The people in the Paris office knew that Pierre Cardin was influential in France and a multimillionaire, and they were very puzzled, how could someone like him come to pick up Xu Wangqiu in person, it was really strange. They didn't dare to ask their boss Hu Jian, so they asked the rest of the delegation: "Comrade Xu Wangqiu, how can he be so familiar with Mr. Pierre-Cardin, does he have relatives in France?"

None of the others knew what was going on between Xu Wangqiu and Pierre Cardin, and they couldn't answer. Only Zhang Yimou knew what was going on, and he told him how he met Pierre Cardin outside the Forbidden City and then took Pierre Cardin to visit Beiping.

After speaking, Zhang Yimou glanced at Zhou Yi and showed a sincere smile: "Wangqiu just said that someone in France helped us with clothes, or Pierre Cardin provided it." A month ago, Song Huaigui, the head of Pierre Cardin's office in China, measured the dimensions of Wangqiu, me and Zhou Lijin, and had people take them back to France and ask Mr. Pierre Cardin to help me make clothes. ”

When the people from the export company heard this, they all looked at Zhou Yi and the people from China Film Company, with a gloating smile on their faces.

Zhou Lijin looked at Zhou Yi and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, don't you want to see it? ”

The people from the export company laughed when they heard this, and the smell of schadenfreude became even stronger.

Zhou Yi's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down, this time it was really embarrassing. Not only do people really provide clothes, but they are also designed by famous French designers.

It didn't take long for the car to stop at a hotel called Mercure. This is a 3-star hotel not far from the Eiffel Tower, and there is a shopping street nearby, which is easy to visit and shop. Liu Jianfeng knew that when a delegation like Xu Wangqiu and others came to Paris, they would definitely visit the Eiffel Tower and buy some things to go back, so it was undoubtedly very suitable to arrange them here.

The hotel rooms have been booked for a long time, and the check-in process has been very smooth. However, after Pierre Cardin followed Xu Wangqiu into the room, he felt that it was too simple, so he said: "This room is really terrible, or you come to live with me, I have a spare house." ”

"Just stay one night, and I won't bother you; Xu Wangqiu explained with a smile, but did not say what the specific regulations were. In fact, this rule is that the delegation must live together and cannot act alone, mainly for fear of defection. Now that the country is poor, many people have followed the delegation to foreign countries, and they cannot withstand the temptation of glittering the lights, so they will never return. Therefore, there is strict discipline for delegations to visit abroad.

Naturally, Pierre Cardin didn't know, but after hearing that there were rules, he didn't say anything more.

After a short rest, Xu Wangqiu found Hu Jian and told him that he and Zhou Lijin went to the headquarters of Pierre Cardin to try on clothes, and asked the delegation if they wanted to follow to have a look. Hu Jian felt that it was better for the team to act collectively, so he called the rest of the delegation out and asked everyone to change into formal clothes and visit the headquarters of Pierre Cardin.

Zhou Yi knew that if he went with him, he would definitely be slapped in the face, so he asked Hu Jian for leave, saying that he was a little uncomfortable with the soil and water, and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he would not go to try on clothes. Hu Jian knew what was going on, and he didn't force it, so he asked the people of China Film Company and Lao Jiang from the Paris office to stay, and asked Lao Jiang to take them to Maxim's restaurant to meet in the evening.

Pierre Cardin's headquarters is a little different from what Xu Wangqiu imagined, and it looks very ordinary on the outside, no different from the surrounding buildings. If Pierre Cardin hadn't brought them here, he would have thought it was just an ordinary building and wouldn't have looked at it at all. However, after walking in, there is a cave, the interior of the company is exquisite and elegant, with great attention to detail and humanization, full of artistic atmosphere.

On the first floor, there are a lot of clothes designed by Pierre Cardin, which are obviously his favorite works. On the second floor, you will see a photograph of Pierre Cardin, as well as a manuscript of his design, as well as two golden thimbles. In the office area, there are many people who are busy with their heads down.

Pierre Cardin took Xu Wangqiu into a very spacious office and asked the secretary to bring coffee. He pointed to the suits on the three models in the room, told Xu Wangqiu that this was their costume, and then asked Xu Wangqiu and them to go to the fitting room to change into the suit and see the effect.

Like the well-known brands of later generations, Pierre Cardin only provided clothes to the three of them: Xu Wangqiu, Zhou Lijin and Zhang Yimou. Because they are the main creators of the movie and the focus of the media, the clothes will only pay attention to them when they are worn by the media and the people who eat melons.

Xu Wangqiu changed into a suit and a bow tie, and looked in front of the mirror, the man in the mirror was wearing a black suit, this suit is light and thin, it looks more close-fitting, and the waistline is high, the clothes are not particularly long, the legs are particularly long, and it gives people a feeling of vitality. He touched his face, shook his head and said, "As a director, it may be better to wear an English suit, and it will look more stable." But Lao Pi is Italian, and he won't be able to make an English suit if he is killed. ”

Suits are roughly divided into two types: British and Italian, the British style is calm and heavy, while the Italian climate is relatively hot, and the suit takes the light and thin route. However, there are several types of Italian suits, each with different characteristics. Xu Wangqiu only knows a little fur and knows that he is wearing an Italian suit, but as for which Italian suit it is, it is not clear.

Xu Wangqiu dangled in front of the mirror and looked around twice, and walked out of the fitting room with satisfaction. Zhang Yimou and Zhou Lijin also happened to come out, and the two of them changed into suits, but the bow tie was not played. They hadn't hit this thing, so they didn't know how. Xu Wangqiu went over to help them get it, and then stood in front of Hu Jian and asked them to evaluate.

