Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 72: Being smart turns out to be a mistake

Chapter 72 - Being clever but being misled by cleverness (seeking for further reading)
"For our main mission [float parade and samba performance], I can only accompany you in the preliminary preparations. After all, I still have a boxing contract to fulfill on the opening day of the tourist season and carnival." Chen Yu sipped apologetically. He pursed his lips and pointed at the chief director Wu Mengzhi outside the shooting area.

In a similar situation, when Chen Yu authorized Emmanuel to sign an "employment contract" with "Flowers and Boys Season 3", it was already included in the terms and conditions.

In fact, Chen Yu's boxing contract has a much higher priority than his current variety show contract.

The reason is very simple. The total investment in the boxing match between Chen Yu and Pedraza has exceeded US$400 million.

The amount of compensation agreed by both parties in the "liquidated damages contract" between him and "Flowers and Boys Season 3" was only 86 million yuan.

Which is more and which is less is obvious by comparing the numbers.

Therefore, Chen Yu is really a person with a "spirit of contract" to continue recording "Flowers and Boys Season 3" under such a huge temptation.

But if experts in the boxing or fighting circles were to evaluate him, they would say that Chen Yu could only keep his promise at best.

Because before 1960, everyone followed the rules set by Sullivan, the world's first heavyweight boxing champion, in many "no-prep boxing matches":
No surprise training will be carried out;
Not designing targeted tactics;
No courtesy fist bumps.

Presenting the most primitive and barbaric sport of boxing to the audience in the venue and before the broadcast.

Matches operating in this retro mode are truly terrifying in terms of visual impact and emotional appeal.

However, since April 1965, as the commercialization of boxing has become increasingly sophisticated, such "extensive" competition methods have been quietly stopped by major associations.

In 2016, it was repackaged into a more entertaining project to promote boxing.

Because the "boxing match without preparation period" does not count into personal record and the amount of sponsorship is generally high.

Therefore, the boxers who are invited to participate will fight very aggressively.

Therefore, the Rio de Janeiro state government will unite with various families to hold a "boxing match without preparation period" to promote this year's carnival.

"They also considered inviting well-known teams such as Real Madrid or Milan to play games, but there were too many things to coordinate and the labor costs were too high, so they decided to box instead." Handbook" was handed to Nazha, whose eyes were full of stars.

He also reminded her that there was no point in watching it anymore. After all, the fried chicken was the dinner paid for by the program crew.

Nazha pointed to the remaining braised backbone and begged Chen Yu in a soft and waxy voice to exchange fried chicken with the program team.

Song Zuer, with bulging cheeks, immediately joined the team of grinding Chen Yu.

"This matter should be left to our [tour guide] Comrade Jing Boran."

Chen Yuba opened Song Zuer's greasy paw in front of him and kicked the ball to Jing Boran, who had just stopped to eat two mouthfuls of food.

His trick of "driving trouble to the east" really worked. Nazha and Song Zuer immediately turned around and bullied the poor "Jing Bao".

"Wait a minute, I'll pick out a piece of meat that's easy to chew, so don't worry." Zhang Ruoyun saw that Jiang Shuying and Zhou Yangqing didn't attack Chen Yu, so he immediately went back to the table and continued eating.

Nazha gave Zhang Ruoyun a roll of her eyes. What should I do if the program team takes away the good ones and refuses to replace them?
Song Zuer swallowed the melon sticks in her mouth and stretched out her chopsticks to grab the backbone with Zhang Ruoyun. At the same time, she smiled and expressed her belief in Brother Xiaojing's eloquence.

"These two beautiful girls are really good: if they have anything to do, they will go to Brother Xiaojing, and if nothing happens, they will flirt with Baby Chen Yu."

Jiang Shuying put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth and gave a "sharp comment" to Song Zuer and Nazha who were shaking their heads.

Zhou Yangqing took a sip of cold beer and shook his fist lightly at Nazha and Song Zuer, who were baring their teeth with Jiang Shuying.

Five minutes later, Jing Boran exchanged four pieces of sauce-braised spine for four pieces of "finger-sucking original chicken".

"Girls, everyone has a share, so we three brothers should bear with it." Jing Boran said this mainly to Zhang Ruoyun.

