Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 721- Troubled Times, Accidents Come One After Another
The 75th Venice International Film Festival came to a close amid a barrage of criticism, with all members of the jury being lambasted by the media and movie fans.

The chairman of the jury, Mr. Gilroy, had to publicly apologize at the press conference, admitting that he had failed to do his job properly and taking all the responsibility. In this respect, he showed the demeanor of a leader and was willing to take the blame for his members.

In fact, we cannot say that Gilroy is taking the blame for anyone. After all, he is the culprit who made this Venice International Film Festival difficult to end. He insisted on excluding and discriminating against excellent works from South America, Asia, and Hollywood.

In recent years, a harsh noise has been heard in the European film industry, calling for local works to drive out invading culture and re-occupy major European cinemas.

The Cannes International Film Festival chose to stand aside in the face of such calls.

It only slightly lowers the threshold for European works to enter the main competition unit.

The Berlin International Film Festival goes its own way. If you want to win an award, you either have to rely on your hard power or your public relations skills. There is no third option.

In contrast, Italy is purely wavering. The Venice International Film Festival wants to get more sponsorship funds from various brands, but also wants to give some face to the European faction, resulting in a lack of continuity in the judging style and standards every year.

Since 2014, the title of Venice International Film Festival jury president has become a useless position that is neither worthwhile nor worth throwing away.

International filmmakers who really want to gain experience would rather work as jury chairman in Cannes, Berlin, or San Sebastian, Spain.

As a result, Venice had no choice but to invite extremists like Giraud to hold this important position, stirring up the already muddy stagnant water even more disgustingly!

To be honest, Gilroy did not expect such a big reaction from the outside world, which completely suppressed the voice of the European faction, leaving him isolated and helpless.

Hollywood has ignored the farce at the Venice International Film Festival.

Because screenwriters and actors are arguing with big studios such as Disney and Paramount, the relevant unions are currently planning a collective strike.

Remember how Robert Downey Jr. instigated Black Widow, Olsen and others to ask Disney to increase their pay? Now it has inexplicably expanded to the entire industry.

The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have announced their involvement in the dispute, and now Los Angeles has become a quagmire.

The American Television Producers Association refused to give in and vowed to confront the inferior actors and screenwriters who broke the industry rules and resolutely resist such evil deeds! The two previous rounds of negotiations between the two sides failed.

Emanuel had a video call with Chen Yu last night and believed that the probability of a strike had increased to about 40 percent.

If the two rounds of negotiations in the next ten days still fail to reach substantive terms, Chen Yu must be mentally prepared to return to the United States to participate in the strike. At this time, the "The Sting" crew in Australia has not been affected.

Director Knight frankly stated that whether the "The Detective" crew would take a holiday depends on how the talks in Los Angeles go. If no consensus can be reached, they will take a few days off.

Anyway, the crew is far away from the United States.

Emanuel heard that Brad Pitt, Gyllenhaal and a bunch of old guys were pushing for the strike intentionally or unintentionally.

Based on their experience in previous struggles, major studios such as Disney and Paramount have also made preparations for both scenarios. On the one hand, they offer appropriate conditions to secretly bribe influential celebrities; on the other hand, they gather lawyers to initiate legal procedures to intimidate and threaten mid-level actors and directors.

As for those unknown people in the industry, no one cares about them. They are just cannon fodder in the struggle. No matter which side wins, these unlucky guys will not benefit or be taken care of.

Emanuel has received a series of calls and emails from major companies since early Tuesday morning.

Basically, they were discussing business and film and television cooperation. Of course, the subtext was to test Chen Yu's personal views or opinions on this strike.

Emanuel's response was consistent and official:

Chen Yu is a full member of the Screen Actors Guild. When mass incidents suddenly break out, Chen Yu simply cannot pretend to be ignorant and stand aside. But he may miss the parade because he is with his family or overseas.

Chen Yu would feel sorry if he could not attend the protests and demonstrations in person.

Everyone knows what Emmanuel meant, so in recent days, major American media outlets have successively reported the news that Dilraba Dilmurat is suspected to be pregnant.

The discussion of "The Detective" is also soaring, and it is showing signs and trends of being highly anticipated and popular before it is aired. This makes director Knight reluctant to take a vacation easily in response to the strike in the United States.

At this moment, Di Lieba, who was at the Anderson County Manor, was confused after seeing the news. When did the American media become bored enough to care about her own life?

According to the previous routine, it should be said that Chen Yu might be about to be upgraded to a father.

The American media is too lazy to mention Dilraba Dilmurat's name unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now she is actually on the headlines of the entertainment section. This is abnormal and there must be something wrong!
Di Lieba thought of the dark clouds over Los Angeles and roughly guessed that it was probably Disney, Paramount and other big studios trying to set a trap for her husband, giving him sufficient excuses and reasons not to show up for the strike that was likely to break out.

Since the other party has already decorated the stage, we should cooperate a little.

Di Lieba immediately told the variety show recording crew that she was not feeling well and needed to rest for a few days, and then she generously asked the medical lady to come and examine her.

Take a good look and learn what the connection and tacit understanding between husband and wife are!
Di Lieba acted in full, posting a message to congratulate her husband on winning the Best Newcomer Award in the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival, and also posted retouched pictures of taking body temperature and blood pressure.

The caption is very simple: take a rest.

Chen Yu wanted to please his wife and posted a photo of himself holding the trophy.

But after searching the suite twice, Yu couldn't find the trophy.
Chen Yu rubbed his head as he walked out of the room and knocked on Captain America's door diagonally opposite.

The two jumped up and down for more than forty minutes but found no clues.

At 9:00 a.m. Italian time, Judy joined the "treasure hunt team".

As a result, the three of them conducted a carpet search until eleven o'clock but still found nothing. Then the suite's exclusive butler and VIP security guards came together to help.

Finally, at 2:00 p.m., the hotel manager suggested that Chen Yu call the police.

Because there are no surveillance cameras in the VIP parking lot, VIP elevator and VIP floor, it is impossible to determine whether the trophy was lost in the hotel or stolen.

But the hotel manager felt that no one could bypass the VIP security and enter the Chenyu Suite, because the three exclusive elevators and emergency escape exits on the VIP floor were all equipped with hidden infrared thermal remote alarms, and even a dog passing by could trigger a notification.

Besides, it takes a lot of courage to run into Chen Yu’s suite and steal things!

If you go in unarmed and get discovered, you'll probably die a miserable death.

The most panicked team about the trophy disappearing for no apparent reason was the CCTV-6 interview team.

Chen Yu is the first Chinese actor in history to win the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice International Film Festival.

The Sixth Princess is preparing to promote the film well in order to boost the morale of domestic film and television people!
The result…Fuck!
