Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 417 Xiangyang’s parents are also coming to Paris (please give me a monthly ticket!)

[The CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company praised "Ocean Paradise", and the protection of the ocean and ecological environment is thought-provoking]

[The CEO of Hermès Film Company praises "Ocean Paradise" and touches the softest friendship in my heart]

[Following Li Lianjie’s starring role with a salary of 1 yuan.]

【.】

"Little John is really awesome."

Although he has witnessed Little John's sexy moves many times, Xiangyang can't help but marvel at what this guy is thinking every time he receives feedback from him.

What is "Ocean Paradise" about? Xiang Yang, who has never seen this movie, only remembers that there are articles in this movie.

Because "See you on Monday" left a deep impression on Xiang Yang.

He was not an insider, but he had eaten a lot at that time.

Therefore, if it weren't for Little John, Xiang Yang wouldn't know that there was Li Lianjie in this movie at all.

Can I watch literary films starring Li Lianjie?

Xiang Yang, who stared at the email and weighed it repeatedly, couldn't help but feel the curiosity welling up in his heart.

"Haha, this is exactly what I thought."

Little John on the phone said flatteringly: "Xiang, even a boring guy like you will be interested in him because of the contrast in his screen image brought about by starring in art films. Think about others."

"I can't speak for the public."

Xiangyang's reply sounded casual, implying that it was up to you.

It’s not impossible to try to introduce it.

As long as you don't have a lot of money, there's nothing wrong with showing it on MK2 and Janus Films.

It’s just Wenzhang

"I think you should do more research, and don't cause unnecessary losses due to blindness." Xiang Yang said after struggling with his words.

"Unnecessary loss." Little John curled his lips and repeated.

Undoubtedly, he noticed the cautious attitude in Xiangyang's words, and he was speechless about it.

Because even my friends cannot pass this level, it is obviously impossible to implement this introduction project in an internal meeting.

"Then I'll think about it again."

Fortunately, he did not agree to this rashly, and Little John talked about Xiang Tai and Jiang Zhiqiang again.

In response, Xiang Yang could only smile bitterly, "With such a good project, you still have to choose?"

With the balance in the account of Hermès Film Investment Company, it would be great to be able to negotiate a cooperation.

Little John, on the other hand, wanted to catch both of them.

Aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?

Little John was helpless after being exposed, but he still emphasized: "I think if we can cooperate with Li Lianjie, it will bring us good benefits. Don't you think?"

Xiang Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "Uh, I don't think so."

Damn, I shouldn’t have asked.

Little John immediately greeted Xiang Yang cordially, and complained endlessly in the hotel room:

"It's okay if you like to focus on the future when investing, but don't forget that the money earned by the film company this year is also related to our future interests."

"So you have to be more cautious." Xiang Yang said in a daze.

"I really appreciate your caution."

"You are welcome."

Xiang Yang pursed his lips, and then read the second email sent by Little John, about the costume design manuscript for "The Great Cause of Party Founding".

"The design of Jiahe is quite beautiful."

Xiang Yang's eyes lit up as he casually glanced at the wheat ears sewn with metal wire embroidery on the black clothes.

The word Jiahe in his mouth is not from a film company in Hong Kong, but a kind of auspiciousness commonly seen in ancient Chinese literature - "Jiahe is born in the grass, and has different ears from the grass, so it is called Jiahe."

This auspicious level seems to be quite high, and it is related to Zhou Gong.

Enlarge the picture and you will see that both the pattern on the nine buttons and the embroidery on the placket are composed of this pattern.

Checking other information in the email also corrected his impression.

This set of clothes was designed by Lu Xun, Qian Taosun, and Xu Shouchang. From the beginning, they used the pattern of the dress in the Zhou ritual system. According to the records in "Zhou Rites - Spring Officials - Sifu", the system of twelve chapters used on the attire of court officials was already quite complete in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The patterns of these twelve chapters are painted with sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects respectively; Zongyi, Zao, Huo, Fenmi, Fu, Fu, and Xi embroidery are used to highlight the five colors and are used as clothing. Ruming.

Each coat of arms represents a different meaning. Since its birth, it has been influencing the development of Chinese clothing for three thousand years and the aesthetics of the entire nation.

In Europe, such patterns with special meanings are not uncommon.

