2. Weight loss maniac
"Jenny, you're giving you a special treat today." Johnny winked at Jenny behind the bar, "A cup of coffee, a snack, please." ”
"Thanks, John," Jenny's leg ached after eight hours of standing, "a glass of American-style unsweetened milk, a seagull salad without vinaigrette, thank you." ”
Johnny looked at her curiously, "Are you on a diet?" Jane, I don't see the need for this. ”
Jenny smiled and didn't explain anything, but took the packed meal from Johnny and waved at him. "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Johnny good-naturedly waved his hand as well, "Be kind to yourself, Jane." ”
Jenny walked out of the restaurant, stooped down to untie her bike, hopped on it and rode to her accommodation.
Her accommodation isn't very far from the restaurant, and she's lucky to have no uphill or downhill climbs, which is a rare occurrence in Los Angeles, where the mountain roads mean. Chen Zhen found out about this on her first day at work after waking up, and she immediately spent her day's salary to buy a bicycle at the thrift market.
After a twenty-minute ride, she returned to her rented apartment, a small one-bedroom apartment about 20 years old without an elevator.
Due to the more expensive labor in the United States, there is not much difference between the income of white-collar workers and blue-collar workers, Jenny works as a waitress in a restaurant, and her basic salary is eighty dollars a day, and her restaurant is good because it also sells fancy coffee, and the business is good, if you take two shifts in a row, you can get more than two hundred dollars a day, but it is more hard, if you take one shift a day, you can even get about one hundred and thirty dollars in tips, and the income is about four thousand dollars a month, and this small house of fifty square meters is a rent-controlled apartment, although the location is close to Beverly Hills, But the rent is only 600 US dollars a month, which can be regarded as the inheritance left by Jenny to Chen Zhen in the past.
If a restaurant charters a meal, if it is as beautiful and sweet as Jenny, and has the effect of attracting business, the owner Johnny will be more generous, often including two meals, or packing an extra one for her, and Jenny actually doesn't need to spend any more money on food, and even Americans' favorite coffee hot dog restaurant can be provided for free, and there is no expense after deducting rent from a month's income.
In terms of prices in Los Angeles, it is easy to save $2,000 a month to buy fruits, clothes, cosmetics, etc. - But Jenny. Jane, like most Americans, obviously has no sense of savings, especially as a beautiful and willing Hollywood drifter who wants to enter the entertainment industry, it is impossible for her to think about the future and save money from a small place. Chen Zhen was only glad that she didn't owe card debts at least, which was already rare among American girls of her age.
Of course, Jenny. Jane didn't leave her any 'inheritance', she spent most of her salary on clothes and shoes, in this small one-bedroom house, the living room is the cloakroom (Jenny has at least a hundred pairs of shoes), and the rest of the salary is used to buy acting courses. As for other expenses, there is basically no more, although she likes to go to nightclubs with her friends, but as a beauty, she has her own privileges, everyone understands.
Can't help but say, Jenny. Jane is actually a rare and motivated girl, although she has an unrealistic dream of becoming famous, but she finally lives seriously, and accumulates bit by bit in order to realize her dreams. If she also has a certain talent and the luck to win the jackpot, she may have a place in Hollywood in the future, but now, she has disappeared from nowhere, and the person who realized her dream of fame can only be Chen Zhen.
As soon as Chen Zhen returned home, she changed into sportswear, she first walked back and forth in the house, cleaning the room and other chores were completed quickly, because of the speed, and then simply warmed up, the whole body began to heat up, she turned on the newly purchased computer, clicked on winamp, and danced Latin dance to the fiery music.
After dancing for an hour of Latin dancing and doing fifteen minutes of stretching and relaxing, her body probably reached its limit, Chen Zhen fell to the ground and took a nap for about twenty minutes, until she was woken up by the cool breeze, then she got up and went to take a shower and wash her hair, and then began her busy maintenance routine.
In fact, Johnny is right, her figure can be said to be very well-proportioned and fit, as a woman with a height of five feet seven inches and a D on the bust, Jenny generally wears a size 4 (s) dress, which is already very rare among white people. She doesn't have to exercise and lose weight in such a hurry, as long as she doesn't eat and drink deliberately, and standing for eight hours a day is enough to maintain her figure.
