Reborn fashion designer

"Not wishful thinking."

Sitting in the coffee shop, Xiang Yang gave his answer.

For example, in terms of luxury clothing, there are many items that are too trendy and not enough classic.

Whether it's 'Valentino Pink' or miumiu's 'Tummy Exposed' suit.

When they are launched in 2022 and 2023, these fashion items will be highly discussed on the Internet, but what about the actual conversion sales?

You know, just since 2016, the overall sales of luxury brands have increased from 1.08 trillion euros to 2022 trillion euros in 1.4 due to various reasons, with an increase of more than 3 billion euros.

However, the sales of many luxury brands can only barely maintain their sales.

Maintenance, in an era of inflation, means regression.

“Good movies and TV series will be watched over and over again. With the rapid development of the Internet and the rise of social software, fashion will no longer be a lofty term, it will reach ordinary people in more ways. vision.

What we have to do is to guide them to become interested in our brand and create beautiful senses in a more clever way. "

Xiang Yang thought for a while, took a sip of coffee and said.

"Haha, I understand what you're talking about." Little John finished with a smile. Seeing the questioning looks from Axel and Hardy, he explained: "I'm talking about social software. My dad sometimes pays attention to it." That Facebook, to be honest, Xiang, you don’t even have a Facebook, it’s really not fashionable at all.”

"Oh, that's right." Xiang Yang didn't even have the intention to refute Little John's jokes.

What’s wrong if you don’t have a Facebook account?

I will buy Facebook stocks from now on. You idiot, do you know how many times my Google and Apple stocks have doubled?

"So, does Xiang mean to use movies to show more of our products in the eyes of young people?" Hardy asked.

"Not at all."

Xiang Yang shook his head, "Just like the 'Sports Series' I hosted."

Hearing the words "Sports Series", Axel immediately put down the coffee in his hand. Among the four people present, he knew better than Xiang Yang what this series meant. Pierre and Patrick's views on this series were clear. High hopes.

"I think its own design ideas are completely contrary to our Hermès style." Xiang Yang pursed his lips and proactively revealed his true thoughts that he wanted to express with this series. "It lacks strong fashion attributes. , focusing more on functions, maybe it won’t cause much discussion in the fashion circle, but it will sell very well.

Because it is a product that everyone can wear out, rather than live on the cover and inside pages of magazines. "

"Indeed."

Axel nodded thoughtfully.

Although Xiang Yang's words were not very clear, his point of view was the same as what Pierre and Patrick felt.

Even though it is obviously a good design, it also has great market potential.

But selling it in Hermès would look awkward.

Because although the starting point of product design is to be youthful and fashionable, after over-emphasis on its sports functionality, it looks like a high-end series of a certain sports brand mixed together.

"It seems that Xiang is aware of this." Axel thought to himself and smiled: "Let's go back to the topic just now."

"'Downton Abbey' will undoubtedly be a very influential work." Xiang Yang said.

"What do you mean, I should care about its next performance?"

Axel frowned.

"Yes, I think during the sponsorship negotiation process, we should emphasize our priority. If it becomes popular, other brands will definitely come to grab it, right?"

Xiang Yang smiled.

"This is for sure." Axel naturally realized this.

ITV spent 6000 million pounds to film a historical drama, and it was impossible for it to be completed in just one season. In his inner calculation, he actually wanted more than Xiangyang.

He wished that the priority of the entire series could be negotiated in this negotiation, so that he could sit back and relax.

Well, as one of the successors of the sixth generation of Hermès, he has not yet had the ability to use the group’s large funds.Pierre's statement at the meeting also showed that although he was optimistic, he was still very cautious when making decisions.

After all, money is hard to make.

The few of them chatted for a few more words and were about to break up and go back to their homes when Xiangyang's phone rang.

Seeing that the call was from Darren, Xiang Yang gave a sly smile.

He has been busy with other things recently and really doesn't have time to make the two important costumes for "Black Swan" with his own hands.

"Hey, Darren, the feathers for Natalie's ballet costume haven't been delivered yet. Are you worried?"

"No, Xiang, the movie may have to be delayed for a while."

Darren said this in a low tone, showing that he was in a very bad mood. The diagnosis result of Mila Kunis's fracture has come out. The doctor concluded that it will take about 6-8 weeks. Able to heal.

In other words, she missed about 2 months of dance training.

In the movie "Black Swan", her character needs to show no less dancing scenes than Natalie, the protagonist, so...

"It's so serious." Xiang Yang made a gesture, moved a little away, covered the phone and asked, "Natalie must be very sad, right?"

"Yes." Darren nodded.

Mila Kunis is a good friend of Natalie Portman, and the relationship between the two is very close.

Because of this, Natalie has always supported the other party to play this role, and Mila Kunis is also willing to reduce the salary to realize her friend's long-cherished wish for many years.

"Let me send you a message first. After all, you helped find the sponsorship for Hermès. I have discussed it with the producer and am going to go to Paris to explain it to your public relations department in person, but I want to treat you to a meal first. meal."

