Chapter 719: International Design Alliance
Hearing this, Ruan Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mecha" is the movie she invested in in order to lure Sun Yongpin. In order not to offend the Sun family, the producer rejected Ruan's investment, which is not a big deal, after all, everyone is based on interests.
It's just that after refusing, he turned his head to smear another movie invested by Ruan, which is a bit inauthentic.
However, after careful analysis, both movies are science fiction themes, "Mecha" only got an investment of 50 million, but Ruan Shi invested 1 billion in "Journey to Earth", which made the producer of "Mecha" not be jealous.
On the other hand, although "Mecha" enabled the top-notch Xiaosheng Xiaohua, the filming did not go well. The actors on the set are intrigued, this one is deliberately late today, and the one who buys the draft tomorrow stubbornly shifts the attention of netizens from the movie to the artist.
"Journey to the Earth" has never been reported to be in discord with the actors, and some group actors participated in the filming of two movies at the same time, although the details of the crew could not be revealed, but people learned in just a few words that the filming of "Journey to Earth" went smoothly and could even be completed in advance.
The circle is very superstitious, and most people believe that actors and dramas are harmonious. The filming of "Journey to Earth" was so peaceful, does it imply that it also did well at the box office after its release?
The producer and director of "Mecha" were in a hurry, even though the two movies were not released at the same time, they were still ruthless and bought black drafts.
"With this money, how good it is to polish the special effects." Diana sighed, not understanding why some movies would rather spend a high price to hire a top performer with no acting skills, and would rather buy a large amount of money, but still unwilling to work the movie itself.
"Leave it alone, let them say go." Ruan Yu's expression was indifferent, and she was not affected by the negative comments on the Internet in the slightest.
This is not a bad movie, it is not her who has the final say, and it is not something that netizens can predict. When the movie is actually released, everything will have an answer.
Moreover, the original purpose of investing in "Journey to Earth" was to promote the "futuristic" clothing. Now that the goal has been achieved, and more than half of the billion has been earned, even if the movie is a bad movie, it won't affect her anything.
Diana also thought of this, and no longer mentioned the matter of the movie, but instead reported on the progress of the costume catwalk.
This time, the catwalk was still held in the national studio, and the sponsors were not only Chinese enterprises, but also many international enterprises. The applicants have also changed from the former all-Chinese to designers from various countries. The prizes were even more attractive than the previous one, and the judges added several design masters.
It's just that what Diana wants to talk about today is another thing about the catwalk.
"The International Design Alliance sent me an email and wanted the catwalk to be held in country M, and they would provide the venue."
Ruan Yu had heard of this alliance, which was co-founded by some famous designers, and gradually took shape to become the world's largest design organization. The organization includes not only clothing design, but also jewelry design, architectural design, etc.
The email proposed that the catwalk be held at the headquarters of country M, in order to make it an international catwalk.
However, Ruan Yu refused.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Design Alliance has made statements that discriminate against China."
Back then, the alliance account posted a design drawing on the Internet, with a short and thin man on his clothes, with money and beautiful women pressed on his shoulders, and a string of English written on his back - the sick man of East Asia.
This is no longer in connotation, but a blatant insult.
The Chinese people were very angry and rushed to demand that the alliance delete the design drawings and make the designers apologize. However, the alliance account ignored it, not only liking the designer's other updates, but also pinning the design to the top.
Then, China set off a "wave of boycott".
Netizens listed the names of each designer of the International Design Alliance, wrote the brands they founded one by one, and said that if they did not apologize, they would not buy it.
The purchasing power of the Chinese masses is very strong, and their boycott has caused designers to lose a large part of the market.
This went on for three months, and the International Design Union was embarrassed to remove the pin, but still did not apologize. Many designers couldn't bear the pressure and issued articles indicating that they had withdrawn from the International Design Alliance, and expressed their love and respect for Huaguo.
In the following month, hundreds of designers withdrew from the organization, and the design alliance suffered huge losses, and finally bowed its head and apologized under the double pressure of interests and scolding.
However, the belated apology could not extinguish the anger of the Chinese masses, and until now, everyone has consciously and invariably boycotted the brand of the alliance designers.
"I remember too, so I've already definitively refused." Diana also looked resentful and said angrily, "This kind of organization is not worthy of the word 'design' at all." ”
Design knows no borders, no discrimination, and even no regard for profit.
The alliance first excluded Huaguo, and then humiliated Huaguo in a blatant manner, and finally found that it could not lose Huaguo's market, so it apologized unwillingly.
I thought it would be good to refuse, but the next day, the news came that Ruan was about to join the International Designer Alliance and handed over the Chinese costume catwalk to the alliance.
Suddenly, there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
"Did President Nguyen have water in his head? Have you forgotten the incident of breaking the alliance and humiliating China? ”
"I really lost my conscience in order to make money, and I even forgot my roots, if the news is true, I will boycott the Ruan family for the rest of my life!"
After seeing the rumors on the Internet, Diana was so angry that her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and angrily scolded the International Design Federation for being too insidious, and wanted to use this method to force Ruan to participate.
Just as she was about to screenshot the email to clarify the company, she received another message from the League of Nations.
This time, there are only a few short paragraphs, with a lofty attitude, describing how powerful the International Design Alliance is, and warning Nguyen that if he offends the alliance, there will be no designers participating in the catwalk.
When Ruan Yu saw this email, she didn't laugh angrily, clapped her hands with crooked eyebrows and said, "Great, this clarification material is good, Diana, take a screenshot of this letter and let the company's official blog send it." ”
This so-called alliance is really funny.
Self-righteously feeling that it could control anyone, it was impossible for Nguyen to refuse the request. However, Ruan Yu has never been afraid of offending people, especially this kind of organization with no bottom line and no conscience.
Before the rumors spread, Ruan's official blog clarified with screenshots of two emails, and said pitifully on the copy, "There is really no designer, are you going to participate in the catwalk?" ”
Song's official blog commented below, "I will always be your best audience", which made netizens shout sour, and they actually smelled love in the two accounts.
Other designers in Huaguo also left messages under the clarification message and posted their own registration forms. In order to support Ruan's, some netizens booked tickets for the catwalk, and those who couldn't get tickets went to Ruan's official website to buy clothes.
