Volume 1 A New Song and a Cup of Wine Chapter 279 Red Carpet Weapon
Hong Kong filmmakers and audiences have not yet recovered from the wave of terror set off by "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Midnight Bells", but Lam Youlun is preparing to leave Hong Kong and go to France to participate in the annual Cannes International Film Festival.
"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was shortlisted for the main competition of the "Palme d'Or" and became the opening film, which is the first time in more than 40 years that the Cannes Film Festival has used a film by a Chinese director as the opening film.
The news was transmitted back to the mainland, which caused a lot of shock, and the pressure imposed by social public opinion on this film and the starring Gong Li suddenly became much less, but the film's in-depth criticism of human nature and part of the emotion. The presence of color lenses makes wide. The telecommunications department has been hesitant to allow the film to be released in China.
Of course, none of this has much to do with Gong Li, who is in Hong Kong, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" did not expect to be released in China from the beginning, but the news from France made her excited. This time, Gong Li had great hopes of competing for the Best Actress award at the film festival, but what to wear at the film festival made her difficult.
In the past two days, Li Zhi accompanied Gong Li to visit all the dress stores in Hong Kong, Gong Li's figure is very in line with the golden ratio of international standards, and at the same time in line with the aesthetics of Eastern and Western people, so it is very beautiful to wear any clothes, but this time I went to Cannes and wanted to be in
To stand out from a large group of Western stars, you have to put a lot of effort into your attire.
Returning from the dress shop, Lizhi refused to get up again as soon as her body touched the sofa.
"After visiting so many stores, have you figured out which dress you want to order?"
Gong Li sat down with two cups of brewed coffee, handed one of them to Lizhi, and tried on clothes for a day, Gong Li's expression looked a little tired, but there was more distress between her eyebrows.
"There are so many clothes, it's so hard to choose!"
"If you want to ask a costume designer to customize it, you have to make a decision early, otherwise you won't be able to make it in time." Lizhi reminded.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang suddenly.
Li Zhi reached out and picked up the microphone, and after hearing that it was Lin Youlun's voice, she felt slightly surprised.
Lin Youlun and Li Zhi didn't talk on the phone for a long time, and after Li Zhi answered the phone, she urged Gong Li to change her shoes, saying that she was going to take her to a place, with a mysterious expression.
Gong Li was pulled out by Li Zhi in a daze, and took a car to a design studio called "Langguang Clothing" in Causeway Bay, and after identifying herself, it was Liang Langguang, the chief designer of the studio, who came forward to receive the two.
After some conversation, Li Zhi and Gong Li learned that this kind-looking old man is actually a master of Hong Kong cheongsam making, who has been in the industry for 50 years, and has produced dozens of sets of cheongsam for many movies, and has become attached to many first-line actresses.
Liang Langguang has been making cheongsams all his life, and he has taken photos of all the proud works he has made for movies into a collection. As soon as Lizhi and Gong Li came, he took out the booklet, put it on the workbench, and chatted about the past while flipping through it.
Gong Li's eyes were attracted by the beautiful cheongsam shapes, and when she turned to the last page, she was surprised to find that the cheongsam she wore in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was also on the list.
Liang Langguang explained with a smile: "Actually, Miss Gong and I should be old acquaintances, Ah Fu of the costume group of the crew is an apprentice in my studio, and this cheongsam was designed by Ah Fu after he measured the size of Miss Gong." ”
Interestingly, comparing the photos in the booklet, and then looking at Gong Li herself, Master Liang's face was confused, and he muttered a few words softly: "You are really thin, I can't imagine that you will look fat in the movie, in fact, you are not really fat, I don't understand this." ”
"Master Liang has redesigned a cheongsam for you, hurry up and put it on and try it on." Li Zhi encouraged Gong Li to say.
Liang Langguang hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "The cheongsam design this time is all Mr. Lin's idea, and I am just responsible for making Mr. Lin's idea...... This time, a total of two cheongsams were designed, and Mr. Lin specially ordered, one of which was specially customized for Miss Li. ”
Lin Youlun didn't tell Li Zhi about it on the phone, so when Li Zhi learned that she also had a share, the expression of surprise was written directly on her face.
"Today is just the first time to try on clothes, according to our jargon called tailoring, the cheongsam must fit, so you must wear the cheongsam when you measure, it is accurate enough."
When tailoring, both Gong Li and Li Zhi need to wear a cheongsam, and the clothes are naturally provided by Liang Langguang.
Coming out of the fitting room, the expressions on the faces of the two women looked very excited, Gong Li was excited because she had found a suitable dress for the Cannes Film Festival, and Li Zhi was excited about the gift that Lin Youlun gave her.
Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Comin, and Wang Guxian all wore dresses designed by Lin Youlun personally, and the same woman who was next to Lin Youlun, of course there would be some imbalance in Lizhi's heart, and it seemed that Lin Youlun was also aware of this, so he thought about making up for her this time.
