Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 243 - I can’t get it out!

"Excuse me, Chen Yu, what do you think about some netizens expecting you to hit Japanese boxer Sho Kimura hard?"

The reporter from "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" was very tactful in his wording and did not directly state the exact words.

But at this moment, Chen Yu had no time to deal with the "long guns and short guns" surrounding him, because he was discussing with Meng Ziyi's team how to "each go back to his own home."

Meng Ziyi's agent will first go back to Yue Kai Film and Television to have a small meeting with Jia Shikai, and report to the boss face to face all aspects of Meng Ziyi's performance during this period.

At the same time, we will confirm Meng Ziyi's various schedules from the end of May to the end of June, especially business activities, cover shooting, and recording variety shows.

Since Meng Ziyi often hangs around Chen Yu recently, his attention and discussion have increased significantly, and he has also received many invitations.

Unfortunately, except for Dilraba, it is simply a "fantasy" for female artists to tie up Chen Yu for a long time for marketing, popularity, and traffic.

"You come with us. We'll take you to Wangjing Jinmao Mansion first, and then we'll go to Yuekai Film and Television. We won't go far."

Meng Ziyi's manager was really reluctant to let Chen Yu go, and even tried to keep him for forty minutes longer.

But Chen Yu looked at Meng Ziyi who was interacting with fans five meters away and waved his hands repeatedly. He wanted to feel the tranquility of the air and give his ears a break.

From joining the crew of "Operation Icebreaker" to filming "Chinese Restaurant" together, Chen Yu felt that Meng Ziyi seemed to be more eloquent than the "Talkacious Princess of Jinmen".

When Meng Ziyi's manager mentioned this, her face immediately became filled with sadness. Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer could really chat happily from sunrise to moonset.

Regardless of the matter of Chen sesame and rotten millet, both of them can give birth to a new interpretation from a unique angle.

Meng Ziyi's agent thinks that even if Sister Meng and Song Zuer don't enter the entertainment industry, they can still make a name for themselves with their own words!

After making some harsh remarks about Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer, Meng Ziyi's manager asked another serious question.

"The day after tomorrow, Meng Ziyi went to the crew of "The Wandering Earth" to visit Song Zuer's class. Do you want to come with us? I heard that Wu Jing may also be on the set."

Since "Wolf Warrior" achieved modest success at the box office, Wu Jing has liked to invest in projects that were not favored by the industry, such as "Wolf Warrior II" and "The Wandering Earth."

But it should be noted that Wu Jing only spent money on the works of acquaintances. His initial investment share in "The Wandering Earth" was exactly the same as Chen Yu's, both only 30 million yuan.

Later, Wu Jing inspected and visited the set many times, and saw firsthand the hardship of the working environment and the dedication of all the cast and crew.

In addition, director Guo Fan was so damn good that he and Chen Yu invested 20 million yuan, so Wu Jing decided to add 30 million yuan.

In addition, Wu Jing also changed his original role as a friendly guest star into a starring role in filming with the team. It must be said that Wu Jing does have a heart that likes to toss.

But Chen Yu, who was about to run to the United States, didn't think of "The Wandering Earth" as a waste of time.

Therefore, he did not clearly reply to Meng Ziyi's manager whether she would go to visit the class.

After all, Dilraba was also enjoying a short vacation at home, and Chen Yu was afraid that she would suddenly want to go to the set of "The Wandering Earth" to watch China's first hard-core science fiction masterpiece.

In fact, Meng Ziyi's manager had other reasons for arranging for Meng Ziyi to visit the class.

The plan is to let Meng Ziyi play a cameo role in China's first hard-core science fiction blockbuster, so that Meng Ziyi can add a big screen resume.

Meng Ziyi currently has "zero" big screen credits, and asking Chen Yu to accompany Meng Ziyi was because he wanted to use his energy to pick a decent role.

As for the series of favors Meng Ziyi owes to Chen Yu, Yue Kai Film and Television can transfer them to its current strategic partner, Dilireba Studio.

In this way, Chen Yu can not be disgusted and can further deepen the relationship with Dilraba's studio.

Currently, the projects that Dilraba Studio has negotiated and are currently working on are more suitable for Jiu Wuhua to participate.

Therefore, Yue Kai Film and Television plans to insert Meng Ziyi in order to be in the same frame with Li Yitong again, or to start a journey of cooperation with Dilmurat Dilraba.

At present, Yue Kai Film and Television is targeting two idol dramas, "Chen Xi Yuan" in July this year and "Dear, Beloved" in April next year, which may be a small hit or a big hit.

The male lead in "Chen Xi Yuan" has not yet been finalized, but Dilraba has already signed the female lead, and Li Yitong will be the second female lead.

Meng Ziyi may be able to join in as a friendly star. The friendly star is to avoid the issue of ranking.

Huace Film and Television and Dilraba Studio, the two major investors of "Chen Xi Yuan", have agreed to Yue Kai Film and Television's plan.

However, the chief director, Ms. Lin Yufen, is a little hesitant. She prefers Zhang Zhixi or Mao Xiaotong to play Yuan Tong as a friend, because the interpretation of this role is relatively difficult.

After Li Yitong, who has good professional skills, was confirmed to play the second female lead, Lin Yufen was somewhat worried that Meng Ziyi would mess up, which would affect the overall quality of "Chen Xi Yuan".

It needs to be mentioned here that the other director of "Chen Xi Yuan" is Liang Shengquan, who has just completed "Fire Like a Song" with Dilraba Dilraba. The latter once thought about resigning. But because the labor fee was relatively sufficient and there was Lin Yufen carrying the thunder above my head, I thought about it again and again, gritted my teeth and gave up the idea.

