119. Miscellaneous
"Every time I finish filming a drama, it's like I've fallen from heaven to hell."
Sitting in the car, Chi Chi looked sad.
Shooting advertisements in Beijing, shooting magazine covers in Shanghai, and then going to Huacheng for interviews, the spicy sun was shining outside, she ran around in one air-conditioned sphere of influence, from morning to late at night, sleeping in different hotels, surrounded by different people...... In just a few days, she felt that the meat that came out of the crew leader of "Feng Kitchen" had lost weight.
"Go back to the capital tonight, you can rest for half a day tomorrow, tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, there will be someone over there to introduce you to the new dress, you have to take a look, the Golden Phoenix Award ceremony to wear, and the Youth Film Festival, you are the guest of honor and you have to wear the dress.
The day after tomorrow at half past nine in the morning to meet with Mr. Duane, the time is reserved for you until three o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Liu Tingxin's private invitation is set for the night after tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow in the afternoon we have to fight for time to see the house, Sister Dou has already selected three houses, one of which is for you to live in, you confirm that if you are satisfied, you will start decorating...... By the way, there are also decoration designers, Sister Dou has collected their design styles.
The day after tomorrow in the movie seminar in the capital during the day, what style of clothes do you want to wear is best decided today, the private makeup artist that Sister Dou found for you is probably in place this week, but I am not sure what day of the week it is...... When will you meet the studio's new treasurer and logistics coordinator? β
Chi Chi collapsed in the back seat, not wanting to talk to Chen Fang, and made a grimace at Chen Fang through the rearview mirror.
"Be content, Sister Dou of the Tang and Song Dynasty's drinking party has already pushed it for you, and there are various symposiums, and those who can refuse you have also refused, Feng Shuo's kind of thing is twenty days a month when he is busy, and it is only you, all business matters add up to eleven days to solve ......"
"That means eight days to go! Oh my God, eight days to go! β
Counting with his fingers, Chi Chi let out a bitter wail.
Today's driver is not Chen Fang but another assistant hired by Dou Baojia for Chi Chi, twenty-four this year, surnamed Yu, called Yu Yuan, 163cm tall, slightly chubby, the most impressive thing is that there is a small acne pit on her face, showing that her puberty is not over. I don't have a high education, but I can drive, jump the national standard, know the three foreign languages, and fight...... She doesn't need to follow Chi Chi to the crew like Chen Fang, after Chi Chi joins the group, her main job is to receive and sort out the information of Chi Chi's fans, when Chi Chi did not join the group, she was Chi Chi's backup driver and personal bodyguard.
Regarding Yu Yuan's skills, Chen Fang said that he was quite satisfied.
"It's enough to be able to stop a pervert, it's not that I don't want to find a female bodyguard who is a little taller and stronger than you, but she's the best to use comprehensively."
This Yu Yuan's impression of Chi Chi before taking office was average, not because of any conflict or misunderstanding between her and Chi Chi, but because Dou Baojia deliberately screened out those guys who were "proud of working in the idol team" when looking for people, and did not let fans enter the artist work team, which is Dou Baojia's consistent principle.
Now, Yu Yuan was so amused by Chi Chi's appearance.
"The happiest thing in the entertainment industry is not to be busy, the busier you are, the richer you are, Chi Chi, you are so busy now, it means that you are popular. How many people in the entertainment industry want to be as busy as you. β
"Hmm...... That's right. The girl in the back seat touched her bald head.
"However, it's not these busyness that make me have the capital to become 'red'."
Chen Fang looked at Yu Yuan, who was obviously a little nervous because of Chi Chi's words, and looked at Chi Chi who was still lying down through the rearview mirror, this was the first time she saw Chi Chi himself personally "adjusting" and coaching his employees, and these training and management work were all done by Dou Baojia before.
"Red, it's nothing remarkable, it's an actor's job to be able to get excellent works, I first rely on acting to eat, and attention is just an accessory brought by acting...... It's the same for all jobs, the most lively part, but the least important ......"
The girl sitting in the back seat of the car tilted her head to look out the window, and through the rearview mirror, the most attractive thing was the narrow corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
If you want to be an assistant to the most popular actress, will you really not be excited at all? Even if she didn't at first, after enjoying the madness of the fans and the friendliness of the partners these days, Yu Yuan is still a little proud, and it is obvious that her change has been noticed by Chi Chi, who has been extremely busy.
Yu Yuan pursed his lips and didn't speak again, and the heart in his chest, which was about to float, slowly sank again.
As he said, Du Yin took Chi Chi to meet the heads of several top film and television performance-related schools.
