Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 345 - The twists and turns in the desert

The morning sun is rising, the cold wind is blowing, and the sand sea is deathly silent. A solitary fish is walking in the vast Western Sahara with unfocused eyes and staggering steps.

When he climbed over a sand dune with all his strength, he saw that the scenery on the vast road ahead was still the same, and then he fell down in frustration.

But at the last moment when Chen Yu gave up hope, a clear and melodious camel bell suddenly sounded in his ears, and he felt his body suddenly leaving the yellow sand.

"Very good!" Director Chad whistled. Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately put his hands on the camel's back, changed from lying down to riding, and then controlled the camel back to the shooting area.

Chen Yu, who has been running around on the big farm since he was six years old, learned how to get along with the desert boat and how to play happily in just three minutes.

On the contrary, Keanu, who is very smooth with road and off-road motorcycles, is not very good at controlling camels.

As a result, the crew had to find a substitute among local herders.

Barbara's unwillingness to come into contact with camels was due to psychological problems. She felt that camels were extremely dirty. Although Chen Yu and others found it difficult to understand, everyone chose to respect her.

Therefore, when the elders of the High Table met the three protagonists by chance, Barbara was airlifted back to the Sand Sea Oasis by helicopter, which was considered a gender benefit.

Director Chad secretly dismissed a handful of feminists. After all, late last month, he just made a fool of Margot Robbie, who was trying to get closer to feminism.

"I've resigned from my position as director of Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn, or that bitch Margot wanted to kick me out!"

Director Chad sat on the ground holding a dead branch and complained to Chen Yu. After he submitted his resignation, Margot immediately invited the Chinese female director Yuxi Yan to join the film.

Chen Yu had a slight impression of Yan Yuqian but not a good one. When he was directing "Floating City on the Sea" in Shanghai in March this year, he wanted to trouble Chen Yu to make a guest appearance in the film.

"Floating City on the Sea" tells the story of the fate of five little people during the implementation of reform and opening up. Chen Yu was afraid of getting burned, so he refused sternly.

Then the Chinese-American female director used this matter to make a big fuss, spreading the word that Chen Yu was unwilling to help support local art films and was biased and discriminatory.

It has to be said that Yan Yuqian, who was once a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, is indeed good at marketing. She took advantage of Chen Yu's popularity and made some small mistakes in her works.

Moreover, this sister also made a special trip to Dilraba to apologize to Dilraba after the filming of the film was completed in June. Dilraba did not hold Chen Yu accountable anymore because of the reputation of her alma mater.

Most of the actors in "Floating City on the Sea" either graduated from theater or are studying, are locals in Shanghai, or are second-generation film and television industry.

In addition, its producer is Jia Zhangke, who also has a close relationship with the show, so Dilraba said that she would leave the story at this point but asked Yan Yuqian to take away the gifts she brought.

At the same time, Dilraba also calmly refused to have in-depth cooperation with Yan Yuqian in the future, because she was used to living a good life and could not act with a sense of sadness.

This sentence is simply Dilraba saying that Yan Yuqian only engages in bad things like scar literature, deliberately discrediting China and then putting it on the international stage to please foreigners.

Although her husband is somewhat racist and ethnically discriminatory, Chen Yu always believes that Chinese people are the most awesome people in the world.

Chen Yu has always avoided having too much contact with the Yamenmen simply because he does not want to get involved in various entanglements at the institutional level.

Nowadays, Yao Ming, who is unhappy at both ends, and Zou Shiming, who sits in the office all day long and have nothing to do, are the best examples.

When Chen Yu had a private gathering with Yao Ming, Zou Shiming, and Tian Liang, even if Yao Ming drank Arctic Ocean, he could still complain from the moment he was served to the end of the party like he was drinking a lot of wine.

To be honest, Yao Ming had a lot of opinions on Chen Yu before, because Yao Ming felt that Chen Yu, who has both strength and prestige, should devote himself to China Sports.

But Chen Yu has always stayed away from the Chinese sports circle. Regardless of good or bad things, Chen Yu chooses to watch from the sidelines.

But when Yao Ming stepped into the sports system according to his own life plan, he truly admired Chen Yu's foresight and envied his leisurely and comfortable life.

"Please come back to your senses." Said Taghmaoud, the French actor who plays the elder of the High Table, patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

Although Said was here to make a guest appearance, he and Chen Yu got along very well and got along very happily because he was a professional boxer before changing his career.

Although this French man, whose ancestral home is Fez, Morocco, is not well-known in the North American film and television industry, he is a treasure-level match in the European and Middle Eastern film and television circles.

"The two of us will try to get the latest version of the lines right, and then we'll go to the boxing gym to do some exercise, so that you can experience the enthusiasm of Moroccan girls."

As expected of being nurtured and nurtured by the romantic city of Paris, every chat with him will revolve around sex and sensuality, without any positive energy at all.

Chen Yu has no charming thoughts about Moroccan girls. After all, Dilraba Dilraba squeezed him almost every night some time ago.

