Hollywood Domination Chapter 315: wedding room wedding dress

"Except for re-arranging the part near the iron fence to ensure that there are no monitoring dead spots, and installing a high-voltage power grid as a protection, the outdoor part has not been changed much, but some soft decorations have been added, such as the swimming pool. A pergola was built and a cozy four-sided gazebo was added. It can be seen from here just a few steps away, just above the cliffs, and from here you can easily overlook the crowds of Broadbeach, and lo and behold, there is Larry Alison - the home of Oracle's CEO, of course, his property is all over Los Angeles, but he still lives there most often, well, it seems that someone is playing on the tennis court, maybe that's Larry, maybe that's It's his friend..."

After several considerations, Jenny finally spent 30 million to buy this mansion in the mountains near Broadbeach. Mu's mansion is extremely secure. Like Chris, it occupies an entire hill alone. Compared with Chris's mansion, its advantage lies in that unless you are a rock climber, it is difficult to get off the cliff. Intrusion, as long as one side is well protected, there is no need to worry about the stalker intrusion. In addition, it is located above the wide beach where the stars and rich people gather. The geographical location is much more suitable than Christopher's set, so although the price is five million more , and no beach, but Jenny was pretty happy with it. After Cesare returned to Los Angeles in March, he signed a contract of intent, asked the decoration team to move in and make some appropriate changes, and after several professional inspections, finally ushered in Jenny’s final inspection before moving in—of course, in Prior to this, Jenny and Cesare had already paid 30 million U.S. dollars in one go and became the owners of the house.

Although the decoration project this time was simple, and the interior furnishings were not greatly changed, it only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it still alarmed the boss of the decoration company - Jamal Lai, a contractor who specializes in the business of Beverly Hills residents. Leigh himself appeared on the stage, and his intention to take the opportunity to get in touch with Jenny is of course obvious. However, Jamal behaved well and his eloquent narration was very pleasant, even though Jenny had seen countless mansions She lived in Hilton's luxurious presidential suite all year round. During Jamal's smooth introduction, she still couldn't help nodding to his narration frequently, and the corners of her mouth kept upturned. She was quite satisfied with these changes.

"The next step is your private garden. At present, the varieties selected are more drought-tolerant and light-loving. That is a piece of Portlandia rose. If you need a gardener, we can also introduce suitable candidates." Jamal seems to be used to this kind of rich business. Although he clearly puts Jenny in the column of important people, he still does not forget to take care of Cesare, "Sir, do you want to go and see the tennis court? From this Pass by the small road, and you can see it in two minutes on foot, the open clay court, we have just done renovations—"

"It's not necessary," Cesare shook his head, and he glanced at Jenny, "Go into the house quickly, there is a lady here whose hands are almost sore."

Hiding under the umbrella and wearing a baseball cap, Jenny shrugged at him, but did not deny Cesare's statement. Of course, as a Caucasian, she is not so prone to heat stroke, but Jenny I also don't like to stay outside in the morning when the temperature is getting higher, especially when I stand with several men. Caucasians and blacks have serious body odor problems. Once sweating after the heat, some people still have a hard time covering up the smell. Mixing it with the smell of antiperspirant is simply a killer. Jenny herself has no problem. Sare is also okay, not the type with heavy body odor, but Jamal and Woody and others are strong men, especially Jamal, she has gradually smelled him-this reminded her of being in the Caribbean During the filming of "Pirate", she was uncomfortable almost every day, largely because of being smoked.

"Okay, here please, this is our security system. There are cameras at every entrance and exit. If this door is closed for 3o minutes, if someone opens it, even if you swipe your card to enter, you must enter the security code, otherwise It will remind the security room in the podium. Unless fingerprints enter, we will make a security handover with Woody in a while, and you need to go to the security room to enter fingerprints." Jamal stopped in front of the hall, and opened the door with a card while introducing, Entered the security code, "The furnishings in the house have not been modified too much, and it is still in the Regency Revival style. From the right side, we have newly installed an indoor theater system in the audio-visual room, and then there are two separate gymnasiums. This is Ladies only, with soft vinyl flooring, a mirrored wall, yoga balls, poles, and suspension training system - this gentleman's gym has sandbags, ellipticals, and lifts, and this area is family fun The leisure area, as for the social area on the left, the wide hall, the bar, a good place for parties..."

