Wintour took the design in Galliano's hand and looked at it, he was stunned at first, then flipped back and said in surprise: "This is the dress worn by the Chinese girl at the Tokyo Film Festival, how can the design be here?" and then looked up and asked, "Whose desk is this?"

The people around are a little confused, isn't it, even the female devil has such a big reaction? What kind of design is it?

One employee said cautiously: "This is Alexander Wang's position, he is an intern in the clothing group. ”

Wintour was very interested in the designer of the "Bamboo" series, but he didn't expect that the clue of this person was in Vogue, and ordered: "Get him, John and I want to see him!"

The employee immediately trotted to find Wang Daren, the female devil doesn't like to wait for people, if she moves slowly, she will wait to be trained!

Galliano heard Wintour mention that there were girls wearing this dress at the festival, and asked curiously, "Anna, have you seen this ready-to-wear?"

Wintour nodded: "Almost a month ago, the media reported on the Tokyo Film Festival, and there was a Chinese girl who wore a dress from this series, but I don't know who the designer is. Why, you think the design is excellent, right?"

Galliano looked at the sketch in his hand and exclaimed, "It's outstanding, I especially like this sky blue design, it's sexy." He does a particularly good job of dividing the lines, and the treatment of the outer contours, the inner structural lines, and the decorative divisions reminds me of Giorgio Armani. Although Armani also designed Chinese-style dresses, they were not as good as this one. ”

Wintour nodded: "I was very shocked when I saw the photos, I have seen a lot of dresses with Chinese elements before, but most of them are very deliberate. The two cheongsams you designed in '97 are very good, and I remember them very well!"

In '97, Galliano showed two dresses with Chinese elements on his debut at the helm of Dior. Among them, the apple green cheongsam was favored by Nicole Kidman and wore it to the Oscars that year. It was the first time the cheongsam appeared on the red carpet of the Oscars.

Galliano shook his head with a smile and said: "My design is the China of my imagination, it is the dramatic China, and his design is the real China." His lines are particularly soft and light, the fabric is made of silk, which can show a flowing side, and wearing this dress is like a fairy walking. In fact, the best part is that the whole design presents a balance, which is fantastic!"

Wintour wondered, "Balance? All costume designs require balance!"

Galliano looked at the design in his hand and said: "The balance in the design of the garment refers to the balance of the color, line, pattern and texture of the collar, sleeves, folds and body, as well as the balance of structural lines, dividing lines and sewing lines. China also pays attention to this, but they also had a balance in ancient times. The balance between man and nature. They believe that man and nature are one, and that there is a balance between people wearing clothes and being in nature. I stayed at the Shaolin Temple for a week, and I was very inspired by what they said when I talked to the monks inside. This design has that kind of balance between man and nature, a peculiar sense of balance. ”

Wintour nodded slowly: "I understand as soon as you say that, I feel when I see the photos of the film festival, that girl seems to be walking in the bamboo forest, it is a wonderful feeling." ”

A few minutes later, Wang Daren was called. He was confused. There are even some worries. After all, Zhang Ran laughed at Lauren fiercely just now, and it was possible for her to sue herself in front of Wintour. The first thing he did when he came over was to look at Lauren, and when he saw Lauren standing beside Wintour, looking at him coldly. My heart suddenly became worried.

When Galliano saw Wang Daren coming, he politely asked, "You are Alexander-King?"

Wang Daren naturally recognized Galliano, and heard that he was looking for him. With a slight sigh of relief in his heart, he asked, "Yes." Mr. Galliano, I wonder what you're looking for me?"

Galliano took the paper and shook it in front of Wang Daren's eyes: "Are you designing these clothes?"

Wang Daren saw that it was Zhang Ran's design drawing. Immediately laughed. He had heard that Wintour liked Zhang Ran's "Bamboo" series very much, and now things are interesting, Zhang Ran has been angry with Lauren.

However, Wang Daren's heart was more shocked, Wintour and Galliano both have extraordinary status in the fashion circle, but they want to meet Zhang Ran when they see Zhang Ran's design drawings. He admired Zhang Ran more and more: "No, this is designed by my friend, a Chinese designer, he is a real genius!"

Galliano asked, "What's his name?"

Wang Daren glanced at Lauren, who was looking at herself in horror, shivering like a fallen leaf in the wind, and smiled: "Half an hour ago, he visited here. But Lauren insulted him, saying that he was a man from the fashion desert and did not understand fashion. He was very angry and left!"

Although Anna Wintour is known as the female devil, she likes to help talented young designers, when Galliano was poor, it was her recommendation to become Dior's designer, Marc Jacob was also recommended by her to take charge of LV, and even the later Wang Daren became popular because of her support.

Now a very talented young designer came to visit Vogue, but was insulted by his assistant and left in a bad mood. If this is to get out, it will be a damage to Vogue and to your reputation. Wintour looked at Lauren and said sternly, "Lauren, you can find a new job!"

Lauren's face turned pale, he had been in Vogue for nine months, and if he stayed at Vogue for a year and then moved to another company, he would get a good position, and if he left now, he would not have anything. She pleaded, "Anna, I will apologize to Mr. Zhang, please give me a chance!"

