The so-called "care" is very simple: just put a flower in the model's hair, pin it, put a bow on it, and prepare a plate of grapes for the model to hold.
These days, fashion trends are pretty much the same; if you want that hot and sexy look like in Hong Kong, you really can't find anything like it.
Chu Yu had no intention of catering to anyone's aesthetics. The calendar girls of the 1980s became an instant hit, and the calendars sold like hotcakes, which proved that people had aesthetic needs.
Everyone likes to look at sexy, sunny, and beautiful young women, and there's a reason why many paintings have been hanging for many years.
Black round hats, flower wreaths, necklaces, earrings, berets and other accessories should be prepared.
The venue will include a lawn, swimming pool, garden, and indoor area, with props such as motorcycles, a tape recorder, and outdoor tables and chairs.
These days, there's no such thing as a reflector when taking photos, but Chu Yu knows the importance of lighting. She asked Chen Zhuyu to find some silver reflective objects, hoping to find something suitable.
The calendar girls' hairstyles were handled by hairdressers.
Fang Fang, Qiu Meizhen, Tao Aiai, Chen Yun, and the other models selected by Chu Yu, a total of 12 people, were all found on the "Finding Emily" list, and most of them had participated in the last model show.
Fang Fang wanted to come last time, but her boyfriend was unhappy and made a face, threatening her that if she dared to participate in the model show, they would break up immediately.
Fang Fang's boyfriend is a local from Deyang and looks down on her rural household registration. Her future mother-in-law even mocked her for her strong rural accent, saying she was not presentable.
Fang Fang wasn't unwilling to resist, but her family lived in the countryside. She had five siblings, and her parents and relatives were all farmers who made a living from the land, unlike her boyfriend's working-class family.
Fang Fang had been accommodating and tolerant in everything. Three days ago, a male leader from Fang Fang's factory called her to his office. Before Fang Fang could even stand up straight, he started harassing her. The leader's groping hands disgusted Fang Fang, and she sought protection from her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend, however, told her to be patient and not to anger the male boss, as it would affect his promotion.
Fang Fang saw through this weak and selfish man, wrote a letter of complaint to her superiors, and then broke up with her boyfriend.
Just then, Shen Zhuyu contacted her and asked if she would be willing to be a calendar model.
When calendar models are required to wear sexy and hot clothes, or even swimsuits, Fang Fang hesitated, but she knew it was a great opportunity to become famous. She wrote a letter to report the leaders, but the factory couldn't tolerate her. Even if a new leader came in, they wouldn't dare to hire an employee who would report the leaders.
If Fangfang were really kicked out of the factory, how would she make a living? She couldn't just go back to farming, could she? As a model, she could earn 20 yuan a day, which was equivalent to her monthly salary at the factory, and she could also take beautiful photos. It was a win-win situation.
She was very tempted, and after hesitating for a moment, she agreed.
"Boss Zhou," Fang Fang greeted Chu Yu.
Fang Fang has the best overall qualities among all the models. She is naturally elegant and has an indescribable charm.
Chu Yu even thought she could try being a movie actress.
Just call me Chu Yu.
"Chu Yu".
Chu Yu nodded. "I've arranged three outfits for you: a red off-shoulder dress, a black motorcycle outfit, and a yellow floral dress."
Of the three dresses, only the red one was off-the-shoulder with a large bow at the chest. The other two outfits were more conservative in design; although the designs were avant-garde, they were not revealing. Fang Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yu then arranged clothes for Qiu Meizhen, Tao Aiai, and the others.
In the 1980s, given people's prevailing views, Chu Yu didn't force them to accept swimsuit photos, but she did provide swimsuit models with a decent income.
Regular models earn 20 yuan a day, while swimsuit models earn 100 yuan a day.
In the early 1980s, it was impossible to find a job in China that paid 100 yuan a day. A normal model earned 2 yuan a day, a worker earned 1 yuan a day, and a rural family could only earn about 100 yuan a year. Chu Yu offered a high price because for most models, swimwear was a boundary they could not cross.
Several models hesitated. The price Chu Yu offered was tempting, but they couldn't stand the judgment of society. If their boyfriends found out they were shooting swimsuit calendars, they would definitely break up with them.
Parents also have to accept the strange looks from others.
Chu Yu didn't insist and took them to the hair salon.
This barbershop is the best in Deyang. The two barbers came from Shanghai and apprenticed under barbers in Gangcheng. There aren't many good barbers in Deyang, so regardless of whether their resumes are true or false, or whether they're exaggerating their skills, these two are quite skilled.
Nine of the twelve models wanted to get their hair permed, and three wanted to get it straightened. Students like Tao Aiai wanted to get their hair permed, but their families refused to pay for it. Chu Yu not only gave them a service fee of 20 yuan a day, but also covered the cost of the perm. Tao Aiai couldn't have been happier.
It's no easy task for two barbers to perm the hair of 12 people, but fortunately, there are 4 apprentices in the shop, and their schedules are staggered, so it's not too late.
At this point, it's all done with electric perms, using heated curling irons with metal clips. The clips hold the hair in place and heat it up. The whole process takes less than an hour, but wrapping the hair around the curling iron to create curls of different heights tests the hairdresser's skill.
The current trend is perm curls, which take a lot of time, keeping hairdressers sweating profusely.
A regular haircut costs 20 cents, a perm costs 2 yuan, and those with long hair pay an extra 50 cents. Chu Yu and his 12 friends spent a total of 26 yuan, which is equivalent to someone else's monthly salary.
The boss naturally took it seriously, politely declining other guests and focusing on serving them.
While they were getting their hair done, Chu Yu went back to the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop.
On rainy days when there are fewer people, Shu Hui took advantage of the lull in the crowd to steam buns and red bean paste buns, putting ten buns and four large steamed buns in a bamboo steamer cloth.
