Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 741 - Starting Over Again
The shots that were added a few days ago depicting the suburban scenes of Saigon were shot in the woods in the northwest corner of Houston, which made the pictures look very awkward and unharmonious.

The original Saigon scenes were completed at the Asia Studios (Studio) in Springbrook National Park in Brisbane, Australia.

Therefore, whether it is the types of trees and flowers, or the angle of sunlight and the light and dark texture, there are relatively large differences. If the two are edited together, it is very easy to be exposed.

Director Knight didn't realize this stupid mistake until last night, but he was decisive enough to delete all related shots immediately.

Although this would mean a waste of four days, a budget, and Chen Yu's relatively outstanding performance, Knight, who strives for perfection, would never allow any compromise.

Evan, who played the beautiful young woman in that tragic plot, had to travel back to Houston from Ottawa at night again.

After a whole night of discussion, director Knight and the screenwriter team redesigned and improved three sets of shots and corresponding plots. Evan Rachel will play a military psychologist.

It was she who used a piece of evaluation and appraisal to cause Chen Yu to miss out on medals and promotions, and was forced to retire by the generals.

Director Knight and his screenwriter team have extremely cleverly incorporated real events into "The Matrix" and made appropriate adaptations. As for whether the prototype characters agree, that will be discussed later.

In fact, the two original characters have passed away. During the Vietnam War, a military psychologist refused to issue a certificate of reinstatement to a CIA agent stationed in Saigon.

Then the CIA agent went to the psychiatrist's rented apartment in Saigon that night with an automatic rifle and delivered a gift.

By the time U.S. Embassy officials, soldiers, CIA crisis management team, and South Vietnamese police rushed to the scene, the tragedy was over and only seventeen bodies were left in the building.

The psychiatrist's family of four, the landlord's family of eleven, an innocent passerby and the CIA agent who committed the crime were all killed.

This tragedy alarmed Washington, and then-President Kennedy questioned the CIA, the Pentagon and other relevant responsible units whether they could truly understand the psychological dynamics of the personnel stationed in Vietnam!
CIA chief John Alex McCone immediately ordered restrictions on the authority of psychologists in Vietnam agencies. The diagnosis certificates issued by the latter would not be used as a necessary written condition for the return of operatives to their posts for the time being. In addition, some psychologists who had been assigned to cities such as Saigon, Hue, and Da Nang were recalled or assigned to other non-conflict countries.

General Paul Harkins, head of the U.S. Military Assistance Command in Vietnam, also received a guide to caring for soldiers secretly passed to him by the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Compared with psychologists, grassroots combat soldiers need condoms, cigarettes, Coca-Cola, morphine, marijuana, and syringes more.

Since the tragedy, the number of psychologists in the US military has been reduced from two per battalion to one per regiment.

Even some regimental combat units have chaplains serving concurrently, forcing the military chaplains to become political commissars, who not only have to read the Bible but also have to read Introduction to Psychology.

The South Korean military headquarters in Vietnam, established in 1965, followed suit.

Army Lieutenant General Cai Mingxin sternly refused to allow psychologists to interfere with and restrain the hands and feet of the brave men of Korea. The commander believed that all psychologists were communists.

Therefore, the atrocities committed by the US and South Korean troops in Vietnam cannot be simply blamed on grassroots combat officers and soldiers.

The crimes they committed were the result of the tacit cooperation of many factors.

The United States and South Korea do not need moral role models to join the Vietnam War. Politicians and generals want to destroy this place, and rebuilding democratic civilization on the ruins and scorched earth is the most profitable!

To be honest, General Paul Huggins, the first head of the U.S. Military Assistance Command in Vietnam, knew that the war could not be won.

Because the North Vietnamese puppet regime was right at the foot of the mysterious ancient country, and the Soviet Union was willing to spend a lot of money to disrupt the situation.

So everyone had no choice but to become a leech and suck the blood of the country to fill their own stomachs. Why did they travel thousands of miles to be officials? Just to make money.

"You should be more hesitant when accepting the tip, after all, the amount is quite large."

Director Knight gestured to Evan to regain his feeling. This sister was born in September 1987.

She had never played a role like a mother before. Evan Rachel Wood made her debut in Hollywood at the age of 16, but was banned for breach of contract and participating in her ex-boyfriend's music album involving sex and love scenes.

This led to its decline between 2008 and 2011, before it started to make a comeback in 2012 with the TV series "The Legend of Zu".

"Westworld Season 1" made Evan once again become a top-tier star in the European and American drama circles.

This sister accepted the invitation to guest star purely to find her form and prepare to return to Hollywood after the strike is over.

She is currently working with her bestie Emma Roberts as the host of a travel program organized by the Canadian government.

Emma Roberts is the heroine of "The Detective".

She plays the role of Chen Yu's ex-wife who leaves him because she can't stand his post-war trauma.

It was Roberts who facilitated Evan Rachel Wood's joining the cast, otherwise director Knight would not have lowered the threshold so easily.

If Yang Mi were here, she would definitely have common topics with her.

After all, both of them got into the group through the back door through their friendship.

"Be more casual with your expression. Chen, smile a little more and don't be so reserved."

Director Knight pushed up his sunglasses to demonstrate to Chen Yu. Of course, considering his appearance and other factors, his smile did not attract the attention of the opposite sex.

In addition, the props team was using sports drinks to disguise whiskey. Chen Yu didn't drink alcohol so he could only mix sports drinks with fruit juice.

Dilraba Dilmurat, who was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the fun, wanted to suggest that the props team drive to Asia Supermarket to buy a box of iced black tea. That stuff, when you add some ice cubes and pour it into a cup, has a color similar to whiskey.

Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t like iced tea either, always saying it contains too much sugar.

Di Lieba raised her wrist slightly and took a look. It was already past nine in the morning. After work, she planned to go for a walk in Hua Xia City and have a meal at the dumpling restaurant opened by Yao Ming.

It just so happened that Yao Ming led the team back to Houston for inspection. I called Chen Yu last night, and the two brothers discussed bringing their families out for a small gathering.

It seems that Yao Ming wants to discuss some business with Chen Yu. Di Lieba probably wants to ask Chen Yu about his plans after retirement. The General Administration of Sports wants Chen Yu to be a consultant for the Boxing and Taekwondo Sports Management Center, and use Chen Yu's reputation to send potential talents to world-class professional competitions.

There has always been a rift and differences of opinion between Chen Yu and the General Administration of Sports.

Otherwise, Chen Yu would have been beaten up by the General Administration of Sports and worshipped as a god.

As a result, the General Administration of Sports could not stand Chen Yu's inherent pursuit of comfort, luxury and enjoyment.

On the contrary, Chen Yu also refused to join the General Administration of Sports and be bound by many rules and regulations.

As a result, every time the two sides sit down to talk, they end up parting on bad terms, and now they can only pass messages through intermediaries.

Of course, the General Administration of Sports wanted to use Chen Yu's name to organize and host competitions, and asked him to buy image rights, etc. Unfortunately, nine times out of ten, Chen Yu refused due to commercial restrictions.

In addition, everyone in the national table tennis team had strong opinions about Chen Yu, which made it impossible for the General Administration of Sports to get rid of the burden and have a good talk with Chen Yu.

Instead, it has made the relationship between the two sides more rigid, tense and deteriorating.
