Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 659 - Some work still needs to be done

Regarding the film and television adaptation of "Erasure", Chen Yu first asked Emanuelle to spread some news, so as to facilitate the preliminary screening of the male lead.

David Leitch often uses this tactic. He and the casting studio always use tricks to observe the backup actors from multiple angles.

Directors Nolan and Villeneuve also have their own casting tricks to mess with big stars; director Michael Bay is even better at this.

Chen Yu once swore that he would never have any business or any form of cooperation with Michael Bay! Michael Bay has a certain contempt for life.

Every time filming on a Transformers movie begins, Shia LaBeouf feels like a soldier about to set foot on Guadalcanal.

Shia LaBeouf has joked in interviews many times that as soon as he joins Michael Bay's crew, he will make a will for his family in advance.

He then called each of his good friends one by one, telling them what his last wishes were and that he needed his friends to bring his photos with them to help fulfill them.

Chen Yu had the honor of watching the filming footage and work logs of the "Transformers" series before. Director Michael Bay deserves the nickname "Explosive Bay".

The director, who was baptized in the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony, always insisted on using the real things instead of substitutes for props such as gunpowder and firearms.

His approach to shooting conflict sequences and battle scenes is very similar to that of his Russian counterparts. If the visual effect is not good enough, just add a little more gunpowder!
After Megan Fox finished filming the second "Transformers" movie, she was abandoned by Paramount Pictures because of an extremely intense and irreconcilable conflict with Michael Bay.

Megan Fox didn't want to frequently shuttle between dangers like the US troops stationed in Afghanistan, and Michael Bay always saw her as a spoiled, arrogant and slutty girl.

It is said that this ruthless director spoke with Emanuel on the phone last night. Paramount Pictures is preparing to launch a sequel to "13 Hours", and he really hopes that Chen Yu will join.

In fact, the sequel may also be extended into a TV series. Amazon Studios, Netflix and Sony have all expressed interest in the project at this stage, and several companies are discussing it internally.

If "13 Hours" is eventually turned into a TV series and released to the market, Michael Bay will serve as the producer and director of the crew.

The specific directing work is planned to be undertaken by Taylor Sheridan or Giuseppe Capotonti, the latter of which will collaborate with Chen Yu on the Netflix series.

If "13 Hours" is still released in theaters, Michael Bay will take on the four positions of producer, director, screenwriter and director.

Chen Yu and Emanuel have the same attitude, that is, they will not take on the project of "13 Hours". Michael Bay and Chen Yu are not on the same page, and their ideas are very different.

In addition, the "John Wick" series is enough for pure action movies. Chen Yu does not need to explore this genre or look for new resources in this field, as action movies have already declined.

Moreover, "13 Hours" lacks detailed portrayal. Michael Bay is a top European and American director only when bullets are flying, explosions are ringing, and blood is splattering.

Chen Yu and Emmanuel are even more looking forward to working with director Villeneuve, because this kind of director can also give Chen Yu some pointers on her professional abilities.

Explosive Bay only asks the crew members to muster up the courage to pass through the explosion zone. As a world-class boxing champion, Chen Yu has no lack of determination and ruthlessness.

Also, the first part of "13 Hours" contains words that allude to the geopolitical and security situation in Asia. Chen Yu is worried about getting into trouble, after all, he is a Chinese actor.

If "13 Hours" follows the previous setting, it will definitely criticize China again, unless some of the main themes of the original work are disrupted and re-adapted and added to the sequel's script.

To be honest, there is not much hope for this, because according to internal information from Paramount Pictures, the sequel will be adapted with Syria and Iraq as the geographical and temporal background.

In recent years, the Mesopotamian Basin has been a sensitive area secretly contested by the White House, Moscow, the East and the European Union. Chen Yu absolutely does not believe that Michael Bay will let these four groups go. Even if Explosion Bay did not directly describe the Eastern forces in the film for various reasons, it would be quite embarrassing for him to make a bunch of DJI, 08 Fire, and 95 Reform.

Chen Yu slaughtered the bearded men on the opposite side who were holding all kinds of auxiliary weapons and ammunition. Who do you think represents justice and who represents the evil force?

Even European and American actors will be very cautious in accepting film and television works like this, which have clear color tendencies in the original works.

It is understandable that some European and American film and television works are not accepted by the Chinese market due to issues such as bloodiness, violence, and eroticism, but there are very few works that actively criticize and cut themselves off from the Chinese market.

If Explosive Bei goes crazy, he might run and step on the infantry mines crazily. Chen Yu is not worried that he will be disabled or die, but he is afraid of being splashed with blood.

Here we have to say that Paramount Pictures really dared to use and trust such a ruthless person as Explosive Bay. If it were Chen Yu, he would definitely insert a rational producer to report the director's emotions at any time.

Currently, "The Purge Part 4" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III" are also in preliminary contact with Emanuel, hoping that Chen Yu will take the time to audition.

The day before yesterday, Kick-Ass star Chloë Grace Moretz has confirmed that she will star in the fourth installment of "The Purge", and Universal Pictures is looking forward to her forming a new partner with Chen Yu in the film.

Moreover, the fourth part of "The Purge" is directed by Rian Johnson, the director of "Knives Out". This sequel will delve deeper into human nature, politics, and good and evil.

Universal Pictures hopes to transform the series from a horror thriller into a more memorable and meaningful work, thereby extending the screen life of "The Purge" series.

It is expected to officially start filming in Miami next Christmas, 2019. Chen Yu has a long time to make a decision.

As for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III", Chen Yu was invited to play the villain, whose power and strength surpass that of Gran.

Similar to the routine of "Godzilla II: King of the Monsters", Chen Yu competes with the anime characters in the film. Dilraba Dilmurat is quite interested in it, but her purpose is definitely not pure.

Dilraba Dilmurat is thinking about implanting a wasp doll into the mixed-in character of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III". If a sewer turtle can become a spirit, why can't the wasp!
In addition, Universal Pictures is also planning to invite Dilraba Dilmurat to voice the female lead, trying to get her to persuade Chen Yu to join the crew to help make a cameo appearance.

The wasp doll can be discussed, just think of it as Chen Yu taking the opportunity to get the role and then ask for a favor from him.

If the Wasp doll becomes unexpectedly popular, they can launch joint projects, etc. In any case, Universal Pictures will not suffer any loss.

Universal Pictures has scheduled the filming of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III to start in April 2019, during which time Megan Fox needs to lose weight and reshape her body.

In fact, the management of Universal Pictures had considered replacing the female lead, and former English Rose Keira Knightley was the first candidate for the role.

Unfortunately, Keira Knightley had just announced that she would take a break from the film industry to prepare for pregnancy, so Universal Pictures had to restart negotiations and emphasize work discipline with Fox.

Chen Yu was not very willing to be in the same crew with Fox because her sister's private life was a mess.

European and American media always want to dig up scandals between Fox and her male actor partner.

This sister also likes to use her colleagues as a shield.
