The three of them, Sui Qingdou and others, initially opened a coffee shop on Houhai Beach. After the business got on track, they opened an interior design studio this year. This was mainly because Kou Yu had enrolled in a related major at CAFA and had been taking courses for two years. Pei Sizhu also heard Sui Qingdou mention Kou Yu designing clothes, and then he suddenly remembered.
Seeing Pei Sizhu asking about this, Sui Qingdou looked at Kou Yu next to him.
Kou Yu, who is from Jiangsu like Chen Qing, naturally has the graceful temperament of a Jiangnan little girl, said: "It's okay, mainly because the design studio doesn't invest much and it belongs to the service industry."
When Kou Yu said this, Zhuo Yi immediately looked at Pei Sizhu and complained a little: "Xiao Yu and the others are still smart. You insisted on opening a boutique and invested so much."
Pei Sizhu and Zhuo Wei opened a fashion boutique early last year in the bustling Xidan. They mainly sell a variety of women's fashion accessories imported from overseas, from hairpins to anklets, all of which are exquisite, small and diverse. The inspiration came from what the two women saw and heard while traveling around the world.
The store cost more than one million yuan just to rent the space and decorate it in the early stage.
The two women put enough thought into it, and after more than a year, the store has developed its own unique reputation. However, according to the current operating conditions, it may not be possible to recover the capital in ten years, and the store may not be able to last ten years.
That's a mess.
Even if Chen Qing doesn't have any opinions on this, and the capital is provided by a special Weijia fund, and there seems to be no consequences if they fail to pay it, the two women are still quite stressed, and they have been thinking about doing something else recently.
Pei Sizhu was not indifferent in her heart, but after hearing Zhuo Wei's complaint, her expression was calm, but she couldn't help but ask a few more questions about Kou Yu's studio: "Now, even in the capital, there are not many people in the country who can hire people to design and decorate, right? "
"Home decoration is really not much," Kou Yu said. "However, many people now do business, and they are still willing to spend a little money on specially designed store decoration. This is our main source of business."
After Kou Yu finished speaking, Sui Qingdou added sincerely: "Sister Shanwu will also help us introduce some orders, and I plan to recruit more people recently."
Pei Sizhu: ""
Zhuo Wei was also sad, but thinking about it, she and Pei Sizhu's boutique seemed to be unable to introduce any customers. After all, although the things in the store were not cheap, even Jiangshan Wu's level did not seem to be very popular. On the market, it is mainly aimed at the emerging female white-collar class in Beijing.
It’s annoying.
Ren Jingxi and Mo Wuling couldn't get in the way of these girls, and they had no intention of having a close relationship. When the waitress said that her car had arrived, they got up and left. Pei Sizhu and his group saw the two women going out and saw that the sky was about the same, so they quickly got up.
Arriving at Maoer Hutong one after another, it was already dusk.
The eight girls were arranged in the east courtyard of the mansion. After dinner, they turned to the garden in the middle courtyard in twos and threes. On summer evenings, both the pavilion, cloister and library are good places to relax.
Pei Sizhu still chatted with Zhuo Wei, this time with Xia Panxi.
The tall Xia Panxi was originally a couple with Lin Zhao, and she was probably stimulated by that incident. Among the eight girls, she was the most down-to-earth one. She studied accounting for two years and is currently studying at Levison. The China branch of the group worked as an assistant to a female executive and was busy all day long.
Pei Sizhu was joking at the moment: "If compared with ordinary workers, 6,000 a month is indeed great, but it is still not as good as one-third of our monthly salary. Pan Xi, I think you just don't enjoy life. Otherwise, and We are the same, setting up a company or a store by ourselves is worse than running errands for others?"
As he spoke, he came to the boathouse on the small lake in the garden. It was brightly lit and there were obviously people there. Xia Panxi and the other two girls stepped into the threshold and said, "People are different. Anyway, I really like my current job."
In fact, it certainly has the influence of what happened with Lin Zhao a few years ago.
Xia Panxi thought of the same problem as Pei Sizhu. What should we do in the future
It's better to rely on one's own efforts.
However, even if this job is very stable now, Xia Panxi has no intention of leaving a certain identity.
It was also because of Lin Zhao.
First of all, Xia Panxi always doubted whether Lin Zhao was still alive, after all, how could he be so straightforward. Then, no matter what, Xia Panxi realized that her group of girls were different from ordinary people after all. To put it bluntly, they are not the type of people with the kind of bodies to live a normal life.
