The signing in Times Square was over, Andrea returned to the company's headquarters, and Scott followed Zheng to the next stop - the New York headquarters of Vogue magazine, a building in the heart of Manhattan.

In the car, Scott told him that today's event was simple, just to take some photos for the cover and inside pages of the September issue of Vogue, a total of three to five photos.

If Zheng Xudong doesn't know much about "ELLE", then he doesn't know much about "VOGUE". On the way, he still asked Scott to "make up" for him first. So as not to make jokes in the course of speaking in the future.

In fact, through this trip to the United States, Zheng Xudong really felt that the ancient Chinese said that it was too correct -- it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read a thousand books! Books are basically full of natural sciences, but social sciences are very little taught, and when he arrived in the United States, he has been laughed at several times. There's no way, it's better to make others laugh than to make outsiders laugh, so let's humbly ask this "old gun" in the American entertainment industry for advice!

Scott is also very happy that his good things can be "shown" in front of Zheng Xudong. Because it is true that the pressure on this young man is too great, a scholarly talent, he can teach everything almost as soon as he can, even he can fly an airplane, think about what else he can't learn, so the more this is the case, the more Zheng Xudong asks him for advice, the more open he is!

Vogue is a journal published by Condé Nast Publications Inc. Founded in 1892, it is a comprehensive fashion and lifestyle magazine with a long history and wide respect in the world. The magazine covers all aspects of fashion, makeup, beauty, health, entertainment and art, and is regarded as the world's Fashion Bible. At present, it has been published in 21 countries and regions around the world.

"Fashion Bible, is it really fake?" Zheng Xudong asked suspiciously, as he watched Scott introduce with a look of admiration.

Scott glanced at Zheng Xudong next to him with great contempt, ignored his questions, and continued to introduce that Mr. Nashi, the owner of "VOGUE", was the first publisher to hire an artist as a magazine photographer. Vogue was also the world's first magazine to use color photography to depict fashion creations. VOGUE MAGAZINE IS NOW ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MAGAZINE BRANDS IN THE WORLD. This achievement is due to its policy of emphasizing editorial independence and upholding the highest editorial standards. The monthly Vogue magazine has 18 million of the world's most influential and loyal readers. Around the world, Vogue magazine is revered by designers, writers and artists as an authority on style and fashion. In the United States, "Vogue" is known as the "fashion bible", even the prestigious "Cosmopolitan" (Chinese magazine name "fashion") abroad has not reached the level that can compete with "Vogue", and "MarieClaire" is not on the same level as "Vogue", only "Harper's Bazaar" and "ELLE" really compete with "Vogue", and other magazines are simply difficult to match.

Speaking of this, Scott said with good intentions: "You know why President Andrea and I chose ELLE, because it is one of the three major magazines in the world, and it is on par with Bazaar and Vogue. I'm going to take you to Vogue today for a photo shoot, and you've already occupied the covers of two current magazines, Bazaar. There was a chance that you would be able to shoot the cover of Bazaar magazine. ”

Zheng Xudong really didn't expect that he would be on the cover of two of the three major magazines in the fashion industry.

Mr. Scott also said that as the owner of the magazine, CondéNest owns not only the flagship product of Vogue, but also top magazines such as GQ, Vanity Fair, Traveler, Wired and The New Yorker.

Zheng Xudong had only heard of "Vanity Fair" and "The New Yorker", and he had never heard of other magazines. But he already had a general idea of the magazine.

He had seen the female classmates in the class take out Vogue magazines and read them, and they also passed them around among the girls to see a large circle, as if whoever didn't look at it was a "turtle" and who was out of touch with the latest fashion.

In order to show that he is not a "turtle" and to "mingle" with his classmates, Zheng Xudong had to borrow "Vogue" magazine from the girl with a beard heavier than her eyebrows who was a little "interesting" to him. He still remembers that the cover of Vogue's June magazine was female star Tang Wei, who was unlucky. was banned from acting in the mainland for two years because of the filming of "Lust and Caution", in her own words, that is, "I am neither the author of the novel, nor the producer, screenwriter, or director of the movie, just a heroine, and your radio and television have also passed the review, and you have not banned these people, including the male protagonist Tony Leung, only banning me from being a little woman, let me go to reason!"

said off topic, and then said that the cover of Vogue magazine in May was a foreign woman, he didn't know, but in April he met - Li Bingbing, in March was a group of beautiful women, only two Chinese - Du Juan, Liu Wen. Zheng Xudong watched these issues at the time, and he couldn't do it if he didn't read it, otherwise he would seem "unsociable". This is Chinese society, even if you don't like it, you can't be too individual, unless you are strong enough!