Chen Yu recently had a nightmare where he saw Dilraba undressing and taking off her clothes, and then viciously throwing herself down and bullying her. When she woke up in the morning, she was covered in sweat.

Said held the script in his hand and tapped his palms, "The fact that you were able to finish the nightmare from beginning to end shows that you still enjoyed the excitement and thrills very much."

Chen Yu was speechless and could only choose to change the topic and chat with Said about the new lines and their roles.

Chen Yu's character in "Rapid Prepare for War" is neither under the jurisdiction of the High Table nor has any relationship with other organizations and gangs. He is a bit self-employed. This is a line deliberately buried by Lionsgate, director Chad and the screenwriting team, so that they can continue filming with Chen Yu's character in the future.

Said's character is a dovish elder of the High Table who insists on using violence only as a last resort to solve problems.

And his character proposed to give the killer some free space, because the dove elders are basically former front-line personnel who are more familiar with the sufferings of the lower class.

On the contrary, the hawkish group is all from the administrative management ranks, or they are high-ranking major shareholders or conservative aristocrats.

Here you can see director Chad's hidden thoughts - to ridicule the current situation of American politics. Even if it is a pure action movie, he still has to include some private goods.

"I think the elders can be kind and powerful to Keanu's character, but there is no need to embarrass you who just collect money to do things, man." Said stroked his beard.

If you just look at the plot of "Ready for War", Chen Yu's character is definitely the purest person in the film: he can only get paid if he kills Keanu.

If Keanu fails to be dealt with properly, Chen Yu must be responsible for all the expenses incurred along the way. It is not easy for a self-employed person to make some money.

Said looked around and then asked Ms. Gloria to throw the white towel to him. He put it on his shoulders and crossed his legs to enter the role of the elder of the High Table.

Chen Yu put the script beside him and cooperated with him to start acting. As a self-employed person, Chen Yu had to show a sense of being generous.

Even when facing the High Table, he has to use a teasing tone to show the difference between him and Keanu.

But Said felt that Chen Yu's speech and behavior were a bit too frivolous, and his twisted posture was too deliberate.

"You can try putting one hand in your pocket and leaning slightly against the tent door, finding an angle with one foot inside the tent and the other outside the tent." Said suggested.

In fact, this is a type of body language, which will tell the attentive audience - Chen Yu's attitude towards the elders at this time, I only want money and will not participate in high-level infighting.

If the elder played by Said can pay more money, then Chen Yu's character can completely give up the pursuit mission.

"What do you think I should do in response to this provocative statement?" Said asked, adjusting the white towel on his shoulder.

Chen Yu was very self-aware and he didn't dare to give advice to others about his business ability, so he just pursed his thin lips and spread his hands towards Said.

Director Chad, who went into the rest area to replenish water, said that the elder would only smile kindly. This was not because he was looking down upon Chen Yu, but because he was unable to help.

Even if the elder is a dove and opposes the High Table's excessive use of force, he cannot openly challenge the High Table's decision.

"Wow, this made me see the funny expressions of those politicians on Capitol Hill trying to force themselves to smile." After Chen Yu finished speaking, Director Chad turned around and gave him a high-five.

Director Chad put his arm around Chen Yu's shoulders and told Said that although the elders could not betray the High Table, they could secretly dig pits for the hawks.

For example, the elder used the excuse of having breakfast together to hold Chen Yu while quietly letting Keanu go, and then gave Chen Yu three gold coins when he was ready to set off.

The elders create trouble for the hawks in the High Table without making any excuses. This has been the basic way of playing American politics for the past century.

Although the method is not spectacular, it is economical and extremely difficult to cause an irreconcilable conflict between the two factions.

Director Chad teased Capitol Hill with just three short scenes in "Ready for War" in which Said meets, eats and bids farewell to Chen Yu.

It is true that he lives up to the title of a new generation of crooked talents in the North American directing circle, but Chad actually did this just to please himself.

Mainstream European film awards believe that Chad's criticism is implicit, or that it only stays in the vulgar stage of amusing people.

Mainstream North American film awards felt that Chad's goal was too vague, or that he included both the Democratic and Republican parties.

Therefore, neither party will award Chad's work an award.

But Lionsgate, who is almost as pissed off as Director Chad, is bold enough to directly decide to ignore all mainstream film awards in Europe and North America.

I didn't even sign up for "Rapid Prepare", so no one can even think about making irresponsible remarks at the award ceremony.

Anyway, Chen Yu, Keanu, Barbara and the entire crew have no interest in judging awards or walking on the red carpet.

Moreover, there is no clause in the employment contract to sign up for the award. In addition, the acting skills of the three protagonists are not eligible for the award.

I was busy from about 4 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock at noon. Today's shooting notices were all completed on time and an extra set of action scenes were captured.

"Go to the boxing gym directly or clean up your personal hygiene first?" Said turned around and asked Chen Yu while packing his backpack.

Chen Yu pointed out that his hair was like a chicken coop and it was self-evident.
