21. Sycophant Qiao Yun

[Dear Professor Gu, I haven't seen you since the graduation ceremony, I know that you are disappointed in me, but I think that for us, no matter how many words we explain, it is not as good as a brilliant design. So I suppressed the words in my heart......]

"Wouldn't it be too numb. Qiao Yun stopped typing, rereading the words with some hesitation, she shouted embarrassedly, "Ah, I'll rub it, it's too numb, it's too numb, delete it." ”

After pressing the delete button several times in a row, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, she ...... again I cowardly restored these true confessions: Professor Gu is old after all, and people of her era are born with literary and artistic styles, so they have to use this tone to communicate.

[So I suppressed the apologies in my heart,] She began to write this letter of peace again-or it is okay to write a letter of peace, Professor Gu is the most convenient road to Shanghai Fashion Week, although - although Qiao Yun has never learned how to write the word 'pleading' since she was a child, but she also knows that she can't be like a proud stupid X, head up to complete the road of entrepreneurship, designers ask people, this is the first request of 9981, it is her teacher who is asking for it, Professor Gu has this qualification. [Until today, I feel that I have a little bit of accomplishment that I can give you a review, so I take the liberty of writing to you.] I know that my design still has a lot of shortcomings, and I feel very weak at this moment, and I need the guidance of my teacher......]

This is the truth, within the scope of choice, Qiao Yun has always tried to tell the truth - her design, even the one that amazes Fu Zhan, is actually a semi-finished product, Fu Zhan likes it so much, Meng Ze's photography skills account for a certain proportion. These works, still photos may be fine, but it takes a few times to settle and filter down the runway: the designer's job is like this, to do the design passionately, to finish the narcissism, 'how am I so talented' - about five minutes, then calm down, critically look at it from the perspective of a critic and a businessman, a marketing expert, remove the superfluous elements, and maybe painfully remove even your favorite parts for the sake of the integrity of the whole design - and then the real critic, The marketing department and the marketing department will come and find fault again, and the designer will have to switch to narcissism again, frantically defend himself, and then (very reluctantly) make certain compromises.

In terms of Qiao Yun's own preferences, she likes to change the finished product, the sketch is just the embodiment of the concept, and even when she plays the board, she will adjust the design concept, and when the sample is first presented and worn by the model, she will form a preliminary impression of this dress: Fu Zhan's appreciation is indeed not bad, he will be the kind of critic that the designer likes very much, he read out the image symbolized by this long dress, imprisoned, Blooming under the restraint and pressure, the usually stiff and erotic leather is designed to restrain the undulating curves of the female figure. Conceptually, it presented to her satisfaction, but she kept wandering whether to modify the design of the skirt, whether the high slit would be overdesigned, wouldn't it be better if the slit was moved down to the knee or simply removed? But was it a bit too dull to remove the slit and move it down to the knee, and the whole dress felt too restrictive.

[The photos attached to the letter are a collcetion I have been working on recently, and I have been struggling with some of these issues for several days, and I can't make a decision, and it is difficult for me to express my joy and gratitude if you are willing to give me advice......] She scratched her head and continued typing, [ Actually, this is also the reason why I don't think I am suitable to go to Parsons, I am a slow-cooking designer, that kind of fast-paced learning will bring me a lot of pressure, of course I don't want to talk about anything, Parsons's fast pace is just to pick out the best students, perhaps, compared to the talent of all participants, a little over-selective, and the teaching there is more about simulating the worst situation that a designer will encounter to make you adapt, so that you are prepared for the rest of life in the rhythm of life and mentally. If you're really talented, your design will mature in the middle of this, and I don't think I need this kind of simulation training anymore......]

She paused and deleted the last few sentences, [Parsons's fast pace is just to pick out the best students, which I very much recognize, but I don't fit in that way. Maybe I could adjust myself to Parsons' pace, but I've always believed that good design can only be made when the mind is at its freest, and I'm afraid that I can't compete with the native students who don't have cultural barriers. 】

In order to obtain Professor Gu's forgiveness, it is necessary to make an acceptable explanation for Parsons, and of course, it cannot involve the 'fast-paced business design experience' that she has no reason to have, Qiao Yun scratched her head and continued to write, [This is also the most difficult decision I have ever made, forgive me for not communicating with you in a timely manner, because the pressure on my heart is extremely high, overwhelming my desire to talk...... Maybe it's because of this, when I made up my mind, I felt as if I had regained a new life, I grew spiritually, and when I started drawing again, I didn't know how to describe it, and I had a feeling of enlightenment...... These matures, hopefully, are reflected in the design, not in my delusions. 】

- In addition to Parsons, Qiao Yun actually had to explain her design, when she returned to the present world, the design of the graduation exhibition had been submitted, and she obtained the permission of Professor Gu, and began to make zuò samples, find models, and communicate the lighting and stage design, and the room for change was not very large, and she didn't have the heart to change this at that time, so this caused an obvious disconnect: it wasn't her narcissism or anything-well, even if she was narcissistic, [rhyme] Vol.1 is really different from her graduation project, and the maturity level is worlds apart, and the latter can get an excellent graduation project, not because it is great, but because the competitors are really ...... Ahem, ahem.

