Chapter 129 He is very good at it (seeking for determination)
The two skirts were praised by Lafayette.
Xiang Yang didn't care about this matter at all... After all, he had been paid, a box of chocolates that tasted amazing and a handwritten manuscript.
As for those things reported by the entertainment and fashion media.
Xiang Yang felt that the media being interviewed was exaggerating and could not take it seriously.
At the scene, why were these Hollywood stars so enthusiastic about him... Xiang Yang himself also had his own thoughts.
They are not only enthusiastic about themselves, but also toward Little John.
If the meaning of movies is to create dreams, then the artistic significance of theatrical costume design is to realize a dream. The importance of serving Hua Dao in creating a classic film is self-evident. The details of the characters' clothing are an important means to reflect the characteristics of each character.
It is an important component of the overall outline of the characters in the movie and is also part of the charm of the movie.
Hedy Lamarr, Judy Garland, and Lana Turner's star-studded tulle dresses in "The Ziegfeld Girls" are costume designer Adrian's intuitive depiction of the dream...
"Xiang, I like your designs very much. When the filming is over, I'm going to take them home to treasure." Marion Cotillard said with a smile while meeting Xiang Yang.
A woman full of charm brings different feelings to men.
Especially because she is so charming that penetrates into her bones, even Xiang Yang, who is used to dealing with all kinds of women, has to admit that it is no wonder that she has become Dior's new 'queen'.
"Marion, don't be ridiculous." Xiang Yang raised his lips slightly, smelling the refreshing fragrance in his breath after hearing the compliment, and said: "If Mona Lisa had a smile as charming as yours, then it would It will be the greatest work of art in the world.”
Marion Cotillard smiled softly when she heard this.
Regarding Xiang Yang's compliment, she naturally knew what he meant.
The Mona Lisa... was originally the greatest work of art, or one of them...
But she had to admit that Xiang Yang's compliment made her feel happy inside.
Who doesn’t like to hear praise and recognition from the opposite sex? Even if they are complimenting each other in public, it is hard not to hear such sultry words.
With a smile as bright as a flower, she rushed to Yang and nodded, and she greeted Little John.
As for Xiangyang, he also started chatting with Tom, Colin, Benedict and others. Facing several British actors, after eating enough 'fishandchips', he naturally found a common topic, which was that they had been filmed in the UK. Adrian, who was playing, heard their chat and quickly got involved.
And some other less famous actors can only focus more on their own work.
Seeing Xiang Yang, who seemed to have endless topics to talk about with everyone, Liu Qianqian's shoulders dropped, but she couldn't blame him for anything.
"He should want to come to me." Noticing that Xiang Yang occasionally glanced in her direction, Liu Qianqian thought to herself, but felt a little uncomfortable.
Not far away, some reporters who knew in advance that there would be a stage visit today were waiting for the opportunity.
Among them were several journalists who came specially from China.
The start of filming of "Midnight in Paris" is the biggest gimmick in the domestic entertainment industry in recent times.
And this film was also regarded as a gimmick in Paris.
So many movie kings and movie queens came together to tell a story about Paris, which naturally aroused the attention of all parties, especially the Paris City Council and the French Tourist Board for this film invested by Hollywood and a domestic luxury brand. Sponsorship is of great concern to drive tourism.
So…
Well, anyway, this time due to some factors, Hermès, Chanel, and Dior, the world's three top luxury brands, feel that they have all lost their face.
Looking at the logos that appeared frequently at the venue, the heads of the three brands really couldn’t complain.
This is not a premiere, why is it so grand?
Although they also pay attention to the promotion of their own brands, this time they really felt the meaning of the idiom "If you are full, you will be a loss, and if you are too full, you will be a loser."
But thankfully, the original plan was not passed due to funding issues...
I don’t know which city staff member proposed a fireworks show.
…
A few minutes before the end of the parade, Xiang Yang finally got out and came to Liu Qianqian and Emma Stone.
"How do you feel?" When he said this, Xiangyang's eyes kept scanning around, trying to stay as natural as possible.
“Ah, that’s good.”
Seeing Xiang Yang, Liu Qianqian pursed her lips slightly, and the shaking of her eyelids showed that she was not telling the truth.
This made Emma Stone, who had been with her for a long time, suddenly have the idea that the two were secretly dating, which made her feel confused and excited.
The excitement of spying on a secret.
"That's good." Xiang Yang took a long breath, looked at the giggling Emma Stone, and asked, "What about you? How are you preparing?"
"I...I That's good. Haha." Emma Stone smiled brightly, her eyes kept wandering between the two. She could hear her laughter was a little loud, but she didn't care at all, "How about we chat for a while? ?”
