Extracting skills from movies

Hearing this, those nearby couldn't help but whisper and speculate:

"It seems things aren't looking good."

Just then, a Ferrari appeared and drove straight into the hospital gate.

A sharp-eyed reporter immediately shouted:

"That's Taylor's car! Du Sheng's rumored girlfriend is here!"

Immediately afterwards, someone else sighed:

"Next, this area will probably be occupied by the Du family's disciples."

As expected, fans of Sheng arrived in waves, as if in a silent gathering.

Cars drove into the hospital one after another.

Liu Yifei and Taylor got out of the Ferrari and quickly went to the reception desk to inquire about the situation.

The matter was of great importance, and Hades, Theresa, Crand, and others also arrived.

Taylor asked, almost in tears:
"How is Brother Sheng? Where is he?"

Liu Yifei remained silent, as was unusual, and simply pursed her lips tightly.

For the first time, she truly felt the helplessness of being hurt by a loved one.

Haders sighed:
"Du was injured and is receiving treatment."

Taylor's eyes reddened, and she silently prayed.

Liu Yifei hugged her and comforted her:

"My cousin has always been lucky; he'll definitely be able to turn bad luck into good."

Taylor, however, was not as calm as her; her heart was still in turmoil.

As the head of the Sony division, Crand appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was filled with anxiety.
I want to help but I don't know what to do, and I'm really anxious.

At that moment, the door to the examination room opened, and the nurse came out and asked:

"Is Hades here? Du Sheng wants you to come in."

Hades quickly stepped forward and followed the nurse inside.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yifei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Taylor, however, felt inexplicably nervous:

"Du Sheng... Du Sheng..."

Liu Yifei patted her back and gently comforted her:

"Don't worry, it's probably just a minor injury."

She paused, her tone becoming more relaxed:
“Think about it, if it were really serious, I would be the first one to go in, not Hades.”

Taylor thought about it and realized that it made sense.

After all, the relationship between cousins ​​is undeniable, so they are naturally closer.

In the treatment room, Du Sheng sat on the hospital bed with a bandage on her right arm and a bandage wrapped around her left leg. There were a few abrasions on her skin, which had been cleaned up.

As soon as Haders came in, he asked:

"How is it? Is it serious?"

Du Sheng shrugged, his tone relaxed:
"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

He has a strong physique, and with the support of skills such as the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" and the "Nine Yang Divine Skill", the injury on his leg is not deep at all, and there is no need for disinfection or scraping.

However, his right shoulder suffered minor damage from the collision with the car, and the doctor immobilized it as a precaution.

This kind of injury wouldn't have been a big deal when he was a stunt double in his previous life.

"Are Yao Wei and his bodyguards and security personnel alright?"

Haders replied:
"It's alright, Yao Wei just finished giving his statement, he should be here soon."

Hearing that the team was alright, Du Sheng finally felt relieved.
"What's the situation outside now?"

Haders nodded and began his report:
"Major television stations are reporting on it immediately, and media outlets like United Press International are updating the news every few minutes."

The incident has had a huge impact; countless people in North America are paying attention!

He added:
"However, both Robinson of the LAPD and Lane of the FBI have advised you to stay out of the public eye and avoid interviews for now. They are..."

Du Sheng pondered for a moment:
"Okay, I'll wait for them to arrive before we talk about it."

Haders nodded:
"I've also spoken to the hospital; they won't release any information unless you show up."

Du Sheng understood, and had already planned out how to arrange the next scene.

"Contact Amanda and Li Yixin's PR teams and have them keep a close eye on the situation and be ready to adjust their strategies at any time."

This is not only good for the box office of "The Man from Nowhere," but also very beneficial for our next film's Oscar run.

Haders knew he was referring to "Taken" and quickly wrote it down.

Du Sheng added another sentence:
"And call Theresa in for a moment."

As soon as Haders left, Liu Yifei and Taylor rushed in.

When Taylor saw his appearance, she almost burst into tears.

Du Sheng smiled at her from the bed, comforting everyone:

"It's nothing serious, you'll recover quickly."

Taylor's eyes were red:

"I was really scared just now!"

Seeing that he was alright, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and went to the side to make a phone call.

The group of friends is still traveling in North America, so they must have heard about this already. They'd be going crazy if they didn't explain.

On the way, Hades had already given instructions to Theresa and Crand.

