Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 187 - Random Thoughts from Reba (please follow up)

"Chen Yu, what do you think of the [workplace bullying] incident mentioned on the Internet?" The young lady with a Southern Metropolis Daily work permit on her neck squeezed to the front row with great effort, stretched the microphone to Chen Yu's mouth, and simultaneously Looked at Chen Yu with pleading and hopeful eyes.

But Chen Yu ignored her and stopped, took the microphone with the "Tencent" logo and started talking.

"I think "Flowers and Boys Season 3" will allow the audience to gain a different kind of happiness and see the joy and sorrow of the artists." Chen Yu's eyes were a little wandering when he answered the question. This belongs to the category where he tried to remember after forgetting the words. More obvious external manifestations.

When Zhang Songwen was teaching Chen Yu before, he reminded the latter to overcome this small move, but so far, it seems that Chen Yu has not made corrections according to Zhang Songwen's request.

When Chen Yu handed the microphone back to the little brother who had a "Tencent" press card on his chest, the young lady once again asked Chen Yu questions on behalf of the Southern Metropolis Daily.

This time, Chen Yu was holding a microphone with a "cat's eye movie" in his hand while strolling leisurely and slowly towards the parking lot.

He said that "Flowers and Boys Season 3" has not yet made plans to shoot a "big movie". If there are new developments, I believe Mango TV will release a draft in advance.

In fact, Mango TV has considered this matter, but due to funding issues and word-of-mouth risks, it has been shelved. At this stage, all estimates indicate that "Flowers and Boys Season 3" will be a hit, which means that "Hua Shao Shao" will no longer be considered. “The price paid by the eight members coming together was higher.

Even if the "salary limit order" is immediately implemented, Mango TV is still daunted by this large salary. In addition, Mango TV has already made arrangements for the resources in the next two years.

Therefore, it is difficult to offset this huge expenditure by using a method similar to resource replacement. In addition, there are always conflicts between the schedules of the eight members of "Hua Shao" and it is difficult to adjust them. Mango TV simply used the behind-the-scenes to edit a special edition. Instead of big movies.

Furthermore, even if the schedules of Chen Yu and others allowed, no one else would be willing to join forces with Mango TV to produce this big movie.

Because it is difficult to achieve "balance" whether it is conceiving the script framework, outlining the relationship between the characters, or selecting the location.

Everyone is not a big fool. They rush to throw money into the project just based on the cast list provided by Mango TV.

Therefore, in order not to overdraw the audience's expectations and investment reputation of "Flowers and Boys Season 4" in advance, Mango TV decisively decided to shelve the "big movie" plan.

The above content was privately told to the eight members of "Hua Shao" by Wu Mengzhi, the chief director of "Hua Shao", so it was inconvenient for Chen Yu to reveal it to the outside world and he could only evade it elsewhere.

Seeing Chen Yu return the microphone, the lady who worked for "Southern Metropolis Daily" asked Chen Yu neatly for the third time.

But at this moment, Reba rushed into Chen Yu's arms, and the young couple showered the fans and media with sweet treats in broad daylight.

"After the filming of "Fire Like a Song" is completed, Tongtong will join the crew of "Begonia: Rain and Rouge" and collaborate with my junior fellow student Deng Lun to interpret the love story of the Republic of China."

Reba helped her close confidants to promote the new drama. At the same time, she also welcomed everyone to the media visit organized by the crew of "Fire Like a Song" on Sunday.

He also emphasized that this media visit day is the last one before the filming of "Fire Like a Song" is completed. At that time, all members of the crew will have interesting interactions with the media.

"So Reba, do you have any plans to star in movies or TV series with your boyfriend?" A petite sister handed over a microphone with a "Weibo" logo.

Recently, there was news within Tencent that the platform's super heavyweight project "Celebrating More Than Years" has planned to send out invitations to join the young couple Dilraba and Chen Yu.

There is also another "serious drama" that quietly extended an olive branch to Chen Yu and Dilraba Dilraba, but in this drama the latter's role is less, although she is named the "female lead", but at best it can be regarded as a friendly appearance.

It has to be said that Emmanuel values ​​the drama "Icebreaker" more than the popular "Celebrating More Than Years", but the problem is that Chen Yu's professional skills seem to be unable to support the role.

But a certain ministry as the employer behind the scenes wanted Chen Yu to take over the job.

After discussion, they believed that Chen Yu was very close to an anti-drug undercover agent in terms of temperament, appearance and personality.

First of all, Chen Yu's appearance is universally recognized as cute. Even Liu Yifei, Li Yitong and others who don't like him can't slander or deny this.

This is more realistic than finding an actor with strong eyes, an upright face and a tall body.

Chen Yu's good looks can make people lower their guard, rather than making them look like a righteous young man.

This is the best choice that combines artistry and authenticity, and is more suitable than Yang Yang, Xiao Zhan, and Wang Yibo recommended by iQiyi.

In addition, Chen Yu's ferocity and ruthlessness shown in the octagonal cage are more consistent with the behavior of criminals. This point cannot impress and infect the audience by performing alone.

Therefore, all the niche actors currently on the market are unqualified, and Jia Shikai also refuses to let Yang Yang do bad things on screen, even as an "undercover drug agent."

