Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 946 No Free Dinner

"Between liberty and equality, we chose fraternity."

After returning to Paris, Xiangyang, who had just got off the plane, did not throw all the publicity to Little John.

He immediately forwarded the report on the "Barrier-free Movie Viewing" event held in China from the official website of Hermès Film Investment Company through his personal social media platform.

By the way, let me quote a motto from the French Revolution just to please him.

Just slightly modified.

"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" is a slogan that has a very important meaning in France, and the colors of the tricolor flag correspond to it.

so.
The main color of HYS in 2011 is red?
"I didn't mean that in that sense in what I said." Xiang Yang objected. He was just talking about the facts without getting into any nonsense.

It’s just that the Chinese New Year has just passed.

The turmoil began.

At the end of January, everyone's attention was still on the two historic cities of Damascus and Cairo.

But just a few days after Valentine's Day, Benghazi and Tripoli, two cities that are not well known to the public, suddenly made the front page headlines of the French media.

Xiangyang's talk about "universal love" at this time naturally arouses people's imagination.

"Xiang, sometimes I really don't understand how you can analyze the situation so thoroughly." Macron called specially.

As early as in Damascus, the two had had in-depth exchanges.

The development of things was exactly as Xiangyang expected.

"Hey, I just happened to tell you my analysis because you guys were around, and it just happened to verify it." Xiangyang shrugged helplessly, "Really, I'm far inferior to the uncles in my family."

"That's true."

Macron pursed his lips.

Frankly speaking, there are people like Xiang Yang who are able to analyze the direction of events in detail.

But as he said.

Sometimes the stage for expressing your opinions is very important.

Moreover, Xiangyang's resume and background check are crystal clear. Since he comes from an ordinary family, his current achievements can only be attributed to his own talent.

The word "fraternity" is really the most appropriate at this moment.

No, not just now.

This is also a very important issue for the future.

"Why, are you thinking about my bottles of good wine again?" Xiangyang said jokingly when he heard that Xiao Ma Ge intended to come to his house to spend dinner with him in the evening.

People are welcome to come, but they have to help walk the dog.

"If we can also enjoy Liu's movie at the same time, I think this is a good suggestion." Macron smiled.

This sentence silenced Xiang Yanggan for a moment.

If you count the movies his wife has acted in on one hand, you can easily get them all.

There are only a few shots of them in "Midnight in Paris" and none in the French version of "Time and Space". They can't watch "The Forbidden Kingdom" together.

Then how could he still be in the mood to drink?
"I heard from Little John that Liu's movies are very successful in China." Macron took the initiative to speak after hearing Xiangyang's silence.

Regarding the reports about the release of "Time and Space" in many places in Asia, the French media also reprinted related reports.

After all, in addition to Hermès Film Investment Company, the film's investors also include sponsorship from multiple French luxury brands.

On the day of its release in China, "Time and Space" broke the record for the highest box office on the first day of its release, becoming the highest-grossing film at its premiere in China. This news is quite surprising.

In three days of release, "Time and Space" earned more than 3000 million US dollars at the box office.

This is no small return in the French film market.

"I'll wipe it."

Hearing this, Xiangyang was stunned for several seconds.

It turns out that not only domestic media know how to create gimmicks, but the media in France also do the same.

Whatever movie is released, it will break the highest box office record.
It would be fine if the film distributors were shouting about the water in this to attract more fans to the cinema, but why are the French media also doing this?

"MD, someone must have given him money to flatter himself."

After muttering to himself, Xiangyang quickly found the answer.

This is not something that Karl Lagerfeld, Nicolas Persson or the CEO of that Italian car brand would do.

There is only one guy who has this idea and is willing to put it into practice.

That is.
"Haha, okay Xiang, let's wait until we meet to hear you complain about Little John." Macron almost died of laughter when he heard the cursing voice coming from the other end of the phone.

But to be honest, this kind of publicity does work.

When the cultural section of France's Le Monde reported that "Time and Space" was released in China, Japan and South Korea, breaking the record for new films in the Chinese film market.

