Chapter 48 Press Conference
Naturally, visiting the mansion is not just a simple visit. In fact, most of the activities between girls, whether it is shopping, manicure or afternoon tea, the real theme is not the event itself.

What they created is a private space exclusively for women so that they can better exchange information with each other.Martin Margiela's fall/winter collections, new episodes of The Bachelor, cute boys at school and, of course, the inevitable 'who likes whom', 'who's dating whom' leaps A classic issue regardless of race.

The 14219-square-foot No. 864 Stella Della Road is big enough for Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen to walk slowly enough.When they returned to the front hall, the two girls had already fully exchanged information, and the question that was most concerned in their hearts was answered in the side-by-side exchanges between you and me.

And this seems to have shortened the distance between the two of them a lot. When he came to Han Yi again, Xu Yiru had already clung to Zhao Youzhen's side like a bird, and even Yuzhen's face, which rarely showed waves , also showed a rare joyful smile.

"Looks like you're getting along very well."

Han Yi spread his hands and smiled.

"Hope you didn't say anything bad about me."

"It's too late." Zhao Youzhen pointed to Xiaoru who was hanging on his body, two uncontrollable dimples appeared on his cheeks, "Xiaoru told me a lot."

"What did you say?" Han Yi deliberately widened his eyes.

Xu Yiru didn't answer, just gritted his teeth a little, made a sound imitating spraying of hairspray, clasped his left hand as if holding the bottle, and slid across the top of his head from front to back.

Before doing the complete set of movements, Xiao Ru couldn't help but chuckle, even Zhao Youzhen clenched his hands into fists, put them next to his mouth, and turned his head away from Han Yi, his face flushed, very Suppressing a smile hard.

"Xiao Xu, it's just that one time." Han Yi pulled his voice and lamented, "I don't know how to use it, who knew it was so sticky."

"Just stop doing your own styling today."

Xu Yiru blinked playfully.

"So much media, don't hurt yourself."

"I found a stylist specifically for me, hey, there it is." Han Yi raised his chin, pointing to the stylist team who was arranging equipment outside the office on the first floor. They were hired by UTA today to be in charge of Han Yi, Douglas Le Pen, Jeremy Zimmer and Jim Berkus look.

After lunch, at 01:30 in the afternoon, the press conference of UTA moving to Stella Della Road will be officially held at the entrance courtyard of No. 864.

All of the famous media in Hollywood, whether it is physical or digital, TV or radio, will all be present.There are eighty white plastic chairs for reporters to sit in front of the sign-in curtain wall.

This is Han Yi's best opportunity to be known by the entertainment industry as a new capital that has entered the game strongly.

There must be no flaws.

"You... tie, remember to ask them to help you tighten it. Change the way you tie it."

Xu Yiru stretched out her hand naturally, but suddenly froze in mid-air, she remembered that beside her was Zhao Youzhen who was silently watching.But after a while, Xiaoru still caressed Han Yi's neckline and tapped the knot on the tie.

Seeing Xu Yiru's movements, even the top micro-expression expert couldn't see any change in Zhao Youzhen's expression. She just took half a step back and glanced at Han Yi's suit.

"You can unbutton it to look better."

Hearing these words, Xu Yiru lowered her eyes slightly, still smiling.

"Before they fix me up as a stump...lunch."

The atmosphere is not awkward, but subtle enough.Han Yi took out two cheese beef burgers wrapped in greaseproof paper from the cardboard take-out tray on the kitchen island, and shook them at the two girls, trying to change the subject.

Chef Felix Sorensen, along with sous chef Harold Hansen and the catering team hired by UTA, are preparing meals for the welcome party.Therefore, at noon, Corey McIntosh arranged for Feamu Dervish and Kean Griffin to go to Gary Avenue to pack a hamburger package for everyone.

Which burger?
In-N-Out, of course.

The definition of a gourmet burger varies from state to state, especially on the East and West Coasts.New Yorkers favor the modern minimalist emerald green Shake Shack, while Los Angeles gravitates to the retro red-yellow In-N-Out.

Taking the capitalization route, Shake Shack, which landed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014, has opened all over the world, and even Huaguo is intensively preparing for its first store.In-N-Out neither franchised nor listed, has always adhered to family-style management, which has been passed down to the third generation of the Schneider family, and has only set up stores in six states on the west coast and Texas.

