Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 93 - I can’t do this (please follow up)

"I feel like it might rain later." Nazha raised her head and looked at the clouds slowly coming from the southwest.

"Hua Shao" and his group of seven people are now going to group up to drive a small boat to the waters of a tributary of the Amazon River to catch piranha.

Chen Yu heard Nazha's soft and slow announcement and glanced at the still blue and clear sky.

Then he turned sideways and glanced at the foldable "anti-UV umbrellas" carried by Song Zuer and Jiang Shuying.

Originally, Chen Yu wanted to warn the two of them about the dangers of holding an umbrella while riding a boat, but he felt that doing more would be better than doing less, so he didn't say anything.

"Sister, Zuer, you two should wear baseball caps, sun protection clothing and a raincoat."

Zhou Yangqing, who often goes out to play, is obviously aware of the troubles and hidden dangers of holding an umbrella while sailing.

So he immediately opened his mouth to point out Jiang Shuying and Song Zuer and nodded to Nazha.

In fact, the main reason why Nazha didn’t bring an umbrella was because she was worried that she might accidentally drop it into the Amazon River.

When Nazha saw Zhou Yangqing praising her silently, she immediately responded with a sweet squinting smile.

But she secretly complained that if Chen Yu was willing to take the initiative to help hold an umbrella, she would definitely bring one.

It's one of those miniature umbrellas that is so small that only two people can cling to it.

Jiang Shuying listened to the advice and forced Song Zuer to change his equipment. The latter was not uncooperative but just wanted to set off early to experience the thrill of fishing for piranha.

"How can it be [thrilling]?" Zhang Ruoyun muttered silently and glanced at the twenty-six "emergency rescue ships" around him.

Twenty-four of these boats are multifunctional speedboats of Brazil's "Inland Water Counter-Terrorism Tactics Group".

In addition, there is a military search and rescue helicopter on standby at the airstrip three kilometers away.

As for which big boss the Brazilian Ministry of Defense is using so many capable personnel and technical equipment to protect, everyone must know it well.

The initial launch of the "ecological entertainment theme park" plus the first phase investment of US$2.1 billion is worthy of Chen Yu's "public use for private use" by the generals.

Is $2.1 billion a small amount? Of course it’s not too much, but this small amount of money can bring about future economic development for the city of Manaus and the state of Amazonas.

The generals of the Brazilian Defense Ministry have a very long-term view.

This is the main reason why Chen Yu and Capital like to deal with and cooperate with them.

All bidding work for the "Eco-Entertainment Theme Park" is handled by an offshore company headquartered in the Cayman Islands.

In addition, the construction and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads and bridges in Manaus have been divided between China Construction and China Railway Group.

However, it is impossible to comment on whether there is anything fishy about it.

After all, Chen Yu is one of China's top "business cards" for communicating with the outside world and demonstrating "soft power."

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Shuying and Song Zuer, who had changed their gear again, jogged hand in hand back to the hotel dock.

"There are three boats, let's divide them into groups." Jing Boran raised his left arm and asked everyone to gather towards him.

"I can't swim without a lifebuoy." Nazha spoke first and then leaned a little closer to Chen Yu.

Her idea was that the three boats and seven "sailors" must be grouped in a "three-two-two" manner.

So Nazha planned to "get alone" with Chen Yu, even if there was an additional videographer sitting at the bow of the boat.

But obviously Song Zuer did not match up with Nazha's channel. As soon as the little sister heard that the third sister could not swim, she immediately acted as a "flower protector".

So the final grouping becomes:
Zhang Ruoyun + Zhou Yangqing are full of confidence in the team;
Jing Boran + Jiang Shuying are a decent team;
No one in Chen Yu + Nazha + Song Zuer knows how to fish.

"Brother Xiaoyu, I'm a little scared, and I don't know how to swim."

Xiaopang, who was sitting on the bow of the boat and was serving as a cameraman, blinked at Chen Yu. At this moment, a thin layer of sweat was already oozing out from his forehead and nose.

"Relax, as long as the three of you can promise not to mess with this boat, there won't be any problems."

Because Chen Yu, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, was squeezed tightly against the engine protective cover.

Glancing at the two teams of Zhang Ruoyun and Jing Boran who set out first, Chen Yu once again asked everyone to check each other's life jackets before pulling the "string" to set sail.

Although Chen Yu is not good at fishing, he is extremely good at driving this kind of small boat because he always played with Emmanuel and others in the United States.

Therefore, compared to Zhang Ruoyun's drawing circles on the spot and Jing Boran's frequent deviations from the course, Chen Yu's boat was traveling very steadily.

This also made Zhou Yangqing and Jiang Shuyingchao, who were frightened and screaming from time to time, envious of Nazha and Song Zuer, who could laugh and pose casually at this moment.

The fat man who was the cameraman of Chen Yu's boat also waved to the other two companions in a particularly arrogant manner.

There is no harm without comparison.

"Chen Yu, come and help us, Comrade Xiaojing has stopped the engine again!" Jiang Shuying put her hands to her mouth and shouted at Chen Yu.

Not only did the engine of Jing Boran's boat fail, it also sailed into a large field of waterweed.

