Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 766 - Return
It took Chen Yu three days to finish the Armani advertisement. He took an overnight flight to Austin via Vienna.

Even if he went home, he would only stay for a week or so before rushing to Australia.

The crew of "The Mystery of Storm Riders" resumed normal operations and called all members together, as for some reasons, the actors of a small number of roles might have to be replaced.

The Hollywood shutdown has forced many third- and fourth-tier actors in Europe and the United States to go to the Asian market to make a living, making it impossible for them to return to work.

At least four minor supporting actors in the crew of "The Mystery of Storm Riders" gave up on returning.

Don't ever say anything like taking out the contract and forcing them to report immediately, because most of the minor supporting actors have very loose and free contracts with the crew.

There are basically no contractual contents such as breach of contract clauses or professional details.

To be honest, this is done purely to make it easier for the crew to lay off minor supporting roles at any time. After the Second Industrial Revolution, European and American laws tend to protect the privileged class.

The crew of "The Invisible Guest" is currently worried about finding replacements. The Hollywood shutdown has caused low-level actors from Europe and the United States to flow back to the Asian market.

The Korean and Japanese film and television circles took the opportunity to launch a number of large-scale international productions.

Several third- and fourth-tier actors that the crew of "The Mystery of the Storm" currently prefers said that they are unable to do so and do not want to delay their efforts to make money in Korea, Wo, and Thailand.

China has always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the influx of low-level European and American actors into the Asian market.

Even the fantasy romance film that combines Chinese and Western elements, put together by director Zheng Xiaolong, did not include many European and American supporting actors.

Because the Chinese film and television circles generally believe that these low-level European and American actors are purely gold diggers and mercenaries, and have absolutely no professionalism at all.

Furthermore, the Chinese film and television industry has been defrauded and cheated many times by its European and American counterparts in recent years, and 80 percent of production companies have lost trust in European and American actors.

Therefore, after the Hollywood shutdown, only a handful of low-level European and American actors entered China through personal connections.

For example, Chen Yu’s stunt and car stunt double successfully joined the domestic crew and also served as the action director.

But when they both learned that the crew of "The Mystery of Storm Riders" had resumed work, they immediately began to go through various handover procedures and then flew to Australia to wait for Chen Yu.

The crew that allows them to take up positions and receive pay as they please and come and go freely is "Dear, Beloved", and Dilraba Dilmurat is the chief producer of the work.

Chen Yu never concealed the fact that he used a body double to assist in filming.

After all, for some movements he can only take into account the two aspects of strength and speed, and cannot show beauty at the same time, so he needs a professional stand-in to help him do it.

Furthermore, as for stunt driving such as racing and drifting, even if Chen Yu took the initiative to propose to do it himself, the insurance company would never allow him to do it!
How much compensation can be paid if the stand-in dies on the spot in an accident? If Chen Yu bumps into something, the insurance company will have to pay for his broken bones.

The crew of "The Mystery of Storm Riders" once thought of promoting Chen Yu's two stand-ins to play supporting roles due to a shortage of cast members, but their limited acting skills made it difficult for them to take on such a heavy responsibility.

The female lead Emma Roberts also plans to help out and transfer people from her side, but the series she is producing is also involved in the issue of rushing the shooting progress.

Therefore, Emma Roberts said she could not help.

To be honest, she had to squeeze in time to fly from Norway to Australia to join the crew.

According to the schedule, she could only shoot in Australia for two weeks before returning to Norway, and then rejoin the crew at the end of October.

The Hollywood shutdown that just ended has caused most European and American crews to fall into chaos in their shooting plans and rhythms, and have problems such as actor schedule conflicts and collisions.

Many European and American crews found that even if the strike ended, they would not be able to catch up with the delayed filming progress because everyone needed time to readapt.

Gyllenhaal complained to Chen Yu yesterday that he and Emily Blunt were going to play a couple in the new film but the two of them had no chemistry at all.

Just when she felt she had found a little bit of feeling, Emily Blunt returned to the crew of "Mary Poppins Returns".

Gyllenhaal believes that 2018 may be one of the years when the quality of European and American film and television dramas is at its lowest.

Of course, this refers to the overall quality of European and American film and television dramas in 2018.

Chen Yu closed the new version of the script and looked out the window at the blue sky, quickly calculating the work content of the remaining schedule. After the filming of "The Mystery of the Storm" was completed, the new film "Red Notice" would be released next.

Chen Yu will officially join forces with Xiao Jian Jian as brothers.

As for the choice of the leading female role, there were disagreements. Lionsgate and Universal Pictures, which won the copyright through fierce bidding, had different opinions from the producers.

The producers Flynn Films, Seven Bucks Pictures and Bad Version Pictures strongly recommended Amber Heard to play the leading female role in the film.

Amber Hurd was born in April 1986. This young lady and Chen Yu are both from Texans.

Moreover, her family lives in the capital of the Lone Star Republic, and the two have met each other in recent years when the Texas government and legislature held Christmas parties.

Her father is a businessman who attaches great importance to credibility and has long-term cooperation with Chen Yu's family in agriculture and animal husbandry.

In addition, she has another identity, that is, the lying ex-wife of the captain of the Black Pearl.

Depp has repeatedly accused Amber Heard of defaming him following their divorce.

The copyright holders, Lionsgate and Universal Pictures, thought that this woman was a psychopath and therefore firmly disagreed to let her appear in this film.

Don’t even mention the female lead, even if she plays as a guest star, it’s not okay!

Lionsgate Films strongly advocated Gal Gadot to play the leading female role in this film.

Universal Pictures suggested Nina Dobrev or Natalie Dormer.

All four candidates have now received scripts.

Gal Gadot is not very interested in this. She now puts her family first and has spent no more than six months on work in the past two years.

Nina Dobrev is busy showing her love with her boyfriend and her mind is not on her career.

The producers consulted Chen Yu and Xiao Jian Jian for their opinions. This pair of bastards had a very good understanding and voted Amber Hurd out directly.

I wonder what the ex-wife of the captain of the Black Pearl would think when she learned about this.

Depp reminded his two buddies that the stupid woman would definitely take revenge, probably by asking unscrupulous media to write some smear reports to stir up public opinion.

Chen Yu immediately said that this trick was ineffective for him.

Chen Yu has become immune to the fact that Chinese netizens always bring him up and criticize him for no reason.

Xiao Jianjian said it doesn't matter.

Chen Yu arrived in Austin safely at 9:10 a.m. Central Time.

Emanuel was going to drive to Houston to handle some backlogged business, and then fly to Manaus, Brazil, while Chen Yu would drive the pickup truck directly back to the manor.

This time, Di Lieba will not travel to Australia with Chen Yu, after all, she is nearly eighteen weeks pregnant.

No matter how brave Dilraba is, she doesn't dare to run around. After Chen Yu joined the crew, she flew back to the United States every Thursday afternoon.

Wait until Sunday night before flying to Australia.

Chen Yu only has about 60% of his scenes in "The Mystery of Storm Riders", so he can do this.

Di Lieba did not object, as she would never do anything that would spoil the fun.

To be honest, Dilraba Dilmurat doesn't really want her husband to go to the southern hemisphere to work.

There are even fewer damn places in Australia than in America.
