Chapter 966: Lost in the East, Gained in the East
Xiang Yang finished his sentence.
It didn't take long.
Already full of topics, the 2011 Autumn and Winter Paris Fashion Week has become even more popular.
You know, Xiangyang and Little John are different.
Although both men work at Hermès, their positions, titles and influence in the entire circle are completely different.
To put it bluntly.
How can a nominal board member have any real value like Xiang Yang's words?
What's more, Xiang Yang directly brought the topic to the ongoing lawsuit between the two companies.
This is more topical than Little John's grievance against the pirates in front of the media yesterday. After all, even if the acquisition cases of Hermès and LVMH are progressing slowly due to the slow progress of the judicial process, they have always been the most concerned by the fashion industry.
In this regard, even if the pirate master scolds JEW a few times, it cannot compare.
But when Xiang Yang dares to say this, he is not out of his wits.
The media coming today all maintain good relations with Hermès, and what he said will not be misinterpreted and reported by reporters at will.
And even if he said it, so what.
Even if this kind of question is placed in front of Axel, he will still say this.
Give LVMH a good look?
Why.
With the momentum and volume created by H.Y.S and Hermès Film Investment Company in the past two years, coupled with the booming registration volume of INS and HYS community apps, the stock value of Hermès is no longer comparable to that before the suspension.
As a result, all shareholders of H51 now face the same dilemma.
Can be seen but cannot be touched.
Who would be comfortable with this?
"Mr. Xiang, can I think that your speech is also an expression of dissatisfaction with the long trial process?" A reporter held the recorder in front of Xiang Yang.
The subtext of his words is.
"I'm just talking about the matter. There is a lot of room in the market, and we need to go all out to face new opportunities and challenges. But there is no doubt that the lawsuit between us and LVMH has distracted the group's attention, which has also hindered our development. footsteps." Xiang Yang looked at the reporter with a smile.
how?
Think you are visiting Little John.
Still want to dig a hole for me.
Do I want to tell you that I have people whether it’s Lao Ao or Lao Sa?
Huh.
Macron, this guy, actually has two boats!
Pooh!
Scumbag!
After being interviewed by reporters, Xiang Yang kept muttering about his new discovery in a low voice.
"Xiang, let's go." After seeing Xiang Yang accept the reporter's interview, Axel came out of the rest room and suggested that they go to the hotel's banquet hall to attend the dinner together.
In the banquet hall, Little John was happily accompanying the important guests attending the event today, admiring several Academy Awards placed in the middle of the banquet hall.
Among them was Jacques Lang, who was the Minister of Culture.
Seeing Xiang Yang and Axel walking in from outside the hall, Jacques Lang immediately stopped communicating with Little John and extended his hand enthusiastically.
Seeing his move, Axel immediately pulled Xiang Yang to respond.
In France, some unspoken rules are also made explicit.
Compared to Macron, whom Xiangyang was very optimistic about, Axel was actually more concerned about the cultural director in front of him who was wearing a slightly darker suit and a pink shirt.
Not only because he has been in this important position for many years, but the key is that he is still in this position in his 40s.
Age is the most sensitive among all professions.
Especially those who are still alive.
Coincidentally, Jacques Lang has both of these.
"I was just telling Jean that we would provide all the help we can with the filming of "Les Misérables". I didn't expect you to come here so soon." After shaking hands with Axel and Xiangyang respectively, Jacques Lang smiled. said.
"Thank you for your support."
After Axel thanked him, Xiang Yang also said.
In a few words, the two sides seemed to have reached a consensus.
The main filming of "Les Misérables" will not be located in Australia, which has more tax advantages, but will be filmed in France while maintaining the authenticity as much as possible.
"Xiang, if you have time, I can take you to visit the old castle left by the Haoyagoa family. I believe you will be very satisfied with them."
Thinking that Xiangyang had recently purchased a castle on the Isle of Man, England, Jacques Lang joked, "Maybe you will also like Goulden's castle."
"."
Xiang Yang swallowed.
He has heard of Goulden and is interested but has no money.
no!
