Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 284 - Losing ideas and being worthy

Facing the ball hanging towards him, Chen Yu gently used the arch of his foot to pull back slightly to stop it, then leaned forward and pointed to the desk in the study room.

Emmanuel, who was wearing a Real Madrid top and Tottenham shorts, was stunned for a moment and then twitched the corner of his mouth. He had already realized what Chen Yu wanted to express.

The "Xining Youth Film Festival" to be held in mid-July this year sent an invitation letter to Chen Yu, hoping that he would make time to attend as a guest.

It seemed that the organizing committee was planning to let him present the award, but it seemed that Chen Yu absolutely did not want to go.

Chen Yu picked up the football with the tip of his shoe and flew into the air. That little film festival dared to lick his face and ask him to come over. Did the organizing committee overestimate itself?

Chen Yu stretched out his instep and passed the football to Emmanuel with a flick of his outside foot. The latter stopped the football with the sole of his shoe and quickly marked it on the memo.

He plans to respond to the stupid organizing committee of this film festival at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, Yanjing time.

After all, this very beautiful electronic invitation was sent just two hours ago. It would be rude to reject it immediately.

After Emmanuel passed the football to Chen Yu, he asked him if he wanted to attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards?

"It is currently scheduled to be held in mid-September, and the location has been set in Hohhot. You and Tong Liya will present the trophy and certificate to [Best Supporting Actor]."

Emmanuel briefly recalled the content of the invitation and said loudly, but Chen Yu's response was still shaking his head and waving his hands followed by the word "no".

You didn’t even join in the fun with your work?
Moreover, in mid-September, he should be traveling back and forth between the crew of "Operation Icebreaker" and the crew of "Quick Preparation", so there is no time for him to desert again.

When he has time to rest, Chen Yu prefers to hang out with Reba. Taking a quiet nap in the arms of a beauty is so leisurely and comfortable, so let the Golden Rooster Award go away.

In addition, Chen Yu has no intention of appearing on the big screen in China, so there is no need for him to take this kind of film festival too seriously.

If the three European awards or the American Golden Globes send invitations to Chen Yu, then he must treat them with caution.

This is not a mainstream film award by Chen Yu that worships foreigners and despises China. It is simply because the market and audience for his works are in Europe and the United States.

In order to support the market for his works, Chen Yu may even go to South Korea to attend the awards ceremony. Currently, Blue Dragon and the Baeksang Arts Awards are contacting Emmanuel.

Daejong, on the other hand, has a deep relationship with the South Korean government, so it must watch the direction of diplomatic trends.

If bilateral relations become warmer or warmer, Dazhong will definitely try his best to invite Chen Yu to attend this year's awards ceremony.

The main promotion target of "Knives Out" in Asia is Korea and Japan, plus Southeast Asian countries.

Followed by the United Arab Emirates, which is relatively secular in West Asia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Israel.

As for China, North Korea, India and Iran, they are not included in Lionsgate Pictures' "expectation zone" revenue plan.

After all, multiple surveys from different dimensions have shown that audiences in these countries have an almost dispensable attitude toward pure detective films.

Therefore, Lionsgate Pictures does not want to waste energy and material resources to promote in these countries.

In addition, one of them is very closed, and even if you want to enter, you can't knock on the door.

Nowadays, if Hollywood studios plan to go to North Korea, they can only ask Mr. Yang Shoucheng. Yes, he is the boss of Emperor.

A small incident can illustrate how terrifying his social circle and network are:
At present, the only luxury casino in North Korea that is operated by Zhengda Guangming is owned by Mr. Yang Shoucheng.

Ninety percent of international tourists will visit Rason City in North Korea after visiting it. The dealers and bartenders there are likely to be the children of certain officials.

Therefore, Lionsgate, which did not have the ability and did not want to cause any trouble, naturally chose to give up on North Korea.

The Chinese market has never been interested in Hollywood's detective works, and the success of the popular "Sherlock Holmes" series has been very average.

After deducting the 40% share and tax burden, Warner Bros. Pictures did not make much in the Chinese market.

Lionsgate decided to learn from its experience and avoid becoming the laughingstock of its peers.

"So Director Ryan's original plan to make two versions was also stopped by Lionsgate?" Emanuel flicked the ball twice.

Chen Yu beckoned him to mark the low-arc lob. The two-shot plan previously formulated to deal with the radio and television review was terminated at Ryan's own request.

Because after seeing some of the shots that had been shot, he felt that the logic did not make sense, or maybe Ryan felt that the version sent for review was too fragmented.

"Therefore, both he and Lionsgate decided to use the original version for review. If they can get China's release permission, they will show it. Otherwise, they will not go to public relations."

Chen Yu slightly raised his chest to bring the ball down, and then bumped the ball with his feet in a very fancy move.

Emmanuel took this opportunity to call his chief assistant and tell him to decline the Golden Rooster Award.

"I will fly to Munich the day after tomorrow to attend the boxing match press conference. Kimura Sho will also appear at that time. Remember to show him some strength and warm up the boxing match in advance."

Emmanuel used his knee to cushion the ball and at the same time winked at Chen Yu. Chen Yu was an expert on how to provoke his opponent to trigger a conflict on the spot.

