"What did you say?"

Liu Qianqian covered her mouth in surprise and couldn't believe what Emma Stone said on the phone.

"Mila Kunis has a broken bone in her foot. It appears to be a fracture."

Holding the phone, Emma Stone whispered.

She also just learned about the specific situation from the crew of "Black Swan". After learning the news, she immediately contacted her friend Liu Qianqian in Paris.

After the audition, in addition to preparing for her movie, she has been practicing ballet every day as required.

Not so with Liu Qianqian. She is actively preparing for the interview at the film school.

But the dance teacher here in Paris has already been found.

After the interview, she will study with the other person for a while, and then go to New York to participate in the crew's training.

This was something that was originally planned, but now, if the second female lead is injured, the crew will face a very complicated situation.If it's not heavy, it's okay if we all wait together.

But if it's very heavy.

Regarding Mila Kunis' accidental injury, Liu Qianxi felt a little sorry, "So how is she doing now? Do you want to go visit her?"

Emma Stone sighed, she felt that Liu Qianqian took it for granted.

Said: "Sissi, look at the script. Would it be bad if I went to visit?"

"Ah, no." Liu Qianqian disagreed with Emma Stone's words. While denying her friend's concerns, thinking of her weight loss target, Liu Qianxi showed her naughty side and joked:

"You just want to express your concern. Besides, even if I give you the role of the second female lead, you won't be able to play the role, right?"

Hearing this, Emma Stone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was being laughed at, so she said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, Liu! You have really been with that guy Xiang for a long time, and you are starting to learn bad things. "

"I didn't, hehe." Liu Qianqian smiled, twirled her hair and said seriously: "But to be honest, I think you should go take a look."

"At least be prepared, just in case."

After hearing her friend add this sentence, Emma Stone fell silent.

"Yeah, just in case."

"Xiang, you gave us another trouble."

The sideline matter has not yet been concluded. Faced with Xiang Yang's proposal, Pierre frowned rarely.

Create a film investment company from a luxury brand?Also euphemistically called "Hope to expand Hermès' vision and influence on art through a medium that is more durable than clothing?"

During the meeting, he suddenly heard Xiang Yang's damn whim, and he even had the urge to go over and knock on the other party's head to see what was inside.

He does not deny the influence of today's movies on brands.

Such stories can be found by just searching in your mind.

He also does not deny that Hermès needs innovation to burst out new vitality, otherwise he will not make corresponding changes, and even think about setting up subsidiary lines, adjusting the industrial structure, and even sponsoring some movie shootings.

but

Film investment company?

What a whimsical and unrealistic idea this is!

Could it be that this little guy is floating?

Pierre, who was once very optimistic about Xiang Yang, rejected the other party's proposal for the first time in his heart.

This idea is terrible.

he thinks.

But what Xiang Yang said was not unfounded.

Because before he traveled through time, the French luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent, owned by Kering, announced the establishment of a film production company. It was also the world's first film production company operated by a fashion luxury brand company.

Once the production company was announced, it was developing multiple projects simultaneously.

Collaborations include famous directors such as Paolo Sorrentino, David Cronenberg, Abel Ferrara, Wang Jiawei, Jim Jarmusch, and Gaspar Noe.

It is planned to release 2 or 3 movies every year.

And the first film debuted at the 'Cannes Film Festival'.

Moreover, whether now or in previous lives, the public relations departments of luxury brands spend great efforts every year trying to embed their products in suitable movie links.

Armani in "The Most Violent Year", Armani in "The Wolf of Wall Street", Hamilton in "Interstellar", Tiffany in "The Great Gatsby 2013", and Hermès in "The Princess of Morocco", etc.

In a few years, 25% of Hollywood film production costs will come from brand sponsorships, and the vast majority here will come from luxury brands.

"Mr. Pierre, I don't like the word 'trouble' very much."

Faced with doubts, Xiang Yang will certainly not remain indifferent.

In European and American workplaces, we don’t rely on the domestic salary-based system. As long as the boss pays you more, then “Boss, whatever you say is right, everything you say is right.”

Of course, it is impossible to point at people with higher positions than oneself and curse randomly like in Shuangwen novels.

After thinking for a short time, Xiang Yang just confirmed his thoughts with a calm attitude, "Just like you agreed to sponsor "Downton Abbey" at the meeting just now.

Yes, I am very grateful for your support in the creation of this TV series. Even if they do not choose me as their costume director, I still sincerely admire your unparalleled vision and insight into its revenue potential.

But we are forced to accept it. I personally feel that this is inconsistent with the spirit of Hermès. "

Hearing Xiang Yang's straightforward statement, everyone involved in the meeting was stunned.

No one thought that Xiang Yang would say this

Fortunately, his words were spoken from the starting point of the discussion, and he repeatedly emphasized 'we' and Pierre's vision.

And Xiang Yang, who had been tired for a day, said something from his heart. Was it for himself that he made such a forward-thinking proposal?

I can earn a few more years and live comfortably in the future, and I won’t have to worry about money at all!

It’s not so that Hermès can avoid some detours in this regard, so that he can take the opportunity to rely on this big boat and realize his dream.

As the host of the meeting, CEO Patrick, who knew that Pierre was very optimistic about Xiangyang, smiled and eased the awkward atmosphere when everyone fell into silence. He said:

"Xiang, Pierre doesn't mean that he doesn't support your views.