Shooting magazine covers in Vogue's New York headquarters is obviously much more important than VogueELLE, and the editor-in-chief of the American magazine personally came out to greet Zheng Xudong, which Zheng Xudong did not expect, in fact, even Scott did not expect it, because it is simply incredible. On the way here, Scott introduced Zheng Xudong to the American version of "Vogue" "Anna Wintour", saying that 99% of the Chinese people with this name do not know where she is sacred, but if you want to say that the prototype of the female devil played by Meryl Streep in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" (Fashion Witch) is her, everyone knows it. That's right, she's the photo finish prototype from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" and the animated film "My Little Pony: Frendship is Magic". Since 1988, he has been the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine in the United States, establishing Vogue as a point of interest in setting trends and supporting emerging designers. The Guardian called her "the unofficial mayor of New York". Although she has long since settled in New York, she was born in the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom will certainly not forget the illustrious Anna Wintour, who was later awarded the "Lord of the Order of the British Empire" in May 2017.

Just when Zheng Xudong felt that Anna Wintour personally came out to greet him, Anna Wintour's words were like a basin of ice water poured from her head to her feet, "I (born in November 1949) and Andrea are old friends, for her sake, come out to greet you, a young man." Then he waved into the distance, and immediately out of nowhere came a white male photographer in his sixties at least, "He's Patrick Demarchelier, the chief cinematographer of our American version of Vogue, for Andrea's sake, you can go and take a picture with him today!"

Zheng Xudong saw many employees of Vogue magazine's US headquarters observing them from different corners, they all knew "Anton" and knew that he was a Chinese wonder boy, but what made them curious was why the "female devil" in their minds would personally come out to greet this "little coffee", which is what they cared about. But they are too far away to hear the conversation between the "female devil" and Zheng Xudong clearly, and they dare not get close to eavesdropping, if they are discovered by the "female devil", they will be kicked out of the American entertainment industry, basically no one can intercede!

Zheng Xudong first said thank you to the background of the "female devil" Anna Wintour, and then took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with the gray-haired photographer, and then said in French: "Hard work!"

Patrick de Marscherier, apparently not expecting this little kid from China to speak French so standardly, happily stretched out his hand and said in French, "You speak French very well, did you grow up in Paris, young man?"

"No, Mr. Patrick de Marschelier, I have never been to beautiful Paris, and I would like to have time to visit there and see the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, and so on. Zheng Xudong said fluently in French.

Patrick de Marschelier stretched out his hand to the front of him, indicating what we were talking as we walked, and then said: "Monsieur Anton, I highly recommend to you my hometown, Le Havre, on the north bank of the Seine estuary on the north-west coast of France, which is more reflective of the French people. ”

"Yes, Mr. Patrick de Marschelier, I will definitely visit your hometown if I have the chance. ”

Patrick Demasherier was also very happy to hear him say this, and said: "Actually, I also went to your magic city in China in 2007. ”

"Oh, is it? Is it work to go there?"

"Yes, I was invited to shoot the 2008 Pirelli Calendar for Pirelli. And the location of the calendar is the magic capital. It's beautiful! it's no worse than Paris!"

Scott can understand some simple French conversations, but he can't speak, he didn't expect Zheng Xudong to speak French, and he speaks it so well, so standard, of course he also recognizes the "big name" in the world photography industry in front of him, and said to Zheng Xudong next to him: "Adong, Patrick Demasherier signed a 12-year contract with the American fashion magazine Harper's Baazar. He had previously worked with Vogue for 15 years. During this period, he also participated in the shooting of famous brands such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Armani, as well as A-list stars such as Jenny Jackson, Nicole Kidman and Madonna. When the name of Patrick Demasshelier is mentioned in the world photography world, everyone knows it!" Scott also changed his direction by introducing Zheng Xudong to Patrick Demasselier.

Sure enough, Patrick Demascherier was very satisfied with Scott's introduction and smiled knowingly. Although he was happy, he said modestly: "Mr. Anton, if I am not mistaken, you should be Mr. Scott, who is also a big name in the circle of economists." ”

The two sides flattered each other and the atmosphere was extremely friendly, and they came to Patrick de Marschelier's special studio.