Anyone who has nothing to do will buy a castle.
"Dear Mr. Lang, how about waiting for the official filming of the movie to start and you and I visit this charming town together?"
"Haha, okay."
Jacques Lang smiled heartily.
Communication between smart people does not require talking about things in detail.
Based on Axel's statement and Xiang Yang's reply, the filming location of "Les Misérables" is basically confirmed.
It is no small thing to be able to keep such a large film investment in France, especially the overall revenue that this film will bring to the French film industry is by no means as simple as 200 million US dollars.
When it comes to industry, Jacques Lang certainly hopes that more local French film production companies can participate.
It would even be better if there were French actors in the film.
There are many well-known characters in "Les Misérables". Randomly name Jean Valjean, Cosette, Fantine, and Javert and give them to French actors, they are all
"Xiang, why haven't I seen your wife today?" Jacques Lang suddenly remembered this.
Fortunately, Liu Qianqian has a Chinese face, otherwise one of the roles in this drama will definitely be occupied.
"She is preparing to attend Fashion Week." Xiang Yang said simply.
Liu Qianqian has no shortage of exposure opportunities.
A few people were chatting, and not far away, Léa Seydoux, who accompanied Louis Seydoux for the opportunity to attend today's Hermès Oscar media appreciation party, seemed a little ready to move.
"We'll find an opportunity later and go there."
Louis Seydoux finished speaking in a low voice, and Léa Seydoux nodded slightly.
But the little moves of the two people were caught by Xiang Yang, who was chatting and laughing with Jacques Lang.
Without thinking too much, combined with the words of the person in front of him who strived to keep "Les Misérables" in France, Xiang Yang made a guess, so he nodded towards Louis Seydoux with a smile.
There seems to be nothing wrong with giving Léa Seydoux the opportunity to participate in this project.
As long as EMI is willing to pay.
On the side, Little John, who had turned into a transparent person since Xiang Yang and Axel came in, also noticed Xiang Yang's little movements. While Jacques Lang was communicating with Axel again, he leaned close to Xiang Yang and whispered: < br>
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you if you smile like this at other women?"
"Macron asked me to convey a message." Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and whispered in his friend's ear, "Your father is a man of great taste." "???"
JCE has good taste, what the hell does Little John have to do with him.
What a mess.
Little John rolled his eyes back, "Your skills in changing topics are getting more and more rusty."
"Oh, right." Xiang Yang chuckled. Anyway, he had already conveyed this. As for Little John being kept in the dark, that can only be said.
"You don't really intend to trade the role of Cosette with EMI, do you?" Little John, who was too lazy to argue with Xiang Yang, asked directly. He had personally witnessed Xiang Yang's decisiveness in exchanging benefits.
To put it into detail, it is almost non-negotiable.
"Why did you think it would be Cosette?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Let her play Fantine." Little John curled his lips and glanced in the direction of Léa Seydoux.
How do the French media describe Léa Seydoux, the "fair and rich beauty"?
It is said that she has the innocence of a child, French elegance, and a charming style.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
Tsk tsk tsk.
Look at this little word.
I am still the youngest son of Tangtang JCE.
Not as good as you.
"I'll bet you that she might actually be more willing to try the role of Fantine." Xiang Yang said, and then cast his eyes on Léa Seydoux for a closer look.
It's not the kind of lustful one, just a few simple glances.
After all, T.J will be the one to take over the costumes for "Les Misérables", so it's not too much to see what size clothes she suits.
As for why he was sure that Léa Seydoux, who was similar in age to Liu Qianqian, was more willing to challenge Fantine.
Needless to say.
Those who want to be good actors and want to prove their acting skills are like this.
The one in his family 100% thinks so too.
However, the fact is exactly the opposite of what Xiangyang judged.
In Xiangyang's villa, Principal An, who had been summoned from all the way, had just put the books he had brought on the table in the living room. He didn't exchange a few words with Liu Qianqian when he heard her expressing different opinions.
"I think Cosette is the most complex of all female characters."
