Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 705 - Conjecture
In the warm morning light, by the clear swimming pool and the colorful flower garden, Chen Yu lazily lay in a sun lounger and slowly read the character overview.

This is the fourth version of the detailed outline of the character background. Director Knight and his team of screenwriters worked continuously for nearly a week to revise the final draft.

If we only talk about the scale of structural changes, the first three versions are 100% less extensive than the adjustments, corrections, additions, deletions and reworks this time, and almost 70% of the content has been overturned and reworked.

Because the background time is moved forward to January 1970.

Therefore, some exterior locations, costumes, props, etc. had to be abandoned.

Although it will not put too much pressure on the cost, it is time-consuming.

Moreover, the sense of time is very challenging for actors. After all, the character's behavior and way of speaking must fit in with the mainstream society and environment of that time.

Chen Yu had never officially starred in a similar film or television work before, which made him more or less nervous and a little irritable.

Dilraba Dilmurat has been taking on ancient costume dramas in recent years but has little experience to share. This young lady knows very well that ancient costume dramas do not represent a sense of time, and the intersection between the two is very narrow.

Moreover, when she shoots ancient costume dramas, she relies on modular performance methods, and her joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, lament and regret can basically be described as superficial.

Now, Di Lieba also privately questions herself how she learned and passed the four subjects of voice, stage, shape and performance when she was studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Dilraba Dilmurat doesn’t think her looks are enough to conquer the world.

Now married and actively preparing for pregnancy, Dilireba began to reflect on her acting career and even occasionally recorded her thoughts.

Although Di Lieba is a senior with rich professional experience and has slept in the same bed with Chen Yu, it cannot change the objective fact that she is a bad chess player, so Chen Yu simply does not ask her for advice.

Di Lieba was too lazy to talk to Chen Yu about her acting skills.

Dilireba felt that Chen Yu was a summer insect and there was no need to talk about ice with him.

Even if I explained it to him in detail from the simplest to the most complex, Chen Yu would not be able to understand the theoretical and systematic knowledge of acting.

So Di Lieba would only tell her husband proudly that actors who are not professionally trained are just small-time actors unless they are gifted by God.

Chen Yu is limited by two key issues: academic qualifications and major, which allows Dilraba Dilmurat to use this to control herself as she pleases.

This left him with no choice but to ask Zhang Songwen for remote tutoring via video.

After all, Zhang Songwen is now also Chen Yu's acting teacher.

Although Zhang Songwen has not yet left the Taiyang Chuanhe camp, all the resources in his hands come from Di Lieba's studio.

It is already tacitly accepted in the circle that Zhang Songwen is a member of Dilraba Dilmurat's studio. This guy is still staying in Taiyang Chuanhe just to repay the kindness of Angelababy and the support she gave to Dilraba Dilmurat when she recommended him to be Chen Yu's acting teacher.

It needs to be emphasized here that it is a feeling of recognition and support, not any kind of favor.

The importance of each issue must be clear.

Zhang Songwen knew that if he gave Chen Yu a direct theoretical course, the latter would definitely be confused.

So he first asked Chen Yu to read the story and character outlines carefully five times, and try to be able to remember the next sentence as soon as he saw the previous sentence.

Moreover, the script is indeed well-written. Zhang Songwen gave it thumbs up after listening to Chen Yu's translation. Although some plots go against the logical understanding of Chinese culture, overall the merits outweigh the flaws.

Even though the main theme is thriller and suspense, the story has a well-paced rhythm.

In terms of character design, both the protagonist and the supporting characters all have high IQs, and there are no inexplicable and abrupt twists. After the foreshadowing is revealed, the audience can feel that this is the case.

Chen Yu turned back to the first page of the character summary.

Let the boy try the sharpness of the bayonet;

Iron is cold and bloodthirsty.

When Chen was 19 years old, he did not cling to the world, but chose to face death with equanimity or to despise life.

From the moment he stepped out of the campus, his first official job was to join the war. Chen resolutely came to the Ranger Corps, threw away the sour Shakespeare, and picked up the "Group Tactics Manual";
Then onto the training grounds, and then into Vietnam.

Chen learned his murderous skills in Quantico, Virginia, then put them into practice in the rice fields and dense rainforests of Da Nang.

Next, he went to the Geiger Military Training Base in North Carolina, where he taught all the skills he had learned to the new recruits.

Chen struggled in the green hell for four years.

As a result, he had almost no concept or idea about living a peaceful life, falling in love, getting married, taking out a loan to buy a house, or planning a career.

If you have a diploma but no skills, you can't work in an office.

He couldn't read blueprints, weld steel, program a computer, or lay bricks to build a house.

Of course, he knew nothing about selling products or operating machine tools.

However, our protagonist is quite proficient in the art of killing, even extremely skilled. He knows how to face death or bring it to others.

From bamboo skewer knives to 3.5-inch caliber rocket launchers.

He can tinker with guys from every dynasty and make them work.

But what is extremely ridiculous is that Chen couldn't even handle such a simple and easy task as decorating the house, and could only ask outsiders for help.

However, with his eyes closed, Chen was able to dismantle and install rifles at high speed, mobilize artillery, ambushes along the way, set traps, and command night attacks, all of which he did very well and was proficient in.

By whispering a few words into his two-way radio, he can create multiple destructive air strikes like magic.

His voice was like that of a god, summoning a group of jet fighters to hover in the sky and drop deadly bombs on the village.

The shock wave tore the house to pieces, and the flames almost made the lungs stop working, turning people into fireworks alive.

When he returned to his peaceful home from the chaos of Vietnam, Chen felt that he looked more weathered than his father, who was already in his 50s.

Four years of baptism of killing seemed to have shackled Chen's entire life in it. Vietnam opened his eyes.

Let Chen see the depth of morality of primates.

There is also a distorted personality and the violence that comes with it.

The optimism and ideals that a young person should have seemed very unfamiliar to Chen. He would rather make up for the sleep he had missed in the past forty-eight months and get some extra sleep.

Like an old man about to die.

Chen believes that his future life will probably be uneventful, whether good or bad.

He managed to survive countless encirclements and ambushes.

Chen really doubted whether he had the ability to withstand more mental and physical shocks.

In the current post-war syndrome, he is lucky to have all of them:

Inability to concentrate, child-like fear of the dark, easy fatigue, long-term nightmares, difficulty in tolerating noise (especially the sound of doors closing and cars backfiring), irregular mood swings, sudden depression and unexpected excitement.

But Chen knew that he would end up back there, and possibly even die there.

Because he enjoyed the feeling of pulling the trigger, the recoil of the butt of the gun hitting his shoulder, and the blood plums blooming on the target's body.

Chen Yu slowly closed the character outline and then closed his eyes to experience the feeling.

Di Lieba came over with a red apple in her mouth, kicked off her slippers, stretched her feet and gently poked her husband's left cheek, telling Chen Yu to go back to the room to sleep.
