Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 331 - Lots of questions
"Chen, can you and Barbara stand closer? You can easily pass a heavy truck in between."

Ms. Lindsay Holland, the royal photographer of the authoritative British film monthly "Sight and Sound" magazine, put down the camera, then raised her arms and repeatedly made the movement of gathering together.

Barbara stretched out her hand to support Chen Yu's shoulders and moved closer to the latter's side. At the same time, she had to pay attention to the corpses lying in different positions under her feet.

Barbara's left calf was still not completely swollen, so she needed to hide her left calf behind her right calf. The independent shape of the golden rooster gave her a sense of arrogance and coldness.

However, the original promotional script was to highlight the mutual hostility and aloofness between Barbara and Chen Yu, so this would not match the frequency.

After all, the emotions brewed by Chen Yu and Barbara were prepared according to the unmodified version of the script, so it would definitely take a period of time for the two to adjust on the spot.

If Chen Yu and Barbara were good at acting, they would be able to switch bands immediately and establish a connection, but their business capabilities simply cannot support that kind of high-end operation.

Therefore, Ms. Holland could only help the two people search for access points by constantly changing their shooting styles. Ms. Holland was accustomed to such embarrassing dilemmas.

Except for a few of the new generation of European and American actors born in the 1990s and 2000s, their professional abilities are generally weak or they are only suitable for certain themes and situations.

For example, Luc Besson believes that Chen Yu's comfort zone includes detective, crime, war and western themes in commercial films, plus romantic themes with a touch of light comedy.

Chen Yu can also be invited to feature films, but he cannot be given too many responsibilities in the work. He will either only be a node in the main plot or be a pretty boy.

As for comedies, don't look for Chen Yu, because comedies have more demanding requirements for acting skills and must also have a talent for comedy. There are very few such masters.

In addition, Chen Yu's super cute appearance will also make it more difficult to create a comedy atmosphere.

Stephen Chow once said that he can transform ugliness, handsomeness, beauty, and weirdness into nonsense, but he has never thought of incorporating the element of cuteness into his works.

Therefore, he will not join forces with Chen Yu, because the latter has nothing in common with him. On the contrary, if Dilraba wants to invest in his works, he is very welcome.

But the second half of the words sounded like a subtle mockery of Di Lieba.

Chen Yu rubbed his sore and stiff cheeks and shook his head while Barbara was holding an orange. He had to take three more sets of promotional photos with Keanu later, so he just wanted to take a nap.

It was almost 3:10 in the morning. Chen Yu felt a little tired after filming four one-shot action scenes at 7 o'clock last night until the promotional photos at 2 o'clock in the morning.

The overall actual progress of "Rapid Prepare" is always about a week ahead of the planned announcement. The main reason for this situation is that the action scenes are shot more smoothly the further back they are.

Chen Yu and Keanu finally entered the same band after a painful running-in and adaptation period.

Therefore, Chen Yu, who will fly to Paris tomorrow to join Dilraba Dilraba, can spend a few more days on the road from Paris to Morocco to adjust to the tension caused by work.

More than 90% of the announcement scenes of "Rapid Prepare" in New York were scenes that required staying up late, which made everyone very depressed every time they went to work.

Moreover, the overall style of this work was rather chilling and cold, which made all the cast and crew feel depressed and their enthusiasm began to decline.

Tomorrow Chen Yu will leave for Morocco from Paris, and the crew of "Rapid Prepare" will be divided into two groups and go to Morocco via Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage.

Keanu, who loves road motorcycles, would ride his bike from Amsterdam to Casablanca, Morocco, and go to a rock concert.

Barbara originally wanted to use this gap to go to Austria to participate in a fashion show, but her leg injury has not healed yet so she can only cancel the trip and follow the crew.

Director Chad Staelski is going to southern Italy to find some locations and interview three supporting actors for the currently-prepared "Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn".

Therefore, the crew's journey from New York to Morocco was more of a five-day holiday, and Chen Yu heard that Morocco had prepared many exciting activities to welcome the crew.

"Are you really going to ride alone?" Chen Yu, who rarely wore a suit at the filming site, stood with his back straight, and the staff around him took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Keanu shook his numb left arm and nodded with a relaxed expression. His usual way of relaxing his body and mind and regulating his emotions was to practice martial arts, ride a bicycle and wander around.

Although he also formed a rock band, it was just for fun. "Sirius" officially announced its disbandment in 2002, but privately it always had regular gatherings.

Chen Yu shook his shoulders slightly, slid sideways, and at the same time punched Keanu with a front hand jab, and said coquettishly that Amsterdam was the most famous city of love in the world.

It would be a waste of opportunity and putting the cart before the horse if Keanu only rode a motorcycle.

Keanu lowered his arm to block the blow and then quickly turned around to avoid a backhand straight punch. He said that according to his daily life schedule, it was not suitable for him to have sex at that time.

Chen Yu relied on the light pendulum to dodge the fist that hit his face. He was a little surprised and asked Keanu if men and women also have to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac based on the star time?

Keanu raised his left leg to let Chen Yu's sweeping kick go away. At the same time, he crossed his arms and raised his arms to block Chen Yu's one-handed downward chop. How could he, who is over fifty this year, waste his energy carelessly!

