Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Although the good New Year's holiday should not be about work, but since Su Yun really didn't have an appointment after the New Year's greetings, she simply took a detour and went to a handmade tailor shop opened by her second sister, Zhao Suyun, which specializes in high-end customization. .

Probably because it was the first day of the new year, the store was quiet, only two young female shop assistants who stayed behind to watch the store were inside.

"Let me check the batch of clothes that I ordered before." Su Yun took a step forward and handed the order voucher to the saleswoman at the front desk: In fact, with Su Yun's current fame and status, even if she didn't take the voucher, the clerk would recognize her. My boss's sister's, so I just glanced at it briefly, and asked another person to go to the warehouse to get the sample out.

In terms of costumes in "Tomb Raiders", Su Yun is uncharacteristically striving for perfection. The previous costumes were extremely expensive, and the modern costumes are also made according to the high-end custom specifications, so we can no longer cooperate with her and the old neighbor Wang's family. Clothes factory orders - the clothing factory that the Wang family is in charge of takes the route of quantity and cost-effectiveness. In the early years, Su Yun made a lot of money for the same style of film and television by relying on this increasingly large batch.

This is the reason why she seldom makes ancient costume-themed movies: it is difficult to open up the market for the same style of ancient costumes, and the modern costumes she designs and matches can be shown by the high-value protagonists in the play, which can create a good-looking effect and bring a lot of attention. One element can even be popular in several styles.

For example, Elizabeth Taylor, who played a supporting role in "Pounding Heart", Su Yun racked her brains and bit the nib of her pen. She designed a lot of retro-style dresses that maximize her strengths and avoid weaknesses, especially for her plump body that is always easy to get fat. To this day, there are still several classic export products that are selling well in the factory.

But this time the protagonists are equipped with high-end modern costumes. In addition to bringing goods, there is another deep-seated reason why Su Yun has not announced it to the public.

Therefore, when it was found that the first batch of samples could not fully meet the requirements, Su Yun decisively chose to wait until the start of construction on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to continue repairing: This is not like when filming an inland scene, because of the environmental factors of the era and a lot of excavation. The relationship between drama and action drama, so we can relax some requirements for that batch of costumes.

This batch of custom-made costumes includes improved Chinese gowns and Chinese tunic suits, as well as typical western-style long windbreakers and suits, as well as sportswear with a strong sense of design but practicality... As for the other miscellaneous accessories , is also numerous.

The shooting background of this batch of costumes is set in a bustling modern metropolis, and it is still used to set off the good looks of the protagonists. Naturally, there are quite high requirements for the shape, material, and workmanship.

When Su Yun was signing the bills one by one, Zhao Suyun, who came to inspect the store, asked with some doubts: "If you go back to work again, will there be any problems with the budget?"

As an art designer, she naturally wanted to keep improving, but Su Yun's planned shooting was very big this time. Even if she cooperated with her own people and gave discounts, she still spent too much money on customizing costumes.

"You get what you pay for. If you want to do it, then do your best." After signing the last order, Su Yun tilted her head and looked at Zhao Suyun, almost trying to impress her, "Or... Can you let me install it?"

Teased by Su Yun's confident appearance of asking for money and discounts, Zhao Suyun said dumbfoundingly: "Before you 'borrowed' a lot of jewels from my eldest sister, but it wasn't enough? Now you want to get another one from me?"

Remembering that before Su Yun returned to the mainland to start filming, she coaxed her elder sister Zhao Suwen to rent a lot of valuable old objects from the jewelry store under her name, Zhao Suyun couldn't help shaking her head: "Eldest sister was joking before." I told myself that anyway, those old items would not be sold after a year or so in the store, since Su Yun wanted to borrow them for filming, then it was a New Year's gift for her little sister, Su Yun.

However, compared to Su Yun who is dedicated to her career instead of messing around like a younger brother, as an older sister, it doesn't hurt to support her.

As the eldest sister said, it is like giving a New Year's gift to the little sister who is going home for the first time.

Seeing that Su Yun was really worried about the budget, Zhao Suyun thought about it and reminded, "Or, you can try to mention it to Mommy and Dad at dinner tomorrow night?"

The Zhao family is in the business of film and television, so it’s like catering. The busiest time is always during the New Year’s holidays; then New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year’s Day are usually not enough for a family reunion dinner. If there is no accident, Most of this reunion dinner is scheduled on the second night of the new year.

So, they also made an agreement with Su Yun before, let Su Yun go to Zhao's old house for dinner on the second night of the new year, and leave Su Yun to "free activities" on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year.

"I do have this plan, but this still needs a little opportunity." Su Yun smiled mysteriously, "Thank you for your support from my second sister, I will definitely take a good look at these clothes and help you Pull a lot of business!"

"Come on, I know how to be good." Zhao Suyun shaved her cheeks, and then said, "I asked Zhang Ji to help me with some windbreakers. If you have any special requirements, go to his house to ask for help." Let’s talk about it with him in the next year, so as to save some revision time.”

"Received!" Su Yun put the receipt away in her brick-like donkey bag, said goodbye to Zhao Suyun, and drove to Zhang's house.

After sneaking into the hall in the name of New Year's greetings, Su Yun saw Zhang Querong sitting in the corner dressed in a long gown, drinking by himself.