Nazha turned around and tugged on Chen Yu's sleeve and asked Jing Boran if there were any crocodiles hidden there? As soon as Song Zuer heard this, his beautiful eyes widened and he looked around.

But the cameraman was a little scared and kept telling Chen Yu to "be careful and be careful."

Mr. Scars, the local "fisherman's union chairman" who is responsible for guiding this work, smiled and told everyone that 99% of the crocodiles here are equipped with "identity beacons" so that they can receive advance warning if they approach.

Chen Yu and Mr. Scars's boat sailed next to Jing Boran. "You have to be gentle with this engine." Chen Yu glanced at it and knew that the reason for stalling was "overload."

The small propeller at the end of the connecting rod was not enough to crush the water plants and waterweed surrounding it, and Jing Boran continued to "fuel" the engine, causing the engine to turn on the protection function.

At this moment, we can only wait for it to cool down completely before replacing the special aluminum antimony alloy fuse wire.

Therefore, Chen Yu could only use the "parallel connection device" to combine Jing Boran's boat with his own.

While this will significantly slow down progress it can improve stability.

In fact, Jing Boran originally wanted to paddle to the waters where he could catch piranha.

But Mr. Scars believed that this was a feat that even Chen Yu could not accomplish, so he advised Jing Boran, who was even weaker in physical strength, to face reality.

But from the main road at the west end of the Amazon River to the fishing spot at the southeast end, you really need to paddle for a distance of about three hundred meters.

Chen Yu knew the horror of the creatures in the water, so he repeatedly told Jing Boran, who was too slow and planned to push the boat through the water, not to go in.

It would be better if it was just absorbed by the leech. After all, that thing can be solved with salt or a knife.

But if the "toothpick fish" got entangled, Jing Boran would probably have to fly directly back to Manaus for surgery.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, "Hua Shao" and his group of seven people arrived safely in the waters where they were fishing for piranha.

Chen Yu is good at controlling boats, but he can't help Song Zuer and Nazha in fishing.

Therefore, the first person to take over the fishing rod and strive for a "good start" was little Comrade Song Zuer who silently ate fruit all the way.

After Nazha helped her put on the fishing bait, Song Zuer threw the fishing rod into the Amazon River very gracefully.

Chen Yu, a fellow from Tianjin who went to the United States to study alone at the age of fifteen, is very familiar with fishing.

She probably played this thing a lot when she was in the United States. After all, throwing a pole while sitting on a swaying boat and standing steadily on the shore are two different things.

Mr. Scars next to him also gave Song Zuer a thumbs up.

Although the overall movements are a little laggy and inconsistent, the basic essentials are mastered very solidly.

But Song Zuer, who is relatively professional, is not the first player to catch a piranha.

Zhang Ruoyun, who often led Tang Yixin to fish in reservoirs or rivers, took the lead.

Caught a piranha weighing about two pounds.

"Hey, ugly!"

After seeing what this thing looked like at close range, Song Zuer instantly lost interest in continuing fishing.

She thought that the fierce "fish" should have a super cute and charming appearance like a certain world-class boxing champion!
"[Shark] is fierce enough, but is it cute?" Jiang Shuying laughed loudly and laughed at Song Zuer's funny point of view.

"[Big Shark] is O'Neal and [Little Shark] is Bynum. What does they have to do with Chen Yu?"

Song Zuer carefully handed the fishing rod to Nazha, then turned her head and looked at Jiang Shuying in confusion.

"Zu'er went to the United States to study in 2013. Did you and Chen Yu have any interactions at that time?"

Nazha gently shook the fishing rod a few times so that the bait could attract the nearby piranha.

Song Zuer shook his head. At that time, she was studying in Chicago and Chen Yu was living in Texas.

"But I watched Chen Yu's game on TV. He was signed by Dana White in January 2011, and he was on the rise of his career in 2013."

Song Zuer did not brag to create the effect of the show. She did collect Chen Yu's peripherals during her years in the United States.

These small objects will be shown in the behind-the-scenes of "Flowers and Boys Season 3".

"As long as the international students I knew at that time were of Asian descent, they basically regarded Chen Yu as their idol."

Song Zuer held her chin in her hands and smiled playfully at Chen Yu.

Because Chen Yu can beat up white people, black people, Latin people, Slavs, etc. very violently,
“So all the Asian international students around me have T-shirts with Chen Yu’s face on them.”

But what Song Zuer didn't say is that many international students only call Chen Yu "Asian", and among them, Korean students call him the most popular.

Because of this incident, the Chinese students around Song Zuer once had a large-scale conflict with Korean students.

In the end, our school had to install 70 cameras capable of 360-degree surround view in public places such as cafeterias and playgrounds.

"At that time, Chen Yu gave us Chinese and Asian students the feeling of being a [protecting god]."

After Song Zuer finished speaking, he laughed out loud. After all, this metaphor was a bit inappropriate.

But that's exactly what it is.

Even today, many Chinese or Asian people in Europe and the United States are trying every possible means to get involved with Chen Yu.

This is Chen Yu's unique charm as a "world super giant" in countries and regions other than China.

　3050, I hope everyone can interact more and ask for further reading.
