Chapter 194 A timely help!

"Infernal Affairs" grossed over 14 million in Hong Kong within three days of its release.

Even in the mainland, it has risen to nine million.

According to this trend, it is really possible for Hong Kong to exceed 6 million.

In mainland China, many cinemas have increased their screening schedules. Based on the current attendance rate, 30 million is indeed too conservative.

However, many viewers went there to see Du Sheng.

Because the police uniform photos, stills and movie viewing feedback on the Internet have already piqued the interest of many people.

Liu Weiqiang also called and decided to continue filming "Infernal Affairs 2", with the plot mainly revolving around the younger version of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren.

Du Sheng is one of the leading actors, and he was asked if he could join the crew next week.

So we have to make arrangements in advance.

"No."

Ye Jingzhi was as elegant as ever, and said with a smile:
“We did have some endorsement offers coming our way, and the response was pretty quick.

"Infernal Affairs" has only been released for a few days, and someone has already noticed your future promotion value.

I'm going to screen them carefully, your value has increased a lot now."

"You just have to figure it out."

Du Sheng smiled and nodded.

He knows very well that the ups and downs of entertainment industry values ​​are as unpredictable as changes in the stock market.

It may be highly sought after at one time, and ignored at another time.

The recent period is obviously his rising period and he is favored by all parties.

Due to the huge popularity of "Infernal Affairs", even some of his previous scandals and controversies in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" were temporarily forgotten.

Back on the set, Du Sheng became busy again.

Fortunately, the action scenes have been almost finished, so even if they cannot be completed by then, his adoptive father can assist with the remaining ones, and at most he can find time to make up for them later.

Whether he is busy or free, Stephen Chow loves to discuss things with Du Sheng.

This kind of communication often sparks new creative ideas.

Du Sheng deeply felt Stephen Chow's persistence in filming and his endless creativity in making changes as he went along.

Any joke that he finds humorous can arouse Stephen Chow's strong interest, and he even wants to put it into practice.

In his spare time, Du Sheng would also observe Stephen Chow's directing style.

It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and any actor also has the idea of ​​directing.

Over time, he also learned a lot of directing tips.

In addition, he found that Stephen Chow was not only strict with others, but also with himself.

When filming the battle scene with the Fire Cloud Evil God, Stephen Chow insisted on using wires for several days in a row to complete the high-risk actions.

Such a long wire suspension is definitely a difficult test for ordinary people.

But Stephen Chow persevered with amazing perseverance.

This moved some veteran Hong Kong actors who had originally been critical of him.

What surprised Du Sheng even more was that when he was about to leave the group, Stephen Chow's agent took the initiative to come to him and inquire whether his studio was interested in joining Star Entertainment.

"I can't decide this on my own. I have to ask the joint venture partner."

Du Sheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and declined with a smile.

Tian Qiwen seemed to be mentally prepared for this, explaining:
“Don’t get me wrong, this is not Brother Xing’s idea, but my personal suggestion.

I can see that Brother Xing appreciates you very much. If you can join Xinghui, he will definitely support you strongly.

Maybe he has had this idea for a long time, but he never said it because he thought you might refuse.

I came here this time just to inquire about your intentions."

"I understand. I am personally very grateful to Xinghui Entertainment for its favor."

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"However, Miracle Studio has just been established and there are so many things to deal with that it is not appropriate to consider other things for the time being."

Tian Qiwen nodded slightly, but a trace of regret flashed through his heart.

He felt that Du Sheng was the kind of artist who could form a perfect match with Stephen Chow.

The person who had such a tacit understanding before was most likely Wu Mengda, who had a conflict due to misunderstanding.

"Qiwen talked to you?"

One day before Du Sheng left the group, Stephen Chow mentioned this matter inadvertently.

Seeing Du Sheng smiling and nodding, Zhou Xingchi shook his head:
“He obviously guessed what I was thinking.

For a new hotshot like you, let alone joining Xinghui, it's possible that you could become the boss of a company in the future."

Du Sheng smiled and asked back:

"Brother Xing, do you think that after I joined, I would part ways with you unhappily like some other people did?"

The two of them have a pretty close relationship, so a little joking is harmless.

"it's not true."

Zhou Xingchi was indeed not angry. Instead, he felt that Du Sheng was easy-going and said with a smile:
"Because you are a person who will not settle for the status quo, and you are a boxing champion, so your future is full of possibilities.

Xinghui cannot train you, nor can it be compatible with you. It will only hold you back."

"Brother Xing is flattering you."

Du Sheng just smiled:

"You think of me as an Asian superstar?"

"You're wrong. As long as you grow steadily, you can achieve more than this."

Zhou Xingchi patted his shoulder and said seriously:

"Let's not talk about boxing and acting for now. Your ability in action directing is there. There's no way you don't have ideas about directing, right?"

"I don't have the ability to do that at the moment, I'm just thinking about it."

Du Sheng responded modestly.

"If you really want to direct a play, I can teach you."

Stephen Chow recognized Du Sheng's abilities and extended an olive branch to him.

"If I can't make it in the future, even if you don't tell me, I will ask you for help."

"This is impossible." Zhou Xingchi stood up and looked into the distance:
"You haven't even had a movie released in which you starred, yet you're already this popular.

Once you become internationally famous in K1 or UFC, it will be easy to surpass Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the future."