Zhou Yangqing waited until her eldest sister and two younger sisters had finished taking it before reaching out, but she still criticized Comrade Jing Boran for the bad business!
When Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun heard this, they immediately turned their heads and snickered.

Jing Boran blinked, looking apologetic, aggrieved and a little helpless.

At 8:10, the girls, who had finished eating fried chicken and freshened up, asked the three boys who were playing football in the small garden to go out quickly.

It was obvious that they were waiting for Jiang Shuying and others who were dawdling, but in the end they were beaten down.

Zhang Ruoyun complained in a very rare low voice.

But Chen Yu felt that he was resentful because he didn't get the fried chicken.

Jing Boran put his arms around Zhang Ruoyun's shoulders and asked Chen Yu to learn to be calm.

Because the camera was not around at this time, Chen Yu shrugged and said that Reba was very lazy when going out, either forgetting to take her hat or not bringing her mobile phone.

In short, you must plan an hour in advance, otherwise you are guaranteed to be late for everything.

Zhang Ruoyun glanced around and sighed, then complained about Tang Yixin's virtue.

"Ni Ni is quite nimble but everything is too rushed. What I'm chasing now is a bit out of my depth."

Jing Boran feels that his relationship with Ni Ni is coming to an end.

The character of Jing Boran’s family is: If I want to make progress, then as my boyfriend you must also work hard!
Tang Yixin belongs to the category: As long as I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I can be a salty fish with Zhang Ruoyun.

Reba is more torn: She wants to work hard to earn some money for milk powder and diapers for her baby, but she also wants to be lazy and hang out in the entertainment industry for a few years before getting married.

"Both of you have the capital to let your wife get by. I have already quarreled with Ni Ni three times this year because of work matters."

With a bitter look on his face, Jing Boran raised three fingers and waved them in front of Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun.

Zhang Ruoyun smacked his lips and didn't answer.

Chen Yu also looked away.

Although they both knew that Jing Boran needed some external encouragement at this moment to help him make a certain decision.

But as the old saying goes, "It's better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage." Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun just listened to what Jing Boran said about this kind of matter and couldn't say anything more.

One is that the relationship is not good enough, and the other is that they are not that good at mediating.

"Can you please take two steps quickly? How come you three are the flower protectors?" Jiang Shuying twisted her waist and shouted to Chen Yu and the others who were whispering to each other ten steps away.

When everyone arrived at the "Gure O'Xian" drive-in restaurant, Zhou Yangqing asked the boss how much the six dishes that Chen Yu had packed earlier were worth.

"Mr. Chen has paid all the bills." The proprietress pointed to the Fujifilm camera next to the counter and the photo hanging on the wall.

Jiang Shuying immediately stepped forward and explained that the food was for everyone to eat, so everyone had to pay for the meal.

The landlady nodded and told Jiang Shuying seriously that you can return the money to Mr. Chen. "Ms. Jiang, there is no debt or creditor-rights relationship between the restaurant and you."

It seems that the boss lady knows how to create a show effect. With just a few words, the team accountant Jiang Shuying owed Chen Yu one hundred and sixty-two Brazilian reals.

"Qingqing, am I a failure as an accountant?" Jiang Shuying took Zhou Yangqing's arm and asked after coming out of the restaurant.

Song Zuer came close to the two of them and pretended to be mature, saying that if the eldest sister really gave the money to Chen Yu, it would be called a real "failure"!
At this time, "You have the final say" who was dragged at the end of the team was trying to persuade "I don't care" to ask Jiang Shuying for the debt.

"It's more than one hundred and sixty for us brothers to buy some juice to drink. If you don't say anything, my sister's stingy behavior will probably keep us going until the show is over."

Zhang Ruoyun raised his chin and persuaded Chen Yu to get the money back and spend it before entering the business.

"Xiaoyu, how about I help you [get justice]? Then you take 60% and Brother Yun and I share 40%?"

Nazha bypassed Jing Boran and slipped over to join Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun's "conspiracy".

Girls like to eat snacks, but what Nazha brought was only chocolate to prevent herself from hypoglycemia.

As for the smoked lamb and naan bread, they are Nazha's life-saving "reserve foods".

Chen Yu imitated Jing Boran's previous action, raised three fingers and shook them gently.