"I..." Liu Qianqian hasn't finished speaking yet.
Xiang Yang shook his head and refused: "No, I have something to do with Little John. You guys have fun, see you in the evening."
"Are you going to do some work?" Liu Qianqian asked quickly road.
"Well, there are still some things to deal with." Xiang Yang smiled softly.
After he left, Emma Stone, who knew some of the little secrets between the two of them, immediately showed a confused expression and asked: "Liu, among the entire crew and actors, am I the only one who knows that you are dating Xiang?" ?”
Liu Qianqian lowered her eyes, "Yes..."
"Then, do I need to keep a secret?" Emma blinked, "But I think it would be a good thing for you if you two made it public. "Things."
"I know..." Liu Qianqian stared at the backs of Xiang Yang and Little John leaving. Emma's words did not reduce her inner pain at all.
Noticing other actors coming over, she straightened up and came to her senses, "Emma, it's hard to explain this to you in one sentence or two. My fan base is a bit complicated..."
As soon as she said this, Emma understood.
Liu Qianqian said ‘fans’, not ‘movie fans’.
Movie fans, drama fans, or music fans, they care more about your works. They care about the quality and your performance in the works. Fans are different...
"Liu, you should focus more on your work. We are actors and we have to rely on our work to speak for itself." Noticing that Liu Qianqian was a little disappointed, Emma's voice He reminded the other party in a small but firm manner not to pay too much attention to complex groups, "Some fans are very scary."
"I know." Liu Qianqian nodded.
How could she not know how destructive those people who hate her can be in some aspects, when she is so blackmailed and unable to hold her head high in China?
"Come on, you're off to a really good start." Emma gently patted Liu Qianqian's arm and encouraged her.
Her voice is a little hoarse and does not sound sweet, but her voice is always full of power.
She started acting at the age of 4 and officially debuted on stage at the age of 11. She has participated in 16 drama performances and improvisational comedy performances in the youth theater. When she was 15 years old, she used a 30-page PPT. To convince her parents that she wanted to drop out of school and become an actress.
But in the actor industry, it is never that easy.
Before she beat Rachel and got the role of "Midnight in Paris", she went through nearly a thousand failed auditions.
Sometimes, she wonders whether she didn't choose the right song when communicating with her parents, or there was something wrong with the title of the PPT. It shouldn't be called "Hollywood Project 2004", nor should it use Madonna's famous song "Hollywood"... …
On the way to JCE’s house, Xiangyang and Little John talked a lot.
"These British guys are really good at talking. If their players had the skills they talk about, they would have won the World Cup a long time ago." "Little John, let me give you a suggestion. Don’t mention the World Cup.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Little John said again: "Your attitude makes it difficult for me to make a decision. I will embarrass myself with you tonight."
"...Don't you insist on covering up for me?" Xiang Yangchao eyebrow.
......
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the famous restaurant La Coupole in Montparnasse, Paris, joyful laughter echoed through the summer night sky from time to time.
“All Paris gathers at LaCoupole~”
This restaurant, which was born in 1927, is surrounded by signatures and photos of writers, celebrities, politicians, and artists. This Parisian restaurant is also one of the filming locations for many Parisian movies, including Sophie Marceau's "The First Kiss." It records the atmosphere of this restaurant very well.
The crew of "Midnight in Paris" chose this restaurant as a place to have dinner before the opening ceremony, which also contains this romantic expectation.
Producer Bill Nighy hopes that this film about Paris will unveil the reverie like a first kiss.
Seared cod, creamy morels, crispy lobster spring rolls with mango chutney, seared beef brisket with truffle sauce...and a special beef curry. Well, basically no one at the dinner party thought about his self-admiring romance, and all their attention was focused on the unforgettable food in front of them.
Xiang Yang and Little John, who rushed back from JCE’s house, also proved this with their actual actions. Wine and food are the themes tonight.
Even Damien, as a director, is addicted to it and doesn't think about starting filming tomorrow.
In his words, he wants to learn from François Mitterrand (former French President) and eat well before going on the road.
As soon as he said this, someone burst into laughter.
Liu Qianqian and Emma Stone stopped what they were doing, curious about what this sentence meant.
Tom (Doeson), who was very close to them, saw the two ladies looking puzzled and smiled: "It is said that when the former president was dying, he was still clamoring for food. Food in this restaurant, and then..." He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile on his lips: "Then you understand."
"The last supper?" Liu Qianqian frowned.
"Absolutely, that's what it means." Dou Sen didn't know if that meal was dinner, but Liu Qianqian understood it so well that there was no problem at all.