But this time Chen Yu was in particular trouble. Sho Kimura being hailed as a boxing gentleman by the North American audience was not a derogatory but a compliment.

Chen Yu and the coaching team reviewed his information and videos.

I found that this grandson has never actively provoked his opponents since his debut, and he has never responded to any criticism from his opponents.

Kimura Sho focuses all his attention on the boxing match itself, which is quite similar to "if a person is unknown, he can concentrate." "This type of defective product is the most frustrating. I can't directly greet his mother or wife at the press conference, right?"

Chen Yu always adheres to the competitive principle of not insulting his opponent's family. If he makes a fuss about his Japanese identity from the beginning, it will be equivalent to exposing his trump card.

"The hatred of the country and the family" was Chen Yu's excuse for taking the initiative to start a group when there was no way to stimulate conflict in the end.

Even after just listening to it, Emmanuel felt that Kimura Sho's mentality was too stable, and he was indeed like a tortoise.

Trash talk between boxers does not go beyond calling each other a noob, a coward, or a loser.

You can't say that sissies are absolutely prohibited from mentioning any offenses or feelings, because this will put you in a whirlpool of sexism.

Chen Yu kicked the ball into the swimming pool, and then complained in a low voice about how the professional boxing circle could allow deaf-mute people to compete.

"The four major boxing associations are also improving the quality of professional boxers, and then further promoting and expanding the sport of boxing." Emanuel speculated.

Otherwise, as Chen Yu said, deaf-mute people like Kimura Sho would never have had the opportunity to step into the boxing ring before.

"Wait a minute, man." Chen Yu, who was weighing soda bottles, suddenly stopped Emmanuel, who was about to watch an adult variety show.

Since Kimura Sho cannot be made furious, is it okay to stimulate his coaching team?
Chen Yu threw the soda bottle in his hand to Emmanuel, who leaned forward slightly to catch it and unscrew the cap.

As long as the scene becomes chaotic, I don't believe Kimura Sho can still sit still. Then Chen Yu can definitely make a few gestures with him.

Emmanuel felt that Chen Yu's plan was very feasible, and he could also bribe some reporters to cooperate with Chen Yu's actions.

"Toyota will probably prevent us from wooing the on-site media." This kind of dirty trick is a favorite technique in the fighting and boxing circles.

Chen Yu believes that Toyota must take corresponding measures in advance.

Emmanuel threw the soda bottle back to Chen Yu and then took out his cell phone and shook it lightly.

Although Chen Yu has joined the well-established capital circles in Europe and the United States, it is more fair to leave the work of causing trouble to Toyota directly to BMW and Sony.

After all, there are strict hierarchies in the capital circle. Now Chen Yu has only successfully entered the threshold but not entered the palace.

Chen Yu turned sideways and raised his eyebrows at Emmanuel, asking him to contact BMW for operation.

And he has to think carefully about how to provoke and stimulate the members of Sho Kimura's coaching team.

The vintage quartz clock on the west wall of the suite was ticking, and Chen Yu had been standing silently for two hours before he knew it.

Accompanied by Emmanuel's brisk and melodious whistle, Chen Yu exited the despicable state where his mind was constantly full of risky ideas.

BMW agreed very happily.

Although he did not make a 100% commitment out of caution, Emanuel believes that BMW will definitely do its best.

Discussion of the boxing match is suspended for now.

Emmanuel began to tell Chen Yu about a series of itineraries in South Korea.

"I remember that I should go to South Korea first and then hold a press conference, right?" Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose and looked out the window.

Emmanuel threw a backhand punch, and then laughed and said that he had moved forward the press conference where he had a conflict with Kimura Sho, so that he could gain a lot of goodwill by going to South Korea.

There have always been anti-Japanese sentiments and groups among the Korean people, including some well-known figures in the film and television industry.

Although Chen Yu didn't need to show favor to those servants of the Heavenly Kingdom, the goodwill he had already poured into his mouth must not be wasted.

Furthermore, this is also preparation for the promotion of "Knives Out" in South Korea at the end of this year.

As the male lead, Chen Yu becomes more popular and admired, and the marketing effectiveness of "Knives Out" increases.

Emmanuel handed the apple to Chen Yu. There were currently three variety shows for the latter to choose from.

Although "Running Man" is getting older and stronger, Emanuel does not recommend that Chen Yu get involved in it;
"New Journey to the West" is very popular in South Korea, but the name of this program is very likely to cause trouble. Emmanuel does not want Chen Yu to be criticized by Chinese audiences for cultural infringement;

"Knowing Brothers" is a program that has suddenly emerged. It has been tepid in the early stage and then suddenly became popular. After watching the highlights, Emmanuel felt that it was ordinary.

Chen Yu acted very indifferent, no matter which variety show he participated in, he was just a fool.

"You also made such promises before going to "Flowers and Boys Season 3", but ended up causing a lot of trouble in it."

Emmanuel glanced sideways at Chen Yu, who was holding an apple in his mouth, and then curled his lips in disdain and whispered in a disdainful voice.

Chen Yu pursed his thin lips and then said that it was because the program team gave him more money and he had to be worthy of the RMB.

"Oh, you are so worthy of me."

Emmanuel is smiling but not smiling.
