Lin Xiaoling stood in front of the mirror and helped Xu Jinglei zip the back of her dress. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is Xu Jinglei's newly bought house, duplex structure, two floors, the upper floor is the bedroom, the lower floor is the study and kitchen, and there is a small studio.

The decoration style is simple, and the paintings on the walls are her own random graffiti work.

The overall feeling is more casual, with a literary atmosphere.

The house cost her nearly 800,000 yuan, plus the renovation and furniture, about 1 million.

In recent years, housing prices in Beijing have remained stable, and housing prices in the main urban area are in the range of 4,000 to 5,000 per square meter.

At this time, everyone bought houses for self-occupation, and there were not many investments, housing prices were not speculated, and the state had strict control over the use of land.

Xu Jinglei is trying on a new dress in preparation for the Cannes Film Festival in France.

Female stars attending film festivals need to prepare a gorgeous gown, which can stand out on the red carpet, attract the attention of photojournalists, and make headlines on the entertainment page.

In the past, Xu Jinglei's dresses were purchased by herself, but now there are special clothing brands tailored for her.

When the actor's fame grows, clothing brands will come to him to seek cooperation, and if Xu Jinglei receives attention in Cannes, this brand will also become the focus of the clothing industry.

The world of clothing, fashion and film and television are quite closely linked.

However, clothing brands are also divided into grades, Xu Jinglei has not yet attracted the attention of big international brands, and she is cooperating with a famous domestic brand.

The design has oriental elements, which looks elegant and natural.

Fashion designer is a profession that requires imagination, so many actresses in the world, so many red carpets every year, they have to design different styles of dresses.

The most depressing thing about an actress walking the red carpet is a clash of shirts, and two dresses with similar styles will become a joke in the fashion industry.

Chinese actresses wear more cheongsams on the red carpet, but if you want to attract public attention, you can try fancy dresses, or take the sexy and revealing route.

Xu Jinglei chose a traditional style, and she couldn't take the exposed route.

Looking at the flat in front of herself in the mirror, she inevitably has some regrets, of course, it is not impossible to make up for it, and some actresses can also create the same effect by adding gaskets to their clothes.

But Xu Jinglei didn't do this, she was still young and confident in herself.

I believe that you can conquer the audience without being in shape.

"It looks like an international star, this is your first step to the international film industry, to amaze those foreigners. Lin Xiaoling teased.

Domestic media are accustomed to using the word "amazing" for the reporting of Chinese female stars abroad.

What Gong Li made a stunning appearance at the Berlin Film Festival, as if foreigners were easily amazed.

It's actually just a grooming.

This is not the first time Xu Jinglei has participated in an international film festival, she was a supporting actor in Tokyo, which did not attract attention, and when she was in Venice, she only made some impressions on Western journalists.

Her previous films belong to niche literary films, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the audience except for film critics.

This trip to Cannes is different, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a large investment scale, Hollywood director Li Yu directs, and Hollywood Film Company is responsible for promotion.

The specifications have been upgraded by more than one notch, and will become the focus of media chasing.

Domestic actors will leave for France on May 15, and Li Huan, who is in New York, will arrive in Cannes on May 18.

"How can it be so exaggerated as you say, just participating in the film festival and coming back in two days, and it is not a competition unit, and it needs to be promoted in China. Xu Jinglei responded.

"That's because we can't look down on Cannes, and when we wait for the Oscars, it's beautiful. Lin Xiaoling quipped.

Chinese filmmakers have an Oscar complex.

After all, the awards of the three major European film festivals have been won, only the Oscars have not been broken, and Hollywood is the center of world cinema, and the weight of the Oscars can be imagined.

Every year, the domestic media will cover the Oscars at great length.

As one of the leading actors of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xu Jinglei saw the publicity plan formulated by Sony Classic in the United States, aiming at the Oscars.

For female stars, the Oscars are definitely a good place to brush up on their presence.

Thinking about what Lin Zixuan said to her before, he first set a small goal, from home to abroad, and now he has achieved them one by one, and even exceeded expectations.

"I heard from the people in the company that Brother Lin went to the south, why did he go?" Xu Jinglei inquired.

"It's that penguin company, my brother went to talk about investment, and now the Internet industry is in a recession, and many companies in the United States have collapsed, and it is not good to estimate it in China. Lin Xiaoling said casually.

Domestic Internet companies have not yet reached the most difficult period, but due to the influence of the United States, people are panicking.

Everyone feels that the future is bleak and there is no hope, is it meaningful to burn money like this?

Or is it to cut through the mess quickly and make up your mind to leave this industry, every company is faced with a choice, some choose to persevere, some choose to quit, and some are still waiting.

Pessimism is spreading across the industry.

Mr. Ma convened a shareholders' meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation, if you insist, you need to continue financing, and if you exit, you need to find a buyer to take over.

At the beginning of May, Lin Zixuan came to the Penguin Company in Pengcheng.

The company currently has more than thirty employees, mostly technicians, who are responsible for the maintenance of the software.

In the conference room, six shareholders of Penguin are seated.

Lin Zixuan has been listening and did not speak, the reason why he came here is to ensure that his investment income does not have major changes.

Mr. Ma and the shareholders talked about two main aspects, one is financing, and the other is to create a new profit model.

Insufficient profitability has always been the shortcoming of a company, and it is also the limitation of many Internet companies.

"What good advice does Mr. Lin have?" Mr. Ma asked.

They have talked about these topics many times, and they just said it to Lin Zixuan, so that Lin Zixuan has a general understanding of the current situation of Penguin Company.

"I have an idea for the profit model, have you ever thought that virtual currency, such as Penguin Coins, can be exchanged for real money. Lin Zixuan proposed, "From the user's point of view, it is too boring to just use the Penguin as a chat tool, can you add entertainment elements, such as mini-games." ”

"What kind of mini-game?" intrigued one of the shareholders in charge of software development.

"Build a free networked game platform, you can play cards, mahjong and chess after logging in with the penguin. Lin Zixuan explained, "Then design all kinds of game props, which need to be purchased with Penguin Coins, so as to increase the fun of the game." ”

"Props, for example, ......," a shareholder asked.

"That's where you need to design, I'm in the entertainment industry, and I think it should be fun for people to play games while surfing the Internet. Lin Zixuan said.
