777 Mystery Gifts
"Lan Li?" Nathan stood in the bedroom of the hotel room, looking at the dazzling array of clothes in the closet, only to feel dazzled, and shouted, but did not hear Lan Li's response, and couldn't help shouting again, "Lan Li?" quieted down, listened carefully, there was no sound at all, he couldn't help but walk out quickly, entered the hall, and then saw-
Lan Li, who was wearing a bathrobe, lay on the sofa and fell asleep again, his wet hair was still dripping, and he didn't even have time to blow his hair after taking a bath, and his slightly reddened cheeks still had the crimson of bathing and the laziness after getting up in the morning.
Standing still, Nathan smiled dumbly.
Every morning, leaving the bed is a challenge, especially in the cold winter, and for the past three months, the filming schedule of "Edge of Tomorrow" has been in normal commuting mode, and filming is like a normal office worker. The daily filming work is so hard, it can be called a contest of physical strength and experience, and in addition to filming, Lan Li also needs to train in basic martial arts, and then memorize the script and shooting schedule for the next day, and there is no rest time at all.
Lazy actors have lazy ways of filming, and hard-working actors have diligent ways of shooting.
Finally, "Edge of Tomorrow" was finally completed, but then it came to the Berlin Film Festival, and the busy publicity schedule even required to get up earlier, and the schedule was so dense that there was no such thing as going to work and leaving work, after getting up at six o'clock, before the interview ended, even if it was all night, the work had to be carried on.
Nathan knew how much of a temptation sleep was for Lan Li.
I know it, but Nathan still has to interrupt Lan Li's sweet dream, there is still a whole day of schedule waiting for him today. "Lan Li!" Nathan's thunderous voice exploded, and then he saw Lan Li bury his head heavily in the sofa pillow, looking like he didn't want to get up, Nathan really couldn't help laughing.
"Say it. Lan Li's voice came out of the pillow in a muffled voice. Obviously, Lan Li also heard Nathan's shout just now, but he just pretended not to hear it.
"Uh, I just want to ask, which outfit to choose today?" Nathan pointed to the bedroom behind him, and then realized that Lan Li was still buried in the pillow and couldn't be seen at all, "Before leaving, all the labels made by Eton were messed up and couldn't be identified at all. Next time, it's best to keep the tag in your pocket so it doesn't fall out. Can you breathe?"
Lan Li did not respond. One second, two seconds, three seconds. He sat up straight again, his shoulders straightened slightly, his languid posture dissipating little by little, and he regained his usual etiquette, but his eyes were still closed, "Eton has prepared a total of four sets...... No, five suits, to be worn at the premiere and at the press conference after that, if I'm not mistaken, did Roy say there's a dinner party? ”
After several collaborations, Lanli has now officially hired Eaton Dormer as his personal stylist.
The job of a so-called stylist is actually not simple.
Every week or two weeks, they need to travel to Paris, Milan, New York, London, Tokyo and other fashion capitals, constantly selecting, browsing, and expanding their clothing collections; secondly, major brands launch new season's promotional catalogs, or private designer brands appear new catalogs, before the official launch, they need to conduct the first round of screening, pre-book their favorite designs; thirdly, every fashion week, every issue of fashion magazines, and even the top editors in the fashion industry, Designers have to attend private parties, they are also required to attend, constantly updating their fashion warehouse.
Through these tasks, stylists are required to regularly update the wardrobes of their collaborators, at most bi-weekly and as little as once a month, including formal and private clothing, including clothing and shoes, as well as accessories such as glasses, hats, brooches, cuffs, etc......
If it's a female artist, then there's jewelry worth recommending—not by the stylist, but by the stylist recommending the brand and style, and then seeing if the artist is qualified enough to get the jeweler to sponsor it, and if it's not qualified, it's the next best thing, and if it's a male artist, it's a watch — the price of a top-of-the-line watch is not much better than jewelry.
Born in the upper class of London, Eaton's greatest strength lies not in its connections, but in its vision. For the temperament and taste of the blue ceremony, Eaton is very well grasped, and can often recommend the most suitable design.
Of course, Lan Li himself has received a similar education since he was a child, and even if he doesn't know how to design, he has a head on matching - a true aristocrat should clearly know what clothes are decent, what is appropriate, and what colors are taboo. These qualities and heritages cannot be seen or touched, and they cannot be learned even if they have money, but they form part of the temperament.
