Assistant Chen was right. It was Mr. Bai's wife Li Mingyi who made a series of strange goose noises.
When Mr. Bai entered the room, she was already laughing crazy on the sofa.
Her hair was messy, her clothes were messy, and her face had a certain oily glow.
As a socialite in Hong Kong, it was rare for Li Mingyi to be so careless about her image. Mr. Bai thought of the document sent to her in the afternoon. At this moment, he could understand two points, so he shouted softly:
"Mingyi."
Li Mingyi's laughter stopped abruptly.
She turned around and found that it was her husband. Then she suddenly remembered something, quickly touched her face, and then made a heartbreaking sound of pain:
“My face mask”
The facial mask disappeared long ago when she was laughing and rolling.
She wailed and rushed to the mirror again
"Ah! Husband, my wrinkles!"
I was wearing an expensive face-sculpting facial mask, but now I have been smiling for so long that my eye lines have been squeezed out.
For Li Mingyi, this is truly an unbearable burden in life.
She frantically dove into the water, scrubbed and washed herself and did her skin care again.
…
Mr. Bai knows that it always takes a while for a woman to do things like this. At this moment, the old man is sitting on the sofa, doing some work that was delayed in the afternoon.
When those documents were all over, Li Mingyi walked out again with a radiant face.
Looking at her husband, she asked curiously:
"Husband, have you read the two documents you sent me?"
Mr. Bai said reservedly: "After looking at it a little bit, it's okay."
Li Mingyi lightly tapped his shoulder:
"Why are you so blind? These two well-written books can't attract you?"
"And hubby, don't you think this book would be really interesting to shoot?"
She still wanted to laugh when she thought of those passages, but there was a scene in the middle where the overbearing president and Bi Qing almost died together, which was quite touching.
There were moments of laughter and tears. Even though Li Mingyi didn't actually understand the requirements of the film and television industry, she could tell that this must be an extremely attractive story.
"I do not care."
She said angrily:
"Have you finished buying your company? I want to quickly buy stars, directors, and screenwriters, so that they can shoot quickly!"
There are few works these days that can make Mr. Bai so affected. He nodded: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Actually, the preliminary work has been done. Now the only thing left is that the contract has not been finalized, and... I still need a reliable professional manager to manage this for you."
Li Mingyi is not interested in management, but she also knows that neither she nor Shanshan nor Weiwei are good at this. At this moment, she just urges: "Then hurry up and find someone who is better, more obedient, and capable."
A little bit.”
Mr. Bai sighed deeply
These days, it’s not like you can’t find talents by spending money.
But you have to be capable, obedient, and have good character...then it's not that easy.
Fortunately, he has a lot of capable people under his command. Now that he has contacted the headhunter, there are already several candidates to be selected.
…
At this moment, his wife was sitting next to him, and Mr. Bai couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, it's rare to relax and don't worry about this. I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight."
Adding some new bags, clothes, etc. to your wife, this is probably the thoughtfulness of a straight man.
However, Li Mingyi suddenly stood up and spoke affectionately:
"Husband, I believe in your efficiency."
"Since you said it's soon, it must be soon. I need to hurry up and communicate with Shanshan to find out which celebrities we want to buy. What if they don't sell?"
The tone of saying this is just like buying a bag on the street.
Mr. Bai couldn't help but sigh: "Don't say it so directly..."
Li Mingyi was born in Hong Kong Island. More than 10 years ago, the status of celebrities in Hong Kong Island was indeed not very good, but now everyone pays attention to respect, so it would not be good to be so direct.
In this regard, Li Mingyi despises that it is better to be aboveboard than to be secretive.
"This is how football star transfers are described. People who are truly ambitious and promising won't care about these things."
She is quite confident:
"Besides, I just want celebrities to make me happy, and I don't expect them to make money, so the treatment will definitely be very good, and they should all like me very much."
Therefore, it is quite boring to pay attention to these superficial skills.
Mr. Bai's brows gradually wrinkled.
He was just about to say something when his wife turned her head and gave him another kiss on the cheek:
"But hubby, you are so good and what you say makes sense. I will listen to you carefully in the future."
His eyebrows relaxed instantly, and he coughed twice:
"You're right. It's no use talking about respect. We have to actually treat others well. I'm making too much of a fuss."
The corners of his mouth turned up: "Do you have enough pocket money? If not, swipe my card."
Li Mingyi waved her hand:
"I have money myself, but you don't have as much liquidity as I do!"
Mr. Bai coughed dryly and stopped talking.
This is true, the money for industrial development is always flowing, and the actual cash flow that can be obtained is not too exaggerated.
