Chapter 432 Anna Wintour finds something for Xiang Yang to do (please vote!)
Anna Wintour.
The devil in the fashion world.
After starting to try the film and television industry last year, this year I visited the Cannes red carpet for the first time.
The topic in the fashion circle is naturally very high.
And this time, she also broke through the previous red carpet looks.
Wearing only a simple white shirt, silk scarf collar and a pleated skirt, she appeared on the red carpet.
Everyone knows that pleated skirt.
The whole European fashion circle is familiar with this 'horse face skirt' from the Hermès 2010 spring and summer haute couture series.
“I am honored to be invited to attend the premiere of the opening film "Legal Copy" at the Cannes Film Festival. By the way, I would like to thank @XiangYang for matching my clothes. @LiuXixi, the movie you participated in is very touching. Bill and I I like them all. Thank you for the gift, young mother!”
Just when people in the fashion circle were discussing why Anna Wintour came to Cannes and how good her relationship with Xiang Yang was.
Lafayette, I’m jealous.
Anna Wintour has been a friend of mine for many years.
Xiang Yang, that boy who is not doing his job properly, has gone astray, and even led Anna astray.
However, I wish "Untouchable" a success and I will enjoy it.
Lafayette said that he will be present at the closing awards film.
Good guys.
The old Buddha in the fashion industry wants to get together again?
People in the fashion media who are familiar with this battle are all paying attention to this matter. When celebrities from all walks of life heard about it, they immediately looked for invitations to the red carpet of the closing film.
There are not many opportunities to be on the red carpet with Galeries Lafayette and The Devil Wears Prada.
As for Anna Wintour’s dress.
After watching the movie and being interviewed by the media, the Devil Wears Prada smiled directly and said:
“Today’s heroine is Juliet. Binoche, I just received an invitation from a friend to watch a movie. Of course, it’s okay to dress comfortably but elegantly.”
“Gong Li looks very good today. She is different from me. She is the ambassador of French tourism and the host of Cannes. Of course, she has to dress more formally to show the proper etiquette."
"Well, compared to Binoche's clothes, I prefer them. Appreciate her performance in the movie. I really like the line in this movie, 'The garden is depressed, but who can say it's not beautiful? Description"
They all attended the premiere of the film festival in person. When Xiang Yang came to the venue, he naturally also enjoyed the film Liu Qianqian participated in the production.
He was actually quite curious as to why Liu Qianqian wanted to make a romance movie after participating in this movie.
After seeing it, he knew.
Well, anyone who has read this story can’t help but think about love.
Yes, it’s thinking.
Abbas's movies always have a strong personal style.
This style can also be called the ‘director’s private property’.
“Well, I like this movie very much. It’s a heartfelt conversation through the foggy forest of emotions to explore the contradictory nature of love that seems fake yet true, seemingly gentle yet cruel. I think, I I learned a lot of skills in accompanying my lover from the movie, which is to learn to accompany my lover without making things complicated.”
In front of reporters, Xiangyang expressed his views very straightforwardly. Movie experience, and by the way, I used scenes from the movie to prove that I didn’t miss every scene.
This.
It's hard to say whether Liu Qianqian will pay attention to the content of her interview.
He didn’t want to get a failing grade after his homework was checked.
However, coincidentally, some film critics at Cannes expressed similar views to Xiang Yang:
“This is a film about marriage, discussing the true meaning of love, and describing modern women. Abba Through a discussion between men and women, Si warned young people not to blindly pursue ideal marriage and ideal love, not to let 'fake' perfection occupy their lives, but to..."
"I think "She", who has been in thousands of widowed marriages, also saw Abbas's perfect blend of reality and illusion."
"Before the movie came out, I thought it was a film like Under the Tuscan Sun, until the end of the movie."
"Well, to be honest, William Simmel's I was amazed by the performance, and Juliette Binoche brought me into life."
"."
After the premiere, Gaumont arranged it directly. A grand celebration banquet.
The premiere was undoubtedly a success and very much in line with the artistic tone of Cannes.
Everyone expressed congratulations to all the creators of the crew.
"Xiang, this is the gift I prepared for Liu. Congratulations to you both." Before the banquet ended, Abbas took a small box from his assistant and said with a smile:
< br>"This is our country's Khatamkari, from Shiraz, the city of 'roses and nightingales'."
"Ah, thank you."