In-N-Out's insistence on food quality, especially the origin of beef, is what distinguishes them from most fast food brands.The Schneider family only uses fresh 100% USDA ground beef and refuses any additives, fillers and preservatives.

In order to ensure the taste of the patty, the purchased beef must be processed by the In-N-Out patty production factory. There are two factories in California and one in Texas. Every day, hundreds of trucks leave from the production factory , sending fresh beef patties to different stores in seven states for sale.

Han Yi is not very interested in hamburgers, and he really can't eat In-N-Out's other unique flavors except for fresher lettuce and tomatoes.But this does not prevent Americans who have a soft spot for sandwiches from regarding them as treasures.Not only ordinary people commuting to and from get off work, but even the Oscar and Grammy Awards ceremony, In-N-Out is also the first choice for working meals.

The working meal before today's press conference was unavoidably In-N-Out, with a Double-Double set meal for each person. Corey also carefully asked Kian to remember to replace the French fries with the Animal Style Fries from the secret menu.

"Xiao Zhao, it's not enough."

A double-layer hamburger is indeed not enough for Zhao Youzhen to make according to common sense.Han Yi picked up a paper cup from the island stage and handed it to the Korean girl.

"Do you want a change? This is a strawberry milkshake."

Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhao Youzhen, who just took a big bite of the hamburger, with a little gravy oozing from the corner of his mouth, was stunned on the spot, like a cat caught by its owner to steal.

What is 'not enough and more'? !
Can this be said to... outsiders?
"I am full."

Reluctantly glanced at the fresh and tender beef patties, and the french fries in front of him that were still covered with secret meat sauce, Zhao Youzhen silently put down the paper box in his hand.

"Ah?" Han Yi was dumbfounded, "What's going on?"

"Losing weight." Xu Yiru could understand in English, Zhao Youzhen simply continued to answer in Chinese in a low voice, "This week's training is not enough, I definitely can't do it in two hours today."

two hours a day?
Xu Yiru secretly glanced at Zhao Youzhen's astonishing curves under the cocktail dress, and stopped chewing.

There are too many classes and no time to exercise...then eat less.

Where are you two bigu?
The question mark above Han Yi's head was about to materialize.Needless to say, Zhao Youzhen's gluttonous nature, when eating with Han Yi, even a passing dog would have a bite.As for Xu Yiru, although his appetite is much smaller, his pursuit of delicious food is not bad at all.She is busy with schoolwork, and one of the few recreational activities for her is to go out for food with Han Yi.

"Just don't faint from hunger later... I'll do the styling first."

After a long time, the two girls still didn't move. Han Yi could only sigh helplessly, carefully packed the leftover packing boxes and put them in the trash can, and walked to the office that was temporarily transformed into a dressing room.

After watching Han Yiyao's back for a while, Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen turned their gazes to each other at the same time.After showing a friendly smile in an unusually tacit understanding, the two of them lowered their heads in unison.

Looking at the burger in front of me, I feel complicated.

The men's style is fast, Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen have not been able to observe their lunch for too long, Han Yi and Jeremy Zimmer walked out of the office together.

4月8日13:30，是新闻发布会拟定召开的时间。按照所有现场活动的惯例，这意味着正式开始的时间应该在一点45分左右。

Han Yi, Douglas Le Pen, Jeremy Zimmer, the three key figures for this press conference are all ready. At this time, 10 minutes have passed since the original time.

Not every party is at the level of a white tie, and the complicated and trivial outfits are enough to discourage most people.Today’s welcome party organized by UTA adopted the Black Tie Optional, which is most common in various industry events in Hollywood. Men can choose a tuxedo or an ordinary dark suit instead.Women's options are even more diverse, whether it is floor-length evening dresses, knee-length cocktail dresses or stylish two-piece sets.

Today, Han Yi is wearing Tom Ford's gray Prince of Wales check cashmere suit.After careful tailoring by the tailor in the store, no matter the length of the exposed ankles and wrists, or the width of the waist, they are all just right, making Han Yi look taller and straighter than usual.

In addition, the make-up artists and hair stylists for this party are all from UTA’s long-term cooperative styling team. Every year, Jim Berkus hosts the Oscar celebration dinner at his own house, and they are responsible for the dress-up of each celebrity guest.Under the exquisite handwriting of these industry experts, Han Yi's Far Eastern face is ingeniously blended with Hollywood-style masculine looks. In addition, he himself has a high nose bridge and dark tea hair, which is very suitable for European and American, especially British style dress.

