Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 959 2011 Paris Autumn/Winter Fashion Week (XI)

“I strongly agree with this idea.”

Before he had the chance to teach little JoJo a lesson, Xiang Yang, who was pulled aside by little John to talk to him, agreed with Wang Changtian and Yu Dong's ideas after hearing them.

Although "Year Hare Affair" uses the image of small animals to narrate a period of history in a humorous way, it also depicts the "friendly" exchanges between countries.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to have it on the Cannes stage?
Just think of it as awakening the memories of the old area.

"Then I'll start arranging it, but I'm very curious about what kind of animation this is." Little John had no idea what the comic was about.

Based on his understanding, it was probably an animated film adapted from a famous work like "Les Miserables".

Of course, the cartoons he was talking about were serious.

It's not a secondary creation like the one in Japan that is adapted from the original work.

In addition to animations adapted from famous works, "The Little Prince" and "Despicable Me" are actually not the only representative French animations.

As for animation cooperation, China and France have already had a precedent of cooperation.

"Martin's Morning" was jointly produced by Shanghai Today Animation Production Co., Ltd., French Cartoon Animation Company and France TV 3 in 2003.

That is why there are quite a few names of Chinese creative staff in this animation.

Moreover, in the Chinese special edition, the protagonist Martin's hair was changed into three strands that are more familiar to the Chinese.

Surprisingly, this fun childhood comic, known as a brain-opening masterpiece, has a high score of 9.2 on Douban, but few people know that it has a strong Chinese ancestry.

"Xiang, I have a good idea that can add some familiarity to this animation."

"What?" Xiangyang didn't know what this guy was up to.

"Why not just use "Do you hear the people sing" as the theme song for the French version? What do you think?"

Without waiting for Xiangyang to respond, Little John continued, "And we have to use our French version, to ensure the original flavor."

"Then you might as well use it." Xiangyang rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He thought it would be better to use "The Internationale" composed by Eugene Pottier in 1871.

But after a pause, Xiang Yang grinned and said, "You can arrange it, but remember to buy a hardcover set of Les Miserables for my godson. I want to cultivate his love of reading since he was young. You are not so stingy that you are reluctant to spend even this money, right?"

"Don't they need it?" Little John was stunned.

"Boys and girls are different." Xiangyang raised the corner of his mouth. As long as Mu Xin and Zhiyin were happy, it would be fine. They couldn't even lie on the ground to read any famous books.

As for Little JoJo
As someone who comes from an elite family, shouldn’t he enjoy elite education?
"Then I'll just buy a random book at the bookstore at the airport today." Little John glanced at little JoJo in Laura's arms.

Buy something hardcover.

It’s not like there aren’t any at home.

Just buy any ordinary book in the bookstore.

Hardcover books are a complete waste of money.

Could it be possible that the publishing house could get Hugo to come out of the grave and hold a book signing event for the hardcover version?

"Xiang, I suddenly thought of an interesting thing. Can you help me analyze whether it is reliable or not?" Little John, who had figured out something in his head, suddenly had his eyes lit up and directly pulled his good friend Xiang Yang aside.

Although he couldn't call Victor Hugo, he had been in frequent contact with publishing houses because of the publication of "50 Shades of Grey" and Liu Xixi's "Time and Space".

But you can buy Hugo's handwritten manuscripts on the market.

In addition to those that are of historical research significance, the number of surviving poems, letters, manuscripts, etc. left by Hugo cannot be underestimated.

Except for prints with autographs which are very expensive, there are many that are actually not expensive.

Buy it for a small sum of money, cut it, and then...
"You even didn't let Hugo go!" Xiangyang was stunned when he heard Little John's idea of ​​getting rich. Isn't this similar to the idea of ​​some cultural and creative blind boxes that came later?

Well, this is indeed a project worth exploring.

You can even play with flowers.

Generally speaking, these manuscripts or handwritten works with unique collection value have long been circulated among private collectors or traded in auction houses and art markets.

