Chapter 1068: Unique Fashion Show
If many domestic superstars and celebrities come to cheer for the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", this is expected by many media reporters.
After all, in the past three years, with the brilliant and dazzling success of Oriental DreamWorks, it has also begun to establish its own connections in the entertainment industry.
Even if the number of elite guests from all walks of life who may come to the premiere is a little higher, at most it will surprise many media reporters.
But now, seeing Afra and Yang Ming talking familiarly, and it seems that there is a deep relationship between the two, it really shocked many reporters at the entrance of the National Auditorium.
After being reminded by some reporters who are familiar with Hollywood news, a thought popped up in the minds of all the reporters on the scene.
Could it be that Afra will join Oriental DreamWorks?
Thinking of this possibility, all the media reporters who saw Yang Ming shaking hands with Afra couldn't help but shudder, and then all of them were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
However, when many reporters wanted to ask, Afra had already walked into the auditorium.
Immediately, the reporters immediately pointed the microphone at Yang Ming.
"Mr. Yang, what is the relationship between you and Ms. Afra, and why did she come to attend the premiere of your movie today?"
"Ms. Afra's brokerage contract with the United States CAA is about to expire, is the next stop being Oriental DreamWorks?"
"Mr. Yang Ming, is Ms. Afra here to attend the premiere of your movie today......?"
Seeing the many crowded and excited reporters outside the red carpet circle, Yang Ming thought about it for a while, and responded to the speculation of these people in front of him, after all, the brokerage contract between Afra and CAA has not officially expired, so don't make any trouble at that time.
"Ahem!"
He coughed dryly, cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very good friends with Ms. Afra, we have a lot of exchanges in music, and she happened to be traveling in China this time, so when she heard the news, she stopped by to stop by, it was completely a cheer between friends, that's all." ”
"Please don't speculate, thank you for your support. ”
There are some things that can only be done, not said.
Although Barber may have negotiated a cooperation with Afra now, how could such a thing be revealed now?
After all, Afra still has a contract now, and there are still two months to expire, and it is not too late to announce the cooperation between the two parties at that time, so there is no need to have a hard time with CAA now.
There are some superficial guidelines that everyone still needs to follow.
In fact, no matter who is interviewed by reporters, who is telling the truth?
Many reporters heard Yang Ming's explanation, although they didn't fully believe it, but they could accept it, for them, it was indeed a bit incredible if Afra chose to join Oriental DreamWorks.
Besides, Oriental DreamWorks is a film company, not a professional agency or record company.
Maybe Afra came to China to attend the premiere of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" this time, and it was really because of his personal friend relationship with Yang Ming.
Although most accepted Yang Ming's explanation, some reporters were skeptical.
Because this time node is too sensitive and reverie, Afra's contract with CAA still has two months to expire, and according to reports from the media in the United States, Afra does not seem to have any intention of renewing his contract with CAA.
However, the superstars and celebrities who soon arrived one after another distracted the attention of the reporters.
Stars in the entertainment industry, ace hosts in the literary and artistic circles, military art troupes, some well-known writers in the literary circles, elites in Beijing from some large local group companies represented by Geely Automobile, and a group of celebrities in the education industry invited by the old dean.
The arrival of every guest made the reporters feel bright, and they felt infinitely emotional, and the influence of Oriental DreamWorks was getting bigger and bigger.
When the time reached seven o'clock, the invited guests basically arrived, and the people who didn't come couldn't pull away also called Yang Ming to apologize.
Yang Ming looked at his watch, and stomped his feet a little anxiously, Minister Guo and the big man hadn't come yet, under the urging of the staff, in desperation, he had to turn around and leave and walk into the auditorium, after all, the premiere was about to start.
Anyway, Minister Guo had also explained to him before, asking him to come according to his own plan and not have to wait for them.
According to the plan, when all the guests arrive, there will be a Three Kingdoms fashion show.
Several male and female models wear the costumes of the ancients in the Three Kingdoms era, from civilian plain clothes to court costumes, from ordinary clothes to battlefield robes, all the costumes that have appeared in the movie will be displayed on the stage one by one.
