Chapter Eighty-Eight: This State
"Why don't I go and see if I can help you first?" Chao Changchang took the initiative to ask.
"This ...... Not quite appropriate, right?" Ding Jincong replied with some hesitation.
He came to find Yun Chaochao.
To do design, the most taboo is that there are too many people in the middle.
Everyone's opinions and aesthetics are different.
Some people like fashion-forward designs, and some people like coconut palm brand coconut water.
It's not necessarily anyone's point of view that is good and who is not, but there is no doubt about one thing – communicating directly with the final decision-maker is the most time-saving.
I came into contact with a bunch of people, gained a bunch of opinions, changed them over and over again, and in the end, none of them were the boss's preferences, so I was destined to do useless work.
The boss wants the coconut tree brand coconut water, you have to have a good store and Weilong spicy strips, no matter how satisfied you are, the boss will not be satisfied.
The other designers in the studio are just too ego to become supervisors.
Ding Jincong is because he knows how to communicate effectively, so he will stand out in the same group of designers.
"My grades are okay, the sixteen handwritten notes in the [Peerless Cheats] series have always been placed in my place before, and I am quite familiar with the content inside. "The tide is long and long, and it does not mean to be airborne or overstepping.
"There should still be a difference between being familiar with the content and mastering the content, right? We are the main name of this year's new champion, if we don't choose well, we will make a joke when we turn around, and we will not lose the face of our boss?"
Ding Jincong had no idea of compromise at all.
After saying that, I felt that what I said might be a little inappropriate.
Ding Jincong decided to remedy it: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you can make jokes or something, but haven't we also worked together, you were in charge of graffiti and brand logo at the time, which is particularly refreshing, but the theme of each of our shows is different, and in the end, we still have to ask the boss to make a decision." ”
"Understood. I'm just going to take a look first, your boss she just fell asleep, it's really not good, wait for dawn to wake her up, do you think this is okay?" Chao Changchang insisted on letting Yun Chaochao sleep a little longer.
Ding Jincong was depressed.
Because Yun Chaochao has never shied away from it, he has already seen the relationship between Chao Changchang and his boss.
There is nothing wrong with him being the boss's employee and thinking about the boss, but if he is the boss's boyfriend, he must also think about the boss.
However, a relationship is a relationship, design is design, and a show is a show.
The previous [Burning Cloud Series], the tide is long and long, which actually provides a graffiti pattern.
I didn't really have much to do with fashion design.
It is precisely because of this that the signature of the [Fire Cloud Series] will be Ding Jincong's.
is not from a professional background, just because he is the boss's boyfriend, he intervenes.
If the boss finally agrees with the plan put forward by Chao Changchang, then it's okay to say.
If you don't agree, you have to go back and change everything.
Doing this, as usual, is actually not too much of a problem.
It's not a bad thing to make the boss's boyfriend happy after all.
But the problem is that I will go to Chengdu in two days to start the layout of the press conference.
MKFairWill has a competitive mechanism.
The series of [Peerless Cheats] is related to him and the head of the No. 2 warehouse studio cluster, who can be the director.
At this juncture, it is really not suitable for useless work.
But Chao Changchang had already discussed it with him like this, and he didn't take advantage of his boyfriend who was the boss, so he directly pointed fingers or dictated.
Ding Jincong really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
He is not Lin Duoyi, who has almost no workplace experience, on the contrary, he is better at handling workplace relationships.
Designers, in general, are more individual, at this point.
Ding Jincong belongs to the least strong personality and the highest degree of cooperation.
Otherwise, he would not have gotten the opportunity to co-brand with [Graffiti Artist], and take this opportunity to become the head of the No. 1 Designer Studio Cluster.
Chao Changchang left after the successful release of the [Burning Cloud Series], and Ding Jincong was even more convinced of the idea that Yun Chaochao and [Graffiti Artist] were only cooperating by chance.
After discovering that Chao Changchang and Yun Chaochao were boyfriend and girlfriend, Ding Jincong was a little apprehensive.
