Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 714 - Get ready and start
At around eight o'clock the next morning, Director Ryan hurried to the Venice International Cinema to meet up with the crew members.

Although Knives Out was chosen as the opening film for this event, neither the investors nor the production team wanted to make a big deal about it, so Director Ryan planned to hold a grand screening for the film in Los Angeles.

After all, Venice is currently the home of the International Film Festival, and Director Ryan must be more restrained in order not to steal all the limelight.

Ryan, who is also a producer, screenwriter and director, said he would keep a low profile, but Lionsgate misunderstood him and mistakenly thought he wanted to retaliate against the organizers and jury of the Venice International Film Festival.

"Knives Out" originally planned to focus its public relations efforts on the following three relatively easy projects: Best Newcomer Award (Chen Yu), Best Screenplay Award (Ryan), and the Silver Lion Award for Best Director (Ryan).

However, the chairman of the jury, Mexican producer, screenwriter and director Gilroy, specifically targeted Hollywood, and Lionsgate Entertainment only helped Chen Yu get the Best Newcomer Award.

As for the Best Screenplay Award and the Silver Lion Award for Best Director, they are still in a tug-of-war. The head of public relations at Lionsgate Films privately stated that the latter two have little hope.

Gilroy intended to force "The Sisters Brothers", a co-production of France, Romania and Spain, to win the Silver Lion Award.

"The Sisters Brothers" describes the chaotic American society during the gold rush, the lack of morality and the humanity that is on the verge of extinction.

The financiers of this work did not plan to participate in this year's Venice International Film Festival, but they could not resist Gilroy's endless lobbying as the chairman of the jury.

That's why I went to the place to sign up and prepared to just deal with it.

The three big names in "The Sisters Brothers", Reilly, Joaquin and Gyllenhaal, all declined to compete for the Best Actor award this year.

Their sights are on the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars this year.

I have no obsession with the three major European countries.

In addition, Gilroy also advocated that the Grand Jury Prize be awarded to the British drama "The Favourite", which has a more or less feminist tone.

Director Ryan and other directors competing for the award expressed their dissatisfaction with this. If feminism rises in the world film and television industry, it will inevitably cause immeasurable losses and unpredictable damage.

Why has Emma Watson been alienated by the European and American film and television circles in the past two years? It is because this young lady is too closely associated with feminists.

To put it bluntly, whether in Hollywood or the European film and television industry, men are in power. They can use their resources and connections to manipulate and humiliate actresses at will.

The incidents of sexual violence and sexual discrimination in Hollywood exposed by the media, revealed by paparazzi and reported by actresses are just the tip of the iceberg.

Many third- and fourth-tier actresses dare not say a word.

It can be said that the dirtiness of the European and American entertainment industries is even worse than that of South Korea.

It is only because the number of people working in the European and American entertainment industries is large that it is easier to dilute, digest and decompose such dirty and disgusting incidents in the sun.

In the crew of "Knives Out", men and women do the same work but are paid differently.

The two makeup and hair assistants are paid about 10% more for males than for females.

The reason is that men bear greater and heavier pressure in life.

In the cafe next to the south gate of Venice International Cinema, Chen Yu was sharing a Munich smoked beef sausage sandwich and cranberry juice with Captain America.

Captain America pushed the list of media who would be entering the backstage for interviews today to Chen Yu's left hand side, and then emphasized the three groups of names in the last row.

These are three Italian media outlets that have shocked Europe with their love of finding trouble with Hollywood.

Lionsgate initially rejected their request for an interview.

However, the three companies obtained permission directly from the organizers of the Venice International Film Festival, and Lionsgate secretly cursed the organizers.

"How about trying to trick the Lionsgate representatives into contacting the locals?"

The locals Chen Yu refers to are street thugs.

The best way to deal with reporters and paparazzi is to deliberately cause trouble for them.

Captain America took a big bite of his sandwich, rolled his eyes at Chen Yu and muttered to himself.

At least they both played positive characters in "Knives Out", a cunning detective and a rich second-generation with a kind heart, not a pair of villains.

Judy, with curlers and hairpins on her head, ran in holding Guli Nazha's hand. The two women sat down and picked up the sandwiches on the plate and ate them in big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Chen Yu quickly unscrewed two bottles of mineral water and pushed them to the two of them.

Judy and Guli Nazha went out at 4:10 this morning to shoot outdoor scenes in formal wear.

Then we hurriedly moved to the bastion outside Venice to shoot the interior of the dress.

Changing clothes, posing, removing and reapplying makeup all consume a lot of physical energy!
Guli Nazha wiped the sandwich crumbs and water stains from the corners of her lips with the back of her hand.

"You guys are so relaxed, but we have to get up early and go to bed late! This world is unfair."

Judy tilted her head to glance at Chen Yu and Captain America and then called the waitress over. She wanted to continue ordering food, as a small half-corner sandwich was not enough to fill her stomach.

Guli Nazha was a little hesitant about whether to have another serving of Chinese mixed fried rice.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Captain America advised her not to trust Chinese food made by Italians and Spanish people. The waitress agreed and recommended Guli Nazha to try pizza.

“Can I order pineapple pizza?”

Chen Yu pretended not to know what was going on, and the waitress followed his lead by restraining her smile. She shouted towards the kitchen that someone was deliberately messing up and subverting traditional Italian cuisine!
Upon hearing the voice, the chef immediately ran out with a ballpoint pen and a notebook in hand.

Chen Yu naturally had to satisfy his wish for an autograph and photo as a sincere apology.

Captain America, who was sitting next to Chen Yu, was not as popular as the world-class boxing champion.

The pervasive publicity methods in Europe and the United States have made Chen Yu almost a household name.

Due to the primitiveness, bloodiness and cruelty of professional fighting, Chen Yu is even more popular and worshipped by people in Europe and the United States than Cristiano, Federer, Messi and Kobe.

After all, European and American people have criminal genes in their bones, and blood-spattered professional fighting can induce and arouse their pleasure.

In addition, Chen Yu's fighting style is both brutal and fierce, ruthless and vicious, so he can become a money-printing machine in fighting, and single-handedly carry the professional fighting industry for great strides forward.

After taking a photo with Chen Yu, the chef expressed with tears in his eyes that he hoped he could hold on for a year and not say goodbye to the octagon even if he didn't fight a single match.

Because no one wants to witness the end of a legend and the end of an era.

Chen Yu was unable to respond to these questions.

All I can say is that in the future I may participate in film and television works that depict professional boxing or professional fighting.

Today is the premiere of "Knives Out". Chen Yu doesn't want to talk about anything else, and he is somewhat avoiding the idea of ​​retirement in his heart.

After Chen Yu and his group finished their meal and rested for a while, they returned to the International Cinema, put on makeup and waited quietly for the red carpet show to begin.

Di Lieba was still in the suite listening to the report, while Song Zuer sneaked into the team and attended the premiere ceremony as a guest.

Speaking of which, "Knives Out" only invited one Chinese guest, Song Zuer.

Before that, we also have to send an invitation letter to Ms. Sylvia Chang, a member of the jury of this year's film festival.

Unfortunately, Chen Yu said, "I don't know this person," and Lionsgate did not take any action.
