Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 487 Men understand men best

June 8.

Xiangyang returned home early.

Liu Qianqian's birthday was very casual, but you must attend.

In the evening, except for the rare Principal An, Zhao Xin finally returned from the UK.

Laura also attended the dinner party that night with her little Jojo with carefully selected gifts. In the atmosphere where the three little guys gathered together without crying, everyone had a great time eating happily.

During the dinner, Xiang Yang was even coaxed to sing "I'm yours" in front of everyone.

After drinking and eating, the father-in-law naturally wanted to take his son-in-law and have a good chat.

Even though Principal An was busy at school every day, Xiangyang learned that he was surfing the Internet a lot when they started talking.

He knows a lot of domestic news better than he does.

"Zhang Manyu and Xu Qing were also invited to attend." Looking at the report on his mobile phone, Xiang Yang suddenly felt a sense of surprise.

Finally, at this year’s Paris Fashion Week, we can see Chinese entertainment stars with different styles.

I'm tired of it always being Fan Xiaopang and Zhou Xun.

Zhang Manyu is so good, she has an oriental soft and feminine flavor.

Xu Qing is the representative of a lady's temperament. There is a gentleness in her bones that makes people take one look and follow her.

And those two
The indifferent Xiang Yang said that it was best not to run into each other, otherwise everyone would feel uncomfortable while socializing.

Seeing his son-in-law's stunned tone, Principal An asked curiously: "You don't even pay attention to these?"

Xiangyang was very depressed: "Dad, I'm busy."

"Well, you've been busy lately." Principal An commented casually and then asked, "Are you also going to the Chanel show?"

"Ah, of course." Xiang Yang was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why, dad is starting to care about fashion week too?"

"That's not true." Principal An's expression seemed to be hiding something.

"Dad! You don't want to." Suddenly realizing that Xu Qing was invited by Chanel, Xiang Yang almost jumped up from the sofa.

Good guy, my father-in-law actually wants to be a thief!

No, no, is Xu Qing married now?

Xiang Yang couldn't figure it out and wanted to send a text message to Zhuo Wei to ask.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Principal An looked at Xiang Yang angrily and defended, "I'm just curious about what actresses like Sissi do when they are invited to participate in the fashion week."

Xiang Yang didn't believe this. He joked: "What can we do? How about I take my father-in-law to see it?"

"It's not impossible." Principal An showed a smile on his face.

"Actually, there's not much to see. I guess you won't be able to see her if I take you there." Xiang Yang clapped his fingers, "First of all, she may not necessarily be sitting with you when she arrives."

"Second, there are many VIP customers in the venue, and she has to take photos together."

"Third, I estimate that no matter how beautiful she is in person, her mismatched clothes will not be as perfect as you imagine, so..."

"The clothes don't match? Didn't you pick them randomly?" Principal An frowned. He remembered that his daughter had participated in fashion week before and posted photos online.

Those rows of clothes feel like they cost nothing.

"How is that possible? Basically, the brand is responsible for the outfits. The celebrities will wear whatever they give them." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "You just pick it up, it depends on the relationship with the brand, not your wrist." .”

I wanted to be embarrassed, but unexpectedly, Principal An became even more confused after hearing his explanation, "Then why does Little Fatty Fan dress so exaggeratedly these few times?"

"."

Xiang Yang's expression became a little weird, wasn't this talking to the heavens?

"Dad, I'm talking about the general situation. Most designers and brands don't like celebrities to be too showy at shows. After all."

After all, he is a "salesperson".
Xiang Yang, who almost said the wrong thing, coughed a few times before swallowing the words back.

Seeing his embarrassment, Principal An shook his head.

"Dad, drink water." Xiang Yang pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Principal An picked up the cup and sipped the green tea he brought leisurely. "I asked you to take me there because I wanted to get used to it in advance. During China Week, some celebrities should be invited to attend."

Xiang Yang laughed and ignored him.

Principal An taught with sincerity: "Xiao Xiang, this is the first time that China Week is held. I have asked my colleagues in charge of external affairs, and they still hope to attract as many people as possible to participate."

"When doing things, you have to think comprehensively. It would not be good if all the faces were white or black. What do you think?"

"So you are going to invite some domestic celebrities? So that international students will be interested in participating?" Xiang Yang asked.

