This is Vanity Fair, and Melvin is not the first to make a profit under the banner of Blue Rite, nor will he be the last.

In fact, from another point of view, Disney, which is trying to use the "undefeated halo" of the blue gift to open up the situation, is not the case? This is the momentum of the blue gift in the whole Hollywood now, it seems that only a little halo fragment can easily let others enjoy endless convenience, compared to the negative rumors on social networks, the status and influence of the blue gift is unshakable.

For the uninitiated, the wave of "opposition to Lan Li" on social networks has been rising one after another, creating the illusion that the whole world is on the opposite side of Lan Li, and the vast momentum seems to be plunging Lan Li into the biggest crisis of his career. It's not just the prospect of the Oscars season, it seems that even the blue gift is losing people's support and love in terms of market appeal.

For insiders, Lan Li's strength is still steadily rising, whether it is the box office trend curve of "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Gravity", or the vultures led by Melvin circling for a long time, all of this directly or indirectly proves Lan Li's unparalleled influence in the industry, as for those rumors, they have no power at all, and they are not worth mentioning.

The psychological gap created by this difference just proves one point: the information asymmetry brought about by class differences, living environment, and ideology still objectively exists, even in the Internet age of the ocean of information. In the same way, the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Brexit showed diametrically opposite results to the polls, which caught the elite by surprise.

Mainstream rhetoric may not be what it seems. In the ocean of information in the Internet age, people can control more and more information resources, and claim to have a deeper and broader understanding of the world, but it is becoming more and more difficult to filter and judge a large amount of information. Many times, if not most, appearances are deceptive.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Melvin uses the aura of Lan Li to break the shackles of his career and make a breakthrough in his career, but it all ends today: Andy sets the record straight, while Lydia handles the aftermath

Lydia didn't use thunderbolts to cut off all of Melvin's retreats, because there was no need to kill them all, she just revealed the truth of the matter, and the rest of the matter fell into place, and the "story that had to be told" between Melvin and Lan Li presented a completely different template, which was eye-opening.

"Laughing at Lan Li's taste in suits"?

This should be one of the most ridiculous and hilarious fashion anecdotes of the new century, the problem is not that Melvin's attitude is not surprising at all, but that Melvin's profession If he can't even agree with Lan Li's suit taste, then as a stylist's profession, can he still stand?

Although Lan Li did not say anything on any occasion to "ban Melvin", the boiling rumors were enough to put Melvin in prison.

Melvin still refuses to disarm and surrender, trying to work hard in the fashion industry, even if it is Lan Li, he can't cover the sky with one hand, can he? But he forgets that many times, the fashion industry is a more cruel and bloody circle than the film industry.

Drop the awards season collaboration.

Lose the actor for a long time.

Throw away magazine interviews.

Lose exposure.

Throw away the party invite.

Most importantly, lose brand sponsorships.

When a stylist loses a brand sponsorship, it also means that his development path has come to an end.

Things were moving far faster and more ferocious than expected, and Melvin's career began to fall apart almost visibly, and the total collapse was faster than he could have imagined, but he was helpless. It seems a bit fantastical to say, Lan Li doesn't need to do it himself at all, just to let out the wind, and the fashion circle can't wait to replace Lan Li to raise the sword and cut off all Melvin's retreats.

Of course, the name "Melvin Bradles" is still convincing and attractive enough for third- and fourth-tier actors, and he will not be unable to find a job, but the stark and violent gap from the focus of his gaze to the aura of no one cares about him is an even more terrible torture that makes him ugly and embarrassed.

But, does anyone care?

The so-called nobody means that even if he is thrown into the water, he can't smash a single wave, and before he even has time to ripple, he has already regained calm again.

……

"And which brand of suit did you choose in the end?"

Lan Li cast his gaze towards Mei Duo, Mei Duo's eyes flashed with curiosity, and his eyes were a little hot and hot with a little gossip, which made Lan Li can't help but chuckle, "Mei Duo, are you curious, or are your friends curious?"

"Hey, Lan Li! you don't have to answer, but you can't doubt my character!" Meadow immediately straightened up and expressed her strong protest.