Wintour said coldly: "Don't look down on any designer, even if they are down, Vogue can have today's status because the designers have raised us." What you've done is a huge disservice to Vogue. You can go!"

Lauren's mouth opened to defend herself, but in the end she didn't say anything. She glared at Wintour fiercely and turned to leave. But she said viciously in her heart, I will write a book. Will write everything out, and I'll let everyone know who you really are. An imperious demon!

Wintour looked at Wang Daren and said in an unquestionable tone, "Call your friend." Let him come back, John and I want to see him. ”

"Okay, Ms. Wintour!" Wang Daren quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Ran's number. He will survive in the fashion industry in the future, and the words of the female devil must be listened to.

Zhang Ran was taken aback when he received a call from Wang Daren, Wintour and Galliano want to see me? These two are god-level figures in the fashion circle, especially Wintour, who is the queen of the fashion circle. can have a relationship with these people, Zhang Ran naturally can't ask for it.

As soon as Zhang Ran walked into the Condé Nast Building, Wang Daren rushed over. Pull him into the elevator and run.

When the elevator reached the twelfth floor, Wang Daren pulled Zhang Ran into Wintour's office and introduced: "Ms. Wintour, Mr. Galliano, this is Zhang Ran, a designer from China!"

Galliano smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Ran: "I didn't expect that there are outstanding designers like you in China, I like the design very much!"

"Thank you, Mr. Galliano!" Zhang Ran smiled, his gaze turning to Anna Wintour, who was sitting behind the desk. The eternal BOBO head. With a face as cold as ice, the whole person exuded a powerful aura.

In front of the queen of the fashion circle, Zhang Ran didn't dare to make a mistake, smiled and nodded: "Hello." Ms. Wintour. ”

"You may be seated, Mr. Zhang. Wintour looked at Zhang Ran and bowed slightly, pointing to the chair across from the desk.

"Thank you. Zhang Ran nodded. Sit down.

Wintour had no expression on his face, very serious. It's like an examiner: "I saw your design, it's very beautiful." Do you have more designs?"

Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders. Helplessly, he said: "No, I'm not a costume designer, I'm a film director." My girlfriend and I are not well-known, and we can't borrow clothes from big brands when we go to the festival. Even second-tier brands can only borrow leftovers from others, and there are no good-looking designs. I can't help it, I'll have to design it myself!"

Wintour was taken aback, the film director, because his girlfriend didn't have a dress designed by himself, this man is a real genius!

Galliano once fell out, knowing what it was like to be left out in the cold, and said boldly: "In the future, your girlfriend will wear Dior, and she can choose any style!"

Hearing that Zhang Jingchu's dress Dior was wrapped, Zhang Ran was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Galliano." You're such a nice guy, I don't have to worry about my girlfriend's dress now!"

Not wanting to hear this, Galliano cried out: "No, no, no, I can't lend you Dior's dress, and I want to ask all the designers I know not to lend you." If your girlfriend can borrow a dress, you won't be doing design anymore, it would be a waste of your talent. Anna, are you right?"

Wintur looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "It makes sense!"

Zhang Ran was a little crying and laughing, these two are both gods in the fashion circle, especially Wintour. She wants to say hello, and Zhang Jingchu may not be able to borrow big-name dresses in the future: "Mr. Galliano, my girlfriend is a loyal fan of yours, she likes the dress you designed very much, she will be very sad if you do this!"

"It's okay to lend it to your girlfriend. Galliano touched his mustache, then raised the design of the "Bamboo" series in his hand, "But you have to tell me about your whole design concept." I'm very interested in the state you present, it's amazing that people and nature are in balance!"

Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it was the unity of heaven and man, explaining: "Traditional Chinese clothing is derived from the ancient people's worship of heaven and earth, and it is the materialized expression of the concept of 'unity of heaven and man' in ancient Chinese philosophy. Heaven is the representative of nature, man and heaven are essentially connected, and all people and things should conform to the laws of nature......"

Zhang Ran originally planned to return to Los Angeles after getting Wang Daren and continue to work on the preparation of the crew. As a result, he met Galliano, an art maniac, and pulled Zhang Ran to discuss traditional Chinese philosophy and clothing with him. Zhang Ran was tossed enough, and finally found an English version of the Tao Te Ching, telling him that this book is the essence of ancient Chinese philosophical thought, and he will gain a lot after reading it.

But what really freed Zhang Ran was Mary Finn's phone call, which was bad news.

As Mary Fein expected, Keanu Reeves refused to star in Zhang Ran's play. In the past, after Keanu Reeves became popular in "Speed of Life and Death", there were a bunch of action blockbusters waiting for him to pick up, but he went to act in literary films and never acted in action movies again, and even "Speed of Life and Death 2" was forced to change the plot, saying that the heroine had found a new boyfriend. He acted in three "The Matrix", and it was normal to refuse Zhang Ran's sci-fi films.

However, Keanu Reeves is Zhang Ran's first choice, and he is the most suitable in every aspect. Zhang Ran didn't want to change to someone else, he was sure to convince Keanu Reeves.

Although Keanu Reeves does his own thing, he is an actor after all, and an actor has the pursuit of an actor! )