The cheongsam customized in Liang Langguang's studio has to go through three trials: the first time is tailor-made; The second time is when the clothes are not finished, you have to try them on; The third time is really done.
The whole production took about a week, and the last time I tried it out, it was Lin Youlun who came with the two daughters.
Lin Youlun gave Li Zhi an evening cheongsam, the black color is very suitable for Li Zhi, which sets off the whiteness of her skin and makes her look perfect and mysterious; The translucent design shows her sexy side and fully reflects the advantages of her figure.
"Is it pretty?" The door of the fitting room was pushed open, revealing a tender white and blushing face, Li Zhi was dressed in a cheongsam, appeared by the door, her current appearance, she looked extraordinarily sexy and charming, the small waist that she held in a hand, and the high slit next to the cheongsam, a pair of white and slender **, and the faint white porcelain-like skin light, all gave people a very tempting. Confused feelings.
"Beautiful!" Lin Youlun clasped his hands, looked at Li Zhi seriously, nodded and said, "This cheongsam is very compatible with your temperament. ”
"Really?" Li Zhi put his hands on his waist, twisted his waist, showing his Chu Chu style, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Will this cheongsam be too transparent?" And the slit on the thigh side seems to be a bit high. ”
Seeing that Li Zhi was still a little worried, Lin Youlun suddenly walked up to her and patted her buttocks that wrapped the cheongsam tightly and protruded, "If you feel embarrassed to wear it, then you will only wear it in front of me from now on!" ”
"Just talk about things, you don't have a good line, so you're not afraid of being seen by others?" Li Zhijiao swayed in disgust, trying to shake off Lin Youlun's hand on her buttocks.
"Except for the three of us, no one else will come and bother you." Lin Youlun smiled, took advantage of the situation, grabbed Lizhi's thin waist, and kissed him.
Gong Li was trying on clothes next door, and she didn't know when Lu Dao would change out, Li Zhi didn't dare to make love with Lin Youlun at this time, and hurriedly bounced away from his arms.
The two talked outside for a while, and Gong Li finally pushed the door out of the fitting room next door.
Lin Youlun provided Gong Li with an improved evening cheongsam, a black velvet and wide bean green soft forging long cheongsam, hanging straight to the top of the feet, with a traditional Chinese small phoenix collar, through the design of the chest and the grasp of the fabric, so that Gong Li wore a unique style with both oriental femininity and Western women's unrestrained sense, Gong Li's figure is very hot, the tight cheongsam covers the body but can not cover her delicate figure, the towering chest, slender waist, round buttocks and a pair of white and raw hao. Milk is more eye-catching than ever.
When Gong Li came out, she directly blocked her chest with her hands, so as not to let the deep groove exposed by the crack design directly vibrate. is exposed in front of other people's eyes, but it is this feeling of wanting to hide and be ashamed that makes her more and more charming.
"What are you doing to cover it, anyway, you have to wear it out of the cane to meet people, let me see, what does our Gong Da beauty look like in a cheongsam?"
Li Zhi walked over and pulled away Gong Li's hand blocking his chest. The naked avant-garde design, even Lizhi was slightly stunned, not to mention Lin Youlun, who was looking straight at him from the side.
"That's a cheap bastard." Li Zhi quenched lightly, and hurriedly let go of Gong Li's hand, allowing her to cover her chest again.
Lin Youlun took his eyes away from Gong Li's tightly covered chest, coughed, and said to Gong Li: "The French are much more open-minded than here, you may feel a little unable to wear this cheongsam in Hong Kong, but when you go to Cannes and see those foreign female stars dressing, you won't feel embarrassed." ”
To paraphrase a very popular sentence on the Internet in later generations, there will be fire if there is a ditch, not to mention a woman like Gong Li, who has a very material figure, Lin Youlun wants to make Gong Li an international movie star, and this Cannes Film Festival is a good opportunity to make an appearance.
The cheongsam is the most symbolic garment of the Orient, with a silk texture that suggests the smooth and smooth skin of the Oriental woman, and the tight-fitting cut highlights the smooth and beautiful body lines of the Oriental woman, which has long been a weapon for Chinese actresses to compete on the red carpet of overseas film festivals.
In later generations, Gong Li became famous in the international film industry with "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", and won the Venice Film Festival in one fell swoop.
And add this crisp to the cheongsam. The design of the chest is half exposed, Lin Youlun is also inspired by a certain dress of Gong Li in the later generations, in the 21st century, such a design can attract the amazement of the audience, not to mention the 80s of the 20th century, Lin Youlun is almost certain that as long as Gong Li wears this cheongsam in Cannes, she will definitely become the focus of the entire film festival.
But how to convince Gong Li is a difficult thing for Lin Youlun.
