Chapter 653 Buyout Exclusive
Xiaoyun opened her mouth and wanted to ask on behalf of Chen Li, "Can the size of the dress be slightly changed?", but faced with Sui Lai's powerful aura, she opened her mouth and swallowed the words back.
She was afraid that she would say something wrong and offend such a big shot. It didn't matter to her, but she was afraid of getting Ali into trouble.
Even Sister Kuan hesitated for a moment before trying to speak: "Can the size of this dress be altered?"
"Sister Kuan?" Sui Lai looked displeased. Even though the other party was a top agent in the industry, she didn't give him any face. She said bluntly, "You should know me. The clothes I design are all cut to the most exquisite patterns according to the size. The slightest change will ruin the whole dress. I am doing this for her own good. The red carpet is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, especially in this era of the Internet and public judgment."
As he spoke, Sui Lai looked at Chen Li, examined her for a moment, and raised the corners of his lips with a hint of meaning: “Your face is good enough, but if you can’t wear it effectively, this dress will be a waste.”
"You can wear it, teacher!" Chen Li heard this and quickly assured: "I can lose weight. There is still half a month left. I will definitely be able to squeeze myself in."
"That's right. Artists need to be ambitious and not just focus on comfort. In the fashion industry, the more uncomfortable the pose, the more popular it is. This is an eternal truth!"
Although Sui Lai is a proud person, he attaches great importance to his work and the final presentation effect.
Chen Li was indeed of no importance in her eyes, but clothes were what she valued most. She was straightforward, but every word she said was true and based on experience.
Instead of feeling offended by what she heard, Chen Li felt that she had learned something.
After Sui Lai and her team left, Sister Kuan came up to comfort Chen Li: "She has such a temper. People in the industry know it. Your sister spent a lot of money to buy out her exclusive rights to the Golden Magpie Awards. Only you can wear her clothes. Just bear with it for a while."
"My sister?"
Chen Ci's identity had been revealed to Shen Li, so Sister Kuan didn't hide it any further and nodded. "Well, this is the first mainstream award you've been nominated for, and it's also your first major red carpet appearance since your debut. I originally tried it out for you, but you weren't famous enough, so Sui Lai's team turned it down without a second thought. Later, I told your sister about it, and she was the one who invited them."
"She didn't tell me." Chen Li was moved. Sister Kuan couldn't even invite this person, so her sister must have spent a lot of money.
"So we just need to put up with her bad temper. What's most important is that we can achieve the desired effect in the end." Sister Kuan patted Ah Li's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this these past few days. Eat less and exercise more."
Shen Li nodded in understanding.
Coming out of the conference room, a white figure suddenly jumped out from the side, scaring Chen Li.
After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother Bo, you scared me to death!"
"Hey, little Ali, how was the try?"
Ali curled her lips and shook her head: "I'm fat, I can't wear it, I need to lose weight."
Bo Ge looked at Ah Li in confusion. "Where are you fat? But Sui Lai's clothes are worth your effort. You will definitely amaze everyone when you wear them."
Chen Li smiled, looked at Bo Ge and asked, "I helped you promote a few people to the crew that my sister invested in. How was it? Was it effective?"
"Yes, yes. That's why I wanted to thank you in person." Bo Ge made a fist with a look of gratitude. "It really gave me a lot of money back. Regardless of the size of the role, at least the people I have are joining the team. This is a good sign. As for whether there will be any improvement in the future, it really depends on their own luck. But you gave me the opportunity. I told them everything. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, Bo. I told you, you're a very good agent. I'm willing to help you."
"By the way, has Tan Yue's contract been completed?" Chen Li asked again.
Bo Ge smiled and said, "It's over. He's on his own, without an agency or agent, so the formalities aren't complicated at all. He's now my artist. Furthermore, I helped him secure a deal for the company. Director Li An obtained this film on his own before joining the company, so the company won't take any cut of the pay; it's all his."
Chen Li showed an expression of "I knew it" when she heard this: "I guessed you would do this, and sure enough."
"Of course I should. I will definitely take good care of the friend you introduced me to. Paying attention to him is also a disguised way of thanking you."
"I'm sure Bo Ge is familiar with his situation. He has several years of experience as an extra, so he's not unfamiliar with the industry. He knows more than I did when I first entered. I hope Bo Ge can help him achieve some real results. I can't guarantee anything else, but Tan Yue is definitely serious about acting, otherwise he wouldn't have spent almost all of his first earnings on acting lessons. And being chosen by Director Li An is enough to prove that he has good qualifications."
"I know all about this, don't worry. Ah Li, can you spare some time these days? I'll treat you to a drink."
"Drinking?" Chen Li reminded with a look of resistance: "Didn't you find out about alcoholic liver disease?"
Bo Ge quickly clapped his hands and chuckled, "That's just a slip of the tongue. I meant to treat you to a meal."
"Forget about eating. I want to lose weight. I'll have a chance later."
"Yes, losing weight is important."
At this time, Xiaoyun came out, holding the dress in her hands: "Ali, Sister Kuan told you to take the dress home. It's not safe to leave it at the company where there are too many people around."
Chen Li nodded, said goodbye to Bo Ge, and walked out of the company with Xiaoyun.
Everyone in the company subconsciously looked at her and saluted, and the discussion did not begin until Chen Li walked away.
"Ari is really going strong. She's already wearing Sui Lai's couture?"
"Sister Kuan is really awesome. Chu He only wore it once, right? And it was when she won the Best Actress award, which was a double highlight in her life."
"It may not be Sister Kuan who invited them. People in the fashion industry are very powerful. I think it was Chen Li's sister who took action."
"I also think that if you want Chen Li to wear Sui Lai's haute couture, you have to spend a lot of money."
"No matter who it is, Ali is definitely the winner this time. Just wait and see how crazy those fans of the popular actresses will be."
When it comes to losing weight, Chen Li is very clear about it. Sister Kuan asked a diet expert to customize a diet for her. Chen Li posted the diet on the refrigerator and her door at home to remind herself at all times.
And that night I ran ten kilometers on an empty stomach.
At the same time, betting and gambling on the various awards of this year's "Golden Magpie Awards" are also following the development of current events online.
Among them, the odds for the two nominations for "Best Newcomer" and "Best Supporting Actress" for Chen Li are at two extremes.
