Chapter 708: Different Positions Mean Different Views
The Boeing plane did not go directly back to North America, but first went to Tokyo, where it picked up Charlize before flying on a route to Los Angeles.
"It's a very successful ad placement."
South African Diamond came here mainly to promote the new movie "The Queen Wears Prada", she sat opposite Ryan and unbuckled her seatbelt, "After the film was released in North America, CT's clothing, shoes and sunglasses sales soared, and we also received orders from many department stores. ”
"So the response to the film is not bad?" Ryan asked, following her words.
"It's okay...... Charlize stood up and stepped aside, kicking off his heels and replacing them with comfortable flats, "word-of-mouth is polarized, with those who say the film is bad thinking it's a commercial, and those who like it think it's the best fashion textbook and career guide." ”
As he spoke, Charlize walked over and sat directly on the sofa chair next to Ryan, "Fashion always makes people crazy. ”
"It's good for your career." Ryan is not in good spirits, his schedule in China is very busy these days, and now he inevitably feels a little tired when he is idle, "What about the box office of the film?" ”
"It exceeded $80 million in 10 days of release in North America."
Probably seeing something, Charlize leaned over and kissed the corner of Ryan's mouth, got up and turned to the back of the sofa chair, ten slender fingers on his forehead, and rubbed it gently, "Does this feel better?" ”
"Much better......"
Even if Charlize's approach is not professional, Ryan has this to say, "I have been socializing too much in China. You know, dear. When talking to those politicians, you have to be in good spirits, otherwise you will be sold by others. Maybe we're still counting the bills for them. ”
"I'm sure there aren't many people in this world who can sell you."
What kind of person his lover actually is, Charlize naturally knows, "Do you want to hear something interesting?" ”
"What's the funny thing?" Ryan turned his head, reached out and picked Charlize's chin, hooking the delicate and beautiful face in front of him, "You're so seductive, my dear. ”
After saying that, he kissed the two soft red lips.
Because the posture is awkward, the two only sucked on their respective lip flaps a few times. And they separated.
"When 'The Queen Wears Prada' premiered in New York." Charlize playfully pulled Ryan's light brown short and medium hair, and told the funny story she just mentioned, "All the media are waiting for Anna? Wintour came to make a big fuss about the premiere, and Anna did, wearing her trademark Prada, but she recognized our film, and the faces of the reporters who were waiting to see the excitement were simply wonderful. ”
Unbeknownst to most of the media, the two sides had already reached a tacit understanding in private.
"So, after the premiere of the movie. Anna raised the pie in the editorial office of Vogue. Charlize rubbed Ryan's forehead with two thumbs, "and announced that she was going to start writing an autobiography, and that she was a smart person." ”
"Such an opportunity to become famous and make money." Ryan grabbed one of Charlize's hands and gently bit down on his beautiful knuckles. "As long as it's not stupid, I'll definitely catch it."
"Alright, dear." Ryan took Charlize's hand. "I feel better."
"Actually, I don't agree with the interpretation of Anna or Miranda in the original book."
After turning around. Charlize sat next to Ryan again, "Fashion survives by being picky. Don't think of pickiness as the original sin of fashion. Successful people in the fashion industry, those designer magazine editors, are very picky about details, sometimes to the point of unbearable, but it's a professional requirement, it's their profession that requires them to do it. ”
Perhaps one of them himself, Charlize clearly has a different understanding, "Fashion is a very delicate and sensitive business, which is inseparable from the excellence of details, in other words, we often say - details determine success or failure!" This is the rule of survival for fashion, and those who work in fashion tend to bring this cutting-edge pursuit of career into their daily lives, and become demons in the eyes of their subordinates. ”
Sure enough, if you have a different position, you will have a different perspective on things.
Gently kneading Charlize's hand, Ryan couldn't help but laugh, "Honey, you seem to have some unique opinions. ”
"Do you want to hear it?" Charlize tilted his head to look at this side, and Ryan pinched her nose, "Of course, I will be the best listener." ”
"Well, I'm not a director, I'm not a film critic." Charlize simply sat up straight and said seriously, "I'm just analyzing it from a fashion point of view. ”
Ryan made a cooperative 'please' gesture.
