Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 168 - Girls, there are so many things to do (please follow up)
On the flight from Los Angeles to Austin, the capital of Texas, Chen Yu's mind began to recall yesterday's meeting with Lane and Karnowski.

In particular, the last three discussed the question of who to choose as the female lead in the movie "Knives Out" would be more suitable for the role.

Recently, the casting studio has submitted a repeatedly screened candidate list for the "female lead" after in-depth study of the script:
Among them, Jodie Comer, who was born in 1993, and Margot Robbie, who was born in 1990, were directly classified into the first echelon.

Judy can make the female lead a gentle but resolute assistant beside Chen Yu, while Margot can give the female lead the agility and agility of a "little wild cat". Their advantage is to act as a "vase" while not delaying the performance of his acting skills.

But because Lionsgate Pictures is determined to create "Knives Out" into a new modern urban "detective series".

Therefore, Margot is not sure that she can take on the follow-up works, because she still has a film contract with Warner Bros.

Instead, Judy took the initiative to express her great interest in following "Knives Out" and experiencing various tense and complicated cases.

And Lionsgate also appreciates Judy, who has a well-behaved personality but can handle multiple roles.

Although Margot's appearance and acting skills are also highly praised, her ambition seems a bit too big, and Lionsgate Pictures feels that she may become a troublesome person in the future.

In addition, Margot has recently been trying to get rid of the dazzling label of "blonde beauty" on her head, so she may modify the script to achieve the purpose of transformation.

This is extremely difficult to accept for Ryan, who is also a producer, screenwriter, and director.

Ryan will only give his idol Chen Yu the special right to modify the script and adjust the character, while the other actors must follow the route he planned.

As for the actor's "walking" posture, it's up to you as long as it doesn't affect the shooting effect.

Lane often encourages actors to express themselves as best as possible in the field he constructs. In fact, Lane wants actors to write "proposition compositions."

Therefore, it is difficult for Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds to contribute wonderful performances in his crew.

On the other hand, many European and American artists like Ryan's directing style very much, because he will tell you straightforwardly what effect should be shown in front of the camera.

Of course, this has also made Laing unpopular with mainstream European and American awards. Although the judges recognized his directing ability, the films Laing produced were like "mathematical formulas" and lacked unexpected improvisations and few surprises.

But for Chen Yu, he was very lucky to join Ryan's crew for the first time on the big screen.

Because Ryan can make the "acting idiot" Chen Yu perform the correct movements in the right position, instead of using some "image flow" to force Chen Yu to explore on his own.

To put it bluntly, if Chen Yu was placed on Christopher Nolan's crew, either Chen Yu would go crazy or Nolan would have a nervous breakdown.

DiCaprio once complained about Nolan in an interview with British ITV:
When filming a corridor scene in "Inception", he (Nolan) made me and Joseph run over and over again. We were tortured for nearly three hours.

As a result, he said in an apologetic Cockney accent, "Man, how about we try walking over slowly one after the other?"
Therefore, Emanuel anchored Chen Yu's big screen debut in "Knives Out" after many levels of consideration.

"According to the current situation, Jodie Comer may become the female lead in "Knives Out"." Chen Yu scratched the tip of his nose and muttered silently.

Ana de Armas, whom Manuel Yin wanted Chen Yu to recommend, was in the second echelon of the list of people living together with Adelaide Kane, who was born in 1990.

Anna and Adelaide's appearance is higher than their acting skills. In the eyes of Ryan and Lionsgate Pictures, they are actors with a "vase" nature.

But the two of them have low remuneration and can directly sign two "Knives Out" film contracts, so it is more appropriate to calculate the financial balance.

But if the female lead is selected from these two young ladies, it will weaken the "functionality" that the female lead should have in the movie.

It forced Ryan to re-revise some of the character settings of the female lead from a pure "vase" perspective. Although the workload was not large, Ryan felt it was a bit of a waste of time.

It depends on what Lionsgate and Ryan decide. If you want to balance the costs, it will definitely be more cost-effective to use one of Anna or Adelaide than to sign Judy.

On the other hand, if you want to pursue the overall quality of the finished film, inviting Judy to join the team will definitely meet all needs.

According to the current market price, Judy's salary is US$3 million more than Anna; and US$4 million more than Adelaide.

As for the third echelon listed at the end of this list, there are some female artists who are tempted.

For example, Saoirse Ronan was born in 1994, Vanessa Kirby was born in 1988, Olivia Cooke was born in 1993, and more than ten others.

The funniest thing is that even Miss "Hermione" used the name of Chen Yu's fan to send an olive branch to the crew through her agent, hoping to work together with her idol.

But neither Lionsgate, Ryan nor Chen Yu took Emma Watson’s letter seriously.

After all, that young lady is famous and unparalleled in the world of women’s rights, and the small ruined temple of “Knives Out” cannot accommodate Emma Watson’s giant Buddha.

So based on the above situation, the female lead in "Knives Out" is nothing more than: Judy, Anna or Adelaide.

