Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 423 - Nonviolence and Non-Cooperation

Work ended relatively early today. At around 4pm, Jiang Xin said goodbye to Dilraba, Chen Yu and the recording team to catch a flight back to the Hengdian crew.

Originally, Chen Yu planned to go to the stadium with director Zhao Qi and photographer Yang Miao to watch Urumqi middle school students play a game, but they were detained in the hotel.

Dilraba is going to take Chen Yu to the recording studio to practice the songs she will collaborate on at Blueberry Channel’s New Year’s Eve concert, and to finish dinner on the way.

Dilireba, who had just returned to her hometown in Urumqi, ate so much spicy food that small pimples kept appearing on her beautiful back. Then she complained about why Chen Yu didn't stop her behavior!

Chen Yu very innocently said that he had no say in the food aspect. Every time he advised Dilraba to use the right amount of spicy food, she was either ignored or ridiculed.

Chen Yu cleared his throat, then adjusted his sitting position, and began to imitate Dilraba's sinister tone and behavior. He only said three words before being interrupted by the bra thrown by Dilraba.

"Hurry up and change your clothes. I made an appointment with the studio to be there on time at 6:10 p.m." Dilraba threw her underwear to the lazy Chen Yu again.

Mango Channel has agreed that Chen Yu can lip-sync, and can even directly play the original sound according to the specific situation at the scene, but Blueberry Channel still insists on letting Chen Yu try a semi-open mic.

So Tan Yizhe, the music director of Blueberry Channel's New Year's Eve concert, personally flew in to give Chen Yu face-to-face guidance. To be honest, Dilraba didn't like the effect of such effort.

Previously, Mr. Lao Zai and Mr. Liang Qiaobai were helpless against Chen Yu. Now, Tan Yizhe, who is slightly inferior in professional skills, will probably be in vain to fight against the enemy.

But if these negative energies are full of negative energy, Dilireba still cannot directly point it out to Blueberry TV and teacher Tan Yizhe. After all, Chen Yu is her husband and she must save some face for him.

Therefore, Dilraba tactfully told the Blueberry Channel through the studio to ask the Mango Channel next door why it was quick and simple for Chen Yu without adding any additional difficulty.

Unfortunately, Blueberry TV has never cooperated with Chen Yu, so it lacks the painful experience and lessons of being tortured by the latter, so it is very determined to compete with Chen Yu.

Dilraba was extremely helpless and asked her assistant Keke to transfer the live video of the previous New Year's Eve party on Mango Channel to Blueberry Channel, so that the latter could see how perfunctory Chen Yu was.

He lip-synched with the wrong lip sync, moved randomly while dancing, and finally sat on the edge of the stage to play with the audience. He also directed the audience to harmonize, but every sentence was not on the beat!

At that time, Dilireba was able to endure the whole process just because Chen Yu was her husband, otherwise she would have smashed the headset into his face and left! Chen Yu's behavior was purely intentional to cause trouble.

In fact, Blueberry Channel conducted detailed investigations and various evaluations before inviting Chen Yu to participate in the New Year's Eve concert. In the end, Blueberry Channel predicted that the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages.

Therefore, no matter how Dilireba reminds, Blueberry Channel must try its best to expand the profit aspect, even if the chance is slim, it must try to persuade Chen Yu to open the wheat half.

Even if Chen Yu doesn't want to turn on the microphone half-way, it would be best to record his voice in advance and use it for the New Year's Eve concert. Blueberry TV is too embarrassed to do the cool trick of directly playing the original singer.

Although Blueberry Taiwan has a very thorough idea, Dilraba still does not think that her husband will actively cooperate with the above-mentioned plan. Chen Yu has always been very resistant to such activities.

Mr. Lao Zai, the music director of Mango Channel’s New Year’s Eve concert, has made dozens of phone calls to organize a second group practice since the “Hua Shao” joint training ended in September.

As a result, Guli Nazha, Song Zuer, Jiang Shuying, and Zhou Yangqing all said that there was no problem in being on call, but the four men headed by Chen Yu were full of excuses.

