Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 418 I, Little John, am not a ‘courier’ (please vote for me!)

The hot and long kiss made Liu Qianxi blush with embarrassment.

The eyes he tried to open were hazy and charming, and the soft and moving syllables in his throat teased Xiang Yang's heartstrings.

She reached out to hold Xiang Yang's mischievous hand, held it firmly, moved it away from her body, and asked dissatisfiedly with all her strength:

"Have you kissed enough?"

"No," Xiang Yang said, "I can't get enough kisses in my life, what should I do?"

After saying that, Xiang Yang kissed Liu Qianqian's red cheek again.

It's fleshy and very elastic.

"If you keep making trouble, I'm going to get angry."

Liu Qianqian struggled to push Xiang Yang away as she spoke. After a few attempts, she found that she could do nothing. She lovingly grabbed Xiang Yang's hand and prevented him from touching it blindly.

Kissing is not enough in this life, wouldn’t it be better to kiss again in the next life?

Thinking about it, she held Xiang Yang's hand tighter.

After a while, her legs began to feel sore. She suddenly frowned, grabbed their hands and hit Xiang Yang's shoulders hard, "Is it too much?"

"No."

Feeling the rapid breathing between the two people blending into the same beat, Xiang Yang swallowed.

Liu Qianqian, who was staring at Xiang Yang, her eyes fixed firmly on him, said weakly: "Then you stay with me and stay honest. You are not allowed to fool around anymore. If you understand, you will do it."

"Think about it."

Xiang Yang pondered in confusion.

"I know." Liu Qianxi nodded, shook her head slightly and lowered her head.

Outside the window, the birds flying into the yard were chirping, their little heads shaking as if they were searching for food in the grass and flower stamens.

Laifu and Fantuan, who were walking together, looked at the sounds from time to time, but their steps never stopped.

Dongdong, who was sleeping quietly on the table outside the porch, would occasionally twitch his ears.

Then, when the door rang, Liu Xiaoli and Zhao Xin came back.

The two people who entered the house happened to bump into Xiang Yang who was standing in front of the open refrigerator, holding a glass of ice water in a daze.

Looking at her son-in-law's dazed back, Liu Xiaoli frowned and warned, "Yangyang, drink less ice water."

"Oh."

Xiang Yang was startled, but the next moment he quickly calmed down his panic, drank all the water in the cup, closed the refrigerator door, turned around and forced out a smile and asked:

"Mom, have you found the house?"

But with this smile, the bitten part in his mouth was pulled, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

Liu Qianqian is really cruel.

He felt that it must have been bitten inside.

"After seeing both of them, I felt pretty good. I thought I would cook for you, so I came back first." Liu Xiaoli, who walked into the living room, put her handbag away and sighed:

"Thanks to the agent introduced by Little John."

"Where's Sissi?" she asked.

"Sissi is resting." Xiang Yang's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously glanced towards the second floor.

"Then let her rest well."

Xiang Yang pursed his lips, and the sneer expression on his face became a little stiff. He mumbled back, "Well, I won't disturb her."

Unfortunately it backfired.

He didn't bother Liu Qianqian and locked himself in the workroom, trying to find something to do to kill his strong energy.

Liu Qianqian, however, seemed to be a victorious general and walked over from the villa after a while.

This made Xiang Yang very speechless.

"Why, you're not welcome to me?" Liu Qianqian opened the door and asked in an angry tone with her double chin raised proudly.

"No way." When Xiang Yang stammered and wanted to answer, she came over from the door and looked down at Xiang Yang who was sitting on the chair and said:

"Stand up and let me see if your mouth is broken."

"It should be bitten through."

Xiang Yang sighed and stood up to help this 'ferocious and vicious' woman.

I just couldn't bear to bite her.

Still so arrogant after winning.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing Xiang Yang's unfriendly tone, Liu Qianqian reached into her pocket, took out the prepared medicine and handed it over and said quietly:

"I'm not afraid that you'll be angry. Come over here to coax you and admit your mistake."

Xiang Yang took the medicine and took a look at it. He was very shocked.

‘Vitamin C’

"Honey, what's the difference between this and adding salt to my wounds?"

"Hey, are you going to eat it?" With a coquettish look on Xiang Yang's face, Liu Qianqian raised her hands and put her arms around Xiang Yang's neck, encouraging her:

"Don't get mouth ulcers by then."

Xiang Yang muttered silently: "Then you should bite a little gentler."