But what is more interesting is that in the voting activities on "Who is Chen more compatible with" on social platforms such as Reddit and Tumblr, Adelaide and Judy basically occupy the top seven or even the top five positions, while Chen Yu's real fiancée Dilraba Dilraba has always been hovering between tenth and seventeenth.

In addition, Lin Yoona's ranking also bounced back and forth between ninth and fourteenth, while Guli Nazha was not on the list at all.

Many fans of Reba and Nazha had used ticket swiping before, but unfortunately, these accounts that had escaped through the wall were all banned by the platform administrator.

Of course, there are a handful of idiots in Liu Yifei’s Yi family who are scolding Alice, dichlorvos, chocolate, and Venus charms, while shouting that foreign idiots have no sense of aesthetics. Why don’t they include “fairy sisters” in this list? in the global list. All in all, the behavior was so confusing that fans of Reba and Nazha didn’t know how to respond.

On the other hand, Liu Yifei still showed the good manners she should have when facing this matter.

She said that the entertainment list is just for fun. If it is taken as "real", it will lose its original intention and become a "burden".

The words "fairy sister" not only helped her get out of the "noose", but also helped to pull Dilraba out of the embarrassing quagmire.

After all, Reba is Chen Yu's official girlfriend (fiancée), but Chen Yu's boxing fans and fans abroad don't recognize her at all.

Even a Korean second-generation idol can be ranked in front of Reba. This phenomenon really makes Reba feel a little embarrassed.

But after Liu Yifei said this, the situation changed instantly.

"Sister Tianxian" characterizes similar lists as "entertainment" and reminds everyone not to forget the "original intention" and not to "take it seriously."

Then the matter of her being unknown on the list and being in an awkward position with Reba was successfully revealed.

And this kind of ranking has completely become a "wild list" with no credibility and authority. If any company comes up with it again, it will be jointly attacked by Liu Yifei fans and Dilraba fans. It is guaranteed that You were slaughtered without a blade of grass growing or a corpse left.

In fact, Reba could also say what Liu Yifei said before, but due to her special status, it would have no effect even if she released it.

So this time Reba really has to accept the offer of help from the "fairy sister".

But at present, they are both producers of "One Song and Three Shengs", so it is normal for them to have an affair with each other. Besides, Liu Yifei doesn't like cute boys either.

So whenever Liu Xiaoli mentioned that she should cooperate with Chen Yu, the young lady would always find various excuses to avoid the offer.

In addition, Dilraba is Chen Yu’s official fiancée. It would be extremely embarrassing if she played the role of a young couple or a young couple with Chen Yu in a movie or TV drama!

I have to say that Liu Yifei's brain circuit is sometimes very strange, but this "fairy sister" really feels that Chen Yu will look like a girl after leaving the octagonal cage.

That's right, Chen Yu, who is considered super cute by most people, is the boy next door to "girls" in Liu Yifei's eyes.

"Hey, the get-together between Reba, Nazha and Tong Liya the past two days has been on the hot search for so long, don't you have any sense of urgency?"

Liu Xiaoli raised her index finger and gently poked Liu Yifei, who was teasing the cat. She was worried that [Three Beauties of New Province] would secretly establish an "offensive and defensive alliance".

Liu Yifei gently scratched the kitten's belly and then said lazily that she couldn't get along with the three of them talking Uyghur together.

In addition, "Sister Tianxian" has never thought of having any substantial contact with Reba, Nazha, Tong Liya and others.

Liu Yifei believed that she was not in the same dimension as the three of them, so there was no need to force the situation.

Liu Yifei's current target is the group of ancient Tsing Yis. Even though she returned to the small screen for various reasons, she has not lost heart.

Therefore, Reba and Nazha, who are popular, really don't like her, while Tong Liya, who is developing in an all-round way, is a jack of all trades.

Liu Xiaoli could only sigh silently in her heart when she saw her daughter looking so tired.

Although Liu Yifei has never been "elegant" in normal times, her experiences in recent years have not been able to erase her "edges and corners."

Liu Xiaoli felt that even if her daughter compromised, she would find some ground in other ways.

So now it's hard for her to force Liu Yifei to accept endorsements or scripts she doesn't like.

But to be honest, Liu Xiaoli felt that her girl's vision in selecting scripts was not that strong.

"Chen Yu has teamed up with a bunch of capital to build an ecological entertainment theme park in Manaus, Brazil. There will be a charity match there soon. Why don't you come over and take a look?"

Liu Yifei did not ask Liu Xiaoli where she got the invitation letter, "Will Dilraba be there?"

Liu Yifei's words made Liu Xiaoli startled, and then she looked at her daughter in surprise.

"As I said, my real fiancée isn't going, so why should I join in the fun?" Liu Yifei kissed the cat's little face.

"It's not like there are so many things that Chen Yu convened independently! Moreover, this kind of gathering of celebrities from all over the world, no matter their identity, it would be most embarrassing for those who don't go,"

Liu Xiaoli rubbed her daughter's head. She felt that Di Lieba had no confidence in avoiding her.

Liu Yifei said nothing, but slowly picked up the cat and nuzzled it gently.
