Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 212 - Munich (please follow up)
The BMW Group headquarters in Munich is no stranger to Chen Yu.

Because since becoming BMW's global spokesperson for all series in January 2015, Chen Yu has come here at least once a year to shoot the latest print posters and TV commercials. At the same time, he also has to play the role of a group employee and experience a day's work surrounded by cameras.

"I remember that last year I was a [safety supervision and quality inspection engineer] who served as an assembly line."

Chen Yu pursed his lips, thought about it for a moment, and then said the job title in German. His pronunciation was extremely standard, which made the "German faction" among the BMW executives next to him very satisfied.

Mr. Hofning, Senior Executive President of the BMW Group, kindly taught Chen Yu another German sentence: "The boxing champion who cannot be defeated but is extremely cute." Although this sentence was a bit long, it did not stump him. At this moment, his attention was 100% concentrated. The old fish below.

"The enunciation is very standard! You can call it a perfect Bavarian accent, Mr. Chen."

Huofning, who is fifty-six years old this year, shook hands with Chen Yu vigorously with an expression of joy and excitement.

After a few daily pleasantries, the teams from both sides sat down on both sides of the dark brown long conference table and waited to discuss preparations for today's main topic, the "boxing match."

This purely commercial boxing match has completed the project registration process at the legal level.

At the same time, Munich bid for the host venue at a price exceeding Berlin's 29 million euros. Of course, this also means that the Munich city government will participate in the dividends of the event.

"Last night, the apartment of Berlin Mayor Michael Miller was surrounded by disappointed boxing fans and fight fans. People did not disperse until he personally came out to apologize."

Hofning tapped the table with the back of his hand and gloated, winking at everyone present and sarcastically speaking loudly.

Munich citizens and Berlin citizens over the age of fifty will basically not give each other any good looks or attitudes.

You can cheer for Bayer Leverkusen or Borussia Dortmund in a bar in Munich, but it's best not to cheer for the Berlin team, otherwise you will easily be excluded.

The "ostracism" that Chen Yu just talked about is a very euphemistic and even extremely civilized term.

In fact, this kind of item-by-item discussion is very boring for Chen Yu, because Chen Yu has no say or decision-making power on many detailed issues.

He is only responsible for specifying the contract structure and initial content to the business team and legal team. As for how to fill it in, that is what the professional team needs to worry about.

So now Chen Yu could only talk to the little old man Huo Fening about sports and entertainment circles.

But Hofning's favorite is baseball, while Chen Yu is very unfamiliar with this sport. He only knows a few rules such as "strikeouts" and "base running".

To be honest, Hofning's "Baseball Science Lecture" made Chen Yu feel sleepy.

"How about you do some activities and finish shooting this year's indoor and workshop posters?" Hofning drank the fragrant Blue Mountain coffee and finally "saw the picture."

Chen Yu unbuttoned the collar of his white shirt and looked around the conference room. Rather than taking pictures of flat posters, it seemed that it was better to meditate and wander around here, at least without having to fake a smile.

Emmanuel coughed lightly and wrote a note to Chen Yu, "Get out quickly and don't affect our negotiation mood. It's best not to step into this room before four o'clock in the afternoon."

Because Chen Yu has already entered the established European and American capital circles, he subconsciously glanced at him for advice when exchanging views between the two parties in the conference room.

In addition, the four girls from the BMW Group who were responsible for the early stage marketing of the event often looked in the direction where Chen Yu was sitting, which greatly delayed the efficiency of discussions, so Chen Yu had to get out.

Chen Yu crumpled the note into a ball and put it in his suit pocket, then walked out of the conference room with Hofning.

Taking the elevator down to the fifth floor, the thirty-three-person filming team was already ready. Chen Yu looked back at the little old man Hofning with a half-smile but not a smile.

Huofning did not explain but used standard gentlemanly courtesy to invite Chen Yu to chat with the photographer.

The person in charge of the photography, editing and directing work is the technical director of the European region of "Wisdom" magazine: Ms. Jietang Womin, one of Chen Yu's old acquaintances.

This "lesbian" girl often directs Chen Yu's advertising shoots in Europe and the United States.

In addition, Chen Yu has played crucial male protagonists in most of her award-winning works.

According to Susbini Chikan, chairman of the Jury Committee of the Hamdan International Photography Award, Ms. Womin is able to photograph the extremely cute fish with a mature taste.

However, Ms. Womin was criticized by her peers for only shooting commercial blockbusters and refusing to show the beauty of humanity.

"The theme of this graphic poster is: a touch of warmth and a little laziness. Chen, don't you understand?"

Ms. Womin, holding a shooting script in her hand, tilted her head and asked Chen Yu, who was confused in a calm tone.

To be honest, Chen Yu's confused performance at this moment was not at all what Ms. Wo Min expected. After all, Chen Yu's artistic knowledge and cultivation were infinitely close to "zero".

Since Ms. Wo Min, who was drinking watermelon juice freely in front of her, was an old acquaintance, Chen Yu nodded unabashedly.

