Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 436 "Le Monde": The man behind success—Xiang Yang (please vote for me!)

"Mr. Xiang, this way!"

"Mr. Xiang, how do you feel about attending the opening and closing of Cannes in succession?"

"Mr. Xiang, may I ask about your relationship with Bea Shaffer."

"Mr. Xiang"

On the crowded red carpet, Xiang Yang and Little John stepped out of the limousine. Following the two of them was Bea Shaffer, who was wearing a red shirt.

Reporters in France and abroad were excited to see the three of them.

Here, in addition to Little John's high-profile appearance, both the well-established Bea Shaffer and the too low-key Xiang Yang are very rare to see.

Now that I have finally seen it, I have to try to get them to talk even though the opening and closing of the two movies are closely related to them.

Unfortunately, Xiangyang remained the same as before. He just smiled at the flashlight, took a photo with Bea Shaffer and prepared to go in.

"Director Xiang, what do you think of Fan Xiaopang's previous red carpet looks?" Just as he took a step forward, a local accent stopped Xiang Yang's steps.

Sixth princess?

Seeing the eye-catching logo, Xiang Yang grinned.

Hey, everyone is on their own, so don’t dig a hole for me.

But he could also understand the thoughts of the reporter from the Sixth Princess. There was so much quarrel over this matter in the country, and the debate between different people expressing their opinions continued, and even after many years, people would still bring it up.

One can imagine how successful Fan Xiaopang’s ambitious move was.

"Wait for me." After whispering to Little John and Bea Shaffer, Xiang Yang walked a few steps past and came to the reporter of the Sixth Princess.

As soon as he arrived, the foreign reporters also rushed over.

No matter what topic Xiangyang answered, they all wanted to answer their own questions.

But as soon as Xiang Yang opened his mouth, the foreigners were stunned because he was obviously answering a question from a reporter from his own country.

"The fact that it can spark discussion means that she has achieved what she wanted in some respects."

"Looking at it from another perspective, netizens can pay attention to brocade and embroidery, and then pay attention to intangible cultural heritage, which shows that our traditional culture can get the attention and recognition of young people."

"I believe that the feedback caused by the combination of traditional cultural elements and modern dress styles will better encourage designers to think about how to integrate the two more perfectly. This is the key to the future."

After saying that, Xiang Yang smiled slightly and prepared to meet Little John and the others.

However, the reporter from the Sixth Princess stopped him and said with a smile that he hoped he could talk more.

"Mr. Xiang, do you think too much negative feedback will interfere with creation?"

"how come?"

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "No feedback means failure.

I think as a designer, we should understand such feedback rationally.”

Instead of talking about Fan Xiaopang or Lawrence Xu, Xiangyang tried to make the discussing netizens pay more attention to the exquisite embroidery of the intangible cultural heritage and the cultural elements represented by the pattern itself.

As for actors walking on the red carpet, it doesn’t matter what they wear in order to attract attention.

If you're brave, you can wear it without wearing it.

Don't say it, it really does.

Foreign actresses who have spent money to attend have never been stingy about showing off their flesh in order to stir up buzz.

Even though tonight's closing red carpet is of high standard, there are also people who come to show off.

If we really want domestic netizens to see what the monsters on the red carpet are, the vast majority of people will no longer be surprised by the bizarre outfits worn by domestic celebrities on the red carpet.

Entering the interior of the theater, Xiang Yang quickly fell into busyness.

Sitting next to the best viewing position is Gong Li.

On the other side is the location of Anna Wintour and others.

Just from this seat, you can see how snobbish people in the fashion industry are.

Gong Li, as the host of this Cannes Film Festival, was invited to participate in the red carpets of various movies. Every crew felt honored to invite her to participate.

Because there are topics and attention.

"Ms. Gong, we meet again." As soon as he walked over, Xiang Yang extended his hand warmly and said hello.

"To the Director."

Gong Li stood up with a smile on his face. The scarf on his body slowly slipped off as he stood up, and was placed on his elbow. He smiled and said, "How is Sissi?"

"She is still resting at home." Xiang Yang smiled, shook hands, and quickly introduced: "This is Bea Shaffer, the little princess of Anna's family."

"I've seen it before."

While Gong Li smiled with crooked eyes, he also said hello to Bea Shaffer cordially.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Xiang Yang laughed.

Among Chinese actors, before Liu Qianqian, the only one who had received an invitation to the Met Gala was Gong Li.