And the domineering Hong Kong Tai looked at him affectionately at this moment:
"But hubby, you can't make enough money, so you should pay more attention to your health. It's so hard for you to think about my hobbies when you are so busy."
Mr. Bai suddenly felt elated.
Seeing his wife re-entering the bedroom to make a phone call, he immediately picked up the phone and urged his assistant:
"Has the film and television company taken care of everything? As soon as possible."
…
Fortunately, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and Assistant Chen’s reply was quite worthy of his salary and bonus. At this moment, he sent a message:
"Mr. Bai, the legal department has just sent over the specific contract. Next, as long as the three parties reach an agreement, sign and go through the formalities."
"In addition, I have recently contacted many film and television companies. I am not sure about the specific process of star termination and re-signing. The headhunter has provided the contact information of 6 managers. You still need to take the time to finalize it.
.”
Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the progress. If he worked a little overtime, it should be done tomorrow morning.
At this time, Assistant Chen sent another message:
"I just contacted Ms. Ding Wei. She said that she has already written a work, but it has not been published yet. Of course you can if you want to read it, but she feels that the effect of this feature-length film adaptation is temporary
It may not be that good, so I only recommend publishing.”
Mr. Bai frowned: "What novel is it?"
"The Starry Sky of the Great Era."
Mr. Bai thought for a while: "Okay, you can send it over. Since it hasn't been published yet, please keep it confidential here."
Sending the file only took a while. It was not yet eight o'clock. Mr. Bai hesitated for a moment and clicked on it.
Early the next morning, when Assistant Chen and the driver Lao Zhang came to the villa to pick up Mr. Bai to go to the company, he was surprised to find that Mr. Bai, who was in good spirits yesterday, had red bloodshot eyes and black eyes this morning.
What's going on here?
Assistant Chen couldn't help but struggled:
Is it possible that there were some big changes in the group that kept Mr. Bai awake all night?
As a stakeholder, he couldn't help but become nervous.
The driver, Lao Zhang, has been an old man for many years, and he doesn't have so many scruples about what he says now.
"Mr. Bai, why do you look so haggard? Did you not sleep last night?"
Mr. Bai thought for a while and finally came up with one sentence:
"This classmate Shanshan has a great future."
He pondered for a moment: "Well, I won't participate in their equity allocation. I need a copy of the plan, and I will allocate the amount of money. As for you, make an appointment with those 6 managers quickly.
It’s best to select people quickly. None of the three of them know how to manage, and they don’t have time to deal with such trivial matters. It’s better to leave it to professionals.”
Assistant Chen:……
Such a big change overnight? Weren’t you still hesitating yesterday?
He thought about it and found that almost all the changes occurred after he sent the document.
So I thought hesitantly: Could it be possible... is this story really that good?
…
Mr. Bai didn't know that the assistant was about to fall into the trap. After giving these instructions, he closed his eyes and calmed down and suddenly said:
"By the way, let's talk to Tianxin and focus on the recent emerging products in the technology industry. If there are any good ones, we can continue to follow up."
Assistant Chen was even more puzzled.
Tianxin is an angel venture capital under Mr. Bai's personal name. How can he be busy with the venture capital industry after being busy with film and television companies? Does the country have any new policies?
He was in a daze, but at this moment he carefully wrote down his itinerary.
"Okay, I'll contact you right away."
As everyone knows, Mr. Bai, who is sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, is still agitated in his heart and cannot calm down for a long time.
This refreshing rhythm of writing with impeccable careful consideration of every word and sentence made him, a man who had never been exposed to online writing, still feel passionately aroused even though he was middle-aged.
It was the first time to start a business. Everyone got up at 6:00 in the morning to prepare for the online store shooting. It took nearly an hour just to prepare and select the shooting location.
But when the deputy president's photographer arrived and the shooting lasted only 20 minutes, Ding Wei, who was watching, reluctantly gave Chen Siyu advice:
"Would you like someone else?"
This is not to say that the photographer is not good enough to be the vice-president of the school club. His basic skills are quite good, and his aesthetics are also above average.
but……
Listen to this photographer
"Great! From this angle, the light is amazing!"
Or else...
"Oh my gosh, this shadow is just right here, don't move, don't move!"
And then there’s…
"This tone is so full, just this, just this angle, quick, quick, quick!"
Pinpin.
Pinpin this line.
Well, look at the photos in the camera, every one of them is artistic and beautiful.
But what's the use?
They are going to take pictures of clothes for display today!
The key is to highlight the clothes.
I came to the school specifically to get the scenery, the hazy lakeside, the tree-lined avenue, under the big trees, and the small red brick wall.
The scene is also wonderful, the colors are wonderful, the light is wonderful, and the composition is even better.