At the beginning, he obviously hoped that Chi Chi could get a degree, but several universities have regulations that regular students cannot film during their studies, although they have repeatedly said that they can make an exception for Chi Chi, Chi Chi still chose to study with him.
Old Man Du thought about it, for Chi Chi, a piece of academic qualifications is not even the icing on the cake, and there is no need for her to be talked about by others about gossip such as going through the back door.
After all, if you want to enroll in school this fall, it is simply impossible to go through the normal process.
"The three universities all want you to go to them, one has been specializing in training drama actors a few years ago, and recently wants to keep up with the trend, one has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are many film and television stars, I remember that Xiao Tang took a training class at their home, and finally this one is in Shanghai, I have a very good old friend who is a professor there, otherwise the people in their school will not know the news that you are going to study in the school, and they also sent their admissions directors in the capital to ......"
The first one often comes out of the acting school, but there is obviously no limelight, and the second one has many stars, but obviously the background is not enough, the one far away in Shanghai, Chi Chi's work focus has always been in the north, so he basically won't consider going there.
After meeting the heads of all the schools, Du An led Chi Chi to walk in a small alley in the capital, chatting with Chi Chi about "gossip" as he walked, and he suddenly smiled as he spoke.
"Hehe, they weren't like this when you first won the award at SD, the highest international award that a domestic independent filmmaker has never won was won by a young girl from a non-professional background, and the director is also a newcomer...... For them...... Ha......
And the generations of students behind them...... Alas......
The most terrible thing is that you are still young, because you are young, there will be countless possibilities, they can't see your future clearly, and they are afraid that your award will make more people in China criticize the academic education...... Tsk, although some of the words that were said at the beginning were also human, but now...... You don't have to think that they are appreciating you, you have entered this circle of fame and fortune, everything has something to do with fame and fortune, you get profit, they get fame, right and wrong, no one owes anyone's ......"
Chi Chi was wearing sunglasses and holding a sun umbrella, covering Du An, and behind the two of them, Du An's bodyguards and assistants, as well as Chen Fang Yuyuan, who was brought by Chi Chi, followed slowly.
"You invited me to a bowl of pork rib soup, and today I will take you to try one of my favorite sheep scorpions......"
The girl lowered her head slightly, and saw through the upper edge of her sunglasses that the ground was a little dazzling by the sun.
"It's so hot, do you still eat mutton?"
"Why can't you eat mutton when it's hot, let me tell you, I used to go to a small town in the south to film, hey, they get up early in the morning to eat mutton, do you know? Whole sheep feast, sheep blood soup, sheep trotters, and braised mutton ......"
The old man smacked his lips, apparently having recalled the tempting taste of mutton.
"Their people, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, get up early every day to eat mutton and drink, and they don't say they can't eat it in summer, right?"
Duane's imagination was beautiful, but this idea was dissuaded by his assistant and bodyguards, and in the end, he could only take Chi Chi to eat an old brand of fried noodles, and in order to retaliate against his assistant, he ordered a bowl of bean juice for both his assistant and bodyguard.
"You're going to shoot an online drama, that's a good idea...... Emerging things may give people new insights and directions, and young people should play more new things, but you must not forget the movie...... Well, in the next two years, you have to make at least one more movie...... Movies can really make you, this is determined by this era, and it is also determined by countless filmmakers to promote the progress of films, the best shooting technology in the world, the best staffing is all in the film industry......"
"I understand." The girl nodded, and casually poured the shredded radish that Duane had deliberately pretended not to see into her noodle bowl.
In return, the old man stole half of her plate of blanched celery stalks.
Two bowls of fried noodles, a plate of mustard piles, and a plate of belly bursts, it has also become a farewell banquet, the attendance rate of "Shen Jiu" has not decreased, and the film team has extended the schedule after negotiating with the theater line, as if it has occupied ten percent of the summer schedule, Duan's trip in China has been completely over, if it weren't for the matter of waiting for Chi Chi to go to school, he would have gone to the perennially warm and humid island country on the other side of the world in early August to go on vacation, and for a whole year, he worked hard to create "Shen Jiu" and also created Chi Chi...... Seeing that this girl could still talk to him and sit together to eat noodles, the old man had a feeling of laughter.
"Remember to visit me when you have time, there are too many chores in the country, if it's okay, I really prefer to be in that kind of place, if you go, I invite you to eat the small tomatoes I grow......"
After eating, the owner of the noodle restaurant confiscated the money, and he said with a smile that a famous director and actress ate in his small restaurant, and he was too late to be happy...... After a long meal of compliments, he rubbed his hands and asked to take a picture with Duane and Chi Chi.