So it's good now.
Just like her appearance and figure, she has experienced all kinds of looks and covetations many times in recent years.
If it were in the past, without the support of a certain identity, Xia Panxi felt that she would have been chewed up to nothing if she was mixed in the current social class. Now, let alone being rude, almost everyone around her, whether it was her colleagues and bosses in the company she worked for, or the various people she interacted with on a daily basis, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were all polite to her on the surface.
Even the occasional glances that could be seen but not appreciated, or those that were envious but helpless, made Pei Sizhu feel a bit strangely satisfied and proud in his heart.
Come and bite me!
In short, she has become accustomed to this kind of life.
Inseparable.
On the first floor of the boat building, someone was having a meal. This is where the girls in the garden often dine.
Pei Sizhu and the others walked in, glanced at them, and recognized them immediately.
Because they are all celebrities.
Li Youhu, who became famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Heroes, and Princess Xu, who has participated in many film and television dramas in recent years, including Zhang Guoshi's role as Yu Ji in the Chu-Han trilogy, and another teacher, Yu, He has not participated in many films and TV dramas, but he is well known because he often works with Li Youhu.
The three women were chatting and eating around the round table with laughter. When they saw the three Pei Sizhu coming in, they were all obviously surprised for a moment. Of course, this was mainly because of the special figures of the three girls.
This is too big.
Some guy!
The three of them, Pei Sizhu, obviously wouldn't be excited to see a big star. After all, in this courtyard, their identities are clear at a glance.
They just nodded to each other and went upstairs.
After the three girls disappeared, Li Youhu grinned, deliberately raised his hands to hold them in front of his chest, and suddenly made a gesture of throwing them on the table. Princess Xu couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. Teacher Yu also He covered his mouth with the back of his hand and just glared at Li Youhu to signal her not to go too far.
Li Youhu originally wanted to say a few words, but when Teacher Yu reminded him, he obediently shut up.
The three girls ate some food before continuing to speak. Princess Xu said: "Youhu, you have such a high starting point in Hollywood. Why do I feel that you are not active there at all? You haven't starred in any Hollywood movies in the past two years?"
Li Youhu was straight-tempered and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "Sister Qing, do you also want to develop in Hollywood?"
Princess Xu did not deny it and nodded: "Who doesn't want to go to Hollywood?"
"I don't want to go," Li Youhu added, and then continued: "Actually, if you go there, you will understand that it is difficult to get along there. There are not as many opportunities as you think, and there is obvious discrimination against us Asians. .”
Princess Xu didn't believe it: "Where's Simon? Who dares to discriminate against you?"
"Even if they don't say anything, it's obvious in their words and deeds," Li Youhu said, paused briefly, and then said: "Besides, Simon doesn't care about these things, he just has a business-oriented character. If you go, you can get an audition opportunity, but whether you can get a role or not depends on your own ability. If you are not suitable, tell him, but you will be taught a lesson."
Princess Xu thought of Chu Han, whom she had just finished filming, and couldn't help but feel the same way.
At first, she thought she was chosen because of their relationship. Later, she suffered a lot for this role and did not feel any preferential treatment at all. However, he was still a little unwilling and said: "I think it is better to go to Hollywood than to go to China."
When Li Youhu heard what she said, he stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, Teacher Yu said, "In fact, there are a lot of opportunities in China now, and everyone can feel it."
Princess Xu couldn't hold it back and said bluntly: "But I make little money."
Li Youhu suddenly laughed: "Are you short of money?"
I also wanted to say that I will lend it to you if you are short of money, but I didn’t think about it.
Emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence!
Princess Xu was not embarrassed at all and admitted: "Yes, I don't have enough money anyway."
In the past few years, a certain man had been generous to her. He had a car and a house, as well as monthly living expenses, but it was really not enough for her. Including the salary of actors, whether it is TV series or movies in China, except for the top few, the salaries of other films are not high at all.
Teacher Yu said: "In this case, you won't make much money if you go to Hollywood. You still have to take chances."
Li Youhu raised his chest slightly and interjected, "Like me."
Teacher Yu glared at her again, then reacted and said to Princess Xu: "This time Chu Han, after it is released, you will definitely be almost as good as Youhu. By then, your salary will have increased a lot, and the endorsement fee will definitely be Higher too.”
