Chapter 296: Raising an army to investigate the crime
In the past life, I stood outside the door, looking at flowers in the mist. I could see some tricks, but I couldn't see them clearly.
Now that I am in it, I slowly understand why people always say that the entertainment industry is a game of capital but cannot be played by ordinary people.
From auditions to meetings to interviews, from premieres to parties to award ceremonies, there are thresholds everywhere, and appearance is often the first impression.
Of course, does anyone not mind this?
There is no doubt about it.
Either they are real artists, or they are superstars who are already at the top of the pyramid. The former relies on talent and the latter relies on face, that is their passport.
Anson has only been in the industry for a short period of time, and he has already had more than one hand to carefully select clothing styles, and today he had to choose again for the premiere.
Push the door open, and a round space with bright and clean windows appears in front of you. Golden sunlight fills every corner. The green plants in the courtyard outside the window look particularly green. The bright green fills the room with vitality. His chest opened instantly, and his steps couldn't help but feel a little lighter.
As he approached, Anson saw a thin figure with a pale face and slightly sunken shoulders, as if he had just stepped out of the set of "The Addams Family".
Anson took a look and saw this face...he knew it!
But why does he appear here?
Unexpectedly, before Anson could speak, the other party would pre-emptively ask, "You saw me, before formally greeting me, should I start with an apology?"
With all his face, he was asking for an apology.
The air was slightly condensed, and even Edgar's face tightened, and he glanced at Anson subconsciously. Is there something going on between them?
At this time, he could no longer care. Edgar immediately spoke to try to save the situation, but his words were covered by Anson's laughter, and the subsequent sounds were swallowed.
"Sorry." Anson apologized very simply and frankly.
Proud?
What is that? Can it be eaten as food?
What's more, the apology is not an apology, because Anson can see that finding fault is not looking for fault, but more accurately, it should be a joke.
Like a secret code.
Sure enough, Anson's crisp response made "Wednesday" in front of him smile, "Aren't you going to ask why?"
Wednesday, this is from "The Addams Family" ...Little daughter, maybe it’s not appropriate to describe the man in front of her, but that’s the impression that came to Anson’s mind.
Anson also raised the corner of his mouth, "If my friend needs an apology to relieve his inner anxiety and uneasiness, I will be very happy to respond. As for the reason, we can discuss it slowly."
"For example, now."
"So, why?"
"Wednesday" did not speak immediately, but chewed Anson's words carefully. The smile settled between his eyebrows. Although the curvature of the corners of his mouth could not be seen, he felt that his whole body was filled with laughter. Brighter, "You are an interesting person."
Edgar: Hello, would anyone like to update his background?
"Ahem." Edgar cleared his throat, "Anson, do you know Mr. Slimane?"
Eddie Slimane, standing in front of you at this time , it is Eddie Slimane.
Last year, during the filming of "Friends", rumors that Brad Pitt was planning to kick Anson away became a hot topic. Darren Star understood that this was a good opportunity for Anson to increase his exposure, so he invited Eddie to choose Anson's look, and finally There was a news-focused moment when Anson was born.
But I didn’t expect that it would be a year later when we met again.
But Anson still couldn’t figure out when he owed Eddie an apology and what happened?
Eddie looked at Edgar, "Why, your client wore the clothes I designed on the Emmy red carpet and became a hot topic in the entire industry, but you don't know the relationship between me and your client. ? Otherwise, why do you think I would issue an invitation to actively provide sponsorship to your customers? "The amount of information is a bit large, and everyone's focus is different.
Edgar, "Emmy Awards?"
Anson, "Sponsorship?"
As mentioned before, the entertainment industry is a capital game. Even top-tier entertainers, if they attend large or small All the costumes for the event are prepared by oneself, which is also a huge expense that is difficult to digest.
The difference is that the top and first tier players can find sponsorship, the second and third tier players can rent clothing, and the 18th tier players must find their own solutions.
What really surprises Anson is this. "Princess Diaries" is the first premiere in his career, the first work to officially appear on the big screen, and it can actually find sponsorship?
Moreover, sponsors come to you on their own initiative?
Is it Darren Star helping behind the scenes again?
Perhaps, the only one here who knows the ins and outs is Eddie.
Eddie looked at Anson and then at Edgar.
Anson explained, "When I won the Emmy Awards, I didn't have an agent. I was in the same situation as you, I just got some help."
Eddie suddenly understood, and then explained in a few words.
After Anson and Eddie got acquainted in April last year, it didn’t take long for Eddie to leave Yves Saint Laurent and become the design director of Dior Men’s Wear.
Dior is ambitiously preparing to open up the men's clothing market and gives Eddie 100% creative freedom, hoping to develop this desert in the fashion field.
At that time, it was not long before the four major fashion weeks in October, so Eddie’s main focus was on the four major fashion weeks in February this year, that is, designing this year’s autumn and winter looks; however, Ai Di Di still made some preliminary attempts, trying to find inspiration between Dior's original style and himself.
A very unexpected and coincidental thing happened here——
Anson chose Dior for her look at the Emmy Awards; and it happened to be Eddie's design.
Although Eddie believed that his design was immature and his inspirational composition was not perfect, he did not expect that Anson would cause a frenzy on the red carpet.
What Anson didn’t know was that this craze continued until the four major fashion weeks in October, and countless voices were discussing Anson.
First of all, Eddie exposed himself in advance.
Secondly, Dior exposed its ambitions in advance.
Although other brands in the fashion industry have not really taken any action, they do not believe that the men's fashion market has the same vitality as the women's fashion market. Dior's approach is more like a dying struggle but going in the wrong direction; but the number of informants who spy on the news has begun to increase, and Brings invisible pressure.
For a long time, Eddie thought Anson would take the initiative to contact him, but the result...
"So, you don't know the waves you caused at the two fashion weeks?" Ai Di Dee couldn't believe it.
Anson's face was full of innocence——
If it were 2023, of course, there would be no problem. The network's news aggregation could easily break the barrier, but in 2001, every line is like a mountain. The words are a bit exaggerated, but the flow of news is indeed not smooth.
What's more, Anson, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming of "Spider-Man", entered a closed space; the self-contained fashion circle is another relatively closed space.
Although it is unbelievable, it really happened like this——
Sure enough, in any era, the value of news is immeasurable, and no news means losing the advantage.