It's just that temporary suggestions like yours always give people time to think about it. "

At the same time as he spoke, Patrick's mind was also thinking rapidly. His voice paused for a few seconds before he immediately added: "There's still room, right?"

"I think" Axel looked around, "I think Xiang Yang's proposal is worth trying."

"Okay, you say it, Axel." Pierre took his eyes away from Xiang Yang and turned to the first person to express his position at the meeting.

As for Little John and Hardy, they have remained silent.

The two of them haven't recovered yet.

<divclass="contentadv">What was originally a simple reporting meeting, went from discussing the artistry of "Downton Abbey" to talking directly about competing brands and the influence of this TV series.

"This damn guy only knows how to show off!" Little John cursed in his mind as he glanced at his friend.

At this moment, he just wanted to call his father JCE and ask him to come over, so as not to wait for his friend to report to the human resources department later.

Even though the people in the HR department should have gotten off work.

"I think since we have reached an agreement on sponsoring this TV series and the public relations department will continue to be responsible for connecting with each other, there is no problem in setting up a related film department."

Axel leaned forward slightly and said:

"I have read in detail about Xiang's participation in "Midnight in Paris" and "Black Swan". I think what Xiang just said is good. Regarding film and television, we are indeed following a passive model.

The public relations department should actually review this point. We can't always wait for some good productions that are suitable for us to come to us to discuss cooperation projects, right?

After all, sponsorship always pays off.

In some film and television productions, if we participate before the project is approved in the early stages, we can achieve better exclusivity and at the same time ensure our investment profits and avoid blindness. "

After another thought-provoking speech, everyone in the conference room returned to silence again.

"It is."

Pierre thought for a moment and nodded to admit that this was indeed true.

Moreover, although Axel's proposal seemed to be very similar to Xiang Yang's, he found a different way to solve Pierre's trouble just now.

What Xiang Yang means is to establish a separate film and television investment company.

Axel proposed setting up a department, or a project team.

Xiang Yang also quickly realized why there was such a big change in Pierre's reaction. If he thought about it carefully, he had just brought 'trouble' to Pierre.

It is more difficult to set up a department than it is to set up a company.

"Hey, sure enough, I lack a lot of things." After realizing this, Xiang Yang couldn't help but shake his head, secretly thinking about his lack of experience.

Actually, it's not his fault.

It can only be said that Xiangyang, who is used to making clothes, does his job honestly, and relies on stock investment to amass wealth, lacks practical experience in this kind of business field.

That is to say, I haven’t paid any tuition fees, so I take it for granted.

Noticing Xiang Yang shaking his head slightly, Pierre frowned.

He also suddenly realized that Xiangyang had never experienced the practical operation of brand management. Listening to what he just said, you knew that this was something that only an innocent little guy could speak out.

Fortunately, this incident happened before the sub-line was established.

He originally planned to wait for the 'store manager to purchase goods' before starting to promote the secondary line. Pierre, who had Xiang Yang as the design director, was thankful that the other party exposed this shortcoming.

Because there are shortcomings, there can be growth.

There are many people in their 20s who have been appointed as design directors of luxury brands at a young age. However, except for those legends who are already recognized in the fashion circle, there are only a few who have been able to stand firm in recent years.

And his growth means that in the process of bringing more profits to Hermès, he is deeply tied to Hermès.

"You and Xiang will be responsible for this project team," Pierre said.

"Ah, do I want to participate too?" Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you find the project?" After Pierre finished speaking, he nodded to Patrick, stood up, and said, "Xiang, I hope you remember what you just said.

Go and prove it's not just rhetoric on your part. "

Xiang Yang: "."

"Okay, since the chairman has decided, I will hold a meeting with the public relations department tomorrow and transfer to your film business group." Patrick also stood up and announced the end of the meeting.

After selling his favor, he showed a knowing smile and followed Pierre's footsteps.

As chairman and CEO, they still have many things to communicate.

Sure enough, Pierre, who had taken two steps out, suddenly realized something. While waiting for the elevator, he ordered his assistant:

"I hope to see Xiang Yang's name in the public relations class next week. In addition, I will find a university we cooperate with and sign him up for an MBA course."

"Haha, Pierre, you are not busy enough."

Patrick waved his hand to Pierre's assistant with a smile, indicating that she would just hurry up and make arrangements.

"He is in our future plans."

Pierre said calmly.

"It seems that the lesson you have to teach him is not enough." Patrick understood what Pierre meant and said with a smile.

At the same time, the four people in the conference room looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Hardy was almost depressed to death. He originally came here today just to return a favor and to flatter his boss Axel. After all, the newly appointed commercial director of the jewelry design department is a member of the Hermès family.

But this incident made me feel like I was on a pirate ship.

Noticing Hardy's gaze, Axel sighed and stood up from the chair and said:

"Let's go, Xiang, I remember you owe me a cup of iced coffee."

Xiang Yang raised his head and looked at Little John again, "Let's go and have a drink together."

After Little John glared at Xiang Yang complainingly, he stood up. He was really scared to death just now, but it seems that this ending is good. His friend will definitely recruit him into this film business group.

That means that I can get another salary.

When he thought of this, he immediately smiled and said, "I'll do it. I'm familiar with that store."

Axel glanced at Little John and said nothing.

Xiang Yang didn't express anything.

"Xiang, do you really think that investing in movies can bring us a big return?" Axel asked with a frown as he went downstairs.

"It depends on what kind of movie you watch, but "Downton Abbey" is definitely profitable."

"hope so."
