40 Du Wenwen's hesitation
In fact, speaking of Du Wenwen, it shouldn't be so difficult to invite - the profession of model, although it is the same in and out of the camera, and the star has shared the highlight areas such as fashion magazines and big billboards, but it is by no means as high as the average person thinks, and the current situation of the industry is very counterintuitive: the more models go, the more money they have, the more high-end shows don't give money, it's not uncommon to give a bag and finish the job, and when you are the most stingy, there is no money and no bag, and the model is completely doing day work. Taking pictures of fashion magazines, the money received is much less than thought, and the real money of models still depends on commercial activities, advertising, endorsements, etc., etc., but compared with models and actors and singers of the same level, the income is often only a fraction of others.
This is still the most developed fashion industry in Europe and the United States, in China, if the model is not thinking about cross-border, it is more like a job, of course, it will not starve to death, but it is also impossible to get rich overnight like the entertainment industry. If you can't go abroad, you will focus on four weeks of shows a year, and there are not many brands that can offer decent prices -- 200,000 yuan is already a sky-high price, and the price of 300,000 yuan is to provoke public anger, all at this price, what should I do with the fashion show? Even if I am a quasi-supermodel who has made a name for myself overseas, I will be boycotted when I return to China to open this price.
Overseas and commercial are two routes, at this time the demarcation is still obvious, usually the hotly discussed strange appearance models, walking, paper people, cold, solemn catwalk style, are all HF model labels, commercial models are all more widely accepted sweet looks, the body should be more plump, closer to the aesthetics of ordinary people, as for in China...... Is there one in the country?
Since you can't get rich overnight, and no, this line doesn't matter if you force the build, everyone looks at the money catwalk, if Meterse Bonwe is willing to invite the first-line models in China today, I believe that people who give enough money will be happy to attend, and no one will talk about anything. This kind of FMCG brand doesn't hire supermodels just because it's not necessary – they usually don't hold clothing shows, preferring to throw a lot of budget at celebrities and ask them to be spokespeople.
"But Miss Du's current situation is quite delicate, and it is indeed an exception. Fu Zhan explained with a smile when he saw Qiao Yun, "Next year's Beijing Fashion Week may be her last activity in China in the short term - Beijing Fashion Week...... At the last moment, I would rather be more cautious and be more picky about the shows to be taken by Beijing Fashion Week. ”
This year's Milan Fashion Week was held late, and there was a time difference of half a month between Beijing Fashion Week. As for why you have to walk the catwalk before leaving...... Even if HF makes a successful debut, it is difficult to say how long it can go, and whether it can successfully turn into business.
"I've seen all the albums, do you still doubt our style?" Qiao Yun just muttered a few words softly, and did not complain about Du Wenwen's caution: she can understand Du Wenwen's mood, it is not easy for Chinese models to walk in the blue blood show, and she always hopes to be foolproof.
"I always have some other concerns, and I hope to know more about Miss Qiao's brand. Fu Zhan said intriguingly, without further explanation.
Qiao Yun glanced at him a few times, and didn't ask, thinking of the last time, he asked curiously, "By the way, is your stomach better?—— I haven't asked you, last time you came to my studio and behaved weird, did you have a bad stomach? Actually, you should tell me, there is medicine in the studio——"
Fu Zhan was stunned at first, and then his expression became weird, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he held back a sentence for a long time, "It's okay...... Thank you Miss Qiao for your concern. ”
He said this a little bit of gritted teeth, Qiao Yun saw it in his eyes and smiled secretly. Fu Zhanquan could see it clearly, he was angry and funny, so he simply excused himself to call Du Wenwen, turned around and walked to the side of the road, out of sight and out of mind.
Du Wenwen is actually almost there, she and Fu Zhan are front and back, in order to show her hospitality, Qiao Yun specially came to the door of the community to pick her up, and patted Fu Zhan's ass by the way - it is estimated that it is going to be empty, Fu Zhan can naturally see through this smooth favor. Within three minutes, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, Du Wenwen got out of it, Fu Zhan and Qiao Yun both felt that it was dark in the air: she was naked and 181 tall, and she wore a pair of 9cm high heels today, and her height of 190 was arrogant, and her long legs and shoes were almost 1.1 meters, standing next to Qiao Yun, most of her people.
