Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 733 - What to Wear?

Chen Yu turned sideways and glanced at the dark blue starry sky tie that Dilireba was holding, then shook his head to indicate that he would never wear this thing around.

"You have to dress formally to attend the charity reception held by the embassy or consulate, understand?"

Di Lieba glanced at her husband, then stuffed the dark blue starry sky tie into Chen Yu's arms and pursed her soft lips to signal the latter to hurry up and stop dawdling.

All cast and crew members of the "Twenty Thousand Kilometers of Taohuawu" program also received an invitation letter from the Chinese Consulate in Austin, the capital of Texas.

Di Lieba also stepped forward to help Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye borrow back two sets of high-end fashion.

They are Dior's new autumn version of tassel skirt, Balenciaga's new autumn version of trench coat, and two pairs of Van Cleef & Arpels' four-leaf clover series diamond pendant earrings.

Di Lieba originally didn’t want to go to the cocktail party because she felt the environment was too noisy. Now she is a pregnant mother and has to be responsible for her baby.

But due to the consulate's kindness, she could only accept the invitation with reluctance.

Di Lieba doesn’t dress up much. Now this young lady or mother prefers to pursue natural beauty, the beauty of her own body, and the beauty without makeup.

"Excuse me, how much is this handmade dress? And the shoes you are wearing."

The handmade long skirt was imported from Damascus, and every stitch was made by women. Chen Yu really didn't know that Syria, which is in such a mess, could produce high-end fashion.

In the past, Chen Yu had only heard of Damascus scimitars and Aleppo laurel soap, but in recent years, he has heard of all kinds of war refugees and humanitarian crisis refugees.

"I said, can you expect more from others? Read more serious publications when you have nothing to do. The Middle East is a treasure that leads the trend, whether in ancient times or now."

Di Lieba avoided the question and refused to reveal the actual price of the handmade long skirt.

To be honest, this handmade long skirt is not that expensive. After deducting tariffs and shipping costs, it only costs more than 300,000 US dollars. It is a relatively niche but extremely popular fashion.

In order to keep this golden signboard for a long time, the Syrian government strictly prohibits the mechanization and assembly line of the production process, which must follow the nearly thousand-year-old tradition.

"Are you coughing on purpose? It's been nearly a thousand years. Did Syrians have clothes to wear back then?"

Chen Yu tucked his tie under the sofa cushion stealthily, but when he turned around, he saw Dilireba with her hands on her hips and her cherry lips slightly raised, smiling coldly at him.

Chen Yu knew that it would only be more embarrassing if he took out the tie again, so he immediately stood up and said that the white shirt was very handsome even without a tie!

Although clothes make the man, Chen Yu's foundation is really very good.

Even if he casually drapes himself with a bed sheet, he can still look trendy and fashionable.

Di Lieba was too lazy to respond so Chen Yu spoke more and more quietly.

In fact, Di Lieba knows very well what it looks like when her husband wears formal clothes.

When designing the character's look, the crews of both "Knives Out" and "John Wick: Chapter 3" tried their best to avoid having Chen Yu wear purely formal attire.

The crew of "Godzilla II: King of the Monsters" asked Chen Yu to wear a British-style three-piece suit throughout the entire production.

Highlights Chen Yu’s cold and violent aura.

After all, he is the villain in this work.

Dilraba Dilmurat commented that her husband could not compare with Bruce Lee and Jet Li after wearing a Zhongshan suit.

The latter two predecessors are national heroes, while Chen Yu is more like an enemy spy.

At this moment, all members of Armani's styling team are also worried.

According to reliable sources, Chinese people from all walks of life attending the charity reception all wore Tang suits or Zhongshan suits.

"Try a warm-colored Mao suit, and put away the cold-colored ones."

Di Lieba grumbled as she ate her yogurt and fruit salad that the nutrition team restricted the amount, type and time of fruit she could eat every day.

Last night, Dilraba Dilmurat was about to steal some imported lychees from Madagascar but was sternly stopped by the doctor. She had to replace them with the red apples she didn't like.

The First Red Apple is an American inland apple that is rich in nutrients but relatively hard and a bit difficult to bite.

Dilireba could only cut it into dice-sized pieces and pour yogurt on it.

If you crush the apples to make juice, the cellulose will be destroyed and the nutritional content of the apples will be affected. Chen Yu suggested that Dilireba use a small spoon to scrape the apples little by little.

"Ok, you can feed your baby like this when he (she) is born."

Dilireba angrily pushed all the apples to the side of the plate, and Chen Yu refused to eat them because they were stained with yogurt.

Of course, if Di Lieba forces him to eat, he will eat it obediently.

"Hurry up and leave early so we can visit the botanical garden on the way."

Dilireba picked up the brochure introducing the charity reception from the ground.

Skip the drinks, hors d'oeuvres, hot meals and desserts and go straight to the items up for auction.

The warm-up items at the beginning are basically from the Republic of China period, including official kiln porcelain cups, olive bottles with the word "囍", and authentic calligraphy works by southern and northern painters.

Chen Yu doesn't understand these things at all, but Di Lieba knows a little bit about them due to the influence of her father.

“The double [囍] olive bottle is nice and has a fitting meaning. I want to try it.”

Dilireba pointed the manual toward Chen Yu and poked the display picture on it.

Chen Yu took off his British navy collar shirt. He thought he could just call the consulate and quote a price. After all, every auction was different from what was advertised.

Not all items printed in the manual will appear at the auction site; this is an unwritten rule in the industry.

Di Lieba pursed her lips to emphasize the sense of participation and game.

"That thing isn't expensive. Why would you want to play with it?"

The starting price of the olive bottle with the word "囍" is exactly US$3,500.

Anyone who shells out $5,000 for it is simply out of his mind.

"Don't mention it's old. Even if it's new, it won't cost more than twenty dollars."

Chen Yu changed into a warm yellow Tang suit and wandered around in front of the mirror.

"You think I didn't hear you? You're so sarcastic. The new one is only worth twenty dollars!"

"If I go back to China and see discounts or promotions, I might be able to easily buy a pair for only 20 RMB!"

Dilireba glanced at the half bag of potato chips left on the table and stretched out her paw.

But his spell was interrupted by Chen Yu's light cough, so he could only pick up a red apple and take a bite out of it.

In addition to the "囍" olive bottle, Di Lieba also liked a jade ring with a dragon and beast from the mid-Ming Dynasty.

"If you like it, just give it a try. I'll call and ask if anyone has made a reservation."

Chen Yu tied his tie and stood in front of the mirror, and replied weakly. Upon hearing this, Di Lieba immediately walked quickly to the landline to contact the auction company.

The starting price of this thing is 8,500 US dollars, and Di Lieba is ready to buy it directly for 20,000 US dollars.

Don't think it's too little. This auction is organized by the Chinese embassy and consulate, and it can't be compared with purely commercial auctions that easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

All the funds raised will be donated to children in Libya.

Miss Hermione, who had just been successfully re-elected as the Goodwill Ambassador of UN Women, was also invited to attend the reception.

The Hollywood shutdown had a huge impact on her. Emma Watson had originally negotiated a sci-fi blockbuster, but the strike caused Disney to be in a state of panic.

Then he cut off contact with Watson, and now the latter can only rely on charity activities to make his presence felt.

Feminism doesn't work right now, at least not in Hollywood.

Both the Screen Actors Guild and the Television and Television Producers Association are wary of this.
