Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 432 Anna Wintour finds something for Xiang Yang to do (please vote for me!)

Anna Wintour.

The devil of fashion.

After starting to try the film and television industry last year, this year I visited the Cannes red carpet for the first time.

The topic in the fashion circle is naturally very high.

And this time, she also broke through the previous red carpet looks.

Wearing only a simple white shirt, silk scarf collar and a pleated skirt, she appeared on the red carpet.

Everyone knows that pleated skirt.

The whole European fashion circle knows this 'horse face skirt' from the Hermès 2010 spring and summer haute couture series.

"It's an honor to be invited to attend the premiere of "Legal Copy", the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival. By the way, I would like to thank @Xiang Yang for matching my clothes. @Liu Xixi, the movie you participated in is very touching. Bill and I like it very much. Thank you for the gift, young mother!”

Just when people in the fashion circle were discussing why Anna Wintour came to Cannes and how good her relationship with Xiang Yang was.

Lafayette, I'm jealous.

Anna Wintour has been a friend of mine for many years.

Xiang Yang, that ungrateful boy, went astray on his own, and even led Anna astray.

However, I wish "Unreachable" a success and I will enjoy it.

Lafayette said that he will be present at the closing awards film.

Good guy.

The old Buddha in the fashion industry wants to get together again?

Fashion media people who are familiar with this battle are all paying attention to this matter. As soon as celebrities from all walks of life heard about it, they immediately looked for invitations to the red carpet of the closing film.

There are not many opportunities to be on the red carpet with Galeries Lafayette and The Devil Wears Prada.

And to Anna Wintour's outfit.

After watching the movie and being interviewed by the media, the devil said with a smile:

"Today's heroine is Juliette Binoche. I just received an invitation from a friend to watch a movie. Of course, you have to dress comfortably but elegantly."

"Gong Li looks very good today. She is different from me. She is the ambassador of French tourism and the host of Cannes. Of course, she has to dress more formally to show the proper etiquette."

"Well, I appreciate Binoche's performance in the movie more than her clothes. I really like the line in the movie, 'The garden is in decline, but who can say it's not beautiful?', also I really like the way Abbas’s movie depicts the true and false aspects of love.”

They all attended the premiere of the film festival in person. When Xiang Yang came to the venue, he naturally also enjoyed the film Liu Qianqian participated in the production.

He was actually quite curious as to why Liu Qianqian wanted to make a romance movie after participating in this movie.

After seeing it, he knew.

Well, anyone who has finished reading a story like this can’t help but think about love.

Yes, it’s thinking.

Abbas's movies always have a strong personal style.

This style can also be called the ‘director’s private property’.

"Well, I like this movie very much. It's a heartfelt conversation through the foggy forest of emotions to explore the contradictory nature of love that seems fake and true, and seems gentle but cruel. I think I learned a lot from the movie. The trick to accompany your lover is to learn to accompany them without making things complicated."

In front of reporters, Xiang Yang spoke very frankly about his movie-watching experience, and by the way, he used scenes from the movie to prove that he had not missed every scene.

this.

It's hard to say whether Liu Qianqian will pay attention to the content of her interview.

He didn't want to get a failing grade after his homework was checked.

However, coincidentally, some Cannes film critics expressed similar views to Xiang Yang:

"This is a film about marriage, discussing the true meaning of love, and describing modern women. Through a discussion between men and women, Abbas warned young people not to blindly pursue ideal marriages and ideal love, and not to let 'fake' 'Perfection takes over life, but to."

"I saw "her" in thousands of widowed marriages, and I also saw Abbas' perfect blend of reality and illusion."

"Before the movie came out, I thought it was a movie like Under the Tuscan Sun until the end of the movie."

"Well, to be honest, I was amazed by William Simmel's performance and Juliette Binoche brought me to life."

"."

After the premiere, Gaumont directly arranged a grand celebration banquet.

The premiere was undoubtedly a success and very much in line with the artistic tone of Cannes.

Everyone expressed congratulations to all the creators of the crew.

"Xiang, this is the gift I prepared for Liu. Congratulations to both of you." Before the banquet ended, Abbas took a small box from his assistant and said with a smile:

“This is our country’s Khatamkari, from Shiraz, the city of roses and nightingales.”

"Ah, thanks."

