fans; they are the kind of fanatics who would travel across mountains and states for their idols.

But at this moment, they felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Media reporters had already surrounded them.

After all, if we don't interview people about this kind of scene, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back.

Mara faced the camera, her eyes sparkling, her voice filled with excitement as if she were confessing her love:
My idol is Du Sheng!

I joined the Bajiquan Association and am also a disciple of the Du family!
Wearing a wedding dress to follow a celebrity is crazy?

No, no, no, I'm just reserving my best moment for my idol!

After saying that, she twirled around, showing off her custom-made white wedding dress:

"Does it look nice? This was prepared for today."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a quick-witted girl rushed in front of the camera to steal the spotlight:
"I not only want to marry Du, but I also want to have eight monkeys for him!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but no one found it strange.

In this place, madness is the norm.

Just then, a few young people wearing "Die Hard 4" movie T-shirts tried to walk through the venue.

The thousands of people dressed as secret agents who were originally watching the wedding dress beauties immediately shifted their attention to this group and stared at them.

The guys shuddered immediately. One of them couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and whispered:

"How about... we go to another store to buy the DVDs?"

The others nodded repeatedly and quickly slipped away from this "hotspot for celebrity worship".

Meanwhile, in a corner of the square, Lodis and Japel, also dressed in 'secret agent outfits,' were hiding in the crowd, observing the people queuing up.

Lodis frowned at the scene before him and couldn't help but curse:
"These fans are terrifying, they're all lunatics!"

Hearing the chants of "I love Du Sheng" echoing throughout the venue, Japel nodded in deep agreement:

"Everyone says we're desperados, but how could we be as insane as these people?"

Lordis suddenly blurted out:
"If we kill Du Sheng in public, will they tear us to pieces?"

Japel was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said:

"Eighteen sections is too conservative, let's add a zero."

He spat on the ground and said viciously:
"Big stars are so damn busy!"

This guy went from filming in Hong Kong to Morocco, and then to New York...

He never stays in one city for even a day, changing locations at least twice a day. Does he really enjoy this kind of life?

Lordis rarely doesn't act silly:
"Making hundreds of millions of dollars every year must be awesome."

Japel's eyes were gloomy:
"The leader has arrived in the United States, but we can't find an opportunity at all."

This guy's schedule is so packed, he's always running around, he can't get anything done at all.

Lodis remains the same as always, simple and direct:
"Let's just go for it! Who cares about all that!"

Japel sneered:
"The leader wanted him captured alive, not sent to meet God."

A target worth $20 billion shouldn't be set off lightly.

Lodis looked disdainful:
"You can't expect to be perfect in every aspect. In my opinion, we should just roll up our sleeves and get to work."

Japel raised an eyebrow and asked in return:
Do you want to die far from home?

Lordis curled his lip:
"I was born to be a bloodline; only the wind and snow on the road can bury me."

Japel, not wanting to waste words with him, was about to move forward a bit.

At this time, the phone vibrated.

He saw that it was his leader, Daniel, calling and immediately answered.

"Boss, he's in New York for an event. The media reports that he'll finish his book signing today and go back to Los Angeles this weekend..."

After a few words were spoken on the other end of the phone, Japel listened attentively and then replied:
“We found the information online; we didn’t hire a private investigator, and we didn’t leave any clues.”

After hanging up the phone, Japel turned to her and said:

"Let's go, buy plane tickets, and set up an ambush in California."

Inside the mall, Du Sheng was busy signing autographs.

His movements were practiced and his wrists flew as he signed each CD, smiling and saying to his fans:
"Thanks for the support."

Even if someone is filming nearby, he doesn't stop them, as long as they don't get in the way.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the store, and the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

Du Sheng looked up and was stunned for a moment.

Eight girls in wedding dresses surged toward him, waving as they went.

He smiled and finished signing the CDs in his hand.

Before leaving, the fan said mysteriously:
"Du, those girls outside were just shouting that they wanted to marry you."

Du Sheng was used to big scenes and was not surprised.

Kalia walked up to the autograph table with a limited edition copy of "The Man from Nowhere".

Her face was filled with undisguised excitement, like a fangirl meeting her dream lover.

Du Sheng looked up at her, took the CD, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support."

Kalia took a deep breath and asked with a hint of trepidation:

Can I take a picture with you?

Du Sheng glanced at the voluptuous fan, her expression gentle and apologetic:

"Sorry, the organizers have a rule that we can't take photos here."

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Kalia was even more moved.

"If you agree to take a photo for one person, then a whole bunch of people will want to take photos, and it will cause chaos."

Du Sheng smiled as he signed his autograph:

"Thank you for understanding."

Kalia felt a warmth in her heart, thinking that this man was both handsome and polite, even his rejection of people was so considerate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to hand the disc back, she secretly slipped the postcard in her hand into his, her voice filled with excitement:

"This is my contact information. Feel free to contact me when you have time."

After saying that, she turned around and made a heart shape with her hands towards the camera.

Mara had her phone ready and snapped a picture.

After completing her mission, Kalia lifted the hem of her wedding dress and ran outside, afraid that someone would steal her thunder.

Mara wasn't idle either. While Du Sheng was signing autographs, she made an exaggerated flying kiss gesture, prompting her companions to quickly take a picture.

Du Sheng could only smile helplessly at the sight.

They didn't cause any trouble or disrupt the order, so he can't just kick them out, can he?
Just as I was about to get back to work, another small note was slipped into my hand.

Before Kalia had gone far, she heard a girl behind her shout out that earth-shattering statement:

"Du, I want to marry you! I want to have your babies!"