Chen Yu leaned back and took one step, just in time to exit the farthest attack radius of Keanu's whip leg. Then Chen Yu touched his waist and thought about how many rounds of ammunition he had reserved.

"I advise you not to use up all your save points in one battle to prepare for emergencies."

As Keanu spoke, he twisted his right leg and kicked Chen Yu in the abdomen. The moment the latter bent his elbow to block him, he followed up with a high-turning kick, but he failed to calculate the height difference.

Keanu 188, Chen Yu 176, the former's high sweep kick passed over the latter's head very smoothly and gracefully, and Chen Yu just stood there without making any defensive moves.

When Keanu retracted his legs, the whole audience started to boo, and Chen Yu also raised his index finger at him.

"Do we need to shoot again?" Chen Yu caught the soda water thrown by Barbara and turned around to ask Ms. Holland. The latter patted the camera and said that the photos were perfect.

"Sight and Sound" magazine has signed a confidentiality agreement with the crew, so it was allowed to shoot the action scenes and publish them for publicity. After all, only three photos could not reveal any secrets. Chen Yu took off his suit jacket and handed it to the stylist assigned to the set by Armani. After he and Keanu rested for ten minutes, he and Barbara would take a promotional photo of the three of them.

It was already 4:07 in the morning. According to Chen Yu's biological clock, he should have just woken up and prepared to go out for exercise.

Director Chad Starsky trotted over to greet Chen Yu and others. In thirty-five minutes, he would go to the airport to fly to Salerno to start his trip to Italy.

"Chen, what do you think of the superhero movies on the market?"

Director Chad and Chen Yu strolled to the quiet northwest corner of the shooting area.

Chen Yu doesn't watch any superhero movies except "Deadpool". His frankness made Director Chad speechless for a moment.

The project "Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn" intends to invite Chen Yu to join the crew, or it can be said that Margot Robbie, who is also the producer and starring, wants to invite Chen Yu.

The project "Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn" was the result of her hard work and lobbying from Warner Bros.

Margot Robbie hoped that Chen Yu could play the villain in the film, so she specifically asked the writing team to change the characters in the original comics to cater to Chen Yu's image.

Margot, who has a keen business sense, firmly believes that Chen Yu will make a career in Hollywood, so she wants to invest in him in advance to facilitate more frequent and in-depth cooperation in the future.

"I have no problem with playing a villain, but I don't want to participate in superhero movies." Chen Yu tilted his head and pouted.

Chen Yu believes that all American superheroes are mentally ill, including Deadpool.

Moreover, superhero movies always have a very explicit political tendency, which no matter which country’s screenwriter team dares to ridicule.

"If the clever writing team secretly makes fun of China, I don't want to be killed by it." Chen Yu raised his hands to make a mushroom cloud gesture.

When Director Chad heard what Chen Yu said, he stopped trying to persuade him. After all, this matter involved Chen Yu's vital interests.

Furthermore, the writing team of superhero movies does have some mental problems. Chad has contacted and collaborated with that group of people several times, so he agrees with Chen Yu's statement.

But in Chad's view, the project "Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn" organized by Margot Robbie has the potential to become a dark horse at the box office and is worth joining.

Chen Yu subconsciously looked around and then said in a low voice:

Margot Robbie plans to use boxing to market the film.

Director Chad was stunned and obviously did not realize the meaning of these words.

Chen Yu covered his lips with his fist and softly said Emma Watson's name.

Director Chad completely understood this time and took a breath.

If Margot Robbie really wants to move closer to feminism, then she has to consider whether to get involved.

Warner Bros.'s great business can withstand wind and waves, but it cannot withstand the impact of the anti-feminist group.

This rumor was specifically told to Chen Yu by Emanuel. Last Wednesday, Margot Robbie contacted Emanuel to discuss cooperation after receiving the authorization from Warner Bros.

Emmanuel felt that this young lady was too ambitious, so he conducted a private investigation.

As a result, many feminist activists who overlapped with Emma Watson were found among Margot Robbie’s associates.

“So your future partner is likely to be a female director who supports women’s rights.”

Chen Yu unbuttoned the collar and cuffs of his white shirt, then patted Chad's shoulder, whose expression was dull.

Director Chad knew that Chen Yu would not be able to joke about this kind of thing casually, so at this moment he felt very vague about the prospects of "Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn".

Things like women's rights are purely double-edged swords in European and American society. As long as you don't understand it, you will hurt others and yourself. Chad can't judge whether Margot Robbie has that ability.

After casually chatting about baseball and basketball with Chen Yu, he hurried out of the shooting area, probably thinking of ways to deal with it.

After hearing what Chen Yu said, Keanu pinched his little finger. He felt that Chen Yu's advice to Chad was very correct. Feminism is too dangerous and it is best not to get close or touch it.

Moreover, once this stuff gets on the body, it is difficult to wash it off. Chen Yu spread his hands to Keanu and said that Hollywood has always been full of opportunists and hoped that Chad could stay calm.

Chen Yu rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt to around his elbows and murmured softly:
If Margot Robbie can see the Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn project through to completion, she will completely get rid of the title of blonde beauty.

From a vase to a real actor,

If that's the case, Chen Yu wouldn't mind acting in the same frame as her partner.

It's always good to have someone to take you with you.

As for the issue of women's rights, it depends on whether this young lady can handle it cleanly.
