I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 422 Youth is like flowing water, once gone, it never returns (4411)

Switching from the cold Elbery back to Haixi in late summer, Fang Yu heard the sparse chirping of cicadas outside the window and realized that the summer vacation was over and school had started.

It turns out that I am already a junior at the top of the university food chain.

You said senior year is the last year?
Who cares about those prepared skeletons who haven't even found a job yet.

Seniors who are troubled by postgraduate entrance exams, civil service exams, and job hunting may not realize that their youth is over.

Of course, for those who have been playing games for two years and are now about to be expelled from school because they failed a subject, their youth has actually never begun.

Time flies so fast.

Twenty-one-year-old Fang Yu actually has a feeling that her youth is gone.

People cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time. How can you, who are clearly in the prime of youth, have the feelings of an old man in his thirties or forties?

It seems that I am doing too much work now, my career is too big, I have spread my business too thin, and I have entered society too early.

I really want to be an ordinary, stupid college student.

I went to the playground to see the swinging ponytails and flying skirts, and deliberately threw the basketball in front of the girl with a peach-like face, and said to her with sweat on my forehead: "Classmate, throw the ball over here."

What a beautiful scene of youth.

Now? I can only pull my twin ponytails, stroke the hem of my pink nurse uniform, pat my red peaches, and listen to Da Mimi, who is sweating profusely, saying that it's lost.

Youth is like running water, once gone it never comes back.

It’s not just youth that flows with the water.

There are also female stars.

Da Mimi tilted her neck back and let out a silent cry like a swan with its feet held.

Fang Yu was kind enough to carry Da Mimi to the sofa, but after a look, he realized that the sofa was also wet, so he simply carried Da Mimi to the bathroom and snapped his fingers. A full tub of 37-degree hot water appeared in the round Laufen bathtub.

There are also some peach petals floating on it.

Da Mimi hadn't come to her senses yet and didn't see it at all.

Fang Yu did not get into the bathtub. After taking a quick shower, he wrapped a bath towel around his waist, took out a bottle of Michelob from the refrigerator, popped open the cap, and gulped down two gulps.

What kind of low-calorie beer is this? It's so damn unpalatable. I'm never buying it again.

"Weren't you in Xiangzhou filming that military training variety show? Why are you back again? Is there something wrong with your three lives, three worlds of luck in love?"

"What's the meaning of Three Lives Three Worlds of Peach Blossom Luck? It's Three Lives Three Worlds of Thousand Miles of Peach Blossoms. The premiere has already been sold out. Yuezhou Satellite TV and Haipu Satellite TV have chosen the winter vacation slot, which happens to be when students have just finished their final exams."

Da Mimi lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed: "Tomorrow night is the Bazaar Charity Night. Didn't I tell you on WeChat last week? You didn't reply to me either."

Fang Yu thought to himself that at that time I was busy corrupting the Holy Council of the Temple of Light, so I had no time to care about your itinerary.

But you can definitely go to the Bazaar Charity Night. There are hundreds of stars, and it’s a bit like the MET Gala this week. It’s a good opportunity to harvest a wave of desire and faith.

There is no need to use arcane magic this time. I will ask the public relations department to communicate with Harper's Bazaar and request a VIP.

After reaching level seven, the growth of mental strength suddenly slowed down, and the mental strength accumulation required was more than three times that before level seven.

According to the "visualization program" that Fang Yu compiled in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, it has been almost two months, and the progress bar for upgrading to level 8 has only reached 40%.

After all, after so many times of "refining essence into energy", Da Mimi's recovery ability is much better than before. It didn't take long for her to recover and she started kicking water with her feet. She was obviously in a good mood.

"Then why are you coming to me instead of going back to Xinhao to try on the dress?" Fang Yu threw Michelangelo into the trash can and took another bottle of Budweiser.

Da Mimi threw a coquettish glance and said, "I've gotten a little tanned these past two days, so I'm looking for a booster shot from you to consolidate my tan."

The standing position diagram for the opening photo was already sent over by Harper's Bazaar. This is my first time participating and I was assigned to the C position, but next to me is Liu Feifei. In recent years, all the female celebrities who took photos with her were badly criticized, so I can't be outdone by her.

If she were in the same state as before, she would definitely be said to look like Liu Feifei's maid again.

Now...miamiamia, after the booster shot, it’s at least 50-50!

Repa will also attend tomorrow's Harper's Bazaar Charity Night, and will also take part in the opening photo shoot, but because of her lower status, she will stand to the side.

But this is already good. If Jiaxing had not become a joint venture partner of CAA Da Zhou, Da Mimi's status in the circle would have risen sharply. With Repa's current status, she would definitely not be able to make it to the opening group photo this time.

Maybe there isn't even any official footage.

Unlike Repa who is still confused and doesn't understand the situation, Da Mimi is very smart. Based on the recent changes in herself and Repa, she has already discovered the reason for their changes in status.