Lan Li didn't speak, just stared at Mei Duo quietly, and his eyes revealed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made Mei Duo lose little by little, and finally couldn't resist after all, raised his hands to show surrender, and broke the news with self-abandonment, "Okay, okay!

"Meadow!" exclaimed Paul, who was sitting next to him, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Mei Duo looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed, "I know, I know." I shouldn't be like this, Lan Li has enough headaches for these gossips, I shouldn't make a mess, but, Dad, you know the little girl's ......"

"No, he doesn't. The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, interrupting Mei Duo's words, and then you can see that Mei Duo and Paul were both stunned, Mei Duo opened her mouth slightly, but found that she couldn't refute, Paul simply raised his hands to show surrender, Lan Li then said, "This is not a big deal, let alone a secret, I finally chose a suit designed by George Wilkes." ”

"Who?" said Mei Duo, who was full of question marks, and couldn't remember that the top brands had such a number one.

Lan Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who he is, what matters is that his design suits me best." ”

George Wilkes, the evening dress for Lan Li's first appearance at the Golden Globes, was designed by him. At that time, he was just a fledgling nobody, and Lan Li was an up-and-coming strong newcomer; in the following years, Lan Li's career showed a triple jump flying curve, but George did not use Lan Li's fame to open up the situation, and still conscientiously devoted himself to managing his personal brand, not to mention the great success of his career, but it can be said to have a firm foothold.

Wilkes' outstanding ability mainly lies in the unique combination of colors and fabrics, often on the basis of simple and generous line cutting, through the different textures of colors and materials to collide with more novel styles.

Faced with Lan Li's simple words, Mei Duo rolled her eyes mercilessly and spread her hands, "I can't refute it." Then he turned to Paul, "Dad, you need to show that confidence too, you know?"

"You know I can't help it. Paul waved his hand again and again to show his "innocence", and then looked at Lan Li with a smile, "This confidence, except for Lan Li, I can't think of anyone else who can not be annoying." After a slight pause, "The designer should be okay alright, right?

Who?

Lan Li frowned slightly, and there was a confused look in his eyes.

"It's the designer named Melvin. Is there any rumors behind his back?" Paul said as a matter of course, "I just heard that Chris Hemsworth was planning to dissolve the partnership, but Melvin finally met with Chris in person and successfully persuaded him to continue the partnership. In situations like theirs, they always like to make up things behind their backs, and the dirty water of those nonsense is always unavoidable. ”

This is true in any industry: building a good reputation for a brand is hard to achieve, and a single accident and a rumor can undo countless efforts, especially in Vanity Fair, where there is no cost to those slanders and slanders. That's why it's hard to get a little ghost.

Lan Li suddenly realized at this time that he was serious, he didn't remember Melvin at all, after the episode of the try-on that day, he left it directly behind, although it was really a bit arrogant to say so, but the fact is that Melvin is not worth Lan Li's time and energy to remember, even if it is redundant to remember grudges and remembers.

Sensing Paul's concern, Lan Li looked at Mei Duo and said with a smile, "Didn't I say that you shouldn't let your dad know about all this boring gossip? He has been bored in the hospital for too long, and if he accidentally becomes those makeup artists and assistants, all his thoughts are gathered on these trivial gossip." ”

"It's not me, it's the nurses, okay?" Meadow protested with her hands raised.

Paul was also distracted and laughed directly, "I can't help it, the patients and nurses here are all gossiping, everyone stays here, idle and moldy, those gossips are the only spice to support life, I feel that in the past month, I have recognized a completely different Hollywood." ”

"It's not a good sign. Lan Li shook his head again and again with a sad expression on his face.

Paul tried to protest, and then realized that he must not be able to say Lan Li, and then his mind reacted, and he immediately realized that his focus had been distracted, "Hey, hey, Hey, Hall, don't change the subject, we were just discussing another thing, you did it on purpose, right?"

"It's just you discussing, neither Meadow nor Meadow is involved. Lan Li looked like he was the shopkeeper and wiped it out.
