Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 795 - Come to London Again

At ten o'clock in the morning, Carnaby Street in Soho, West London, was already crowded with tourists.

Chen Yu took a photo with a local girl and asked how to get to Landiqi Coffee Shop.

The girl was very enthusiastic and acted as Chen Yu's tour guide, leading him to take a shortcut to reach his destination.

This cafe looks particularly modern from the outside.

The walls, which are mainly black and white, the Victorian-style hanging lamps, and the Baroque-style eaves seem to take you back to around 1930.

But in fact Carnaby Street's most famous nickname is Swinging 1960.

Therefore, Landiqi Cafe is very conspicuous and easy to find here.

Originally, Chen Yu planned to buy the girl a cup of coffee as a thank you.

But this girl from Liverpool had a deep disdain for London cuisine.

So he asked for Chen Yu's autograph as payment.

In fact, Chen Yu feels that the coffee in London is not much different from that in Venice, Warsaw, Athens or Berlin.

Macchiato is sweet;
Cappuccino is greasy;
Italian espresso.

Of course, these are all comments made by Chen Yu, and they have absolutely no value for reference or comparison.

The interior decoration of Landiqi Cafe is more retro.

The west wall is covered with reliefs of the Plantagenet dynasty, mainly depicting scenes of Henry II's foreign wars.

The space inside the store feels a little compact, and the round tables and chairs are made of authentic mahogany.

To be honest, after sitting down, Chen Yu wanted to ask the waiter, who was wearing an English-style waist-length tuxedo and a white shirt with a shawl collar, for an extra thick cushion.

But the melodious and lively piano music prevented Chen Yu from doing anything rude.

If Chen Yu were to drink coffee and chat about current affairs in this environment, he would feel very tired. After all, being pretentious is a profound art, but unfortunately Chen Yu has not mastered it well enough.

Chen Yu randomly ordered a small combination of Brevet and toffee.

This made the waiter's gaze towards him rise from that of a respected guest to that of a discerning VIP.

This is the little trick that Dilraba Dilmurat taught Chen Yu to use to pretend to be stupid.

If Chen Yu followed his true inner thoughts, he would order a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

The reason why Ms. Gina, the casting director of "The Untold Story Season 6", asked Chen Yu to come here is puzzling.

Chen Yu felt that it was definitely not to assist her in the audition.

After all, the environment here is too messy and it is easy to leak some plots or scenes of the work.

I looked at my watch and saw that there were still six minutes to ten forty-five. The answer would be revealed once Ms. Gina arrived.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Ms. Gina, who is over 50 years old and energetic, was very polite.

When Chen Yu stood up and greeted her, the latter quickly indicated that there was no need to be so formal.

She took out an exquisite small box from her Boucheron handbag and pushed it in front of Chen Yu.

"Please accept this small gift for your wife."

Foreigners are also very skilled at this. Chen Yu unfolded the newspaper roll and a blooming cornflower appeared quietly.

The tacit understanding generated during this meeting further elevated Ms. Gina's impression and favorable impression of Chen Yu.

After ordering a cup of mocha coffee from the waiter standing beside her, Ms. Gina started talking about business with Chen Yu.

"Chen, would you please give us an evaluation of today's meeting point from an agent's perspective?"

Ms. Gina’s words startled Chen Yu.

Then he raised his eyebrows and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Ms. Gina gently and calmly made a "please speak" gesture.

After all, "The Case of the Dark Knight Season 6" is a suspenseful spy war work. So she wanted to see how good Chen Yu's skills were in this area or whether he could bring people into that professional feeling.

Chen Yu gently wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin and glanced around the seat stealthily.

“The meeting place was well chosen. The crowds coming and going on the busy pedestrian street provided excellent cover and barrier for evacuation.”

Chen Yu nodded and asked Ms. Gina to look towards the side door and the kitchen.

The former leads to Oxford Street, while the latter connects to Regent Street, providing various escape routes.

In addition, the Soho district where the Landiqi Cafe is located is a high-end prime location.

This will invisibly increase the concerns and pressure on law enforcement agencies when taking action.

"But the reserved seats seem too casual. The window seats allow people on the street and in the office building opposite to easily monitor our every move, and even read our conversations through our mouths. If it were me, it would be a good choice."

Chen Yu raised his chin towards the east side of the store.

Ms. Gina stood up with interest and walked to the dining table that Chen Yu mentioned and slowly walked around it.

"Why didn't you consider Channel 23?"

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Ms. Gina asked excitedly.

Platform No. 17 is located between the side door and the kitchen, and there is a solid granite column with a diameter of about 50 centimeters two meters to the east.

"So Channel 17 can at least provide three options: run out the side door, retreat from the kitchen, and use the stone pillars to resist. Of course, if the enemy has an automatic rifle and is determined to kill you, hiding behind a stone pillar and committing suicide in a dignified manner is also an option."

Chen Yu's words were not funny, but they made Ms. Gina very happy.

"Then Chen, can you tell me about my current shortcomings?"

Ms. Gina sat upright and looked at Chen Yu with a very serious look.

Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose and asked Ms. Gina if this was a temporary audition?

"I just want to make sure all the actors have the mindset of an agent."

The ambitions of "Criminal Investigation Season 6" are very big.

The production team and the creative team don’t just want to continue the classics!
While drinking coffee, Chen Yu took a quick look at Ms. Gina.

"Your biggest mistake was dressing so brightly. An orange Burberry trench coat, a white Armani sweater, and a pair of camel-colored Chanel trousers would be enough to get you spotted by the observation post from 700 meters away. And the pointed 5-centimeter stiletto heels are not good equipment for mobility."

It can be seen that all the inexplicable inquiries today were indeed improvised by Ms. Gina.

Chen Yu pointed at Ms. Gina's neck and right hand from a distance. Necklaces and rings were unnecessary accessories that could easily reveal one's identity.

In addition, the perfume that Ms. Gina wears is particularly strong.

Although Chen Yu doesn't know the specific brand, anyone who has come into contact with Ms. Gina, either actively or passively, can remember its unique fragrance for a short time.

Chen Yu was too lazy to list the remaining details one by one.

Ms. Gina pursed her lips and clapped softly.

She expressed great satisfaction with this spur-of-the-moment test.

Before this, Ms. Gina had also used a similar method to test Gary Oldman and Colin Firth.

But the result was disappointing. The two industry bigwigs who co-starred with Chen Yu looked very confused and at a loss.

"After all, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance awareness and technology are basically of no help to our daily lives, so it is understandable that Oldman and Firth don't know much about them."

Chen Yu did not feel complacent because he knew a lot about troubles.

And Ms. Gina is also very clear that what "Case Study Season 6" needs is actors, not cunning agents.

She chatted with Chen Yu for a while about "Berlin Intelligence Station Season 1" which Mr. Tistos was busy with.

Ms. Gina returned to business again and asked Chen Yu if he had any special requirements for the "wife" in the play?
Looking up at Chen Yu's blank eyes, Ms. Gina spread her hands and repeated what she had just said and added simply and clearly:
"Who are you going to ask to play the role of [wife]?"

Chen Yu subconsciously answered "Dilraba Dilmurat".