She had previously tried to find out whether Fang Yu had mastered some kind of double-rest technique from online novels, otherwise how could there be one change at a time?
The positive energy variety show she recorded this time was particularly tiring. Even One Punch Man Jinfu and swimming greats could hardly hold on. But she found that although she was also tired, she could still hold on.

With the temperature over 40 degrees and the high-intensity exercise, the three girls next to her were almost fainting, and the clothes of several boys were so wet that water could be wrung out. However, her forehead was just a little damp, and she basically didn't sweat much.

This is not consistent with the character she has given herself. She knows better how to be popular with the audience. Seeing that Tong Yaya couldn't even do a single push-up, she pretended to be exhausted and did three.

Later she tried it secretly herself. It’s hard to say if she could do more, but fifty push-ups in two minutes should not be a problem.

In the past, even five would have been enough for Da Mimi, let alone fifty.

In fact, most girls who don’t have the habit of exercising can only do five push-ups, and it’s definitely not standard.

Fifty push-ups, even according to the physical fitness test standards for women aged 18-25 in Miami, far exceeds the "excellent" standard of 30+.

But for the sake of her own character, Da Mimi still pretended to be delicate but desperate throughout the entire episode.

But on the last day of recording this episode, she accidentally let something slip.

It was a real-life combat exercise, a real-life CS game. She, several female stars, and an instructor whom she called Xiao Weiwei were defending in the fortifications, while the male stars were attacking.

When the battle was in full swing, Tong Yaya was not paying attention, and the great white shark of the swimming world made a tactical detour, directly surrounded them from behind, rushed into the fortifications, and wanted to catch them in the trap.

No matter how real this variety show looks, it is scripted, and the script is that Da Mimi and her team win. The action of the great white shark was completely unexpected by everyone, and the instructor was entangled by several other attack points and had no time to return to defense. Seeing that these female stars were about to be wiped out, they had to reshoot this scene.

As a result, in a hurry, Da Mimi hugged one of the great white shark's arms as if by reflex, and with her body suspended in the air, she clamped her legs together and gave the great white shark a cross lock.

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and even the photographer almost dropped his camera.

Great White Shark felt a little embarrassed at the time, but he didn't say anything. However, that night, he withdrew from the recording on the grounds of feeling unwell and straining his arm muscles.

If Da Mimi herself can't react to such a big change, she would be a bit too slow.

But after testing Fang Yu several times, Fang Yu just laughed it off, so Da Mimi stopped asking.

Why ask so many questions? Just accept it if there are benefits.

Is this also the reason why the Queen of the Kingdom of Women insisted on keeping Tang Monk?
Eating a bite of Tang Monk's meat can make you immortal.

Meat can only be eaten once, but one drop of meat is worth ten drops of blood. The King of the Kingdom of Women is worthy of being the ruler of a country and knows the importance of sustainable development.

Either Fang Yu really knew the martial arts from the online novel, or he had the same special physique as Tang Seng. If he had a special physique, he would have drunk several hundred milliliters of Tang Seng's blood.

The next day, just after dawn, Da Mimi came out of Hanning Mansion with a moist face and caught the earliest high-speed train back to Xinhao.

Trying on dresses, doing makeup, taking photos in advance...the event is in the evening, but all preparations basically have to start in the morning.

As a boss, Da Mimi has more things to worry about.

Moreover, after the joint venture with CAA, she has now decided to spend two to three years transitioning behind the scenes and bringing out her artists.

Reba is the best player in the company besides her, and now they are in the same boat... No, they are in a relationship of sharing weal and woe, so it is natural that she is the first target for training.

“Sister Mi, it’s not a good idea to donate 70 yuan directly in my name. Jiaxing donated anonymously, and it’s only 200 million yuan...a newcomer like me…” Reba pursed her lipstick a little nervously and subconsciously covered her chest.

You have to say, the neckline of Lorraine Noven's golden haute couture dress is indeed a bit big.

She originally had a dark complexion, but after the improvement of her life essence through "refining essence into qi", her skin became even more fair and smooth, and she had an inner glow.

Coupled with the flaming red lips, you can tell at a glance that she is trying to outshine the rest of the crowd. Da Mimi didn't even let Repa give her makeup.

"If you are asked to donate, then donate. Why is it not good to donate so much?"

Da Mimi stared at the mirror and worked with the stylist to do her hair, and said impatiently.

Da Mimi thought to herself, you know nothing. Do you think anyone can donate as much as they want?

The reason why I ask you to donate 700,000 yuan is because you are now in your rising period. It is worth spending 700,000 yuan to buy this exposure. Normally, buying a hot search will cost more than this price.

Why donate 700,000 instead of 1 million? Because the organizer, Harper's Bazaar, donated 700,000, which is equivalent to a threshold. Unqualified companies cannot exceed this threshold, understand?

Only bigwigs or investors in the industry are qualified to cross this line.

This is not something I could accomplish just because I have a good relationship with that old woman Su Meng.

Harper's Bazaar accepted a 2 million donation from Jiaxing without saying anything, which is a re-recognition of Jiaxing's status in this circle!

