After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 386 Congratulations
After everyone sat down, the manager asked Li Zhuo to order, Li Zhuo shook his head and said:
"Whatever you want, you can order. I have no taboos."

In the end, the manager watched and ordered dry-roasted large yellow croaker, brine foie gras, fried abalone with old onion, conger eel with caviar, crispy fried nine-belly fish, loofah sprouts in wood ginger oil, etc.

This dish is really good, definitely made by a skilled chef.

Dry-roasted large yellow croaker is a typical Shandong cuisine. It is sweet, sour, salty and spicy, and the fish is tender and fragrant.

The brine foie gras, the style of Chaoshan cuisine, melts in the mouth, and the black vinegar is very good. The finishing touch can neutralize the greasy foie gras, which is in line with the Chinese taste.

Stir-fried abalone with old scallions is also a Shandong cuisine recipe. The scallions are fragrant and the abalone is soft and tender, with a layered taste.

Conger eel with caviar, crispy on the outside, delicious filling on the inside, and soft in the mouth.

Crispy fried nine belly fish, crispy skin and smooth meat, very refreshing to eat.

Wood ginger oil loofah seedlings are crunchy, refreshing and greasy, and the cold dishes are amazing.

This restaurant belongs to the kind where every dish is delicious. Of course, the price is also high. The per capita private kitchen dish is more than 2000, and it has also been rated as one star of the Black Pearl.

Li Zhuo admired while eating:
"There are still delicacies in China, and the refined processing of food and the grasp of taste are not comparable to foreign countries."

Chen Duling asked at this time:
"Did you go abroad before? I noticed that you seem to be a little darker than the last time I met."

Li Zhuo said to her:

"Yes, I went to live in a foreign ranch for a few days. Hunting is quite interesting, but there are no vegetables there, and basically only roasting, and the domestic food is exquisite."

Chen Duling answered:

"Yes, the food here is really delicious. I also wanted to change the taste when I came back after eating box lunches for many days."

Li Zhuo asked curiously:
"As a star, don't you want to have a more refined box lunch when filming?"

Chen Duling nodded:

"Compared with the ordinary box lunch of the crew, it is indeed more refined, but when filming, I am under a lot of pressure and have no appetite. I eat to maintain my strength, and I don't care too much about the taste."

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"It's normal to have a lot of pressure, after all, the workload is there."

There is a saying that he didn't say, stars can easily earn tens of millions of dollars for a movie, which is something that ordinary people can only earn after working for a lifetime or even a few lifetimes, and it is only natural to work hard.

Chen Duling talked a little bit out of the way with Li Zhuo, and didn't follow the rules too much.

This was because Li Zhuo didn't feel like an industry insider to her, and his image was too different from those investors. In her feeling, Li Zhuo was more like a friend.

Li Zhuo asked her why she finally decided to go to filming instead of pursuing her profession - aviation.

Chen Duling smiled and said:
"Others will ask this question. In fact, I didn't intend to pursue an acting career at the beginning. After filming "Left Ear", I felt that I was not suitable and had no acting skills. I didn't plan to do this industry."

The agent touched her with his hand under the table, signaling her not to say that she has no acting skills.

Chen Duling didn't care, but smiled and said:

"That's true. I was still a student at the time, and I didn't come from a major. I didn't find filming interesting at that time, and I was so tired. The only thing that attracted me was that I could wear beautiful clothes and try different makeup."

The manager's smile was a little awkward, so he hurried to make amends:

"We, Du Ling, have been inviting teachers to teach acting in recent years. We also work hard at ordinary times, and our acting skills are getting better and better. One person can play the triangle very well. The director has been boasting."

Li Zhuo nodded and said:

"Indeed, judging from the TV series that have been filmed, Du Ling's acting skills are getting better and better."

The agent gave Chen Duling a wink and asked her to ask about Li Zhuo Wanxiang Entertainment's film and television drama project.

Chen Duling was still talking about his past and didn't mention it.