In addition, Liang Shengquan also supported the appropriate increase of Li Yitong's role. As for whether Dilraba needed to be adjusted, Liang Shengquan did not comment and passed the question to Lin Yufen.

Regarding the male protagonist of "Chen Xi Yuan", Huace Film and Television initially wanted to find Chen Yu to partner with Dilraba, but they encountered collective resistance and opposition from producer Liu Zhi and the screenwriting team.

Even before director Liang Shengquan could explain the many disadvantages of hiring Chen Yu, the plan was completely dead.

Whether Chen Yu can be the male protagonist of "Chen Xi Yuan" has nothing to do with his professional ability, but his image and temperament!
There are no Gods of War in costume dramas who are cute. Besides, it doesn’t mean that wearing a mask can solve the problem. If you fool the audience, the entire drama will be scolded.

In fact, Huace Film and Television also knows the disadvantages of letting Chen Yu be the male lead, but as a management company, we cannot just consider the series itself, but need to consider other factors.

As for Dilraba's studio, it is not convenient to express her opinions publicly because the boss lady is involved, but privately Dilraba still strongly agrees with director Liang Shengquan's views.

In addition, Dilraba knew that Chen Yu's schedule did not allow her to join the cast of "Chen Xi Yuan".

Moreover, it would be particularly awkward to partner with an ancient idol like Chen Yu, who has a hatred of the country and family.

If she had to be in the same frame as Chen Yu, Reba would prefer to be in a sweet drama that doesn't require brains.

"So as of today, the male lead of "Chen Xi Yuan" has not been decided yet?" Chen Yu and Dilraba, who had already arrived at Wangjing Jinmao Mansion, were walking in the small square in the community.

"We are in contact with three classmates, Zhang Zhen, Ren Jialun, and Li Xian." Dilireba took out a pack of Skittles from the outer pocket of her baseball jersey. She specially picked the red ones to eat.

Jing Boran also wanted to give it a try, but he was very hesitant due to the extremely unpredictable release date of "Nanyanzhai Notes".

In addition, Jia Shikai wanted to recommend Yang Yang, but the latter was afraid that he would be blamed for the heroine's acting problems, so he refused to join the cast.

Because Yang Yang was bitten by a snake and was afraid of ropes for ten years, Jia Shikai could only express his sincere apology to Dilraba Dilraba and the crew of "The Legend of Chen Xi".

But Yang Yang also gained something. For example, director Liang Shengquan secretly approved of his persistence and put him on the high-quality watch list.

According to the latest information from Lingling, Zhang Zhen has received the support of director Lin Yufen.

Li Xian is favored by director Liang Shengquan and producer Liu Zhi.

Ren Jialun from "Happy Century" is a self-recommended type of actor whose main focus is that the pay is relatively low, and he can also guarantee time with the cast.

Although Ren Jialun and Yang Zi belong to the same agency, Dilraba Dilmurat doesn't mind cooperating with him.

But Dilraba heard from Yang Zi that Ren Jialun's wife Nie Huan was a comrade who took special care of her husband, so she was worried that Nie Huan would cause trouble.

"On paper, it seems that Li Xian has a higher chance of entering the group." Dilraba put the remaining Skittles into Chen Yu's hand, and then asked him about returning to the United States.

"Mainly to get familiar with the new training intensity and prepare for the boxing match. At the same time, I also checked in with the crew of "Knives Out" to start my [Chinese-American Detective Journey]."

Chen Yu is initially scheduled to leave next Tuesday. Originally, Reba's parents wanted to go to the United States with Chen Yu to attend the invitation of the latter's parents.

However, due to Reba's cuteness and acting, she could only change the plan and postpone it to June when Reba's schedule is loose to accompany her.

Chen Yu was startled when he heard this. In June, Reba should be filming the bad movie "Jieyou Grocery Store". How could she have time?
"You're saying that "Worry-Free Grocery Store" is a bad movie before it even starts filming?" Dilraba raised her head slightly and glared at Chen Yu.

Although the script was indeed quite messy, Dilraba believed that she and her crew members could interpret the film brilliantly!

After all, teachers Qin Hao and Hao Lei, as well as Golden Horse Award Best Newcomer and Taipei Film Festival Best Actor Li Hongqi will all help.

Dong Zijian, who graduated from Chinese opera, is the only capable actor in the trio of protagonists in "Jieyou Grocery Store".

"Can you please stop looking down on me so much? Your wife and I are the winner of the Best Newcomer at the 2016 Chinese-British Film Festival and the Most Popular New Actress of the Year at the 2015 Chinese Drama Festival. Do you know that?" Dilraba was a bit weak when she said this.

Since Chen Yu didn't understand these two awards, he couldn't accept them.

In order not to embarrass herself further, Dilraba immediately changed the topic to "Knives Out" and asked Chen Yu who should be the heroine of this movie.

"The final decision was made on Jodie Comer. Although the salary is a little higher, her business ability is much stronger than Anna and Adelaide, and she is willing to sign three films."

Chen Yu took out his cell phone and handed it to Reba to let her read the email sent to her by Emmanuel.

In addition, Chen Yu reminded Reba not to forget to transfer her studio's share of investment in "Knives Out" to the crew according to the exchange rate stipulated in the contract.

"Five million US dollars, more than 36 million yuan! How can I have so much now!" Dilraba said through gritted teeth.