Qiancheng Film and Television took the initiative to express Huang Jingyu's willingness to break through himself, but Fu Dongyu and Liu Zhangmu, the directors of the series appointed by iQiyi, did not like Huang Jingyu at all.

The main reason is that "Operation Red Sea" starring Huang Jingyu is likely to be released in theaters before the broadcast of "Operation Icebreaker". If the movie overlaps with the series, it will be very easy for the audience to have a vague and confused feeling about Huang Jingyu's role.

Furthermore, if the project signs Huang Jingyu's series of publicity road shows for "Operation Red Sea", it will greatly affect the filming progress of "Operation Icebreaker" and the status of the actors.

Therefore, iQiyi can only regard Huang Jingyu as Chen Yu's "substitute".

In addition, Xiao Zhan was eliminated because the schedule could not be reconciled. Due to the special nature of the management behind "Ice Breaking Operation", Xiao Zhan could not participate in the show as usual. "Operation Icebreaker" will start filming in mid-March next year, and iQiyi hopes that Emmanuel and Chen Yu will respond before the end of April this year at the latest whether they will take on the series.

This is because iQiyi needs to set aside sufficient time to communicate and negotiate with the public security organs, and also needs to set up scenes on a large scale.

At the same time, if Chen Yu "accepted the invitation to attend the appointment," then the script would have to be readjusted based on Chen Yu's image and character.

In fact, iQiyi's big data intelligent "Yihui Casting System" also marked "Chen Yu" as the first choice for the most suitable character.

Huang Jingyu, who ranked second, was a full 31% lower than Chen Yu's recommendation, and could only be regarded as a "passing" standard.

"So why do you still have any hesitation about this matter?" Reba leaned in Chen Yu's arms and looked at the street scene passing by outside the car window.

"Operation Ice Breaking" has been designated by Mango TV as a key investment project in 2019, and CCTV is also interested in participating.

Regarding remuneration, Gong Yu, the founder and CEO of iQiyi, did not emphasize that the "Opinions on the Cost Allocation Ratio of the Production of TV Series and Online Dramas" will be implemented in late September this year.

He promised Emmanuel that if Chen Yu is willing to confirm his participation in the drama before the end of April, then Chen Yu can still receive an after-tax remuneration of 2.9 million yuan for a single episode, totaling 130.5 million yuan. .

"Seize the opportunity. After the "Salary Restriction Order" is implemented, you and I will only be able to get a [capped] salary of 50 million yuan before tax, Mr. International Super Giant!"

Reba gently pinched the tip of Chen Yu's nose and gloated.

If we go by what Reba said, Chen Yu feels that there is no need for him to participate in Chinese film and television productions after September 2017.

Moreover, Chen Yu has always despised the police and criminal and criminal investigation-themed film and television dramas directed by mainland China.

In Hong Kong, Johnnie To's gang-related movies are pretty good and have some highlights.

It's a pity that the "Infernal Affairs" series has not broken away from the traditional trap of "good and evil will eventually be rewarded" and "evil never prevails over good".

When Reba heard this, she immediately got up from Chen Yu's arms. She felt that Chen Yu was completely ignoring the rules and only talking about useless ideals.

Reba sat upright with her back straight and began to teach Chen Yu ideological and moral lessons. Society needs positive energy, so film and television dramas must be created and constructed based on this point.

Reba cleared her throat and said:
"Certain social evils can be added to film and television dramas and reflect certain social defects, but in the end they must be based on truth, goodness and beauty!"

Keke, the new driving assistant, felt her hair stand up when hearing Reba's words, but she was also very glad that her boss never spoke in a bureaucratic tone during meetings.

Chen Yu was also grinning at what Reba said but didn't know how to refute it. Reba said that she couldn't "refute" to prove that she was right.

Taking advantage of this moment when her boyfriend was choked by her and became speechless, Reba continued to persuade Chen Yu to take on this drama.

"Even if your home base is in the European and American film and television circles, you still have to leave some works in the Chinese film and television circles, right?"

Reba stood up and straddled Chen Yu's legs and said coquettishly, after all, Chen Yu joined the crew of "Operation Ice Breaking", and she could also join as the female lead.

Even if she is the female lead without much role or presence, it is a good opportunity for Reba to star in a "serious drama" again after "Anarkhan".

In addition, iQiyi has privately promised Reba that if Chen Yu agrees to participate, Reba's role will be adapted based on Chen Yu's character.

"So just agree to your wife's little wish, please husband."

Reba put her hands around Chen Yu's neck and rocked it back and forth. At the same time, her "pear-shaped buttocks" kept rubbing against Chen Yu's legs.

But Chen Yu couldn't agree easily because of Reba's bewitchment and nagging.
He needs to let his management team conduct a comprehensive evaluation before deciding whether to participate in the drama "Operation Icebreaker".

In fact, Chen Yu really doesn't like playing the role of a "policeman", let alone an "undercover" guy.

Reba put her arms around Chen Yu's neck and brought her soft and tender lips to Chen Yu's. She bared her little white teeth and bit Chen Yu hard.

After taking revenge, Reba didn't mention the drama "Icebreaker" again, just letting her boyfriend know her thoughts.

Moreover, Reba also told Chen Yu very frankly about the conditions and price that iQiyi had listed for her.

"Sincerity" is one of the important factors that allows Reba to catch the "fish".

　3091, I hope everyone can interact more and ask for further reading.
