The Pentium Era - South to North

By November 20th, all the sample clothes for the fashion show had been produced. The fifteen sample workers transferred from the factory were arranged to go back to the factory. Zhao Zhilong still stayed here, and he had to take them with him The sample workers in the design center continue to complete the sample clothes for the order fair, and also see if there is any need to add to the clothes for the fashion show.

Wenwen and Qianqian directed the designers to push out the hangers in the warehouse row by row. It was a sunny afternoon, and the November sun was warm on their bodies. Zhang Chen and He Hongmei They took a chair and sat in the yard, Ge Ling stood behind them.

The designers launched two hangers at a time. On the two hangers, there were a total of thirty-six sets of clothes. When they arrived on the T stage, it was just like the models had completed a queue.

Zhang Chen looked at the clothes on these two rows of hangers, closed his eyes, and imagined those models wearing them passing by him. If the imaginary picture was beautiful, Zhang Chen waved his hand and let them pass, and changed two When the hangers come over, this batch of clothes is considered complete and no longer needs to be modified.

If there was any doubt, he would ask Wenwen and Qianqian to pause. He discussed with He Hongmei and Ge Ling to see if there were any adjustments or additions. He Hongmei took a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one.

They worked like this for more than three hours before finishing all the clothes.

After it was over, He Hongmei and Ge Ling became excited. They felt that this would definitely be a successful show, but Zhang Chen felt that there was still something lacking. He felt that the "poetry" part seemed a little weaker, because all of this part The clothes are all in a combination of black and white, and the colors are not as rich as those in the other three units, which makes people feel unsatisfied.

Zhang Chen thought to himself that some elements need to be added to make this part fuller.

Zhang Chen called Lao Tang and asked him to come over.

Zhang Chen and He Hongmei returned to Zhang Chen's office. Zhang Chen went to the cabinet and took out a large pile of materials prepared for the fashion show. He found several poetry books among them and put them on At the conference table, He Hongmei took a book and opened it. After a while, she laughed softly.

Zhang Chen took a look and saw that what she was holding was a copy of "The Wind of Hui" by Wang Jingzhi.

Wang Jingzhi is one of the members of the Hupan Poetry Society. The Hupan Poetry Society was established by Feng Xuefeng, Pan Mohua, Ying Xiuren, and Wang Jingzhi in 1922 during the New Culture Movement on the bank of the West Lake in Hangzhou, so it is called Hupan Poetry Society is one of the literary groups with certain influence in the history of new literature after the May 4th Movement.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Chen asked.

He Hongmei said: "The threshold for poets at that time was really low. This is considered poetry, as if it was written by a child."

As He Hongmei spoke, she read out softly: "Where did the wind come from/the wind from the flower blossoms -/the warm wind from the flower blossoms?/The flowers are locked deep in the garden/I am full of resentment/I have a delicate fragrance." Sneak out of the garden/to attract the butterfly I love..."

As she read, He Hongmei couldn't help but laughed again. Zhang Chen said to her:

"This is normal. At that time, they were still trying to use vernacular. The language of Hu Shi's "Trial Collection" was also very simple, including Liu Bannong's "Teach Me How to Miss Her", the same thing, and only Guo Moruo's "Phoenix Nirvana" , the words are very gorgeous, but do you feel that there is a kind of simplicity and liveliness in this kind of poem?"

He Hongmei stopped laughing and nodded. That's quite a bit.

"Especially the word '伊', which seems to have been created by Liu Bannong. This word is so good. It's much better than 'she'. When you hear it, don't you immediately feel that there is a gentleness of bowing your head? Using 'she', it's It’s really a waste to mix women with bad men.”

Zhang Chen said, and He Hongmei laughed. She said okay, Master, on behalf of the women, thank you for apologizing for them.

Zhang Chen also laughed.

"What do you think of calling Old Tang here?" He Hongmei asked.

Zhang Chen nodded and said: "Let's be more straightforward. Since that unit is called 'Poetry', I want to simply move 'Poetry' into it and turn the team of models into a flowing poetry gallery. This way This can make this unit richer.”

"How to do it?" He Hongmei asked.

"Let's wait until Old Tang comes."

He Hongmei smiled and said: "Are you still afraid that if you open your mouth, this idea will escape?"

"It seems that there is really such a worry." Zhang Chen said, "I want to wait for Old Tang to come, finish what he said in one breath, and let him do it immediately after finishing speaking, and will not accept refutations or different opinions. Anyway, I think, here Just need this.”

"Domineering!" He Hongmei scolded.

Zhang Chen nodded: "Yes!"

Before anyone arrived, Old Tang's voice came from outside: "Commander, I'm here, what are your orders?"

Old Tang followed the voice and walked in. He Hongmei looked at him and cursed: "Old Tang, aren't you going to be confused?"

"What's wrong?" Old Tang asked.

"You call him Marshal, Boss, Brother, and Mr. Zhang. I'm confused. Who is he to you?" He Hongmei asked.

