Chapter 161: The Finale
"It's of course best not to change the planning company, but just to change their planning book. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yin Xi nodded and said, "What are you going to do with our press conference?"
"Now there is only one general direction. Xiao Yao said, "I plan to add a story to the catwalk performance of the press conference." The still film I recently completed is a series of more than 30 photos that tell a complete story, and when taken apart, each photo has its own plot. We had a dozen models and a dozen outfits, enough for me to design one or more storylines. But I don't have a clue what kind of storyline to design now, so I'll see if I can get some inspiration when I see the models trying them on tomorrow. ”
"Okay, then you can think about it tomorrow when the model tries it on. Yin Xi said.
Hearing Xiao Yao say that he wanted to increase the story, Yin Xi's confidence in Xiao Yao was a little more sufficient. Since he began to prepare the studio in Shencheng last year, Yin Xi has been in Huaxia for a much longer time than in previous years, and his understanding of Xiao Yao has become more detailed. He knew that Xiao Yao had not only been a director, but also a screenwriter. He has written the plot of the MV, co-wrote the script of the TV series, and the script of the short film was also written by himself, so the ability to write the story and design the plot is definitely no problem.
"By the way, what's the current situation of your short film?" Thinking of Xiao Yao's short film, Yin Xi asked with concern, "I heard that you sent a short film festival to France to participate, do you have any results?"
"Yes," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I received a notice from the cultural agency a few days ago that my short film has been successfully shortlisted for the international competition unit of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. ”
"Congratulations!" Yin Xi said happily, "Then do you still have to go to France?"
"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "Whether you can win the award or not, you have to go after all." But that's the middle of March, and my priority for now is to get our show right. I still have an office in your design studio, right? Someone will clean it up for me early tomorrow morning, I'm going to be in your studio for the next few days. ”
"No problem," Yin Xi said, "Your office has been cleaned regularly, and you can go in at any time." ”
"That's good. Xiao Yao put down the chopsticks and food box, wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "I'm full." It's not too early, so why don't you go back and rest early?"
"Okay, then I won't bother you. Yin Xi saw that the two food boxes in front of Xiao Yao were empty, so he stood up and said as he cleaned up.
"By the way, how did you just get in?" Xiao Yao asked again, "Although the rule of our school is that girls can enter the boys' dormitory, but you obviously don't look like a student of our school, why would the dormitory teacher just let you in? You can't sneak in while the dormitory teacher is not there, do you want me to send you out?"
"Cut~ Do I still need to sneak in? I said it was your sister, who came to bring you food, and was put in by the dormitory manager at the door. Yin Xi smiled, "But you can send me out." As soon as you finish eating, take a walk after the meal and take a break by the way. ”
"Let's go, then. Xiao Yao put on his coat, took the paper bag containing empty food boxes and chopsticks and other garbage in Yin Xi's hand, opened the door and made a gesture of please.
Sending Yin Xi to the car parked at the door of the dormitory, Xiao Yao went to the playground for a turn, moved his body before returning to the dormitory, and then began to think about the press conference in front of the computer.
The next morning, Xiao Yao asked Pei Minyi to drive and arrived at Yin Xi's studio on time.
There is no dressing room in the design room, so Yin Xi arranged the fitting activity on the first floor of the studio to prepare for the press conference.
When Xiao Yao arrived, there were already many people at the press conference. In addition to the designers and Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli, who came to see the excitement again, Xiao Yao finally met Rick McCollin, who was busy with the work at hand.
After meeting, the two naturally hugged warmly. Xiao Yao happily patted Rick's shoulder and said, "Are you still satisfied with the job I introduced to you?"
"Very satisfied!" Rick also smiled and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder and said, "The income is good, the working environment is good, and the colleagues are also very good, much better than me being a prop master in the United States." ”
"You still missed one," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "There are still beautiful women to see." In a moment, you will be able to see sixteen excellent Chinese models show the results of your work. ”
"You're wrong, seventeen!" corrected Rick.
"Yes, seventeen. Xiao Yao nodded and corrected, "Although the last one is your boss, you have seen it many times." ”
"I can't get enough of such a boss no matter how many times I see it. Rick laughed.
Rick was recruited as a technical expert in the production and installation of LED lighting systems, and although it was a hands-on job, the pay was better than that of the designers who were responsible for using their brains.
In addition to being able to do this job that he is more interested in and good at, Yin Xi also provided him with funds and space to research and improve the LED lighting system. In addition, he can discuss fashion design with the designer, and can also put forward his own ideas and opinions on fashion design alone. If the designer can't get the work or the work is not good enough, he will be criticized by Yin Xi, but he has no pressure to do this without any design task. Such a boss who provides an excellent environment without putting pressure on work, or an extremely eye-catching Eva Angel supermodel, Rick naturally likes it very much, and feels that he can't see enough.
Xiao Yao chatted with Rick for a while, and Xingdonglin's models also arrived one after another. After the models saw Xiao Yao, they all came up to greet him with a smile, and then went to the dressing room backstage of the press conference under the leadership of the staff.
Rick was already learning Chinese when he was in the United States, and his Chinese level improved by leaps and bounds after coming to Shencheng. From the way those models greeted Xiao Yao and the simple conversation, Rick immediately discovered a fact that surprised him very much.
"Why do these models call you boss?" Rick looked at Xiao Yao in surprise and said, "I know that you have half of the shares of this brand and this design studio, but Mr. Yin's studio currently has no signed models, don't tell me you still have a modeling company!"
