Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Su Li naturally followed Li Wei to work in Japan this time, and then Li Ke and Peng Duoli were also named to join the team.Li Ke and Peng Duoli naturally went to prepare passports and luggage under the envious eyes of other company employees.Although it is not difficult to get a visa from China to Japan, the airfare and hotel fees are not so cheap, not to mention that the prices in Japan are much higher than in China.If you go once a year, you might still be able to convince yourself with a vacation, but this time, the company entertains you for free. Naturally, Li Ke and Peng Duoli don't care about going to Tokyo in economy class.Anyway, it's only a two-hour flight, and the economy class is still tolerable.

Unlike Donghai City, which already has the taste of early summer, Tokyo at this time is still a bit chilly in late spring.Fortunately, everyone brought their clothes properly, and this is the time when Tokyo has the most pollen, so everyone wears masks to avoid pollen allergies.

When Li Wei and his party left the airport, they saw the receptionist from Undercover.They didn't just treat Li Wei preferentially because they wanted to shoot commercials, but also because they represented Suzaku Trading and wanted to talk about Undercover's general agency work in Huaxia District. Undercover currently only has stores in Tokyo and Paris, and the parent company has long been eager to promote the brand globally.And their most envious markets are China and the United States. Unfortunately, the United States has little interest in Japanese trendy brands, so Undercover has set its sights on China.The two countries are separated by a strip of water, and their cultures are tied, so the aesthetics are very similar.The success of several Japanese brands in China made Undercover more determined to enter the Chinese market.It's just that the Chinese market doesn't have enough awareness of Undercover, so Japan hasn't been able to find a suitable Chinese agent.

Undercover's headquarters is in one of Japan's fashion centers, the Harajuku district of Tokyo, and the hotel they arranged for Li Wei and others is also located here.After the reception staff arranged everyone, they agreed to pick you up at ten o'clock tomorrow to go to the company headquarters for negotiation.Because there is no need for jet lag from China to Japan, after everyone put their luggage away, they went their separate ways.Li Ke and Peng Duoli went shopping naturally, while Li Wei and Su Li went to investigate Japan's trendy brand industry.

According to Li Wei and Su Li's considerations, with the current capabilities of Suzaku's business, at most it can represent some third-tier fashion brands in Japan. goods.Moreover, this kind of small brand is very particular about matching, and the design is more suitable for Japanese women, so the agent is likely to hit the street when he goes back.Therefore, both Li Wei and Su Li tend to represent some trendy brands. In addition to the current Undercover, Li Wei and Su Li also have a crush on BAPE, Porter and Number(N)ine.

The shipments of fashion brands are not large, and it will be difficult to support a shopping mall.And Li Wei and Su Li plan to transform the first to third floors of the original Qilin old headquarters into SuzakuShop, as a trendy shopping mall.In addition to these Japanese trendy brands, Su Li also suggested purchasing some Chinese local designer brands.Although these brands are not well-known, they are full of design sense.

Due to the need to shoot the next day, Li Wei went back to the hotel to rest first, while Su Li followed Li Wei's instructions to continue the message of Fast Retailing in the lobby.After Li Wei arrived at the hotel, he opened his tablet and checked his email, and received a message from Liang Tian informing him that he was going to participate in the competition.Li Wei told Liang Tian the information about the hotel she was staying in, hoping she could provide two to four invitation letters.

The second day's shooting was done in an advertising company in Tokyo. As the entertainment industry is extremely developed in Japan, this kind of advertising company can be seen everywhere on the streets of Tokyo. Undercover's advertising agency is also well-known in the Japanese industry, and its photographers have won awards in photography exhibitions in Japan.Different from domestic shooting, Japanese advertising companies will give hours-long explanations before inviting models for formal shooting, including what kind of photos the manufacturer hopes to get, and the photographer hopes that the models can match those movements and styles.

However, during the prior communication, the two sides found a big problem.Li Wei's casual wear agency contract has long been signed to non-clothing, which means that Li Wei can't wear any other brand of casual clothes when taking pictures. Naturally, Undercover didn't want Li Wei to wear non-clothes and carry his own bag. After all, Undercover's main business is still casual wear.

Everyone discussed for several hours, and finally Li Wei said by himself: "Well, then I won't wear it. Let's use the bag to cover the key positions. But I have a request, these photos can't be too erotic or obscene. gone."

Hearing Li Wei's proposal, the photographer thought for a while, and his eyes lit up.Everyone in the conference room was wearing thin clothes, and he had already discovered that Li Wei had a good figure.If another model suggested nude shooting, he would definitely hesitate and at least ask to check the first type.But Li Wei obviously doesn't need it, she's pretty enough but not too oppressive to oriental men.After the photographer agreed, so did Undercover's marketing director.So everyone agreed to officially shoot in the afternoon, and the middle time can be used for preparations.

Since Li Wei needs to shoot the whole body, the makeup artist first asked Li Wei to take a milk bath, so that the moisture and brightness of the skin can be naturally improved.After soaking in milk for half an hour, Li Wei washed his body clean and was taken to a room for a massage.The masseur helped Li Wei relax while rubbing skin care lotion on Li Wei.It has to be said that this masseur's skills are excellent, and Li Wei actually fell asleep under his massage.

