Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 193 Wangfu (please subscribe!)
The magazine cover shoot went very smoothly, as did Xiangyang's work.

After the "Black Swan" matter was successfully resolved, Xiang Yang quickly welcomed the production team of "Downton Abbey". For this very important project, Axel personally attended the negotiations.

The results were satisfactory.

As Pierre said before, just listen to what the British say.

Immediately after Xiang Yang and others left that day, ITV executives contacted some senior executives from Burberry's public relations department.

Burberry was naturally very interested in this TV series after hearing about it.

However, they are only willing to invest 500 million pounds.

It’s not that Burberry’s top management is short-sighted, but it’s that life is difficult. The brand’s total global sales are not high. Compared with 08, its growth rate is slow, only 1.1%, and its gross profit margin has dropped from about 60%. While falling to 55.4%, operating net profit dropped exaggeratedly from 20% to only 0.82%.

"Then, look forward to our cooperation."

After spending two days discussing all the cooperation details, ITV chose Hermès, a luxury brand that was willing to invest 2 million pounds.

Of course, this money will be paid in one lump sum after the contract is signed, but in batches. Depending on the progress of the project, all will be paid to ITV before the filming of the TV series starts.

"I hope our cooperation can achieve a win-win situation and pave the way for the next step."

Axel let out a sigh of relief after signing the contract page on behalf of Hermès with one stroke of his pen.

According to the signing details of this contract, Hermès has the priority to invest and sponsor the second and third parts, and will receive a certain share of the export share of the show.

This share is not much, only 10%, and it is fixed for each unit.

This is also one of the main reasons why ITV chose Hermès for investment sponsorship.Because the capital of American dramas requires a 30% export share commission for the same investment share.

Of course, this drama also has the capital of the beautiful country.

Everyone has different say rights in the production of TV series according to their respective proportions. Generally speaking, broadcasting companies have the right to premiere the series in their country, while production companies can make profits from DVD sales or other channels.

Regarding DVD sales, Hermès said that this thing does make money, but I am not interested.

"Little John, Xiang, then I'm looking forward to you coming to London to sign the contract."

Before leaving, ITV executives expressed to the producers of the TV series.

“It’s a great honor and we have been looking forward to this day.”

Little John was a little excited. He had been thinking about the money for a long time and was finally about to get it.

He even thought about how to spend the money.

After calculating the expenses that should be kept, he will take out his share of the profits as soon as possible to expand his collection and take a big step forward in his dream.

As for TJ, it needs certain funds to maintain operations.

Isn’t that part of Xiangyang’s profit?
"Our production team is ready to go. All garments will be produced as soon as possible after receiving your confirmation. In terms of quality and style, we will strictly follow the most stringent craftsmanship to perfectly reproduce the garments. Every piece of clothing from the era.”

Listening to Little John's nonsense, Xiangyang admired this guy's face from the bottom of his heart.

And the production team. Until now, the entire company does not even have a full-time accountant belonging to the company.

He didn't even know if he would have time to think about costumes for Damien's new movie when Damien came over to sign the contract. After all, this was something that had been discussed from the beginning.

It was Little John who asked for it.

"Xiang, are you stupid? You forgot that we have a free labor force like you."

After bidding farewell to the ITV people, Little John heard Xiang Yang's concerns and was not worried at all about the situation that he would not be able to cope with.

"You'd better explain this clearly."

Xiang Yang was a little angry. What does 'free' mean?
"No, she is different from you. You are the major shareholder of the company. Your free service is not cost-effective, but Sarah is very cheap." Little John playfully gave Xiang Yang a Wink and explained:

“For a movie like Damien’s, the profit is not high and the amount of cooperation is not large, so you can leave it to Sarah to do it for you.

Then just control the overall idea. "

After saying these words without shame, Little John patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Don't do everything yourself. You have to learn to train your subordinates. No wonder the company asked you to study for an MBA. You really don't have any brains for business management."

"You are so shameless." Xiang Yang rolled his eyes.

It's a good idea, though, Sarah has what it takes, and the costume design required for Damien's film isn't difficult or even a separate production.

"No, we still have to do it." Little John directly rejected Xiang Yang's ignorant suggestion.

"Although we can be lazy and fool around, we are professionals in fashion guidance. What is professional? It's just a luxury designer."

Before he could finish his words, Xiang Yang directly interrupted this nonsense, "You can pull it off. But on Sarah's side, don't let this little girl suffer, and don't delay her work. The ready-to-wear show is next. It will start at the end of the month, and I think she is quite busy."

"Do not worry."

Little John shrugged, he had already planned this.

As for time, it won’t come out if you squeeze it.

"By the way, do you want to go to Milan Fashion Week?" Little John asked: "Laura has several shows over there."

Milan Fashion Week was held right in front of Paris Fashion Week. Xiang Yang, who had his own part to take responsibility for, thought about it and said cautiously, "Go if you have time."

"Then if you can't go, let your representative Sissi attend."

"It's not impossible."