After taking it, Xiangyang's eyes showed A hint of surprise.
When it comes to Persia, it is impossible not to mention Persepolis (Shiraz).
Its importance is a symbol of civilization just like the Forbidden City in China, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Taj Mahal in India.
It is the legendary capital in "One Thousand and One Nights".
It is also the hometown of Hafez, the Persian "God of the Soul".
And this city has become synonymous with love and romance because of Hafez’s lyrical poetry.
Of course Xiang Yang knew this city. Many of the books he had read had introduced this poet.
Well, for educated people, giving a gift can also quote scriptures.
But think about it, who would be stingy about showing their national pride in front of others?
“I hope you will also like it.”
“Of course,” Xiang Yang said with a smile on his lips: “Not only do I like it, I also like your work very much, it is very touching.”< br>
There is no need to brag about Abbas's films. He has won numerous awards and has long been recognized by World Cinema as one of the rare masters in today's world of cinema. The time when he won the most awards was also the period when Chinese-language films were enjoying great popularity in Europe.
The authoritative TSPDT website ranks fifth in Asia.
Zhang Mouzi can only be ranked twelfth on this list.
And Wang Jiawei is in fourth.
The first, of course, is Akira Kurosawa.
You want to ask why directors who are successful in commercial films are not included in such authoritative lists?
Feng Dapao can’t even make it into the top 20 on this list?
Because behind the obscure film are textbook-like camera movements, beautiful compositions, and what’s more, they created a film language that ordinary commercial film directors can only pick up on.
But Feng Dapao doesn’t have to feel bad. Nolan, who was touted as a god in later generations, was only ranked 154th on the TSPDT list.
Nolan is only 130 places behind his predecessor, Spielberg.
But like any list, TSPDT is also controversial.
After all, as a world-famous movie database, it is only updated once a year.
Only those who can participate in voting are well-known film critics and film scholars around the world.
"By the way, I heard from the French TV station that your Hermès Film Investment Company is preparing some documentary projects."
Abbas looked at Xiang Yang with a smile and said with a smile: " I don’t know, are you interested in photographing Middle Eastern culture? ”
"Middle Eastern culture?" Hearing this, Xiang Yang cheered up again, "Of course, if I can cooperate with a director like you, why wouldn't I be interested in that?"
"Then when the film festival is over, I'm going to pay a visit and meet Liu by the way."
After Abbas finished speaking, he stared straight at Xiangyang.
Of course Xiangyang agreed.
Having a world-class director join the "Tongue" and "Fingertips" series will undoubtedly have a qualitative impact on the documentaries of these two series.
Why not do such a good thing?
What Xiangyang didn't know was that although Abbas said he would wait until the film festival was over to discuss it in detail, when he returned to the hotel that night, he contacted Ai, who had helped introduce each other and others to Dubai. Elie Saab. Ellie Saab, who had a good personal relationship with Xiang Yang, was not as polite as Xiang Yang.
Call directly to ask about this.
"Xiang, just tell me, how much sponsorship is needed to make these two series of documentaries? We will pay for this."
"This is not about money."
Xiang Yang was speechless knowing that this guy was backed by 'oil dads'.
Are all the tycoons in the Middle East so arrogant?
Since the other party was willing to pay, Xiang Yang had no reason to refuse. After directly dumping the matter on Little John, Ellie Saab changed the subject and said: "Xiang, there is one more thing I want you to do. Help me.”
“As long as I can do it.”
"You are so familiar with Anna, why don't you ask her if she can wear our Elie Saab clothes during the closing film?"
"Huh?!"
Xiang Yang was stunned for a long time, sluggish. His eyes flickered.
Elie Saab and Anna Wintour don’t get along!
Don’t talk about her, even my wife Liu Qianqian, who is as beautiful as a fairy, can’t wear your clothes in the short time after giving birth!
"Saab, I'm afraid Anna won't agree." Xiang Yang pursed his lips and expressed his rejection tactfully.
“Hey.” Ellie Sabo sighed.
It’s not that he can’t design for Anna Wintour alone, but it’s too late to do it now.
Hearing that he was a little disappointed, Xiangyang joked: "I have an idea, but you have to come in person."
"Well, you say."
"Anna's daughter, Bea Schaffer can wear it."