Du Sheng really didn't expect that Stephen Chow would give him such a high evaluation.

Although he didn't think he would have to rely on others, who could predict what would happen in the future.

Shortly after leaving the crew, a clear reminder sound came into my ears.

[It is detected that the filming of "Kung Fu" has ended. Should we proceed with the lottery? 】

Du Sheng hesitated for a moment and decided to settle the bill.

Although the guest role was a bit small, I feel okay in other aspects.

At the very least, the character of Kuliqiang has some special abilities.

There are still 9 draws left, and it won’t be long before you advance to the next level and get 3 more prizes. It would be a waste not to waste them.

And once his acting skills improve, his lottery rating won't be bad.

[Statistics in progress... Host role compatibility 88.9%, role proportion 1.8%, completion 90.2%... Reward pool updated...]

As expected, Du Sheng was quite satisfied.

He filtered through his mind the things that might be extracted and said something silently in his heart.

Brush brush!
Seven cards exploded, the light flashed, and blue and green intertwined.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining three barrels of kerosene]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Tenacious Will (Blue)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the script of "The Grandmaster"]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special axe from Axe Gang! ]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the ability to control the set (blue)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Twelve-Way Tan Legs (LV1/Blue)"]

[Congratulations to the host for winning ten silver dollars (oceans)]

No purple, which is to be expected.

However, the fact that they were given three barrels of kerosene at the beginning made Du Sheng a little overwhelmed.

Although this is the opening scene in a movie, it is very common in real life.

At most, it can be used to set fire to warehouses, destroy traces, and survive in the wild.

However, it is convenient for storage and access, and it is better to have it than not, and I think it will be useful in the future.

[《Tenacious Will LV1/Blue: (100/1000)》:
Strong will, able to overcome physical pain limits, and highly resistant to mind control and telepathy.

Not surprisingly, this is the characteristic of coolies who are strong in hard work and perseverance.

Working as a bricklayer for many years has honed his mental strength and enabled him to overcome obstacles in ways that others cannot.

"This is not bad. At least in the future, if I encounter sudden trauma or hypnosis, I will have a stronger ability to resist it."

Du Sheng nodded secretly.

For example, when an ordinary person is hit by a bullet, the pain is so severe that it is difficult to even move, let alone overcome the excruciating pain.

Those scenes in the movies where people are still alive and kicking after being hit by bullets are simply unlikely to happen.

And with this skill, it is somewhat possible to do it.

"The movie script of The Grandmaster?..."

Du Sheng couldn't guess why he took out this thing.

Could it be that the protagonist in "Kung Fu" became a master, and the story happened during the Qing Dynasty?
Or maybe this time the lottery not only includes Kuli Qiang, but also mixes in the factor of his own "action director"?
In any case, this movie is pretty good, with a Douban score of 8.2 and a box office of nearly 2 million.

Besides, this is a re-release.

Unlike the official version that was released at the beginning, it incorporated too many things and failed to highlight the protagonist.

The story structure of this re-released version has been completely restructured, and it mainly tells the story of the great changes and grudges of a generation of masters.

"Not bad, I'll take a picture of it later if I have a chance."

Du Sheng was quite satisfied.

After all, he specializes in action movies.

This is like a pillow brought to you when you are falling asleep.

Axe made by Axe Gang, ten silver dollars (dollars)...

It would be quite practical to sell these things as antiques or give them to my adoptive father as a collection.

[《Film Set Control Ability LV1/Blue: (100/1000)》:
By using the environment, content, character traits, lighting, sound effects, lenses, editing, special effects, etc., the plot is divided into multiple sections with different rhythms, and the urgency is controlled in an orderly manner, allowing the audience's emotions to follow the ups and downs. 】

"This is also good. It will probably be useful in the future."

Du Sheng has now been given the title of action director. If he wants to make an excellent work, he must master these things.

The most disappointing shortcoming of movies in the entire Asian region is the pace, especially in action movies.

Most Hong Kong film directors just keep on fighting, fighting, and don't know how to use factors such as environment, lighting, special effects, etc. to control the rhythm.

The reason why I was able to draw this this time is probably related to watching Stephen Chow's movie.

"So, if the lucky draw items during filming cannot meet the 7 items, will the draw be adjusted based on the actors themselves?"

For example, the coolie in this play is so strong, but there is really nothing to draw correspondingly.

You can't take out the coolie clothes he's wearing, can you?

The comprehensive evaluation results are basically blue-green levels. What materials should be used to make these clothes, shoes and socks to reach the green level?
Du Sheng was too lazy to care about it anymore and moved his eyes to the last item.

["Twelve-Way Tan Leg LV1/Blue: (100/1000)":
The hands are two doors, and the legs are used to hit people. Tan Tui has four hands, and both humans and ghosts are worried when they see him. 】

"Kuliqiang's innate skill has been extracted, and it's blue, not bad!"

Du Sheng smiled and was in a good mood.

There are twelve moves in Tan Leg, namely bounce, step, intercept, kick, chop, hang, lift, sweep, whip, kick, knee, swing, all of which are leg attack techniques.

It is true that he has learned it, but he did not master it well, and even the skill panel did not appear.

Now you can just draw a winner, which not only saves a lot of study time, but also can be put into practical use.

Especially in the upcoming K1 finals, leg skills will definitely be used the most.

This is like timely help!