So it's not surprising that she knew Bea Shaffer.

Just like she knew little John too.

"I heard that Qin Hao is very hopeful to win the Best Actor Award at Cannes this time?" A few people chatted for a while. After Gong Li took his seat again, he pulled Xiang Yang and started chatting quietly.

"Yeah." Xiang Yang nodded. Little John had revealed this to him, "I heard it was double yellow or triple yellow, but the result has not been determined yet."

"There is hope after all."

Gong Li pursed his lips.

The two chatted for a while. As more and more guests entered the theater, and there were so many familiar people, the theater became a vanity fair.

The noise in the bustling theater didn't stop until the movie started.

When the premiere of "Untouchable" ended, the theater was silent for a long time.

Until the two directors Olivier Nakash and Eric Tolanda, and the actors including François Crouse, Omar Sy, Anne, and Audrey Flot, added the film's After the producer team Bill Nye and Ning Hao appeared.

The theater instantly burst into long-lasting applause.

Almost everyone stood up to express their respect for the film team.

"."

The press team who had been waiting outside the door were surprised why the film hadn't ended yet.

Usually, people would walk out of the theater soon after the movie.

And now?

"Look, there are already movie reviews!"

The Sixth Princess reporter was very surprised when he heard the exclamation from his colleagues around him.

Before coming here, I specifically asked the reporter to report specifically on the movie "Untouchable" because China Film Group also participated in the investment of the film.

Strictly speaking, this is a co-production for a Chinese-language film.

Co-production means that this is one of our own people.

Looking at "Kung Fu Dream", which is about to be released soon, the promotion treatment it has received in China is simply overwhelming.

"No pity, no sympathy, no special treatment, is the most rare kindness in human nature."

"When the film came to an end in the slowly sounded piano song, my heart was difficult to calm down for a long time, and when I applauded and cheered at the theater, I suddenly remembered that the Cannes Film Festival could not be crowned for this good film." Or is it emotion? Maybe the Cannes Film Festival and his closing film interpreted 'untouchable' in another form."

"The story of the movie is very simple and pure, but the ingenuity of the director and creators is that they know how to get into people's hearts with touching, sincere, and not overly artificial. The last movie that evoked me was "The Last Wish" "List," but "Untouchable" goes even further."

The first reviews of the film were all praise.

The Sixth Princess reporter didn’t find it strange.

The film critics who are able to attend are all leaders in the film review industry, and they are by no means just ordinary people.

But this also means that they are sometimes more susceptible to public relations. Judging from the investment and producer lineup of this movie, the film critics who can enter the scene will not only look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face.

""Untouchable" makes the 63rd Cannes Film Festival full of regrets!"

After a long time, when someone walked out and was surrounded by the chairman of the film festival for an interview, the other person spoke with regret on his face, which made the Sixth Princess reporter frown.

"Yes, I deeply regret that "Untouchable" could not participate in the final selection." American director Tim Burton, as the chairman of the jury, also regretted, "But what is worth celebrating is that our jury does not have to fight for the award. The result was another heated discussion.”

"This year's Oscars have been locked in advance by a film from Hermès Film Investment Company. I think this is like a miracle."

Catherine, who came specially from North America to attend Cannes on behalf of Disney and North American distributors, sang with a high profile, "In the movie "The Untouchables", there is a discussion about skin color groups. I believe that North American audiences will also recognize this movie very much." intrinsic and correct values.”

"Correct values?"

Hearing this, the Sixth Princess reporter frowned in confusion.

Is it a movie discussing XX?

I remember that on the posters and promotional videos of "Untouchable", there was a new black French actor and a white French actor.

She shivered subconsciously.

Isn't it a theme similar to "Brokeback Mountain"?

That's too much.

Little John is really awesome this time.

Along with him, there is also Hermès Film Investment Company, which has great fame.

His presence in both the opening and closing films originally aroused discussion within the film industry, but after "The Untouchables" was released as the closing film, he became a shining light in the theater.

"It's better to be someone from the film industry."

Little John, who kept laughing and shaking hands, was moved.

The big guys in the fashion industry would only bully me, but people in the film industry are embracing me.

What is this called?

The east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested.

"It's not all my fault. Xiang also read the script of this movie in advance." Looking at his friend standing beside him, Little John tried his best to put away his disgusted eyes towards Xiang Yang and said with admiration in front of others.