Princess Xu lamented: "Then we have to wait until next year."
Li Youhu smiled and offered his advice: "Tonight, just ask him for it. A check from Simon will be enough for you to spend a lifetime."
Princess Xu rolled her eyes at Li Youhu.
I've thought about it.
But she didn't dare.
Just as Li Youhu said just now, she actually feels the same about a certain man's temperament. He is obviously the kind of super macho man. I will give it to you only if I am willing to give it to you. If you don't know how to open your mouth randomly, you will be a fool. No children. Anyway, she didn't dare to take risks. If she angered the man, it would be more than worth the loss.
What's more, it's not certain whether I can see him tonight.
Just like the three that just appeared, Princess Xu didn't even know how many women there were in this mansion.
In short, it is more reliable to be self-reliant and take on more films.
Now that Chu Han has completed her film, even if the film has not yet been released, there are many film producers or advertising companies who want to take advantage of her low net worth to take advantage of her.
it's the only way.
Um.
In addition, Hollywood must also fight for it.
What if.
Princess Xu's requirements are not high, just reaching Jiang Anqi's level will be enough.
Because during this period, Rescue 2 was once again a big hit in North America, even if she only played a supporting role in it, the rising tide lifts all boats. Currently, Anqi Jiang's salary in the domestic film industry has risen to a level of no more than two or three million yuan, and the TV series has even more It's a no-answer.
In comparison, Princess Xu only received a salary of 1 million yuan for her back-to-back roles in the Chu-Han trilogy, which was exhausting. The average salary for each movie was just over 300,000 yuan. After all, although she had hooked up with a man before, However, his status has never been high. For example, when he first participated in Love Call Transfer, he only received 20,000 yuan, but this time he was given 1 million, largely because of a certain man, otherwise it would have been even less.
Anyway, things will definitely be different after Chu and Han.
After going through so much hardship and watching the sample film in private, Princess Xu felt that her performance in it was no worse than Li Youhu's performance in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or even better.
Looking forward to it in her heart, Princess Xu asked the two girls: "Are there any good projects in the industry recently? I mean movies?"
The TV series cycle is too long, and she doesn't want to be too tired, let alone lose her share.
Li You smiled and said: "Yes, three blockbusters, Detective Chinatown, Detective Dee: Dragon King, and Painted Skin."
Princess Xu rolled her eyes: "I know this too."
Moreover, she had inquired about it in advance, and either there was no suitable role for her, or the suitable role had been taken away.
Teacher Yu said: "Everyone knows about the projects that are available in China. If you want to make quick money, maybe you can try it in Hong Kong."
"Isn't the film environment there very bad?" Princess Xu said: "Before, Hong Kong filmmakers went to the mainland to ask for policies."
Li Youhu said: "There is also the underworld."
"Do the underworld dare to touch us?" Teacher Yu said something to Li Youhu from the bottom of his heart, and then turned to Princess Xu: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The film environment in Hong Kong is not good, but hundreds of movies can still be released a year. And, because of our relationship, it will be easy for you to develop in the past."
Princess Xu thought for a moment and nodded: "I'll ask Sister Hua to ask tomorrow."
Li Youhu waited for her to finish her words, then couldn't help but smile and come up with a crooked idea: "Actually, Sister Qing, if you work hard tonight and serve him well, you will have everything you want."
Princess Xu was immune to this kind of ridicule and counterattacked: "I think you should try harder. You have three words written all over your body now."
Li Youhu couldn't help but jumped into the trap: "What?"
Princess Xu smiled and said, "I miss a man."
Teacher Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth and burst out laughing.
After chatting and having dinner, Princess Xu asked the waitress who was clearing the dishes about a certain man. The answer was "I don't know." The three girls simply stood up and did not go back to the west courtyard. Instead, they turned to the nearby library, intending to continue drinking tea and chatting. In fact, the second floor of the first floor was also very suitable, but it was occupied by three other girls.
While walking through the garden corridor, the three girls also met Zhao Li and Ban Chuxue, who were also in the same group. The two girls had been studying photography at Beijing Film Academy for the past two years, and were shooting night scenes in a small pavilion with the help of a waitress. . Then, when he came to the library and saw Sui Qingdou, Kou Yu and Beizi in the tea room on the first floor, Li Youhu almost shouted.
this
How many are there? Don't be so exaggerated!
