Chapter 165 Artistic Vision
At nine thirty in the evening, in the coffee shop in the lobby of the Capital Hotel.
Pierre Carton and Song Huagui, who were chatting over coffee, were also talking about what they saw and heard today.
"Song, what do you think of the young people who came today?"
Song Huagui thought carefully before answering.
"The two girls left behind are tall enough, much better than the girls who came in the past who were over 1.6 meters tall. But their weight, body measurements, leg length, back width, etc., are obviously still far from the requirements of real models. Far. The key is lack of self-confidence and bad body habits. I’m afraid I have to work hard to convince them to stay and participate in training to overcome their physical problems. I think they are both less than three months old. It will be more difficult to reach the standard you expect in the end..."
Pierre Catton did not make a clear position on this.
He smiled and asked the next question.
"Then are you satisfied with the assistant I found for you? I think you might be able to leave problems like this to him. What do you think?"
Song Huagui I was a little surprised, and seemed surprised that Pierre Carton valued Ning Weimin.
"Are you talking about the young man named Ning Weimin? He seems to have a deep understanding of the fashion industry and a unique perspective. This surprised me. He is also quite eloquent and the kind of person who can influence others. It's just that I don't know him well yet, so I can't really rest assured yet..."
Pierre Carton shook his coffee spoon, and the crisp sound interrupted Song Huagui's words.
"Song, as a manager of a company, you should share some unimportant work with your subordinates, otherwise you will be exhausted. Frankly speaking, in the past, you were asked to take care of too many things. I've always wanted to make it easier for you. You seem very tired recently, and I'm really worried about your health."
Song Huagui smiled slightly, but still persisted. Keep your opinions to yourself.
“Thank you, thank you for your kindness. However, trust always requires a process, doesn’t it? I always believe that only a full understanding can establish a true tacit understanding. And how can the model team say it is not important? ? That affects..."
"...It affects whether the performance is successful. It affects whether our subsequent steps can be carried out smoothly. It even affects the official's evaluation and trust in us. Yes, I know it. The model team is an important part."
Pierre Carton took over what she said and nodded in agreement.
Then, the conversation changed and he reminded her in a slightly serious tone.
“But the problem is that not all important things are equally important. Not all important things must be done by our own hands. We must learn to choose the direction of investment of energy, and we must also learn to Moderate trust and let go."
"I hope Ning can save you from trivial chores and hope that you can focus on a higher level of communication. This is our current urgent need and must. You have to adapt to the changes. You can't go to a cocktail party in a high-end dress and rush to the training venue to talk to the models? No matter how capable you are, you have the same time as others. This is unreasonable."
"Song, I can actually understand your concerns. In your country, people here are used to doing things in a very cautious way, and it is not easy for people to trust others. They always like to do things by themselves and are worried that others will mess up their affairs. I have to say that prudence is of course a good virtue, but it can often be overdone. "
"Do you know what I believe? I believe in my own feelings, I believe in opportunity and fate, and I believe that talent is rare. I believe that goodwill can lead to goodwill, and good intentions can lead to gratitude. "
"Why is this so? I can tell you, because when I came to Paris from Italy and was desperate, I was drinking in a pub. The countess who was attracted by the clothes on my body introduced me to work in the Pakan women's fashion store. Two years later, Mr. Dior only met me once and talked with me for half an hour before allowing me to be his first wife. An assistant. ”
“They appreciated my talent and gave me opportunities, which changed my life. So I am grateful and have always followed their example and given it to other talented people as much as possible. Provide opportunities and help. "
"And it turns out that if I give others a chance, I will give myself a chance. Otherwise, I would not have found these two supermodels, Isabelle and Petra. Maryse and Brees are two competent managers. Of course, I would not have such an excellent partner as you.”
"Now, I have met Ning again. He is undoubtedly a very talented person. And I can see in his eyes the same desire for success that I had back then. So I have reason to believe that this time, I will also be a very talented person. You find a very good subordinate. Maybe it’s a bit superstitious, but I think it’s all destined.”
Pierre Carton’s words are very thought-provoking. Song Huagui couldn't help but fell silent and thought thoughtfully.
In the end, I don’t know whether she was infected by the emotions revealed in Pierre Carton’s words.
I still choose to respect Pierre Carton’s status and authority.
She finally smiled and changed her original intention.
"Since you think so highly of him, I am willing to believe him. After all, you are older than me. I believe in your life experience. You must be better at judging people than me."
< br>This is really just the right thing to say. It not only compliments the other party, but also brings it to one's own level.
Therefore, Pierre Carton could not help but show an expression of relief and sincere approval.
“It’s always a pleasure chatting with you. Song, you are really the most eloquent assistant.”
But he didn't accept the compliment entirely.
Due to professional characteristics, he specially emphasized.
“However, Song, you have to understand that this is not actually life experience, but the artist’s sensitive intuition.”
“Some people and things always have their own unique charm. But they are hidden by the ordinary environment. To discover these treasures buried in the dust, life experience does not play a role. It requires artistic vision."
"Just like the paintings you drew by yourself. Isn’t the fundamental purpose of your painting to condense the beauty that people ignore and let them see it? And is this something that ordinary people can do? Of course not, only artists can do it.”
"Same, just like the clothes I design. I create them for life, and this life does not exist - it represents the world of tomorrow."
The old man's persistence and revelation Such self-confidence inevitably made Song Huagui smile.
But she didn’t expect that Pierre Carton would be surprisingly confident in this aspect, and would reiterate it again extremely stubbornly.
"You don't believe me? How about we make a bet? You are very optimistic about the two girls who came today, right? But I bet that they will be the best performers in the model team. .
“Although we have chosen many models in the past, and they are all beautiful, there has never been one that really touched me. Until today, I actually saw two of them at once. ”
"Frankly speaking, the Oriental models in my imagination are just like these two girls today, beautiful but unaware of it."
After hearing this, Song Huagui couldn't help being surprised again by Pierre Carton's unique concept, and even more Shocked by the high praise he rarely expresses.
I couldn't help but seriously began to speculate on what was special about the two girls.
Seeing Song Huagui’s reaction, Pierre Carton seemed quite proud.
His face secretly showed a mischievous smile that did not match his age.
He stirred it again with a coffee spoon, and then gently picked up his coffee cup.