After taking it, Xiang Yang had a look of surprise in his eyes.

When it comes to Persia, it is impossible not to mention Persepolis (Shiraz).

Its importance is a symbol of civilization just like the Forbidden City in China, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Taj Mahal in India.

It is the legendary capital in "One Thousand and One Nights".

It is also the hometown of Hafez, the Persian "god of the soul".

And this city has become synonymous with love and romance because of Hafez's lyrical poetry.

Of course Xiang Yang knew this city. Many of the books he had read had introduced this poet.

Well, for literate people, giving a gift can also draw lessons from scriptures.

But think about it, who would be stingy about showing their national pride in front of others?

"I hope you will like it too."

"Of course," Xiang Yang said with a smile on his lips, "Not only do I like it, I also like your work, it's very touching."

There is no need to brag about Abbas's films. He has won numerous awards and has long been recognized by World Cinema as one of the rare masters in today's world of cinema. The time when he won the most awards was also the period when Chinese-language films were enjoying great popularity in Europe.

The authoritative TSPDT website ranks him fifth in Asia.

Zhang Mouzi can only be ranked twelfth on this list.

Wang Jiawei was fourth.

The first, of course, is Akira Kurosawa.

You want to ask why directors who are successful in commercial films are not included in such authoritative lists?

Feng Dapao couldn't even make it into the top 20 on this list?

Because behind the obscure film are textbook-like camera movements, beautiful compositions, and more importantly, they created a film language that ordinary commercial film directors can only make people laugh at.

But Feng Dapao doesn't have to feel bad. Nolan, who was touted as a god in later generations, was only ranked 154th on the TSPDT list.

Nolan is only 130 places behind his predecessor, Spielberg.

But like any list, TSPDT is also controversial.

After all, as a world-famous movie database, it is only updated once a year.

Only well-known film critics and film scholars around the world are eligible to vote.

"By the way, I heard from the French TV station that your Hermès Film Investment Company is preparing some documentary projects."

Abbas looked at Xiang Yang with a smile and said with a smile: "I don't know, are you interested in photographing Middle Eastern culture?"

"Middle Eastern culture?" Hearing this, Xiang Yang cheered up again, "Of course, if I can cooperate with a director like you, why wouldn't I be interested in it?"

"Then when the film festival is over, I'll pay a visit and meet Liu by the way."

After Abbas finished speaking, he stared directly at Xiang Yang.

Of course, Xiang Yang agreed.

Having a world-class director join the "Tongue" and "Fingertips" series will undoubtedly have a qualitative impact on the documentaries of these two series.

Why not do such a good thing?

What Xiangyang didn't know was that although Abbas said he would wait until the film festival was over to talk in detail, when he returned to the hotel that night, he contacted Elie Saab, who had helped introduce each other and others to Dubai. ). Ellie Saab, who has a good personal relationship with Xiang Yang, is not as polite as Xiang Yang.

Call directly to ask about this.

"Xiang, just tell me, how much sponsorship is needed to make these two series of documentaries? We will pay for it."

"It's not about money."

Xiang Yang was speechless knowing that this guy was backed by 'oil dads'.

Are all the tycoons in the Middle East so arrogant?

Since the other party was willing to pay, Xiang Yang had no reason to refuse. After directly leaving the matter to Little John, Ellie Saab changed the subject and said: "Xiang, there is one more thing I want you to help with."

"What? As long as I can do it."

"You are so familiar with Anna, could you ask her if she can wear our Elie Saab clothes during the closing film?"

"what?!"

Xiang Yang was stunned for a long time before his dull eyes swayed.

Elie Saab and Anna Wintour don’t get along well!

Not to mention her, even my wife Liu Qianqian, who is as beautiful as a fairy, can't wear your clothes in the short time after giving birth!

"Saab, I'm afraid Anna won't agree." Xiang Yang pursed his lips and expressed his rejection tactfully.

"Hey." Ellie Sabo sighed.

It's not that he can't design for Anna Wintour alone, but it's too late to do it now.

Hearing that he was a little disappointed, Xiang Yang joked: "I have an idea, but you have to come in person."

"Well, you said."

"Anna's daughter, Bea Shaffer can wear it."