This kind of difference is so big, the style gap is so far that Professor Gu is likely to suspect her of stealing the design, Qiao Yun has no choice but to enter the storytelling mode, she decided not to waste it, this story will be directly used in the brand story of the official website in the future. [While working on this design, my mind slowly calmed down and stopped questioning my decision. Maybe I've wasted a precious opportunity, but the design model that I'm most comfortable with takes time and money, and the same goes for building a brand. Therefore, I chose to get involved in Taobao e-commerce to accumulate capital for myself, which is very vulgar and unstylish, I know, directly contrary to the aesthetics you usually teach, but I am not ashamed to admit this: Teacher, I am very young, except for a little living expenses given by my parents, I have almost nothing in this world, so there is no room for picky work, in order to realize my dreams, there is no hardship that I can't endure. Please believe that this job is a ladder to my dreams, a stopgap measure, and the only thing that makes me happy is the design ......]

Even if the love letter has never been written so numbly, Qiao Yun stared at the 'only' and thought for a long time, but still decided not to delete it: sweet words are allowed to be exaggerated to a certain extent, and for a literary and artistic young woman like Teacher Gu, who is above the top, she should actually swear a little more and render herself a little more righteous and awe-inspiring.

However, the economic difficulties brought are enough. The rest of the scenes are left blank, and Mr. Gu can naturally make up for it with imagination: whether at home or abroad, being a designer is very expensive, does the studio need money? The materials used in the show are naturally good, like Qiao Yun's sample clothes, an idea can make two or three pieces out of the comparison choice, not artificial, a piece of clothing is a small cost of thousands in minutes, this season's Collection cost is casually 100,000 yuan, the kind of rookie designer who has just debuted is not a joke when he looks at expensive fabrics and drools, although in commercial clothing, the cost of fabrics accounts for a very small proportion, but the show money of pure expenditure deposit is different.

This is just the most basic expense, for example, if Professor Gu is impressed this time and gives her the opportunity to open a show in the fashion week, then the model fee, the makeup team, photography, lighting, exhibition arrangement, and the cost of media exhibition and press release, this is not a small expense - this is pure money, good lighting, good design and good booth layout all have to be bought with money, and no money is about the same as low. Therefore, independent designers have to apply for sponsorship for many shows, especially fur, if there is no investment to burn (usually not in the early stage), and there is no sponsorship, then play the environmental protection card, leather you will definitely not be able to afford anyway.

Qiao Yun was indecisive in her previous life, and she didn't start over for a long time, but she deeply understood that the expenses and income were not proportional to her income, her income was not low, but she didn't have so much money to burn, but this life was different, not to mention those piecemeal 'endorsement fees', a long shirt, a LadyDior, and a pair of Roman shoes, she earned a few million small - Painstakingly making LadyDior popular, of course, is not a voluntary service, the same as making shoes, D City is a lot of handicraft workshops, Qingge borrowed this shareholder style, and raised two or three four or five diamond trumpets, just by making copycat bags and shoes, of course, also going out to various grades of goods. It's just that this profit is not as good as a white shirt, Qiao Yun can't dismantle the picture, everyone relies on copycats, and the competition is fierce, Qingge only takes advantage of the prescient east wind, and now he has gradually lost his market advantage.

It's good to be a local tyrant, buy a few more top-level lambskins, make one out and see the effect first, and then do it if you don't like it. Qiao Yun put down the computer, got up and put on her clothes again, hastily wrote down a few thoughts, and when she had played enough happily in the dress-up game, the blue stripe was almost full, and she came back to continue to carry her farts - although she felt that Professor Gu must have guessed what she was asking for when she saw this, but she couldn't be soft when she should be servile.

[It's hard to say, but if my design makes you feel like there's something to be good about it, Teacher, if you can still allow me to call you Teacher...... Shanghai Fashion Week in October this year, I want to ......]

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think about it anymore - no matter how I begged someone to cover it up, it was very naked, naked, and Qiao Yun didn't know what to say about it. Shanghai Fashion Week is one of the two most compelling fashion weeks in China, when clothing merchants from all over the country will gather here, of course, there are large and small clothing brands will come to the show, of course, anyone can participate, even if you don't get an invitation letter, can not go to the meeting, you can also rent a lobby in a hotel near the venue, send people to the door of the venue to distribute flyers, pull people to open an order meeting, if you are bold enough, set up a platform in the open air outside the venue, and go to the catwalk yourself, but, can be invited by the official to participate, the meaning contained in it, after all, is different……

Qiao Yun does not expect that she can do the opening or closing show, or even get a place to walk the catwalk at the main venue during the fashion week, which has nothing to do with whether her design is good or not, and now there are less than two months before Shanghai Fashion Week, and this kind of catwalk list is generally set half a year ago. Her best hope is to have her own office in the exhibition area, and even better, there will be a venue in the branch venue, and she will be given a display at a certain time, and the worst result is to rent a hotel near the venue.