Liu Qianqian let out a weak "hum". She still felt that her bite was not hard enough.

Unlike Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian who have time and energy to flirt.

Little John, who came back from China, was very busy.

Huaying has a lot of people coming this time. The director in charge of filming in France, the screenwriter of the script, the people in charge of external relations and the location scouts were all brought over by Han Sanping.

In addition to the "Party Founding" team, Ning Hao and Xing Nana, who were originally in Paris, were also called over to get together.

Of course, Principal An, who holds the title of ‘consultant’, is also indispensable among this group of people.

When there are many people and they are all acquaintances, it is natural to have a dinner party.

As soon as the meal was served, it was inevitable that we started chatting.

Except for Principal An, everyone here is from the film industry.

In addition, Little John himself has a cooperation with China Film and Television, so the topic naturally turned to "Untouchable".

The filming of "Untouchable" has also ended.

Gaumont's producers and Bill Nye are working intensively on editing the film.

The first version of posters has been produced, and the promotional video will be released next week.

The reason for this rush is mainly because although the Cannes Film Festival is only held in May, it actually started in early April.

According to the arrangement of Gaumont and Hermès Film Investment Company, "Untouchable" will join hands with "Legal Copy" to participate in the main competition unit.

The Cannes Film Festival lasts for two whole weeks, and there are a lot of events.

In addition to setting up major activities such as competition, screening, and trading, the organizer also has six screening units: non-competition, midnight screening, Cannes premiere, special screening, Cannes Classics, and beach screening.

Before the official start of the Cannes Film Festival, whether it is the announcement of the opening and closing films, the announcement of the first batch of shortlisted films, the announcement of the key visual posters of the participating films, etc., they all start to warm up in early April.

This warm-up phase will continue until the Cannes Film Festival.

The purpose is naturally to attract more attention from the media, movie fans, film producers, etc.

Therefore, if "Untouchable", which finished shooting later, wants to successfully premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, it must meet the deadline of the fourth batch of shortlisted films at the latest.

The topic turned to the Cannes Film Festival, and Han Sanping couldn't help but feel a little sad.

As for why it’s sad.

According to his understanding, there are only two Chinese films in this Cannes Film Festival.

One is "Rizhao Chongqing" that is preparing to participate in the main competition, and the other is "Legend of the Sea" that is here to sell the copyright.

The competitors that Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke have to face are not just in Europe and the United States, but also in Asia. They also have to compete with Kitano Takeshi's "The Most Evil", Li Cangdong's "Poetry", and Lin Changshu's "The Housemaid".

Of course, his regret does not mean that he has no confidence in the works of Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke. Rather, it is based on my understanding of the selection mechanism of the Cannes Film Festival.

Takeshi Kitano is a director at the level of Neon Kingdom, and Li Cangdong is a unique representative figure in the literature and film industry of Bangzi Kingdom. Together, the two of them will undoubtedly attract the attention of the jury.

To compete with an opponent of this level, is there any use in bragging?

It obviously didn't work.

Little John was not as bad as Han Sanping.

First of all, he didn't have to think about this kind of thing since he wasn't in Han Sanping's seat;

The two films he participated in were able to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, which made him feel even more proud.

He didn't have any, and Xiang Yang didn't even have it.

The next day, Sunday, Little John came to talk to Han Sanping about yesterday's unpleasant experience at Cannes this year. Xiang Yang just shrugged his shoulders.

Still the same.

It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.

The production of the two Chinese films itself had nothing to do with him. It would be great to win awards, but it was already doomed that they would not win.

Moreover, the success of a movie cannot be determined solely by looking at single honors such as awards and box office.

There are some good films that fail to win awards.

There are also some good films that make the producers burst into tears when they are released.

"Then you don't care about the "Legitimate Copy"?"

Little John said with a smile.

He just likes to slap Xiang Yang in the face, because he knows that Xiang Yang definitely cares about the projects Liu Qianqian is involved in.

"What, is there anything wrong with "Legal Copy"?" As he expected, this sentence quickly caught Xiang Yang's attention.

"That's not true." Little John looked at Xiang Yang playfully and said with a smile:

"But there is news, Binoche has received high-end sponsorship from Dior."

"Oh?" Xiang Yang couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this. A local national treasure actress, she has won the best actress crown in Berlin and Venice, and is also a member of the jury.

It seems that "Legal Copy" has a high probability of winning the award.

