Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 388 - Cardinal
"So my character is a British intelligence agent?" Chen Yu turned over the script and asked Mr. Francis Lawrence, the director of "Red Sparrow".

Francis Lawrence had been active in the advertising and music video industries in Europe and America until 2004, and he lived a very comfortable life.

At that time, he was unanimously hailed by the media as the Spielberg of the advertising and music video industries, and he never even thought about directing TV series or movies.

It was not until 2004 that he was assigned to take over "Constantine", a classic comic book movie starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz.

Not only did the film easily earn back its total cost of $100 million and make a considerable profit, but he and Keanu didn't get along a bit on the set.

The conflict between the two centered on how to interpret Constantine, who liked to smoke, drink and suffer from advanced lung cancer.

Keanu hopes to portray the hell detective in a way that is decadent, boring and has no faith but a sense of responsibility.

Francis wanted Keanu to show the American spirit in the midst of illness and idleness to reinvent Hellraiser.

The two almost broke up due to their conflicting understanding and cognition of the characters, but in the end it was the investor Warner Bros. who forced them together.

This is one of the reasons why Keanu refused to guest star in "Red Sparrow". The annoying investors and the director all came together.

The Hollywood entertainment and film and television industries, like those in China, cannot hide secrets. Francis knew that Chen Yu came to Budapest with Keanu.

But the uncle didn't mention anything related to Keanu, and he didn't even talk about "Rapid Prepare" with Chen Yu.

When we met and exchanged pleasantries, he mainly talked about "Knives Out" and on the way to the set, he talked about "The Tide".

Currently, Francis is discussing with Chen Yu the latter's character identity and position, as well as the character's growth story and living environment that he made up temporarily last night.

Chen Yu rubbed the tip of his nose. If the character was just a British intelligence officer, it would be too general, and the audience would not be able to figure out the specific scope of this guy's responsibilities.

"Usually there are five types of intelligence agencies or departments, agencies, etc. within the national system." Chen Yu leaned forward to catch the soda thrown by Jennifer.

To foreign intelligence organizations, such as the CIA in the United States as well as the British Secret Intelligence Service and the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

Internal counterintelligence agencies, such as Germany's Constitutional Protection Service and the British Security Service, as well as Russia's Federal Security Service.

Military intelligence systems, such as Russia's General Staff Intelligence Service or Israel's Military Intelligence Service.

Military counterintelligence departments, such as the 902nd Military Intelligence Brigade and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in the United States.

Signals and communications intelligence courses, such as the National Security Agency of the United States and the Government Communications Headquarters (Office) of the United Kingdom.

"If Mr. Francis wants to shoot "Red Sparrow" more rigorously, he needs to consider the above content." Chen Yu pointed at the script and reminded.

The charm and difficulty of spy films lies in making simple things artificially complicated and complicated.

The audience clearly knows what the characters in the film are going to do, but they cannot predict the character's action process, path and means.

To be obscene, the audience thought that the girl walked to the window and took off her clothes to spice up the subsequent activities, but in fact this behavior was a code for the plan.

Jennifer cooperated very well with Chen Yu. She stood up and threw off her baseball shirt to reveal her underwear. Because she would need to change costumes later, Jennifer wore very simple clothes.

Francis has already co-starred in three films with Jennifer Lawrence, who can be said to be his go-to heroine.

Chen Yu threw his flight jacket to Jennifer and asked the young lady to be quiet and stop jumping around. Her bear was not too spectacular.

"Tell me what you think. Although your character's appearance time is a bit short, he is a link between the past and the following." Francis took out a pen.

Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said that he would portray the lieutenant of the British Secret Intelligence Service as a cold-blooded scum who would do anything to complete the mission.

Francis quickly recorded the characteristics of the characters and noted the two words "key" and "core" at the back.

Budapest in Hungary is very similar to Prague in the Czech Republic and Vienna in Austria. They were the most famous spy capitals during the Cold War.

Chen Yu believes that the British intelligence officer he plays must be decisive enough to survive in Budapest and will never show mercy when it comes to taking action. "For example, kill everyone." The moment Chen Yu finished speaking, Francis gave him a high-five. This is what Francis wanted.