However, unlike the Chinese coat of arms, the specific meaning of the coat of arms that originated in the Middle Ages is closer to the clan emblem of the Chinese Shang Dynasty.

The difference between the two is that the emblems of the Chinese Shang Dynasty evolved into Chinese characters.

And Europe still retains it.

Churches, families and guilds all have their own coats of arms.

Among them, family coat of arms, used to define identity, authority and lineage, has become one of the most commonly used status symbols for European nobility and royal families, and has been passed down from generation to generation in European society.

This thing is quite complex and has different shapes in different periods.

If you want to understand it, you might as well go home and read the genealogy.

Coincidentally, Neon Country also has its own family crests, mainly peacocks, butterflies, peonies, round fans, etc., with about 20,000 kinds.

"I remembered you when you mentioned this dress," said Little John: "Mr. Han said that he could give us the clothes needed to be used in the Paris Peace Conference. What do you think?"

"Oh, that's alright."

Xiang Yang smiled without thinking, "It's just that if we want to restore this dress, we need to find quite a lot of information. Do you know what kind of material this metal thread is made of?"

"Haha, I think it should be cotton or linen." Little John didn't expect Xiang Yang to be so happy.

The material of gold thread is very complex. Pure gold thread is an extremely expensive sewing material. Gold thread made of pure silver, copper, palladium, etc. is also expensive.

As for the 1910s and 1920s, golden yarn was commonly used. Its composition was more complex. The higher the metal content, the brighter the overall color.

But calculated based on the year, it will definitely not be the nylon and polyester commonly used in metal wires today.

Because one of these two fabrics is a product of the 30s, and the other is a product of the 40s.

Regarding Little John's judgment, Xiang Yang couldn't help but feel that he was talking nonsense.

After pondering for a while, he finally spoke: "Why don't you go to the museum to have a look and ask Mr. Han and others to help apply."

"I knew you would definitely need me to go there myself."

Little John couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Xiang Yang's rigor.

"Well, if you work hard, I'll treat you to dinner when I come back." Xiang Yang smiled.

Although he spent a lot of effort for a piece of clothing, he felt that it was worth the trip anyway, especially for Little John to learn history.

Just applying to see such cultural relic-level clothes is not a matter of words.

Fortunately, after hard communication between Huaying and Shanghai, Little John saw this dress before leaving to return to Paris.

Xiangyang was not idle either.

This kind of diplomatic dress is mostly customized by old suit tailor shops.

It doesn't matter if you can't find out which company it is. It can also serve as a reference if you look at the craftsmanship and materials used in the production of large formal dresses in other countries during the same period.

As for Mr. Gu's clothes in the movie, he had no intention of just perfunctory. Perhaps this kind of intention is insignificant to the people who go to the cinema to watch this movie.

But for a fashion designer, it's completely different.

Moreover, exploring the design ideas and historical context of this dress from the beginning can also play a very good role in improving himself.

The meaning of "Jiahe" comes from the "Powder Rice" in the twelve chapters.

And ‘fen rice’ represents the meaning of nourishment and is an important component of ancient Chinese farming civilization.

Presumably, Lu Xun, Qian Taosun, and Xu Shouchang also put a lot of effort into designing these patterns, badges, and clothes.

It is estimated that among those who often criticize Lu Xun, few know that he was also a designer.

"The big V-neck dress is paired with a knitted sweater jacket, high-waisted casual suit trousers, and a buckled belt." Looking at the clothes he designed for himself, Xiangyang smacked his lips quietly.

Don't tell me, it's quite fashionable.

I’ve even played with layering.

As expected, the promise to make clothes soon reached the ears of Principal An.

Hearing that his son-in-law was looking for information, he came to the villa without stopping as soon as he got off work and asked if there was anything he could do to help.

There is no sense of unfamiliarity at all due to the pipa drama.

"Dad, not really." Xiang Yang silently shook his head at his enthusiastic father-in-law.

In addition to some literature, he can find out everything about clothing and fabrics. Before coming back, he also asked Han Sanping to send people to help him check as much as possible about the literature.

The rest is all after confirming the golden thread.

Different gold wire materials require different needles.

针头

Xiangyang feels that in this family, Principal An is quite unsociable.

Being stared at and pondering like this, Principal An also showed surprise on his face.

Why is this kid staring at me like this?

"cough"

He coughed awkwardly, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Xiaoli came over with washed fruits and said to him:

"After a while, you can help rent a car."

