Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 369-Suppress first and then increase
The media open day of the crew of "Operation Icebreaker" always attracts a large number of domestic and foreign reporters.

The truth gave the staff responsible for verifying documents, managing sign-ins, distributing drinks, and maintaining order a headache.

Eighty percent of the domestic media who lined up to enter the venue took the initiative to make an appointment and then spontaneously sent a team to interview. The other 20% were invited by the crew to serve as the atmosphere team.

The cast and crew of "Operation Icebreaker" will give priority to answering questions from the atmosphere group. Because the atmosphere group works for a fee, the questions prepared are very gentle and simple.

As for the more than ten mainstream media from South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and other regions, their banners are generally: exchange, observation and learning.

But it’s hard to tell whether these guys are responsible for their own food, accommodation and travel expenses or whether the crew of “Operation Icebreaker” will reimburse them. Anyway, “Operation Icebreaker” has already left the entertainment industry and traveled to Southeast Asia.

Before the more than 70 foreign reporters entered the set, four pieces of information about "Operation Ice Breaking" suddenly appeared on the Weibo hot search list, and they all ranked in the top fifteen.

At present, these things have not been related to Chen Yu, because he is being tortured by the fashion magazine "Zhizu" with teachers Wang Jinsong, Wu Gang and Ning Li.

Because he was sitting in an uncomfortable high chair, Chen Yu often twisted his back and waist to adjust his posture, which was in stark contrast to the quiet three teachers.

At the same time, Chen Yu's style of answering questions has not changed. He just reads word for word according to the pre-written manuscript. Teacher Wu Gang purses his lips and snickers every time Chen Yu speaks.

Teacher Wang Jinsong used a tea cup to cover up the smile lines on his lips. On the contrary, Teacher Ning Li's serious face and frown seemed to express his dissatisfaction with Chen Yu's behavior.

In fact, Teacher Ning Li is a very humorous person in private, but because of his very weak relationship with Chen Yu, Wu Gang, and Wang Jinsong, he seems very aloof.

The science group and the drama group in the crew had cooperated when they were trying to suppress director Li Jinrui. After the two families kicked director Li Jinrui out, the confrontation resumed.

Therefore, in the current interview, Chen Yuliuhao and Ning Li kept pretending to be serious without asking, while Wu Gang and Wang Jinsong were chatting with the magazine editor while drinking tea.

The photographer responsible for taking the interview photos for "Wisdom" magazine can only compose the photos in individual units. If the whole picture is framed directly, the picture will look fragmented.

In fact, the editor of the magazine is also extremely disgusted with the untidy work of interviewing groups. After all, she is not Ip Man and she has worked hard to take care of the four people in front of her. It is already very difficult to take care of the four people in front of her.

Since the magazine converts the interview content into text first and then displays it to readers, Chen Yunian immediately threw the manuscript to the editor after giving her three answers and asked her to take it back and excerpt it.

Then Chen Yu stood up, swung left and right to stretch his muscles, and then moved four sofa chairs so that Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong, and Ning Li could no longer sit on the broken stools that strained their waists.

Ning Li said thank you to Chen Yu calmly and imitated him in handing the manuscript to the magazine editor, while Wu Gang and Wang Jinsong added plates of pistachios and continued their useless chatter.

The team of "Zhizu" magazine also realized that the interview that had just started less than twenty-five minutes had ended, and none of the four people in front of them were willing to go through the motions.

After all, they have no real need for fashion resources. As a favorite and eye-catcher in the European and American fashion circles, Chen Yu is too lazy to care about the Chinese fashion industry.

Because the parent companies of most Chinese fashion magazines are in Europe and the United States, to be honest, the domestic version of "Zhizu" was able to put Chen Yu on the cover to promote itself.

As powerful actors, Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong, and Ning Li speak for themselves based on their professional skills. The addition of fashion resources to them is just the icing on the cake.

For uncles like them who have acting skills, whether they have fashion resources or not, it has no additional impact on film and television projects and endorsement business.

After all, the audience they can mobilize will not be like young people who buy things that are out of touch with life to chase stars.

Therefore, Chen Yu, Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong and Ning Li basically have the same attitude towards Zhizu magazine, that is, they do not refuse but they do not cooperate.

"Wisdom" and "Esquire" took the initiative to contact the crew to apply for interviews. In the end, "Wisdom" squeezed out its competitors because of its relatively strong public relations efforts.

In fact, everyone knew very well who "Wisdom Tribe" was targeting, so after seeing Chen Yu's lazy posture, the three teachers also took off their disguises one after another.

At this point, the team of "Wisdom" magazine had no choice but to premise the entire plan as a whole, abandon formalistic interviews, and directly organize the four men to take individual photos and group photos.

"Please, everyone please wear Chinese tunic suits." The person in charge of this photography was Wang Ziqian, a new generation female photographer from China who focuses on frankness and naturalness.

While Wang Ziqian was directing the staff to arrange the scene, she also went to Chen Yu to say hello because she learned from her senior sister Chen Man how troublesome Chen Yu was.

Fortunately, she had recently photographed the covers of "Marie Marie" and "Red Show" for Guli Nazha and Song Zuer respectively, so she could indirectly have some relationship with Chen Yu.

