Chapter 135 METGALA (Seeking Determination)
On a hot summer day in May, Liu Qianqian bid farewell to the crew and headed to the United States.
I went to New York with Laura to attend METGALA, which is recognized as the most prestigious and gorgeous fashion event in the world. The people invited to participate are some of the elites in the fashion, entertainment and art circles. , participants will choose or customize their own clothing and accessories according to the theme.
This banquet was held in 1948 to raise funds for the Costume Institute and encourage local celebrities to become interested in fashion. Since it was taken over by Anna Wintour, then Vogue editor-in-chief, in 1995, it has become more popular. Shine.
Every year she carefully selects a theme.
Worth mentioning is 'Christianity and Art' in 1996, which showcased the influence of Christianity in Western art and fashion.
Then there was 'Athens and Rome' in 2001, and last year's 'Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy'.
This year’s theme is somewhat of a competition for beauty.
‘The Modelas Muse: Embodying Fashion’, - Models like muses: Embodying Fashion.
Anyone who is familiar with Greek mythology knows that Muses is the general name for the ancient literary goddesses in charge of art and science in mythology. They represent what is represented through traditional music and dance, that is, the poetry handed down from the times. Myths and legends. They were originally narcissus that guarded the springs of Mount Helicon. They often appeared at gatherings of gods and heroes, singing and dancing, showing off their charm...
"Liu, the clothes are very beautiful. And Laura, I can see that Xiang that little guy put a lot of thought into preparing dresses for you two."
Walking into the hotel, Anna Wintour, who didn't have much time to spare, came here specially. Take a look at the makeup looks of Sissi Liu and Laura.
She is willing to give this face.
After all, far away in Paris, someone was doing something for her.
As a host in New York, she would not be so stingy that she would not spare any time to give some advice to Liu Qianqian...and Laura.
Seeing the exquisite patterns on the dark pink skirt and Liu Qianqian's fair skin, after praising her, she smiled in front of two smiling young people and said:
"Confidence One point, you will be fairies tomorrow. Laura, let the stylist braid your hair, starting from the left side of the hair and braiding it to the right side to the ear. This will increase the girlishness and match your skirt. The color will be eye-catching."
"As for you..." Anna Wintour looked at Liu Qianqian. She originally wanted her to braid her hair and have a 'princess hairstyle' like Laura. , and then the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, just echoed the two skirts, but after looking closely, she denied her inner thoughts. Liu Qianqian's shiny black hair was not suitable.
"You just need to take care of your hair a little. Your body is more suitable for curly hair. Xiang's muse."
"Okay, we will go later." Liu Qianqian said repeatedly Responded.
After seeing this 'devil' who always wears sunglasses on her face several times, she is no longer as reserved as she was at first. And her transformation undoubtedly caught Anna's attention.
She remembered that the last time she started filming in Paris, Liu Qianqian was not so comfortable.
But she appreciates this change. How can a 'muse' be timid forever?
That’s not the ‘Muse’, that’s the maid serving the ‘Muse’...
……
"Marion, I hope to see your performance tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest on the plane."
On the set far away in Paris, Xiang Yang and his gang Marion, one of the important actors in the "Midnight in Paris" crew, had just sent away the crew's "muse". Due to her role in the show, she had to take a Dior plane to New York after finishing the day's filming. Attend METGALA.
Also leaving at the same time was Colin, who took Marion's plane to go with him, and Bill, the producer + Anna's boyfriend, also rushed there.
As for the remaining actors, they were not invited to participate.
METGALA invites 700-800 people every year. Not everyone who wants to attend can attend. In 2009, the fashion circle's grand event did not tilt too much towards the traffic circle...
"Xiang, you guys talk. I There are still things to be busy with."
Damien patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder and started to clean up and check with the crew. The other actors also dispersed one after another, preparing to return to the hotel to rest. .
Slowly, only Emma Stone, who always smiled brightly, was left beside Xiangyang.
Because of Liu Qianqian’s relationship, Xiang Yang and Emma Stone also became familiar with each other. In addition, the acquaintance between the two was already good, and they had a good impression of each other. friend.