This manor covers an area of ​​8 acres, which is about the size of a football field and a half. Of course, the house cannot be too small. Jenny and Cesare live in the main building alone, and the security guards and housekeeping staff on shift live in the podium. It is conceivable how big the space per capita will be. In fact, the phrase "a family with a lot of wealth can only eat three meals a day; a mansion with tens of thousands of rooms can sleep no more than three feet at night" is very applicable here, such as the formal living room , Jenny may not go there a few times a year, the dining table there can accommodate dozens of people for dinner at a time, the decoration has not changed, it is still so luxurious, sitting there eating salad is not only weird, but also very bleak, in the leisure area on the right There is a living room with a small dining table, couch and a big TV, also near the kitchen, which is the daily life area.

Besides that, the only places she would go often are the gym, the audio-visual room and the bedrooms upstairs—the second and third floors were also the places that were changed the most during the renovation process. Several rooms have been converted into study rooms, reference rooms, guest rooms, etc. On the third floor, there is a "big guest bedroom" with the same size and decoration as the master bedroom, just above the head of the master bedroom. It was opened up and made into a very huge cloakroom and dressing room. Jenny’s luggage was also transported in recently, quickly filling the cloakroom half full, and Claudia, who came from the same place, walked around the room, Judging by the expression of estimating something, as long as she is willing, it is not difficult to fill the cloakroom in one day.

"I think it's best not to entertain ladies in this room, otherwise, you have to watch out for midnight visitors in your cloakroom." Jamal said jokingly, then knelt down and introduced Jenny, "There is a hidden lock here. After opening it, it will be our safe. Although the front display cabinet is also made of bulletproof glass, we still recommend that you keep the really expensive jewelry here privately..."

After the half-day inspection, Jenny shook hands with Jamal and said goodbye with satisfaction, and promised to introduce new customers to him. After he left, she got acquainted with the operation of the security system in the security center of the podium building, and After the fingerprints were formally entered and the security system was restarted, this house officially became the residence of Jenny and Cesare—all of Jenny’s personal belongings were brought here, and they also cooked some fresh food on the way here. Of course, Jamal also thoughtfully filled the room with valuable daily necessities. The service is as thoughtful as a five-star hotel. Even the bedding is made of Egyptian cotton that Jenny likes, which makes Jenny really praise I paid attention to Mary's care.

"I knew you'd remember the brand," she said, grinning, rubbing Mary's shoulders, "God knows how much I missed my sheets when I was in Italy—and they must have been a thousand, that's all. It’s better to stay in an old-fashioned hotel, they prepared the same bed sheet for me at Beijing Hilton, but Changbaishan didn’t have it at all.”

"This shows that your service is already at the level of a hotel." Claudia joked as she opened the drawer on the makeup table and put the items in the makeup box inside, "This is good news. If you If you're unemployed, you can consider applying for a waiter at the Hilton Hotel-but, if I ask you, you have such a good temper, just now you can listen to Jamal claiming your credit for himself, and you still didn't say a word, I thought you couldn't resist arguing with him, even I almost couldn't—suspension training system, the way he said that word, it seemed like he could come up with it."

Jenny couldn't help but be amused by Claudia: Jamal likes to show off a little, but this is also human nature in his business. After all, in Hollywood, the luxury house decoration business is rich in oil and water. , often meet big fish, so the competition is very fierce. When the service is very good, it is always necessary to have some external tricks to ensure that you will always have work. Anyway, for Jenny, she knows who should be credited for these thoughtful designs - neither Cesare nor she has time to stare at the decoration, this matter is entirely caused by Mary, and only Mary who has been by her side can do it. You will know that she doesn't like sun exposure and what kind of exercises she does every day.