Well, no wonder little John looks so happy.

Xiang Yang glanced at his friend and instantly understood the hidden information in his words. He raised the cup in his hand with a smile, motioned to touch it, and said:

"We'll wait until Binoche wins the award. I'm not you. I won't default on my money if I lose a bet."

"As long as you are willing to admit defeat, hahaha."

Laura, who was chatting with Liu Qianqian in the distance, couldn't stand the pretentiousness of the two of them sitting on the lounge chair under the shade of the tree.

"Look at the two of them. People who don't know think they were in "The Godfather."

"They two," Liu Qianqian also teased, "Just let them be proud.

Anyway, they are not like this in front of outsiders. "

Although it was unclear what the two were chatting about, seeing the two of them smiling so happily, I guessed that they were making fun of things in the entertainment industry.

This is completely normal operation for them.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand why it is not unusual for people like Xiang Yang and Little John who stand at a certain height in the fashion industry to always look down on the entertainment industry.

Take the “Cannes Red Carpet” for example.

For many celebrities, attending the Cannes International Film Festival is not an easy task.

Under normal circumstances, either a work will be unveiled at the film festival; or you will receive an invitation from a Cannes sponsor; or you will have to pay for a ticket to enter.

Among them, those who pay out of their own pocket may not be able to walk on the red carpet.

Because the rules of the Cannes International Film Festival are different every year.

It has happened before that celebrities are required to have works to be eligible to walk on the red carpet.

The admission fee paid out of pocket is between 16000 and 20000 euros, which is not much for celebrities.

But what about the entire trip expenses, including the dress, makeup, etc.?

Besides, the red carpet has a time limit.

It is common to drive away celebrities who have paid their own money to attend the Cannes red carpet and clear the venue to allow important crews and sponsors to invite important guests to take photos.

Although Hermès is not a sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival, the luxury goods industry's Kering Group, Chopard Jewelry, and L'Oréal Paris have always firmly held three of the four major sponsors of Cannes.

Therefore, invitations from important sponsors such as film festivals are the same as invitations from fashion week to Little John and Xiangyang.

It's nothing rare.

Is this kind of arrogance engraved in one’s bones annoying?

Definitely not likable.

But Xiangyang and Little John were not ‘moral emperors’ from the beginning to the end.

The fashion circle the two of them belong to is full of contempt. It is not normal for them to break out of the fashion circle and ridicule the entertainment industry.

The key lies in how you see it yourself.

Liu Qianqian didn't care about this at all in her daily life.

She didn't care whether Xiang Yang was looking at the entertainment industry with a straight face or sideways.

Is the creative director of Top Luxury very good?

Others think you're awesome, so why don't you still call yourself "wife" when you get home?

Being so far apart, Xiang Yang and Little John naturally didn't know that their chatting caused dissatisfaction between Liu Qianqian and Laura.

After clinking glasses and taking a sip of the water in each hand, Little John talked about "Ocean Paradise" again.

It can be seen that Little John's interest in this movie has not been dispelled by the few words before.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but ask: "What benefits did Li Lianjie promise you?"

"What benefits can he give me? What I care about is the box office potential behind the movie." Little John rubbed his fingers and showed a very city-like smile.

"Nothing else?" Xiang Yang frowned and asked again.

This questioning tone immediately aroused little John's dissatisfaction, and he groaned: "It's really nothing else, why do you look at me so much?"

"Oh, that's okay."

Xiang Yang was very satisfied with his friend's attitude.

"By the way, he wanted to invite you to have a meal together and asked me to bring you a gift." But soon, Little John's words caught Xiang Yang's attention again.

"Oh, really?"

"I know you don't want to owe others a favor casually, so I didn't accept it for you."

Little John shrugged, took out a charity fund's business card from his inner pocket, handed it to Xiang Yang and said with a smile, "I guess I want to invite you to their charity party."

Taking the business card, Xiang Yang clicked his tongue.

The silk tissue paper, the full name and the phone number are embossed and hot stamped.

It would be nice if I still smoked.

Rubbing the business card in his hand, he glanced sideways at Little John, his eyes seeming to ask if you have a lighter?

"Let me tell you first, I don't have time to go, so don't try to put your idea on me."

Little John, who thought his little plan had been seen through, concealed his inner feelings at the moment in a serious manner.

Why did he refuse to help bring gifts because he cared about Xiangyang and didn't want to owe others favors?

He just doesn't want to be a 'courier'.