He had always thought that he had been able to get the job of painting graffiti and brand logo for MKFairWill because of his talent.
Now, it may not be the case at all.
This realization made Ding Jincong wonder if the [Fire Cloud Series] sold better than other series, whether it was because of his brilliant design, or because of the tilt of various resources.
If his boss is a love brain, then does he want to follow, or how long can he follow.
When he came to the No. 1 warehouse, Chao Changchang immediately entered the state of picking out clothes for the show.
Soon he chose six pieces of clothes with some similar patterns and put them in front of Ding Jincong: "I think this series should meet your needs." ”
Ding Jincong took a closer look, and the apprehension in his heart increased a little more: "Is it because I can't understand the formula? We have a total of 16 notebooks, each notebook has more than 100 pages, the same question, if we get six clothes, how many sets of clothes do we have to walk this show?"
"Don't you think this formula is beautiful? Moreover, although the topic is the same, the solutions are different, even I can only think of four solutions at most, Chao Chao thought of six, and I thought it was very powerful when I saw it for the first time. That's the beauty of mathematics. Chao Changchang and Ding Jincong explained their reasons for choosing these six clothes.
"I don't see the beauty of a formula. "Ding Designer Jin Cong has never experienced the beauty of mathematics once since he was a child.
"Don't you want to ask Boss Yun to help you confirm what content is [particularly level at a glance]? This group is probably the most suitable for the requirements. Tide Chang emphasized the reason why he chose these clothes from the same notebook.
"But the diversity of the press conference is also very important, and such a similar six pieces of clothing are a bit too resource-intensive. ”
"You have a point, but that's what I guessed. Most of the clothes here are taken from different pages of the champion's notes, only these six, the pages are so intact, they should have been approved at the beginning, and this group of shows is definitely not a big problem. Chao, Xueba, and Changchang expressed their opinions through their understanding of their girlfriends.
"Are you sure? But the styles and versions of these six clothes are too similar, and the differences in hue, brightness, and purity are also very small, and if you don't look carefully, you may misinterpret them as one. ”
"That's a real problem. That's what I think, you can go to two extremes, either you can just make it exactly the same style and layout, and make it like a game of finding differences, and you have to be very serious to find out what the difference is, or the design will work on the details of each piece of clothing. For example...... here"
Chao Chang took a pen and paper and began to draw.
In no more than ten minutes, the tide drew six pictures.
Chao Changchang took the sketch to Ding Jincong and asked his opinion: "The current situation is that the clothes have been made, and if you need to redo it, it may not be too late, can we let everyone see the new ideas in the unity through these careful thoughts on the sleeves and back?"
The long drawing of the tide is a cartoon version of six mathematical tools - a compass, a ruler, a triangle, a protractor, a pencil sharpener, and a right-angled scale.
Each tool is displayed with an anthropomorphic cartoon image.
Looks like a family of mathematical tools.
Each cartoon character can embody the characteristics and functions of these mathematical tools very vividly.
Although each tool is a few strokes, it is vivid enough.
Ding Jincong was a little surprised: "When did you think about this?"
"I just saw these clothes made out of math notes. Tide Chang replied.
"You can draw six math tool cartoons at a glance at those clothes? Even where to put the clothes are marked, are you studying fashion design?" Ding Jincong's attitude began to change.
"I haven't studied. My first feeling after reading the clothes is that Boss Yun's words are too good-looking, and such a large neat text picture seems to be a bit too neat for a trendy brand. I just wanted to add a little bit of playfulness and offbeat elements, and then I thought of mathematical tools. Chao Chang introduced his own design ideas.
"I haven't studied it. Ding Jincong was even more surprised: "Then why do you draw such a serious mathematical tool as it looks like a sketch?"
"If you use mathematical tools alone, it will still be a little dull, and if you turn these tools into cartoon characters, it will feel more like a trendy brand. Chao Chang explained.