Xiang Yang replied. Liu Qianqian seemed to be able to make time for the two consecutive shows in mid-to-late September. After the "Vogue Mid-Issue" magazine is over, she seems to have no schedule for the whole September and needs to focus on school and movie preparations.

By the way, there’s also movie promotion.

Xiang Yang suddenly remembered the movie "Midnight in Paris" and was surprised to find that he and Liu Qianqian were about to spend less time together and more separation.

At the thought of separation, Xiang Yang subconsciously rubbed the ring on his left middle finger.

After busy confirming the itinerary, Liu Qianqian suddenly realized this.

Holding the form in her hand, she was surprised to find that after her birthday, she would soon enter a period of work without a break.There are a lot of activities that need to be attended, both domestic and foreign.

Overseas, it mainly revolves around film promotion and their own studies, and of course there is also fashion week.

It's much more complicated in China. Not only do you have to attend the awards ceremony, but you also have to attend some HW mobile phone offline events, and others.These others include some endorsements that have not been completed before, and also include those that Liu Xiaoli is in contact with.

"Mom, I'm going home."

"In the next two or three months, I won't have time to spend time with Xiangyang. I want to spend the next few days with him."

Facing Liu Xiaoli, Liu Qianxi, who had a showdown, said bluntly.

She will not be left behind in her busy work, but she should also enjoy life.

"No."

Liu Xiaoli also expressed her position directly.

She was disgusted when she saw Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian "spreading dog food" in front of her in the past two days, especially when they were shaking their hands in front of her.Every time she saw and thought of these two rings, she felt panicked.

If Xiang Yang was asked to move back, she would be happy with it.

But don't even think about moving the two of them together.

The boy named Xiang is also the same. He is so embarrassed to wear this ring on his hand.

"Liu Qianqian, I'm not discussing with you now," Liu Xiaoli took a deep breath and glared at Liu Qianqian, "You are a girl, are you ashamed to be in such a hurry?"

Liu Qianqian lowered her head and rubbed the ring on her index finger without saying anything.

"Mom told you before, focus more on your career. It's not like you have nothing to do. You can't reach big Hollywood productions now, and you don't want to touch those in domestic entertainment, so get in touch with those on Hong Kong Island. resource.

Didn't Mrs. Xiang call you to tell you that there were several movies in the pipeline and asked if you were interested? "

Liu Xiaoli finished speaking sincerely and looked at her daughter, "Don't forget why you acted in the first place. It's not my mother who forced you to enter the entertainment industry."

"Mom, I don't like those scripts."

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and refused: "Besides, I now plan to practice my acting skills and study for a while. We have talked about this before."

"What you learn should be put into practice." Liu Xiaoli said, "In "Love Announcement", they are going to ask Wang Lihong to play the male lead. Don't you also like singing?"

"But the plot is too childish."

Yes, Liu Qianqian thinks so.

Whether it is the connotative metaphor of "Midnight in Paris" or "Black Swan", it is difficult for Liu Qianqian after appreciating this kind of script to watch the cliché plot of "Love Announcement" where a big star pretends to be an ordinary student and goes to school to chase a girl.

This is a complete replica of the Wanwan idol drama, with nothing new at all.

"Then have you ever thought about what Xiangtai told you on the phone?" Seeing her daughter refuse again, Liu Xiaoli felt a little relieved.

This comfort comes from the growth of my daughter.

"They are planning to hire soundtrack directors from Hollywood, Disney, and Cannes, so let's not talk about it.

As for the costumes, they were originally planning to hire art director Yu Jiaan, who won the Academy Award for Best Costume and Modeling, but Xiang Taike said that it was not impossible to leave the costume direction to Xiang Yang.

Sissi, think about the time you were dating Xiangyang. Have you ever helped him in his career?
There is no conflict between you two now. When you two quarrel in the future, you will talk about this kind of thing. "

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian was stunned for a moment.

It seems that what my mother said makes sense.

Xiang Yang has been helping her, but she seems to be a 'vase' herself, unable to help Xiang Yang's career in the slightest.

"Sissi, it's not what mom said about Xiangyang." Liu Xiaoli observed her daughter, "You two are not equal in status. You are stronger and he is weaker. You always feel that he has helped you a lot and brought you to know many people and come into contact with them. A lot of people we couldn't reach before.

But in fact, when people are willing to cooperate with you, they also value your influence and value in China.

Don't always belittle yourself. "

"I'm not belittling myself." Liu Qianqian looked at her mother with a smile and said with a smile: "Mom, you don't really think that Xiang Yang is just a little tailor."

"You are just blinded by love." Liu Xiaoli teased her daughter, "Before Xiang Yang met you, wasn't he just a little tailor?"

"Hahaha."

Liu Qianqian couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and her smile became even happier.

Liu Xiaoli frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"I'm smiling, haha." The toothy Liu Qianqian explained with a crooked eyebrow: "Mom, I hear you say that, I'm quite prosperous, hehe."

"Liu Qianqian!!!"
