Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 277 - Complex
According to Dilraba's instructions and Tong Liya's instructions, Chen Yu, who had nothing to do in the past two days, would spend the whole morning taking Chen Sicheng and others around New York, mainly in Manhattan and Queens.

In Brooklyn, I only visited Chinatown and the more famous graffiti streets and Central Park.

In addition, I don’t know if Chen Sicheng is really worried about safety issues or if he is deliberately showing off to Chen Yu.

He led the team back to the hotel after six o'clock every evening, and asked the crew members to try not to wander around. If they wanted to go out, at least two people should go together.

In fact, there are many good places to relax in and around the St. Regis Manhattan Hotel.

For example, Liu Chengyu, a Chinese-Italian mixed-race girl who likes sports, is addicted to the swimming pool, tennis court, gym and ladies-only steam room inside the hotel.

Liu Chengyu, who has been training in martial arts since he was six years old, is not only a black belt in Taekwondo but also Michelle Yeoh's beloved disciple.

Therefore, Liu Chengyu has been looking for an opportunity to have an informal contest with Chen Yu since he arrived in New York.

Chen Yu was reluctant to pay attention to the actor and model born in 1994, so every time she sincerely invited Chen Yu to give advice, the latter refused.

Regardless of whether Liu Chengyu studied Taekwondo or Michelle Yeoh taught traditional kung fu, in Chen Yu's eyes Liu Chengyu practiced them like ballet:
The movements are smooth, the postures are graceful and the temperament is elegant.

To put it bluntly, she is only suitable for performing and is not qualified to compete with others in the ring.

Therefore, Chen Yu and Chen Sicheng never had any active communication or dialogue with Liu Chengyu when they got along.

On the other hand, Shang Yuxian, who is a senior student of Guli Nazha and Meng Ziyi, seems to Chen Yu to be quite well-behaved and sensible.

Born in the same year as Liu Chengyu in 1994, she is more attentive. Shang Yuxian, who is responsible for ordering every meal, can really make twelve people not only full but also well-fed.

Don't underestimate the skill of ordering food. Shang Yuxian has mastered it and understood that even if he fades out of the entertainment industry, film and television industry, he doesn't have to worry about having no place to display his skills.

Yesterday, during the video chat with Dilraba, Chen Yu specifically mentioned Shang Yuxian to his girlfriend and asked her to observe her secretly.

After Dilraba Studio made clear its strategic plan to focus on cultivating Li Yitong in the future, it involved the big issue of finding a "play partner" for her.

Although fixed combinations tend to make the audience more and more bored as they watch, it is very conducive to quickly absorbing and gathering popularity in the early stage.

The Jiaxing gift package model is not without its merits, but it is a pity that Zeng Jia was unable to split it up in time due to the pressure of the gambling agreement.

Now that Zeng Jia, Yang Mi and Zhao Ruoyao have completed the gambling agreement, even if they dismember the Jiaxing gift bag, the audience whose eyes were burned will not buy it.

Therefore, marketing methods are not strictly good or bad, it all depends on how they are used.

Because of her sweet appearance, Li Yitong is not suitable for starring in pure heroine works, so she needs someone to help her and sacrifice some of her characteristics to support Li Yitong.

If this kind of role is played by someone other than Dilraba's studio, it will increase the cost and lose favors.

Moreover, Dilraba has never thought about making the studio bigger, so when looking for someone, she has to choose someone who is safe. Shang Yuxian was naturally included in her reserve list.

But right now, this young lady from Fucheng, Sichuan Province, has no idea that there will be a fork in her life path ahead.

At this moment, Shang Yuxian is conscientiously studying English in the hotel room.

Recently, she and Chen Yu have been communicating in stumbling English with a slight accent, but her progress in grammar is obvious.

To be honest, Chen Yu didn't understand what "grammar" was.

When Dilraba was learning English, she asked Chen Yu this question, but she ended up asking him to hesitate in front of the screen and couldn't explain clearly.

Although Chen Yu is quite vague about "grammar", he can use written language in formal situations.

That means paying attention to prepositions, tenses, modifications, and trying to avoid the use of confusing abbreviations.

In addition, he will be exposed to "grammar" explanations, applied expertise and teaching materials in all Chinese (literature) classes after the second grade of elementary school.

These courses, such as essay writing and studying poetry, will carry over into college.

It's a pity that Chen Yu only finished junior high school and then gave up high school life for fighting.

"If I fail to make a name for myself in the professional fighting circle, then with only a junior high school education, I will have to go home and become a cowboy." Chen Yu raised an eyebrow at Chen Sicheng.

The two were chatting in the small bar inside the hotel. Yesterday, Chen Sicheng contacted Donnie Yen about being an action director.

Master Ye was very interested, but his opening price was a bit beyond Chen Sicheng's psychological bottom line.

Donnie Yen was also very open about this and directly asked Chen Sicheng to find a knowledgeable professional to find a price before discussing.

Master Ye neither used harsh words nor bargained. This kind of inconvenient transaction requires peace of mind and willingness.

Otherwise, the more one party thinks about it, the angrier it becomes, and the more the other party thinks about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and it will be very easy to break up and leak the secret.

Everyone is just looking for money, so there is no need to make the relationship so tense, and if the business is not done in a righteous way, it will be easier to find opportunities to cooperate in the future.