With the rise of Internet shopping, ordinary people have the opportunity to participate.

After all, although these items have artistic and investment value, not all of them are very expensive.

But the emotional satisfaction they provide is actually mutual.

so.
"If I were you, I would do this better." Since he thought the thing was feasible, Xiangyang still gave his friend a reliable idea.

"Why don't you go talk to Karl when you return to Paris? He might be able to provide you with some good convenience."

"What do you mean?" Little John was delighted.

His friend was indeed very loyal. If this thing was feasible, he would even provide some start-up capital and he wouldn't mind giving some shares to Xiangyang.

Friends have money and can make money.

I don't feel bad if I lose money.

Look at how badly Bitcoin has fallen recently, but he doesn’t look sad at all.

Thinking of Bitcoin, Little John was glad that he had pledged his Bitcoin with Xiangyang before the big drop began, and felt that his vision and luck were much better than his friend's.

"You forgot that Chanel invested in The Great Gatsby. You can try it with this movie first." Xiangyang patted his friend's shoulder.

Francis Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is certainly a masterpiece, but both he and his work are far from Victor Hugo.

Since there is such a good opportunity in front of you, why not practice with it first.

"Haha, I love you so much, Xiang." Little John was dancing with joy and almost kissed his friend on the face.

I used this movie and this work as an experiment, and even saved the shares to give to my friends.

Oh, and House of Cards.

I almost forgot that the projects I was in charge of also included this best-selling novel which was about to be filmed.

Ok.

correct.

And Prometheus.

While there is still time, I should ask Ridley Scott for his autograph, and then find a publisher to turn the script of this movie into a novel.
The two chatted for a while, and little John became more and more excited and had no appetite for his meal.

"Don't forget to buy a book for JoJo." Xiangyang waved his hand, ended the topic, and quickly returned to the dining table.

While they were chatting, let alone Liu Xixi and Liu Xiaoli.

Even Mu Xin and Zhi Yin were well fed.

Seeing the bad guy who had just stolen his food appear again, Mu Xin's mouth drooped.

"Hey, who did you learn this ability to hold grudges from?" Xiang Yang reached out and touched Mu Xin's little head.
The 83rd Academy Awards just ended less than a day ago. The Social Network, one of the most popular films, was overtaken by The King's Speech in an overwhelming manner.

The news that Xiang Yang and his companions would only stay for one night before taking a special plane to Paris not only attracted the attention of domestic media, but also attracted a large number of entertainment reporters in Los Angeles who were waiting at the gates of the hotel and the airport early.

In fact, as journalists, they don’t care at all about who wins or loses.

Anyway, there is something to write about.

But to their disappointment, after the Oscars ceremony, it was only revealed that Hermès Film Investment Company decided to donate the Best Art Direction trophy won by "Black Swan" in the form of an auction.

Both the creative staff involved and the "Warthog" brothers of the victorious Weinstein Company have remained silent.

This kind of silence, of course, does not mean literally not saying a word.

Instead, they deliberately kept a low profile, and after congratulating and praising each other, they didn't say anything else.

Such a harmonious scene was not what they expected.

"I didn't expect that the popularity after the Oscars this year is not as high as last year. What do you think that Weinstein guy is busy doing?"

"What could he be busy with?"

The reporter who was more familiar with the producer said this with disdain, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Some of the private affairs of Weinstein, who had already become famous in Hollywood in the 90s, are nothing new in the eyes of professional Hollywood journalists.

According to gossip, even Angelina Jolie was once...
But it seems that this guy has a new target recently.

But as to which actress it is, this more experienced reporter will not easily reveal it to his colleagues.

To be a reporter in Hollywood, you have to have your own exclusive news.

Even the impoverished Spider-Man has to take exclusive photos of himself to make money, doesn't he?
"But given his temper, he shouldn't be so restrained."

"You don't understand this." After taking a look at the young man who had just joined the industry, the old reporter raised the corner of his mouth.