"I remember that you watched the test film, and you should remember that there was such a scene in the film."
Seeing Ryan nod, Charlize then said, "When Andy's colleague took out the two belts and said, they are very different. Andy smiled, she didn't think the two belts were any different. ”
"This is the typical layman! Although the color of these two belts is the same, but their belts are not the same, they have different matching senses, with the same dress will have different effects, and distinguish these differences, find out the best match, this is the subtlety of the details of fashion, designers care about these details, although in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference at all, but in the eyes of designers are completely different, this is the difference between professional vision and non-professional vision. ”
"For example, if you pick out that blue striped sweater, you think you have carefully chosen this dress according to your wishes............"
Charlize said a line from the film, "And this sky blue has generated millions of dollars in profits and countless job opportunities, and the incalculable ......amount of hard work has been paid for it."
"Don't you think this passage is a good portrayal of the fashion industry?"
Hearing Charlize's question, Ryan nodded in agreement, "Every industry has its own characteristics. ”
"How does fashion affect the world? How does fashion spread from its cutting-edge haute couture to everyone? How does the fashion industry affect the lives of ordinary people? ”
Faced with Charlize's serious and beautiful face, Ryan had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly, he was a real layman in this regard.
"Every quarter, designers discover new ideas, new ideas, and new colors, which are extracted from a lot of inspiration and materials, such as the sky blue worn in Andy's film, which is selected from nearly 100 blues on the color card, from dozens of similar colors."
Fortunately, Charlize also understood this, and said the answer directly, "Then the designer makes the clothes and promotes the color; If it is noticed by other designers, it will achieve a cutting-edge small area of popularity; Then, the media magazine will judge what might be popular among the countless press conferences every season, and then the blue color will be noticed by them. ”
Taking the teacup on the other side, Ryan handed it to Charlize, who took a big sip and continued, "The media will convey this blue message to the public, and these messages will spread quickly, and the major stores will quickly follow up, and this will become a trend." ”
"Can I have another drink, my dear?"
Hearing this, Ryan handed over his teacup again, and Charlize put the two teacups back on the table one after the other, "If this blue color is recognized by the public, it means that it has generated tens of millions of dollars or more in profits and countless job opportunities." ”
"Then among the popular things of the season, there are always some that will continue to deepen, and this blue will develop in depth after it becomes popular in fashion."
Everyone has a good side of being a teacher, Charlize seems to be popularizing the basics of fashion for Ryan, "For example, appearing on underwear and home accessories, and then becoming a popular color and fixing, becoming a part of daily life, wearing on every ordinary person, and you choose these colors in your life, never think of how it appears in front of you, and you don't think that they are all leftover products of fashion." ”
Therefore, no one should think that he has nothing to do with fashion, and every choice he makes is a product of fashion; And all his choices are actually based on the choices offered by others. Often, the choice of a designer or the editor-in-chief of a magazine determines what kind of clothing ordinary people can wear. ”
"It's complicated." Ryan muttered, "This line of work also requires a keen eye. ”
"Bingo ......" Charlize snapped his fingers, "picking out the popular things from a large number of works is a very keen tactile test, not beautiful things will be popular, popular things are fresh and characteristic things; But not all new and idiosyncratic things are going to be popular, it has to get the most attention in the world, and more than that, it has to be a strong desire to buy them. ”
"Honey, I think every piece of clothing you wear is beautiful." Ryan knows how to praise his women at the right time, "can be a fashion trend." ”
"Thank you!"
Charlize leaned over and kissed him, continuing the topic just now, "The fashion industry, like the film industry, is a fiercely competitive industry, and there is no room for more than one failure here, it's not a simple matter, Anna?" Wintour, or Miranda's success, is not based on being mean or ruthless, but on accurate judgment of fashion again and again. ”
"This fashion acumen, the vast majority of which cannot be learned or imitated, comes more from talent!"
There are some things that you definitely can't learn to learn, and Charlize obviously understands this, "I'm not as good as Anna in this regard?" Wintour. ”
"Charlie, you've done a great job."
Hearing Ryan's words of praise, Charlize reached out and hooked his neck, "That's because I have an advantage that she will never have." (To be continued......)
