Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 726 - A Sensible Guy

"I apologize for my intrusive visit."

Mr. Viminde Shiprinshen, chief legal counsel of the Screen Actors Guild, handed a bouquet of flowers to Dilraba Dilmurat with both hands, and then handed an exquisite and thick picture album to Emanuel from his secretary.

Chen Yu, with a standard gentleman's social smile on his thin lips, stepped forward and gently hugged Mr. Princen, then tilted his head to face his respectful assistant and capable secretary beside him and nodded respectively.

The six guests exchanged a few pleasantries and then sat down in the cozy little courtyard shrouded in the warm morning light to enjoy morning tea.

Chen Yu had no interest in tea tasting, so there was boiled water in his cup.

Because Di Lieba was pregnant, she sipped honey water.

Only Emmanuel was leisurely enjoying English breakfast tea with the three guests.

Authentic Sri Lankan black tea bags with fresh milk and handmade sugar cubes!
Chen Yu thought the smell was very strange, and he was determined not to touch it anyway. However, Dilraba's stomach churned when she smelled it, so Chen Yu considerately asked her to sit in the northeast, as Dilraba particularly liked the soft, dry morning breeze.

The sudden chirping of insects and birds adds to the quietness and tranquility of the small courtyard.

As the hostess, Dilireba stroked the cup, ready to break the seemingly relaxed but actually dull and stagnant situation in front of her.

Chen Yu quietly reached out and gently touched Di Lieba's legs with his fingertips.

The latter immediately understood and adjusted his sitting position to continue enjoying the morning breeze on his face.

At this moment, it's a competition of who can keep calm. As the saying goes, no one comes to the temple for no reason. Chen Yu felt that Princen had other intentions and he might have come for a general strike.

This guy used to work for Disney and was a key member of the latter's legal department. He worked there for nine years and made many contributions, but he resigned in 2016.

Rumor has it that he had a change of heart, repented, and had made enough money, so he turned to the Screen Actors Guild of America to help the disadvantaged get justice.

Since the day he left his old club, he has indeed created a lot of trouble and difficulties for the American Alliance of Television and Television Producers, which has greatly benefited the grassroots actors in North America and quickly won him a lot of support.

Princen stunned everyone in 2016 and consolidated his success in 2017.

It seems that he wants to move up again this year and compete for the powerful position of director or even leader of the Screen Actors Guild of America.

Maybe he was behind this strike and instigated it.

Chen Yu previously expressed his attitude to the Screen Actors Guild through Emanuel. In principle, he supports everyone in taking practical actions to obtain dignity and deserved benefits.

But Di Lieba was pregnant, so she was unable to join in the event.

His most important task now is to accompany his wife through the early stages of pregnancy, and wait until Di Lieba adapts to the pregnancy reactions before considering issues such as going out to work.

At first, Princen didn't quite believe what Chen Yu said.

He is well aware that superstars and first-tier stars in the European and American film and television circles prefer big production studios such as Disney because the latter are willing to share the cake with them, no matter how much or how little, the real money is within their reach.

To be honest, in the eyes of Dicaprio, Chen Yu and others, the Screen Actors Guild is no different from a chamber pot and spittoon. They are turned out when needed to dump out the filth, and are usually thrown away or hidden in a corner.

If Princen can get Chen Yu, Matt Damon and others to come out of retirement, then he will definitely be able to make a bid for the position of executive committee member during the union election at the end of the year.

Perhaps he can climb even higher and replace Fran Descher as the new president of the Screen Actors Guild.

In fact, Princen and his team were very hesitant when choosing lobbying targets.

Opinions vary as to whether the first visit was to Chen Yu or the first meeting was to DiCaprio.

The secretary and assistant suggested that he fly to South Beach, Miami. Although Dicaprio was distracted, he was keen on union activities. Chen Yu basically contributed money but not effort, so the former was relatively easy to handle.

Princen tends to do the difficult things first and then the easy ones. Now that "Knives Out" has been a success with both word of mouth and box office soaring across the board, Chen Yu should be more careful about his reputation.

So Princen insisted on coming to Anderson County, Texas, and he only informed Chen Yu one day in advance, so as not to leave Chen Yu time to react. Of course, Princen was also gambling. If Chen Yu chose to refuse visitors behind closed doors, then his trip would be in vain.

Fortunately, Chen Yu did not refuse politely.

The six people in the small courtyard have been sitting quietly facing each other for twenty minutes. Except for Dilraba Dilmurat occasionally gently stroking her abdomen, there is basically no extra movement.

Chen Yu is very focused. Di Lieba will go back to her room to exercise after sitting for a while. She must ensure a reasonable consumption every day.

When Princen saw Dilraba Dilmurat stand up from her seat, he wanted to take the opportunity to interrupt.

However, Chen Yu waved his hand and gently supported Di Lieba, not giving her the chance to open her mouth, leaving Princen standing there awkwardly.

Seeing this, the assistant signaled to the secretary to send Dilraba Dilmurat to replace Chen Yu.

Assistant Princen is indeed quite smart.

Know how to proactively create opportunities in unfavorable situations.

Unfortunately, as soon as Chen Yu turned around, his sharp eyes scared the secretary away.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Princen and his assistant looked at each other and sighed.

Since Chen Yu behaved like this, there was no need to have a deep conversation. If we talked openly, it would completely destroy the tacit understanding between us.

This resulted in the loss of a vital buffer zone between the two sides.

When Chen Yu sent Dilireba to the room and returned, Princen, who was both tactful and considerate, stood up again and shook hands with him to say goodbye.

Princen is also a shrewd old cat in the social circle. From the moment he enters the door to the moment he leaves, he always maintains a sincere look as if he is just visiting with no ulterior motives.

Of course, Chen Yu and Emmanuel performed better, but Dilraba Dilmurat was the only one who was too lazy to watch the intrigues of this group of guys because she was pregnant.

"Can Hollywood withstand the impact of the strike?"

Emmanuel pushed away the English breakfast tea with a look of extreme disgust, wiped the corner of his lips, and then made a retching expression, causing Chen Yu to quickly move away.

He didn't dislike the taste of Pureblood English Breakfast Tea, he just hated its name. How could a citizen of the United States of America like something a sissy would drink!
In Emanuel's eyes, the British Isles are full of sissies.

Also including those football stars he likes.

The British, who were both proud and arrogant, were wiped out in World War I. Now the British are like a rat with a gun in its own nest.

"Stop, the British football hooligans are not bad at fighting, they can bully the rubbish outside Wuchang."

Chen Yu spread out the newspaper and read the headlines on the sports page.

It is said that Chen Yu's family still insists on subscribing to newspapers just to show off.

Chen Qiwei and Cheng Shiru both graduated from prestigious universities, and reading newspapers was a little hobby in their lives.

Chen Yuyi is a typical high school dropout and a local hooligan. In his eyes, newspapers are only suitable for wrapping grilled Mexican vegetarian sausages or French fries and potato chips.

But there must be a learning atmosphere in the family, especially since Dilraba Dilmurat is pregnant, the old couple are thinking about cultivating the little one well!
"Well, maybe the old woman will come the day after tomorrow."

Emanuel muttered, pointing in the direction of Los Angeles.

The current president of the Screen Actors Guild is no good bird.