As soon as Du Sheng saw Theresa enter, he said directly:

"Hurry up and edit a trailer for 'Taken,' communicate with Sony, and take advantage of this hype to promote it in advance."

Theresa wasn't slow-witted either:

"I watched the video. Your performance today was just like a real-life special forces soldier, Yang Yongjie. This sequel movie is definitely going to be a hit!"

Du Sheng smiled:
"To go viral, you still need to rely on publicity and marketing."

Theresa nodded:
"With such good materials right in front of you, even a fool would know how to use them."

Sony's professional team is top-notch; the hype is guaranteed to be just as high as "The Man from Nowhere."

Du Sheng nodded:

"Okay, get on with it."

Theresa immediately stood up:
"I'll go to the studio right now and find someone to edit a trailer tonight."

Crand said a few words and then followed them out.

Taylor poured a glass of water and held it to Du Sheng's lips:

"Even in your condition, you're still thinking about the movie."

Du Sheng smiled and casually said:
"This popularity was earned with our lives, so of course we have to seize the opportunity and make it as big as possible."

Before Taylor could say anything more, her phone rang. The caller was inquiring about Du Sheng's situation.

Taylor wasn't in the mood for a long chat, so he hung up after a few words.

Just then, there was a knock on the ward door.

When Liu Yifei opened the door, she saw Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino.

The two were somewhat surprised to see Du Sheng's appearance as soon as they entered the room.

"Are you badly injured?"

Du Sheng smiled and waved his hand:
"It's just a superficial injury, which will probably disappoint many reporters."

Quentin understood immediately:

"Are you trying to capitalize on this hype to boost box office sales, or even contend for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film?"

Leonardo listened to the two men, each more astute than the other, and felt he still had much to improve.

Quentin patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, I'll give you one later. I have two more at home."

Or you could try to touch the Palme d'Or, but it'll just sit idle at home for over a decade.

Leonardo was on the verge of tears. This was hardly a consolation.
This is a blow!

The two didn't stay long; after confirming that Du Sheng was alright, they said goodbye and left.

When faced with reporters again, the two only boasted about how well they cooperated with Du Sheng and how they took down a group of armed thugs, and gave nonsensical answers to other questions.

At 9 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI finally showed up.

Robinson came from the Los Angeles Police Department.

He and Du Sheng have been in contact since the Mandela school shooting earlier this year.

The FBI representative was Ryan, an old acquaintance with whom they had previously dealt.

One of them represented local law enforcement, and the other came from the FBI, but neither of them were unfamiliar to Du Sheng.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and taking the routine notes, the atmosphere gradually shifted from formalities to the main topic.

Lyont spoke first:
"Of the eight armed robbers, six died on the spot, and the remaining two were seriously injured."

One of them suffered a ruptured heart meridian and probably won't make it through the night.

Another one might not even be able to remain in a vegetative state in the future.

As he spoke, he gave Du Sheng a thumbs-up:

"You're incredibly lucky to have escaped unscathed from such an ambush!"

Du Sheng understood that the other party was testing him, and said calmly:
"In that situation, I had no choice but to go all out, otherwise I would be the one who collapsed."

Robinson picked up the conversation, speaking in a serious tone:

"These Moses 'blood gang' members are too ruthless. They actually dared to open fire and commit violence in a public place. They must be severely punished!"

Du Sheng nodded and then said:

"They were really ruthless. If I had been less lucky back then, I wouldn't be sitting here talking now."

Lyont chimed in, his tone steady:
"These people are all professional desperados who have been operating on the border for many years, doing business that involves risking their lives. Killing is as commonplace for them as eating."

You're a miracle you survived, thanks to God.

Du Sheng sensed something was amiss, paused briefly, and then continued:
“You’re right, they’re not your average thugs.”

Robinson smiled and continued:
“This group is well-trained and operates covertly, sneaking into Los Angeles without being detected by the state police.”

Du Sheng leaned against the hospital bed, looking very weak.

"My head is still a little dizzy, and I'm having trouble keeping up with what you're saying right now."

Robinson glanced at Lane, who understood immediately, and continued:

"Our initial interrogation of the seriously injured bandits revealed that the motive for the attack was that their smuggling route had been disrupted, and they wanted to make some money quickly, so they turned to kidnapping."

You are my primary target!

Because you're famous, wealthy, and Asian, we can make a fortune by exploiting you.

He added:
"Furthermore, they also want to create chaos, damage the image of the United States, and interfere with the election at a crucial moment..."