Both Old Tang and Zhang Chen laughed. Old Tang said: "It depends on the occasion and atmosphere. You can change it freely. He asked me to come now. Needless to say, I know that it must be for the fashion show. It is during the war." , wouldn’t it be more appropriate to call him Marshal?”

He Hongmei couldn't laugh or cry.

"Tell me, Marshal, what's the matter?" Old Tang asked Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen told Lao Tang about his current confusion. Lao Tang waved his hand and said, I don't know anything about fashion shows, let alone poetry. Brother, just tell me what you need me to do.

Zhang Chen said, I want to add the element of "poetry" to the queue of models. Every five or six models, there is a model like this walking, all black or all white, with poetry printed on it, and the black one with poetry printed on it. The white poem, the black poem printed on the white, is made of knitted fabric.

This costume is very elegant when moving around. Standing there with her hands open, it is like a screen. People in the audience can read the poetry on her body.

Old Tang understood a little, and said, "I understand. The sleeves should be made very wide, like bat sleeves?"

"No, no, it needs to be simple." Zhang Chen said, "It's just a whole piece of fabric. Fold it in half to form the front and back pieces. Dig a hole in the middle and put a cuff on it so that the head can come out. Here are the two arms. Just use two press buttons to fasten it, so that when her arms are spread out, it is a whole piece of fabric."

"Yes, this design is okay." He Hongmei was standing by and agreed, but then she asked: "Why can't we use silk fabric? Silk material is also very suitable for Hangzhou."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "We must consider that it is outdoors. If there is wind that day, the silk will be blown into a flag. The knitted material is heavy enough and has enough drape. Also, the silk fabric is reflective, which is not the case here. It needs to be reflective so people can read the words.”

He Hongmei nodded, understanding.

Zhang Chen and Lao Tang said: "The most important thing is that the characters on it should be made tasteful, like the poems of Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, and Lin Bu, using Song fonts, and the style of the characters should be made like the type of woodblock printing. Xu The poems written by Zhimo and Yu Dafu are written in Yao style, and this one written by Wang Jingzhi is written in handwriting, a very childish style."

Old Tang nodded and said yes, leave it to me. When the manuscript comes out, I will send it to the boss. By the way, when do you want it?

"Can the manuscript be released at night?" Zhang Chen asked.

Old Tang said yes.

Zhang Chen turned around and asked He Hongmei: "What do you think?"

He Hongmei said: "Didn't you say that you won't accept refutation and different opinions?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Now you can disagree."

"Now I don't refute or disagree." He Hongmei said, "I think this idea is very good. In this way, this unit can indeed be enriched."

…

All the clothes were ready. Zhang Chen and He Hongmei went through them again and confirmed that no more supplies were needed. Then they shipped all the clothes to the factory, waiting for the models to come and try them on.

All thirty-six models participating in this fashion show will arrive in Hangzhou on the 26th. They will rehearse during the day on the 27th and go to on-site rehearsal in the evening.

Because this time there are two batches of models from two companies, they need to be integrated into a performance team as soon as possible, and prior rehearsal is essential.

The leader of each model company is also their director. When they arrive in Hangzhou, all models, including these two directors, must follow the arrangements of the performance company director and cannot work independently, otherwise the fashion show will be ruined. , turned into a disaster scene.

The rehearsal during the day on the 27th was held on the roof of Zhang Chen's factory. The T stage on the Baidi was 42 meters long. Zhang Chen asked Zhao Zhigang to send someone to use red paint to draw "and" on the roof of the building. The T-stage on Baidi is one-to-one size, so that each model, through rehearsal, can know his/her standing position during the official performance, including the number of steps when walking on the stage.

After all the clothes for the fashion show were moved to the factory, the large team upstairs in the dynamic zone also moved to the factory, including Ge Ling and all the designers below. They will use these few days to complete the factory showroom. All clothing samples are ready.

Zhang Chen and He Hongmei also went to the factory. He Hongmei went to the exhibition hall to help set up the exhibition. Zhang Chen had important things to do. He asked Zhao Zhigang to summon all the workshop directors and supervisors to the conference room. He wanted to hold a meeting for them. , arrange for them to make preparations.

Xiao Huang's arrangement this time was to come to Hangzhou directly in the name of inspecting Hangzhou women's clothing. She was the original industry leader, and now she is also a consultant to the China National Garment Association. It is only natural that Zhang Chen and the others have half an acre of land to inspect Hangzhou women's clothing. , as the largest brand of women's clothing in Hangzhou, it is normal for leaders to come and show concern.

The schedule this time is that on the afternoon of the 28th, the group will inspect Zhang Chen’s factory and attend their fashion show in the evening. Accompanying her to inspect and attend the fashion show is the president of the China Garment Association, There are also provincial and municipal leaders.

Zhang Chen held a meeting with Zhao Zhigang and others to explain clearly to them the importance of this event.