"This is already a relatively minor problem for him, let him talk about it." Mary waved her hand and said a little tiredly, "Don't get me started complaining—seriously, don't get me started , you don't know how painful it is to squeeze the water out of his quotation. People say that all decorators fall into the eyes of the money. It's not true, at least not Jamal. He's just a whole person Huge money eyes, you know, huge black holes—"

"He's doing a good job anyway," Claudia said. "Have you heard about the Stallone thing? Mistakenly took the advice of a reality TV actress—probably one of his best friends. , found a contractor, and was cheated of more than one million yuan, and in the end, the house was simply unlivable..."

"Oh, of course I heard about it. By the way, do you know that Lindsay Lohan is about to face a lawsuit again? He is also a contractor, and the renovation payment that should have been paid three years ago has not been settled yet, so I Keep telling Jamal that we pay very fast and he should give us a discount..."

Among the chatter, the three women quickly cleaned up their bedrooms for Jenny, and Jenny also pointed out to them the two guest bedrooms on the third floor, "This way you can come and stay with me from time to time— —Please, please, come and stay with me from time to time.”

"Sorry, I'm sure I won't be able to make room in the last few years." Pointing to her already protruding belly, Claudia jokingly said, "Unless, as Jamal suggested, you put a room The guest bedroom was converted into a baby room.”

"...Well, I will try my best." Although the decoration of the guest room is equally luxurious and comfortable, Mary also showed embarrassment and reluctantly agreed. Jenny was so angry that she punched her and said mockingly. "That sounds like a chore."

"Actually, it's true that living on a cliff is quite terrifying." Mary seriously defended herself, "Especially this house is very big, you know, and the population is so small , it feels somewhat—"

"It's cold." Claudia also interjectedly said, "Indeed, I also feel this way. I don't think I would choose to live here even if I have this budget. I prefer to live in Los Angeles, although It's hotter there, and the air isn't as good."

"I have such a feeling," Mary also nodded eagerly, and seemed to want to continue the discussion with Claudia. However, after she glanced at Jenny, she quickly changed her tune, "But it's perfect for you, you know, for us, living among people makes us feel safe, but for you it might be the opposite, so this house is really your best bet. option, being away from crowds should make you feel quiet and safe.”

"Thank you, your words made me understand that my life is not such a failure." Jenny gave Mary an angry look, "Let's go down to have lunch, Jim should be here too?"

Jim is here to install computers in the new house - Jamal and Woody's company is responsible for connecting the security system, and Jim is responsible for the network security of the new house. The enemy turned the situation around twice, and his proficiency in the Internet has become the hallmark of Dameng. Of course, the home network of the two family members must be specially protected, so as not to make any mistakes, but they will be backed by the same tricks.

Because Jenny basically eats grass for a living, and Cesare often has to go out for dinner, it seems a bit wasteful to prepare a permanent cook. The former cook Claudia is now in special circumstances, so this little The food for the housewarming party is also provided by Jim—pizza to-go brought from LA and reheated in the oven, while Jenny enjoys just a morsel of cheese and a poached chicken salad herself, and if the script goes well, the film will be out in June. The filming will start, and now she is going to enter the period of dieting and training, any indulgence will make her regret during training.

"So we said, this house needs a few more residents, otherwise we can start shooting ghost movies directly-what a B-movie theme, the cliff villa under the moonlit night, the mansion with only two people suddenly had a power outage, The heroine who was taking a bath put on her bathrobe and rushed downstairs in panic. Her husband disappeared, but she suddenly found that the piano downstairs was playing by itself..." Mary lowered her voice, said ghostly, and then looked at Jenny's white eyes. Zhong laughed and joked with Jim, "You really should live in, Jim, just now j.j said that the two guest rooms next to her room are for guests, if you live here, you know ——"

She raised her eyebrows exaggeratedly at Jim, "You are Jane's neighbor——"

Amidst Claudia's laughter, Jenny blinked desperately at Jim and asked softly, "Jim, are you coming? I really need someone to accompany me—"

Jim made a saliva movement, which caused a burst of laughter. Even Cesare shook his head while sighing. However, joking aside, it seems that Jim did not show the slightest enthusiasm for this proposal. , but with the same lack of interest as Mary, Claudia and others, "there is a hundred kilometers away from the nearest bar, and it feels very difficult to live here to get a shot-this is a place for married couples Great place, seriously, but if a bachelor lives here he's going to go nuts sooner or later - and it doesn't even have a beach to attract hot-dressed bums!"

