Chapter 306 Professional Cosplayer
Zhang Yu's home is located in a high-rise building in a residential complex in the city center, with tight security and excellent privacy.
The building has a small, separate garden on the ground floor, and upon entering, you'll find a very grand and bright lobby, where a dedicated lobby manager will greet you.
Such property standards should be considered top-tier in Shanghai.
As a result, the community has attracted many famous people to live there.
I've even vaguely heard of Bai Li.
This neighborhood is extremely well-known in the industry; several big stars live here.
"Is this your new house?" Bai Li followed behind Zhang Yu, strolling leisurely and looking around at the surroundings.
Just then, the elevator arrived. Zhang Yu held the elevator door open for Bai Li and replied, "Yes, the ownership was transferred about six months ago."
The doors closed silently, and the elevator car ascended smoothly.
Bai Li silently calculated in her mind that she had only been working at Day and Night Entertainment for a short time before being switched to this place...
Inside the elevator, Zhang Yu explained the reason for moving in a gentle voice: "Although I bought a house a few years ago, the privacy there wasn't very good, so I moved here."
I've heard Jiang Mingfei mention this white pear.
It may seem like just a small house, but Zhang Yu paid off all the mortgages on his own, which is already much better than most people.
The money you can earn by working a regular job is still less than what you can earn in a few months as a celebrity.
The entertainment industry is truly a "highly profitable" industry.
If Zhang Yu were to simply follow the routine of his work, it would still be quite difficult for him to buy a large apartment in the city center that costs eight figures.
But is the entertainment industry a place where just anyone can make a living?
Zhang Yu possesses top-notch physical attributes, as well as amazing acting skills as a soft power, which has enabled him to achieve his current success in a short period of time.
As Bai Li sighed inwardly, the elevator doors slid open smoothly.
With one elevator per household, privacy is greatly enhanced once again.
The door lock successfully recognized the face and emitted a "beep" sound.
Zhang Yu opened the front door, stepped aside to make way, and said with a warm smile, "Welcome."
Bai Li put on the brand-new women's slippers that Zhang Yu had prepared for her, raising an eyebrow slightly: "You were prepared in advance?"
Her visit today was purely impromptu, but he had brand new women's slippers at home.
Before Bai Li could see the corner, Zhang Yu quietly closed the cabinet door.
There are no more new slippers in the closet.
The women's slippers weren't a large pair; there was only this one pair.
It's clearly intended for only one person.
In other words, it was only prepared for Shirai.
But Zhang Yu did not mention this point. His expression remained unchanged, and he simply said softly, "It's better to be prepared."
Bai Li nodded, not paying much attention, taking it as a coincidence, and strode into the room.
Zhang Yu's home decor style is exactly like his own temperament.
The overall color scheme is black, white, and gray, and the furniture is simple and clean.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the bustling city skyline.
The space has a strong sense of size, perhaps because there is not much furniture and everything is kept extremely tidy. There are no unnecessary clutters on the table, and the blank space makes the space seem infinitely longer.
The air is filled with a light, refreshing woody scent.
"Meow~" A little black cat peeked out from the corner of the room.
Hearing the door open, Xiao Hei initially intended to walk over directly, but upon seeing a stranger, he cautiously retreated, hiding in a small corner and only peeking out with half his head showing.
"Xiao Hei!" Bai Li's eyes lit up. She had been "virtually admiring" Zhang Yu on his WeChat Moments countless times, and finally saw the real person.
She didn't rush over; instead, she squatted down, smiled kindly, and extended her finger in a friendly gesture.
Xiao Hei was observing her, and so was she.
It was clearly very well cared for by Zhang Yu. It had a well-proportioned body, glossy black fur, and extremely bright, clear yellow eyes. It had a somewhat cold and aloof air about it, which inexplicably reminded Bai Li of the real black panther in Wuhai.
Xiao Hei clearly sensed the kindness of the human before it, and with its owner present, the possibility of danger was completely eliminated. Its tense nerves gradually relaxed, and it slowly and gracefully strolled closer. It gently sniffed Bai Li's outstretched fingers, exchanged scents, and then began to roll over onto its belly.
"Another cat that's naturally friendly," Bai Li commented while petting it.
Zhang Yu took out a bag of snacks and fed it to Xiao Hei, patting its head and saying, "Good boy, go play somewhere else."
As if the little guy could understand, he stopped trying to please Bai Li after receiving the treat. He picked it up and happily walked away, curling up in his cat bed in the corner to enjoy it contentedly.
Having successfully distracted his somewhat unreserved "son," Zhang Yu led Bai Li to the dressing room.
"It's so big!" Bai Li exclaimed in surprise.
It seems Zhang Yu has allocated half of this large penthouse to walk-in closets.
Strictly speaking, it can no longer be considered a walk-in closet, but rather a small clothing warehouse.
Rows of custom-made clothes hangers are neatly arranged, filled with clothing of various styles.
Everyday clothes only take up a small portion of the space; the rest is occupied by cosplay costumes.
—The magnificent and elaborate ancient armor, the futuristic sci-fi bodysuit, the wild animal skin outfits… all are extremely exquisite and meticulously crafted, and are all custom-made.
Bai Li could name several of the characters wearing them, as she had seen Zhang Yu wear them on his social media account at the time.
Besides clothing, the transparent cabinets against the wall display a dazzling array of wigs, headdresses, weapons, colored contact lenses, cosmetics, and more.
The air was filled with the smells of fabric, leather, and skincare products.
There was also a worktable in the corner, on which various handicraft tools were placed, along with half-finished tools and wigs.
Zhang Yu clearly also has the ability to make her own cosplay costumes and accessories.
Bai Li toured the place with wide eyes, a sense of awe growing within her. Her fingertips gently brushed against a beautifully crafted shoulder armor, dark gold and covered in scale patterns, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Zhang, this place is practically an armory! Did you make all of these yourself?"
Standing beside Bai Li, Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the battle robes that carried his passion, and his tone was tinged with nostalgia: "These are the assets accumulated over more than ten years. Most of them were designed and patterned by myself, or custom-made by trusted tailors."
These are works that he cannot simply discard; no matter where he moves them, he will find a place for them.
His previous house was too small, so he rented a separate studio to display his items.
Now that the new house is bigger, he has combined three rooms to use for storage.
Bai Li discovered that Teacher Zhang's MBTI was definitely a J personality. These cosplay outfits were arranged neatly according to the timeline. Each set was properly sealed and also had detailed information such as the specific production time and the character it belonged to, allowing her to easily trace his complete cosplay trajectory.
Bai Li's gaze finally fell on a set of shiny black clothes, the date marked as ten years ago, and the character as Batman.
She pointed and said, "I don't think I've ever seen you release this set before."
Zhang Yu followed Bai Li's finger and looked over: "It's a work from a long time ago, and no pictures were released at the time."
At this point, Zhang Yu turned to look at Bai Li, a smile in his eyes: "Want to see this set?"
A bodysuit, just imagining it makes me think it's so sexy...
Besides, Zhang Yu hadn't released any images before, so doesn't that mean only he could see them?
Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded excitedly.
"I'll grant your wish." Zhang Yu's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He reached out and took off the black outfit, then picked up the matching mask and black fingerless tactical gloves, before turning and walking into the depths of the dressing room.