For the planning of this premiere, Yang Ming also solicited the opinions of several actors and queens in the movie, and for them, all the publicity and hype no longer have any meaning.
Therefore, Yang Ming is ready to turn the premiere into a fashion show of the Three Kingdoms, using a modern model to interpret ancient Chinese culture, which can be regarded as an attempt by Yang Ming.
As tall female models and sturdy male models appear in Three Kingdoms costumes, the host on the scene will also introduce the name and meaning of the clothes worn by each model, as well as who is suitable to wear and what kind of occasion they should wear.
For the planning of this Three Kingdoms fashion show, Yang Ming did not hire 100 models, and after each model appeared, he would not walk around and return to the backstage, and then change his clothes to come out, but after he appeared, he would continue to stay on stage.
Each model represents a Three Kingdoms costume style, and each model represents that the costume will appear in the movie.
Listening to the introduction of the host on the spot, all the guests on the scene were stunned by Yang Ming's generosity.
They weren't stunned by the fashion show at this time, but Oriental DreamWorks was shocked by the cost of costumes in tonight's premiere movie.
Seeing dozens of models wearing various costumes and armor on the stage, as well as a steady stream of models who are still on stage, it is likely that no less than 100 models will appear, if 100 kinds of costumes really appear in a movie, it will really set a record in the Chinese film industry.
At this time, the host looked at the card in his hand and said loudly: "According to statistics, in the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", the crew made a total of 113 costumes from the Three Kingdoms period, from ordinary people to generals and emperors, from linen skirts to court clothes, all of which are not included. ”
The Three Kingdoms belong to the Han Dynasty, and there are about nine categories of basic styles of Hanfu, and under the basic style, hundreds of styles are deduced because of their different changes in neckline, sleeve shape, waistset, and cutting methods. ”
In order to better tell all the guests about the culture of the costumes of the Three Kingdoms, the host pointed to one of the models wearing deep clothes and said: "This is the deep clothes of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the clothing that can best reflect the spirit of Chinese culture." Shenyi symbolizes the unity of heaven and man, magnificence, fairness and integrity, and the oriental virtues of embracing all things. ”
Speaking of this, the host walked up to the model and explained the meaning of each part of the dress: "The cuffs are wide, symbolizing the harmony of heaven, the neckline is intersecting at right angles, symbolizing the squareness of the tunnel, and a straight seam on the back runs through the top and bottom, symbolizing humanity and integrity." The waist is tied with a large belt to symbolize the trade-off, the top and the bottom are divided into two parts, symbolizing the two rituals, and the top is made of four pieces of cloth to symbolize the four seasons of the year. It is divided into two parts: the top and the bottom, symbolizing the two rituals, the top is made of four pieces of cloth, symbolizing the four seasons of the year, and the bottom is made of twelve pieces of cloth, symbolizing the twelfth month of the year. ”……
Just when the host was talking about the deep clothes culture of the Han Dynasty, two people appeared at the entrance of the auditorium, one of them was Minister Guo who Yang Ming had not waited for, and four or five people stood behind the two of them, vaguely protecting the two middle-aged people in front of them in the middle.
When he heard the host's explanation, he couldn't help but stop, stood at the door of the auditorium and listened for a while, his face showed an approving look, and he whispered to Minister Guo beside him: "To be honest, if I hadn't heard this host's explanation today, I really didn't know that we had so much attention to the costumes of the Han Dynasty in China. ”
When Minister Guo heard the words of the old man next to him, he immediately smiled and said without leaving a trace: "I didn't know before, but then I have been listening to Xiao Yang talk about foreign aristocratic traditions, in fact, they are all left over from our country, no matter how particular you are, can you still pay attention to our ancestors?"
"Haha, this young man is so funny. After hearing this, the old man smiled faintly.
"I'll go inform them now. Minister Guo was just about to take out the phone and make a call, but was stopped by the old man and said, "Don't worry, listen to the meeting again." ”
This bizarre ancient fashion show made all the guests in the auditorium watch it with relish, and if you just listen to the host's pure explanation, it really can't be attractive.
But with the fashion catwalk of the model, the host popped out some interesting jokes from time to time, and all the guests laughed and applauded the host from time to time.