Very ordinary kind.
“I’m so envious. It’s an annual event, and I don’t know who will be the most dazzling star on the red carpet tomorrow.”
Looking at the disappearing figures, standing in an old-fashioned bar Xiang Yang heard Emma Stone sighing at the door. He looked sideways and saw that the other party was looking up at the night stupidly, his eyes shining brightly as he imagined the scene where he would participate in METGALA.
Because of the familiarity, Xiang Yang couldn't help but tease the future Oscar-winning actress and Hollywood's leading actress:
"Then you should work hard."
"You have to work hard." Hearing this, Emma Stone grinned at Xiang Yang, and then said jokingly: "It's up to you. If Liu is not here, you can come to the set to watch the performance of Dior. Do you need me to report to you? "Just for a moment."
"Stop making a fuss." Xiang Yang shrugged. He just came to care after finishing some things.
The character Adriana played by Marion is a fictional character, and this fictional character is actually a representation of French romance in the 1920s from a male perspective.
She not only makes the male protagonist obsessed with encounters, but also tells the beauty of life as if it were a dream.
She can accompany you on a stroll through the quiet streets of Paris at midnight, enjoying the romantic moonlight. She can also sit down with you and talk about poetry and poetry, and even discuss the philosophy of life together.
At the same time, her charming wavy hair, melancholy eyes, elegant conversation and charming voice...
If you want people to be as obsessed with this mysterious woman as the hero is, you must naturally show her every appearance. She puts a lot of thought into her outfits, and even an inconspicuous handbag is specially designed and carefully crafted. For such an important character in the camera, Xiang Yang also has selfish motives.
He specifically checked the information and found an Eveningdress made by a Parisian designer based on Chinese elements in the 1920s...
And he came today just for this light green, Chinese rose. themed evening wear.
“I finally know why you want to play this role.”
Inwardly sighing with emotion at Marion's superb performance in this replica costume, Xiang Yang expressed that he understood why this American girl, who seemed stupid, was so obsessed with this character when she first came on board.
"Who wouldn't want to have a chance to try out such a good role?" Hearing Xiang Yang say this, Emma Stone turned her head and looked at the costumes being arranged in the distance.
At first, the character was charming, but now the heroine’s exquisite outfit is also captivating.
"Don't think about it, that dress doesn't suit you." Xiang Yang smiled.
Emma Stone grinned and retorted dissatisfied: "Why is it not suitable?!"
"Light green doesn't match your complexion, but that retro pink-trimmed white suit matches you very well."
Emma Stone narrowed her eyes, "The one for walking under the moon?"
"Well, yes." Xiangyang paused, composed himself, and looked at Emma, as if he was sizing up her figure, or thinking about something.
Emma Stone also noticed the change in Xiang Yang's eyes and frowned. She looked at Xiang Yang's deep eyes and realized that the other party had no dirty thoughts in that regard. She grinned for a moment and said: "Why, has any inspiration burst out from the great designer?" "That's not true." Xiang Yang shook his head and said very plainly: "You are more suitable for clothes in more elegant colors, light tones, which can make your overall appearance Looks more light and playful, not stupid.”
"Stupid?" Emma Stone was stunned at first, but she immediately understood what Xiang Yang meant. She glared at Xiang Yang with a pair of big bright eyes, and she grinned helplessly.
After a while, she said in a self-deprecating tone: "Xiang, not everyone is as lucky as your Liu.
You forgot, my first time During the audition, I was sent away with a sandwich."
Hearing what she said, Xiangyang knew that his joke touched people's hearts, and he smiled coquettishly, "Don't. So, unlike Liu, you will be more successful than her in the future."
"I'm not jealous of your Liu family. She is indeed very lucky." Emmas glanced at Xiang Yang. Tong smiled and said: "Luck is also part of success. But Xiang...what method did you use to make Liu show confidence? Teach me."
"Uh..." Xiang Yang was stunned.
"Hahaha, you don't have to say it." Emma Stone seemed to realize something, covered her mouth and laughed.