This is just the daily job of a stylist. For special occasions like the Berlin Film Festival, they also need to update their formal attire at any time, and if it is an Oscars, female artists may start preparing three months in advance, and the showdown between stylists is a battlefield without gunpowder.
For this trip to Berlin, Eaton prepared five formal suits and ten private clothes. You know, Lan Li is only here for four days. However, Lan Li's luggage has been very restrained - when female artists attend the Cannes Film Festival, they are only clothes, and eight to twelve suitcases are just normal levels, and Mariah Carey's personal luggage can reach twenty-one suitcases. And it's all big boxes, not small boxes.
"It's good to wear private clothes today. Lan Li pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about what Eton had prepared, "A smoky gray shirt, black jeans, and then a navy blue trench coat, that set will do." ”
Nathan recalls for a moment, then confirms, "Are you sure......?
Lan Li didn't answer, just closed his eyes and gently retracted his jaw, the sleepy worm didn't seem to have completely left, Nathan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked to the closet, and began to sort out Lan Li's clothes for today.
As one of the three major film festivals in Europe, the Berlinale has a very important position in the world, and the specifications and pomp are naturally not simple.
Before the official release of a film in competition, the official press conference will be held, and the crew will also hold an informal press interview, and then open some simple and relaxed interviews, followed by a formal premiere, press conference, audience meeting, interview after the premiere, and then intensive media interview time.
In just three or four days, there may be more than 200 interviews for popular films, and at least 60 or 70 interviews for unpopular films. This is still a "cold" film festival like Berlin, and the lively Cannes is definitely only a lot more. This is also the reason why every work is eager to squeeze into the three major film festivals, the publicity effect is remarkable, and it is an international stage!
Such specifications are incomparable even to Toronto, Sundance, and Telluride.
However, the European Film Festival has always put art first, respecting every art creator, but does not have too many requirements for etiquette and rules. Even the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, the three major film festivals have no hard rules, you must wear a suit and evening dress to attend, and many actors or directors may just be a simple shirt and walk directly on the red carpet.
As for press conferences, even more so.
At nine o'clock this morning, "Detachment" will hold its first press conference in Berlin. Lan Li did not choose a formal dress, but chose a relatively comfortable and light private dress, but the organizing committee arranged the press conference at such an early time slot, Lan Li also said that he was confused.
"Babble", the door of the hotel room was pushed open, and with the sound of footsteps, Roy's voice rang out, "Yes, it's okay to put it next to the living room table, thank you." Hey, you haven't changed your clothes yet, the hairstylist and makeup artist are five minutes away, are you sure you don't start getting ready?"
However, Roy also knew enough about Lan Li, although he asked a question, he didn't expect an answer, turned around, took out his wallet, paid the tip, thanked the waiter who pushed things in, and said again, "Thank you." Then he walked to the table and sat down, "Early in the morning, someone sent a gift for you, aren't you curious?"
"......" This is Lan Li's answer.
Roy chuckled and shook his head, "A traditional English breakfast, a bouquet of ...... calla lilies?" Roy's voice raised slightly, unsure why someone would choose calla lilies as a gift, "and then a tuxedo square. There's also a card attached, are you sure you don't want to look at it? Maybe it's given by an admirer?"
The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth tugged slightly, revealing a touch of helplessness and banter, "You can open the card and see, there is no content, the signature should be 'AGH'." ”
Roy's expression was a little strange, and he tilted his head curiously, and looked at it seriously. Because, this mysterious gift was obviously sent suddenly this morning, and the information known by the hotel is very limited, a distinguished guest ordered the relevant gift by phone, and made strict and detailed requirements, they just carried it out, and because Lan Li never opened his eyes, did not see the gift on the cart at all, but was able to make such an accurate judgment directly, which ...... What the hell is going on?
After getting the approval, Roy picked up the card on the bouquet and opened it to see that it was written in pen script, only two lines of words.
"Dearest.
AGH。 ”
Roy frowned slightly, looked at the card, and looked at Lan Li again, "Tell me honestly, is this a code?" or is it a secret?"
Lan Li chuckled, "If I say that this is a bad apology gift, do you believe it?" Then, Lan Li opened his eyes, ignored the confused Roy, and walked straight to the room. Roy couldn't help but raise his voice and call out, but Lan Li had no intention of explaining, "Didn't you say that the hairstylist and makeup artist still have five minutes to arrive?"
Lan Li's figure disappeared into the room, leaving Roy alone sitting in place, his eyes dazed.
