Chapter 169 A Great Director's Good News, Xia Xue Speaks Out~
"Fine!"

You have money, so you can do whatever you want.

How much money do I need to open a shop?
Mr. Mi went straight to the point, buying a detached house and setting up a private store.

A secluded haven, a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.

It does not operate openly to the public; it operates on a membership referral system.

It's just a small gathering place for a select few.
However, when women get together, they either eat and drink, gossip, or do beauty treatments, so this gathering place turned into a beauty salon.

Milan: "I need to take good care of myself, lest I fall behind these younger girls!"

Summer: "Heaven and earth bear witness! There was no little girl who came later!"

Milan: "And what about Ms. Liu Xiaoli, the dancer? Her figure and charm are so captivating! Oh, and I just met Li Dabai, he's also very good. He's a dancer too, big and fair-skinned, with a very flexible body, and he's really fun to be around. Do you want him? Old Xia, just say the word!"

Summer: "Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Speaking of which, back in 89, Shanghai, known as an international metropolis, was the first city in China to open a "beauty salon".

Milan is carefree about other things, and doesn't care much about her career, but she pays great attention to her personal care.

Her only worry was that in twenty or thirty years, she would be old, but Xia Tian would still be young.

Get closer to them, it's uncomfortable for them!
If I don't join, I definitely won't be able to resist!
Therefore, you should start taking care of your skin when you're young!
She really put in a lot of hard work. She had been doing dance and yoga for many years, and except for the few months when she was pregnant, she basically never stopped, rain or shine!
Ordinary people don't have that kind of perseverance!

This Pearl Salon is one of the few businesses she has devoted much attention to.

I never imagined that my original intention was to serve myself, my family, and those slutty friends.

But as more and more friends joined, and the word spread, it grew bigger and bigger, and became more and more professional...

Twenty years later, it has become a must-visit spot for socialites!
……

In the blink of an eye, it was May 22th.

The TV presenter reported: Starting in May, a five-day work week will be implemented nationwide. Next week is another long week, which means that for many people, today is their last Saturday workday…

Milan: "The host is quite pretty!"

Xiao Xu pouted: "Can't you focus on something more important!"

Milan: "What are you focusing on?"

"Follow me for the two-day weekend!"

Milan: She believed it! She believed it!
Mr. Mi put his hands on his hips and said, "Whether we work on Saturdays or not is up to me, the boss!"

Xiao Xu was furious: "How could you do this?"

Milan laughed heartily: "I can't help it, after all, I've been reading 'Das Kapital' for a long time. Wahahahaha~~~"

Xiao Xu was so angry~
But Zhang Li was secretly laughing to herself, as she understood Milan's thoughts quite well.

The two-day weekend is a matter of opinion; some see it as a time of rest, others as a time of iniquity.
The so-called "big week" and "small week" refer to a two-day weekend (Saturday and Sunday off) and a one-day weekend (Sunday off).

Previously, there were alternating days off and weekends off. Starting in May, a two-day weekend system was officially implemented, commonly known as the "big weekend" (two days off per week)!

However, please note that the regulations only apply to entities such as XX and XX, and there are no legal provisions for private enterprises.

Therefore, even if your company does not rest on Saturdays, the company's management rules and regulations do not violate any laws or regulations.

It is said that this was a condition for our WTO accession negotiations with the United States in 94.

At that time, we didn't have a two-day weekend. The United States, citing the issue of violence, demanded that workers have a two-day weekend.

This……

This must be a conspiracy by American imperialism!

Look, we can't even keep one day off a week anymore!

Americans are so mean!
Decepticon Taijun, quick, this way!
This way~
……

May has arrived.

"Don't move, lie down properly, you'll get oil everywhere!"

"Are you even capable of this?" Xia Tian questioned Boss Mi's cooking skills.

"Why not! I'm absolutely amazing!"

Mr. Mi learned massage techniques from a female technician at his own Pearl Salon, and now he's going to let Xia Tian try them out!

"I'll let you try it too~"

Milan sat on Xia Tian's back, fiddling with something in her hands, and saying, "Don't move~ the brush will apply the oil more evenly!"

Summer was taken aback. She turned around and saw this spendthrift woman applying rose essential oil to her back with a brush!
"Are you treating me like a piece of roast meat?!"

……

There was a phone call from Chang'an, looking for Xia Tian.

"From Xi'an Film Studio." Xiao Xu covered the receiver and handed the phone to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian answered: "Hello, this is Xia Tian."

