Chapter 417 Another Kind of Self-abasement

After joining the crew, there was a week-long training session.

This was Fan Wumian's own request, hoping to calm down and find the feeling, and at the same time help Zuo Ziyan get into the role better.

Jennifer Connelly, who plays the role of a vengeful female lawyer, is also here. She is now middle-aged, 35 years old, and her temperament is still pretty good.

As a child star who has been famous for her beauty since childhood, she does not have any star airs. After filming "A Beautiful Mind" a few years ago, she married the actor who played the Marvel superhero "Vision".

Occasionally, when rehearsing in the small conference room of the hotel, Jennifer Connelly appeared in a sweatshirt without makeup. Her face was full of freckles and she smelled heavily of perfume. Her star aura was completely gone. Compared with her teens and early twenties, her appearance had dropped drastically.

In contrast, in Fan Wumian's eyes, the older Monica Bellucci appears to be more charming, with a charming, elegant and mature temperament everywhere.

Jennifer Connelly, after getting married, is more like a housewife, focusing on a comfortable and casual lifestyle.

However, in the film "The Invisible Guest", Jennifer Connelly needs to act older, playing the role of a mother of the victim who tries every means to find the murderer after her son goes missing and sets a trap for Fan Wumian to fall into. Whether she is beautiful or not is not that important.

Zuo Ziyan plays Fan Wumian's girlfriend, who is the second female lead in this movie and does not require much acting skills.

It’s the seventh day in Los Angeles.

Just after finishing breakfast in the morning, Fan Wumian went online and saw a new trending search on Weibo, which firmly occupied the first place on the trending search list.

——"Fan Wumian's obsession with Zuo Ziyan."

The news that "The Invisible Guest" is about to start filming has been released through the Myth Film Studio. When countless netizens learned that Zuo Ziyan would play his girlfriend again, they almost laughed their heads off.

The reason is that they thought Fan Wumian couldn't seduce Zuo Ziyan, so they sought psychological comfort through filming.

The majority of backup guys and lickers felt the same way, and suddenly felt that he was not as great as they had imagined.

On the other hand, female fans imagine that Fan Wumian is loyal, affectionate and persistent. They are obsessed with his domineering and talented personality, and at the same time, they advise him to give up on Zuo Ziyan as soon as possible.

Another fan mentioned that he wanted to hold him in his arms and comfort him, and a comment was posted below, saying: "Are you not afraid that the hard bed board will hit his head?"

This screenshot of the joke about the "airport" has been popular on the Internet for several months and is often released and mentioned repeatedly by comedy bloggers.

The two met in a small conference room first.

At this moment, Fan Wumian pushed the computer to Zuo Ziyan and said, "My image is completely ruined. My reputation has been ruined in your hands."

Zuo Ziyan looked through the comments section and said with a smile:

"It's obviously me who got caught in your hands. These netizens know nothing about our relationship. Do you think they would be pissed to death if they were to reveal that we've been secretly in a relationship for so long?"

"I'm afraid a group of people will chase and hack me across eight streets."

Putting aside other things, after staying in the hotel for a week, busy rehearsing during the day and working overtime at night, Fan Wumian's waist was almost broken.

As a virgin, Pu Jiajing called the hotel front desk in the middle of the night a few days ago and asked for three boxes of "umbrellas". Until now, she still remembers the waiter's strange expression and the reminder that the room could only accommodate two people at most.

What he meant was simply that he was worried that someone would hold a "large-scale carnival party" in the room.

This made Pu Jiajing feel socially frustrated. She privately thought that they should just buy the goods by the box, so that she wouldn't have to help buy them all the time.

The happiness was enjoyed by Zuo Ziyan and Fan Wumian, but the bill was put under her room number. Anyone would be speechless if this happened to them.

As a celebrity's personal assistant, you often need to do trivial things that your employer is not convenient to do in person. The downside is that some private matters are embarrassing, but the upside is that you will be paid enough hush money and the salary is very high.

As a result, many little secrets were revealed, which Pu Jiajing clearly didn't want to know, but she had to deal with them anyway.

For example, the night before yesterday, Fan Wumian and Zuo Ziyan watched a movie called "Boiling Point", which was bought by Pu Jiajing. Until now, she still doesn't know why the two of them had nothing to do so late at night and watched this R-rated movie starring Jennifer Connelly when she was 19 years old.

