Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 325 - A nostalgic wedding scene
"Happy wedding, Diskerud." Chen Yu, wearing black casual clothes, greeted his old classmate loudly while holding a pile of boxes containing chocolates.

"It seems you need support, man." The groom tilted his head and whistled, then raised his eyebrows, but with his hands in his pockets, he had no intention of stepping forward to assist Chen Yu.

Chen Yu glanced at him pretending to be threatening, and the latter immediately possessed him, his body suddenly trembled, as if he had been hit by Chen Yu's heavy punch, and he gasped with a grin on his face.

Chen Yu pursed his thin lips and speechlessly stopped this poor performance, which was purely a formality. Fortunately, Diskerud chose to be a university teacher instead of pursuing his stage dream.

"I'm just a teaching assistant at the moment, but I also serve as the literary director of the school's opera troupe." Diskerud said proudly after helping Chen Yu put away the chocolates.

Chen Yu twitched the corners of his lips and then picked up a red grape from the fruit plate on the long table. He thought that the groom in front of him would go back to his hometown to find a job in the middle school of Anderson County.

By the way, Mr. Diskruder has been taking care of the auto repair shop that he has been running for 43 years. In addition, the pace and cost of life in Anderson County are slower and more affordable than in New York.

"My thoughts are the same as yours, but my beloved mother repeatedly warned me to stay away from my brother who has not yet graduated from middle school, otherwise she will invite me to take a bullet."

Hearing what his old classmate said, Chen Yu immediately turned his attention elsewhere. He and Diskerud often took the latter's younger brother to and from unruly places.

Chen Yu remembered that it was the two hot girls that he and Diskerud arranged to help the boy break his fourteen-year virginity career and officially become a Texas cowboy.

One short and one tall leaned against the long table and recalled the bad things they had done in the past two years for more than ten minutes. Then Diskerud asked Chen Yu to go to the backyard with a mysterious and obscene expression.

As a groom, Diskerud couldn't always trouble the bride to greet her on his behalf, and there was no need to be polite between him and Chen Yu, so he just left the latter behind and left.

Chen Yu deliberately acted extremely low-key and restrained in order not to steal the spotlight from the newlyweds, but he was still recognized by a handful of sharp-eyed guests, who then took photos and signed autographs.

Diskerud and his wife felt instantly relaxed and quickly ate something to replenish their energy. Chen Yu estimated that at noon, the media would make up explosive news about his marriage.

Rubbing his sore and stiff cheeks repeatedly, it took Chen Yu forty minutes to get out of the cocoon of guests who surrounded him, and then he hurried to the backyard.

It was the territory of a group of old classmates, and Chen Yu could temporarily get rid of the pain of being used as a human figure to set up signboards for everyone to visit and take pictures. This was more energy-consuming than a boxing match.

"Oh, look who's coming on stage!" The old classmates greeted each other very casually, and they all laughed and shouted Chen Yu's nickname when he was in elementary school:

Honey-boy!

Of course, the female voice was the loudest at the scene, while the male classmates all looked at Chen Yu with narrow eyes and made obscene gestures between cowboys.

No matter where they go, men born in the Lone Star Republic will never forget the cowboy blood and wilderness feelings flowing through their bodies.

This is essentially different from the cold feeling of Montanans in the northwest United States.

Chen Yu picked up the little girl who was running towards him, lifted her high and spun her around twice. The little girl's mother was the girl in the back seat of Chen Yu, and her father was the girl in the front seat of Chen Yu.

Texas has a somewhat unfriendly attitude toward this kind of family, but the three of them seem to be living a relaxed and happy life, and the quality of life is definitely good.

This is thanks to Mrs. Chen. Cheng Shiru will always lend a hand to help the women of the Lone Star Republic who are in trouble and are willing to face it bravely.

With a little support from Chen Yu’s mother in terms of funds and channels, the gift shop run by their family is gradually becoming the newest internet celebrity destination in Texas.

In particular, American women's rights organizations and associations that hold high the banner of "lesbian" are very willing to buy things from this gift shop, even if the shipping cost exceeds the payment of the goods themselves.

But this can allow members of such organizations and associations to obtain positive emotional values ​​such as spiritual encouragement, motivation and inner comfort.

Chen Yu couldn't understand this. He just felt that these ladies and young ladies were seriously ill, but he did not disclose this opinion to anyone. After all, this was serious discrimination.

After chatting casually with this special couple, Chen Yu joined a group of hooligans and sang "Blood on the Parachute Rope" loudly.

But Chen Yu, who was trying his best to sing well, sometimes rushed to take the shot, and sometimes fell behind, and everyone lost the rhythm. The whole song began to get completely out of control, making the girls laugh wildly.

Although he was glared at by the brothers around him, Chen Yu was still immersed in singing without any ups and downs in what he thought was the correct rhythm.

Because Chen Yu kept stirring up the chorus, "Blood on the Umbrella Rope" finally ended with uneven rhythm and tone.

Then Chen Yu was attacked by a group, and the scenes of chasing and fighting with each other seemed to bring time back to the youthful school days.

At this moment, Chen Yu is not a superstar who is worshiped by European and American people, but a cute boy who loves to wander around and wander around all day long, and is dedicated to studying fighting skills.