Do you now know that you are a shareholder?

You don’t need me to make an appointment at this time?

at this time.

"Director Xiang, sir, thank you!" Ning Hao, who came down from the stage, squeezed his way through the crowd immediately, his face looking a little red with excitement.

How he came to be involved in the production of this film, he knew.

Is it really the opportunity given by Huaying?

Without the two people in front of him nodding, he really wouldn't have had such an opportunity.

It is not easy to be part of such a production team, and now from the reaction of all the filmmakers in the theater, I know that this movie may be more rewarding than I previously imagined.

The truth was just as he thought.

After the closing film, the topic of the Cannes Film Festival was not the awards ceremony the next day.

The entire Cannes sky was buzzing with discussion about "The Untouchables."

Starting from Cannes, and slowly extending to the whole of France, and then all of Europe, all movie fans who paid attention to the Cannes Film Festival were also very curious.

"Untouchable" made the 63rd Cannes Film Festival full of regrets!

This is what the chairman of the organizer of the Cannes Film Festival said.

Doesn’t this slap in the face of all other films participating in the film festival?

But it seems that his words resonated with many people, and many crew members who had confirmed that they would attend the awards ceremony also expressed their regrets for the film.

"Although it has a strong commercial flavor, there is no doubt that this film is a perfect combination of commercial and artistic films."

As the most vocal candidate for Best Director at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Mathieu Amalric called on every Frenchman to go into the cinema to watch "The Untouchables" before the awards ceremony.

Other French film directors have also come forward to express their views.

"Although I don't know the reason, I think Gaumont, Hermès, China Film and Television... yes, I think they should not let "Untouchable" miss the main competition in order to schedule its release as early as possible."

"Maybe that's the art of film. Whether it's inside a film festival or outside a film festival."

"French cinema is making progress"

Just when everyone was talking about "The Untouchables" and getting ready for the final day of the awards show.

"Le Monde" had a report on the front page of its electronic version:

[The man behind the success of Hermès Film Investment Company-Xiang Yang]

"Xiang, I believe that people who know something about fashion will not be unfamiliar with it."

"For a long time, the topics surrounding this young Chinese designer have been about his beautiful wife, his unhappiness with Oscar, and... But today, we want to reveal another layer of mystery about him for everyone. .”

"Perhaps it is the introversion unique to Eastern people. In addition to being very courageous in the face of love, his colleagues often use the word 'low-key' to describe him."

"While writing this feature, I traveled to various parties in Cannes."

"."

"Damn it!" Little John said with anger on his face while holding the Ipad in his hand.

Compared to Xiangyang, don’t I, Little John, deserve to be reported by the columnist of "Le Monde"?

What does it mean that even the CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company admits that Xiang Yang will make time to read the script every time before investing in a movie?

That's a compliment from me!

You damn Frenchman, can't you understand a compliment from a fellow Frenchman?

Watching the electronic version of "Le Monde" blowing the sun into the sky again, Little John felt like crying at the brain capacity of his compatriots.

I obviously did all the work.

"Just be content. Look, your name is on it."

Xiang Yang, who was also holding an iPad and enjoying reports about himself, had a smile on his face.

I really didn't expect that after the movie ended yesterday, Bea Shafia thought she had been standing next to Little John, and she would have such unexpected gains.

"Don't talk!" After Little John yelled at Xiang Yang fiercely, Laura frowned: "If you are jealous, just be jealous, don't make any noise."

"Oh"

Little John grinned, "I'm just jealous. What's wrong?"

Why don't people eat vinegar?

"That's right, you see when I was jealous of you."

Xiang Yang said, stood up from the sofa and walked to Little John's side and said: "Do it well, and then I will go to Axel to fight for your bonus."

"Don't think that I can be bought with money. In France, we also have a saying that a scholar must be killed but not humiliated."

Little John stubbornly moved his shoulders.

"Then don't forget it." Xiang Yang chuckled and pretended?

"That's not okay." Seeing his friend say this, Little John murmured, "Compared with Axel, we are our own people. If you take advantage of him, no one can take advantage of him."

After saying that, he grinned and smiled at his friend attentively: "You said so, right?"

"Hey, this is it"

Xiang Yang took a step back and made a gesture to close his mouth.

Yes, you asked me to stop talking just now.

"Xiang! I'm yours"

"Shut up, you!"