The agent was a little anxious, she couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Li, Duling's acting skills are fine. She is very professional and motivated, and she works hard during filming, and is not afraid of hardship. If you have a chance, please take care of her."

Li Zhuoen let out a cry, and replied:

"That's all good to say."

Chen Duling didn't want her agent to interrupt her thoughts all the time, so she asked her to arrange accommodation first.

The manager could only smile awkwardly and nod, and took the initiative to leave with the suitcase.

After she left, Chen Duling said:

"Actually, I still can't get used to the entertainment industry, I feel tired, maybe after many years, I still can't get used to it."

Li Zhuo understands her thoughts, acting itself requires a strong second personality, and it needs to be played from time to time. If you want to live a real life, then you can't get along in the entertainment industry.

he asked:
"So what was your idea of ​​entering the entertainment industry?"

Chen Duling smiled and said:
"If I'm telling the truth, don't look down on me."

"No, you didn't do something that harmed others and benefited yourself. Of course I won't judge you."

"Well, it's actually very simple. I weighed it after graduation. Being in the aviation industry basically determines my life.

Entering a related scientific research unit, engaged in research and development day after day, the salary can’t be said to be bad, but it can’t be called good either. When I graduated, the salary of ordinary employees was only 10 a year, and the salary was nothing. The key is that I was afraid of seeing it Looking forward to the life of the head. "

"But if I go to filming, even if I'm not good at it, then I can make enough money before the age of 35, and then I can do what I am interested in. It's like being reborn, and life will change. So colorful."

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"Understood, the day-to-day after financial freedom, to arrange their own life, this kind of life is thought of by everyone, and there is no problem. The development and innovation of society are not driven by everyone's pursuit of their own interests. "

Chen Duling felt that Li Zhuo was quite open-minded, and his vision was broad.

She continued:
"Well, so I went to take on the show. The first play "Left Ear" gave me a salary of 200 million yuan, but I didn't expect that filming would be so tiring and stressful. When I was on the show, I was so nervous Nosebleeds."

The difficulty is probably only experienced by herself.

Li Zhuo nodded.

"But after I adjusted, I worked hard to make movies. The salary quickly rose to 400 million, 700 million, and the highest was over [-] million. Really, I really saw the glitz of the entertainment industry, and I was like a porcelain doll. , being dressed up by the management team and the public relations team."

She laughed at herself and said something very interesting:
"From a student to an actor, there was too much of a gap and I was caught off guard. When the storm came, I was not ready. I stood at a loss in Vanity Fair, and I no longer had the calmness and confidence I had when I was learning the sea."

"So, under the team package, I made a lot of 'efforts' other than works. I went to variety shows and walked the red carpet. I felt like I was possessed by a nightmare. I obviously didn't want to go, and I knew I was not good at it, but I still had to do it. Because a lot of people are working hard for it.”

"Until later, I felt that this was not enough. I had to rely on the work to speak. When I chose the role of the script, I asked for a female supporting role. I didn't want a female lead. I felt that I couldn't support it, and it was best to be a female supporting role with a complicated personality. Since then, I have done a lot of homework and asked the teacher for advice. I slowly figured out the skills of acting, and gradually I was praised by the audience for my acting skills..."

Li Zhuo listened the whole time without interrupting.

It wasn't until she finished talking about this mental journey that Li Zhuo asked:

"Is this the first time you've told anyone about this?"

Chen Duling nodded and said with a smile:

"I think you are really smart, indeed, I never even told my mother, but I don't know why I want to say it today, although I may regret it later..."

Li Zhuo asked:

"Do you know why you said it so frankly today?"

Chen Duling shook her head, her eyes were shining, she looked cute.

Li Zhuo said:

"Because you already have, as you said, the survival skills of the entertainment industry, so you're not afraid to say it."

He took a sip of his tea before adding:
"So, congratulations, you are now capable of gaining a foothold in the entertainment industry."

"Thank you." Chen Duling expressed her gratitude, she felt that Li Zhuo was really accurate.