"Strictly speaking, I don't own a modeling agency," Xiao Yao laughs, "but they are not right, I am a shareholder of their modeling agency." This share was not originally mine, I inherited it from my own mother, who had passed away. ”
"Oh my God!" Rick shouted, "How could a guy like you get mixed up with us hip-hop dancers back then?" Although he knew that Xiao Yao's father was a musician, in Rick's eyes, there was still a big difference between a simple star artist and the owner and shareholder of a company.
"If I didn't mix with you, how could I come up with the idea of an LED light suit, and how could you be standing here now?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"We've got everyone here, let's start now. Yin Xi walked out of the backstage passage, stood on the catwalk and made an announcement, and sat in the audience next to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao took out the camera from the camera bag he brought, stood up and walked to the edge of the catwalk.
"The cameras are ready," Yin Xi smiled behind Xiao Yao, "Should I inform you that Master is not using it?"
Yin Xi and Xiao Yao's co-brand launched, the press conference of this catwalk is the focus, but not all, the early publicity and the later follow-up need a lot of high-quality hard photos to support. When it comes to taking pictures, Yin Xi's first thought is, of course, Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao's first thought is his photography teacher Chen Xuan, who is wandering all over the world. The apprentice's brand release, can you be a master, do you mean it? So as soon as Yin Xi and Xiao Yao put it together, they decided to bring Chen Xuan over as a photographer for promotional photos and the press conference.
Xiao Yao is a student of Chen Xuan, Yin Xi and Chen Xuan have also cooperated a lot, these two cooperated to launch a fashion brand, and invited him to be a photographer together, Chen Xuan really has no reason to refuse. However, Chen Xuan only took pictures, and did not interfere in other things. After the model tried on today and finally determined whether the details of the costume needed to be modified, Chen Xuan would go to Shencheng tomorrow to start shooting.
"I'm just recording the overall effect of the costumes, in order to plan the plot of the press conference," Xiao Yao said without replying, "No matter how good the memory is, it is not as good as the actual photos in the eyes." When it comes to taking pictures, my level is still not as good as my teacher Chen. ”
Of course, Yin Xi also knew this, and he was just joking just now. Seeing the first model walking out in costume, Yin Xi stopped talking and looked at it seriously.
Long before the production of these fashions began, Xiao Yao had already sent the body data of the corresponding model to Yin Xi. These clothes are also made according to the body data of their respective models, and on the whole they are definitely basically suitable, and there will be no big problems such as too big or too small. But no one can guarantee whether the model will look exactly the same as they imagined it when they put it on. Especially the press conference is a dynamic catwalk, not a static shooting, and it is difficult to say whether there will be any eye-catching flaws in the process of walking, so Yin Xi will arrange this fitting activity, find any small problems in the details, and have time to modify them in time.
This is not an official press conference, and there is no music on site. Although the lighting costume will work better in a darker environment, this is a fitting event to see the details of the costume, and there is only a single, bright white light on the scene.
When the models came out, they walked much slower than usual, so that Yin Xi, Xiao Yao and the designers could have enough time to look at the details and find problems. After coming to the front of the catwalk, they took much longer than usual to freeze and turn around, and they would also pose in certain poses and movements at the request of the people watching from the audience.
After looking at the whole thing, the overall effect is still very good. Sixteen sets of costumes, Yin Xi, Xiao Yao and the designers only picked out three or four small problems in details, the clothes do not need to be redone, and it is not difficult to modify, it can be done in almost a day, and it will not affect Chen Xuan's photo tomorrow.
Yin Xi carefully wrote down a few small problems that everyone found, then put the notebook aside, got up and went to the backstage. After reading the first sixteen sets of clothes, it should be time for her last set of clothes to be displayed.
About ten minutes later, Yin Xi, who had changed his clothes, slowly walked out of the backstage passage and made a stunning appearance. Xiao Yao also carefully observed the only set of clothes that he had never seen the design draft beforehand.
This is a white floor-length dress, a dress-style dress that covers the whole body from the neck down, is not sexy, but it looks particularly elegant. The white gauze fabric is covered with white lace patterns, and on the outside of the lace patterns, countless crystal particles are embellished. In the middle of these crystal grains, there are many LED lights that are similar in size to the crystals. The light emitted by these LED lights shines on the cut crystal particles next to it, and then reflects and refracts it through the transparent crystals, making those crystals also extremely shiny and dazzling. Countless bright points of light bloomed on the whole skirt, as if all the stars in the night sky were worn on the body.
Although there is no gorgeous lighting and music to match, just this appearance is enough to make a group of female models who have tried on and also ran to the audience to admire the clothes worn by Yin Xi drooling with envy.
As Yin Xi's every step falls, the color of the LED lights in the skirt is still changing, and the color of the light points displayed by the crystal particles next to it is also changing accordingly, making this skirt that seems to put the stars in the night sky on her body looks more and more dreamy.
Although the female models on the scene were envious to death, no one had the delusion of showing this skirt instead of Yin Xi. Not to mention that this is a brand co-founded by Yin Xi and Xiao Yao, Yin Xi and Xiao Yao have the same or even greater decision-making power, just Yin Xi's identity as an international supermodel and Eva Angel is there, and no female model dares to compete with Yin Xi for this dress.
"How is it?" Yin Xi, who slowly walked to the front of the catwalk, bent down slightly elegantly, and smiled at Xiao Yao, who was also stunned and forgot to take pictures while holding the camera, "This skirt that has not been reviewed by you is qualified to be at the press conference, right?
"Qualified, qualified!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "This is definitely the finale of this press conference." ”