In addition, she used her identity as Chen Man's junior sister to ask Chen Yu to cooperate a little. Her combination of punches made Chen Yu serious.

Because of Bruce Lee's relationship, Chen Yu disliked wearing Mao suits to attend events.

Moreover, the Chinese tunic suit will also make Chen Yu look very sharp and highlight his aggressiveness.

This goes against and conflicts with the theme of most ceremonies, parties, and banquets.

Furthermore, Chen Yu's Chinese tunic suit can easily limit Dilireba's choice of dresses, causing the latter to either match a cheongsam or an improved version of a traditional long skirt.

But the problem is that Dilraba's facial features do not fit well with these two versions of clothing. Therefore, due to the above factors, Chen Yu rarely wears Mao suits in public.

Of course, this time was no exception. Even though Wang Ziqian repeatedly told all four men to wear Chinese tunic suits, in the end Chen Yu still chose the retro version of the suit. Chen Yu's worth and status gave him the ability to be willful, so Wang Ziqian wisely did not dwell on the matter but designed his movements and positions with a positive and enthusiastic attitude.

"You'd better not wear that Irish newsboy hat."

Teacher Wu Gang looked Chen Yu up and down and made suggestions.

Because this hat will subconsciously focus on the area between Chen Yu's eyes and nose, causing the hidden aggression in Chen Yu's eyes to be exposed.

It is inconsistent with the core theme of this issue of "restrained edge, hard to distinguish between black and white".

The insight displayed by Teacher Wu Gang is the basic quality that a good actor should possess.

As a professional photographer, Wang Ziqian also agreed very much with Teacher Wu Gang's views, so she asked Chen Yu to hold a hat to cover his chin and turn slightly sideways to imply hiding.

Because Chen Yu didn't hold back for the sake of Guli Nazha, Song Zuer and Chen Man, the solo photo session was completed forty-three minutes earlier than originally planned.

Moreover, the quality of the pictures is very high: Chen Yu, who holds back his emotions while showing signs of exhaustion, Wang Jinsong, who has deep eyes but a warm expression;

Wu Gang is calm but unpredictable;
The ruffian-like appearance contains a touch of helpless rationality.

Wang Ziqian had to admit that actors and entertainers were indeed better than professional models when taking such photos. Even someone of Chen Yu's level could accurately respond to her needs.

Compared with the smooth solo photo session, these four guys were a bit playful when taking group photos.

First, Chen Yu took the initiative to refuse to stand in the middle, and then the two teachers, Wu Gang and Wang Jinsong, also humbly allowed Ning Li to move to the middle.

Naturally, Ning Li couldn't fall for the drama gang's trick, so he kicked the ball back to Chen Yu.

In fact, it was natural for Chen Yu to take the center position, but Chen Yu, who saw Wu Gang and Wang Jinsong's intentions, also teased Ning Li with the two teachers.

For a time, the rest area was full of old people and young people, so the team of "Zhizu" magazine could only stand and wait with a wry smile.

The four of them spent twenty minutes arguing about their positions.

But in the end, they still catered to Wang Ziqian's original plan.

On a brown couch that was deliberately made old by the crew's props team, Wu Gang, whose movements were restrained, and Wang Jinsong, who was relaxed, sat on the left and right with a pile of Go pieces as a boundary.

Chen Yu, with gray eyes, stood sideways behind Wang Jinsong;

Ning Li, with a dull expression, stood respectfully next to Wu Gang with his hands lowered.

The Prince Qianshou camera excitedly shot five groups continuously from different angles with various lighting. Although these four guys were really crazy when they were doing things, they could get into the mood just by turning their heads.

From five o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock at noon, both Chen Yu and the team of Zhizu magazine could finally relax.

As for things like retouching and film review, these four men didn't care. They just asked Wang Ziqian's team to sort it out and contact their assistants directly.

The latter was so moved that he wanted to kneel down to Chen Yu, Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong and Ning Li.

There are not many good people like them in the Chinese entertainment industry at present, and most of them will find trouble with the photography team before the film is released.

Moreover, the more famous and new artists are, the more critical they become in this aspect, and they would like to take a microscope to check each one on site.

Some artists even ask the photography team to delete their scrapped films after polishing them, which is completely treating the photography team as thieves.

Therefore, when Wang Ziqian saw that the four masters didn't care about the later stage, she felt that all the sins she suffered this morning were worth it!
Then Wang Ziqian took out his mobile phone to edit a Weibo [Perhaps this is part of the reason why they can become good actors: chic and confident. 】

The accompanying picture shows the backs of these four men walking out of the rest area.

Chen Yu and the others wandered to the door of the dressing room and dispersed on the spot to go about their duties. Wu Gang and Wang Jinsong had four scenes in the afternoon and had to take time to eat and rest.

Ning Li couldn't get along with the three of them, so he found a place to study the script and figure out the characters by himself. Chen Yu had completed more than 90% of the scene, so he would go back to the United States tomorrow.

"When you come back, we'll be wrapping up soon."

Teacher Wang Jinsong took the coat from Chen Yu and handed it back to the crew's costume warehouse manager.

Chen Yu stretched his waist and looked forward to arriving earlier that day.

But it was chief director Fu Dongyu who arrived early and asked him to help deal with foreign reporters.
