Chapter 349: Filming "Brokeback Mountain"?
"It's incredible!"

Quentin kept praising it.

"Was the camera on? Did it record this precious moment?"

Judd hurriedly asked the photographer who was responsible for shooting the dynamic, fearing that he would miss this wonderful moment.

Fortunately, although the photographer was also surprised, his hands did not shake.

"Man, he's so strong! I'm going to re-adjust his role, he should be a reclusive oriental martial arts master!"

Quentin excitedly shouted to the production representative.

Even producer Lawrence was amazed.

I thought these 50 things were worth it.

Just using that scene just now for publicity can attract countless attention!
Everyone came over, and Uma Thurman asked with admiration:

"Du, your tiger fist performance just now was so cool! Did you learn from Li Xiaolong?"

Du Sheng waved his hand slightly and said with a smile:
"I mainly learn Bajiquan, and what I just performed was Xiangxingquan.
But Li Xiaolong is a senior whom I admire, and I also study his Jeet Kune Do."

Daryl Hannah, who plays 'Al' in the film, was also amazed:
"Du, don't all Oriental people know Kung Fu?"

"Not really, but there are indeed many Kung Fu schools, but they are limited by the rules of the fighting ring and cannot become famous."

Madsen, who plays Rattlesnake, asked excitedly:
"Du, if we train with you, can we also have the same outburst as you?"

Du Sheng didn't hit him, but just smiled:

"There is an old saying in the East: If you give up halfway, you can't break rotten wood; if you keep carving, you can carve gold and stone.

As long as you persevere, maybe in a few years, you will be able to do it."

several years?

After hearing this, Madsen shook his head.

They entered the entertainment industry to gain fame and make money, not to suffer this hardship.

"Du, come here, let's talk about salary and filming arrangements—"

After greeting everyone, Du Sheng followed producer Lawrence to the other side.

It can be seen that the producer is quite satisfied with him.

It also saves a lot of steps and trouble.

In fact, this is exactly what Du Sheng wanted.

Today he could indeed perform a set of boxing or sword dancing, but it would at best make people feel that he had good skills.

But it's hard to shock people.

However, recreating Li Xiaolong's classic shots can instantly establish the image of a master.

After all, boxing and UFC are booming in North America, and everyone has seen a lot of fights.

No matter how good the routine is, it can't be as shocking as this real scene!
Besides, Du Sheng’s greatest advantage is his extraordinary abilities. Wouldn’t it be a shame not to use them to show off his skills?
After this demonstration, the entire crew was impressed by Du Sheng's kung fu.

It is said that the crew invited a real oriental martial arts master!
Seeing Du Sheng coming out with a lawyer, Yuan Heping couldn't help but praise him wholeheartedly:

"Ah Sheng, you are worthy of being the boxing champion who has won glory for our country. You have earned enough face for us in front of the foreigners!"

"Haha, Master Ba, you are too kind. No one can compare to you in terms of true martial arts guidance."

Du Sheng smiled:

"I will have to rely on Master Ba's guidance on the moves related to the 'White Eyebrow Taoist' from now on!"

"A Sheng, you are also a martial arts instructor, and with your skills, you can perform all kinds of moves with ease."

The two of them smiled and exchanged pleasantries.

Yuan Heping was also very pleased with Du Sheng's real kung fu.

With such a talented person joining, the film is more secure.

Before Du Sheng arrived, he had led the team to design several action plans.

The normal process is to test the other party's strength before deciding which one to use.

After all, if you force a difficult set on the actors, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort if they mess up?

Judging from the current situation, Du Sheng's attainments in martial arts are unquestionable.

Despite this, some movie tricks still need to be practiced.

You can master it as quickly as possible to ensure that each move can be used with ease.

Secondly, this film pursues the kind of violent beauty that flows like water.

There is still some difference between actual fighting and interpretation.

But as Yuan Heping said, Du Sheng just needs to familiarize himself with the routine and doesn't need to stay here to practice hard.

"Mr. Du, you should have read the script. The main focus of the play is on teaching and imparting knowledge."

Before leaving, Quentin also reminded Du Sheng:
"Next week the crew will go to the Eastern Locations to film at the Seven Kings Tomb on Yangtai Mountain in Haidian. Is that ok with your end?"

"no problem."

Du Sheng knew that the main filming locations for this drama were in the East and Mexico.

All the scenes involving Taoist Master Baimei were filmed in Beijing, so there was no conflict in the schedule.

Seeing that they had finished their discussion, Yuan Heping smiled and pulled Du Sheng aside, pointing at a chubby man:

"Ah Sheng, I don't think I need to introduce this person."

Du Sheng saw who was coming and said in surprise:

"Brother Bao, why are you here too?"

Who else could it be if not Hong Xibao?

As the saying goes, meeting an old friend in a foreign place is one of the three happiest things in life.

Hong Yubao was in a good mood and laughed:
"Have you forgotten that I was working with Cheng Long on a comedy called Around the World in 80 Days?
The movie is not going to be released yet, so I have to come here to check out my schedule. "

Du Sheng immediately understood.

It’s just that this movie was such a complete flop in the previous life that it almost ruined Jackie Chan’s career in Hollywood.

