Chapter 165: Artistic Vision
At half past nine in the evening, in the café in the lobby of the Jingcheng Hotel.
Pierre Caton and Song Huagui, who were chatting over coffee, were also talking about what they had seen and heard today.
"Song, what do you think of the young people who came today?"
Song Huaijia thought about it seriously before answering.
"The two girls who stayed behind are tall enough, much better than those girls who came in the past. But weight, measurements, leg length, back width, etc., are obviously far from the requirements of real models. The key is still lack of self-confidence, as well as the bad physical habits that you develop every day. I'm afraid I'm going to have to do a lot of work to convince them to stay and train and overcome their physical problems. It's been less than three months since the show, and I think it's going to be a tough time for the two of them to finally live up to the standards you'd expect......"
Pierre Caton didn't make a clear statement on this.
He smiled and moved on to the next question.
"Are you satisfied with the assistant I got for you? I think you might be able to leave a problem like this to him. What do you think?"
Song Huaigui was a little stunned, and seemed surprised that Pierre Caton valued Ning Weimin.
"You mean the young man named Ning Weimin? He seems to have a deep understanding of the fashion industry and has a unique insight. To my surprise, he was also quite eloquent and the kind of person who could influence others. It's just that I don't know him well yet, so I can't really rest assured at the moment......"
Pierre Caton shook his coffee spoon, and a crisp sound interrupted Song Huaigui's words.
"Song, as a manager of an enterprise, you should let your subordinates share some unimportant work, otherwise you will be tired. Frankly, there was no way to juggle too many things in the past, and I've always wanted to make it easier for you. You've been looking tired lately and I'm really worried about your health. ”
Song Huagui smiled slightly, his face showing a little emotion, but he still insisted on reserving his opinion.
"Thank you, thank you for your kindness. However, trust always needs a process, doesn't it? I have always believed that only a full understanding can establish a true tacit understanding. And how can the model team say that it doesn't matter? That affects ......."
“...... It affects the success of the performance. It will affect whether our subsequent steps can be carried out smoothly, and even affect the official evaluation and trust in us. Yes, I know that. The model team is an important part. ”
Pierre Cottonon took her words and nodded in agreement.
And then, he changed his words and reminded her in a slightly serious tone.
"But the problem is that not all important things are equally important. It's not all important things that we have to do with our own hands. We must learn to choose the direction of our energy, and we must also learn to trust and let go in moderation. ”
"I hope that Ning will free you from trivial chores and that you can focus your energy on a higher communicative level. This is an urgent need for us right now, and it is a change that we must adapt to. You can't always wear a fancy dress to a cocktail party, and you have to rush to the training venue to talk to the models? No matter how capable you are, you can do it for the same amount of time as everyone else, which is unreasonable. ”
"Song, I can actually understand your concerns. In your country, people are used to doing things in a very cautious way, and people are not very trusting of others. I always like to do it myself, and I am worried that others will make things worse for me. I have to say that prudence is certainly a good virtue. But many times it will be excessive. ”
"Do you know what I believe in? I believe in my own feelings, I believe in opportunities and fate, I believe in the rare talent, and I believe that kindness can be exchanged for kindness, and kindness can be exchanged for gratitude. ”
"I can tell you why, because when I came to Paris from Italy, and was desperate to drink in a tavern, it was a countess who was attracted by my clothes and introduced me to work in the Pacan women's fashion store. Two years later, Monsieur Dior saw me only once, talked with me for half an hour, and allowed me to be his first assistant. ”
"They were the ones who changed my life because they appreciated my talent and gave me the opportunity. So I am grateful and have been following their example by providing opportunities and help to other talented people as much as possible. ”
"And it turns out that when I give others a chance, I give myself a chance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found the two supermodels, Isabel and Petra. I won't have two competent managers, Mariss and Briss, either. Of course, I wouldn't have had such a wonderful partner as you. ”
"Now, I've met Ning again, and he's undoubtedly a very talented guy as well. And I can see in his eyes that I am just like I was back then, and I want to succeed. So I have reason to believe that this time, too, will find a very good subordinate for you. Maybe it's a bit superstitious, but I think it's all meant to be. ”
Pierre Caton's words are thought-provoking.
Song Huaigui couldn't help but be silent, and thought thoughtfully.
In the end, I don't know if she was infected by the emotions expressed in Pierre Caton's words.
Or choose to respect Pierre Carton's position and authority.
She finally smiled and changed her mind.
"Since you think so highly of him, then I am willing to believe him. After all, you are older than me, and I believe in your life experience, and you must be more knowledgeable than I am. ”
This is really just right, not only complimenting the other party, but also bringing himself down the stairs by the way.
Therefore, Pierre Caton couldn't help but show a relieved expression and heartfelt approval.
"It's always a pleasure to talk to you. Song, you are really the most talkative assistant. ”
It's just that he doesn't accept such compliments in its entirety.
For the sake of professional characteristics, he deliberately emphasized.
"However, Song, you have to understand that this is not really a life experience, but an artist's sensitive intuition. ”
"People and things always have their own charm, but they are hidden by ordinary circumstances. If you want to discover these treasures buried in the dust, life experience will not work, you need an artistic eye. ”
"It's like the ones you draw with your own hands. Isn't the fundamental purpose of your painting to condense the beauty that people have neglected and let them see it? And is this something that ordinary people can do? Of course not, only artists can do it. ”
"It's the same, just like the clothes I designed. I created them for life, and that life doesn't exist – that represents the world of tomorrow. ”
The old man's persistence and pride inevitably made Song Huagui embarrassed.
But she didn't expect Pierre Caton to be surprisingly confident in this regard, and he was extremely stubborn to reiterate again.
"You don't believe me? Why don't we make a bet? You don't think much of the two girls who came here today, do you? But I bet they will be the best performers in the modeling team.
"We've had a lot of models in the past, and they've all been beautiful, but none of them really touched me. To this day, I actually saw two at once. ”
"Frankly speaking, the Oriental model I imagined was exactly like these two girls today, beautiful and unknowing. ”
When Song Huaijia heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised by Pierre Caton's unique concept again, and he was even more shocked by the high praise he rarely expressed.
I couldn't help but seriously began to speculate about what was so special about the two girls.
Seeing Song Huagui's reaction, Pierre Caton seemed quite proud.
He secretly showed a mischievous smile on his face that did not match his age.
Stirring the coffee spoon again, then gently picked up his coffee cup.