Principal An nodded, children can be taught.

"Then just tell Sissi directly. She has many celebrity friends. In my case," Xiang Yang spread his hands, "your daughter knows all the domestic celebrities I know."

"I didn't ask you to invite them." Principal An rolled his eyes at his son-in-law speechlessly.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I mean, see if there are any friends who need this kind of opportunity. After all, this is a foreign matter, and style is here." Principal An said carefully, "You can handle this matter better than Sissi."

Xiang Yang sighed deeply: "You really make the best use of your talents. Let me take the blame when the time comes, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's drink tea." Principal An smiled.

Which is more important, Fashion Week or China Week?
Different people look at things from different angles and draw different conclusions.

However, compared to Fashion Week, China Week is much more solemn on some occasions, and the scope of inviting celebrities is also more rigorous.

At least, it’s not just about fame.

"If you want to invite Xu Qing, just invite Xu Qing. Why do you ask me to say this?"

Speaking of Xu Qing, the first thing many people think of is Ren Yingying in "The Swordsman".

Or maybe it’s her reputation that appeals to all ages.

But few people still remember that she began to be active on the screen in the 80s. Not only did she participate in movies, but she also appeared on the small screen with "Journey to the West".

"It's really weird." Xiangyang, who couldn't figure out why Principal An liked this actor, was still mumbling when he walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

"what are you talking about?"

After coaxing the two children to sleep, Liu Qianqian came over curiously.

There is still a milky and milky smell lingering in the air.

"I'm hungry" Xiangyang swallowed subconsciously.

"Be serious." Liu Qianqian frowned and wrapped her clothes tightly, and said angrily: "Don't make me unhappy on my birthday~ I'm warning you in advance."

"No, I'm really a little hungry." Xiangyang rubbed his stomach.

As he has been exercising every day recently, he has not lost much weight, but his appetite has increased.

"Then tell me what you are thinking about, and I will consider giving you some hot food."

"Wife, um, this matter..." Xiang Yang said for a while, "Don't be angry about what I told you."

"You agreed." Liu Qianqian set a premise, "As long as it doesn't go too far, I won't be angry."

"That's it." Xiang Yang still hesitated, but still spoke.

Upon hearing this, his father actually asked Xiang Yang to invite Xu Qing to participate in China Week at Fashion Week.

Liu Qianqian's reaction surprised Xiang Yang.

To be precise, it didn't matter that she wasn't curious, angry, doubtful, or questioning, she just rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang in disgust.

Those smart little eyes seemed to say: "That's it?"

"What do you mean?" Seeing her turn around and leave, Xiang Yang caught up and took Liu Qianqian's arm.

"She grew up in the School of Foreign Affairs. You can find out by checking it online."

"Uh, Baidu Encyclopedia?" "Yeah." Liu Qianqian nodded affirmatively.

With the intention of finding out more, Xiangyang searched for his cell phone and suddenly realized.

They are in the same circle as Principal An, and they are our own people.

"Do you know what it means that there are people outside, and there are mountains outside the mountains?" Liu Qianqian snickered, her eyebrows arched.

Xiangyang didn't say anything.

What else is there to say? No wonder Principal An is not very shy about Liu Xiaoli.

Maybe, these two mothers would even dance together.

"Then, which friend of yours do you think would be more suitable to come here?" Xiang Yang suddenly said.

There is no point in using him for nothing.

Not even if my father-in-law comes.

"Brother Xiao Ming, or Sister Bingbing, or Zhang Liangying." Liu Qianqian thought for a moment, and Su Chang and Yao Beina actually needed a chance more.

Especially Yao Beina.

Unfortunately, such an event requires a certain level of visibility.

"Then it's Zhang Liangying. She happens to also speak French."

Liu Qianqian was so happy that she could help her friend again that she almost stood on tiptoe, "Then let me ask?"

"Ask, I'll tell you then!"

Xiang Yang patted his chest and promised, no, there is still Hermès Film Investment Company.

"Hey, I'd better wait for your news~ There's no rush."

Now that he had made a guarantee, Xiangyang still communicated with Little John.

In order to prepare, I will use the name of Hermès Film Investment Company to invite Liu Qianqian’s friends to participate in China Week.