But this is for ordinary people, whether it is an actress, a female singer or a female model, as long as it is involved with the entertainment industry and the camera, ordinary bodybuilding will never be enough.
Due to the broadcast ratio adopted by modern film and television, as well as the conversion of three-dimensional and two-dimensional, 'photogenic fat ten pounds' is not a common saying used by fat people to comfort themselves, but a real phenomenon, and it is very likely that the visual effect after being on camera is more than ten pounds fat - because the human eye sees that it is three-dimensional, shadows and shades of outline will be processed, but film and television images are two-dimensional, which is equivalent to flattening a person, of course, the face and body will become fatter than before. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of being a normal person on camera, the face must be smaller than a normal person in life, which is a common sense existence in the acting academy, so the more naturally round the face or the less profound the face of the entertainer, the more they have to force themselves to lose weight, but the lucky ones who are born with deep facial features and a sense of hierarchy can put in less effort, but this does not mean that they can eat and drink. Any practitioner who is still a little ambitious in his acting career and does not want to play a fat man will almost never have a day to eat, and the difference is only in how to starve himself.
Of course, there is a price to pay, a normal person on the camera or an actor who is thin on the camera, not to mention that his face is terrifyingly small in reality, he is basically a hanger without meat, but most of them have the problem of being too thin, not to mention the hidden health hazards, just falling in love has obstacles, after all, most normal people still want to be with normal people, at least, it is so in appearance......
Chen Zhen is lucky, she lost weight for four years when she was studying in her last life, because she has a boyfriend, and the other party likes her girlfriend with a little bit of meat, so she didn't starve herself much. After graduation, it is logical to get married and become a young lady of a wealthy family, although I am also thinking about maintaining my figure, but this strength is not the same as that of insiders after all. As for this life, Jenny. Jane should be of pure Germanic blood, this bloodline has deep facial features, the outline is as obvious as carving, and the disadvantage is that it is middle-aged and old, but the advantage is that it is very layered on the camera, with its own shadow effect, and it is very thin.
Old, you can make up for it with makeup, but you can't be fat, in terms of being photogenic, I have to admit that Caucasia has racial advantages, plus Western aesthetics are not fanatical about the pursuit of thinness, so she doesn't have to be like her Chinese counterparts, one by one to devote herself to the direction of white bones, matchsticks to fix and starve, just need to get rid of excess fat through a lot of exercise, and maintain the figure at the standard of being thinner than normal people.
In other words, her short-term goal is to wear the No. 2 outfit.
She doesn't have the physical strength to run the gym more than once, and she can't afford to hire a personal trainer, but fortunately, when she was a rich wife in her previous life, in order to maintain her figure, she has always had the habit of exercising regularly, and she has danced Latin dance for many years out of personal hobby, so she can exercise in her own room. As for skipping dinner, quitting sugar and milk, and saying no to vinaigrette, this is the proper meaning of weight loss, and it is almost Chen Zhen's instinct, even in her previous life, she had not eaten many of these things.
Eight hours of shifts, it takes 4o minutes to ride back and forth to work, and it takes an hour and a half to exercise when she comes back, Chen Zhen's body is almost at the limit, she took a shower and watched the news a little and fell asleep, and at six o'clock the next morning, as soon as the alarm went off, she got up on time again, drank water, ran for an hour in the morning, came back and took a bath, and then sat down to eat her most important meal of the day.
After taking out the salad she had packed yesterday, boiling two more eggs, adding a slice of boiled chicken breast to herself, and a large glass of milk, her stomach was finally starting to feel full. Chen Zhen felt that this white man's body was anti-creation, and after such a high-intensity exercise, he was full of vitality as soon as he got up and eaten.
After breakfast, there was still an hour and a half before work, and she was not idle, but sat in a yoga pose in the living room, set the alarm clock, took a deep breath, and activated her golden finger.
With a move of the golden finger, Chen Zhen suddenly fell into darkness.