Under the relaxation of the masseuse, Li Wei quickly fell into a deep sleep, so he only slept for less than an hour, but Li Wei felt that he had slept for several hours.With the milk bath and the help of the masseur, Li Wei only felt that her skin was about to shine.

In the dressing room, Li Wei didn't insist on a thong like some Asian male models.In Li Wei's opinion, since he is a model, the body is a tool for performance. If there is such a strong sense of repulsion towards nudity, it is better to give up this industry.As long as the people he works with are professional enough, Li Wei doesn't mind getting naked|naked.

Several makeup artists helped Li Wei remove hair and correct skin tone. Although Li Wei's skin tone is very uniform, the skin tone in some places is different from other places because of the different duration of sunlight exposure.Moreover, the biggest difference between advertising photos and portrait photos is that advertising photos rarely have backgrounds, and because of the different places where they are posted, too fair skin is a big problem for advertising photos, so the makeup artist also has to make Li Wei's skin color □□A few color numbers lower.

Here Li Wei is putting on makeup, while the studio is busy setting up.Unlike China's work habits, the Japanese are very serious about details.When working with Huaxia photographers, sometimes the models have to endure constant adjustments and tests by the lighting engineer on the spot because the lighting position is wrong or the brightness is not enough.But it is different in Japan, where there will be special testers instead of Li Wei to accept the lighting test.The Japanese can't wait for Li Wei to come and pose and take pictures.

After working for three or four hours, Li Wei appeared in the studio wrapped in a bathrobe.Li Wei's skin color was corrected by the makeup artist to the most popular wheat color in Japan recently, which also made Li Wei's masculine beauty stand out a lot.Even Li Wei himself is very satisfied with this skin tone, thinking about whether to go for a tan, to keep the skin tone to this wheaten color.Li Wei's short hair was dyed bronze, and with the help of hairspray, it was made very metallic.

After entering the studio, the photographer cleared out some unnecessary personnel, and then Li Wei took off his bathrobe, and made various shapes with the bag according to the photographer's requirements.Li Wei's Japanese and English are accumulated by the trainees. However, because he studied in the United States later, Li Wei's English is equivalent to a second mother tongue, and Japanese can reach the level of listening, speaking, and reading.Therefore, there is no obstacle in the communication between Li Wei and the photographer. In addition, Li Wei's modeling talent is extremely high, so the feeling required by the photographer is not particularly difficult for Li Wei.

After shooting for about an hour, the photographer thought that he had captured all the material he wanted, and signaled Li Wei to leave. After saying goodbye to the on-site staff, Li Wei went to the lounge next to him to remove his makeup.The photographer, the advertising director of Undercover, and Su Li are checking the photos taken. The photographer wants to confirm that everything he feels has been captured, the advertising director hopes that he has all the materials he needs, and Su Li wants to confirm that there are no scenes that are exhausted. was recorded.

It's not that Su Li judges a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, but some unscrupulous producers secretly left some indecent photos and leaked photos of celebrities, and then posted them to the media through a third party during the promotion period.The manufacturer is happy, but the celebrity has left a stain that cannot be washed away in this lifetime.

Although Li Wei's complexion has been tanned a lot, under the light, the natural luster of Li Wei's skin is still revealed.And the luster of this skin and the jewel luster on the Undercover bag complement each other, making the Undercover bag extraordinarily classy.

The advertising director of Undercover couldn't help being overjoyed, and Su Li was also very satisfied.This kind of high-end advertising photo is also very helpful for models, and it is easy for models to get the attention of other manufacturers.

After Li Wei and Su Li returned to the hotel, the nominal president of Suzaku Trading also rushed to the hotel to meet them.

"Currently, the news I have received is that Porter and Number(N)ine have a relatively high desire for cooperation. Because Porter has little reputation in China, they are eager for someone to help develop the Chinese market; and Number(N)ine has already They have just closed their stores in Paris and New York, and are eager to reap profits in the Chinese market. BAPE has little desire. They have successfully entered the Chinese market through the Internet and buyer stores. The current situation is quite satisfactory. As for Undercover, their attitude is very ambiguous, and I am not sure."

"They are really stubborn Japanese." Li Wei sighed.

The Japanese's business ability is actually not bad, but the Japanese love to do business step by step. No wonder Japanese companies always find Koreans as executives.In comparison, the wolf nature of the Koreans is much stronger than that of the Japanese.Obviously they can occupy the market, but they give up for various strange reasons. Li Wei doesn't know what to say about them.

"For Porter and Number(N)ine, we want their exclusive agency rights for ten years. At the same time, we need a supplementary agreement. Once our sales exceed their expectations, they must transfer their shares to us. We don't want It’s just making a wedding dress for someone. Also, can you make an appointment with the person in charge of BAPE and Undercover? Let’s talk to them directly, always hiding behind is not an option.”