"Except for Yuan Heping and the older generation of action directors in Xiangjiang, there are only two or three big cats and kittens left that can be used."

Chen Yu handed the soda cup to the bartender and asked him to add a piece of ice to it, then looked at Chen Sicheng beside him, who was sipping lemonade with his head lowered and frowning. It may be more difficult to impress Sammo Hung. Cheng Xiaodong has been in the Mainland for a long time and enjoys his work. Money is not important.

Dong Wei, Qian Jiale and Li Zhongzhi, the three heroes of the new millennium, are on the rise in their careers and have concerns about taking this money.

On the other hand, Chen Sicheng particularly looked down upon Yuan Kui, Yuan Bin, Yuan Xiangren, Lin Di'an and Meng Hai.

The reason is that these few are typical examples of strong but not famous people. If Chen Sicheng paid a high price, he would feel at a loss.

"Are you familiar with European and American action directors?" Chen Sicheng changed his mind and prepared to go international.

Chen Yu immediately made a pause gesture and told him that the road was full of thorns and potholes.

"It's hard for you to control and communicate with those strong European and American men, especially when they think they are on the right side."

Because Chen Yu may participate in the third and fourth parts of the "John Wick" series, he has contacted the action director of the series, Stephen Dunleavy.

Chen Yu's evaluation of him and his team of Eastern European martial artists was pure idiots.

These idiots will arrange action routines according to the routines given by the computer system, regardless of whether the fifty-three-year-old Keanu Reeves can do well.

As a result, the action scenes in the "John Wick" series are stiffer and more stagnant than the last.

If Chen Yu really joins the cast, he will definitely ask to replace Stephen Dunleavy. Even the latter's abilities are not as exciting as Donnie Yen's sleepwalking routine.

"Hey, your mouth is quite vicious." Chen Sicheng drank the lemonade in one gulp.

Chen Yu tilted his head, pretending to be innocent, and drank all the soda water.

Seeing this, Chen Sicheng knew that Chen Yu was going to train in the evening, so he cupped his fists and handed over his hands to ask him to give Liu Chengyu some advice.

The little girl called and begged Tong Liya to help intercede, and then Chen Sicheng received a new order from Duoduo's mother.

"I will look for an opportunity to repay this favor to Xiaodi." Chen Sicheng said again with clasped fists and hands. Because Tong Liya, Reba, Nazha and Reyza formed a secret alliance, Chen Sicheng, who had a glimpse of the business opportunities, has been gradually improving his relationship with Tong Liya in recent times. relation.

Chen Yu pursed his thin lips. Since Chen Sicheng had already said this, he couldn't refuse anymore.

As for how Liu Chengyu got attached to Tong Liya, Chen Yu did not ask Chen Sicheng. He estimated that the couple had a lot of games when choosing roles.

The St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan specially built a very professional fighting and boxing training ground on the 22nd floor because of Chen Yu's stay and assembled an octagonal cage.

At this moment, Chen Yu's coaching team is adjusting the parameters of the physical testing equipment, while Liu Chengyu is jumping in the octagonal cage with anticipation.

"Sorry ma'am, you have no right to stand there, please come out."

Chen Yu pointed at Liu Chengyu and said calmly, then turned around and asked the cleaning staff to clean the octagonal cage.

Chen Sicheng pinched his tongue. In terms of pretentiousness, he was indeed not as majestic, unruly and arrogant as Chen Yu.

Liu Chengyu walked out of the octagonal cage with a red face and an angry look. In her opinion, Chen Yu was a very obvious act of discrimination.

Chen Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense to Liu Chengyu and directly ordered her to put on a full set of protective gear. Then Chen Yu caught the sponge stick thrown by Coach Azan and flicked it twice.

This thing is generally used as a replacement for a boxing target. It is light and flexible and has a decent impact feel.

Chen Yu, who hadn't even warmed up, glanced sideways at Liu Chengyu, who was ready, hooking his hand to signal her to attack, "Please be quick, I don't want to delay training."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengyu did not hesitate and directly used a very standard forward kick followed by a turning side kick, and then was hit hard on the left side of the helmet by Chen Yu with the sponge stick in his hand.

"The connection between the two attacks is slow and clumsy." Coach Azan curled his lips and sneered.

I really don’t know which master trained him, but he dared to attack easily with his legs, leaving his lower body unprotected.

Although Chen Sicheng didn't know much English, he knew from the look on the lean old man beside him that he didn't mean to say anything nice.

Liu Chengyu took two steps back to return to the starting point of his accustomed attack, and then started with a horizontal kick that could not find any faults.

But this time her attack combination was interrupted by roars of laughter from the sidelines.

Chen Yu's coaching team ridiculed Liu Chengyu for being able to mechanically use Taekwondo kicking skills as a precursor to his attack.

At the same time, I asked Liu Chengyu if her teacher teaches dance. Otherwise, why would every move she makes be extremely beautiful and standard but have no strength?
"Her teacher is Michelle Yeoh." Chen Yu used the sponge stick as a sword and swung it back and forth in strange ways, causing everyone to burst into joking laughter again.

Mallory, Chen Yu's sparring partner, also casually picked up a sponge stick and ran forward to fight with Chen Yu, and said lines from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in a weird way to add to the effect.

Chen Sicheng felt a little complicated when he saw this.

But he knew that he would never try martial arts movies and TV series easily in the future.