"This is the Han Dynasty princes can wear clothing, whether it is the pattern, or the color is very particular, even the jade pendant has a place to say, such as the group of jade pendants, the group of jade pendants has both the nature of ceremonial jade, and has eye-catching decorative functions, non-princely magnates can not wear, and even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, for the system of this group of jade pendants, specially formulated a law, stipulating what kind of person, on what occasion can wear this group of jade pendants. ”
"I remember when I used to go to Europe on a business trip, I always heard them talk about aristocratic etiquette, how to drink, and their ancient castle of the Rausch nobles, treated as a treasure, in fact, in my opinion, the demeanor of the so-called nobles in the West, compared with our ancient Chinese dignitaries, it is really weak, and it is all left over from our ancestors. ”……
The host's words once again caused everyone on the scene to burst into laughter, especially his ridicule of the so-called aristocratic etiquette in Europe, which made all the people present happy, to be honest, with the more and more frequent exchanges in the modern world, the country is more and more disgusted with the Western etiquette civilization, and now the host said what was in their hearts, so they applauded more than that.
After a while, the distinctive Three Kingdoms fashion show came to an end.
Yang Ming slowly walked on stage, there were too many bigwigs in the crew, so this time he went on stage alone to give a speech before the movie was released, and no one else was ready to go on stage.
He faced the microphone and saw all the guests in the audience, and then he saw Minister Guo standing at the entrance of the auditorium, and when he saw one of the old men, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was shocked, he didn't expect Minister Guo to invite this over.
However, his expression quickly recovered.
He immediately beckoned a staff member not far behind him to come over, whispered a few words in his ear, and alluded to the direction of the entrance to the auditorium, before turning his head and coughing lightly, and said slowly:
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the aggression of the great powers, we talked to others about etiquette and civilization, and they talked to us about guns; later, after the founding of China, under the leadership of great men, we talked with others with guns, and they said that we were not democratic and not a member of the civilized world!"
With an ironic tone, Yang Ming pretended to have an innocent expression, making everyone smile knowingly.
And so it is.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, I talked to people about what kind of etiquette state, and almost became a semi-colonial country, but now China is strong, and it speaks with strength, and the West always uses the so-called etiquette to talk about things.
"I never thought that wearing handmade clothes, living in a castle, and sipping red wine was considered aristocrat!"
- Haha.
Everyone laughed again when they heard Yang Ming's words, but many people were curious in their hearts, did Yang Ming say these words have anything to do with today's movie premiere?
"Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is a film about ancient wars, but it is also a film that reflects the long history and culture of our China. Yang Ming said loudly.
Shakespeare said that books are the nourishment of all mankind, and that life without books is like the absence of sunshine, and that without books in wisdom is like a bird without wings. It can be seen how important books are to us. A person's growth is inseparable from books, and the rejuvenation of a nation and the strength of a country are also inseparable from books. ”
"Then, the inheritance of a country is also inseparable from the inheritance of culture, and in today's era, I think film is one of the most direct means to elaborate on cultural inheritance. ”
When the words fell, some of the guests at the scene who were more serious in literature and art applauded loudly.
Yang Ming looked at the reaction of the audience, calm, indifferent, and continued: "From the hundred schools of thought to the four great inventions; From the four famous works to mathematics and medicine, from calligraphy and painting to architecture and water conservancy, from the decline of the past to the great power of today...... All of them shine with the light of the wisdom of the Chinese nation. ”
"With a long history of 5,000 years, people with lofty ideals have emerged one after another, Chinese virtues have shone brightly, and the national spirit has been passed down from generation to generation. Such as the holy master Confucius, the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, the self-improvement Fan Zhongyan, and the loyal Yue Yun...... Their virtues, their spirit of unremitting self-improvement, and their national heroism have all inspired us from generation to generation. ”
"The culture of our nation is no worse than any nation in the world, so when I heard that some people always say that Chinese movies cannot become the mainstream of the world entertainment industry, and some people say that if it is a film purely based on Chinese culture, it is destined to be impossible to achieve box office success, I can't sit still, so I decided to make a Chinese film with pure Chinese culture!"
"It's today's "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms"!"
The applause at the scene was thunderous, and everyone applauded Yang Ming again.