Ms. Womin handed the empty cup to the beautiful assistant with an intellectual temperament and said calmly that as long as she obeyed her instructions and acted like a puppet like before. Why can Ms. Wo Min always maintain a very pleasant and efficient cooperation with Chen Yu?

It was because she knew that Chen Yu hated the photographer's "vague words" when taking photos.

For example, the smile is layered.

Chen Yu couldn't figure out what "layering" meant, or how far to laugh?
When Ms. Wo Min cooperates with Chen Yu, she will directly shout "amateur expressions" with clear directions and prompts such as "open your mouth," "look down," and "tilt your head to the left."

Other photographers told Chen Yu that she pursues feelings; Ms. Wo Min's photography is a snapshot, so even if Ms. Wo Min often wins awards, she will not be able to integrate into the top photography circles.

Ms. Wo Min and Chen Yu both attach great importance to utilitarianism and ignore the so-called spiritual core.

"Our poster this time does not use real cars as the background, but they are what we photographed: seventeen full-scale models." Ms. Wo Min asked her assistant to open the display cabinet.

When Chen Yu saw the exquisite model, he immediately rushed forward, while Ms. Wo Min immediately jumped up from the comfortable recliner, grabbed the camera, and clicked the shutter frantically around Chen Yu.

Ms. Womin’s team also quickly and orderly completed a series of shooting tasks such as setting, lighting, and digital imaging. Obviously, this was not the first time that Ms. Womin was so reckless.

The heroine of this graphic poster, Miss Imogen Morris Clark, who was born in London in 1992 and is the same age as Chen Yu, is still looking for thongs in the dressing room.

By the time Chen Yu woke up from the world of the model, Ms. Wo Min, who had been busy for nearly seventy minutes, had already begun urging the girl in charge of digital imaging to correct the color.

Chen Yu's partner, Ms. Clark, stood at the door in a business suit, because Ms. Womin told her that the work was completed and she could fly back to London.

As a supermodel, Clark was very angry inside, but Ms. Womin and Chen Yu, who was playing with the model, were not something her little arms and legs could afford to offend.

Seeing that begging Ms. Womin had no effect, Clark trotted all the way to Chen Yu and started acting cute, locking Chen Yu tightly with his "talking eyes".

The smart Clark understands that "acting cute" is definitely not "being mean" or "having sex", and always keeps his behavior within the scope of not being coquettish or astringent.

After all, she had done very detailed homework beforehand and already knew that Chen Yu was not a lecherous person.

The competitiveness of Clark, who is the same age as Chen Yu, in the supermodel industry is gradually declining as she gets older. Transformation is an urgent issue for Clark.

Clark used a lot of secrets from the fashion industry and the supermodel industry in exchange for this great opportunity to partner with Chen Yu. How could he allow himself to return it empty-handed in despair!

In fact, this is also the main reason why Ms. Womin does not want to have contact with her.

Although at this moment Chen Yu did not understand the reason why Ms. Womin left Clark ruthlessly, the cunning Chen Yu did not speak for Clark, but pointed him to find the management of the BMW Group for help. Clark bowed slightly to Chen Yu Bow then trotted out the door while her agent continued to stall for time.

In the end, after repeated mediation by the management of the BMW Group, Clark got his wish to partner with Chen Yu to shoot the graphic posters, and the dedicated Ms. Wo Min no longer deliberately picked on her.

In fact, Clark's agent is also promoting a small supporting role in "Knives Out."

Or it should be said that since Chen Yu was completely confirmed to star in "Knives Out", many child stars, artists who have not debuted for a long time, and those who want to transform and cross industries have successively sent their resumes to the casting team of "Knives Out", hoping to Appearing in the same frame as Chen Yu.

This situation has absolutely nothing to do with Chen Yu’s charm!
But from all aspects, Chen Yu is suitable for newcomers. In addition, his basic base in Europe and the United States is very solid. As long as the character setting, plot structure, and main plot logic of "Knives Out" can reach the passing line, the capital can be saved.

Of course, there is also about 1% factor in appearance. After all, it is better to partner with the super cute Chen Yu than to be molested by a bad old man or a middle-aged man.

"This is the first time I know that I am so popular." Chen Yu muttered leisurely to Emmanuel who was sorting out the meeting materials.

Emmanuel's reply to this was a sneer. He found that Chen Yu was very shameless at times and always liked to pretend that he didn't know and let others say complimentary things to him over and over again.

"The third round of discussions about [the boxing match] is over. Don't you want to know the consensus reached and the terms signed?" Emmanuel patted his briefcase and winked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took a sip of the slightly cold soda water. He knew that at this stage, not even one-fifth of the overall progress had been completed, so there was no need to worry about what had been discussed.

Because it is very likely that in the fourth round of joint discussions, all the previously agreed terms will be overturned and the negotiations will be renegotiated.

Even Chen Yu didn't want to know who his opponent was.

Anyway, as long as it's the same weight as him and it's human, no matter who comes on the field, they will die.

"The guest lineup of "Kunlun Jue" has temporarily changed, so you have to be mentally prepared in advance."

Emmanuel raised his wrist to look at his watch and urged Chen Yu, who was hesitating between apples and pears, to hurry up.