When Han Yi walked out of the office, Ryan Gosling, Hugh Grant, and Timothy Chalamet fell into the palette at the same time in a blink of an eye, and they were mixed together.

Introverted and humble infused with oriental culture, lazy and unruly exposed to the sun on the west coast, and a little calm and melancholy soaked in the drizzle of Notting Hill.

Melancholy may not be the best adjective. This feeling is more like Hugh Grant's, looking at people with pure and innocent eyes like a puppy begging for food.

On weekdays, Han Yi, who wears a school sweater all over the world, is naturally not as exquisite and dazzling as Zhong Limin, a famous queen who pays great attention to image, but when he puts on a fancy dress, the latter is like a mouthful of bitter coffee with a strong and short taste.

And Han Yi is the cup of spring tea worth sipping.

Why did the stylist give you colored contact lenses...

Damn Daniel!

It's too foul!
"The hair is messed up." All kinds of praise came to his lips, but it turned into this simple reminder.Xiao Ru poked her right temple to signal Han Yi to pay attention.

"It's a beautiful day."

In contrast, Zhao Youzhen is much more straightforward.She caressed her left arm with her right hand, overlapping and hanging in front of her body, with undisguised appreciation in her eyes.

A capable and capitalized partner.

If it's also pleasing to the eye at the same time, that's a good thing.

If you eat together like this, you can eat a few more pieces of meat!
"Yes, very handsome!" Xu Yiru hurriedly added, feeling a little annoyed at his inconsistency, "I think it will be very photogenic."

"Mr. Han, please move to the front yard, the press conference will start soon."

"I hope, this light is too dead." Han Yi smiled and waved his hands indifferently, "I hope I don't get stuck in front of the flash later."

"You're sure to be fine!"

"Good luck."

Looking at the back of Han Yi walking towards the front yard, the two girls standing side by side made small movements that were extremely difficult for each other to notice.

Zhao Youzhen put his hands behind his dress and clenched them tightly, while Xu Yiru unconsciously caressed the diamond necklace around his neck with his fingertips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Thank you very much for taking the time to attend the joint press conference of Parkway Capital, Han Capital and UTA on the acquisition. I am Andrew Tor, Chief Operating Officer of UTA. Today's press conference will first be held by Jeremy Zimmer, CEO of UTA, delivered a short speech on the acquisition, and the question session later will follow the usual practice, one question per media."

"If there's anything you don't think has been mentioned, it's in the media kit to the right of your seat. If the kit isn't enough - which I strongly doubt will ever happen - call or email our PR team .”

The stage of the press conference of the acquisition is placed close to the waterscape art installation in the front yard of No. 864 Stella Della Road. There is a chair covered with a milky white tablecloth, a dark solid wood podium, and three folding seats corresponding to the and a huge sign wall that almost covered the floor-to-ceiling glass of the entire salon area of ​​the residence, constituted the entire set of the press conference.

Most of the media conferences in Hollywood are so simple, there is no LED screen, let alone a ball of light that lowers the ribbon with one touch.Even the background wall can be used for both purposes.It was used as a background during the press conference, and after the welcome party started, it was the place where celebrities left their autographs and images.

Andrew Toh's opening remarks are the same as his personality, crisp and clear, never dragging his feet.

"Without further ado, let's welcome the CEO of United Artists, Jeremy Zimmer!"

"First of all I want to thank you all for being part of this press conference on this wonderful Friday afternoon. Hope our cheeseburger is good enough to prompt everyone to turn on the filter."

Standing on the podium, Jeremy Zimmer's first sentence was a formulaic joke, and the media people who had just swallowed their working lunch naturally responded with a burst of mechanical canned laughter that was accurate to decibels.

In the United States, any industry has standards that have been tempered for decades.The template writing of movie scripts, the routine chords of pop music, and even speeches have their own unique requirements. If you don’t start with a tasteless joke, then the person who is giving a speech must not be a real American.

"Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Han Yi and Mr. Douglas Le Pen. It is their precise investment vision and unique business decisions that made our meeting here today possible. I hope we can give Mr. Han and Le Pen A round of applause from Mr. Pang."

Standing aside, Han Yi, who had not yet come to the stage, stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and greeted the gaze and applause.

After half a minute, the applause died down, and Jeremy Zimmer nodded to Han Yi and Douglas Le Pen, and continued to read the next speech.
