Chapter 163 Stunning
Pierre Carton is the most gentlemanly person.
The old man was wearing a shirt, trousers, a beautiful watch and pointed shoes, and was holding a smoke-colored cowhide bag in his hand.
After seeing Ning Weimin and the others, he took the initiative to smile and wave, and came over to say hello.
He looks more elegant than the male protagonist in "Cassandra Bridge" released last year.
And there are two foreign coaches beside Pierre Caton, one male and one female. Their height, temperament, and appearance are even more outstanding.
Men must be at least 1.9 meters tall, and women must be at least 1.8 meters tall.
The man has blond hair, white pants, white shirt, white belt, and beige leather shoes.
The woman has brown hair, a light blue skirt, a pair of blue high heels, and a brown belt.
Especially when they are tall and thin coming from a distance.
Ning Weimin and the others all had the same feeling in their hearts as when they saw the hero and heroine in the American movie "The Blue Bridge".
Everyone feels that the two foreign coaches look too much like the fashionable versions of Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh.
But even so, the two foreign coaches are far less eye-catching than the oriental woman in her forties behind them.
Because although this woman's facial features are not beautiful and her figure is not very tall, she is full of confidence and elegance.
The most dazzling thing about her is that even though she is so young and has black hair and yellow skin, her clothes and appearance are more classy than those of foreigners.
She was actually wearing the most eye-catching red dress, paired with a green belt and floral shoes.
He also had his long hair tied back, makeup on his face, and lipstick on his mouth.
In this era, her image is more like someone who has traveled through time than Ning Weimin, and her style is unparalleled.
She even compared herself to the girl next to her who was obviously very young and more beautiful than her.
So naturally, almost everyone who followed Ning Weimin regarded this woman as a "Hong Kong coward" or a Japanese.
Mi Xiaoran, Liu Weijing and Qu Xiao were all thinking about it.
I have never seen such a sophisticated woman in the capital in my whole life. It is really novel.
Zhang Shihui felt a chill in his heart, clenched his fists subconsciously, and couldn't help but think to himself.
Where did this old witch come from?
Only Ning Weimin knew clearly that this woman was actually a native of the capital.
Because in the world of his previous life, there were only people who had read Pierre Catton's personal autobiography or were slightly familiar with his life experience.
Everyone will know that the success of this master's career in the Republic is inseparable from a woman named Song Huagui in the capital.
Who is Song Huagui?
She is the founder of the first generation of domestic models.
She was the first planner to bring Republican models to the Western stage.
She was the first agent of an international clothing brand to enter the Republic.
Until the end of her life, she was Pierre Carton's agent for all of his business interests in the Republic.
She is both the president of Pierre Catton's clothing company and the general manager of Maxim, the famous French restaurant invested by Pierre Catton.
Wearing two hats.
So in the domestic fashion industry, this woman's power and status are no worse than the female editor-in-chief Miranda played by Streep in the famous fashion movie "The Devil Wears Prada".
Even worse.
That’s why she is known as the “godmother of domestic fashion”.
In addition, Song Huagui was also the first woman in the Republic to marry abroad.
In the 1950s, when even holding hands on the street was considered a hooligan, Song Huagui, who was studying oil painting at the National Academy of Fine Arts, met Wanman, an international student from Bulgaria.
In the process of learning Chinese and communicating art, the two were attracted to each other and fell in love.
But given the social conditions at the time, they were inevitably criticized by public opinion from all sides. So Song Huagui, who refused to admit defeat, resisted the pressure and bravely wrote a letter of love and sent it to the highest-level desk in the Republic, thus obtaining approval for the marriage.
This is the first foreign-related marriage in our country.
When her daughter was born, Song Huagui left her homeland and followed her husband to Bulgaria.
After that, I lived in France with my husband.
Pierre Carton met Song Huagui and Wan Man by chance at their art exhibition.
