Chapter 301 Boy or girl? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
“Invite me to Chanel’s event?”
Xiang Yang, who did not expect Karl Lagerfeld to suddenly invite him, was surprised.
Is it because of Kim Kardashian?
A ridiculous idea suddenly popped into his mind after hanging up the phone.
Because Kardashian is the object of constant ridicule by The Devil Wears Prada and Lafayette.
Now through the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", after the Kardashian family gradually attracted attention through exaggerated disputes, flaunting of wealth and various topical stupid behaviors on the show, this The family received not only praise, but also extensive criticism and discussion.
In fact, the Kardashian family was first famous for Robert Kardashian, Kim Kardashian’s father.
Robert Kardashian was a core member of the dream team of lawyers in the Simpson case during the nine-month "trial of the century" and became famous for helping Simpson be acquitted. .
Kim Kardashian first gained media attention because she was the assistant and friend of socialite Paris Hilton.
Paris is one of the heirs to the famous Hilton hotel group.
He rose to fame with videos showing off his wealth, his life in Versailles and that aspect.
From 2006 to 2007, Kim Kardashian attended many large and small events with Paris Hilton, like a follower.
Paris Hilton followed the same pattern and became famous. With her "private video" with her boyfriend, she not only received a compensation of 5 million US dollars, but also made her a household name.
Then there was her proud big butt and the quarrel with Paris Hilton, which made the friendship of these plastic sisters fall into pieces and gradually turned against each other.
As for her later husband, Kanye, things between the two would not surface until the incident between Kim Kardashian and NBA star Kris happened in late August 2011.
Kanye’s full name is Kanye West, and he is a rapper.
It’s hard to comment on whether his musical works are good or not, but there are two things about him that have always been talked about.
One is the AirYeezy series of sneakers, a collaboration he launched with Adidas in 2009. The 'Coconut' shoe has brought huge returns to himself and Adidas.
Another incident is that in September 2009, at the American Video Music Awards (VMA) award ceremony, he rushed on stage and snatched Taylor Swift's microphone.
So.
Why are Kim Kardashian’s family ‘despised’ by most people in the fashion circle even after they became rich?
Even give it a wide berth.
In the final analysis, it is because of this family’s all-out hype skills that the entire fashion world is filled with low taste, a strong flavor of Internet celebrities, and cheap hype.
This is also the reason why Xiang Yang directly sided with Anna Wintour when he had never even met Kim Kardashian.
When you are involved with such a person, if you allow the other person to use you as a gimmick.
That will only get you labeled as a ‘cheap’.
After being directly pointed out by the product designer that Kim Kardashian was using herself to promote herself, and continued to complain about commentators here in the United States, Xiang Yang naturally made the news again.
"Xiang, look at your report, it's as lively as the "Tonight Show"."
Flicking through the newspaper delivered by the waiter during breakfast, Little John read it with gusto.
Xiang Yang also read the newspaper, which basically contained words of support for him from other well-known designers.
After all, for those critics who only know how to troll, Xiangyang is a person in the same trench, especially the phrase "You are so good, why can't I see you?" has spoken out for many designers. voice.
As for Kim Kardashian’s family, the mainstream media doesn’t care at all about what they say except for their fans.
One is because they are not popular enough now, and the other is that no one wants to be touched.
Xiang Yang and Anna Wintour even forwarded their comments about their family.
It was as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were despised.
“It’s not surprising, that’s how it is here, entertainment permeates every corner.” Axel, who was eating breakfast at the side, paused, picked up his coffee and took a sip and said:
"But we are here for business, aren't we."
"That's true." Xiang Yang nodded.
That’s enough. Leave the rest to other people to make trouble. As for yourself
Just show your attitude.
On the other side, Li Bingbing arrived in the United States.
On the day I joined the crew of "The Social Network", I saw that the American media was overwhelmingly reporting news about the fashion industry, and my reaction was quite good.
She was just surprised that Xiangyang's performance at home and abroad were completely different.
In China, he was scolded by Brother Xun’s fans without any comment, but in the United States, how come he was so strong right from the start?
It would be great if he performed so well at home.
Having deliberately planned Chanel's endorsement, she honestly hoped that the deeper the relationship between Brother Xun and Xiangyang would be, the more beneficial it would be to her.
After all, there is only one endorsement for Chanel.
“Hi, Li, welcome to the team.”
Andrew Garfield, who played a couple with her and had many rivalry scenes, took the initiative to say hello to Li Bingbing, “ Why, are you familiar with this designer? ”
"Hello, Andrew. Do you mean Xiangyang?"
"Yes, yes."
Andrew Garfield nodded.
"Uh" hesitated for a moment, thinking that Xiang Yang and others would come to visit the crew later, Li Bingbing smiled and said: "I'm not very familiar with him, but I have worked with his lover."
"His lover?"
"Have you seen "The King of Kung Fu"? It's in it"
The itinerary continues.
After the trip to New York ended in chaos, Xiangyang and others took a plane to California.
Compared with the reports in newspapers and media, what they really focused on was the upcoming trip to Apple.
Apple attaches great importance to Hermès’ visit.