The same goes for celebrities. It is not up to you to decide how much to donate. You can choose not to donate, but if you insist on donating millions just because you have a lot of money, you might end up with a lot of negative articles about yourself.

Do you deserve this limelight?

No one will think well of you even if you donate too much to this kind of charity, unless you are a newcomer like you who is desperately trying to attract traffic. Otherwise, it is best to just follow the crowd.

If I donate two million or Jiaxing donates two million, it will be considered as the right thing to do in the eyes of outsiders. If we don't do it anonymously, at most we will be put on the donation list, but we won't win a penny of reputation. Instead, the leading bird will be shot at, and we may be targeted by someone, and if something happens, we will have to do the public relations.

It’s different when a company donates anonymously. When it encounters a scandal that requires public relations, or when it needs to establish its image, it can gain more bargaining chips by exposing the anonymous donations in the form of revelations.

As soon as Da Mimi entered the venue, she once again personally experienced the entertainment industry's practice of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.

Although she had experienced this countless times, this time, the contrast was the most striking.

Several big directors who had never looked at her seriously before, took the initiative to chat with her this time, and even hinted in words that they hoped to work with her.

And Su Meng, with whom she had always carefully maintained her relationship, smiled like a flower when she saw her.

"Mi Mi, wow, this dress is so beautiful, and you are even prettier. Your military training variety show hasn't started recording yet, right? Has it started? Is that true? How come you haven't gotten tanned at all? I think Wang Lang has gotten two shades darker."

Da Mimi and Su Meng chatted for a while, and then they were surrounded by several bigwigs in the circle.

Su Meng turned around and curled her lips. She had a good relationship with Da Mimi, but that didn't mean she could tolerate Da Mimi's dominance.

"What's so great about that? You never know when you'll be dumped."

Su Meng couldn't help but sneer.

"Sister Meng, this event is really well organized. This year's donations will definitely set a record."

Just as Su Meng put away her sneer, she saw a woman who was still charming but actually older than her coming over with a glass of wine and clinking glasses with her.

Liu Mingmei? Liu Feifei's mother? What was she doing here? You didn't have much contact with her before, right?
Why is Liu Feifei behind her so cold? Who is she showing her disdain to?
Oh, yes, it must be because of Da Mimi.

Before this, Liu Feifei had always been superior to Da Mimi. This time, Da Mimi has come ashore and become a capital. The level is different now. It would be strange if Liu Feifei was happy.

"Thank you, Sister Meng, for taking care of Feifei over the years." Mother Liu took the initiative to clink glasses with Su Meng with a gentle smile.

Liu's mother probably bought Wangshu Tears. When she smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became less and she looked a lot younger.

At this Harper's Bazaar Charity Night, many female stars' looks have been elevated to a higher level. It is estimated that the workload of photo retouchers will be greatly reduced after the event.

"I should thank Feifei for supporting our activities over the years, Sister Liu." Su Meng smiled very professionally.

Mother Liu pretended to be worried and sighed: "Fei Fei is good in every way, but she is too honest and doesn't take the initiative to fight for resources. If it weren't for your continuous support, I don't know how she would be bullied."

Su Meng frowned. What does that mean?
Mother Liu pleaded, "Sister Meng, I know it's not appropriate to tell you this at this time, but I really can't help it. Feifei really doesn't want to sit at this table today. You also know what happened recently, so we want to..."

Su Meng rolled her eyes in her heart. As expected.

The table Liu Feifei sat at today was not as prestigious as the table occupied by Da Mimi. She was probably unhappy about it again.

But Da Mimi now has capital and overseas resources, why are you not happy?

Besides, the company your daughter signed with, Endeavor, has gone bankrupt. Why don’t you take this opportunity to ease relations with Da Mimi and re-sign with CAA? What are you waiting for?

You still want to keep Ti Ka and Da Mi Mi out of the spotlight at this time? Have you lost your mind?

Su Meng waved her hands quickly: "Sister Liu, this won't work. Look, who should I replace at the two tables in the middle? No one can be replaced."

Mother Liu quickly grabbed Su Meng's hand and said, "Oh, Sister Meng, you misunderstood. I don't want Feifei to move to the first two tables. I mean, can Feifei be moved to table 27?"

27 tables?
Why are there people changing to the back? Are Liu Feifei and her daughter crazy?

There's no camera over there, right?
and many more.

Su Meng's mind moved, and she suddenly remembered the call she received in the morning, and looked at the seat map in her hand.

It turned out to be the case.

Behind table 27 are the VIP seats that are not in the photo.

The closest is...

Haha, sure enough.

This woman is really path dependent.

Su Meng calmly put away the seating chart and gave Liu's mother a meaningful smile: "Since Feifei wants to keep a low profile and pursue long-term development, I have no problem with that and am willing to support her. But if you want to change your seat back later, it may be... There is no turning back after you start working, so Sister Liu, you have to think it over carefully."

When Liu's mother heard that Su Meng agreed to change seats, she couldn't help but lick her lips nervously: "Think it over, change it."
