Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 660 - Need to say something

As the wedding ceremony approaches, many invited relatives and friends arrive one after another. They can choose to stay in Athens temporarily or go directly to Karpathos.

Ryan Reynolds and his family landed safely at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport this morning along with Conor McGregor and his family of three.

Chen Yu went to the airport in person with two bouquets of Greek roses, and deliberately gave the flowers to Little Deadly Slut and Connor the Notorious under the jealous looks of Blake and Devlin.

The two daughters of the Reynolds family and the son of the Connor family also opened their arms to ask their uncle to hug them, and kept looking into Chen Yu's pockets to see if there were any gifts hidden.

Chen Yu squatted down and let Reynolds' six-year-old eldest daughter ride on his neck, and then lifted Reynolds' two-year-old second daughter and Connor's two-year-old son with his left and right hands respectively.

Dilraba Dilmurat handed the vegetable cookies baked by her mother to the three children, and then hugged and kissed Blake and Devlin as they walked towards the parking lot, chattering with them.

Blake glanced at his eldest daughter James, who was crunching biscuits, and reminded her to set an example and not fill her uncle's head with crumbs. James then pouted.

At this moment, the reporters who were waiting around the parking lot saw Chen Yu and his group appear, and immediately surrounded them with their cameras and tried to ask about current hot topics.

The police stationed at the airport and Chen Yu's personal security immediately blocked the media, paparazzi, boxing fans, movie fans and protesters to a relatively safe distance and strictly prohibited them from crossing.

At this time, the two mothers and Di Lieba also helped the three children put on their sunglasses. Chen Yu slowly turned around and raised his eyebrows to Xiao Jianjian and Connor to ask for their opinions.

Chen Yuke was unwilling to be interviewed, and the three ladies also wanted to leave quickly and go to the hotel to rest. Xiao Jianjian planned to take this opportunity to promote his latest work.

Connor the mouthful, with an indifferent look on his face, stood beside Chen Yu and raised his hand to tease his son. The latter also cooperated very well, constantly twisting his little butt and chasing his father's fingertips with laughter.

Di Lieba stopped and whispered a few words to the other two wives, then they walked forward and took the children from Chen Yu's shoulders and arms and brought them back to themselves.

The lady and the children entered the business car under the escort of security and police. Chen Yu put his left hand behind his back and shook it three times in a very covert way. Connor nodded and let the reporters ask questions.

Most media outlets understood the situation and changed their focus to Reynolds, asking him to talk about the treasure hunting adventure project that Netflix and Lionsgate were planning.

"Red Notice" has confirmed its starring cast. Gal Gadot will partner with Reynolds and Chen Yu for the first time to form a treasure hunting adventure team that is both good-looking and funny.

"Red Notice" is the main work of Netflix and Lionsgate next summer. Hollywood new director Rawson Marshall Thurber is very confident about the film.

Originally, Netflix wanted to invite director David Leitch, but the latter was planning to take a long vacation and travel around Europe with his family, and he also had other projects.

At the beginning of the month, director Leitch had just finished editing "Deadpool 2", which received rave reviews at the internal preview. Then he had to conceive the framework of the sequel to "John Wick".

Facing the camera at this moment, when asked whether there is any information on the preparation and establishment of the fourth part of "John Wick", Chen Yu said that he did not know, with a steady tone and a calm expression.

In fact, Lionsgate assembled the original team to write the script in April, and Keanu Reeves also secretly went to the shooting range and boxing gym to start restorative training.

Barbara Palvin is adjusting her catwalk schedule and practicing Systema for three extra hours every day to improve her fighting skills so as not to lag behind in her action scenes.

The fourth part of "John Wick" will start shooting around December this year. The story's geographical background has been moved back to the Big Apple, and the main plot has not yet been finalized.

But the fourth film is likely to be Keanu's last in the series. When Chen Yu and he chatted on video, the latter said that he was no longer in a good condition to cope with high-intensity action movies. In fact, his reaction ability declined significantly during the filming of the third film, and many fighting scenes needed to be polished back and forth, which Keanu was very disappointed about.

The fifth part of "John Wick" will be built with Chen Yu as the protagonist. The female lead will still be Barbara Palvin, but it is not certain whether new characters will be created or added.

Chen Yu had to keep all of the above inside information strictly confidential in accordance with the details of the contract, so he only casually chatted with reporters about the interesting anecdotes during the filming of the third part of the series.

In addition, Chen Yu did not answer the question about his upcoming retirement; Conor also refused to talk about his farewell to the octagon early next year. This pair of good friends have a particularly tacit understanding.

But the three of them did not mind sharing the news of jointly acquiring the Welsh Wrexham Football Club to pursue their dream of joining the Premier League with the media on site, and everyone also sent their blessings.

For teams like these that have been lingering in low-level leagues for years, it is good enough to maintain a balance between income and expenditure, and they are basically unable to create any profits for their financiers and shareholders.

So the fact that these three people took the initiative to pay cash to acquire the club and unconditionally repay the club's debts shows that they really love this sport and want to realize their dreams. They deserve our respect.

As for the fact that the three of them are currently discussing investment with Red Bird Capital and the Formula One Alpi Racing team, it would be inconvenient to discuss it right now, after all, the amount involved is quite large.

Red Bird Capital is ready to put out 157 million euros, Chen Yu, Connor and Xiao Jianjian will share 103.7 million euros, and the Alpi team will be renamed.

Currently, the tripartite negotiations have successfully entered the third round. Sixty percent of the contract terms have been confirmed, and the remaining parts are mostly minor matters that can only be worked out bit by bit.

The overall atmosphere of this impromptu press conference was pretty good, but the group of protesters outside kept shouting and yelling without stopping, but the content had nothing to do with Chen Yu.

The protesters mainly accused the Greek government and officials, and loudly expressed their dissatisfaction with social welfare, medical and education systems, and the financial industry.

The police stationed at the airport apologized repeatedly to Chen Yuge and his two companions because they did not dare to use extreme means to disperse and drive away the protesters for fear of causing more bloody clashes.

Chen Yu and his friends could understand the difficulties faced by the Greek police. Connor and Xiao Jianjian also gently comforted the new recruits who looked depressed because they felt they had failed in their duties.

But the reporters, paparazzi, boxing fans and fans at the scene would not let their own police go. During the interviews, they repeatedly denounced the Greek police for incompetence and cowardice.

"These vampires only dare to appear in the sun when they are paid, issued tickets and bribed!"

A reporter from the Greek state-run broadcasting company yelled at the girl, and applause broke out all around her as soon as she finished speaking.

Chen Yu looked at Connor and then put his hands down at the same time to indicate that he had something to say. Chen Yu hoped that he would not continue to attack and insult the police, at least not let foreigners see it.

"I am personally very grateful for the service of the Greek and Athens police officers, who are by no means cowards, because they have the courage to face the malice."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he tilted his head slightly, then got into a business car with Connor and Xiao Jianjian under the escort of security and police.

Then the airport police lined up to salute and shake hands with the three people.

The bad Greek government has implicated the Greek police system.