"Miss Joe. He smiled heartily, glanced at the community, bent down slightly to shake hands with her, and judged the two of them with Leng Yan in front of the camera, "Wow-what a beauty! ”
Du Wenwen is exaggerating - Qiao Yun is certainly beautiful, but she is also beautiful, she can stand out among the Chinese models who have gone abroad to develop during the same period, not only luck, her cheeks are symmetrical, apricot eyes fly obliquely, a little Danfeng, born with a layer of water vapor in fog, dyed by makeup, it is easy to have a blurry and cold feeling, but the eyes are slightly open, the eye makeup is magnified and the effect is magnified, and then a little smile is friendly and friendly, it is also a big beauty in the traditional sense. Therefore, if you go through l, you can also go to the cover, and variety shows can also be done, and the innate conditions can develop in many ways. Those models with hard face lines or too fairy temperament are only suitable for stunning people on the catwalk in haute couture skirts, but they can't fall to the ground, and they win applause but have no money, what can they do?
Qiao Yun naturally knew her well, but the designer at her level, no matter what the sales are, is different from the supermodel in terms of social status, the two have never dealt with each other, only from the show, Du Wenwen seems to be a northern silly girl in private, she is very scheming, she gets lost without a map, and she is a 190 little princess. After a few words of greeting with her, she overturned this impression: variety shows are really deceptive, and this selling character cannot be taken seriously.
"This community is really," Du Wenwen really has no shelves, and he is indeed lively, and he joked with Qiao Yun as soon as he came in, "Miss Qiao, I have also been to many designer friends' studios, all of which are in the wilderness, and there is no place in front of the village and no store, your studio, what you didn't say, that's it-"
She gave Qiao Yun a thumbs up, looked left and right with a smile, her expression was pure and innocent, which effectively weakened the sense of oppression brought by her height, Qiao Yun looked thoughtful: like Du Wenwen's height, this appearance, her own aura is strong, she should be more cold, and her popularity will definitely not be better.
When Asians go out to mingle in the circle, it is easy to be put on the stereotype of being unsociable, Du Wenwen's affinity can be said to be a wise mask, but she can't take her confusion seriously: Fu Zhan's invitation was sent over, and the album was also given, and even the design was just completed recently, Qiao Yun showed her the photos, and the price code was also opened, 300,000 yuan, Du Wenwen also said that he liked it, but he always said that he didn't give an accurate word, and offered to come to the studio to see, Fu Zhan didn't say what she was worried about, only said that she was going to Milan soon, and she was cautious, Qiao Yun felt that this was her estimate, and he couldn't guess what Du Wenwen was delaying。
It doesn't matter if you can't guess, the little designer pursues supermodels, just asking for a chance, she will give whatever she wants, and if she wants to see the studio, she will bring it to the studio to see, Qiao Yun is cold and willful to the suitor, it is cruel, she has no temper in front of Du Wenwen, and she also laughs, "That's when they complete the production in the studio - many studios are small factories, of course, the space requirements are big, and they can only settle down in the park, and the production of our brand is done by professional factories, and I only complete the design work here, and a small apartment is enough." ”
Quietly, with the confidence of [rhyme], everything is formalized, unlike those designer brands that are scattered and can only barely mix food and clothing, and there is absolutely no possibility of owing money. Fu Zhan gave Qiao Yun a thumbs up behind Du Wenwen's back, and Qiao Yun was about to step on him at the right opportunity, but he escaped.
"It's called a small apartment?" As soon as the door opened, Du Wenwen shouted, she went straight to the workbench, looked at it here and there, and flipped up those layers of photos, "Hey, is this a model made by Miss Qiao herself?" I have an impression of this skirt, it is your big skirt last season - it's a pity that I took a still photo, it must look good on the catwalk, this feeling of staggered contrast——"
Qiao Yun's design has always been dislike for others to look at indiscriminately, but at this time, it is completely open, let her see, Fu Zhan followed behind to take advantage of her and she didn't pay attention, Qiao Yun followed the camera next to her and introduced, "This skirt will also be on the show next year - it will be placed in the display room now, does Miss Du want to wear it and see it?"
