Chapter 122: On the catwalk
A few days later, Jang Sung-won received a notice from Park Byung-yeol and went to the company. After Park Byungyeol's office, Park Byungyeol took out a richly decorated job invitation and put it on the table, saying, "Andre Kim's fashion show, are you interested in participating in it this time?" ”
Andre Kim, one of South Korea's top design masters, is still active in the fashion industry despite being a septuagenarian. His works are gorgeous, gorgeous, classical, rich in oriental charm, and have both European and American fashion elements, classic, avant-garde, and unassuming. His fashion shows place great emphasis on music, stage atmosphere and costumes, which are full of fantasy, and every time a couple of male and female stars pretend to be a couple put on a silent romantic drama. Watching his fashion show is like watching a fairytale stage play, which is really shocking and satisfying.
However, this is only the feeling when I have only seen his fashion show once or twice, and if I watch it too many times, I will feel a little bored, because his fashion show is very similar every time.
Not only do the styles, patterns, and colors of the costumes look similar every year, but even the unique love drama catwalk is almost the same, always a couple who love each other but want to break up, and the two are entangled in grief and pain. It's just a different star to perform.
Although many of South Korea's top popular stars are proud of Andre Kim's catwalk stage, there are also rumors that "only those who have stood on Andre Kim's stage can be considered a real star." ”
However, Zhang Chengyuan obviously didn't think so, he said: "If I am still asked to play a supporting role for other stars, I am not interested, if it is the main model, I will consider it." Last year, he turned down an invitation for Andre King to walk the catwalk, because he was not popular enough to be the finale model.
Park Byungyeol said: "This time I invited you to be the main model of the fashion show, will you go?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Have you ever inquired about who the female model you want to partner with me is?" ”
Park Byungyeol smiled: "I still don't know your habits? The standard is judged by appearance, but don't worry, this time you will definitely be satisfied with this female star who cooperates with you? ”
"Oh? Which one is it? Do I know each other? Zhang Chengyuan was a little curious.
"It's Ha Ji Won! You've worked together before, so you should be on a good relationship today, right? Park Byungyeol teased.
"Of course it's good, I'm like a brother and sister with her! I'll take this catwalk. As soon as he heard that it was Ha Ji Won, Zhang Chengyuan's mood immediately became happy, and he immediately accepted the catwalk invitation.
One afternoon half a month later, Zhang Chengyuan went to the scene of Andre King's fashion show half an hour in advance, preparing to meet Andre Kim and conduct a fashion show rehearsal. When he arrived, Ha Ji Won had already arrived, and he was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Chengyuan, and immediately waved him over.
Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly walked over and greeted: "Sister Hailin, it's been a long time!" I miss you so much! He hugged her softly.
Ha Ji Won is dressed very casually today, gray jeans with a dark shirt, looking neat and neat, and his hair is a little longer than the last time they met, and he looks more feminine.
And Zhang Chengyuan's dress has always been simple and clear, black trousers with a white shirt, but it still makes him look outstanding and masculine, but when he arrives in front of Ha Ji Won, he looks a little childish, and he is obviously a little attached when he holds Ha Ji Won.
Ha Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Chengyuan for a while and said, "Chengyuan, you are still the same, my sister seems to be getting older and older than you." Looking at Jang Sung-won's perennially baby-like smooth and delicate facial skin, almost all women will feel a lot of pressure.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Where is the old, Sister Hailin is still as youthful and energetic as before." Although filming is very hard, Ha Ji Won has always been well maintained, looking only twenty-three or four, but in fact, she is twenty-eight years old this year.
Ha Ji Won said: "I didn't expect that we could cooperate this time, and I feel very good to see you." ”
Zhang Chengyuan also said happily: "In addition to today, I think we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet Mr. Andre Kim!" Ha Ji Won took Jang Sung-won's hand and walked towards Andre Kim's location.
"Sister Hailin, do you know this Andre King?"
"When I participated in a show last year, I gave him flowers, I had a very happy chat with him, and he also gave me a small gift, and I also chatted with him a few words just now, I didn't think he still remembered me, but he was too focused at work and didn't have time to talk to me more."
When Jang Sung-won saw Andre Kim, he found that he was still wearing the famous white "space suit" that was famous all over the country, with heavy foundation on his face, black eyeliner, and paint all over his head to modify the little hair he had left...... These are his signature outfits.
His outfit seems to have not changed for more than ten years, which is impressive and unforgettable, even if you haven't seen him for a long time, you can definitely easily recognize him when you see him the second time.
The two walked up to Andre Kim, bowed, and shouted, "Mr. Kim! ”
Andrei Kim said: "It's Jiwon!" Uh, this should be Mr. Zhang Chengyuan? After carefully studying Zhang Chengyuan's appearance, he nodded from time to time.
Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly said humbly: "Don't dare to be, Mr. Jin, you can call me Chengyuan directly." ”
Andre King: "You go and familiarize yourself with the venue and costumes first, and when everyone is here, I will explain to you what to pay attention to." Beckoned a staff member and asked him to take Ha Ji Won and Zhang Chengyuan to visit, and he carefully observed the situation at the scene, it seems that this old man is not the kind of person who talks nonsense at work, Zhang Chengyuan suddenly had a little respect.
Jang Sung-won and Ha Ji-won walked around with the staff, and went to the backstage costume room to look at the clothes to be worn on the catwalk for a while, these costumes are all tailor-made by the designer for the models, almost all of them are handmade, exquisite and extraordinary, and they are very valuable, and it can be said that the value of each piece is much higher than the famous brands that Zhang Chengyuan has worn before.
It didn't take long for Andre Kim to send someone to call him back, because all the stars and models had arrived, and he was going to have a meeting to arrange the work arrangements.
All the relevant personnel gathered in the center of the venue, Zhang Chengyuan took a look, and found that in addition to him, there were four second-tier male stars who were familiar to him but couldn't be named, and they looked quite good, and there was only one female star, Ha Ji Won. The rest are all professional models, all tall, beautiful, first-class postures, especially the quality of the ten Western beauty models is quite high, it seems that the models used in the Andre King fashion show are indeed the top models in the industry as Zhang Chengyuan has heard.
Andre Kim didn't say much, but after about ten minutes of concise speech, Andre Kim asked the makeup artists to take all the models involved in the catwalk to make up, and then it would be the first rehearsal.
In the dressing room, because the male model doesn't need to wear much makeup, and Zhang Chengyuan's face skin is basically perfect without modification, so Zhang Chengyuan finished putting on makeup early, and after quickly trying on all the clothes, he ran to Ha Jiyuan's side, watched her put on makeup and chatted with her, and sometimes curiously touched the jade on her hair.
Compared with Jang Sung-won's ease, Ha Ji Won's makeup is much more complicated, in addition to the face to be finely made-up, the hair should also be combed into an oriental classical bun style, and then decorated with many gorgeous jade and beads, although it looks noble and elegant, but it is quite troublesome to operate.
After a while, Ha Ji Won was annoyed by Zhang Chengyuan's action of stroking her hair, and said angrily: "When a woman puts on makeup, a man should stay away, don't you know what to do?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "A good-looking woman wouldn't say that." Sister Hailin, you are so beautiful, you don't need me to leave. ”
Ha Ji Won looked at Jang Sung-won's face that had barely put on makeup, and said enviously: "You can be relaxed, my neck is almost sore, I am still wearing makeup for so long for the first time, and I haven't been wearing makeup for so long or so tired when I was filming "Tea Mother". "Actually, it's not that serious, but when I saw Zhang Chengyuan so relaxed, I couldn't help but complain to him.
After about another hour or so, all the models had finished their makeup and tried on the costumes assigned to them, Andre King ordered the first rehearsal to begin, and all the models came out in full gear and stood on the catwalk waiting for him to give orders. Since Andre Kim demanded that all the details of the rehearsal be like the real show, the models had to wear full costumes, makeup, and dedicate themselves to the performance even during the rehearsal. Therefore, the rehearsal is quite cumbersome and time-consuming, but the effect is good.
During the rehearsal, Andre Kim personally walked on stage to explain all the details to the models, including the order of appearances, the overall feeling of walking the runway, facial expressions and feelings, and so on. Moreover, he explained each model very patiently and carefully, especially Jang Sungwon and Ha Ji Won, who were the main show models, were the objects of his key insights, and he clearly and clearly explained the subtle mannerisms, movements, expressions and eyes of the two of them every time they cooperated.
After the explanation, he will ask the model to show him on the spot, if it does not meet the requirements, he will explain again, or even demonstrate it himself, and then do it again until he is satisfied.
After all the models knew what to do, they took a short break and started the second rehearsal, this time the models performed much better, after all, most of them are top models and professional actors, and they can understand everything. Of course, there are inevitably some flaws, such as the long heeled boots worn by Zhang Chengyuan, which made Master Jin very dissatisfied, because the heel was too high, Zhang Chengyuan was originally very tall, and then wearing these shoes, it made him and Ha Zhiyuan's height look very incommensurate, so the old man Jin asked Zhang Chengyuan to change a pair of boots with only two or three centimeters in heels, and after Zhang Chengyuan changed it, Ha Zhiyuan, who was wearing ten centimeters of high heels, was just high near Zhang Chengyuan's ears, and it looked obviously much more harmonious. Seeing this, Old Man Jin nodded with satisfaction.
After the second rehearsal, it was followed by the third and fourth ...... It wasn't until Andre Kim felt so satisfied that he announced his disbandment.