The kind-hearted old man knew that Song Huagui was a citizen of the Republic. He not only expressed his yearning for Chinese culture in person, but also financed the purchase of two exhibits.
As a result, it was precisely because of this kind of kindness that after learning that Pierre Caton’s first trip to the Republic was in vain.
Song Huagui accepted his invitation and returned to the Republic.
Then I kept making phone calls and writing letters, and rode my bicycle to the Ministry of Light Industry and the Ministry of Textile to visit one by one and seek permission from the staff.
In the end, the extremely difficult communication was completed and the relevant approval documents were obtained for Pierre Carton.
Pierre Carton once lamented that he believed that Song Huagui could learn the language of cactus even in the desert.
So it can be said that Song Huagui was the biggest contributor to Pierre Carton's career in the Republic, and the partner that Pierre Carton trusted and was most grateful to.
Because of this, Ning Weimin considered that Pierre Carton would not be able to stay in the Republic all year round.
He knew that in fact, this woman was the person he should please the most and handle the relationship well.
Only with the approval of Ms. Song could he get the most benefit from Pierre Carton.
As expected, Mr. Pierre Cardon simply introduced the two foreign coaches by their names.
It was said that the man's name was Taldo and the woman's name was Shirin, and then the focus was on Song Huagui.
The old man told everyone humorously that Song Huagui was his plenipotentiary representative and the chief planner of the costume show.
She is not a 'foreigner' like herself, she is a citizen of the Republic like everyone else, and she has a good temperament.
Please don’t worry, you can ask her any questions you may have.
Pierre Carton also specially introduced Ning Weimin and Song Huagui to each other.
Tell Song Huagui that Ning Weimin is very talented and knowledgeable in fashion and hopes that he can help Song Huagui.
There is no need to say what kind of hint this move contains.
As for the girl next to Song Huagui, she needs no introduction at all.
Because she has been responsible for relaying the old man's English to everyone, everyone will know that she is a translator.
Not to mention, Ning Weimin was silently observing Song Huagui.
What he couldn't help but admire was that this woman not only had a strong aura, but was also able to hold her own.
He is also generous and friendly to others, appears to be very good-natured, and is really good at communication.
Before speaking, Song Huagui showed a particularly bright smile and then spoke softly to everyone.
"How are you? It's our first time meeting you. It's nice to meet you all. You can just call me eldest sister. If you have any questions about training and fashion modeling, you can ask me."
Waiting for a while, see you? When people talked, she took the initiative to make jokes.
“Oh, why doesn’t anyone want to pay attention to me? Do you dislike my age, or do you really treat me as an outsider? We are fellow countrymen! Don’t believe me? Do you still want me to ask you this? 'Have you eaten?', you will believe it..."
In this way, everyone couldn't help but be amused, and naturally developed a good impression of Song Huaigui.
Next, Song Hua knew how to use appropriate praise to wake him up so that he could continue to instill concepts.
"First of all, I have to congratulate you. The fact that you are here is enough to prove that you are not only outstanding in appearance, but also very avant-garde young people in your thinking. But do you know? Although I ask you to come here just to let you walk around in clothes, this It is a very important and technically demanding job!”
“I say important because our country urgently needs to expand its clothing exports to earn foreign exchange. However, due to being separated from the world for too long, our clothing industry is We know nothing about Western fashion trends and we really need the latest knowledge brought by Mr. Pierre Catton."
"Mr. Catton is willing to help us with clothing design and will design our fabrics to suit people around the world. The one you like the most is called fashion. Then you wear such clothes everywhere to show others, which is a common way of selling clothes in the world. "
"I said it is necessary. Technology, not only because there are professionals engaged in this profession in the Western world, but also because clothing models walk differently from ordinary people. The graceful feeling of the model when walking comes from the shift of the center of gravity of the left and right legs, and at the same time, the shoulders must be avoided. To achieve these, You must change the habits you have developed over the years. It takes at least a hundred miles of practice to master the preliminary techniques..."