Just looking at the definition of "R-rated" in Hollywood, audiences under the age of 17 are required to be accompanied by their parents or adults, which is enough to make Pu Jiajing imagine.

The reason why she took Zuo Ziyan to watch "Full Screen" was mainly because she always felt that Jennifer Connelly was a big Hollywood star, and she felt a little restrained when rehearsing in front of Jennifer.

After watching this slow-paced movie with only ten seconds of highlights focused solely on Jennifer Connelly, Zuo Ziyan's psychological barriers instantly disappeared, and she began to feel inferior in other aspects.

During the conversation.

Jennifer Connelly brought two more cups of coffee, came to the small conference room to find them, sat next to Zuo Ziyan and said:

"They are all iced Americano without milk or sugar. You actually like to drink this. It tastes a bit bitter."

Subconsciously glancing in front of her, Zuo Ziyan sighed that she could no longer look directly at Jennifer, and replied:
“When I was in Hong Kong, it seemed that most people were not used to adding sugar and milk, and some people even liked to drink the bitterest espresso.”

Jennifer Connelly envied Zuo Ziyan's youth and her skin, which was so delicate that it seemed to have no pores. She lowered her head slightly, sniffed, and asked in a low voice:

"Are all Asian women like you? You don't have any body odor. You don't seem to need any deodorant or perfume."

After six or seven days of getting along, they have become familiar with each other. If it was when they just met, Jennifer Connelly would not ask such a question.

Fan Wumian lowered his head to read the script and pretended not to hear.

Zuo Ziyan lowered her voice and replied:
"Indeed, there isn't. It may be because there was a lack of demand. Few people in ancient Asia specialized in research and development, so European perfumes are more famous. White people have three-dimensional facial features, and black people have long legs. They each have their own advantages."

Jennifer Connelly only treated Zuo Ziyan as a junior, and smiled when she heard this:

"I don't seem to see any disadvantages in you. You are so beautiful."

Complimenting each other is the easiest way to bring women closer together. If they also chat about some gossip and secretly gossip about each other, they can quickly become close sisters.

Hearing Zuo Ziyan mention the ancient times accidentally awakened some of Fan Wumian's memories, and he interrupted and said:
"After I acquired Valentino, I am busy designing a new product line. Do you think it would be more attractive if I borrowed some patterns and designs of women's bags and clothes from some ancient Chinese paintings?"

He vaguely remembered seeing a related short video, which introduced some bag designs similar to those of modern big brands. The aesthetic taste of our ancestors is still very reliable.

Jennifer Connelly turned her head and looked at Fan Wumian:
"I think this is a great idea. The fashion industry has already reached a bottleneck. Introducing some Chinese elements may make it a popular hit and more distinctive."

The first thing Zuo Ziyan thought of was the common elements in movies and TV dramas such as bundles, bamboo baskets, and book boxes. She was surprised:

"Are you sure? That's a bit risky, isn't it?"

"There are countless materials to draw on. If you look through them, you can always pick out some beautiful ones, like the horse-faced skirt, which should look very stylish on you. There is a Tang Dynasty pipa from the island country, and the pattern on it is very similar to the old flower pattern of LV."

Fan Wumian is not an expert in this area, and for now he only has an idea. He needs to send someone to study it carefully.

He then added:
"Some patterns on early bronze wares are also suitable for printing on leather bags, such as cloud-thunder patterns, animal-face patterns, and intertwined dragon patterns, which can make Valentino's products more distinctive."

Zuo Ziyan had no knowledge of these things, so she asked curiously:

"What does the animal face pattern look like, like the bronze mask from Sanxingdui?"

".Good idea. The bronze mask style of Sanxingdui is really suitable for printing on leather bags. It is eye-catching and distinctive."

Fan Wumian was afraid of forgetting, so he quickly sent a message to the company's executives, asking them to hurry up and research this aspect.

As an outsider, he believed that it would be difficult for Valentino to compete with brands such as LV, Dior, Chanel, Hermès, etc. in the European and American markets, so he decisively placed the initial development focus on Asia.

Properly adding some local characteristic elements will help to quickly open up the market
