Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 594 - A business trip
April 20th, London time, 3:00 p.m., Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, West End, London.

Chen Yu, Emma Roberts and director James stepped onto the red carpet of the 71st British Academy Film Awards amid the enthusiastic cheers of the media and fans.

To be honest, Chen Yu's current condition is not very good. He flew directly to London from the set of "Sicario 2" in New Mexico and arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Chen Yu will return to the crew after attending this year's British Academy Film Awards which was postponed due to the strike. If time permits, he may take tonight's flight.

After all, the British Academy Film Awards was not a must-attend part of the plan for "Fifty Shades Freed", and Director James decided to come to London purely to give the organizers a little face.

Neither Fifty Shades Freed's lead actor Jamie Dornan nor her lead actress Dakota Johnson attended the event.

Chen Yu, Emma Roberts and director James all felt that there was no need to mobilize everyone to gather together.

It should be noted here that Roberts is also the main investor of this work. The shooting costs are covered by Chen Yu, and the post-production and promotion are handled by Emma Roberts.

The original plan was for Chen Yu to have an overview of everything and give some of the investment to Dilraba Dilmurat's studio, but unfortunately Dilraba Dilmurat felt that the film was immoral and refused to take it.

Xue Dan, Yan Zi and other senior executives of Di Lieba Studio also supported the boss's view and regarded it as a hot potato, believing that investing in this work would damage the studio's image.

To be honest, these people don't believe that "Fifty Shades Freed" can make money from the European and American markets.

Emma Roberts was willing to take a gamble. It was only over 20 million US dollars, so she could afford to lose it. The budget for post-production publicity and promotion was over 19 million US dollars.

As for the extra hundreds of thousands of dollars, Emma Roberts gave it to the employees of the website and theaters as performance bonuses to encourage them to promote this work more.

In addition, the streaming media advertising company that undertook the online promotion of "Fifty Shades Freed" was jointly established by Chen Yu, Connor, and Deadpool, so that all the benefits can be kept within the family.

Therefore, if Jason Momoa and Connor can be listed as co-producers or producers, there is no need for their brothers to be so serious about it.

Thanks to the joint efforts of director James and all the crew members, "Fifty Shades Freed" achieved the expected box office results and public praise.

This film was released in early February this year, and has grossed a total of $327 million at the box office as of the end of the filming. The total cost of "Fifty Shades Freed" was just over $50 million.

The stubborn old director James once again proved that as long as the main investor does not interfere with his work, he can straighten out the crappy original work and bring it to the big screen for a comeback!

Although the original work is also a bestseller in Europe and the United States, the author Ms. James was very frank: Thanks to Frey (director James) for making this story truly perfect.

Netflix, Time Warner Group, and Lionsgate have already contacted director James, hoping that the stubborn old man will join the "Chernobyl" crew and serve as producer.

James in "Fifty Shades Freed" is the director, producer and co-producer, and shares the final editing rights of the work with Chen Yu, but the latter never interferes.

Roberts originally hoped that she could share the final editing rights. After all, her investment accounted for nearly 40% and should have been taken into consideration, but it was later shelved.

The main reason was that Roberts felt that he could not get along harmoniously with the stubborn old director James in the studio. The latter was simply a willful tyrant at work!
So much so that Roberts is now reluctant to walk side by side with the stubborn old director James on the red carpet.

At this moment, she and Chen Yu were about half a body length behind Director James. Chen Yu did this purely out of respect for the stubborn old man in front of her, without any other ulterior motives.

Emma Roberts is well aware of the pros and cons of her flat chest, small butt and relying on a bitch face to conquer the world.

So I took the advice of the styling team and chose makeup, accessories, and clothes that matched Chen Yu.

That is, a pure white stand-up collar shirt with a dark green butterfly collar and waisted casual suit, paired with haze blue straight-leg casual pants and beige Chelsea side-opening short boots.

At the same time, she used a bright red lipstick to make her outfit strike a perfect balance between novelty and retro, earning enough attention from the media on the scene. Chen Yu's style still follows the capable and simple route, with a pure black small lapel shirt, a navy blue fruit collar jacket, plus pure black casual trousers and leather shoes.
Because Chen Yu's feet are small and narrow, the stylist sent by Armani did not recommend that he wear formal handmade leather shoes.

However, due to time constraints, Chen Yu was unable to order custom-made casual leather shoes, so the stylist had no choice but to make do with it.

Anyway, Chen Yu's mission at the British Academy Film Awards this time is to join in the fun, and acting and dressing low-key also suits his purpose.

To be honest, every time Chen Yu appears on the red carpet, her makeup and hair style are almost the same, and the only things that can be considered changed are some small details.

But with her super cute looks that drive European and American big sisters and weird brothers crazy, she can also occupy a place on the red carpet ceremony and be photographed by the media.

Therefore, Chen Yu's red carpet show is still highly anticipated by boxing fans, fans and audiences.

Furthermore, the European and American fashion circles will reconstruct Chen Yu's outfits. After all, her style is particularly suitable for creating daily wear for new academics, business elites, and political stars.

But the winner on the red carpet was still Roberts. Her makeup, hair and clothing combination all impressed the media and spectators on the scene.

Previously, most female stars chose to wear low-cut and high-slit dresses with bare chests and backs, showing off their charming curves and good figures, which made people's eyes feel tired.

At this moment, Roberts instantly awakened everyone with his neat and capable style.

In addition, Roberts also exuded the confidence and temperament of a successful female politician, which led to people on both sides of the red carpet constantly asking her to pause for a moment and take a photo.

The guest hosts of this year's British Academy Film Awards red carpet are:

Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in "Harry Potter", and Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley, are two young British actors.

Because Chen Yu knew very little about "Harry Potter" and he deliberately kept a low profile.

As a result, Chen Yu only hugged and greeted the host politely, and then took the initiative to retreat behind Director Roberts and James.

Let the lights and stage be given to Director Roberts and James who are in a good mood today.

The two did not waste Chen Yu's sacrifice, and won applause from the media and passers-by on both sides of the red carpet many times while chatting and laughing.

By the way, it can also delay time for Grint and Wright, who lack experience in controlling the scene, so that the subsequent crews don't have to rush so hard.

"Will the organizers of the British Academy Film Awards pay these two [young geniuses] for hosting the event?"

Chen Yu, Roberts and director James leisurely entered the Royal Opera House and walked to the corner of the lounge to chat.

Roberts helped Chen Yu get a glass of warm water and then shook his head slightly.

Being able to host the red carpet ceremony of the British Academy Film Awards is barely a small personal honor.

Chen Yu pursed his lips and nearly burst out laughing when he heard that. Roberts was really nice and kept trying to make up for the host.

Chen Yu estimated that the European and American audiences who were watching the live broadcast in front of the screen were already fed up with the flustered Grint and the dull Wright.