"You don't have a job today?!" Su Yun looked at him with some surprise: Although Zhang Querong's song disc performance is not satisfactory yet, there are continuous movies and TV dramas that are popular, and they are more or less mixed into the second-tier. So today's TV station The New Year's New Year special program deserves a place for him...

"Yes, but it's a pity that my old man doesn't know that you can pretend to be seriously ill to get me back from England, not to mention an announcement from the TV station." Zhang Querong's family has always disapproved of him showing up in the entertainment industry Yes, and the methods are tougher than those of Chen Baiyang's family. If he didn't persevere desperately and make some achievements, it is probably the way to pack up and go home to inherit the family business.

"Oh, it's hard for you." Su Yun patted his shoulder reassuringly.

Zhang Querong sighed, and then explained Su Yun some of Zhang's father's temper and personality characteristics, and finally exhorted: "My old man had a stroke before, and he is still not recovering well, so today's handwork is handmade. It’s for the apprentice and he’s the commander. If you have any questions, it’s best to speak in detail, with a louder or slower voice, and his ears are not very good..."

"You really care about him." Su Yun glanced at him with a smile.

"In the final analysis, two fathers and sons in one life, there is no overnight feud." Zhang Querong sighed again, "Although he does not support me on the surface, but I heard from my mother that he often watches my show..."

Su Yun couldn't help smiling at this kind of traditional Chinese parental practice that she didn't support on the surface but silently paid attention to behind the scenes.

Talked to Father Zhang and his apprentices about the requirements for the windbreaker, and when Su Yun was about to leave, Father Zhang stopped her suddenly: "By the way, a city councilor in the United States ordered a few sets from me before." Suit, when I came to pick up the clothes, I fell in love with your sample clothes and wanted to make one. I didn’t agree because I thought it was for you to use as a play, but he still asked me to ask if I could give him a windbreaker. ?”

"Of course, but after the movie is released at the end of the year, it will be officially sold as a movie." Su Yun waved her hand generously.

Su Yun took a look at the member's business card that Zhang's father handed over: Oh, what a coincidence.

However, it is not uncommon for the time-honored brand in Xiangjiang to customize clothes after graduating from middle school in Xiangjiang.

Everything was ready and there was an unexpected harvest, so Su Yun came to Zhao's house on the night of the second day of the new year full of confidence.

The Zhao family does not have a very strict rule of eating and sleeping. Facing Zhao Rifu's question about why her movie budget is so tight, Su Yun is quite calm: "Before I talk about this question, I want to give you Watch something."

"Come on, let me show it for you." Zhao Rifu himself is a film and television fanatic, and it is uncomfortable not to watch movies for a day, so in addition to the special screening room in the company, a small screening room is also designed at home and various advanced broadcasting systems are arranged. Equipment, as soon as Su Yun took out this video tape, Zhao Lizhong quickly stood up to help.

Anyway, he has been used to being a younger brother for these years, so instead of being called up to help by others, it is better to take the initiative to attack first - and the little sister Su Yun has helped him a lot in the company before, and it is quite appropriate to reciprocate point.

After a few fiddlings with Zhao Lizhong, an icon with all the words in English appeared on the big TV screen facing the dining table.

"English program?" Zhao Liming, who just came back from Shenzhen City, frowned: Su Yun, a guy who has been making troubles all his life, what is he planning to mess with recently?

"It's a street interview program in the United States." Zhao Liying has been an otaku in Dongying for so many years, but he recognized the main body of this program with a lot of experience.

"What do you think about the fact that there is a Chinese-American congressman running for mayor in Xirui City, California?" As the opening music passed, a host in casual clothes held a microphone and handed it to passers-by.

"Chinese? Running for mayor?"

"Is it Huaxia's face? Is it like the protagonist in the previous hit "Brewster's Billions"?"

"Oh man, let me tell you, Brewster is so cool, if I was in the movie, I'd vote for him too!"

"If a Chinese American becomes the mayor, will he seek benefits for us people like in the movie?"

"I don't know...but I don't mind, as long as it gives me more job opportunities..."

"I heard that this Chinese congressman put forward many proposals to promote economic development, but they were always rejected by some overly conservative people—God, can these old stubborn people step down sooner?"

"Whoever cares who the mayor is, whoever can bring us enough money to buy bread is a good mayor!"

It is not without some extreme remarks, but most of the ordinary people interviewed showed an attitude of not caring much.

Zhao Rifu's gaze sank, and he suddenly looked at the smiling Su Yun: "Unexpectedly... so you still have this plan."

Thinking back, in fact, Su Yun also used this idea of ​​"coaching the unsteady masses in order to achieve the goal" once in the past.

That time, she became the first Chinese Oscar Best Supporting Actress, and also became the youngest Best Supporting Actress record holder.

This time, her ambition is even greater - to take advantage of the popularity and universality of commercial films to subtly let the general public, who has the largest number of people and the easiest to change their cognition, change the old attitude towards China and the Chinese. and Chinese perspectives.

Step by step, they resisted the Western world's vilifying propaganda against China for many years, and at the same time began to plant the seeds of cultural export.

Thinking about Su Yun's goal, Zhao Rifu slowed down his voice: "Tell me your real purpose—you know, before I came to Xiangjiang to make a living, the third brother gave me a check with unlimited overdraft."
