Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 87 The Birth of "Midnight in Paris" (seeking for follow-up reading)

Fashion and film are inextricably linked.

The clothes, accessories, hairstyles, and manners of the characters on the screen are all exquisitely designed by the creators to stimulate subconscious messages in the audience, making each classic character appear so incomparable.

In the 20s, an independent clothing department first appeared in the industry, and it has been driving the progress of screen aesthetics.

In 1939, film master William Cameron Manzers (art designer, director, producer, screenwriter) was appointed as the art director of "Gone with the Wind" before the filming of the film.

In order to better assist the directors, actors, and other crew members at the time, a position was created - art director.

Based on different forms of artistic expression, the story of shared indissoluble bond is not just about the sleeveless little black dress.

Marlene Dietrich in Hitchcock's film "Sea" was a bright presence on the screen, presented by her and Christian Dior, as well as the bejeweled Grace Kelly in 1955's "To Catch a Thief", Brigitte Bardot in "God Created Woman" in 1956...

……

After dinner, the few people sitting around naturally talked about topics closely related to movies such as art, fashion, and Paris.

Everyone expressed their opinions, sometimes listening attentively, sometimes expressing their opinions.

Following the discussion in Paris, everyone slowly debated whether Louis Le Vau played a decisive role in the Palace of Versailles, or whether it was Charles Le Brun...

I saw someone sitting there like a good girl, listening to everyone chatting but never speaking.

Anna Wintour, who was drinking champagne, suddenly turned her head and stared at her and asked, "Liu, has Xiang taken you on a tour of Paris?"

Liu Qianqian, whose eyes were always fixed on Xiang Yang, was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips in despair, shook her head and said, "I just wandered around the banks of the Seine and went to the 'Cat Alley'."

"Oh, is it?"

Anna glanced at Xiang Yang, who had left a deep impression on her. During the chat, he, who had devoted a lot of energy to reading art-related books since his rebirth, left a deep impression on the other party.

When talking about the closely related history and art of London and Paris, Xiang Yang is always able to add some perspectives that everyone has missed.

At the same time, they will also briefly describe some places where they coincide or collide with Chinese culture.

Just like the sentence "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight" in Shakespeare's "Henry IV" and "Mencius" who are thousands of miles apart and more than a thousand years apart, "Therefore, when heaven is about to entrust a great task to a person here, he must first suffer." The wonderful connection between the mind and the work of the muscles and bones...".

"Xiang, this is so inappropriate of you. Your knowledge should not be used to show off at parties, but you should take your girlfriend to enjoy the romantic Paris."

"Yes, Xiang, what you did makes me really disappointed in you."

"Xiang, you actually let such a beautiful woman pray for good news?"

Upon hearing that Xiang Yang had not taken Liu Qianqian to visit Paris, everyone present felt a little restless, and the accusations made Xiang Yang a little embarrassed.

I…

I want it too.

No, it doesn’t matter that the French guys present are pursuing romance beyond their reach. Why are these two British guys joining in the fun?
Just when Xiang Yang felt a little guilty and licked his lips in embarrassment, wanting to say something, Liu Qianqian shook his hand, smiled at everyone and explained:
"Xiang said that Paris was a little dangerous at midnight. And he was a little busy during the day, so he didn't make time."

Feeling the softness in his palms, Xiang Yang responded gently and said, "Yes, actually I plan to invite her to stay for a while. Let's go to the museum together, and then go see the places where famous people have stopped. Of course, by the way Go enjoy some beautiful views.”

"Midnight in Paris..." Anna opened her mouth. She looked at her boyfriend Bill Nye, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is a good idea, a bit like that guy's movie." "Midnight in Barcelona"? "Bill reacted quickly.

Regarding Woody Allen, a man his girlfriend didn't want to mention, he smacked his lips.

It’s hard to say what happened to this person, and it’s a bit confusing, but there is no conclusive evidence for the key accusations... I can only say that there are indeed criticisms in his private life.

When the French people present heard people from other places discussing Paris, which they were proud of, the whole family turned their attention to JCE.

"Ahem." Noticing his family's prayers, JCE shrugged, "How about this, let's play a game. We use relationships as a team to see who can tell more about celebrities in Paris. The winner will be How about I develop a perfume for her.”

"Okay, that's a good idea." Xiang Yang smiled when he heard this. In this regard, he was quite confident.

Besides, perfume... He was stroking Liu Qianqian's soft fingertips. He had already thought of the name of the perfume... Well... he should have come up with it.

"JCE, it's not good for you to be such a scumbag." Anna did not agree directly, but rolled her eyes at her friend, nodded to Xiangyang, and said, "Why don't we form an alliance? If we win, I will give you two invitations to the Met Gala. ,how?"

"Met Gala!"

When Little John heard this, he quickly nodded for Xiang Yang. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Charity Gala in New York is an annual fashion industry feast.

An admission ticket alone costs up to 25000 US dollars. It is the most solemn evening party in the fashion industry and is praised as the "Oscars of the fashion industry"...

"Well..." After hearing Anna's proposal, Xiang Yang refused.

After all, giving an exclusive perfume as a gift to her who just got together is what he wants to do most at the moment. "Sorry, Anna, your proposal is very tempting, but I want my girlfriend to decide." .”

After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he turned his head.

As for Liu Qianqian, who was sitting sideways, the moment she heard Xiang Yang hand over the decision-making power to her, she knew that she couldn't help at all, her eyes gradually dimmed and her expression flickered with emotion.

The beautiful feeling of being cared for, respected, cared for, and taken care of by Xiangyang lingered in her heart, filling it up.

She replied without thinking: "I listen to you."

"I think..." Xiang Yang wanted to say that the perfume is better. After all, there will be opportunities after the party, but JCE's customized perfume is a very rare opportunity.

But before he could explain the difference, Anna, who was rejected by Xiang Yang and then Liu Qianqian, frowned and her eyes became sharp and mean.

The two little guys who didn't know what they meant were so affectionate in front of her, which really made her feel a little... and she couldn't help but sigh: It's good to be young.

Seeing her sudden expression, Bill Nye, who had been thinking about this sudden idea and the wonderful fun in it, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly:
"How about we add a bargaining chip here and get a role in a small-budget movie?"

"Character? Movie?"

"Honey, this is a great idea. A movie about the history of Paris can also be related to our fashion."

"You mean?"

"How about calling it Midnight in Paris?"