Among the laughter, Jenny also shook her head helplessly: Although she acted nonchalantly, she could even take the fact that this mansion has few people and large rooms, is located on a cliff, and is far away from the urban area as a joke Yes, but in fact she is far less open-minded about this matter than she seems—of course, this is an inevitable and rational choice. Mary is right. After the stalker incident and the reporter's wiretapping incident, living in the crowd has no longer given her What a sense of security, on the contrary, she is always afraid of being invaded into her private house, especially after the death of the reporter Shef, if it is not for this kind of well-guarded, like a fortress-like manor, she would rather live in a hotel-but when she When she finally moved in, Jenny found that she didn't like living in this kind of empty suburban house. What she was afraid of was not being away from the crowd, it might be the feeling that the house was too big, because when she was on vacation in Italy, She and Cesare also lived on a private island, and there would be no more than three people on the entire island, but the house there was not big, so she felt at ease and free living there. But now, living in such a big house, she always remembered the scene when she walked into her house and found the stalker invading—although the house was not so big, she felt empty when living in it, and There is also a large cloakroom. After that incident, Jenny has never lived in a house with a similar structure. In the cloakroom just now, if Mary and Claudia were not with her, she would not have been able to stay for a minute.

According to the result of the previous discussion, she and Cesare lived alone on the first floor and enjoyed absolute security, so Jenny felt that if someone could live with her on the first floor, she would feel much more at ease. But the crux of the problem is—whether it is Mary, Claudia or Jim, they are not newcomers to the society who were financially struggling seven or eight years ago. Jenny has always been a very generous boss. At the same time as billionaires, the net worth of these confidants has also risen sharply, and they are all millionaires now, with decent and comfortable residences in Los Angeles, and more importantly, their own private lives. It is indeed difficult for them to leave Los Angeles and live in this house that is at least an hour's drive from the city, and Mary and others have indeed not expressed such interest. Among them, Mary, who she can ask the most, has a psychological shadow Maybe it is heavier than her, otherwise when she spoke just now, according to Mary's general reaction, she would not be able to reject it straight away...

Because of the prenatal checkup, Claudia left after lunch, but Judy quickly came to fill the vacancy——while Jim was installing the computer and debugging one by one, Judy and Mary and the unmarried The couple discussed the details of the wedding: If Cesare's original plan was followed, they would just hold a private ceremony directly, and they would not even need to have a dress, ring, etc., and ask Mary or Judy to register online to obtain the qualifications of a priest. The wedding can be completed by swearing casually under the witness of municipal officials, and all this does not need to be known to the outside world. But that idea, of course, fell through because of some fuss from the Los Angeles County Attorney's Office, and there are far too many things to do with celebrity weddings.

"The wedding dress," Judy announced, "that's the first thing we need to think about."

A thick picture album was immediately taken out of the carry-on luggage and placed in front of Jenny, "Verawang is willing to fully sponsor the drinks for the wedding banquet, as long as you adopt their design - of course, there must be photos published. "

"This is Valentino's manuscript. They don't have too many preferential treatment conditions, and they are more playing the emotional card. You know, they did help us a while ago, and they also have brand advantages after all. The royal wedding has contributed wedding dresses..."