Darren said, looking sideways at Natalie, who was accompanying Mila Kunis in the ward, and added: "Natalie also expressed regret about this incident."

<divclass="contentadv">"Oh, it's okay. You guys are here."

Xiang Yang didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

As for movies, they have to be made anyway, sooner or later.If it were later, he wouldn't have to rush to make the clothes. The other party called him to explain the situation and help him find some leisure time. He couldn't bear the slightest blame in his heart.

On the other end of the phone, Darren frowned.

The delay in filming the film has made it even worse for the crew, which was already short on budget.

After hanging up the phone and discussing with the producer at the door of the ward, Natalie walked out of the ward.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two of them, Natalie, whose eyes were slightly red, knew what decision the two had made. She felt a little aggrieved for her friend and sniffed.

This is the reality of Hollywood, and she has no reason to blame the other party.

"Are you going to Paris tomorrow?" Natalie looked at the two of them helplessly.

Darren said: "Well, I just contacted Xiang. In two days, he has been a little busy recently.

We plan to ask him out for dinner first to see if he can help us win over Hermès. "

"Then I'll go with you." Natalie pursed her lips.

The producer was stunned and said, "Natalie, just leave this matter to us. Please stay with Mira more. She needs you more now."

Hearing this, Natalie looked gratefully at the producer sent by Fox, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, she is very strong, and this movie also needs me."

Yes, the worst possible thing is to wear yoga pants again.

Natalie thought so.

Back in front of Axel and others, Xiang Yang briefly talked about what happened on the "Black Swan" crew, and then they returned to the company.

Due to time constraints, they each returned to their offices to tidy up briefly and then dispersed.

Xiang Yang called Liu Qianqian directly and asked his girlfriend what she wanted to eat for dinner. He bought it on the way and took it back.After Axel organized his thoughts, he walked directly into Pierre's office.

Little John drove his old car and chatted with JCE about everything that happened today.

Listening to his youngest son's description, JCE, who had just had dinner at home, sat at his favorite three-legged table, sipping the black tea his wife had brewed for him, and thinking to himself.

"You mean that Xiangyang is very optimistic about the future development of movies?"

"More than just being optimistic, he is so stupid that he has to spend his own money to invest in the movie."

Little John grinned. He was happiest when he was disparaging his friends in front of his father because doing so could improve his image in his father's mind.

"Oh, that's right." JCE nodded after hearing this.

"But fortunately, Xiang has a reliable friend like me. When the time comes, I will accompany him to meet the director and producer of "Black Swan."" When Little John, who was looking at the car, mentioned this, he couldn't take any time off. When he complained about Xiang Yang, it was obvious that he wanted to ask for more money to hire another actor.

Why can't this guy see it?

This was a partnership to steal money, but he had specifically inquired about it. In Hollywood, unless there is a special relationship, the remuneration is not paid until the movie is finished.Besides, if you are injured, isn’t there an insurance company?

Thinking about it, he felt Xiang Yang was stupid.

However, in his sarcastic laughter, JCE's interest was aroused, "Oh? What happened?"

"It's nothing, but dad, let me tell you. Xiang doesn't understand it yet like you do. He doesn't even care about Facebook."

When JCE, who had just become curious, heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

On Facebook, while listening to Little John's talk, he opened the notebook he used to trade stocks.

After logging into his stock trading account and discovering that the company had not yet been listed, he set his sights on Google and Apple stocks.

It has been falling these days.

Seeing the red numbers, JCE couldn't help but think that Xiangyang had put his recent investment in real estate.

On the branches under the moon, after Xiang Yang returned home, while having dinner with Liu Qianqian, they also talked about the crew of "Black Swan".

"Ah, it's so serious!" After hearing Liu Qianqian's explanation, he realized that it turned out...

"Well, otherwise."

It was rare for Liu Qianqian to be a 'teacher' in front of Xiang Yang, and she seemed to be smiling. “Like me and Emma, ​​because we have less scenes, we are paid the normal salary.

When filming starts, there may be some friendly people on the set who are out of the country. It is normal for them not to sign the contract or to sign it afterwards.

However, Natalie and Mila were cast with reduced pay, so the crew probably paid out part of it, just like when I participated in "Midnight in Paris". "

"Oh, I understand." Xiang Yang showed a look of understanding.

He really didn't understand this, because Liu Qianqian's salary last time was about the same time as his payment, so he thought he was paid after signing the contract, but he didn't expect there was a way here.

"That's no wonder Darren and the others came to see me." Xiang Yang showed a helpless expression, "Are you free? Do you want to have dinner with your director and producer?"

"I don't know." Liu Qianqian was equally helpless.

If the time can be fixed, she can give an accurate reply, but the shooting team of "Vogue Medium" is coming, and she has to cooperate with the work there.

“Would you like to see my magazine shoot?”

"Vogue?" Xiang Yang raised an eyebrow, "If I have time, I will definitely go."

"Then we've agreed."

Hearing Xiang Yang's promise, Liu Qianqian's eyes flashed with tenderness.