And this result does not depend on her: when she digs the first pot of gold, the registration time has passed, even if it has not passed, without any relationship, it is difficult to say that Qiao Yun does not want to talk too much in this regard, this belongs to Chinese characteristics, and it also belongs to the unspoken rules of the fashion circle. In short, whether she can get a legitimate ticket now depends on whether Professor Gu can be moved by this letter: Professor Gu herself will not fly to participate in Shanghai Fashion Week, which is the traditional territory of Donghua University, but she has been teaching for many years, and she has a direct relationship with the Shanghai Fashion Designers Association and the Fashion Week Organizing Committee.

So how important is this begging? How much power does Professor Gu have in his hands? Qiao Yun didn't know how to write, [I thought, can you please be accommodating......]

It's not good, delete it, it feels cheesy like going through the back door - although that's the back door.

[If you think that my talent doesn't have to be buried......] Damn, it's too narcissistic, Professor Gu will definitely not like it when he sees it.

【Can you ......】

【Can you ......】

It took more than half an hour to waste, and it was not so sad to draw the design drawings, and in the end, she gave up on herself, and Sister Zhang put on her body, [In short, the clothes are made! If you like it, let me go to a fashion week, teacher! Please, please, look at how beautiful this skirt is, not better than others? It's a pity, let me go on and let me go on Teacher-]

This version, she is cool, Professor Gu is estimated to collapse when she sees it, Qiao Yun snorted and admired it for a while, feeling that her mental power has been exhausted to the limit, she really wants to find someone to complain, but who can understand her suffering? No matter who it is, it will definitely say, 'Go to Parsons for two years, and you are afraid that you won't show off when you come back?', Qin Wei will definitely say this, Bai Qian will not say this but she must think so in her heart, the most afraid is that Professor Gu read the whole email, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said exactly the same thing......

Qiao Yun felt that she was feeling the greatest loneliness in the world, she sniffed, regularly smashed the table with her forehead, smashed it for a while, and unfortunately made it worse, and heard an ominous 'boom' in her ears.

The sound was familiar, it was an effect sound from the email, and she looked up sharply and looked at it in disbelief: really, I don't know if it was the mouse or the Intuos when she smashed the table just now, and now the webpage has been refreshed, and it shows 'Your mail has been successfully delivered'.

"Ah!!!!!h

"Isn't it!!!!"

"it, ahh――――――h

Even if she was so nervous that she ran around, she couldn't save the fact that the email had been sent and couldn't be reversed, it took Qiao Yun about four hours to get herself back on her feet and face the world bravely: don't say anything, let's start looking at the hotel......

During Fashion Week, good hotels are also to be grabbed, and there are not a few studios with the same mind as her......

Today, I shouldn't have the heart to do design, she simply turned on her mobile phone and Q.Q, while pumping and searching the map to see the hotel, it was getting late, a lone lamp on the messy workbench, only illuminating one person, the whole picture revealed a lonely atmosphere......

With a ding, her Q rang.

[This is the last time I got involved with Qin Wei!] The tone of the person who sent the message was not very good. [Tell Bai Qian not to bother me again!]

His unhappiness became Qiao Yun's pleasure, and she began to curl her lips, [Just allow you to annoy Bai Qian, don't you allow Bai Qian to bother you? Fan Lifeng, you are so double standard, I am so afraid. 】

Fan Lifeng sent a violent expression, considering that it is only 2007, this is really advancing with the times, [I won't tell you, anyway, I will sue you about this-Aunt Lin blocked Qin Wei's financial resources, and all his □□ is now unusable. Okay, that's it, I'm leaving, don't contact again, bye-bye!]

When he said that, his avatar immediately turned gray, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to get out of the Qin family's current family revolution: Qiao Yun guessed that Fan Lifeng would not give Qin Wei any financial support, and he should also hope that Qin Wei could return to the right track and live a life that suited his class.

But maybe he was a little bit less hopeful, or he wouldn't have given her the news.

The prince is in trouble, it seems that Qin Wei's side has been watching a good show recently.

Schadenfreude is not good, but the corners of Qiao Yun's lips are still curled, she thinks for a few seconds, and sends a message to Fan Lifeng, regardless of whether he responds or not.

[Wait for him to return to City B, arrange time, and I will take the time to meet him. 】