It's just that the clothes didn't stand out. What's even more amazing is that the two photos that made the photographer marvel were taken by the photographer lying on the wet grass, with only two tiny dots left on the model.
After being reminded by Ding Wei, Chen Siyu went to look at the photo of the vice president, and could not help but return in silence at this moment.
Seeing the two art students still conscientiously following the photographer's instructions to pose, Chen Siyu finally sighed:
"Senior Brother Liu, I think we should change the way we take pictures."
She was also quite embarrassed.
Everyone liked this president's photo, but she specially invited them to dinner and gave them part of the reward in advance.
Senior Brother Liu was stunned:
"What's wrong? Do you think my photography is not good enough?"
He flipped through the photos he had taken before: "You tell me if there is anything wrong and I will adjust it."
After finishing speaking, before Chen Siyu could speak, he said solemnly:
“I actually think these photos I took this morning are perfect!”
Ding Wei:……
Chen Siyu:......
She smiled sheepishly and said: "Brother, I am planning to open an online store to sell clothes, so the focus should be on highlighting their clothes, including some details."
She also gave an analogy: "For example, the sleeves of this dress, the inner label of the dress, the velvet content, etc., and then the renderings of the front, side and back of putting it on..."
As he talked, Chen Siyu couldn't say much more.
Because Senior Brother Liu's face obviously didn't look good.
He was very dissatisfied.
"Why did you ask me for such a thing? You should have made it clear earlier. Taking such photos requires no technical skills at all. Anyone who can hold a camera can take them."
He was quite unhappy. He dug out all the photos he had taken before and angrily cut them out one by one to show to Chen Siyu:
"Look at this composition, look at this artistic conception, look at the fog on the lake."
The words have a strong meaning of "you have no vision".
Chen Siyu fell silent.
When doing business, peace is of course the most important thing.
But if she, Chen Siyu, values harmony, why has she only now made close friends?
She is also very direct:
"Brother, I understand the truth, but the problem is that I told you early on that I want to take pictures of models wearing clothes."
"You have created so many artistic conceptions, but none of them can promote my clothes. If I show them to customers, what should I show them?"
She was unhappy, and Senior Brother Liu felt even more unhappy.
I feel my artistic taste has been insulted:
"Junior sister, I'm not telling you, it's impossible to do business like this. Nowadays, everyone has an aesthetic sense. If you take photos like this and show them to others, and you don't feel anything at all, who will buy these clothes?
"
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't capture the feeling you want. Please hire someone else."
Chen Siyu:......
She was going to explode.
Not to mention that the business hadn't even started yet, but the other party said no. With this simple attitude, she invited the other party to come over in a nice and friendly manner, invited him to dinner, and agreed on the remuneration.
How do you disrespect others?
The two art students noticed their dispute and couldn't help but stand there hesitantly, not knowing what was going on.
"Weiwei, did our actions just now not go as planned?"
Although they were practicing dance, it was their first time doing this kind of clothing model. They still made money from their classmates, and they felt a little uneasy.
Ding Wei smiled: "It's not your fault. It's because the photographer didn't capture the feeling we wanted. We are currently negotiating."
As soon as she finished speaking, the photographer put his tools on his back and left.
Chen Siyu was depressed to death
"Who are you? Opening your mouth is art, and closing your mouth is aesthetics. Who doesn't seem to have it..."
And now time is money, not the time to argue.
After a bad start, Chen Siyu was obviously very frustrated, and Bai Shanshan was also inexperienced, so she wondered:
"It's obvious that he left without meeting the requirements. Can't it be considered a breach of contract?"
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "We haven't signed a contract, so how can we count?"
After speaking, he sighed.
I thought they would start now and not be so formal first, but they didn't expect it to start like this. It seems that the contract is still indispensable next.
Fortunately, there is little upfront work, and a simple written contract is still very simple.
…
Chen Siyu is also a social expert. Not long after the photographer left, she was frustrated for three minutes and shouted in the group. Soon someone gave her the contact information of a photographer in a photo studio at the school gate.
After another 10 minutes, she said happily:
"I've made an appointment. I'll come over in a minute. It will take 5 hours. No matter how many pictures there are, it will cost 400 yuan. We will edit the pictures later until we are satisfied."
"We don't have to worry about the shooting location. He has all the tools and stuff."
The price is neither high nor low, but as this is the first time we cooperate, Ding Wei thinks it is quite acceptable.
Chen Siyu is indeed Chen Siyu.
…
20 minutes later, a young photographer came over on an electric bike carrying large and small bags.
A professional is indeed a professional.
As soon as Chen Siyu mentioned his request, the young photographer scratched his head and quickly said with a smile: "Don't worry, there seem to be a lot of people opening online stores recently. I have experience and I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with the photos."