&nbr also sent their designs, and they are willing to cover all the expenses of the wedding, as long as we sign a contract with Valentino to become the image ambassador of Dior, the conditions are very loose, and we only need to attend five public events a year Activities, of course, are paid separately. "

l, gui, eilesaab, any fashion brand that makes high-end wedding dresses, there is no one who does not want to package Jenny's wedding-in addition to the high public attention of this wedding, the sponsorship of the wedding dress also includes It has a strong symbolic meaning. After all, everyone in the industry knows that the endorsement contract between Jenny and Valentino has ended, and the in-depth cooperation that required frequent attendance at events, shooting commercials, and magazines has also come to an end. The annoying spokesperson has entered the free transfer market: before when she had an appointment, in the most important ceremonial occasions, Jenny would definitely wear Valentino dresses, and even private clothes were often based on Valentino’s high-end series, and the rest The brand's ready-to-wear can only be sidelined at best - a loyalty that was, of course, annoying when she was still the face of Valentino, but now that she is free, it also makes her a The superstars that major brands most want to sign. Although without this trait, brands will still rush to discuss cooperation, but there is no doubt that Jenny's previous performance has made them more willing to spend money on this opportunity.

Looks like the conditions offered by Dior. At first glance, it seems to be nothing. The type where a wedding is held on a private island and a private jet is sent to pick up the guests. A wedding can cost tens of millions of dollars. After all, Jenny does not have her own island, and the expenses from island rental, venue layout, food and drink, guest accommodation to transportation will be huge and exaggerated. Even if it is calculated at 10 million US dollars, it is enough for Dior to hire a spokesperson for six years That's it - Charlize Theron and Dior's endorsement contract is five million in three years, and this is also a queen-level figure.

Of course, even if it's not so extravagant, it's not uncommon for a wedding to cost over one million. For a star like Jenny, if it's really going to be a big event, a guest list of 500 people is completely easy. As long as you count the drinks you will drink on the eve of the wedding, on the day and the next day, this is actually a big expense. Champagne is not prepared for a bottle of Pol Roger, which is hundreds of dollars a bottle. You are ashamed as an a-r Say hello to people, and Hollywood practitioners are all famous for their good drinking. It is not unusual to spend millions of dollars on booze, and Verawang's sponsorship can be regarded as sincere. On the other hand, Valentino, because they are old friends with Jenny, and they have always been righteous when they need the support of the media over the years, so they did not take the route of spending money, but worked **** the clothing itself, and prepared a piece of clothing that looked like a dream. Huan's design draft, judging from the length of the wedding dress, almost treats Jenny as a royal princess or princess.

"The design is a mixture of lace and chiffon, embellished with crystals and broken diamonds—tsk tsk tsk," after Mary picked up the design draft, she couldn't bear to put it down anymore. "The skirt is two meters long, wow...Jen, if you don't adopt this design, can you say hello to them? Tell them to do it anyway, and I will pay for it-for this wedding dress, I am willing to pay for it next month." Marry Nicholas."

"Looks like you don't have a good relationship with your father." Judy joked, "He might have to sell a house to pay for it, look at those rhinestones, even artificial diamonds, labor costs And definitely not cheap, and where are you planning to get married? Westminster Abbey? Valentino's design is a bit too grand - they probably assume you will have a big wedding, so everything is designed for this Prepared for a little bit."

"These dresses seem to have this problem," Jenny flipped through the thick design drawings, "They are all prepared for weddings with thousands of people-the kind of weddings that will be broadcast live, and we have no idea at all. It needs to be so luxurious, and only a simple dress is enough.”

Judy and Mary looked at each other, and Judy then looked at Cesare, as if she was counting on him to help, "We understand your feelings, but it seems that it is a little bit unreasonable not to provide wedding photos to the media now. Overkill, when the media is pushed to the limit by the crowd's hunger and thirst for attention, it's hard to imagine what they will do, so it's best to hold a relatively private wedding and auction the photos as most of the peers do— —This part of the income can be donated to your charity fund after deducting the wedding expenses, which is also good news—of course, you don’t have to say that in detail.”