In addition to the fact that Jobs was unable to welcome Xiang Yang and others because he was attending other events, Kate Coote, who had been in charge of public relations at Apple for 18 years, was appointed chief operating officer in 2009 and was responsible for global sales, manufacturing and Supply chain management Tim Cook is personally in charge of reception.
Compared to the former, Xiang Yang is definitely more familiar with Tim Cook, who succeeded Steve Jobs. After a few hours of visiting and learning about Apple’s history, before leaving, Tim Cook gave Xiangyang and the others a ‘mysterious’ gift on behalf of the entire company.
iPad, a tablet computer that will be released on January 27, 2010.
As for the mobile phone that Axel is interested in, namely iPhone4, this will have to wait until June 2010.
This made him somewhat regretful.
Co-branding with Apple is what he looks forward to most.
“I didn’t expect this thing to be so convenient to use.”
After connecting Apple’s iPhone 3GS mobile phone to the iPad, Little John felt very novel when using it.
"This way, it won't be so troublesome to read the contract and script in the future." He said with a smile.
"Yes, this design is indeed good." Axel sighed and looked at Xiang Yang.
Although he didn’t say anything else, it was just a look.
But Xiangyang knew what he was thinking.
"It's really embarrassing." Looking at the box in his hand, Xiang Yang, who had no interest in opening it, felt quite helpless.
“When working with Apple, it doesn’t matter whether we are co-branded or not. If you can get their authorization, we will have room to play.”
"What ideas do you have?"
"What idea is not important, the key is how to realize it."
Xiang Yang, who knew that the other party wanted to use the opportunity to increase the popularity of H.Y.S, gave his own opinion .
If it is a small manufacturer, what authorization is required?
Mobile phone cases and protective covers can be made directly.
But H.Y.S obviously cannot do this.
"Let me think about what to do." After adding another task to his notepad, Axel said: "Do you have anything else to add?"
"Of course," Xiang Yang nodded, "In addition, we also need to find someone to develop an App of our brand."
"App?"
After hearing this, Little John I put down the iPad and wondered why this guy is so concerned about things that only technology companies care about?
Forget about Facebook and Google before, after all, his father JCE also pays attention to this stuff.
But like WhatsApp, Tesla, and what other current apps
“Xiang, you don’t want to start a technology company, do you?”
Maybe it’s thinking Xiangyang went astray, Little John kindly reminded him.
After all, this has nothing to do with fashion design.
"I don't have the leisure time."
Xiangyang waved his hand, and then ignored Little John, but chatted with Axel about the thoughts in his mind, "If we reach a cooperation with Jiaming, they will Help us produce co-branded watches.
I checked the functions of their watches.
You see, they can upload the data to the computer and send it to their friends by email. Or coaches.
Then why don't we build an 'online sports community' where they can share their sports results and compare them with others
At the same time, you can also win our sports points to get some small gifts? ”
“Building an online sports community? "
Axel looked bitter. This was a bit over the top, and he didn't understand it very well.
"I guess what Xiang meant was to create a Facebook belonging to our H.Y.S or something mixed in. Twitter and the like, in order to provide H.Y.S members with an online space for communication and better services. "
Little John thought for a while, looked at Xiangyang and said.
"If you do this, it can't just be members who have come to our store to make purchases."
Axel suddenly said.
Xiang Yang smiled, how could a social app limit its customers to death?
“Of course it can’t just be our consumer customers. We can produce some small things that are closely related to environmental protection to cater to the future development of the market.
At the same time, by letting them participate in our activities Earn points and redeem these small gifts on the spot to attract more people to participate
This type of product must be closely related to life. ”
Axel looked at Xiang Yang who was talking eloquently, and kept writing down the key points on the notepad with the pen in his hand.
APP (technology), environmental protection, these are related to 'sports' It is still unknown what kind of market feedback the series' will trigger when combined, but the inspiration he gets every time he exchanges opinions with each other comes to his mind.
He has no choice but to deal with the Eastern market. The forward thinking is still the current layout, and the most intuitive feeling Xiang Yang brings to him is...
No wonder Anna Wintour wants to hand over such an important cover to Xiang Yang.
If these things can really be combined, the future development of H.Y.S must not be underestimated.
Xiang Yang is right, the idea is not important, the key is how to realize it
When he met Natalie Portman and Emma Stone, Xiang Yang didn’t even know What can I say?
“Damn it, you two have lost weight again”
After the cordial hug, Xiangyang directly complained about the two of them, which completely added to his workload, “Natalie , your clothes are already done. To be honest, if you lose weight, you will look a little out of shape.”
When Xiang Yang said this, he pinched Natalie's arm, which contained very little fat.
Natalie didn't mind this at all. While snickering, she looked at Emma Stone, who had been practicing dancing with her these past few days, and said:
"Emma The recent changes are the biggest."
"Then why are we not as lucky as Liu?" Emma Stone, who was teased by Xiang Yang, said jokingly: < br>
"Is Liu's health okay? Boy or girl? I want to be their 'godmother'!"
"I don't know yet."
Xiang Yang smiled, "Boys and girls are fine, it would be better to have both children."
"Have children both?"
< br>Looking at Xiang Yang, Emma Stone curled her lips.
Sure enough, men think differently from women in this regard.
A boy or a girl?
