Chapter 13 Earth and Fashion
“The Olympic Games emblem consists of three parts.” Qin Shaoyan pointed at the patterns on the paper and introduced them one by one, “The human-shaped red seal with the word Beijing, the Chinese pinyin Beijing and the word 2008 with a brush The characters are in the style of Chinese characters, with the five Olympic rings at the bottom. "
"There are standardized requirements for color and value, so I can't deviate too far. I wrote all the specific requirements on the paper."
Xu Xinlei glanced at it for a few times with a rather disdainful expression, "I thought it was some incredible design, but this is it, it's really old-fashioned, you know."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Shaoyan's face instantly turned cold. He stopped and said, "Ms. Xu, I would like to ask you what do you think is wrong with this design?"
"The whole thing is very old-fashioned." Xu Xinlei shrugged her shoulders and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Please, what age are we now, and we still pile up these elements. The Olympic Games are for the whole world. This design is not at all international, without any sense of fashion."
Qin Shaoyan said with a serious face: "Ms. Xu, this design was selected by the expert review committee."
"So what. "Xu Xinlei said with a look of disdain, "In my opinion, China has no aesthetics at all, and it is more than thirty years behind the international market. These antique experts you have selected have chosen low designs. "
"What kind of seal and engraving is this? Who still uses this kind of thing nowadays? And this brush calligraphy is too backward. It's better to change it to English cursive calligraphy."
"Just take it out like this If you look at it in the international fashion world, people will laugh out loud.”
"Ms. Xu, you are going too far." Qin Shaoyan said with a cold face and very displeased.
Tian Qingmin remained silent at this time, seeming to feel a little embarrassed.
But those shining eyes kept turning back and forth on the faces of Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Pingyi.
"I don't think what I said is excessive. I am a professional designer. I have studied in France for five years and worked in Hong Kong and Taiwan for ten years." Xu Xinlei raised her chin with pride, "I My professional vision is recognized by my colleagues. In my opinion, this is just a bunch of fun.”
Qin Shaoyan suddenly smiled, “Then, does Ms. Xu think it would be better to remove all these Chinese elements?” .”
"Absolutely. If I were asked to design, I would choose those more top elements that are in line with the latest international fashion..." Xu Xinlei began to talk non-stop.
"Ms. Xu." Qin Shaoyan said with a sullen face, directly interrupting Xu Xinlei, "What do you think of Japanese cultural elements?"
"Japanese." Xu Xinlei's eyes lit up. "Although Japan belongs to East Asia, its fashion elements are still very good. Many of my friends like to use Japanese elements in design."
Qin Shaoyan suddenly laughed, "Well, like Japan The cherry blossoms, and the Ukiyo-e Kasumi patterns..."
"Yes, yes, you know it quite well." Xu Xinlei became more and more interested as she spoke, "There are many things in Japan that are very good. Oh.”
Qin Shaoyan nodded in agreement, "I have been to Japan, and the people there are very interesting. They all like to use seals."
"Yes, yes, they use seals with a sense of ritual. Everyone has their own seal. "Xu Xinlei couldn't help but start explaining again.
"What do you think of Japan's seals?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.
"Uh..." Xu Xinlei didn't react for a moment and opened her mouth without saying anything.
"Oh, it seems you don't think it's vulgar." Qin Shaoyan sneered, "Then why does it feel vulgar when it's replaced by a Chinese seal?"
"Why is China's stuff just rubbish, while other people's stuff is fashionable and high-end?"
Xu Xinlei, who was attacked by a sneak attack, was a little angry, her face turned red, and she stammered, "You, you... me, me... You and I don't know anything and are too lazy to waste words."
Qin Shaoyan stood up from the sofa, looked down at Xu Xinlei, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Every Olympic Games emblem design must have a venue. The unique mark, judging from the previous designs, has distinct cultural elements of the host country.”
“Old, but it is our own thing”
“This time the emblem design. Not only domestic designers, but also top designers from Europe and the United States participated, and the experts on the jury were also invited from the international community." Qin Shaoyan sneered, "Haha, Ms. Xu, do you think the European and American masters have a different vision? Not as good as you?”
"Hmm..." Xu Xinlei was like a duck being strangled by the neck, her face turned red from holding back, and she didn't know what to say for a long time. "Internationally popular fashions are not water without roots. They first become popular in a certain place and then spread further. From the beginning, they have a distinctive and unique local cultural style."
"There have never been any international popular elements, only unique cultural elements."
"Ms. Xu, remember." Qin Shaoyan said word by word, "What belongs to the nation belongs to the world."< br>
After speaking, Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Tian Qingmin, "Mr. Tian, if all the designers in your company are like this, I don't think we need to cooperate anymore."
"Xiao Zhang, let's go."
Qin Shaoyan stepped forward and walked towards the door of the office. Zhang Minyi followed closely with a sullen face without saying a word, carrying his bag.
Tian Qingmin was sitting blankly on the chair at this time, seemingly not reacting yet, just watching the two people walking out.
Qin Shaoyan got closer and closer to the door step by step, but he became more and more nervous.
Fuck, why doesn’t this old fox come up and pull me away?
If you don't pull me, I will really leave.
Would you like to stop and say a few words when you get to the door?
Qin Shaoyan's hand hadn't touched the door handle yet, and he was about to hesitate about how to open his mouth
Suddenly, Tian Qingmin's butt seemed to be sitting on a spring, and he jumped over from the chair with a few steps. Just blocked Qin Shaoyan's way.
"Oh, look at what happened here, how many people have been offended." Tian Qingmin said with a look of fear, "A woman has long hair and short knowledge. Chief Qin must not be as knowledgeable as her. I’ll be the host later and apologize to you.”
After saying that, Tian Qingmin turned to look at Xu Xinlei, "Why don't you get out and work."
"You...hum!" Xu Xinlei stood up from the chair with a dark face, stamped her feet, and walked out angrily. office.
Tian Qingmin didn't care and shouted directly to his secretary: "Go, call the driver, call Tianyue Restaurant, and book me the best box."
"Oh, Mr. Tian, this..." Qin Shaoyan hurriedly objected, "This hospitality is beyond the standard."
"As the locals do, you just follow my arrangements. Isn't it just a meal? Isn't this too? Violating discipline?" Tian Qingmin said with a smile.
"Well, we have rules..." Qin Shaoyan was a little embarrassed.
"I understand, four dishes and one soup." Tian Qingmin patted his chest.
……
Tianyue Restaurant.
At this time, Wang Dalin, the boss of Huarong Clothing, was changing glasses in a luxurious private room, half drunk.
Several bank executives at the banquet were having cordial exchanges with female public relations people, and they were all acting wildly.
Wang Dalin was smiling and socializing carefully, when suddenly the cell phone on his waist rang.
He apologized, went out and answered the phone, and his expression changed before he heard a word.
"What? Are you sure you are from Yanjing?"