But it's hard to say this, so he smiled and said:

"Then I wish Brother Bao's new film a big hit and a long-lasting success."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Hong Yubao suddenly asked:
"Have you received Director Li's invitation to the banquet?"

Yuan Heping knew that he was talking about an invitation from one of the best Chinese directors today, so he smiled and said:
“Director Li should have invited anyone who is a little bit famous in Hollywood.

But I am old, so I won’t join in the fun.” Hong Yubao turned his head and looked at Du Sheng:
"Ah Sheng, what about you?"

Du Sheng remembered that Don King was still in England and would probably not be able to come back tonight, so he smiled:
"Since Director Li has spoken, and we happen to be here, we might as well go and broaden our horizons."

"Haha, then let's go together and join in the fun."

Yuan Heping called over a disciple and said with a smile:

"Mr. Du, while there is still time, how about I help you with the filming procedures first?"

"Alright."

.........

That night, a villa in Hollywood was particularly lively.

Among the guests there were many celebrities, as well as many influential figures in the circle.

As for those Chinese artists who want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to fame, there is an endless stream of them.

Du Sheng looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little emotional.

Li An is truly one of the leading Chinese directors today.

Ten years ago, The Wedding Banquet directed by him won the Golden Bear Award at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.

Three years ago, the martial arts action film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four major awards including the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Ever since the flop of "Windtalkers" directed by John Woo two years ago, Li An's popularity has been unstoppable.

Tonight's party is to celebrate his film "The Incredible Hulk" receiving multiple nominations for the Saturn Awards, and also to promote his upcoming new film.

With Li An's status in Hollywood, countless people want to get to know him.

It would be even better if I could play a role in the movie that the other person is about to shoot.

Du Sheng knew that this great director was at the peak of his career, and even knew what film he was about to shoot.

With a production cost of 1500 million U.S. dollars, the box office revenue was 1.8 million U.S. dollars, which made Li An reach the peak of his life.

But Du Sheng didn’t have many ideas.

Because the movie is called Brokeback Mountain.

Li An was busy with social engagements at the moment and the two parties did not meet.

The two were led by the waiter to a group of Asian people.

Du Sheng looked around and saw an acquaintance.

It’s Michelle Yeoh.

Michelle Yeoh and Li An have a pretty good relationship. The filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" established a deep friendship between them.

It is worth mentioning that her agency contract in the mainland is under the name of Wang Jinhua, just like those of Carina Lau, Tony Leung Ka Fai and others.

Du Sheng looked carefully and realized that the place in front of him was most likely the Chinese circle involved in Hollywood.

As one of the leading Chinese directors in Hollywood, it is normal for Li An to attract a group of people to join him.

At this time, the tall and thin middle-aged man who was surrounded by people saw Du Sheng and Hong Xibao coming, and waved with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Du, welcome, welcome!"

Seeing some confusion on Du Sheng's face, Hong Yubao hurriedly introduced in a low voice:

"This is Xu Ligong."

Du Sheng knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

He is a well-known producer in the Hong Kong film and television circles, a behind-the-scenes promoter of Bay City films, and has successfully connected film resources between Bay City and the mainland.

It is worth mentioning that Li An was promoted by him.

Later, the two collaborated on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", with Xu Ligong serving as producer.

Although his work focus has been in Hollywood in recent years, he has always kept an eye on the developments in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

How could he not know about a famous figure like Du Sheng?
As a practitioner in the entertainment industry, it is essential to establish a good relationship with Du Sheng.

When inviting Hong Xibao, Xu Ligong learned that Du Sheng had also come to the Lighthouse Country, so he decided to invite Du Sheng to the party.

Du Sheng smiled slightly and also extended his hand:

"Boss Xu, I have heard of your great name for a long time.

I'm new here, please take care of me."

"Mr. Du, you are too polite. I don't deserve your care."

Xu Ligong responded with a smile:

"But we are all Chinese, so it's only natural for us to help each other."

He smiled at Hong Yubao again and said:

"Xiaobao, I heard that Disney is very optimistic about your new film. It looks like it will be a huge success!"

"Haha, Mr. Xu is just a joker. It's good enough if we can break even!"

Seeing this, some Chinese people on the other side couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Qiong, who is this? Why is Mr. Xu so polite?"

Michelle Yeoh looked at Du Sheng, who was chatting and laughing with Xu Ligong, and introduced:

"The most popular artist in the mainland, the first Chinese world boxing champion, have you heard of him?"

Someone suddenly realized that it was him.

Du Sheng’s achievements in the Hong Kong circle cannot be underestimated. Anyone who has been there cannot be unaware of it.

"Is he planning to develop in Hollywood?"

Michelle Yeoh spread her hands:
"I'm not sure, but he's the boss of Interstellar Media, so maybe he'll invest."

Some actors from the mainland have naturally heard about the deeds of Star Media.

But for Asians who have been living in the beacon country for many years, it is very confusing.

On the contrary, I feel that the title of "Chinese Boxing Champion" is more well-known.

However, they don't have much in common with these mainland artists who have risen in the boxing world, so they are not very interested.

But the next moment, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