Jenny also knows that her resistance to the idea of ​​"holding a wedding relatively seriously" is a bit naive, especially under the premise that acting high-profile is her suggestion, it is actually a bit hypocritical to do so, but this does not change She didn't want to really feel the feeling of standing in front of the altar with Cesare, maybe it was a bit selfish to think so-to deceive everyone, manipulate the media, and use this false relationship as a weapon to attack the opponent, all of which had already been done. Can't bring her psychological pressure like the first time she did it, but the second marriage: not just to get a certificate, vaguely become married, not just live together, The feeling of being roommates who don't break water, but actually solemnly swearing as husband and wife at the altar still makes her uncomfortable, makes her feel that she is treating herself hard, like she is exhausted every day. Forcing herself to get up and exercise all night, like when her companions are feasting on high-calorie food and she can only eat grass, she feels that she is sorry for herself.

Of course, looking at the positive side, humans are creatures that can easily adapt. Now she no longer feels that daily exercise is a chore, and she is no longer even fascinated by food. Her entire eating system seems to have exhausted and died of old age. , would even find poached chicken to be delicious - so, as if she's getting used to cheating the public, maybe she'll finally accept the concept of 'serious weddings', but at the moment, Jenny really doesn't want to think about it seriously Regarding this matter, she shook her head and put the album aside, "Let me take a closer look at these design drawings and think about it."

&nbk. "Judy didn't mean to force her to make a decision right away, she took out another album and puffed out her chest unconsciously, "This is the picture sent by the jewelers, but of course, jewelry is not Probably free, you know, jewelry is not sponsored, that's the unspoken rule—they'll just give you a great, great, great discount—"

She winked at Jenny, obviously proud of the way she was treated - after all, as Judy said, good jewelers and watchmakers, especially those who often supply the royal family, would never Those who donate or sponsor their own products to celebrities for free will not have an official product spokesperson. At most, they will play around and find brand ambassadors or models, but there is no real spokesperson. Big brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier rank much higher than celebrities on the chain of contempt. Unlike clothes, shoes and bags, which need to be worn by celebrities, it can be said that they let celebrities earn their money. Luxury jewelry is the opposite Come here to earn money from celebrities——On this point, only Hermès’ style is comparable to jewelry, and it’s also good when facing celebrities. Even at Jenny’s level, at most it’s just some ordinary bags for free. If it’s It is already a very high-end performance to be able to get a discount for the rare leather grade that is limited in the world.

And Hermès is only comparable to Van Cleef & Arpels and other brands. When it comes to style, it is always half a frame behind. In addition to Van Cleef & Arpels and other brand jewelry, the unit price is very expensive after all. There, it is not shouting out hundreds of thousands of dollars, but in fact it is only labor costs that need to be paid. The cost of clothing materials is negligible in such a large number. High-end dresses can be compared, and Van Cleef & Arpels can give discounts, even if it is only The 10% discount all shows Jenny's status. Now according to Judy, she can get a "very favorable, very favorable, very favorable" discount. No wonder she is full of pride and pride from head to toe, that straight They seemed to be silently shouting: 'I am so honored to be Jennifer Jefferson's PR. ’

"Okay, okay," Jenny said calmly, facing Judy's fanaticism, she acted quite calmly, "Actually, I only want a tiara, and I don't want the one that is too expensive. So, even with such a discount, I believe it won't save much money..."

This time, not only Judy, but even Mary let out a gasp of shock, condemning and saying, "Jenny!"

"wt?" Jenny spread her hands, "It's not that we really need to commemorate something-seriously, would anyone wear a necklace with a wedding dress every day? Just let it lie here and increase the chance of being stolen." risk, or put it in the bank and pay the safekeeping fee? Logically speaking, it is very stupid to spend too much on wedding jewelry-"

"Oh, I don't want to listen to you." Mary covered her ears and began to mutter nonsense words, blocking Jenny's speech, but Judy simply ignored her and turned to sit still. Cesare, who was operating the phone on the side, "Listen, Cesa, about your dress and watch, here are my thoughts, Vacheron Constantin, what do you think..."