Nazha and Zhang Ruoyun looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and high-fived Chen Yu respectively.

Jing Boran has been secretly observing these three guys who are whispering.

At this meeting, the three people "high-fived each other and swore an oath of alliance", and alarm bells suddenly sounded in their hearts.

Sure enough, at the entrance of the supermarket, Nazha and Zhang Ruoyun started to "encircle and suppress" the eldest sister because of the 48 yuan reward.

Nazha is mainly responsible for disrupting Jiang Shuying's rhythm with her soft, waxy, slow and leisurely voice.

Zhang Ruoyun acted as the output manpower to fight Jiang Shuying and Song Zuer who joined in the fun.

"How much money did Chen Yu promise to share between you two?" Zhou Yangqing grasped the core of the problem and prepared to disintegrate the "Three Emperors Alliance".

When Jiang Shuying agreed to buy potato chips and thumb biscuits for Nazha, Reba's fellow villager immediately rebelled!
Zhang Ruoyun showed his loyalty and was not bribed, but when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he took the initiative to make a tactical retreat.

"You want me to surrender to the enemy for fifty dollars? They are simply daydreaming!"

Zhang Ruoyun muttered and squatted down together with Chen Yu, while the two of them pouted at Nazha who was making faces.

Zhang Ruoyun didn't enter the supermarket because he was angry, while Chen Yu planned to make a fortune outside.

Jing Boran saw that the "living ancestors" of "You have the final say" and "I don't care" got together again and planned to stay outside the supermarket.

But Jiang Shuying and Zhou Yangqing, who were in a good mood at this time, kept telling him to come over quickly.

In the end, Jing Boran chose to obey the majority and enter the supermarket with the large army.

Buy mineral water, instant noodles, vegetables, meat and eggs and some fruits, pears and peaches.

But Song Zuer's request for potato chips and mango slices was ruthlessly rejected by Jiang Shuying.

Generally speaking, Jing Boran is like a father who dotes on his children. He will not refuse any request from Nazha and Song Zuer.

On the other hand, Jiang University Accounting Principles always insists on the word "dig".

The potato chips and thumb biscuits promised to Nazha could be bought, but Song Zuer could only get a small bag of jelly.

But when Song Zuer, who had a pouty mouth, walked out of the business first, she was greeted by a chocolate-flavored popsicle.

Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun were eating, drinking and packing bags, squatting on the stone steps and squinting at Nazha, Jing Boran and others who were carrying things.

"Did you two just go to rob?" Jing Boran looked at the big plastic bag at Zhang Ruoyun's feet.

Zhang Ruoyun hummed and asked Jing Boran to look at the basketball court opposite.

Then he said slowly that these were the "trophies" of him and Chen Yuying.

Although their physical condition is not as good as that of black men with bigger muscles and rounder waists, Chen Yu and Zhang Ruoyun's free throws are particularly stable.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had the ability?" Accountant Jiang Shuying was a little annoyed that this trip to the Shangchao Supermarket was both unworthy and annoying!

Chen Yu distributed the juice to everyone and then looked at Jiang Shuying.

He originally planned to take a short break with Zhang Ruoyun.

But the fans were very sincere and insisted that the two of them go over and play, and as a result, they won a big bag of all kinds of food and drinks.

Executive director Li Chao outside the camera shook his head slightly at Zhou Yangqing. Chen Yu did not commit a "foul" this time.

But Chen Yu itself is a super bug.

His fans are all over the world and it’s so easy to hang out with them.

In just thirty-five minutes, the main entrance of the Shangchao Supermarket was surrounded on three floors inside and three outside.

A total of 17 police cars arrived to maintain order at the scene.

Fortunately, the onlookers were very considerate of the program crew and kept quiet, otherwise the recording would have been suspended.

There is joy and sorrow in the world.

Pedraza, who was staying at the "Fasano Hotel" next to Ipanema Beach, looked helpless.

Because now he is "surrounded" by nearly 20,000 people.

"I thought my opponent was just Chen Yu, but I didn't expect that I would fall into [people's war] first."

Pedraza sighed in front of the ESPN camera. He wanted to call Chen Yu for help.

Because the police in the hotel and on the beach are Chen Yu's boxing fans.
