Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 787 - Something else

After finishing Running Man, Chen Yu did not immediately leave Seoul and fly to Berlin.

Instead, he waited in the hotel for two other Chinese directors to pick him up to discuss new film and television projects.

Niu Chengze and Yan Zhengguo arrived in Seoul early yesterday morning via a direct flight from Taipei.

Then, Director Dou suddenly suffered from acute enteritis due to his greed and was admitted to Seoul's Asan Hospital. After the incident was reported by the Taipei media, it caused ridicule, mockery and criticism from ordinary people in Taiwan.

Niu Chengze is a Chinese director who has won three major European awards. Why did he crave barbecue? Not only did he eat too much, he even injured himself! It's a disgrace to the nation!
Niu Chengze was also wronged as he was not used to eating on planes, trains or subways.

This means that I was fasting all the way from Taipei to Seoul.
In addition, he missed breakfast and lunch due to work, so he couldn't control his diet after arriving in Seoul.

The Taipei media only said that Director Dou lacked depth, which was indeed a quoting out of context.

Who can pick up their chopsticks when faced with their favorite food after being thirsty, hungry, and exhausted all day?

Niu Chengze and Yan Zhengguo came to Seoul with a small entourage this time, only bringing one assistant.

Niu Chengze is currently in the hospital suffering from enteritis, so Yan Zhengguo can only accompany him and ask his assistant to pick up Chen Yu and meet at a restaurant on the southwest side of the auxiliary road across the street from Eshan Hospital.

"Mr. Chen, here!"

The shout was loud and clear enough that Chen Yu put down his phone and walked out of the hotel slowly.

Then he handed the bouquet and fruit basket to the middle-aged male assistant.

Although the other party nodded and bowed, he seemed very respectful.

But the gangster style that he tried hard to conceal still leaked out a little in his every move.

Don't think too much, there's no way such a bloody plot could happen here.

This middle-aged male assistant is definitely from a gang in Taiwan.

Chen Yu could be very sure of this.

After all, he has come into contact with too many members of the Chinese community in America.

But there's no need to make a fuss.

Similar situations are very common in the film and television industry, but in Europe and the United States they are all called "such and such union."

Everyone needs to eat to live.

In the past, I wore flowery shirts to make a living and had dirty mouths;

Nowadays, people wear white shirts and speak modestly and politely in order to make money.

This is not a conflict or inconsistency.

If we have to define it, it can only be described as: the right choice made in line with the trend of the times.

But if you understand it in a disguised way as: there is nothing wrong with people having to kneel down under the gunpoint.

After Chen Yu sent a selfie to Dilraba Dilmurat, he looked at the assistant with boredom and mischief.

The brother who once served as the external producer of the "艋苈" crew had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and nose.

This assistant likes his current job very much.

Not only is it respectable to say, but the money earned is also enough to make you feel at ease.

The most important thing is that he can introduce himself confidently at his child’s parent-teacher conference.

At the same time, he communicates with teachers and other children's parents very frankly.

It can even be said that his view on his current job belongs to the level of "cherishing".

Therefore, the middle-aged man will take every task assigned to him very seriously.

In order to fully adapt to this position, he used his spare time to attend adult cram schools to re-study professional skills and subjects such as English, accounting, and history.

Although he got poor scores in every test.

But life is very solid.

Even according to what the middle-aged man said, he was simply a person who had to bow his head under the eaves.

Chen Yu could also sense that he was willing to do so.

But now the middle-aged man is not in the mood to chat and talk nonsense.

The chill on his back made him afraid that his neck would be cut at any time.

He had done detailed research before coming to pick up Chen Yu and knew that the latter was a world boxing champion who had just retired.

And he has never been defeated in his career.

The middle-aged man had seen big scenes when he was young and naive.

He felt that the way Chen Yu looked at and examined him was something a good person could never have!
Thanks to Baodao's military service system, even the most badass middle-aged man cannot escape the fate of going to the military camp.