About celebrity weddings, as big as the big event, wedding dresses, tiaras, wedding rings, as small as wedding drinks, or even a bouquet of flowers, there will always be sponsors who hope to get involved. The difference is only the amount of budget, such as In the face of global clothing brands, they would rather spend a lot of money to win this wedding show, because Jenny's wedding photos will definitely spread all over the world. In terms of her influence, one sponsorship is enough to increase the brand's global popularity , even in Japan, China, Russia and other East and Central Asian regions, it is not impossible to set off a wave of rich people following suit, especially in East Asia, where local stars have never been recognized very much, so luxury brands are cautious when selecting local spokespersons , Many brands don’t even have local spokespersons. Instead, they are more cautious when choosing spokespersons in Europe and the United States, hoping to choose a globally famous star to drive brand awareness in the local area. After all, in this kind of blue ocean market, marketing is sometimes the key to success. The simplest example is h, which is basically a luxury civilian brand in the United States, but in China, it was once considered to be only slightly inferior to The lv brand, the specialty store even opened together with guci. But Valentino is even more unlucky. Due to the proliferation of Chinese piracy, the Valentino brand has been preemptively registered, and brand recognition has been ruined. Most of the consumer groups feel that the style of this brand is similar to bogus brands such as Bossini and Pierre Cardin. Almost, this brand whose pedigree is considered noble in luxury goods has nowhere to cry. It simply withdrew from the Chinese market in 2003 and watched the rest of the brands make a lot of money in this heavenly wonderland with extremely fast growth and ever-changing consumption power. Suffering from counterfeit products as well, lv, whose presbyopic trademark has been reduced to a fake certification mark, has become a difficult brother.

If Jenny first crossed, China was basically a poor and dangerous evil axis country for the American public, but after the financial crisis broke out, now in 2009, China, which successfully hosted the Beijing Olympic Games, It has become synonymous with a new market and a new hegemon. If China in the past was only a threat to the United States in the military field, then the current China has truly shocked and threatened Americans in terms of economic scale. , of course, at the same time as □□ is in the ascendant, all the brands seem to have rediscovered this blue ocean overnight, luxury goods urgently need a star with strong influence in China to speak for themselves, in 2008 they tried to win over George Clooney, who boycotted the Olympics together with Omega, is now in a bit of an embarrassing situation, and "Monroe" has just achieved excellent results in China, and Jenny, who once passed the torch for the Beijing Olympics, has no way of saying how much influence she has in China By the way, these brands have market analysis reports—many emerging wealthy Chinese are ignorant of and indifferent to foreign pop culture, and simply believe in the Hollywood stars they recognize. This cognition is relatively It is fixed and difficult to change. For example, Nicolas Cage is now on the way to pass away, but he is still a superstar representative in China, and those rising stars who have stirred up wind and rain in recent years have poor recognition In comparison, Jennifer Jefferson should be the only actress who has maintained consistent recognition in both Beijing and New York in the past 10 years. This is also an important reason why she is favored by brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels: Europe and the United States The financial turmoil has made life difficult for the rich, and the luxury market is also shrinking. In comparison, the rich in Beijing don’t feel bad at all when they buy famous watches and jewelry. 'Stupid people, rich money, come quickly'...

As for other catering sponsorships, most of them are based on discounts. This is mainly because Jenny’s wedding has a lot of guests, and it is a good self-introduction session. Most of the people who are willing to provide discounts are new brands, as a promotion The event is going on, as for services such as tables, chairs, bouquets, decorations, etc., they are all willing to provide services for free. In addition, magazines and media that are bidding for exclusive rights to report, if they all go to the one with the largest sponsorship In terms of lines, this wedding—calculated—can bring the newlyweds a net profit of at least 40 million yuan, which even covers the house, decoration costs, and property taxes in the next few years. Of course, this also means that this will be a highly public wedding, not only will there be a lot of photos, but there will even be a video for the website to broadcast-for such a report package, "People" has offered two The high price of fifteen million.