It is not convenient to disclose Weinstein’s new target.

But there are some obvious things that can be used to demonstrate one's professional level and experience in front of newcomers.

Besides his lust, what else is known about Weinstein in Hollywood?

It must be his bad temper and his wife.

Georgina Chapman.

The daughter of a wealthy British businessman.

In addition to this identity, she also created her own emerging brand called Marchesa, which specializes in haute couture wedding dresses, evening gowns and high-end women's clothing.

With the help of Weinstein's influence in Hollywood, the brand has successfully appeared on many red carpets.

But can the Hollywood red carpet be compared with the Paris Fashion Week?
Does the brand Marchesa dare to be compared with Hermès?
Stop it.

As long as Weinstein's wife still wants to make a living in the fashion industry, she dare not offend him too much.

So in the competition for the Oscar awards, Weinstein seemed to have defended his territory, but he also spent a lot of money on public relations.

Maybe Hermès Film Investment Company stopped its public relations work during the critical period after the Golden Globe Awards, or maybe the two parties had already discussed it earlier.

"Ah, it turns out there are so many twists and turns here."

Hearing this, the experienced reporter smiled pretentiously, "Entertainment and fashion are both circles, there are many things worth writing about, don't just focus on the things on the surface."

I just wanted to write something different.

But the public may not like it.

Not to mention American netizens who are nearby discussing this topic on the Internet.

In China, after a day of fermentation, the discussion groups on film and television related topics were talking about almost the same thing.

Almost all movie fans who are familiar with domestic Oscar-nominated films know about Weinstein.

But just like a novice journalist, few people know that his wife, in addition to being beautiful, is actually from the fashion industry.

So when detailed reports about the Oscar celebration dinner came out, Weinstein smiled and praised in front of the camera that "Black Swan" won the Best Art Direction award as an indisputable thing, and praised the excellent performance of "Intouchables".

Many netizens in the discussion group found this strange.

How come it seems like these two companies are competing fiercely for the Golden Globe and Oscar awards, but they seem to be wearing the same pants.

At this time, any article with a conspiracy theory would be reprinted all over the Internet in an instant.

It is extremely easy to find some connections between these two companies and make up some conspiracy theories.

Besides congratulating Xiangyang in front of the camera, what else did Weinstein mention?
"Untouchable".

Almost all Chinese netizens who like to watch European and American films and TV shows are familiar with this French film, which swept the global box office after its release in the summer of 2010.

On Douban, it ranks among the top recommendations for global movies in 2010.

And in the discussion below the movie, there are even reposts of reports from the outside world that this movie has been spotted by Hollywood producers.

Among them, the name of Weinstein Company was mentioned most often.

"Could it be that the remake rights of 'Time and Space' were also sold to Weinstein?"

"Don't spread rumors above. Hermes will cooperate with 20th Century Fox in "Time and Space". There is an announcement."

“But the official account said.”

"The official account also said that Xiangyang is gay. Do you believe it?"

"This is really possible!" (This message is accompanied by a photo of Zhang's group of friends as proof)
then
The building is crooked.

But before the heated discussion among netizens ended, Liu Qianqian updated her social media platform.

It’s not text, it’s Vlog.

"Hi everyone, I'm on my way to Paris with my wife. This little guy is called JoJo, come and say hello to your uncles and aunts."

What surprised domestic netizens and Liu Xixi's fans was that the updated content had nothing to do with the Oscars, and the camera only showed Liu Xixi's profile on the plane.

The rest of the time, Xiangyang was playing with little JoJo and talking about how he was about to rush back to Paris to attend the Fashion Week.

Well.
Are Oscars so unimportant?

Not even worthy of a mention.

The clothes you designed are nice-looking, but would you give them as gifts?

"I am very happy to share a joyful thing with everyone through this Vlog." In the camera, Xiangyang clapped his hands with little JoJo's tender hands and said with a smile:
"After My Altay is released in Cannes this summer, another animated film produced by Bilibili will also be released there."
