October 18, 1981 was the official date of Pierre Carton's runway show.

The venue of the press conference was finally set in the Golden Ballroom of the Beijing Hotel.

With intensive preparations, everything seems to be in order.

However, there are many good things.

The more important the event and the wider the plan, the more likely it is to have all kinds of unexpected problems.

As the so-called plan can't catch up, it is impossible not to go wrong when things come to an end, and many things that catch people off guard will come colorfully, which is the objective law.

First of all, out of the fact that the word "model" is used in the West but is very unfamiliar to the Chinese people, the higher-level leaders have opinions.

They generally think that "model" and "fashion" are both foreign names, which are a bit of a low-level taste.

So unlike the fashion show held at the Palace of Nationalities in March,

The above made a temporary instruction, requiring that the event must be renamed "Costume Show".

All "models" should also be changed to "costume performers".

As a result, all the advertising posters and textual propaganda things that were made in advance were in vain, and all the things had to be replaced.

You know, this is not the era of inkjet printers and PS software, and most of the propaganda is hand-drawn.

This is true for both pictures and fine arts.

As a result, the time was tight, and it was difficult for the hired artist to complete it independently.

This matter forced even Song Huagui, who graduated from the oil painting department, to light the lamp and boil the oil and go into battle in person, so that it could be regarded as a round for Hu.

Secondly, the last rehearsal also had an accident.

For this fashion show, the clothes used are all made in France.

Although the models have long wanted to see what they are wearing these clothes.

But it wasn't until the first two days of the show, during the last rehearsal, that they saw the clothes flown in from France.

At that time, when they saw these more than 100 outfits, the models were simply stunned.

One is that everyone has never seen such a fashion texture.

The suits and dresses of the male models are all velvet.

The texture is almost like a swan's feathers.

Very velvet, very rich, with a particularly good feel, and a matching bow tie and belt.

And the girls wore evening dresses made of silk.

There are many colors, including sea blue, purple red, bright red, black, and dark blue.

It's gorgeous, supple, smooth and gorgeous, and it's really beautiful.

The second is that everyone never thought of seeing the style of clothing.

Men's clothing is okay, the evening dresses worn by the key girls are too bold.

In addition to off-the-shoulder clothing, there are also back-baring ones.

Although these clothes are of course very conservative in Ning Weimin's eyes.

But for others, it's a subversive cognitive bombardment.

At that time, people's thoughts were particularly simple.

The girls have almost the same idea, they all think that if they show their arms today, they can show their thighs tomorrow.

If you dress like this, then you will learn badly? How can you behave in society?

So many of the girls became afraid.

Those newcomers who have not officially stepped onto the stage, no girl will wear them.

Song Huagui had no choice but to do ideological work for these girls on behalf of the foreign party.

While patiently explaining the meaning of these costumes, it helps everyone to unify their understanding.

At the same time, she also asked the veterans to dress up by example.

He also said that everyone has been practicing for so long, isn't it just for the day of the stage?

This has to be postponed temporarily, but it will be in vain, what a pity.

This finally moved some of the girls.

But the biggest problem is that Pierre Catton's most optimistic seedling, Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili, are more timid than anyone else, and they don't agree.

How can this work?

There was no way to say it, so Song Huagui had to let Ning Weimin try to talk about it.

It must be said that Ning Weimin is quite smart.

He didn't persuade directly, but calmly chatted with the two girls as if they were bored.

After chatting like this, he gradually guessed the psychology of the two girls.

Ning Weimin found that the biggest concern of the two of them was not that they were ashamed and didn't dare to wear such fashion.

is afraid of letting acquaintances know, especially worried that he will be known by his family and will be scolded when he goes home.

Ning Weimin said to the two girls, "Don't worry, this kind of performance is not available to ordinary people." Internally, the policy of three noes should be implemented. No reporting, no photography, no video. ”

"The reporters who came that day were all foreigners, and the way you wore such clothes was that at most only foreign newspapers would publish a few photos, and even the "Reference News" would not be published. ”

"Xiao Shi, you are a child of a soldier, you should know the level of secrecy. Don't look at your parents in the army, they can't see them at that level......"

As soon as they talked about the effect, sure enough, the two girls' expressions immediately eased, and they were obviously relieved.

So in order to completely dispel all their hesitation, Ning Weimin began to talk sweetly again, and he didn't want to boast about money.

said that they have practiced so far, and they are already the most temperamental and beautiful girls in the team.

also said that Pierre Caton always praised them as the best and most charming models in the entire modeling team.

Therefore, they are very likely to go abroad and become world supermodels and national treasure-level beauties.

If there really is such a day, they stand on the international fashion stage, and it is very likely that they will blind the eyes of foreigners......

Then think about it, these two girls are nineteen and sixteen, and they are not very old.

I've never heard anyone compliment them on how beautiful they are.

Where can you stop Ning Weimin from being so inciting?

So I was flattered, and I was told to be moved in a daze, and we all agreed to change clothes.

In this way, the final result is not bad, and most people have overcome the psychological barrier.

Only two of the girls couldn't get over it and chose to quit.

But the costume troubles aren't over yet.

The clothes tailored to the body of European models were too wide for Chinese models, and Pierre Carton and designer Andre Olivier, who had traveled from France, urgently consulted and made adjustments.

Hats and accessories can only be rematched.

Some of the clothes were pinned with pins, and some simply sewed the back, pinching the time to modify the size overnight.

I finally finalized the clothing size and model list.

But the day of stopping rehearsals and giving the models a break was bad again.

Because for all models, nervousness is inevitable.

Especially since this one is completely different from the one in March.

The venue for this performance is the Beijing Hotel, not a small hall of the Palace of Nationalities.

The venue covers an area of 2,000 square meters, flanked by golden columns, and has a strong palace-style architectural style, which can be called splendid.

What kind of formation is this?

These models look at their backgrounds, but almost all of them are young dicks from the bottom, selling vegetables, burning bricks, and making carpets......

Their psychological quality can be imagined.

The key is that this time it is not a purely internal performance, the Ministry of Economy and Trade and the Ministry of Textiles have also jointly invited many foreign media.

Even before the final disbandment, Song Huagui and everyone's last solemn instructions were.

"You have to tell the truth, you have to tell the foreign journalists what you do, where you live. ”

Think about it, these days, who can have the opportunity to contact foreign media?

As soon as I went home to rest, not to mention the newcomers, even the experienced old people, they began to worry a little.

The reality also follows Murphy's law, the worst will always happen, and early in the morning of the 18th, something happened.