So he thought Chen Yu's style was more like that of a soldier.

While waiting for the green light for more than ten seconds, Chen Yu casually took out a red Wan and handed it to the middle-aged man. This seemingly normal action made the latter tremble.

"Where did you hang out before?"

Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose and smiled slightly, then patted him gently on the shoulder.

The middle-aged man was flattered and took the lighter that Chen Yu extended to him with both hands.

But after taking a deep breath of Hong Wan, he burst into a violent coughing fit.

"The red bean sold in Korea is really spicy."

The middle-aged man raised his hand to cover his mouth and turned to Chen Yu and said with a hint of apology.

With a cigarette, a smile and a pat on the shoulder, Chen Yu successfully got the middle-aged man talking.

The two then began to talk about the middle-aged man’s former sphere of influence: Taipei’s Huaxi Street Night Market.

At that time, he was under the jurisdiction of the gang leader of "Bopiliao Old Street".

It just happens to coincide with the filming location of the movie "艋苺", Wanhua District in Taipei.

Therefore, he was promoted directly from assistant director to external producer.

"Well, Mr. Chen, I was actually in the Green Island for five years. My initial idea was to go there for further study and then work as a job, but I used the five years to calm myself down completely. I chose to return to the right path. Although it's not as glorious and free as before, it's more stable and down-to-earth."

Chen Yu was startled, not because of the inspirational story of this assistant, the prodigal son's first time.

Chen Yu simply didn't believe in such things.

"Once a thief, always a thief." A criminal record will follow you for the rest of your life.

No matter how many good deeds a former thief does, the public only needs to dig up your criminal record, and the nature of it will become: atonement.

This is after the undercover agent completes his mission and returns to the system.

The situations of suffering invisible exclusion and suppression are basically the same.

Of course, those carrying out short-term undercover missions are not among them.

So in real life, the prodigal son's return does not depend on the thief.

Rather, society is rarely willing to provide this opportunity to former thieves.

Because the authorities want to punish them to remind the general public of the severe price they will pay for violating the rules set by the upper echelons.

Imprisonment is merely a minor punishment; the "social sentence" you face for the rest of your life is the real heart-breaking measure.

Having said that, we are now in the 21st century, and even some associations in Hong Kong have adopted the corporate system. Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments among the brothers can they survive carefully in the cracks.

According to Chen Yu's understanding of Formosa's laws, five years in prison is not a punishment that can be imposed for ordinary acts of injury.

To put it bluntly, the middle-aged man in front of him should be an outstanding employee who has made great contributions to his company.

Therefore, Chen Yu pretended not to hear what he said, "choose to get back on the right track."

If the middle-aged man really "chooses to return to the right path" and no longer has any contact with his former brothers.

Then he had absolutely no hope of receiving special care from Niu Chengze or being promoted across levels.

“You speak Cantonese well.”

This is what Chen Yu was surprised and astonished about just now.

This assistant's Cantonese pronunciation is several times better than that of the average Taiwanese.

The middle-aged man chuckled with a hint of pride, but did not reveal where he learned it from or from whom.

Chen Yu is probably in the bitter kiln.

There aren't many talented people in that place, but there are thieves everywhere.

In reality, a capable and ruthless person like Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption" would basically be locked up in a special prison or special prison area. It would be impossible for him to hang out with a bunch of scum.

Therefore, situations such as enlightenment in the cage (Longchang) can be attributed to the chapter on strange stories.

Those who come out either return to their old ways and cause trouble to others, or wait for death in silence.

Those who can accomplish something in an honest and upright manner are all people with great connections.

It's not that there is no such opportunity now, but it simply won't fall on your head.

Some people go into the classroom to escape disaster and seek refuge.

Some people work in the kiln in order to get a promotion.

Some people go to jail to attract attention and votes.

Everyone has different starting points, so naturally the treatment they receive after graduation varies greatly.
