Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 409 - Rogue Lawyer
"Chen, your expression needs to be calmer and calmer. It should show that killing is only part of your job and is so numb that it is not worth mentioning at all."

David Leitch, the director of "Deadpool II: I Love My Family," stood in front of Chen Yu and slightly raised the corners of his lips, but his demonstration was somewhat of a Deadpool style.

At this time, Reynolds stepped forward and gave a reference answer by slightly raising his eyebrows and lightly wiping his chin, with his eyes looking far away and his relaxed stance.

Chen Yu rubbed his cheeks and stood up. While imitating Reynolds, he also added an ear to listen to the rapid breathing movements and tired expression of the desperate man.

Director Leitch walked around Chen Yu and looked at him carefully, and then said that this was the effect he wanted: treating human life like weeds.

The reason why director Leitch designed Chen Yu's character to be a rogue lawyer was to satirize the U.S. Constitution and the constitutional spirit and concepts of fairness and justice.

Chen Yu's character is a tribute to the film "The Devil's Advocate", but only borrows a little bit of the latter's character concept and incorporates Leitch's original ideas.

Although Chen Yu is indiscriminate for money, he attaches great importance to friendship and commitment, so he will help Deadpool and Connor for free.

"Actually, in terms of universal values ​​and morals, your character is still a villain and is the target of the Avengers." Director Leitch waved his fist.

And this is the second item that Director Leitch wants to ridicule. The Avengers are not the embodiment and banner of justice or justice.

The Avengers will also purge hidden villains who oppose them, such as Deadpool and Chen Yu and Connor's characters.

It's just that Deadpool's ability is too powerful, and as long as Chen Yu and Connor's characters can't kill with one hit, they are guaranteed to have future troubles, so the three of them can be spared.

Director Leitch hopes to express his hate to be defined by humans or society through "Deadpool II": there is no absolute justice and pure evil in the world.

Chen Yu's character is to kill innocent people indiscriminately to make profits, but he is also willing to go through fire and water because of friendship, and even does some business to save the earth for free.

Therefore, the characters in "Deadpool II" cannot be simply described and summarized as good or bad, so this is also a challenge for Chen Yu's acting skills.

"You must walk calmly on the edge of good and evil. You must be more insensitive when killing people and stealing goods. Likewise, you must show awkwardness when doing good things to others."

Director Leitch explained to Chen Yu the core of the role of a rogue lawyer and helped Chen Yu understand and enter the character's inner world.

In fact, this is not the first time that Director Leitch and Chen Yu have collaborated and met for the first time. The former served as the producer of the "John Wick" series.

In addition, he is also the director and producer of an action movie starring Chen Yu, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, which is expected to start filming in early April next year.

Therefore, Director Leitch regards Chen Yu's friendly appearance in "Deadpool II" as a preview to get along well with Chen Yu, and he attaches great importance to it.

"In the next sequence of scenes, you need to show the despicable side that values ​​money but not love. You can think of "The Hateful Eight" to get a feel for it." Director Leitch wiped his sweat.

The scene of the killing scene was in the back alley of Chen Yu's office. Filming the beating scene first and then acting in the literary scene allowed Chen Yu to show the fatigue and irritability of the character.

At twelve o'clock at noon, a man and woman gently knocked on the exquisite and beautiful carved frosted glass door, which was painted with angels, knights, stars and crosses.

It gives people a very tranquil and peaceful visual impression and psychological suggestion, which makes the couple outside the glass door calm down a little and stop sweating.

"Please come in, sir, and this beautiful one. I'm sorry, what should I call you?" There are too many old couples and young wives these days, and Chen Yu is too lazy to distinguish between them.

He is just a small lawyer who takes money to do things, not Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, or Miss Marple.

A fifty-three-year-old man and his twenty-year-old only daughter came to seek help from Chen Yu. The beautiful girl was blackmailed by a local gang for $200,000.

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for the father and daughter to sit down and chat. At the same time, he used the opportunity of getting drinks for the two of them to make some basic judgments to help him charge better.