"Alas, if we go to eat sheep scorpions, we can also take a photo for free, how much is a meal of sheep scorpions, how much is fried noodles, it's a loss."
took pictures and signed his name, Du Yin walked out of the store ten meters away and began to mutter, he looked like an ordinary old man after leaving the movie, and even with childishness, Chi Chi listened to his complaints for a long time, and finally said:
"Don't they have a signature old soup pig's trotters? Why don't we go back and pack a few? β
"Forget it......" snorted, and Duane replied dejectedly.
Farewell to Mr. Du, Chi Chi solved the problem of her new house, a high-end community developed by a Tianchi Group, 35 floors, a house with a large balcony with a usable area of 150 square meters, the price after discount is less than 15 million, it is convenient to eat and drink around, and it is easy to drive to the airport.
"I don't need to look for a designer, I can design the house myself, and the decoration team also uses Tianchi's, they can at least understand the design drawings."
Chi Chi stood in the house and looked around, took out his mobile phone and jΓΉ wrote down a few numbers on the memo.
"I don't have time to go to the material market to see the materials, you ask the construction team to provide samples of new decoration materials from the summer before last year to the present, Tianchi has collected ......"
The girl paused, then quickly changed her mind.
"No need, just a few brands are not bad, I'll check it myself."
She stood by the window, wearing a simple white T-shirt and sports shorts, still with the afterglow of the slanting sun reflected on her head.
Yu Yuan tried to blink her eyes, but still didn't see her expression clearly.
Chi Chi put away his mobile phone and walked quickly to the door, Chen Fang saw the stitches and asked her if she wanted to do a full body maintenance tonight.
Yu Yuan followed behind the two of them, trying to keep up with their rhythm, in addition to the footsteps and the thinking.
When he got home that night, Yu Yuan posted his thoughts on the Internet.
"In just a few days, I felt like I was going to like my boss...... Boom...... If someone finds out, he'll be expelled. β
When she said like, she meant the fans' love for their idols.
Dou Baojia repeatedly ordered that as staff members, they should not have a fan mentality towards their bosses, because that would affect their attitude towards work, and once they found out that they had this tendency, they would be fired.
With a salary of seven or eight thousand a month, a generous year-end bonus, and being able to follow the boss who is a star in and out to eat and drink and get gifts...... It's a rare good job for Yu Yuan, who is only 24 years old and doesn't have a formal college diploma, and before serving Chi Chi, she also thought that she couldn't have a fan mentality towards Chi Chi, after all, she was six years older than the other party.
Six years older, what is the concept of six years old, think about you were born when you went to elementary school, she was still following the teacher's ass when you went to junior high school, she was still dancing in elementary school when you went to high school, and she waited in line to go to junior high school after you took the college entrance examination...... Does a prospective college student have any fan mentality towards a prospective junior high school student? In the same way, can a 24-year-old Yu Yuan have a fan mentality towards an 18-year-old Chi Chi?!
Before joining the company, she did this for her own psychological construction. But today, when she saw Chi Chi standing in front of the window and didn't know what she was thinking, she felt that her heart had been hit hard.
What is the age of six?
When she was seventeen years old, she made a film and became a movie, and when she was seventeen years old, she was a waste who didn't know how to wipe her mouth when she ate! There is no age difference at all, if it weren't for Chen Fang's presence, she would have taken out her mobile phone to take a picture and then begged Chi Chi to sign for her.
"You can't have both bread and true love...... Life is so desperate! β
Yu Yuan howled miserably, got up from the bed and went to wash her face, she would get up at half past six tomorrow morning to pick up Chi Chi to attend the film symposium at ten o'clock in the morning.
"I like her, it's definitely not worth the salary of 7,003 after tax, and there are five insurances and one housing fund plus food supplement!"
After washing his face, Yu Yuan said to himself in the mirror.
Bread and true love, she has to have bread, and she can only ask for bread.
β¦β¦
"Think about the last time we had dinner together in a small restaurant, and now Koikechi has become a bold person who can invite me to a big meal."
This is the depths of a prime location in the capital, where the most famous high-end Sichuan restaurant in the capital is opened, where European-style decoration and traditional Chinese furniture are combined, and the little people on the cowhide lamps wear tiger hats and play with firecrackers vividly.
Liu Tingxin raised her eyes and looked at Chi Chi, every time she met, she felt that the other party was too mature than the last time she met, but she felt that she had already matured beyond her age, no matter how mature she was, where could she be familiar?
"It's not a big meal...... Well...... A while ago, I was filming a movie, ...... "Chi Chi didn't say anything, and the three waiters had already come over with trays.
"Miss Chi, our chef said that you came to eat at half price, and this is a few cold dishes and fruit plates that he gave you."