Later, when Teacher Lao Zai contacted Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun, he could only call Dilraba and Tang Yixin first and have them relay the news to their family members. This made Teacher Lao Zai very sad and disappointed.

What’s sad is that among cross-border artists, there are always big names like Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun who don’t respect Chinese music.

What's disappointing is that they are regarded as treasures by major TV stations and major manufacturers, and they can't even say a harsh word. Although some audiences and music critics would criticize and criticize these guys afterwards, the effect would be minimal because it would not delay them from reaping fame and fortune across borders.

As long as Chen Yu or Zhang Ruoyun are still loved and sought after by most people, China's major TV stations and major factories will continue to provide comprehensive protection and even indulgence.

The many capitals that control the Chinese entertainment industry will not deliberately care about, listen to, or adopt the opinions of the Chinese music industry because they want to look at the problem from a more macro perspective.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Ruoyun and Chen Yu can reap a lot of benefits for themselves and their capital and achieve a win-win situation. As long as they don't do stupid things, their capital will be unconditionally guaranteed.

Teacher Lao Zai, who was far away in Yanjing and was worried about this, and Teacher Tan Yizhe, who looked pained when facing Chen Yu, both thought:
The reason why European and American entertainment can go global must have its unique advantages!
Just like the barrier between European and American singers and actors, you can't break into the European and American music scene without some real skills.

If Kobe Bryant records at his own expense and the sales are not good, no one will ask him to sing at events, ceremonies, and parties.

Chen Yu's singing skills are rubbish, so the ending theme of "Knives Out" originally planned to be a collaboration between him, Jodie Comer and Captain America, was changed to the latter two singing and Chen Yu's accompaniment.

Chen Yu could only gesture with the accompaniment with a maracas in his hand, and did not even have the right or qualification to improvise a section, because his dance style did not match the ending theme at all.

In the recording studio at this moment, teacher Tan Yizhe crossed his arms and looked at the weak Chen Yu, not knowing what to say. Dilraba held a thermos in her hand to coax Chen Yu to drink Luo Han Guo water.

The mixing engineer in Teacher Tan Yizhe's team secretly curled his lips. Although it had just been recorded for 35 minutes, Chen Yu acted as weak and soft as if he had run a full marathon.

The only results achieved in these thirty-five minutes are:
First, Dilraba loves Chen Yu very much and is a good wife. No matter how bad Chen Yu sings, she will always encourage him, although once she turns around, she will burst into laughter.

Secondly, Chen Yu not only has poor singing skills but also has a bad attitude during practice. Chen Yu is a very typical example: passive resistance.

It is said that he does not listen, listens but does not understand, understands but does not do it, does it but makes mistakes, does not admit the mistake, admits it but does not change it, changes it but refuses to accept it, refuses to accept it but does not speak out, and the cycle repeats to form a closed loop.

How can Tan Yizhe and Dilraba help Chen Yu? Dilraba Dilraba can reconcile with herself and her husband, but how could Tan Yizhe swallow such bad breath when he first arrived!

But if Chen Yu, who is still passively resisting like this, is wasted, it will eventually lead to a lose-lose situation.

Chen Yu didn't care. After all, he had already been scolded by some audiences and music critics at the New Year's Eve party on Mango Channel. He was covered in dirt and didn't mind getting a little dust.

Moreover, Blueberry Channel and Mango Channel dared to invite him to participate in the New Year's Eve concert, with the intention of letting Chen Yu stay alive to increase the ratings.

Dilraba advised Teacher Tan Yizhe that since the organizers had other plans or calculations, there was no need for him to take it too seriously. It would be easy and worry-free to find a professional student to record it.

How can a mango table be compared to a blueberry table?
"Anyway, I can't deal with my husband's side. He won't accept any threats or inducements in terms of singing and dancing."

Dilraba pointed at Chen Yu, who was already lying on the ground pretending to be dead and acting rogue.

Less than an hour after entering the studio, passive resistance escalated to a characteristically Indian form: civil disobedience.

That is, not to use violent means to resist + refuse to cooperate with Tan Yizhe, Dilraba Dilraba and others at all levels.