Although the father and daughter are dressed simply but neatly, their speech is clear and not sloppy. The man's sitting posture is very formal, while the daughter's is a little tight.

He is well-educated, his job is very respectable, and the most important thing is that he should be able to spend two hundred thousand dollars easily!
"Very good! You controlled the characters very well in this part, man." Director Leitch walked steadily to the shooting area and praised Chen Yu without hesitation.

The guest star is the German supermodel and actress Josephine van Delden, who was born in 1997 as the girl who is blackmailed by the gang. This young lady with an altitude of 179 looked down at Chen Yu even after putting on high-heeled shoes, but she was very sensible and took the initiative to put on a pair of flat shoes and let her hair down before turning on the camera.

Josephine, who was exposed to movies for the first time, felt very natural in the camera, and as her main job is a supermodel, she is very good at using small movements to quietly show off her good figure.

After adjusting the camera position and lighting, the shooting continued. However, as soon as the board was set, Chen Yu forgot the words to say and could only follow the general idea.

At this time, Josephine, who had only participated in one short series, showed her lack of adaptability on the spot and failed to catch Chen Yu's lines and froze in front of the camera.

Chen Yu raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem, and Josephine also stood up and apologized to Chen Yu and his surrounding colleagues, with a very good attitude.

Chen Yu silently read the script and then walked back to the camera position, then looked back to see if Josephine was ready.

"Sir, if you don't mind, can you talk about why your daughter was blackmailed by bad guys?" Chen Yu poured slightly sweet orange juice for the two of them.

If the victim is the girl's father, then Chen Yu will give him a glass of single-bud whiskey or rum.

But a girl needs to use sweet drinks to relieve her tension instead of letting alcohol numb her nerves.

"Okay, Mr. Lawyer, I will tell you the truth." The man took a sip of juice and pondered for a moment to organize his words.

What happened was actually very simple. His daughter went out with her classmates and got drunk. Not only was she forcibly assaulted, she was also videotaped and photographed.

After the man finished speaking, the girl held the empty cup and looked at Chen Yu. Chen Yu smiled like a boy next door and asked her if she wanted more juice or whiskey.
Hearing this, the man glanced at Chen Yu and hesitated to speak. In the United States, you can only drink alcohol if you are over 21 years old.

Otherwise, the person involved and the adults around him or her who did not stop him or her will all be punished by law.

"I am a lawyer and will not take myself to court, but as her father, you should turn a blind eye or close your eyes appropriately." Chen Yu pointed at the whiskey.

The girl said she didn’t know who planned all of this. There was no evidence left in her body that night, and there were no clues from the videos and photos.

After saying this, the girl took a sip of single bud whiskey. Chen Yu could guarantee that this girl often violated the U.S. Constitution, but now he had more important and urgent things.

"With all due respect, could you please let me see the video and photos? My profession is a bit similar to that of a detective. Maybe I will find some small details."

Chen Yu's expression was tired and his eyes were slightly dim, but his tone was very gentle and calm.

The man was hesitant, but the girl readily agreed because she felt that the super cute Chen Yu was not a bad person.

Although the content in the video and photos made her extremely ashamed, the problems that had already occurred must be solved.

Chen Yu took a pink tablet and a folder, and then Josephine, who had a weird expression and winked, laughed.

Because the so-called forcibly violated video is actually a scene of lions mating from the documentary "Pulse of the Earth".

In fact, Director Leitch originally wanted to use the most classic "Dirty Deal" in the French "Woodpecker" series instead.

Unfortunately, the copyright was not negotiated and had to be dropped. Josephine didn't mind having a larger-scale shot of herself, but Director Leitch didn't think it was necessary to deliberately shoot it.

In addition, the copyright of the borrowed "Pulse of the Earth" has not been obtained, and the pink tablet is Josephine's personal belongings.

Chen Yu sat in the armchair and watched the cartoon "He-Man" with Josephine while accepting the make-up artist's instructions.

"Watching intense action movies requires your face to turn a sickly flush or rose-red color."

As the makeup artist spoke, he asked Chen Yu to recall the appearance and state of his fiancée when she was excited.