The smile on Du Wenwen's face is innocent, but her eyes are very sharp, since she came in, she has been looking around, as if looking for details that only she knows, and her attitude has been changing, and now she smiled and said, "Call me Wenwen - you're welcome, just call you Xiaoyun." ”
Qiao Yun is one year younger than Du Wenwen, but designers and models still have high and low levels in the food chain, and avoiding titles with a strong sense of seniority is the most appropriate way to deal with it: she made another note to Du Wenwen in her heart, this girl really can't be taken lightly. "Friends call me Jojo - come on, come on, Wenwen, the exhibition room is here. ”
Du Wenwen's eyes are still lingering on a room of fake models: the fake models are all new products to be released this season, most of them are still in the first edition, and some are just over half cut, draped and hung, chalk marks and large clips can be seen everywhere, and the vicinity of the workbench is very messy, which shows the time and effort spent by the designer on this.
"The theme of this season is almost the same as that of the previous season?" her tone gradually became clear and calm, and the polite liveliness faded, but there was more professional coldness and challenge, "[Rhyme] The theme of the previous season was fire in the night, what about this season, hasn't it changed?"
The critic's tone, implied provocation, came to the explanation that she didn't like - maybe all artists don't like to define their artistic expression with words repeatedly, so Qiao Yun doesn't like to talk about her designs with others, but she naturally won't shake her face in front of Du Wenwen.
"Well, this autumn and winter will be called "Fire in the Thorns", and I have absorbed a lot of thorns and vines in the design theme, but in general it is still the opposite image of dark and light. She took Du Wenwen to the showroom, "This is the final release of the commercial ready-to-wear collection, here is the concept model, it can't be said to be a show model, no show." But I'll pick a few and put them on the runway of Fashion Week with this dress. ”
In the first show, most of them brought a bit of the designer's personal achievement report, and many designers will put all the excellent designs in the past few years into the show, which is not surprising. Du Wenwen quickly looked at the clothes on the hanger, pulled out one from time to time to take a closer look, and even put it on her body to compare, she looked at Qiao Yun's eyes inquiring and sharp, "The temperament is very echoing, not abrupt, but will it be a little too repetitive in the theme?"
Naturally, work can't only be what you like, Qiao Yun was ready to talk about design with people, even if those memories of her at Parsons have brushed this behavior with the Paplov reflection of 'frustration, nausea, disappointment, nervousness', but the temptation to release the costume still overweighs all the pain- But at this time, she was almost stunned to find that Du Wenwen's doubts and challenges did not bring her similar feelings, maybe because there were doubts in her tone, but she was not picky, maybe because she caught her lingering eyes on the big skirt, she liked this skirt, she really liked it, her design, conquered her attitude, and melted her polite and ambiguous enthusiasm from the beginning to the current pickiness-
Qiao Yun must want to find Du Wenwen to walk her show, she has a high salary, and she is also ready to use sincerity to show her strength, so that Du Wenwen is willing to cast some favors, if these don't work, then use Professor Gu's personal pressure, but she didn't expect that she hadn't started to exert her strength yet, and Du Wenwen had been moved by her design.
At this moment, the pain of the design solidified into a smile, all the sadness and negation melted into happiness, and her design touched a beautiful girl, which made her flutter more than anything: millions can't do it, tens of millions can't do it, and ten Sister Zhang can't do it. Qiao Yun's fingers swept over the skirt, her past seemed to be rewarded at this moment, she smiled and said, "It's true, but the new brand doesn't need to be innovative every season, I want to fix the brand impression first, and then make detailed adjustments." Therefore, there will be a certain reuse of elements in the design, in addition to the similar tone, the fusion of materials, and this loose and chic tough tailoring......"
Her tone was pleasant and clear, and her eyes looked at the costume with a strong enthusiasm, which was her dress, and anyone could see it. Du Wenwen looked around the entire exhibition area, the whole studio, there were traces of messiness everywhere, those styles were strong and harmonious, as if showing the design of the change of thinking, the layers of sketches and still photos on the whiteboard...... It's her clothes, her studio, her designs, and there's a part of her that can be seen by anyone who sees a designer.
Du Wenwen herself is very beautiful, but she has a different understanding of beauty, which may not be beautiful, but it must be beautiful. Beauty is contained in contrast, in flow and stillness, in the golden rule, beauty cannot be defined, you can only feel the aesthetic of the model may be sick, but the sickness is also beautiful. The design of [rhyme] is very beautiful, just as beautiful as her designer, naturally revealing the stubbornness of clenching teeth, it is dark, but in the darkness there is a dark burning vitality, until the end of the eruption of thin, burning. You don't have to wonder if its designer is Qiao Yun herself, look at her expression when she explains, look at her masterpiece, all doubts will quietly fade, this is indeed Qiao Yun's own design.