"Thank you." Liu Qianqian thanked her with a squinted smile, and then looked at each other with Emma. From the slight trembling of their pupils in each other's eyes, they both reached a tacit consensus: this Metaphors are not funny at all.
“But that stinky guy smiled very happily!” Looking across a few tables, there were Bill, Damien, Marion, Colin, Benedict (Juan Fu, Que Ye), etc. Xiang Yang, who was sitting together with his eyes smiling, Liu Qianqian thought stubbornly: "Boring guy."
Xiang Yang, who rushed back from JCE's house, came to the party restaurant and exchanged a few words. He was pulled to the best position and sat down.
And their position is undoubtedly where the group of people with the most say in the crew stay.
Producers, directors, movie kings, movie queens...
Those like Dou Sen, who just won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer last year, can't sit there.
However, this distinct feeling quickly dissipated as the dinner ended. After the dinner, the invited band started playing. After a cheer, everyone present began to enjoy the last happy time of the night.
A glass of champagne found their home...
Xiang Yang also immediately came to Liu Qianqian who was enjoying the dance of others.
"The yellow skirt suits you very well." Coming to his girlfriend, Xiang Yang praised her enthusiastically, "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you today."
"Why, your French goddess Didn’t I invite you to dance?”
Liu Qianqian looked at Xiang Yang coquettishly.
"No, I'm invited." Xiang Yang smiled and said casually: "I told her I didn't know how, and then I came to see you. Where is Emma?"
"She went to the bathroom." Liu Qianqian glanced at Xiang Yang. The interaction between Xiang Yang and other people today made her feel quite choked up.
There is one thing Emma Stone said rightly. She really doesn’t care much about fashion, and she is used to having Xiang Yang by her side. Although she knows that her boyfriend is outstanding, she rarely Feelings like today.
Looking at each other today, either communicating with the movie queen, or smiling with that Miss World...
And it was someone else who took the initiative to find Xiang Yang, which inevitably made her feel uncomfortable.
People...have selfish motives after all.
Because the music was loud, Xiangyang leaned slightly towards Liu Qianqian's ear and whispered: "You can't blame me. I did everything according to the consensus reached with my aunt before."
"You ....." Hearing Xiang Yang take the initiative to mention this matter, Liu Qianqian took a step back, glared at the other party, and said dissatisfiedly: "Then you go and enjoy your surroundings."
Stop those words. , feeling a little uncomfortable, she raised her brows towards Xiangyang.
The moment he turned around and was about to leave, his slender fingers were grabbed by Xiang Yang, "Don't leave, there is a song I will order specifically for you later."
Liu Qianqian was surprised. He looked at Xiang Yang and frowned in confusion: "Can you order a song for me?"
"It's a very nice song," Xiang Yang pursed his lips and explained: "Aren't you always wondering where I got the courage to go to my uncle's house to pick you up that night? You'll know the answer later."
< br>Hearing this, Liu Qianqian lowered her head to look at her clenched hand, and then looked around. When she found that no one was paying attention, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "I won't listen, I don't want to know anymore."
"Are you sure?" Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows.
Just when I was about to say something else, the music stopped and the restaurant instantly became noisy again.
Xiang Yang, who had not yet received the answer, felt Liu Qianqian pull her hand away from her palm, and the expression on her face gradually became surprised.
Little John, who she knew and was familiar with, walked up to the band, took the microphone from the lead singer, looked for Xiang Yang with his eyes, and opened his mouth.
His voice instantly covered up the noise in the restaurant: "Dear guests, please threaten this damn guy. I will accompany him to sing a song for everyone.
Ah. ...This song once brought me painful memories, as well as helpless despair...
Damn it, Xiang, do you want to sing anymore?”
His words came to me in an instant. After being cheered by the crowd, Xiang Yang, who had his back to the stage, felt his face tense up instantly.
After nodding at Liu Qianqian, he waved to the cast, crew, and creators who were looking at him. After coming to the band and rolling his eyes at Little John, he cleared his somewhat tight throat, "Um...ahem...yes... Song, I hope you... you like it.
"Wouldn'tItBeNice". Thank you."
"Woooooo~~~~"
Xiang Yang finished speaking, excited. The cheers of joy rang out in an instant. How could a perfect party be without moving music and interesting performances?
Coming out of the bathroom, Emma Stone, who happened to hear Xiang Yang about to perform, came to Liu Qianqian's side with twinkling eyes, "Liu, it seems you have found a very good guy."
< br>
"Would...what would it be?"
"It would be sultry..."
As she spoke, the music sounded...
Many people began to move with it. The intro is twisting...
You can listen to this old song, it’s very nice.