All afternoon, Jenny was entangled in these trivial issues, annoying things, and she couldn't make up her mind about any of these choices: whether to sponsor the bouquet or not, and the venue arrangement? For catering services, should you choose sponsorship or a well-known service provider that does not offer discounts? ——Cesare chose her dress and watch a long time ago, and went into the study to work with Jim on the network layout. She wrestled with Judy and Mary for several hours, but she was still stuck in the mud Not an inch.

"Forget it." Finally, Jenny waved her hand in annoyance, and in one sentence she covered the limited progress made in the whole afternoon, "Let's not count the decisions made today, let's put all these aside for a few days, anyway, the wedding time is not so urgent .”

Judy and Mary were both tired after reading the picture album for an afternoon. Judy supported her head and sighed, grabbed her purse and stood up, "If you don't want me to be harassed to death by phone, please, Make a decision quickly."

Since she has a family and no cook in the house, Judy did not stay for dinner, Mary has a date with Nicholas tonight, and Jim has no interest in continuing to eat cold pizza, obviously wanting to go back to Los Angeles to find Having fun, several employees and friends left the mansion one after another. When Jenny came out of the bathroom, she realized that it seemed that she could only spend the first dinner with Cesare in the mansion.

The sky outside the window has already darkened, and the outline lights around the house provide the light source, so when looking out the window, the sky outside is not completely dark, but because of this hazy light, the cloudy sky is far away. The deep black sea surface also became faintly visible. Jenny stood by the window at the end of the corridor, staring blankly at the sea view for a while. A gust of sea breeze blew on her through the window——she shivered. , suddenly came back to his senses, almost instinctively ran down the stairs, followed the lights and noises into the kitchen.

"Hi," she said, standing in the kitchen doorway, watching Cesare rummage through the refrigerator for ingredients.

"Hi." Cesare replied, he didn't seem to care about the sky outside the window, and he was still expressionless, but when he saw Jenny standing still, he asked, "Would you like to join me?" Do you have dinner?"

If it had been another moment—another moment that she, too, struggled to describe and define, Jenny might have been secretly uncomfortable with the invitation, with its homely taste, and embarrassed by the discomfort, but now, in this In the unfamiliar big house, all she could feel was luck and relaxation.

"Of course." She walked towards the sink, "I'm going to make myself a salad, would you like some?"

"No problem, but I know, you won't eat my spaghetti." Cesare said, he closed the refrigerator, "Did you see the cutting board?"

He turned on the headlights, and closed the kitchen window. The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and the tablecloth was no longer blown violently. Jenny turned on the tap, broke the lettuce and rinsed it, Chesa Ray opened a hidden cabinet, "Ah, I found it."

He placed the cutting board on the cooking table, stopped talking, and began to chop onions rhythmically. The sound of clicking and clicking filled the room, forming a warm and harmonious movement with the rushing of the water. For some reason, this sound made Jenny a little more relaxed. Maybe it was because it had been a long time since she fired herself last time. It happened a long time ago, and this voice reminded her of some family-related images, some distant memories that were even blurred beyond recognition—although the memory was blurred, the emotional reflection was still there.

"Did you know?" Jenny turned off the water and began to tear the lettuce. For some reason, in such an atmosphere, it is not difficult at all to let go of the boundaries of social politeness. On the contrary, it is very natural and relaxed. Simply poured out. "We don't seem to have talked about it."

"hm?" Cesare held the knife and sent the onion to the pot. The butter in the pot had already melted, exuding a tempting aroma of oil.

"It's about the wedding." Jenny threw the lettuce into the salad spinner, opened the refrigerator and found a piece of chicken, filled a pot of water and turned it on. She shook her hands, leaned against the edge of the sink, and continued Next said, "This whole fairy tale marriage thing - we never seem to talk about your thoughts, like, how do you feel about all of this? Does being in the public eye cause you psychological barriers? Being famous How do you feel? Balabala, and so on—"

She shrugged, tilted her head to stare at Cesare, and the question slipped out of her lips like water, "For example...would it make you pay for your first marriage for profit? Feel uncomfortable, or do you really not care at all-for you, marriage is really just a bargaining chip that can be traded?"
