Chapter 659 Interview Questions
Wait, are there any competitors?
The first reaction in Melvin's mind was: walk away.
He thought that he was special, he thought that his ability was far beyond this job, he thought that if he was willing to nod and agree to try and see the other party, he should welcome him ecstatically, he thought that he was the only candidate .
However...
He was wrong.
His pride and confidence hit a wall, and things were completely different from what he imagined.
There are actually competitors for such a job?
Actually!
So, what does this mean?
"Melvin, this is an opportunity. Believe me, I know Anson; at the same time, I also know you. For you, this is an opportunity and a challenge."
Eddie's words came again Ringing in the ears.
Huh.
Melvin took a deep breath and did not leave——
Remember?
Once his character is determined, even ten horses can't pull it back.
Now that he has opened the door, he will see the result.
Maybe competition is a good thing, and Melvin was inspired to fight. Indeed, he is a prickly person, a freak, and a psychopath who is difficult to get along with. However, his pride and self-confidence are not arrogance without foundation. He believes in his own expertise and talent, 100%.
He will prove his talent.
"Good afternoon, I am Edgar Cook, Anson Wood's agent. Are you here to interview for a job as a personal stylist?"
A man came forward and handed me a business card with a smile.
Melvin also skillfully took out his business card to complete the exchange, "Melvin Berry. Yes, I'm here to interview for the job of Anson's personal stylist."
Ed Jia made an invitation gesture, "Welcome and thank you for coming. The interview has begun. Please choose a look for Anson to attend the premiere of 'Cat and Mouse'. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
< br>It turns out that this is the interview question.
Moreover, Melvin noticed two details.
First, Edgar did not look at his business card. Either Edgar already knew his details, or his identity was not important at all.
Secondly, the other two competitors secretly stretched their ears to eavesdrop, but then they regained their composure and stopped paying attention to them at all——
It is very possible that their The interview questions are the same.
This means that they need to create a premiere look for Anson, and finally Anson will try it on and display it to select the winner.
But...that's it?
To be honest, at premieres and award ceremonies, men basically wear three-piece suits, and the color is often black -
Even white suits are extremely rare on such occasions, gray and Same goes for blue.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for men to look good at premieres and award ceremonies.
Perhaps, some people will be confused:
That was before, but it is different now. Dior men's clothing has emerged, isn't it?
Melvin doesn't think so.
Men's fashion is indeed on the rise, and Dior is leading the trend, but Dior cannot be the answer to all men's fashion. Otherwise, if all the red carpets are Dior, it will be a disaster; in addition, the red carpet is not Suitable for being a fashion stage, even if men try to show their taste, it is often not premieres and award shows.
However.
It just so happened that Edgar’s test question was the premiere style.
Of course, compared to award ceremonies, the space for premieres has been slightly expanded, and occasionally men are even allowed not to choose suits; but after all, they are still a minority. After all, being too out of line is not a good thing——< br>
No one wants to steal the show from the movie. Things are not that simple.
Take a deep breath and regain his composure. Melvin's brain started to work at high speed:
Eddie, what did you say about this job?
It's not that Eddie may reveal any secrets, but Melvin believes that with Anson's intelligence, the details must have been informed in advance. It depends on whether they can discover it and finally stand out from the competition.
Look, Anson is playing rugby outside at this moment, completely relaxed and free, seemingly unaware of the interview going on inside.
Melvin didn’t think this was a sign that Anson didn’t care about this matter. On the contrary, it was Anson’s way of sending a signal. Eddie said more than once that Anson was very smart and it was always easy and pleasant to work with him. .
So, the details -
Personal Stylist. Movie premiere. Personal fashion image.
Melvin stood there, not in a hurry to start, and then, an idea flashed in his mind.
"Mr. Agent."
"Just call me Edgar."
"Edgar, may I ask what kind of movie 'Cat and Mouse' is? What role does Anson play in the movie? "
Edgar glanced at Melvin, and the two people who were busy next to him also stretched their ears slightly, but after hearing Melvin's question, they both He turned his head and stopped paying attention.
Melvin has no direct connection with the film industry, but it is also the entertainment industry, so he has naturally heard about it.
In 2002, the connection between fashion and movies was not strong. It was mainly at the level of award ceremonies and premieres. There were only a handful of cases where actors relied on fashion styles to get out of the industry -
For example, James -Aniston, like "Sex and the City."
At present, the general view in the fashion industry is that styling is styling, and it has something to do with the actor, and has nothing to do with the movie or the role.
However.
It’s okay to say that Melvin is a layman. He believes that fashion should not be separated from movies.
To give a simple example, "Star Wars" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are two movies, one is a science fiction movie and the other is a romance movie. The fashion styles at the premieres can be completely distinguished.
The two movies "Terminator" and "Blade Runner", although both are science fiction movies, have completely different styles, and the actors' fashion styles can also show different colors.
The same thing is happening in front of me.
After all, the look they are creating is for Anson to go to a movie premiere. It is not a talk show, an audience meeting, or a media roundtable interview. It is completely a premiere look.
Also, Melvin did not forget one thing, which Eddie emphasized:
Treat Anson as a brand, create a fashion image and style around Anson, and truly make Anson a fashion icon.
In other words, features and colors are needed, and existing rules and frameworks need to be broken.
So, what should Melvin do?
The first step is to treat the actor as an actor and highlight the actor's personal color.
For example, at a movie premiere, show the charm between the actor and the character, break the fourth wall, and bring a new experience.
so.
Melvin was not in a hurry, and went as deep into the film and character as possible within the scope of what he could consider. He even asked Anson about interesting things about the filming scene and his experience during the filming——
After all, at the end of the day, Melvin was styling the real-life Anson, not Frank Abagnale Jr. in the movie.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.
Melvin didn't look like someone who came to interview a personal stylist. He stood aside and chatted with Edgar like a reporter, as if he was conducting an in-depth interview.
However, Edgar did not rush him. There was an atmosphere of old friends between the two of them, and they talked happily.
Is there really no problem?