Everyone present smiled and nodded slightly, Pierre Cardin is worthy of being a famous French designer, and the three suits he made are obviously better than those made by domestic tailors. After Xu Wangqiu and the three of them put on the suit, they really gave people a feeling of brightness. The woman named Meng Yao in the Paris office stared at Zhou Lijin in a daze, and a faint flush rose on her cheeks.

Hu Jian praised: "It's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, the three of you feel completely different when you wear this suit, the three of you are handsome guys, and now when you wear this dress, it is even more prominent." If the three of you walk on the streets of Beiping like this, you will definitely be staring at you all over the street. ”

Xu Wangqiu laughed and said: "It's okay to walk with Lao Mou, but it's okay to walk with Zhou Lijin, I don't want to be a green leaf to set off him." People all over the street looked at him, but they ignored me, which was too shameless. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Zhou Lijin's image is really good, the average handsome guy can only be a foil by his side, and only a handsome guy like Tang Guoqiang will not be compared to him.

Even Pierre Cardin's eyes lit up, staring at Zhou Lijin and saying, "Are you interested in modeling? If you do modeling, you can really become a first-class model." ”

Zhou Lijin smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not interested in modeling, I just want to be an actor." ”

At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Wangqiu and his entourage were led by Pierre Cardin to the royal road of Harmony Square and walked into the Maxim Restaurant.

Before coming, Hu Jian and the others listened to Liu Jianfeng's popular science, and for a long time, Maxim's restaurant was a meeting place for celebrities from all over the world in Paris, and even a place for the king to linger. Former U.S. President Johnson, Queen of Great Britain and Denmark, Pablo Picasso, and King Edward VII of the United Kingdom were all frequent guests. Originally, the Maxim Restaurant was only open to a small number of members, and ordinary people could not set foot in it, until last year, when Pierre Cardin took over the restaurant, it was opened to ordinary people, so that ordinary people could get a glimpse of what was going on.

After walking into the restaurant, Hu Jian and the others were shocked. The whole restaurant is beautifully furnished. The flower-shaped bronze lamps, the ceiling glass paintings in full bloom like a green corridor, the flower-shaped mirrors in the hall, the nursery blooming on the screen, and the painted flowers and luodian flowers climbing between the walls and the roof in the wooden frame structure make the whole restaurant full of classical atmosphere.

The restaurant manager knew that Pierre Cardin was going to have an important guest to entertain tonight and waited a lot of time in the restaurant. He hurried up to greet them, greeted Xu Wangqiu and them diligently, and led them to the restaurant.

Xu Wangqiu looked at the restaurant, and the scene in front of him couldn't help but remind him of Woody Allen's movie "Midnight in Paris", and he knew that some of the scenes in the movie were filmed here. At the end of the film, the hero and heroine travel to 19th-century Paris, where they meet Gauguin and Degas in the Maxim's restaurant. Through the dialogue with the masters, the actor finally understands that in fact, the golden age in everyone's heart is different, and the more important thing should be now.

When Xu Wangqiu and the others came to their seats, Lao Jiang was sitting in his seat and dancing to Zhou Yi about the glorious history of their popular science Maxim restaurant. Although Maxim's restaurant is now open to ordinary people, it is still the top restaurant in Paris, and the price is quite expensive, and Lao Jiang must not be able to afford it, and he can come here for a meal, he can simply blow it for a year.

After sitting down, Zhou Lijin glanced at Zhou Yi and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, is your stomach better? It's a pity that your stomach is uncomfortable, if you have a comfortable stomach, you can go with us to the headquarters of Mr. Pierre Cardin's company, there are a lot of beautiful clothes there, you can really see it!"

Zhou Yi's face turned red, and he glared at Zhou Lijin fiercely, horses, you remember it for me!

Xu Wangqiu saw that Zhou Yi's face was flushed, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "Director Zhou, why is your face so red? It can't be a fever, right?" He beckoned to the waiter: "Bring Mr. Zhou Yi a glass of ice water, he has a fever and needs a glass of ice water." ”

Hearing only a click, Zhou Yi bit one of his teeth. He was about to get up from the case, but considering that he only had more than a hundred dollars on him, and he had to go to see his son and buy things for his wife, he could save a little bit, and swallowed that breath.

Hu Jian knew that Xu Wangqiu was not to blame for this, after all, it was Zhou Yi who squeezed Xu Wangqiu first, but the export company did not have the right to distribute in China, and it was not beneficial for the film to be distributed if the people of China Film were offended, so he said to Xu Wangqiu: "Okay, Wangqiu, you don't have to say a word." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled and saluted Hu Jian: "Obey, comrade regiment commander!"

Pierre Cardin couldn't understand Chinese, didn't know what Xu Wangqiu was talking about, and as an old jianghu, he could feel that the relationship between the delegations was not particularly harmonious. However, it was not his turn to speak for this kind of thing, so he handed the menu to Hu Jian. When Hu Jian looked at the menu, he found that it was in French, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he handed the menu to Xu Wangqiu and asked Xu Wangqiu to order it.

Xu Wangqiu didn't know French either, but he still knew what to do with Western food, so he ordered a steak for everyone, and then asked other people about their preferences, and was ready to help them order others.

At this moment, the waiter came over with a glass of ice water and put it in front of Zhou Yi: "Sir, your ice water is here." ”

With a click, Zhou Yi's teeth were crushed again.