On the domestic Internet, there are indeed many people who have been introduced to it and have entered it.

Of course, not all the voices were praises.

But fortunately, the repeated marketing of "Time and Space" did not cause any resentment in the market, or perhaps this indicates a situation.

Just like haters and black fans, they will never disappear.

Just like Xiangyang, he could never do something like Little John did, spending money to flatter himself. He just took a shower after getting home and looked at the domestic statistics before his friends got home.

Forehead.
According to China Film Group, the first week box office of "Time and Space" has reached 1.204 million yuan, with a total of 51893 screenings and more than 400 million viewers.

This number will be higher if it can be pushed higher on the weekend.

Maybe it can really rightfully break the first-week box office record set by "Let the Bullets Fly".

"No wonder Little John has set his eyes on the copyright for publishing Time and Space." Rubbing his chin, Xiang Yang muttered to himself about the message Liu Qianqian sent him.

To her and Little John's surprise, Xiangyang had no objection to adapting the film script into a novel for publication.

He even felt that this was what he should do.

This is not only because he has the habit of reading. In fact, a long time ago, whenever Xiangyang saw excellent TV series broadcast on various platforms, he would go to the bookstore to buy the original books to enjoy.

because
It takes too much time and energy to keep up with the latest updates!
In particular, there is a TV station with a fruit logo. To follow their TV series, you not only have to become a member and watch the ads.

There is a charge for on-demand viewing in advance, and there is also a charge for watching the finale in advance.

Even the trailers are selling!

Instead of wasting money on this, you might as well buy a book and satisfy your craving first.

"What are you doing?" Macron, who was visiting his wife with chocolates and cakes from her dessert shop, found Xiangyang sorting things when he walked in.

"My wife's manuscript."

Xiangyang raised the corner of his mouth. These things were not sorted out to be handed over to little John, but to be collected.

"Say congratulations for me." Putting down the things in his hand, Macron came to Xiangyang and looked at him for a while before saying to Xiangyang mysteriously:
"The situation is not optimistic. You should be careful during the fashion week and don't let someone use it as a distraction to divert public opinion."

Hearing this, Xiangyang frowned.

Watch your mouth during Fashion Week.
Don't be picked up as a target
It sounds like this is the right message to convey to the Pirate Lord?

Wait, could it be that the thing that was originally going to happen to the pirates became such a big deal because of this reason?
If you think about it, it might actually fit in with some of the conspiracy theories.

After all, as a fashion celebrity, what he said does have a certain influence in the fashion industry. After offending the Jews, he was singled out as an example and criticized, which might be due to this factor.

After all, everyone knows who is behind the Spring Is Coming incident, and it is also clear who is the biggest beneficiary of the chaos in this area.

In fact, hating Jews is a very normal thing in Europe. Seventy or eighty years ago, if you pointed at someone and said that they looked like Jews, it was no different from pointing at someone in China and saying "My regards to your mother."

"You're not really going to make a big deal at this fashion week, are you?" Seeing Xiangyang lost in thought, Macron asked tentatively.

"No, really not." Xiangyang looked at him and shook his head.

At this year's HYS Fall/Winter Fashion Week, in addition to inviting some sensitive-looking people to watch the show, the theme was still as close to sports as everyone expected.

Skiing and cycling are two major themes that must be included.

New products for outdoor hiking are essential.

If there is anything new, it may be the official release of a promotion plan centered on promoting football exchanges.

However, negotiations and consultations for this activity, which was jointly organized with several French universities, had already begun half a year ago when HYS launched the football fund in China.

This fashion week is nothing more than a formal announcement to the outside world.

Of course, in addition to China, Japan, South Korea, the United States and some African countries will also hold similar events at the same time.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

However, in terms of funding and scale, it is far from comparable to Hua Xia, which is headed by Xiang Yang.

Xiangyang also has something to say about this.

China is a football desert and the system is immature.

The requirements of the Japanese and Korean football associations in this regard are too high, and there are still disputes over the scope and methods of cooperation with the Football Development Fund under HYS.

so.
Once our activities in China are successful and we have accumulated more experience, we will naturally promote it in succession.

