Chapter 442 Women Only
Chapter 442 Women Only
"Of course, I will treasure the painting." Su Lingxi raised her eyes and glanced at her with a smile, "Do you want to go to the kitchen to take a look? Selina is trying to make a special cocktail. I think it should taste good."
If not compared with Su Lingxi, Mia Selina's development in recent years is considered very good among young directors.
Her starting point was higher than most directors of the same age. The film "Paris at Night" allowed her to officially enter the ranks of the top directors of European art films. She also earned $2.3 million at the North American box office with the love film "Miss Macaulay" which she wrote and directed herself, and also won the Toronto Film Critics Association Best Director Award.
If the public relations had been better, "Miss Macaulay" might have received more than one Oscar nomination.
In addition, Selina may have a love movie adapted from a famous work released in the second half of next year. The film has not yet officially started shooting, but the director and leading actors have been determined. This adaptation is the fifth adaptation of this literary work in Hollywood. The previous four adaptations all had their own advantages and disadvantages. Everyone in Hollywood is waiting to see whether this young female director from Paris can make the movie more exquisite than the previous versions.
Esther LeBlanc is one of them.
She had just moved to Beverly Hills and had only played guest roles with occasional lines in two movies. She felt very new to everything in Hollywood.
Although Mia Selena is an "outsider", she is also a very famous foreign director among young people.
Now that such a great social opportunity was right in front of her, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse it.
As Su Lingxi expected, not long after Esther left, Selina's cheerful laughter was heard from the kitchen - in Hollywood, making cocktails together is also a social skill that can bring people closer together.
Selina hates old-fashioned people who stick to the rules the most, so she should have a lot to talk about with this willful little princess.
Su Lingxi smiled, casually opened a script and began to read quietly.
Tonight is a private party for ladies. Apart from the three ladies who were invited, Su Lingxi did not leave any staff members behind, and only let the bodyguards guard outside the house as usual.
The reason for this arrangement is, on the one hand, to enhance the cohesion of this small group, and on the other hand, to ensure the confidentiality of private conversations.
"Let's get started!"
Esther walked out of the kitchen one after another with Selina, holding the salads she had carefully prepared. They had bright smiles on their faces and it seemed that the two of them had worked together very happily.
"Lemon, pomegranate syrup, vodka... and sparkling water. Good, this drink tastes great." Su Lingxi took a sip of the wine, with a hint of amazement in her eyes - of course she knew Selina could mix cocktails, but she didn't expect that she had produced so many works in the past two years, and her cocktail-mixing skills had not only not regressed, but improved.
"The name of this wine is 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. I think it suits you best." Selina smiled and pushed the other two plates of salad in front of them. "Try this. Eddie and I just figured out a new way to make it."
Although the two made some innovations based on the original, it can be seen from the appearance that these two are very classic Burrata fruit salads. Probably for body management considerations, the fruits they chose are low-sugar fruits such as blueberries and figs, and more green and healthy vegetables are added.
Of course, even so, these two dishes would inevitably seem too small on the large dining table - there were four of them after all.
"Honestly, this has to be the shabbiest party I've ever been to." Esther carefully picked up a small piece of ham with her fork. "Oh, Nicole, sometimes I really suspect that you are actually a vegetarian in disguise."
"Eddie, if you have seen the three meals a day of supermodels, then you will definitely not think there is anything wrong with these two dishes." Su Lingxi answered calmly: "Enjoying delicious food and keeping in shape are often two things that cannot be achieved at the same time - especially after 10 o'clock in the evening."
"Yes, because of my work, I have come into contact with some models. In order to stay in the best condition, they only drink alcohol all day long and dare not even eat half a piece of chocolate." Delphine nodded in agreement.
Selina at the side couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression, "God...Won't this kind of diet damage your health?"
"Of course, but some people have to sacrifice their health for the chance to be on camera." Delphine gave her a helpless smile.
"This unhealthy dieting method should have been eliminated long ago." Su Lingxi thought for a moment, "We should find a way of exercise that suits us, such as yoga, Pilates or ball games - this will not only help us maintain a balance between our body shape and diet, but also help us stay healthy."
"So? What do you want to do?" Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Selina asked deliberately.
"So... I want to build a gym club exclusively for women. Focusing on women's power and women's health development, the first store can be opened in Hollywood. If the publicity is done well, I think it should be able to attract celebrities from the area."
"I wonder if you are interested in joining?"
Su Lingxi's words were powerful, and it was obvious that this was not an idea that suddenly popped up in her mind, but a decision she made after careful consideration and planning.
In fact, Su Lingxi has the golden finger of [Private Space], so she is not in urgent need of the gym.
But it is obvious that her purpose of establishing a women-only gym is not just limited to this. She actually wants to use this opportunity to truly build her own social circle.
This gathering tonight is just the first step.
Delphine Arnault, who chose to lie dormant temporarily in order to compete for the inheritance rights of the LVMH Group, Mia Selina, who wanted to integrate more closely into the mainstream Hollywood circle as a director, and Esther LeBlanc, a fledgling Hollywood newcomer with a prominent family background, these three people are the allies she has carefully selected for herself at this stage.
It is almost impossible to get everyone in a small group to get along well.
But as long as their needs and interests are the same, everything is possible.
And Su Lingxi's ambition is not limited to this small group of four.
