Chapter 203: Impact
Afterwards, local reporters in Beijing gave high praise to the costume performance of the opening ceremony.
A reporter wrote, "This is a storm that can be called an ideological shock! French Ambassador Pierre Cotton, who has given us a glimpse of the world's fashion trends, is also the creator of new fashion trends." He was inspired by the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Republic, and some of the latest women's clothing he designed was distinctly oriental, reminiscent of our traditional cheongsam, but with a beautiful body line......"
And another journalist wrote.
"French haute couture has officially entered the capital market today. Pierre Caton, the famous French fashion designer, today held a showroom opening for his clothing and accessories, as well as an exhibition. These exhibits will be available for sale in the future. However, the fly in the ointment is that these goods can only be purchased with exchange coupons (foreign exchange coupons) for the time being, and the sales target cannot benefit ordinary people. However, our correspondent was very lucky today. He even got a coat from Pierre Cardin for free. The photojournalist asked the master to take a picture of the exhibit, and then Mr. Caton tore off the label of the coat and said very graciously, 'Mr. Reporter, now it's yours.' ’......”
Another journalist's report goes like this.
"Pierre Caton is no less than a master of contemporary design. The master himself declared that it was his life's honor to borrow the temple of heaven to set up a showroom. In order to thank you for this kindness, in order to express full respect for our traditional culture, people from all over the country are welcome to visit for free and feel the charm of fashion culture. In addition, the master also promised that he would do his best to maintain the ancient building during the opening of the showroom. We are also very willing to fund some art competitions to encourage artists in various fields in our country to create art, and to deepen the friendship and cultural exchanges between the two countries......"
Look, every newspaper is the same, it's completely one-sided praise.
Anyway, you don't need money to praise people, and the major newspapers in the capital are all throwing out a basket of good words!
Unlike domestic reporters who don't have much knowledge, foreign media, who have long seen higher-level performances, focus on other aspects other than the opening ceremony.
There is a correspondent from the Associated Press.
"Pierre Carton has deepened his cooperation with the authorities in the unpopular Republic. His showroom was set up with official support, and products began to be placed on the counters of major shopping malls in Beijing. But it remains to be seen whether the people of the Republic will be able to accept the fashion he brought with him, and whether they will have the ability to buy it. The republic is not Japan after all. Perhaps, Pierre Caton's success will come to an end, and the Republic will bring him his first major investment failure. ”
On the contrary, the French news agency Reuters is optimistic.
"The models of the Republic are good-looking, and the demonstration of domestic fashion has reached the international level. Pierre Caton said he was quite confident that he would introduce Oriental Beauty to the international fashion runway, perhaps tomorrow ......"
Japanese journalists, on the other hand, see the most practical problems.
"Pierre Caton has custom-made 100,000 PC brand hijabs in the Republic and sold them to the United States and France. It is clear that Pierre Caton is quite close to victory, and he will shock the French fashion world again......"
Obviously, whether it is domestic or foreign these reports, whether they are positive or jealous remarks.
Anyway, it is extremely beneficial for the business of Pierre Caton Clothing Company.
Such a sensational effect of free advertising and activities made Pierre Catton famous in a skyrocket.
In the Republic, he became a goodwill ambassador for the people of the capital, and became a friend in the eyes of the government who focused on international cultural exchanges.
Internationally, his goodwill and brand effect are rapidly expanding, and he has become a clothing tycoon whose business ability should not be underestimated.
Whether you like it or not, when Pierre Caton successfully entered the Republic market.
His French counterparts, and even the rest of the Western world, were destined to be surpassed by him in their careers.
The more practical effect is that Pierre Caton's costume became popular in the capital at once.
In this part of the Temple of Heaven, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit the Pierre Caton showroom every day, and it is necessary to take measures to limit the flow on weekends.
Sales in the Friendship Store were also unexpectedly optimistic.
Suits worth four or five hundred yuan, and women's clothing worth three or four hundred yuan, can actually sell more than a dozen sets every day, and almost all of them are bought by domestic customers.
In fact, this is also normal, our republic is poor.
But after all, this is the capital, and there are always so many people who can support high consumption and afford luxury goods.
Even the department stores in Wangfujing, the Xidan shopping mall, and even many stores in Dashilar often have people asking about PC brand clothing.
Although these people can only return disappointed, they also push Pierre Caton more and more to the altar and become a symbol of high-end clothing.
And these are only superficial phenomena, the deeper impact is actually that Pierre Caton's fashion has begun to lead the aesthetic changes of our people.
Although it is not as obvious as the sudden change overnight, it is not as exaggerated.
But the streets of the capital soon appeared in many bright colors, and women began to wear lipstick.
Big photo studios like Wangfujing and Dashilar have also successively hung up signs saying "suits are rented here".
Wearing a suit to take wedding photos began to gradually replace the old tunic and wedding dress, setting off a new fashion.
And it was out of control and became a stereotype photo that lasted for many years.
Perhaps history has been promoted and developed so unconsciously......
As for the last, of course, I have to mention Ning Weimin, the behind-the-scenes operator and the biggest hero.
Out of consideration for the model's family relationship, he also did a very necessary act of kindness.
That is, in the name of the company, I greeted the media who interviewed me, and the photos published could only be full-body photos.
And the 1,000 yuan foreign exchange coupon awarded to him by the company, he did not take it alone.
Instead, the brothers and sisters of the model team were invited to have a roast duck meal at "Judequan".
It is very interesting to have a big celebration banquet for the models, and when they raise a glass during the banquet.
Ning Weimin suddenly discovered a new situation.
During the time he left the team, it was only a month.
The team unknowingly formed three pairs of lovers.
These six men and women all dumped their past objects.
But that's not all, because even the other teammates weren't idle.
Especially for those female models, it seems that many people have changed the flower messengers.
From their conversations, it can be heard that their new boyfriends are many doctors, commissioners, pilots, etc......
Perhaps this is a side effect and additional cost of the industry?
Whether intentionally or willingly.
Now that they have embarked on this glamorous road, their requirements for life and feelings will no longer be willing to be dull.
It is destined to become more and more utilitarian.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Qu Xiao, who was drinking soda and laughing with his teammates.
and Shi Kaili, who was sending a roll of roast duck to her mouth.
He really didn't know when these two girls, who were still very pure at the moment, would become like this.
Two years, three years, or four years, five years?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret it a little.
I regret that I recklessly ruined the purity of the world.
It seems that Qu Xiao should not have been brought into this circle in the first place!
Am I wrong?