Remembering that yesterday, Bea Schafer also came to the premiere. With her appearance in Chanel's 2009 Camellia haute couture, Xiangyang felt that she couldn't do it. For realistic fantasies, it’s better to start with the people around Anna Wintour.
If I remember correctly, Anna Wintour loves her daughter nicknamed "Little Bee".
We will bring her to every fashion week and Met Gala in the future.
“Have you met her daughter?” Ellie Saab thought it was feasible and confirmed: “I mean, does her figure require me to adjust her clothes?”
"It's not a big problem."
Xiang Yang smiled.
Bea Shaffer has a very tall figure, and there is no sense of inconsistency in wearing Elie Saab.
"Okay, I'll leave today."
"Okay, I'll take a leave and wait for you here."
"Thank you."
Ellie Sabo smiled at Xiangyang.
After hanging up the phone, Xiangyang was speechless. He wanted to spend time with his wife at home, but he was asked by his company to attend Cannes.
The result is the current situation.
Want to go back.
How can it be that easy?
"It's time for you to calm down, Xiang." During lunch, I noticed that Xiang Yang was in a bad mood, and when I inquired, I found out that the young man I liked was worried because he couldn't go home to be with his wife.
As a woman, Anna Wintour is both happy for Liu Qianqian and a little dissatisfied with Xiang Yang.
Men, family is important, and career is equally important.
"Karl called me this morning and mentioned you." She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiang Yang, and the female devil pretended to be more serious in her tone.
"What did he say?"
"Said you haven't had any decent works in the past year or so."
"Well, that's true."
Xiang Yang subconsciously Nod.
For more than a year, I can’t say that I haven’t done anything. I have been busy with HYS.
Then
HYS is also part of my career.
With a smile on his face, Xiang Yang defended himself a few words.
At the beginning of the establishment of a new brand, it is understandable to be distracted.
Anna Wintour just feels that this young man has a kind of laziness in his bones, which makes people dislike him.
Maybe
"Let me find you an assistant, you need someone to keep an eye on it." Anna Wintour said, glancing at Annabelle who was shivering not far away.
Obviously, she was not very satisfied with this little assistant.
What does an assistant do?
Behind Karl Lagerfeld who can work 16 hours a day and complete more than a dozen series for 4 brands every year, his equally outstanding team of assistants cannot be ignored.
"I think Bale is pretty good."
"I'm talking about work."
Anna Wintour suddenly became serious and thoughtful:
"You have You are gifted and talented, and you are not like other young people who are complacent with just a few achievements. However, you also know that in the circle we are in, you don’t care about your presence, and your presence doesn’t care about you either.”
She paused, looked at Xiang Yang and said, "Although you have made like-minded friends like you and be willing to cooperate with you by virtue of your unassuming personality, this is recognition of you by our small circle."
"Yeah, I know." Xiang Yang nodded.
“You know it, and then you don’t do it?”
Anna Wintour grinned disdainfully.
“No way.” Xiangyang smiled and explained: “It’s not that I don’t want to do it, but I have to wait until Sissi’s body has almost recovered after giving birth.”
"Then what are you going to do next?"
"I, I plan to."
Feeling that he was very busy, he opened his mouth to Yanggang, but he became stammering.
Little John is in charge of the movie.
Documentary, he doesn’t have to worry about it.
A series of things such as competitions, activities, joint branding, promotions, etc. surrounding HYS's brand promotion will slowly move on to the right track after the store officially opens.
Not to mention investing, it's not his turn to worry about at all.
It seems
I plan to watch the World Cup.
When this idea popped into my mind, Xiangyang felt a sense of fear.
It seems that apart from hanging around Liu Qianqian and the two little cotton-padded jackets, there is really nothing for me to do that requires special attention.
Yes, even for HYS's clothing design, after the design team is gradually established, what he has to do is control the design direction.
"You let my daughter wear Elie Saab clothes, and you didn't get any benefits?" Seeing that he was speechless, Anna Wintour simply asked directly.
"Anna, I'm not that kind of person!" Xiang Yang frowned, "You know."
"So, this is your advantage, but it is also your shortcoming. "Anna Wintour couldn't help but shook her head and laughed, and after commenting on Xiang Yang, she cleared her throat and said to Xiang Yang:
"It's okay to let my daughter do things for you, remember to pay her salary."< br>
On the side, Bill Nye, who had been listening carefully to the two men's chat, couldn't hold back.
I spit out the coffee in my mouth with a "plop"