A more agile, cheerful, direct and ruthless agent than James Bond. There are no unnecessary characters in this film who all serve the main branch plot.

Francis and Chen Yu chatted from 7:10 to 9:10 in the morning, and Francis didn't let Chen Yu go until today's filming officially started.

"What posture should I use to seduce and tease you later, sir?" Jennifer, wearing a Chanel long down jacket, jumped over again.

Chen Yu and the makeup artist quickly reached out to help Jennifer, who was currently wearing a pair of bow-tie shallow stilettos that were at least eight centimeters tall.

The makeup artist put the cashmere square cushion she was sitting on on the ground, and Jennifer immediately took off her shoes and rubbed her ankles.

"What do you think about me using my stockings to rub your waist and chest? Or should I just sit on your lap from the front?"

Jennifer picked up the script and read the only four sentences on it again. Using movements to express temptation and provocation seemed too common and lacked freshness.

Director Francis came over and suggested that Jennifer try using her eyes and expressions. He believed that the latter had this ability.

At 9:40 a.m., all units on site were ready, and Chen Yu and Jennifer also adjusted their status.

The simple and thick blood-red door resembled the brutal rule of the Soviet Union. Chen Yu knocked the door gently and unhurriedly according to the rhythm agreed in advance.

The weather outside is sunny, but the room is extremely dark and depressing. The simple curtains are like an iron curtain, blocking out sunlight, breeze, and freedom.

Jennifer's top-to-bottom body search was very professional, but the young lady seemed to be taking advantage of the opportunity, and Williams, who was in charge of photography, laughed out loud.

Director Francis behind the monitor was so happy that his cheeks trembled. Chen Yu curled his thin lips and shook his middle finger twice at Jennifer who was lying on the ground laughing.

"Miss Egorova, it is impossible to hide a blade in my underwear, so please have some professional ethics."

Chen Yu's words turned the set into a sea of ​​joy. Jennifer was laughing so hard that tears flowed out. She motioned for Chen Yu to hug her.

In Hollywood, Jennifer's appearance is very average. Many actresses are more stunning than her in appearance, but this sister's character is definitely not picky.

Jennifer is 176 tall and weighs about 45 kilograms. In order to get closer to her role, she practiced Sanyue Ballet and also exercised to lose weight.

"I'm at my lightest weight in my adult life right now. Your fiancée has a really nice figure, but she." Jennifer pointed at herself.

Chen Yu said that Dilraba can be very impressive as long as she squeezes and cushions her. Jennifer feels that her boyfriend should really learn from Chen Yu's way of speaking.

The two calmed down their emotions through small talk, and Jennifer adjusted her dress and turned around to give Frances a thumbs up.

Chen Yu sat in the bright red sofa chair and asked Jennifer to turn on the lights or roll up the iron curtain-like curtains. He didn't want to sit in the darkness for too long.

Jennifer carefully put the microfilm into the insulated box, and then pulled out a check from the stockings.

"General Cocchino knows your identity and the dirty thoughts of the British Secret Intelligence Service, comrade." Jennifer walked to the switch.

She didn't turn on the lights or roll up the curtains, but slowly took off her stockings while staring closely into Chen Yu's eyes, cooperating with the devil to get as many chips as possible.

The only sounds in the dark and oppressive room were the girl's light and heavy breathing, and the slight friction of green fingers and stockings, making the atmosphere suddenly ambiguous.

Because Jennifer hadn't worn ten-centimeter stilettos for a long time, when she was taking off her stockings independently, her center of gravity shifted and she fell directly onto the carpet.

Chen Yu hurriedly got up from the sofa chair by the window to check Jennifer's condition. The posture just now could easily sprain the ankle or even cause fracture.

"It's a small thing, a small thing." Jennifer didn't feel anything strange in her ankles and toes except for the pain in her knees.

"It's a bit unlucky." Chen Yu and Director Francis, who ran over, looked at each other and muttered in a low voice.
