Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 710 - Preparing for a Business Trip
Although five days have passed since the mass conflict between Vietnamese and Thai students, the crew of "The Mystery of Waves" has not yet returned to its normal filming rhythm.

The assistant director needed to recruit volunteers again to play the roles of Vietnamese villagers and Hmong guerrillas, and this time the assistant director turned his attention to the neighboring Maori natives of New Zealand.

Some Filipinos and Singaporeans are also willing to experience what it's like to be an extra.

"When I hit you in the stomach with the butt of my gun, remember to arch your back synchronously but don't make exaggerated moans."

Chen Yu held the rifle horizontally and swung it slightly, then raised his head and raised an eyebrow at the extras in front of him. If this thing hit the diaphragm hard, it would hurt so much that he couldn't make a sound.

This is similar to an opponent of the same weight class being hit in the liver by Chen Yu's uppercut.

The pain signals instantly flood into the neurons and are then transmitted to the brain center, causing the functions of various organs in the human body to temporarily lose control and shut down due to overload.

Chen Yu and the action director demonstrated and explained to the extras.

It is obvious that this group of extras are more intelligent than the previous Vietnamese and Thai students. They were able to produce perfect reactions after only three interactions with Chen Yu.

Originally, this scene was planned to be shot for about 120 minutes.

But with everyone's joint efforts, it was completely completed in just over 80 minutes.

Director Knight is discussing with the script supervisor, set designer, and blasting team to complete the last set of war scenes so that they can focus on filming the main plot and side quests next week.

During this period, the frequency and intensity of use of Chen Yu are relatively large.

Temporarily suspending the filming of the male lead's memories will help Chen Yu recover his strength and adjust his condition, and it will also allow Yang Mi and others to move around and get some feeling.

Furthermore, Chen Yu will go to Italy on Wednesday to attend the opening ceremony of the 75th Venice International Film Festival. "Knives Out" starring Chen Yu, Captain America and Judy was selected as the opening film by the jury and the organizing committee.

Mainstream media in Europe and the United States believe that "Knives Out" is likely to make Chen Yu and Captain America jointly nominated for the Best Actor award in this year's main competition unit.

On the contrary, due to the limitation of her role, Judy may not be shortlisted for the best actress in this year's main competition unit. A series of American media have lowered Judy's chances of winning the award.

But the Italian media are very optimistic that Judy will compete with "The Favourite" actress Olivia for the title of this year's Best Actress. Although the latter formed a love-hate triangle with Stone and Vichy in the historical work "The Favourite", Olivia's performance was not eye-catching judging from the released trailers.

Because more than 90% of the works registered for this year's Venice International Film Festival and selected for the main competition unit have male protagonists, the jury had to lower the threshold when drafting the list of best actresses.

In addition, powerful actresses such as Stone and Vichy have decided not to get involved in the competition for Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival, which has forced the jury to lower its standards again.

Weiszy and her colleagues are targeting this year's American Television and Film Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars. The three major European awards are a bit boring for them.

Apparently, the American media did not expect that the status of the Venice International Film Festival would plummet in the hearts of Hollywood actresses. This is related to the Venice International Film Festival's outrageous operations and blind management in recent years.

The Venice International Film Festival has much lower credibility than the Berlin International Film Festival and the Cannes International Film Festival. The fact that it can still maintain its reputation as one of the three major European awards is purely because of the good deeds of its ancestors.

Since 2010, the endless stream of public relations events has made the Venice International Film Festival gradually become full of money.

In addition, its frequent changes have caused complaints from both China and the United States, who believe that it has too strong a political flavor!
To be honest, Chen Yu didn't want to attend the opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival. Captain America and Judy thought so too. However, director Ryan said that it would be ungentlemanly for him to go there alone.

Moreover, "Knives Out" is the opening film, which is equivalent to the premiere.

As the leading actors, Chen Yu, Captain America and Judy should set an example.

In addition, "Knives Out" is going to shoot a second part, and director Ryan is currently conceiving the main plot and the relationship grid of related characters.

So Director Ryan wanted to throw Chen Yu, Captain America and Judy to Venice.

After attending the premiere, he returned to New Jersey to continue his creative work.

It is said that Lionsgate has helped Chen Yu to win the Best Newcomer Award in the main competition unit, which made the heroine of "The Nightingale" Franciosi angrily announce that she would not participate in this Venice International Film Festival. Because Franciosi was previously a super hot favorite for this year's Best Newcomer Award!
However, the news has not been confirmed by a third party, so most media outlets are taking a rational and cautious approach to watching the matter.

"Why do I feel this is possible?"

Chen Yu stepped forward and caught the towel thrown by Dilireba in mid-air.

After finishing the last war scene, he rushed back to the villa at noon.

Di Lieba nodded her chin and asked Chen Yu to wipe her face quickly and then try on a new shirt. This was a new style that she and Yang Mi both liked very much, as it was simple and fashionable.

Unfortunately, Chen Yu always looks too fierce, sharp and cold in a white shirt.

Di Lieba took several photos from different angles and sent them to Yang Mi, who felt that Chen Yu was like a spy who had infiltrated our army. Even though he showed his signature smile, he had nothing to do with the word "good guy".

"A detective can't walk the red carpet in a T-shirt and jeans, can he?"

Dilireba folded the white shirt again and put it into a vacuum dust-free bag for storage.

I can take this dress to the crew when my husband plays a villain.

"In what era did villains still dress in suits? Now, even thugs in suits make the audience feel sick to their stomachs and unable to open their eyes."

Chen Yu yawned and glanced at the fresh rambutan in Dilraba Dilmurat's hand.

Di Lieba pursed her lips and told Chen Yu that lunch would be ready in ten minutes.

Then she asked how confident she was about winning the award.

Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose and looked out the window in a serious manner. Emanuel said it was a sure win and he guaranteed that the Best Newcomer Award would not go to someone else in vain.

After hearing this, Di Lieba didn't know whether to be happy or embarrassed.

She felt that her husband only earned 20% of the honor due to hard work, and the remaining 98% was purely due to various public relations and operations.

Dilireba suddenly remembered Teacher Xie Yuan's sentiment:
Today's film and television industry is too cold and indifferent to actors with real talent.

It even makes it difficult for them to get jobs and display their talents.

"Tsk, this is a short-term pain caused by the times and environment."

Chen Yu put his hands on Dilireba's shoulders and asked her to go and take a look at the stewed beef brisket.

Chen Yu felt that Xie Yuan's summary of so-called real ability was too narrow and superficial.

Public relations skills, social skills, etc. should be included.

Dilireba used a colander to scoop out a piece of meat and let Chen Yu taste it.

She knew her husband's vengeful nature too well.

I guess Chen Yu hasn't forgotten the conflict between him and Teacher Xie Yuan until now.

"Is it delicious?" Dilireba pinched a little salt and prepared to sprinkle it in.

Chen Yu pursed her thin lips and said nothing, but just stepped aside, indicating Di Lieba to try it herself.