Xiang Yang had a painful expression on his face. He looked around to see if this guy's laughter had attracted anyone's attention. At the same time, he deliberately lowered his voice: "Don't think nonsense, I just told her some truth. "
"Haha, okay, I believe you." Emma Stone glanced at Xiang Yang jokingly.
"I told her to be more confident and let others know that there is a kind of beauty called Liu in the future." Xiangyang curled his lips, "Then if you want to hear me praise you, I will definitely say that, too. Your hard work and talent will definitely win you an Oscar in the future.”
Emma Stone expressed disdain. She was not Liu Qianqian and would be deceived by Xiang Yang's few words.
Although, it sounds like she likes it very much.
"Hey, you still don't believe what I told you." Xiangyang rolled his eyes at Emma Stone and said sincerely: "Emma, I really think you will shine in Hollywood in the future. , I'm serious. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet."
"Bet? What?"
"Bet that if you really win the Oscar in the future, you will win. Thank me.”
"Let's talk about it when I get it." Emma Stone replied speechlessly, and couldn't help but look at Xiang Yang's serious expression. She felt that Xiang Yang was not lying.
He seemed to firmly believe that I would become a good actor and realize my dream?
Damn it, I saw it right, this guy is very good at... very good at sultry.
Although she knew that Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian were dating, Emma Stone felt that her heart was still moved by Xiang Yang's simple and unpretentious words for a moment.
She suddenly felt that it would be nice to be...friends with someone like Xiangyang who believed in her so much.
"Well, if I get the nomination, how about you make me a dress?" Emma Stone suggested with a smile.
"Okay, no problem, isn't it just a dress? I'll satisfy you in every minute."

“These media are really…”
Will The newspapers in his hand were thrown at his feet one by one. Fan Xiaopang, who was annoyed because he did not get the invitation letter from METGALA, rested at home for a few days and turned on the computer early in the morning to browse.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, she will be even more angry when you look at it.
Even if it’s all about someone’s attendance at a fashion event in New York last night, it’s still… a ‘Hollywood actress’? ? ?
Also...a copycat! ! !
After attending the Elie Saab show at Paris Fashion Week, she really didn’t know what to say when she saw such sensational news reports.
Liu Qianqian's dress and the person next to her, she thought with her buttocks and knew it was designed by Xiang Yang.
I was at ElieSaab's show, but ElieSaab himself put his arm around his shoulders, chatted, and invited me to the headquarters. In addition, 'Lafayette' personally expressed his approval of her design a few days ago. How about going to copycat a dress for Liu Qianqian?
These media can't even write about black stuff. It's really...
Although chiffon evening gowns are a frequently used fabric by the brand ElieSaab, there are many gowns made from this fabric.
The two pieces made by Xiang Yang show his personal design style at first glance. They are elegant and at the same time show the unique sense of power of women through the subtle design of details.
Just the slim shoulder straps...
Damn, why does this dress look so good! ! !
Fan Xiaopang, who became more and more fascinated as he watched, couldn't help but puff up his face and stared angrily at the screen.
Why can't this guy give me a chance to show off himself like this? Is he targeting me on purpose? I saw that I wore their clothes at Elie Saab's last show, and I felt that Liu Qianqian would wear them better, so I designed a dress with the same fabric but a different style for Liu Qianqian to wear.
Why is this guy so annoying!
And this Liu Qianqian, why are you pouting so happily!
Are you happy that someone specially designed this kind of high-end dress for you? ! This dress of yours is just an entry-level piece of haute couture, okay? There are no sequins, pearls, or diamonds, just the embroidery design looks better...
But the more he denied it in his heart, the more Fan Xiaopang had to admit that he was jealous.
The designer specializes in designing dresses...
He is still a high-end women's clothing designer... He is still recognized by Galeries Lafayette...
He can still go hand in hand with Elie Saab...
Why am I not so lucky to have someone else design a dress specifically for me?
How can borrowed clothes be as good as these that fit your figure and are of high quality at the same time...
