Chapter 128 Propaganda

In the main living room on the second floor, although it was daytime, all the lights were turned on. Marita sat on a soft stool in the center of the hall, her hands resting naturally between her legs, her eyes not looking straight ahead, but at the right front.

Zhou Nan was not familiar with this princess, he knew this princess, and it was only because she was the prototype of the protagonist of Roman Holiday that Zhou Nan checked some of her information.

What impressed Zhou Nan the most was the photo of the court inlaid dress made by Dior that she wore on her nineteenth birthday, which was also her most charming photo.

So Zhou Nan also designed a dress for her according to the prototype of that photo. Now she asked to paint her, and Zhou Nan followed the photo and asked her to pose in the same pose.

Audrey stayed by her side for a while, talking to her, and Zhou Nan pretended to draw intently, not wanting to say a word to her.

Givenchy was the happiest one, he had been standing behind Zhou Nan, watching Zhou Nan paint, wanting to learn more painting skills from him.

Before the painting was finished, it was time for lunch. Naturally, Marita would not leave and stayed at the villa for lunch.

After Audrey took out the dress that Audrey had specially made for her, she was so happy that she immediately asked the female officer to go back and help her return the dress that originally belonged to Audrey.

Although Audrey's dress was novel, it was too plain, without any pattern or lace, and it seemed a little incompatible with her princess status.

She didn't particularly like that dress, but the first time she saw it, she had a feeling of amazement, so she changed it from Audrey.

Now that she has a more satisfying dress, she certainly doesn't care about that outfit.

And Audrey is also happy, because this dress is not only designed by Zhou Nan, but also her favorite. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of asking Givenchy to remake a more luxurious dress, just to get back this one.

After lunch and a short rest, Zhou Nan continued to paint, and finally finished painting before Marita got impatient.

This Dior-designed skirt tends to be between retro and popular, and is an early classic of Dior, with a luxurious style but a modern and popular line beauty.

Europe is ridiculous, a long time ago, they took pride in showing their boobs. Women can show their breasts, but not their arms and legs.

This skirt has such a style, exposing the front chest, but blocking the shoulders and arms, but it is not a traditional cut style, but a garland-like design at the shoulders, and a crossover bow style is designed at the chest.

Seeing the skirt that Zhou Nan designed for her, she stared at Zhou Nan in shock for a while before saying, "Mr. Zhou, your design is so perfect, I can't imagine that there is anything more suitable for me than this dress." Have you calculated how much it costs to make this dress? ”

"It depends on the material you want...... And I'm not a professional, so let Mr. Givenchy communicate with you. ”

Zhou Nan made a look at Givenchy and asked him to communicate directly with this somewhat rude princess. He was now more and more disgusted with the princess, who, though not the kind of bully, would never respect others.

Zhou Nan likes Audrey, of course he doesn't care about her beauty and charm, and he will only feel impatient with her delicate and domineering.

"Then this painting was given to me!"

"Of course, it was originally drawn for you. I beg your pardon for needing to wash my hands first and then continue with my book compilation. ”

She didn't realize Zhou Nan's reluctance at all, looked at her portrait and said happily: "You are free, it would be good to have Audrey with me." ”

In the bathroom of the bedroom, Zhou Nan smeared soap on his hands under Audrey's service, and his right hand was held between Audrey's hands and rubbed gently. "Honey, don't you like princesses?"

Zhou Nan nodded unabashedly. "I don't like her arrogance, and you have suffered a lot of grievances in front of her."

Audrey smiled slightly and shook her head slightly. "It's okay, we won't live in England for long anyway, and we won't have much interaction with her, so just put up with it."

With soap on her hands, Zhou Nan intertwined with her hands slightly. "But I don't want you to be wronged......

Her little hand was tightly held by Zhou Nan, she was moved by her advantage and funny. "Jonas, I've grown up and I'm no longer the little kid who doesn't understand anything. I already feel blessed...... As long as you are good to me, I will not care if other people are good to me or not. ”

At this time, Zhou Nan really felt that Audrey had grown up. The little girl who was originally full of pessimism and fear about the world has now bravely integrated into this society.

Back in the study, Zhou Nan calmed down and put his experience on it. At present, the whole book has been completed and the final proofreading is underway.

As an academic book, or a popular science book, this book uses countless data, and these data are also the most troublesome parts of the book.

The two volumes of the upper middle school, because of the long time and the lack of rigorous data statistics, Zhou Nan does not need to be too rigorous in checking.