Don't be in a hurry.

If you really can't wait, buy more HYS products and vote with the money in your pocket.

"You forgot that my father-in-law has experience in this area, and he also told me to be careful in what I say and do during this period."

Seeing that Macron was looking at him with suspicion, Xiangyang simply brought up Principal An.

I listen to my wife.

Naturally, you will respect your father-in-law's opinion, right?
"Then I feel like you didn't hear much." Macron curled his lips. He did not forget that the first thing Xiang Yang did after arriving in Paris was to post a "fraternity" update.

"We gather here in the name of fraternity. The power of love creates the most beautiful society."

On the way here, he had already thought about what arguments he would add when he discussed this point in public.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiangyang laughed heartily.

He had a better idea.

But forget it.

The song "YMCA" is so magical.

It’s inappropriate to trick Macron, as there are many people to trick.

But let’s not talk about it. When it came to the idea of ​​inviting the production company of Despicable Me to create an MV with the image of Minions and several fashion celebrities, French Lighting has already given a clear response.

Ready to cooperate at any time.

Universal had already sent the relevant contract before Xiangyang even landed.

Karl Lagerfeld, Gaultier, Elie Saab, and Pirate all get paid for appearing on TV, and so does Xiangyang.

Just twist your body in front of the camera and you can earn 300 million euros after tax.

This is the remuneration given by Universal Pictures.

Including Xiang Yang's, the total amount for the others is about 2000 million euros. This offer is much higher than the appearance fee of Hollywood stars.

The reason why Universal Pictures is willing to spend so much money to make this happen is entirely because the "Minions" IP, in addition to its own charm, can quickly achieve success with the help of the fashion industry.

Inviting these big-name designers together at once will increase the popularity of this treasure IP, which is a sure win.

"Do you really want to take the photo?" Macron looked at Xiangyang, then at the messy manuscripts on the sofa.

It feels like he and Liu Qianqian are hooking up with each other.

"There's money to be made, why not want it?" Xiangyang blinked and said something very straightforward.

Even Karl Lagerfeld and others agreed, so what was the point of him refusing?

What's more, this is 300 million euros!
Converted into RMB, it is almost 3000 million.

Only a fool would refuse with airs.

Besides, it's not him who is twisted, so he can just ask the director of French Lighting to arrange a role for him that sits still in the camera.

"Are you here to experience Liu's job?" Macron thought for a moment and asked.

"Cough cough."

Xiangyang has no big words.

Absolutely not!

He has no interest in being an actor.

"It's okay, I believe it, you don't have to be like this." Macron smiled faintly.

"."

Xiangyang got angry when he saw such a smile, so much so that he even felt that sometimes it was actually nice to have Little John around.

really.

Politicians are the most disgusting.

"By the way, when will Liu come back?" Macron asked.

"I don't know. She came back to film in Iceland." Xiang Yang glanced at her unhappily and said, "Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing. My wife's family opened a store near the school where Liu went to school. My wife said that we could invite her to visit the store if we have the chance."

As he spoke, Macron took out his wallet from his pocket.

I don’t know if this guy was influenced by Little John, but he actually carried a few free exchange coupons in his wallet.

"Here, this is for you. My wife's family saw the inspiration for your design for Costa and made some of them as well."

"Okay." Xiangyang took it in his hand and looked at it for a while without saying a single polite word.

The designs of these coffee coupons from Macron's mother-in-law are really similar to the free coffee coupons issued by Costa in France.

Ok.

That’s what design is all about.

You come up with something, and others can quickly come up with something similar after making slight changes.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about HYS’s mobile phone cases, which were also fleeced by Karl Lagerfeld.

If it weren't for their past friendship, Xiangyang really wanted to complain.

But after thinking about it, I decided to endure it.

"That's not right. I have to pay for food when I go to your house?" Xiangyang suddenly raised his head.

After hearing this, Macron awkwardly took out the receipt from his wallet and said with a wry smile: "You thought the cake I brought today was free."