"You're drawing too fast, aren't you? It all feels like you're making direct copies, not drawings. ”
"It's just a sketch, and it's going to be faster. "Chao Changchang really doesn't understand and hasn't studied fashion design, but he is also a person who has participated in haute couture fashion weeks.
The design is not, but what kind of clothes he wants, he has always been clear.
After seeing the speed and quality of Chaochang's sketches, Ding Jincong's previous resistance was gone.
After he knew that Chao Changchang was his boss's boyfriend, he was a little frustrated, thinking that Chao Changchang was the kind of [artist] who only focused on graffiti, and accidentally sprayed a burning cloud, and then under the [special care] of the cloud boss, the image of the burning cloud became the brand logo of MKFairWill.
Now, however, I have a new understanding.
Of course, he can also draw cartoon sketches of tools, but he will never be able to draw them so quickly, and it is impossible to come up with six images at once, and all of them are so expressive.
Putting aside his prejudices, Ding Jincong began to seriously discuss the ready-to-wear of the sixteen studios in Warehouse No. 1 with Chao Changchang.
There are sixteen studios in Warehouse No. 1, and each studio is assigned a copy of the [Peerless Secret Book], and then starts designing based on the content recorded in that secret book.
MKFairWill has more than one studio cluster.
Warehouse 2 also has sixteen studios, all of which are equipped with the same configuration.
There are a total of sixteen [peerless cheats], but there are as many as thirty-two studios.
This means that for every notebook, there will be two studios working on the design at the same time.
In the end, on the show, each book is a choice of two.
It's a competition between Studio One and Cluster Two
And that's not all, there are sixteen [Peerless Cheats] in total, but there are only nine subjects to be tested in high school.
At the end of the conference, each course will form a small series.
This means that there are at least seven groups that will go through a secondary elimination mechanism.
Finally, let's see which cluster of designers has more small series.
Yun Chaochao takes the [Peerless Cheats] series as one of the criteria for the performance appraisal of the cluster leader.
This is the competition mechanism that Yun Chaochao developed when he took over MKFairWill.
She felt that the original MKFairWill was a bit too bland, and the design was not new enough, so it was better not to have the original design director and change it to this kind of competition mechanism for young designers.
Ding Jincong instantly felt that his luck exploded again.
Boss Yun never said that he couldn't discuss it with others.
If the National Day show in Chengdu, five or more of the nine small series are from the No. 1 designer studio cluster, then he should be one step away from the position of director of MKFairWill.
Fortunately, he didn't start and turned away the tide chief who wanted to give advice.
Ding Jincong has already thought about it, as long as Chao Changchang doesn't say that he is tired, Ding Jincong will discuss with Chao Changchang all the way from studio to studio.
The longer the tide is on his side, the less chance there is for Studio Two to cluster.
Based on Ding Jincong's observation, Chao Changchang may not be aware of the competition between clusters 1 and 2.
In this way, it is better to close the door of cluster 1 directly, so that the number 2 thinks that they are all sleeping, and it is better to relax their vigilance.
Designer Ding was a little excited at this moment, and the only thing that worried him a little was whether doing so would be counted as unfair competition.
Ding Jincong recalled it carefully, and then gave up this idea that there was a certain risk.
Chao Changchang actually went to the No. 2 warehouse first, and then he was invited to No. 1.
The people in the No. 2 designer studio cluster didn't think of discussing the [Peerless Cheats] series with Chao Changchang at all.
Thinking about it like this, Ding Jincong felt that there was no need to even close the door.
If you have to do more, it may be self-defeating.
At half past three in the morning in the industrial area.
It hasn't had time for autumn yet, and there is no more sweltering heat in midsummer.
Even if you don't have the air conditioner on, you can sleep peacefully.
Scattered factories emit sporadic lights.
Scattered machines, sporadic sounds.
Most of the factories are asleep, but the MKFairWill is brightly lit.
The tide is like a machine that has just been run-in, running tirelessly at high speed.
I hadn't closed my eyes for nearly 24 hours, but I didn't feel tired at all.
This state made Chao Changchang himself a little surprised.