However, the second volume mainly describes the development and changes of the world since the industrial age, and at this time, the slightest lack of data anywhere will affect the credibility of the book.

So the final proofreading needs to be very strict.

In many cases, because of one data, it is necessary to consult countless sources and compare different data before one of them can be used to be more realistic.

Just like the value of Britain's exports before World War II, different channels have different data access, and which data to use cannot be decided casually.

Several assistants compare these data every day, and finally summarize them here in Zhou Nan, and then determine which data to use.

In addition, two translation groups have been added to the manuscript, one in English and one in Spanish.

As the sales of the first and middle volumes are getting better and better, the publisher has a greater sense of expectation for Zhou Nan's next volume, and this time, it will be published in five languages at the same time.

In addition to negotiating with publishers about publishing, Etinny has been worrying about Zhou Nan's music records the most recently.

Originally, according to the original plan, in August, Zhou Nan's record should be on the market. But because Zhou Nan's arm was injured, before his injury recovered, the recording of the record could only be pushed backwards.

In fact, Zhou Nan's current injury no longer affects his playing, but for better results, it was decided to burn Zhou Nan's record before he left London.

Coming out of the study, Marita had already left, and because the weather was nice, Audrey set the dinner out in the back garden.

Melissa was alone in the garden authoring a butterfly, and when she saw Zhou Nan coming out, she immediately called Zhou Nan for help. "Jonas, there's a net pocket there, help me catch it......"

Without two front teeth, she doesn't avoid the wind when she speaks, Zhou Nan thought for a while before she understood what she was talking about.

Of course, Zhou Nan, who doesn't like killing, won't help her catch butterflies, so he deliberately bared his teeth and smiled at her. She groaned, threw away the small net bag in her hand, and covered her mouth with her hand.

Zhou Nan smiled and asked, "What about your father?" ”

Melissa pouted and said, "He's gone to socialize, and said he won't come back for dinner in the evening." ”

Zhou Nan shook his head, if it was really a social, he should tell himself. I didn't say it now, I'm afraid I'm going out to find a woman again. Having such an irresponsible father is really Melissa her misfortune.

Givenchy saw Zhou Nan and walked over with a smile. "Jonas, everything has been discussed with Princess Marita. But she asked for it to be made by the 20th, so I needed to find a few more sewing workers. ”

Today is the sixteenth, and Zhou Nan doesn't understand why she is so anxious. "Why is there such a hurry?"

Givenchy paused for a moment and asked, "Don't you know?" The 2nd is the princess's sixteenth birthday, and she wants to wear the costume we designed for him on her birthday. This is a great opportunity for us. ”

Zhou Nan really didn't know this, if he knew, he would have arranged this matter a few days earlier. This is a great opportunity to advertise his Hepburn brand!

British princesses are wearing Hepburn-branded evening dresses, and what could be better than this advertisement?

"Audrey...... Did the princess send you an invitation for his birthday? ”

Audrey came over with a scone and placed it on the small table. "Melissa, you watch here, don't let the little bugs fly onto our food. She told me that since she was not yet an adult, she couldn't celebrate her birthday and that there would be a small birthday party at Windsor Castle. Invitations will be sent up to three days in advance. ”

"You should have told me a few days ago that this was a good opportunity to promote our clothing brand, but this opportunity was wasted."

Givenchy smiled: "It's not a waste, whether it's the Dior brand, or the Balmain brand, or our main brand Hepburn brand, the current sales and production channels have not been perfected, even if the brand is launched, our supply can't keep up with the ......"

Zhou Nan smiled: "Don't you know the hunger and thirst effect? Only what you can't get is the best. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Hubert, you immediately contact Christine and Pierre, bring their finished clothes with them, and come to London." The day after Marita's birthday, we held a fashion show to promote our Hepburn brand. ”

Givenchy said with some embarrassment: "The two of them have been preparing for so long in order to build their own brand, just to promote the Hepburn brand, I'm afraid they will be unwilling." ”

Zhou Nan asked strangely: "Hepburn is the head office, and Dior and Balmain are promoted together as sub-brands, isn't that okay?" What's so hard about it? ”

This time it was Givenchy's turn to be surprised. "Can you still do this? …… I immediately sent them a telegram and asked Renian to do the work. ”

Even though Givenchy, who is only nineteen years old, has a genius design talent, but has never had business experience, and hearing such an arrangement has a sense of fantasy.

Before the establishment of large fashion companies, all brands were operated independently, and if Zhou Nan had not experienced the influence of later generations, he would not have known that the brand could still operate like this.
