Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 257 - Koreans Targeted by Chen Yu and Ba Ye
New York·Fifth Avenue·Louis Vuitton Fashion Boutique Shopping Center:

After the photo was taken with the same eye makeup area business manager with Chen Yu smiling, he immediately ran into the elevator with the crew of "Knives Out" and headed straight to the third floor.

One of the movie's only action scenes was shot in this building, and the Apple store next to it was also interested in recruiting the "Knives Out" crew.

However, because action scenes may occur in unexpected and unexpected small mistakes, producer Leopold Hughes chose to decline Apple's invitation after careful consideration.

After all, the third to fifth floors of the Louis Vuitton building are all about fashion, which can reduce the secondary damage to actors if something goes wrong.

This is much better than Apple stores where there are many glass display cases and it is not easy to make space for shooting needs.

In addition, various retro, trendy, or advanced fashions are also excellent background images, which can add color and color to this simple and lively action scene to enhance the visual perception.

Moreover, "Knives Out" originally focuses on telling detective stories from the Victorian era in today's society, so it is not suitable for a large number of electronic products to flood the camera.

Furthermore, the mobile phone used by Chen Yu in the film was specially customized by Apple. Lionsgate, who did not want to be freed by Apple, would definitely choose to "bypass" it.

In fact, Apple’s senior executive vice president and local marketing director Mr. Kitim Nayat plans to cooperate with “Knives Out” to launch some limited edition peripherals.

However, because Lionsgate's business in Canada, Southeast Asia and some Latin American countries is related to BlackBerry, which has withdrawn from the mobile phone field, the two parties were unable to reach an agreement.

In addition, Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group has been the main beverage and clothing accessories chief sponsor of Lionsgate Films' productions since 10 years ago.

Chen Yu does not need to wear clothes provided by Louis Vuitton in this film, because he is Armani's global spokesperson and Armani can match all his looks.

Chen Yu, wearing Armani, shows off his skills in Louis Vuitton's territory!
This makes Armani's directors extremely happy and angry just thinking about it!

Therefore, before the official launch, a professional team of 90 people was dispatched to design and tailor various clothes for Chen Yu.

Even the socks, underwear, and vests that won't appear in the camera are all taken care of by Armani.

No cost is considered from the selection to the use of materials to the workmanship, just to make Chen Yu wear chic in Louis Vuitton's territory, look exquisite and finally be beautiful.

To be honest, the drama team and Lionsgate Pictures also put a lot of effort into PR for Louis Vuitton's executives.

Lionsgate Senior Executive President Nicos Karamaggios emphasized that this is by no means a confrontation between brands, but a visual feast that everyone works together to create!
This new type of cooperation attempt by giants in the fashion industry is likely to change the old communication channels. If successful, it will be a win-win situation for all parties!

Lionsgate, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Chen Yu, no one will lose.

On the other hand, if the results are not satisfactory and acceptable to the "majority", just change the routine. Anyway, the crew has ample funds and production cycle.

So the simple action scene brought out several executives from Armani, Louis Vuitton and Lionsgate.

Since this film has very few action scenes, it was troublesome for Chen Yu to also serve as the action director during project preparation.

But the circumstances of today's four scenes are quite special, so the crew specially invited Yuan Heping, the world's number one martial artist, to take charge. This kind of lively old man is also willing to take over the direction.

"Young man, have you seen "Fist of Heroes"?" The older generation of Hong Kong film and television workers have no choice in Mandarin. Yuan Heping can even say a few words about "Beijing movies".

Yuan Heping plans to apply Chen Zhen's boxing moves in "Fist of Heroes" to build up the base, and then add the northern style Muay Thai and Sambo techniques that Chen Yu is good at to enhance the visual impact.

But Chen Yu didn't want the audience to see that he was imitating Jet Li. As a world-class boxing champion, why should he pay tribute to him? The Kung Fu Emperor never dared to go into the ring and fight for real.

Li Lianjie doesn't like Chen Yu, but the latter also annoys him.

Yuan Baye, who was about to turn seventy-two, just looked at Chen Yu with a smile after hearing Chen Yu's insults and scoldings. The aging Yuan Baye understood Chen Yu's mentality.

Since ancient times, he has been ranked first in literature and second in martial arts. This super cute young boy in front of him does have the confidence and absolute strength to be defiant, arrogant and arrogant.

It is said that Bruce Lee had the same behavior when he stood in front of himself and Yuan Xiangren. He regarded Wuwu and himself as the best in the martial arts and action coaching circles in Hong Kong and the southern mainland.

Compared to Bruce Lee, who has no records to check, Chen Yu, who is now arrogant, is more liked and appreciated by the elderly Yuan Baye.

Because Chen Yuzhen has repeatedly defeated the foreign devils in the most professional and top international arena to become the national Yangwei, wreaking havoc and firmly dominating the two major levels!

This alone is better than Bruce Lee, who is just talking nonsense.