"Oh? I'm very happy that you can say that." Principal An raised his eyebrows, feeling beautiful in his heart.
Unexpectedly, his daughter, who was influenced by his son-in-law, actually had the same view as him.
From a literary point of view, in Victor Hugo's masterpiece "Les Misérables", Cosette seems to have been shaped with thick ink into a lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained, but this is not the case.
On the contrary, the reason why Cosette is hailed as a shining pearl in "Les Misérables" is precisely because her character and the ups and downs of fate beneath her innocent appearance reveal the multi-faceted nature of human nature.
Her interpretation deserves more in-depth study than her mother Fantine.
"What are you happy about? Have you brought the spices you brought?" Liu Xiaoli, who was preparing a busy dinner in the kitchen, asked.
After she finished speaking, Principal An immediately no longer dared to discuss literature with Liu Qianqian.
"I've brought it with me. They're all in the car. I'll go get them right away." Principal An, who was still hot in the chair, quickly stood up and glanced at Liu Qianqian reluctantly.
Although my daughter is getting better and better, the Mu Xin and bosom friend around her are even more attractive.
After a while, Principal An, who carried two more big bags from the car and entered the house, smiled and placed the spices Liu Xiaoli needed for cooking in the kitchen.
Just as he was about to communicate with his two granddaughters, he was stopped again.
"What happened to the chef you arranged for Yangyang and Qianqian before?"
"Ah, this is the matter"
"President, please take a look at the response draft just written by the Public Relations Department."
LVMH's headquarters.
Bernard Arnault's office is brightly lit.
The huge desk is filled with various organized documents.
The global high-end consumer market recovered in the 2010-2011 fiscal year, but the uncertainty caused by the economic crisis still gave the luxury goods giant a "headache."
Fortunately, after surviving this cold wave, the performance of its major brands has shown strong recovery.
Even "soft luxury" products such as perfumes, jewelry, and glasses have exceeded expectations in terms of revenue data due to the high desire for emotional consumption.
It was just at the critical juncture of the 2011 Paris Autumn and Winter Fashion Week that Dior, its important brand, had a problem.
Perhaps, the decision to fire the pirate master was conveyed in a meeting within a few hours, which may seem very ruthless to the outside world, but this is what the capital market should do when facing negative equity.
At least, that's how Bernard Arnault sees it.
"Put it here first, I'll take a look later." He was immersed in various data and did not pay too much attention to the response to Xiang Yang's statement drafted by the group's public relations department.
In his opinion, this young man is still too young.
The consumption boom after the economic crisis is driving the gradual recovery of luxury brands, with brands headed by Hermès, Chanel, and LV being the first to bear the brunt.
Throughout last year, Hermès’ performance was the most eye-catching.
Even if the lawsuit is entangled, it is impossible to reach a settlement easily.
There is no reason to get back the money you spend.
And from his position, looking back at the lawsuit between LVMH and Hermès after the initial surprise, is he really at a disadvantage?
otherwise.
Now is the stage for major brands to adjust their market strategies, increase marketing investment, and expand in various regions around the world.
This lawsuit can prevent the Hermès Group from financing in the secondary market.
That, in turn, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for LVMH Group.
Even if the judgment comes down at that time, the secretly acquired Hermès shares need to be returned to the newly established H51 company of Hermès at the original price, but what about the timing of development?
How to describe it more appropriately?
Stopping flipping through the information, Bernard Arnault looked at the folder that his assistant had just placed on his desk with a smile on his face.
After a few glances, he nodded and said: "Let the public relations department issue it according to this."
Xiang Yang criticized LVMH Group in front of the media, and it was impossible not to respond.
How to respond depends on your skills.
At least it cannot give the outside world a sense that LVMH made a mistake in the acquisition.
This is what the public relations department wants to reflect in the speech.
But in Bernard Arnault's view, Xiangyang's performance shows that the Hermès Group is a little anxious.
A few Oscar statuettes may play a certain role in brand promotion.
But can it be compared to the newly opened stores?
Rather than increasing investment in movies, causing the funds within the group to become increasingly tight, it is better.