"Rent a car? Isn't the car at home enough?"

Principal An looked at the garage outside the window in surprise, then turned to look at Liu Xiaoli.

Ignoring her ex-husband, Liu Xiaoli confiscated the half piece of cake left in front of Liu Qianqian, pointed to the washed fruit, and then said:

"Sissi's aunt and the others are coming over."

"That" Hearing this, Principal An hesitated for a moment and then swallowed his saliva.

Xiang Yang looked at Principal An with pity.

He knew that his father-in-law was destined to be unsociable because of some things.

After feeling sorry for him for a few seconds, Xiang Yang asked curiously:

"Mom, have you set a date?"

"Next month, hehe."

Liu Qianqian didn't care about Principal An's embarrassment. She blinked, picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth. She smiled and said, "My aunt is so beautiful. She also said she really likes the clothes you made."

Listening to her answer, Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows.

This can be considered good news for myself.

As for my father-in-law?

Xiang Yang said openly that the scalpers should mind their own business when crossing the river.

Besides, when it came to Pipa last time, Principal An didn’t pay attention to benevolence and justice.

"How long will they stay?"

The voice of Principal An, who was silent on the side, was a little low. Obviously, long after the incident had passed, he still had some feelings for his ex-wife's contemporaries from her natal family.

Guilt is out of the question, but there is still a bit of embarrassment.

This feeling is completely different from facing elders.

Liu Xiaoli then said: "Let's see when the time comes, it hasn't been decided yet."

"Ah."

Principal An nodded, not surprised.

Liu Qianqian's aunt's family also has very good living conditions, so it might be possible to stay for two or three months.

It was with this in mind that Liu Xiaoli decided to rent another car.

Among the three cars currently in Xiangyang's family, there are two sports cars. Only the Mercedes-Benz can do some serious work.

But when talking about this matter, Principal An became concerned about his son-in-law, "Xiao Xiang, when will your parents come over? You can live with me then."

"My father and my mother," Xiang Yang frowned and said, "My mother has already applied for her passport and visa, but my father is still waiting for approval."

"That's right." Principal An nodded understandingly.

Even though Lao Xiang's position is not high, and his level is not high enough to get approval from the supervisor, he is an old man who went to Beijing, and he is an old man.

With such a son, there is absolutely no problem in getting a visa or anything like that, and the application process will definitely go through a lot of steps.

Process is something that sometimes goes fast and sometimes goes slowly.

It seems that Sissi is about to give birth and there is still no news, so she is probably stuck somewhere.

Thinking of this, Principal An, who had been feeling relaxed just now, couldn't help but frown.

Xiang Yang was also helpless about this.

It was impossible for him to call his father's leader to question the matter, so he could only wait for the result.

Based on what he knew about his father, and based on Lao Xiang's unfazed look on the phone, he guessed that it was almost done.

It's the weekend in two days.

Little John had just returned to Paris, and Lao Xiang, who had received the approval, called him immediately regardless of the time difference.

The time difference doesn't matter.

The key is that the call was actually made to Liu Qianqian, but Xiangyang's cell phone was silent and silent at all.

"call"

After returning from the hospital, Liu Qianqian had just crawled back into bed to get some sleep. When she heard the news, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you not to worry that day." Xiang Yang, who was also about to catch up on his sleep, looked at Liu Qianqian's behavior after hanging up the phone and couldn't help joking:

"Why, if my parents don't come, you're afraid they'll blame you then."

"You mean, I shouldn't be happy?" Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang.

There must be a reason why she attaches so much importance to Xiangyang's parents coming over.

The two families had previously agreed on the phone, because there were two babies at once, and because they were both girls, one for each family.

But the phone call is a phone call, and we still need to sit down and talk about it.

Try to be able to choose the names of the two children appropriately and achieve good results.

Moreover, Liu Qianqian also plans to take a word from each of her two children's names to register a company to be the producer of her movies.

After pushing herself up, she turned her head and stared at Xiang Yang and said, "No, I'm not sleepy anymore."

"You should take a rest even if you're not sleepy. You got up so early today." He pushed Liu Qianqian down gently and Xiang Yang grinned:

"You're not sleepy, but the babies in your belly are still."

"I think you're more or less sleepy." Liu Qianqian said angrily.

Looking into her gentle eyes, Xiang Yang said "hehe" sincerely.