Yuan Baye very simply believes that Chinese culture is far ahead of the world, and having another book by Bruce Lee is just the icing on the cake.

What the country lacks now is a hegemonic powerhouse like Chen Yu who can fully demonstrate and represent China's power during non-war periods.

Although Chinese table tennis is good enough, its commercial value in the world is too low. Yao Ming’s achievements were limited due to too many burdens, so that only Chen Yu can be called China’s personal hero and form a national team with the Chinese table tennis team. top business cards. The two cultural output systems and channels of teams and individuals are what the country needs.

Since Chen Yu was unwilling to pay tribute to Jet Li, Yuan Heping came up with a second plan:

That is to say, the fierce northern style Muay Thai is used to focus on standing postures, and then it is combined with Sambo and Krav Maga ground techniques to enrich the action categories and increase the sense of space in the scene.

The use of transitions between movement and stillness, as well as posture switching between standing, squatting, prone, lying down, and falling down, fully stimulates the audience's visual senses and makes the audience subconsciously follow Chen Yu's swings and moves.

"All of you must follow a unified rhythm. You can neither swarm us nor fight alone with Chen Yu!" Yuan Heping clapped his hands and said to the martial arts masters.

The old man's English has a slight accent, but it does not affect communication.

But he and Chen Yu couldn't understand the English spoken by the Korean martial artists.

As a result, the communication between the three parties can only be carried out by gestures and writing. Fortunately, this group of Korean martial artists are only mute in English. In addition to speaking, their listening and writing skills are very good.

"I personally don't recommend using [bounty-style real fight] because Chen is a professional boxer and not an experienced action star, understand?" Yuan Heping waved his hand and said.

Yuan Baye was worried that Chen Yu could not control the strength and angle of the strike under stress, causing the martial artist to suffer serious injuries.

When Billy Chow and Chen Huimin first entered the industry, they always hurt those who acted opposite them.

It’s because of the difference in muscle memory between boxers who have been in the ring and action actors.

Seventeen Korean martial arts masters gathered together for a small meeting. Out of respect for Chen Yu and Yuan Heping, they insisted on communicating in English. The dog nature ingrained in their blood was similar to that of the Japanese.

Out of their original professionalism and excitement to cooperate with Chen Yu and Yuan Heping, the Korean martial artists decided to put on lightweight protective gear to test the strength of Chen Yu's strikes.

If they can grit their teeth and endure it, they are willing to contribute to the shooting effect. After all, these guys want to take over the market left by Chinese martial arts masters and action directors.

Nowadays, Chinese martial arts masters and action directors have returned to China to join the prosperous antique puppet market to make money.

Some time ago, James Wan started a new project and wanted to reunite with his original action team, but unfortunately he was declined by the latter, because it is easy and profitable to direct ancient puppets in China.

Both the management, the director and the artists themselves are afraid of getting hurt, so the action director can design a variety of "Magic Circles of Love" intersections with peace of mind.

To put it bluntly, artists like Dilraba who like to act in fighting scenes are the most fucking idiots and idiots that action directors and martial arts teams nowadays are annoying!
Although Du Xiubin, the action director of "Fire Like a Song", praised Reba's dedication in an interview.

But this guy and the team he brought back from Hollywood often scolded Reba in private, saying that she was wasting her time.

A professional martial artist can perform the same movements in one go, but Dilraba would have to perform them over ten times in person.

Du Xiubin spent three times as much time on the crew of "Fire Like a Song" as on other projects! Tell me how much he has to lose.

Nowadays, in the world of action directors and martial arts masters, you can only make money by doing volume. The end result of following a crew from beginning to end is that the team will be separated or the whole family will starve to death.

However, the current status of China's action director circle and martial arts industry cannot represent Europe and the United States.

At this moment, a Korean martial artist who had already put on light protective gear fist bumped with Chen Yu and then tensed up his muscles. Chen Yu shook his fist and looked sideways at Yuan Heping.

The smiling Yuan Baye secretly made a punching gesture often used by Russian boxing coaches.

Chen Yu understood the idea and then walked up to the Korean martial artist, stared closely at the latter's eyes, and suddenly fired a front hook.

With a "bang", the resolute Korean martial artist fell to the ground and passed out. The overload of pain caused his brain to automatically activate the protection mechanism.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu hurriedly squatted next to him to check whether he had swallowed his tongue. The five-person medical team with high concentration also quickly joined in the first aid.

Fortunately, the Korean martial artist only lost consciousness, and his heartbeat, pulse, body temperature and other vital signs all tended to normal fluctuation ranges after experiencing brief unstable fluctuations.

However, sending them to the hospital for follow-up observation is definitely a necessary procedure.

After putting their companions who were slowly waking up into the car, the remaining sixteen Korean martial artists quickly stood in two rows and bowed ninety degrees to Chen Yu and expressed their sincere thanks.

Chen Yu waved his hands indifferently, then turned around and curled his lips and shrugged at Yuan Heping, who was still smiling.