As a world-class boxing champion, Chen Yu cannot bow to challenges or surrender to his opponents, but Chen Yu can surrender with his hands raised.

"Huh, thank you, beauty." Chen Yu put his casual clothes on the back of the chair and took a sip of the soda water handed to him by the mixed-race girl next to him.

Such an alternative way of drinking water is related to Chen Yu's career. Ingesting too much water at one time during high-intensity training and competition is not conducive to physical resistance.

Kelsey Zhou quietly leaned over and looked at the old neighbor and old classmate in front of her. There was a time when she felt that the distance between herself and Chen Yu was very close, to the extent that girls all over Anderson County would envy her, but the world was always full of unknown changes.

Chen Yu's father was extremely disgusted with her patriarchal father, which led to the fact that the two families could only communicate on a daily basis and could not further develop their relationship.

After that, Chen Yu devoted himself wholeheartedly to professional fighting, and Kelsey couldn't watch Chen Yu train often because he had to focus on his studies. Gradually, the two of them became parallel.

While Chen Yu was emerging in the professional fighting circle, Kelsey also successfully entered Columbia University to study law and economics.

At the same time, she also got some opportunities in the film and television industry. Although they were all supporting roles or purely sideline heroines, she finally had some intersection with Chen Yu.

To be honest, after coming out of Anderson County, she had discovered that her liking for Chen Yu was more out of a desire to show off.

No girl in the same county is closer to Chen Yu than she is, which makes Kelsey always have a "sense of superiority" from the bottom of her heart. After all, her father is extremely patriarchal.

It wasn't until she went to college and came into contact with the film and television industry that Kelsey suddenly realized, wow, this is not what love looks like.

So now Kelsey wants to laugh when she sees Chen Yu. It turns out that from elementary school to high school, she has always regarded this cute boy as a warm baby and a magic fountain to find and gain self-confidence.

"What film and television projects are you working on recently?" Chen Yu turned around and asked Kelsey as he took a step forward to catch the apple thrown at him.

She has just finished filming "Wind Riverdale" co-starring Elizabeth Olsen, and is currently planning a forty-day trip back to her father's hometown of Taiwan.

The total filming cost of "Wind Riverdale" was less than $5 million, but it earned nearly $45 million in net box office revenue.

It has become one of Elizabeth Olsen's few masterpieces that has both box office and word-of-mouth success, and it has once again established director Taylor Sheridan's reputation in the industry.

As for why Director Taylor cast Kelsey, a third-tier actor, it was mainly because of her hometown relationship. Director Taylor is also a cowboy who was born and raised in the northeastern part of the Lone Star Republic.

"Rush" director Chad Staelski is also a native of Texas.

In fact, there are also regional factions in Hollywood. This is related to the federal system of the United States, but this phenomenon is not obvious. After all, major associations can play a mediating role.

The heroine of "Rapid Prepare for War" has not yet been determined, and Chen Yu intends to recruit his old classmate and neighbor to join the cast.

"I have good intentions, but I don't want to develop in the direction of a violent woman. Seeing Margot Robbie finish playing Harley Quinn and quickly take on other roles will dilute the audience's perception."

Kelsey quickly raised her arms and hugged her shoulders and shook her head at Chen Yu. Now she was not worried about the role, so she decisively refused.

This is the embarrassing dilemma currently faced by the crew of "Rapid Prepare". Hollywood's slightly famous female artists have expressed their indifference to pure action movies.

Kelsey's straightforward attitude was because she was very close to Chen Yu and no need to be polite.

"At this stage, Emma Roberts is the substitute to help out, but if she is really used, the script will have to be changed." Chen Yu sighed to Kelsey, who wrinkled her nose.

Emma Roberts' request was to completely turn her into a "little transparent" or only have limited interaction with Chen Yu.

In fact, she was also worried that she would not be able to climb out if she fell into the bottomless pit of pure action movies.

Emma Roberts was able to agree to the casting director's role as a reserve just because of Chen Yu's face.

Her performance on the big screen is already bad enough. If she is dragged into the whirlpool of pure action movies, then she will only have to return to the drama series to play the green tea bitch.

This is also an important reason why Emma Roberts imitated Chen Yu and became both an actress and a manager when she found the opportunity.

Chen Yu failed to win over his friend Kelsey, and the latter recommended to him a new series that Taylor Sheridan was preparing, which reflected the story of modern cowboys.

Including family relationships, career, as well as racial and political games, Chen Yu can play a key role in it, just like going to the northwest United States for vacation and sightseeing.

"The first season is planned to be officially launched in early May next year. Do you feel excited?" Kelsey tapped Chen Yu with her elbow.

If Chen Yu can join the crew, her voice will instantly increase a lot. This is called taking advantage of the situation.

It's a pity that Chen Yu doesn't like that damn place in Montana. If Taylor Sheridan places the main location in his hometown of Texas, Chen Yu might help.

"My God, the tax incentives given to the crew in Montana are much more generous than those in Texas, classmate Chen." Kelsey's words went straight to the core of the problem.

"Rapid Prepare" went to Morocco for location shooting because of tax incentives.

In order to promote tourism, the Moroccan government is even willing to give money to the crew of "Rapid Prepare".