Thinking of yesterday, Bea Shaffer also came to the premiere. She appeared in a Chanel 09 Camellia Haute Couture dress. Xiang Yang felt that instead of having unrealistic fantasies, it would be better to start with the people around Anna Wintour.

If I remember correctly, Anna Wintour loves her daughter nicknamed "Little Bee".

From now on, she will be brought to every fashion week and Met Gala.

"Have you met her daughter?" Ellie Saab thought it was feasible and confirmed: "I mean, does her figure require me to adjust her clothes?"

"It's not a big problem."

Xiang Yang smiled.

Bea Shaffer has a very tall figure, so there is nothing out of place in Elie Saab.

"Okay, I'll leave today."

"Okay, I'll take a leave and wait for you here."

"Thanks."

Ellie Szabo smiled back at the rising sun.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yang was speechless. He wanted to spend time with his wife at home, but he was asked by his company to attend Cannes.

The result is the current situation.

Want to go back.

How can it be that easy?

"It's time for you to calm down, Xiang." During lunch, I noticed that Xiang Yang was in a bad mood, and when I asked about it, I found out that the young man I liked was worried because he couldn't go home to be with his wife.

As a woman, Anna Wintour is both happy for Liu Qianqian and a little dissatisfied with Xiang Yang.

Men, family is important, career is equally important.

"Karl called me this morning and mentioned you." She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiang Yang, and the female devil pretended to be more serious in her tone.

"What did he say?"

"You said you haven't had any decent works in the past year or so."

"Well that's true."

Xiang Yang nodded subconsciously.

For more than a year, I can’t say that I haven’t done anything. I have been busy with HYS.

Then

HYS is also part of my business.

Xiang Yang grinned and defended himself a few words.

At the beginning of a new brand, it’s understandable to be distracted.

Anna Wintour just feels that this young man has a kind of laziness in his bones, which makes people dislike him.

perhaps

"I'll find you an assistant, you need someone to keep an eye on it." Anna Wintour said, glancing at Annabelle who was shivering not far away.

Obviously, she was not very satisfied with this little assistant.

What does an assistant do?

Karl Lagerfeld can work 16 hours a day and complete more than a dozen series for 4 brands every year. Behind the scenes, his equally outstanding team of assistants cannot be ignored.

"I think Bell is pretty good."

"I'm talking about work."

Anna Wintour suddenly became serious and thoughtful:

"You are gifted and talented, and you are not like other young people who are complacent when they achieve some results. However, you also know that in the circle we are in, you don't care about your existence, and your existence will not care about you."

As she spoke, she paused, looked at Xiang Yang and said, "Although you have made like-minded friends like you and be willing to cooperate with you by virtue of your unassuming personality, this is the recognition of you by our small circle."

"Yeah, I know." Xiang Yang nodded.

"You know it, and then you don't do it?"

Anna Wintour grinned disdainfully.

"No way." Xiang Yang smiled and explained, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I have to wait until Sissi's body is almost recovered after giving birth."

"So what are you going to do next?"

"I I plan to."

Feeling that he was very busy, he opened his mouth to Yanggang, but it became stammering.

Little John is responsible for the movie.

He doesn’t have to worry about documentaries.

A series of things such as competitions, activities, joint branding, promotions, etc. surrounding HYS's brand promotion will slowly move on to the right track after the store officially opens.

Not to mention investing, it's not his turn to worry about at all.

like

I plan to watch the World Cup.

When this idea popped into his mind, Xiang Yang felt a sense of fear.

It seemed that apart from hanging around Liu Qianqian and the two little cotton-padded jackets, there was really nothing that I needed to do with special concentration.

Yes, even for HYS's clothing design, after the design team is gradually established, what he has to do is control the design direction.

"You let my daughter wear Elie Saab clothes, and you didn't get any benefits?" Seeing that he was speechless, Anna Wintour simply asked directly.

"Ana, I'm not that kind of person!" Xiang Yang frowned, "You know."

"So, this is your advantage, but it is also your disadvantage." Anna Wintour couldn't help shaking her head and commenting on Xiang Yang with a smile, then she cleared her throat and said to Xiang Yang:

"It's okay to ask my daughter to help you, but remember to pay her wages."

On the side, Bill Nye, who had been listening carefully to the two men's chat, couldn't hold back.

With a "plop" sound, the coffee in his mouth spurted out.