"-Miss Qiao, your design prowess is indeed extraordinary," when Qiao Yun's explanation came to an end, she said sincerely, "I originally planned to go to Milan after Mr. Qi's show - I bought all the tickets-"
"You can reschedule, and we pay the rescheduling fee. Qiao Yun said anxiously, and inadvertently revealed a little naivety, which amused Du Wenwen.
"Don't worry," she said, "it's not a lot of money—but when David showed me your picture book and told me about you, I was a little shaken......
Qiao Yun immediately looked forward to it, and made no secret of her expectations for the future: she really wanted to join her show.
All the sincerity is touching, especially when Du Wenwen really likes her designs. Her fingers slid over the silky skirt: she hadn't worn the six blue-blooded haute couture yet, and she didn't know how she would feel about those gorgeous costumes, and what would happen to Qiao Yun's design when she came back, but at this moment, she really wanted to wear this seductive dress, and she had never seen such a skirt that appealed to her in China-
Wait a minute, after asking the question first, she told herself that putting it on now will shake your judgment-
"And, I have to say, the appearance fee is also very sincere. She said calmly, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "500,000 yuan, you really think highly of me - Miss Qiao, I take the liberty of asking, what is your budget for this fashion show?"
This is a very understandable question, for the fashion show, the budget is almost as important as the clothing, and if there is no good booth and lighting for good clothes, it will look like a tragedy - why does she have to do Taobao? Why do she want to tear up with people like Sister Zhang? Just to answer with confidence at this moment-
"Five million. ”
Qiao Yun said that she laughed happily and enjoyed Du Wenwen's surprise for a moment: Five million shows? In China, clothing is basically a low-profit industry, and five million shows, except for those brands that are backed by large groups with deep pockets, who can take them? At least no one will be able to have such a skill in designer brands. "Wenwen, you don't have to worry, although it is a new brand, our fashion show will definitely be very advanced, worthy of my costume - take out the show photos of [Rhyme], it will not embarrass you, it will only add glory to your resume. ”
This must be Du Wenwen's main worry, the new brand, maybe the design quality is unstable, maybe the fashion show is good, she is about to interview L, if she is swiped due to a disaster show photo when considering, 500,000 yuan will not outweigh the loss. But Qiao Yun is confident that her clothes and budget are enough to conquer her, she has money and aesthetics, what show is not good?
"Who is the director of this show?" Sure enough, Du Wenwen's brows gradually expanded, and her hesitation seemed to have weakened significantly.
Qiao Yun said a few names and explained, "My teacher is Professor Gu Jie, and the fashion show teams are all old relationships, they have been contacted, and the contracts have been signed." ”
Indeed, the show director, lighting, and booth are all well-known hard ties in the industry, so far, all of Du Wenwen's doubts should be satisfied, Qiao Yun thought to herself that this matter had become nine points, she stopped talking, leaving her room to think.
Du Wenwen thought about it sideways - in the end, she was born as a model, and this pose is a hard photo - it can be seen that her ideological struggle is also very fierce, and her eyes are a little more misty because of this. Qiao Yun looked at her appreciatively, and had already drawn all kinds of pictures on the fashion show in her mind, which skirt should Du Wenwen wear? Give both of them to her? Do you have time to change clothes?How to give the lights when you appear......
She was carried away by the art, and only after a few seconds did she realize that something was wrong: all her doubts had been perfectly answered, and she was still wondering about something.
"Well......" Sure enough, when Du Wenwen spoke again a moment later, what he said was not Qiao Yun's long-awaited promise, "Although it's a bit strange to ask like this, but I'm also presumptuous - Miss Qiao, I know that [Yun] has begun to enter the market now, and it has caused a small sensation in Shanghai Fashion Week, I want to ask ......"
This question is really not something that ordinary models will care about and can care about, but Du Wenwen still asked.
"——[Rhyme] How was the market performance last quarter?
Not to mention that this involves trade secrets - does this have anything to do with whether she can leave this show or not? Qiao Yun couldn't help but fall into deep doubts, she observed Du Wenwen for a moment, and the other party smiled apologetically at her, her posture was very tactful, but also firm.
If you don't answer this question, you can't do it, and there's nothing to hide from people, it's just that Du Wenwen's motives are confusing, Qiao Yun thought for a while, and said briskly, "It's only November, and all the models are still in the production stage, and there are only a few single items on the market, and their market performance——" 166 Reading Network