What if?
Don't let your wife lose face.

"That's it, it's a small matter."

Little John, who was still wandering around the United States, sounded relaxed after receiving the call.

In his opinion, this is not a big deal.

In order to run the film festival well, Gao Meng and CC also gave Zhang Mouzi several invitation letters.

"Xiang, tell me." Little John scratched his hair, "How about I invite Jing Tian and Mr. Lu to come?"

"Invite them both?"

Xiang Yang thought for a while.

"Yes." Little John nodded.

Supporting Jingtian is related to his reputation in China. Why can't he create some serious topics before the movie is released?
After all, I invested money.

"Okay, it's up to you." Xiang Yang felt that there was nothing he couldn't invite.

After a brief chat, he hung up the phone, put the matter aside, and called Bea Shaffer again.

If the assistant doesn't feel sorry for him, the boss, then he will squeeze his assistant severely.

Some people always say that Anta’s logo looks very similar to Nike at first glance.

But in fact, the logos of Guirenniao, Li Ning and Anta in China are the most similar to those of Brooks, one of the four major running shoes in the world.

A brand that was born in 1914.

The logos of sports brands are very similar, and the reason is simple.

Logos of the same product type all over the world are basically similar. Unless your logo design is particularly unusual, it is very likely that someone somewhere came up with a similar basic idea at the same time.

This is especially true with simple shapes, monograms, and visual metaphors.

Therefore, when it comes to logo design, everyone generally follows the idea of ​​"Talent is borrowed, talent is stolen."

Moreover, Nike’s logo was not like this at first.

If we really talk about plagiarism between major sports brands, we still have to look at the earliest logos of Adidas and Puma.

Linear elements are designed almost exactly the same.

But who said they were two brothers?

Therefore, once similar topics involving well-known brand logos are brought up for discussion, the most common question everyone asks is "In what year were you born?"

This is like "what kind of champion are you" in football.

It doesn't make much sense to argue about this.

The key lies in the hard power of the brand.

Does Anta have hard power?
It really does.

Regardless of the number of applications, patent market value, patent cooperation applications and patent layout, Anta is far ahead among China's sports brands.

Not only does it occupy 15.4% of China's share, it ranks third in the market.

In terms of patents alone, in recent years it has been able to compete with international brands like Adidas.

The first major segment of the layout of the two is still very consistent, both focusing on three-dimensional views and basic design.

The difference lies only in more detailed areas such as copolymers and composite foaming.

After all, companies such as Adidas and Nike have firmly established patent barriers by virtue of their first-mover advantages and accumulated thresholds.

If Chinese companies want to make breakthroughs, they can only develop new materials.

After reporting what she saw to Xiangyang one by one, Bea Shaffer saw from her point of view that at least there was a basis for cooperation.

"That's good." Xiangyang muttered.

That's what he cares about most.

"In this case, you and Anta's Mr. Ding apply for a time for us to officially inspect. It is best to set the date between Fashion Week and China Week. I have more money here."

"Why not invite the other party to Paris?" Bea Shaffer suggested.

"Then I might as well go to China to invite you in person."

Xiang Yang smiled and continued: "In cooperation with Anta, we only have the advantage of appearance design. In terms of production and sales, we need to rely on them."

Different from the cooperation with Ordos, when it comes to fabrics, fashion and luxury brands have a greater say.

Are you cooperating with Anta?
"Then Boss, don't you think it would be more sincere to take time out of your busy schedule to come here?"

"???"

Xiang Yang was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'll ask the company to arrange a flight to bring you back, okay?"

Hearing Xiang Yang's discussing tone, Bea Shaffer joked with an incredible sigh:

"Then since the plane is coming, Boss, it won't waste much time if you take the time to come. I have obtained your work schedule from Bella."

"A nest of snakes and rats!!!" Xiang Yang yelled in his heart, and Xiang Yang was speechless, "Where are you now?"

"I'm in Jinjiang and will return to Shanghai with Mr. Ding tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll think about it." Xiang Yang said calmly.

"Then Boss, you need to give me the exact information as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements."

"Okay, got it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yang couldn't help but take a breath.

This life is worse than when I asked Little John to be my assistant.
Sure enough, only men understand men!
　I have pictures, I’ll post them later.
