Chapter 48: Play Something Different
There are ten supporting guests, both male and female.
Designers have to decide the order by playing games, and then select the guests they want to cooperate with in order.
The designer who selected Wen Si is named Zhao Shuwan. As her name suggests, she is a gentle girl with a scholarly temperament all over her body.
She has waist-length hair, wears a white and green new Chinese-style dress, her skin is fairer than snow, her eyebrows are cold and picturesque, and she looks like a pampered young lady in her every move.
If she hadn't watched the past videos of these designers on the way here, Wen Si might have been confused by her appearance as a good girl, thinking that she was a soft persimmon that could be rounded and flattened by others. .
Just kidding, out of the ten designers shortlisted for the finals, eight are men and two are women.
If she didn't have some ability and temperament, how could she stand out among the men and become one-half of the minority group?
Wen Si was deeply impressed by her.
In previous videos, the program team once held a debate competition, and one of the questions was: It is clear that the majority of women are willing to pay for fashion, but why are the chief designers of most international brands men?
Designers are all talking and have different opinions:
"Because men know how to appreciate women's beauty better and are better able to explore their charm!"
"Because men and women look at problems from different angles. Sometimes if you look at problems from another angle, you might find more interesting things?"
"Because men are more bold. It is difficult for geniuses to appear in a group that follows the rules. They are all idiots!"
Only Zhao Shuwan suddenly raised his voice and said: "Fart! It's obviously because from ancient times to the present, most women have been disciplined, restrained, and enslaved, which has resulted in them being unable to concentrate on pursuing themselves like most men. dream!”
The debate started, and she did not panic at all.
She refuted all the fallacies of those with vested interests with reason and evidence, and the other female designers present applauded her.
She also became famous in one battle, and her popularity on the Internet has skyrocketed.
Thinking of this, Wen Si smiled and stretched out his hand, without concealing his appreciation for her: "Hello Shuwan, my name is Wen Si. I hope I can help you get a good ranking in this competition."
After all, only when the right to speak is in the hands of women who have awakened, can women's living environment have a chance to get better and better.
Zhao Shuwan smiled with crooked eyebrows and stretched out his hand to shake her hand: "I know you! You are the boss of Zhongyue Media. When I saw you on a variety show before, I dreamed of being like you one day. Create a clothing company and then become a beautiful female boss that everyone envies!"
"So has your dream come true now?"
"It's almost time." Zhao Shuwan said, "I have created a clothing brand called Qingyang Wanxi. If I can win the prize in this competition, I will not only get a generous bonus, but also go to Paris for fashion. week to promote my own brand.”
"As long as I can take this opportunity to make a name for myself, isn't it a matter of time to start a clothing company and become the boss?"
"Yes, I am very confident." Looking at her energetic appearance, Wen Si was also inexplicably full of energy: "Then let us work hard for your dream of becoming the boss!"
Zhao Shuwan: "Come on!"
After assigning assistant guests to each designer, the host began to announce the rules of the final: "This competition is divided into two rounds. The content of the first round is photo PK. The specific rules are as follows:"
"The designers and guest stars need to work together to shoot a set of fashion blockbusters based on the themes and props given by the program team within the specified time, and then select the most fashionable one among them for our fashion appreciators to judge."
"Each fashion connoisseur has five fashion coupons and can vote for his favorite fashion blockbuster." "After the voting ends, the top five will be ranked according to the number of fashion coupons obtained for each fashion blockbuster. The top five designers and guest performers will directly advance to the second round, and the bottom five designers and guest performers will be directly eliminated.”
"The content of the second round of competition is: theme design competition."
"The specific rules are as follows: The program team will allocate design funds to you based on your ranking in the first round of the competition. The highest-ranked designers and assistant guests will receive the most design funds. On the contrary, the lowest-ranked designers and assistant guests will receive the most design funds. The design budget is also minimal.”
"After receiving the design funds, you need to design a series of clothing and make finished products according to the themes specified by the program team within the specified time, and you must not exceed the funds issued to you by the program team."
"Three days later, we will hold a grand fashion show on this T stage made of endless yellow sand. We will also invite a hundred fashion buyers to watch the fashion show and start bidding on the spot."
“After the bidding ends, the designer of the work with the highest transaction price will be the winner of this competition!”
After the rules were explained clearly, the designers and supporting guests were taken to their own small tents by the staff and began to think about how to take the first round of hard photos.
There are two requirements given by the program team.
First, the background had to be a desert.
Second, there must be animals in the photo.
Zhao Shuwan is a senior ancient culture enthusiast and is determined to show the world the beautiful Chinese aesthetics with the clothes she designs.
So when she mentioned the desert, the first thought that came to her mind was...
"Let's take a photo of Dunhuang Feitian? I'm the best at this style!"
"Choose clothes with contrasting red and green colors. The bright colors will look particularly brilliant in a barren desert!"
"The makeup and hairstyle should imitate those of the Tang Dynasty..."
"As for the animals... would you choose between a horse and a camel?"
As she spoke, she drew with colored pencils on the white paper.
After a while, a design sketch was drawn up.
She pushed the sketch in front of Wen Si, "What do you think?"
"Dunhuang style is beautiful, but it's a bit too out of the ordinary. It has been badly photographed over the years."
"And you have been following the national style route since the first issue. After watching so many issues, the audience and fashion connoisseurs probably have no interest in the novelty."
"Why don't you try to break their stereotype of you and do something different?" Wen Si encouraged her.
"It's different..." Zhao Shuwan looked at her from top to bottom, and then fell into deep thought.
A few minutes later, looking at the design sketch that was redrawn according to the two of them's ideas, Zhao Shuwan looked worried: "This style is quite cool, it's the matching animals... Are you sure you can do it?"