Wearing a melon skin hat but wearing a white shirt and a black apron, the waiters at this shop are dressed in a mixed Chinese and Western style.
"Our chef also said that if you order food, hurry up, if you don't order him, you can do anything."
"Yo, this dare is still a personal love restaurant, Chi Chi, hurry up, see what abalone ginseng winged dragon liver and phoenix marrow they have in their house, they all want it together."
"You won't be able to eat much if I order. Please tell Chef Pei, my friend eats a little more refreshing green vegetables, two big dishes are enough, and we can't eat more. β
The first sentence is for Liu Tingxin, and the back is for the waiter.
Liu Daying watched Chi Chi send the waiter away, and raised her eyebrows: "What happened to you when you were filming a movie a while ago?" β
"Oh, I made a food-themed movie and met a group of very cute chef friends, the chef of this restaurant is surnamed Pei, and I promised him to come back to the capital to eat."
"Other people make movies are movies, and it's just you, making movies has become making friends, will the next time you make an aviation-themed movie, will you not have to spend money on a plane in the future?"
"That's more cost-effective to shoot a hospital theme." Chi Chi took a piece of mangosteen and put it in his mouth, "I can meet some friends in the hospital, and I can also gain some insight into physical health." β
As she spoke, she looked at Liu Tingxin, the last time they met was the premiere of "Dancing Little Elephant", in just a few months, Liu Tingxin looked more tired and haggard.
"It's done, don't come to that again, every time you meet, urge me to go to the hospital, are you bothered, you have that time to worry about me, why don't you decide about your study first, and there are idlers who drag our group of spectators into the water to sing?"
"Huh?"
Chi Chi thought for a moment and said slowly: "What's the matter, Lao Cao also called me during the day today, and now someone is coming to you again?" β
"Director Song Ziqiao is also a professor of B Film, and he was also the one who led me to study in B Film back then, and now that there is you again, he will come to me to talk about it."
Liu Tingxin smiled, his smile was as cold as ever, even if the other party was Director Song Ziqiao, who had the grace of knowing her, it was her greatest respect to be able to call her a director.
"Oh, then I'll go to B-Shadow."
A large pot of improved Mao Xuewang was served on the table, and there was a plate of crispy bamboo shoots next to it.
Mao Xuewang is naturally Chi Chi, and the crisp bamboo shoots are Liu Tingxin's.
"One red, one green...... Dare you, you asked me to come and see you eat meat. β
"The red oil made by Chef Pei is very fragrant, if you taste this Mao Xuewang, it must be different from what other people make."
Knowing that Chi Chi has started to lose weight, in addition to duck blood, Mao Xuewangli also has tripe, beef, beef tendons, and beef breast oil......
Picking up the chopsticks and tasting the beef breast oil that he had never eaten, Liu Tingxin wiped his mouth, nodded and said, "It's quite special." β
No matter how special and delicious it is, one bite is enough, she is not like Chi Chi who is not fat and loves to exercise, and she is not young, so she will gain weight if she is not careful.
For her, eating is never the right thing to do, and then eating and working is the most important thing.
"You just decided to go to B Shadow? Just because I'm here to be a lobbyist with you? β
Liu Tingxin stared at the bald little girl opposite, the other party seemed to have participated in a formal event today, and came to see him without changing his clothes, and now he was wearing a women's shirt dress and a small coat outside, and he looked a lot more mature in appearance.
"It doesn't make much difference where you go anyway, you came to me, at least you don't think I shouldn't go, right? That's enough! β
Chi Chi swallowed the duck blood in his mouth and explained his decision to Liu Tingxin in exchange for the other party knocking on his head.
"It's done, I know, I also owe you a favor, you, you're a little ghost."
Let Liu Tingxin be a lobbyist, she is 100,000 unwilling in her heart, but Song Ziqiao is kind to her, and B Ying has also taught her, and she really can't refuse their request.
Fortunately, Chi Chi was never embarrassing, she casually agreed to Liu Tingxin's unspoken request, but made Liu Tingxin feel at ease.
"By the way, I recently heard that you made a windfall, and Dou Baojia is recruiting troops in a hurry......"
Chi Chi chewed on the tribute vegetables salvaged from Mao Xuewang, and listened to Liu Tingxin gossip with her.
"You have to be careful, there are some online financial investments now, specifically looking for you young and rich stars to fool...... Those who have already suffered losses...... There are more than one or two, some people, they have to look at Shu, and they have taken a big step, but they still have to be planted in the end. β
Chi Chi looked up at Liu Tingxin and smiled meaningfully, with a little ridicule and regret, and suddenly felt that the tribute food in his mouth was a little unbearable.