Du Sheng secretly admired him.

Good heavens, a single sentence has escalated an ordinary case to the level of a "terrorist attack," directly linking it to the national election.

With this kind of packaging, they've gained attention.

They've secured the credit, and it can also cover up the police's slow response and poor control of the scene.

He didn't rush to express his opinion, but listened quietly.

Lane continued:
"So, taking advantage of Obama's imminent arrival in Los Angeles, they joined forces with local Blood Ties and undercover spies to plan this operation."

Du Sheng then spoke, with a hint of probing:
"Really?"

Robinson nodded:

"This is the best way to put it for everyone."

And you will become the most famous Chinese person in North America.

Du Sheng smiled, and said meaningfully:

"We've always had a good relationship, and we'll definitely cooperate fully where necessary."

He paused and continued:
"But I need to know who's behind this and why they're targeting me."

He knew in his heart that this matter was not just about extortion.

After all, there are plenty of people in North America with a net worth of billions, so why pick me out of all people?
Robinson thought for a moment and said:

"The mastermind's name is Danor, and you killed his grandson on the Mandela campus."

Du Sheng wasn't surprised to hear that.

If you add the $4000 million he casually took when the Blood Gang and the Crippled Gang clashed in Las Vegas, the two sides would have been enemies long ago.

Lyont added:
"Besides those who appeared at the Fonda Theater today, Danor has seven men waiting for him at the border."
We need to give the international community an explanation before we can bring them back…

Du Sheng understood immediately upon hearing this.

Compared to kidnapping celebrities, cases involving national security, such as arresting a "Moscow spy," are what truly earn the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI recognition and awards.

Moreover, once it is classified as a terrorist attack, the police's slow response and inadequate security will no longer be a topic of discussion.

He smiled and tactfully said:

"It's my duty."

Robinson understood the implication in his words and responded with a smile:

"Actually, I had already communicated with my superiors before coming here, and both the police station and the Administrative Department would respond." He said sincerely.

You not only saved many lives this time, but also made a real contribution to the safety of Los Angeles.

Hundreds of lives lost—that's no small matter!

People are driven by more than just money; they also have other desires, and Du Sheng is no exception.

This time, the Los Angeles Police Department clearly came with sincerity.

Du Sheng leaned against the hospital bed, a faint smile on his face:

"If it's convenient, I would like to ask you to provide an official certificate."

Lyont paused for a moment:
"what type is it?"

Du Sheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"Legal right to carry firearms in self-defense."

He's not a citizen of the United States, so he can't just get a gun license. If he fires a gun, it will cause a lot of problems.

Lyont paused for a moment, then nodded:
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it for you later."

After finishing our business, he couldn't help but ask:
"The Man from Nowhere was great, and the sequel is supposed to be released at the end of the year?"

Every man dreams of being a savior, and Du Sheng's films not only perfectly portray this dream, but his fighting skills are also exceptional. He is one of his fans.

Du Sheng did not deny it:
"That's right, 'Taken 2', you can check it out if you're interested."

Lyont laughed heartily:
Of course!

Your antics on set today were more exciting than a movie; the film is sure to be a hit.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed sufficiently, Robinson stood up and said:
"The Moses spy case is very serious, and we need to continue to track down the remaining fugitives. We won't take up any more of your rest."

Lane also patted his chest and guaranteed:
"None of the ruthless criminals involved this time will escape, and we will never let them use the same tricks again."

Du Sheng smiled and replied in a cooperative tone:
"Eliminate all evil and restore the beacon of democracy!"

After the two left, Du Sheng called Hades over and asked him to handle the follow-up matters.

Just as Hades left, Taylor came in with a late-night snack. They originally planned to eat together, but then Sony executive Crand arrived.

"Du, the company has made all the arrangements. All medical expenses will be covered, including lost wages, which will also be compensated in full."

Du Sheng smiled and thanked him:

"No one expected that a celebration banquet would end up like this."

It seems we can only postpone it now.

Crand waved his hand:

"It's alright, just focus on recovering. We'll talk about it again once you've fully recovered."

Although the celebration banquet was canceled, the event generated an absurd amount of buzz.
With extensive media coverage, Du Sheng's fame skyrocketed.

My reputation points increased by 20 in just a few hours.
At this rate, we'll break the 500 million mark tomorrow!
You can break through the Nine Yang Divine Skill or the Longevity Manual.