"Ah, Director Zhang! Oh? Sure! Hey, it's no big deal... Hmm, okay, have them call me!"

The deputy director of Xi'an Film Studio called Xia Tian to discuss the matter, saying that the publicity team had called to inquire about the movie "A Chinese Odyssey".

He said he sold it to Xia Tian.

It seems they want to broadcast it on TV...

Summer knew about this; it was from CCTV's movie channel, commonly known as "Princess Six."
Preparations are underway, with a planned trial broadcast in July.

So, they want to buy the television broadcasting rights.

Of course, the price will be very low.

They're already being generous by making a phone call and asking for money.

Later, many people realized that the Sixth Princess was really powerful; she could broadcast programs at will and easily slap people in the face!
All other channels on CCTV belong to the Guangding Department, but the full name of CCTV's Sixth Princess is the Zhongxuan Film Satellite Channel!
The people who broadcast movie programs have their own unique temperament. They often have the courage to offend people and arbitrarily change the program schedule. Not only have they never caused any trouble, but they are sometimes even supported by CCTV, like a protected little daughter.

Her official Bilibili account signature is "Hmph," and her official Weibo account is female, so netizens call her "The Arrogant Sixth Princess."
Now that the Sixth Princess has her eye on several films that Xia Tian has, naturally—she'll give them to her!
They were hoping to boost the popularity of "A Chinese Odyssey" through the Sixth Princess!
These days, besides movie theaters, the only other way to watch movies is on DVD.

However, VCDs were not that widely used.

But if Princess Six airs, things will be different!

Good news~
Oh right, speaking of "A Chinese Odyssey," something came to mind this summer.

Wasn't it the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony held in Hong Kong before?

He won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor, and the domestic print media even raved about it.

However, Stephen Chow and Jeffrey Lau, who made "A Chinese Odyssey," never recovered.

Stephen Chow planned to immigrate to the University of Massachusetts, but someone exposed his dirty secrets, and he was denied admission.

Liu Zhenwei became even more depressed.

He didn't win any awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but he did win the Best Screenplay award at the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards for "A Chinese Odyssey"!

What's even more significant is that this is the only film award Liu Zhenwei has received to date.
Oh, right.

I heard that he was so disheartened that he lost his only trophy while riding in a car.
Now it's all gone~
……

Milan learned some "important" news and hurriedly told Summer.

Summer: "Is that all?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, got it."

The "important" news that Mr. Mi mentioned is that Director Chen has finally started filming the movie "Temptress Moon"!
They initially boasted that they would surpass "Farewell My Concubine," but it took them a full three years to prepare!

Filming has finally started!

Oh, by the way, the photographer was Du Kefeng, a foreigner from Hong Kong. The two of them had amazing chemistry!
That dashing man, so striking, so outstanding—your melancholic eyes, your stubble, your incredible photography skills, and those distinctive Caucasian features...
Everything perfectly matches Director Chen's preferences~
I won't post any pictures; I probably won't be able to.

It is said that during the casting for "Temptress Moon", the original female lead was replaced, and Chen Hong, who played Diao Chan, was invited to try out the costume.

It was Director Teng who introduced the two of them.
Last November, when Director Chen's father passed away, Chen Hong sent a flower basket to express her condolences and stayed at his home for a while.

Although he wasn't chosen as the female lead in this film, the two quickly established a romantic relationship.

The original timeline is set in 96 when the two registered their marriage in the United States. It is said that at that time, he used his son to influence the director and squeezed out Sister Ni!

Oh, by the way, the officiant was none other than Director Teng, who introduced the two of them...

The story of how Diao Chan and Director Teng met begins with the movie "In That Faraway Place"...

Okay then! Let me tell you a story:

A boss kept a mistress, got tired of her, but couldn't get rid of her.

Then I came up with an idea: pay for her to study for an MBA in business administration!

Sure enough, the mistress soon met another new big boss, and thus smoothly sold the goods without spending a penny.
Xia Tian felt that the two directors' actions conveyed a sense of orderly inheritance within the antique industry!

……

However, Xia Tian soon had no time to deal with Director Chen's affairs.

Because Xia Xue, the six-month-old baby girl, actually started talking!

Xia Xue spoke, and the first word she uttered was: "Vote!"

"It's the last day of the double reward period at the end of the month, so cast your monthly votes now or they'll be forfeited!"