He seemed to be really good at it. At this moment, he didn't see much trouble with the model. He just demonstrated a few poses, picked a few locations, and clicked a few times. Each picture could clearly show the advantages of the clothes.
While the models were changing clothes, he also focused on photographing the details of the clothes, icons, etc. according to Chen Siyu's request.
When taking pictures of those gloves and socks, he even built a simple small studio on site, which was square and about the size of a shoe box, with small light bulbs installed inside.
The socks that cost 6 cents a pair were put in and he patted them as if they cost 60 yuan a pair.
Not to mention all kinds of cute little gloves.
I didn't have many clothes at first, and I added gloves, socks, etc., and I had them all done by 12 o'clock.
This kind of high efficiency is very remarkable nowadays. Siyu was very satisfied with the social interaction and joined in without saying a word.
"Brother Du, your photography skills are so good, you should be able to earn more in the store, right?"
Brother Du scratched his head: "I earn a dead salary in the store, 3,000 yuan a month."
By the time the photographer called it a day and left, the two had already had a lively conversation and agreed to edit the pictures tonight and try to send the finished product to her tomorrow.
Chen Siyu carried her clothes and walked to the dormitory while complaining to Ding Wei and Bai Shanshan:
"Wow, you didn't know that Brother Du's family is actually quite weird."
Chen Siyu babbled:
"The photo studio was passed down from his father. Between the two brothers, the eldest brother was already married and had a child. His father was worried that the eldest brother had to bear the burden of the family, and felt that the younger one was not married, so he gave the photo studio and the house to his eldest son."
"When it was over, I couldn't bear to leave my younger son. I still wanted to let the two brothers live happily together, so I asked the photographer to work at home, saying that he would not be bullied."
Seeing the thoughtful look on her face, Ding Wei couldn't help but sigh, this must be the charm of her personality!
As soon as they met, he revealed all his old secrets. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Chen Siyu was really remarkable for being able to reveal so many words.
The amazing Chen Siyu hasn’t finished telling her gossip yet:
"But I asked, for a photographer of his level, in any photo studio in the imperial capital, the salary would not be less than 4,000."
"I was given 3,000 yuan and said I wouldn't be bullied. At home, I was treated like a freeloader by my sister-in-law. When I paid my salary, the other party acted like she was taking care of my relatives. No wonder I wanted to go out and take over private work by myself. I wouldn't have done it if I had done it."
Done!"
Bai Shanshan looked at her and said with admiration: "You have only been chatting for a while, and you already know this!"
Chen Siyu was proud:
"Not only that, I think this young man is quite nice. I have already made an appointment. If I have new clothes next time, I will ask him to take pictures. He said that even if there are guests, he will take pictures for me first."
The clothes for taking pictures were not that heavy, so the three of them carried a little each and quickly returned to the dormitory.
Not long after I returned to the dormitory, I saw two art students who had been models knocking on the door and coming in:
"Siyu..."
They were still a little embarrassed:
"The clothes we are wearing today are very nice. We just want to ask..."
The two of them were also very coy: "I just wanted to ask, since we are also wearing them for photos, can you sell them to us cheaper?"
The two art students have a good sense of aesthetics, and they are also good at clothes, but this also means that their family conditions are good, and they are actually quite picky when buying clothes.
But now that I'm in school, I basically have to buy new equipment for every performance. I can't spend as much money on clothes as I used to.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be part-time models.
Fortunately, they are just ordinary clothing models, and there are no high requirements. The two of them have good temperament and can handle it.
When the two girls knew that Chen Siyu was going to ask them to be models, they felt it was a surprise to be able to wear new clothes.
When they were taking pictures, they felt that the clothes were really good, so they went back to the dormitory to discuss for a while and decided to ask about the price first.
If you can accept it, just pick out two items to wear today and take them back.
Chen Siyu is overjoyed
This is a door-to-door business!
And it is very likely to be the first order!
Isn’t it important to get off to a good start in everything?
She happily took out her clothes:
"Which ones do you like? We are all classmates, don't worry, I will earn some travel expenses and sell them to you at cost price!"
She pointed at those pieces of clothing: "Everything on Taobao stores sells for more than 150 yuan. If you want it, this down jacket is 78 yuan, this one is 85 yuan, and this sweater is even 50 yuan and contains wool!"
"There are also these socks, gloves, autumn clothes, and autumn pants."
She smiled extraordinarily sincerely and honestly: "You wore these clothes today. After a day of shooting, I gave you this price. You know what you are wearing. The clothes are all clean. If you think the price is right, feel free to choose."
"However, the price is only after it has been worn. If other students come to buy it, you must not mention this price!"
