Chapter 163: Looking back, the autumn is already thick
Seeing that I was so unenlightened, Master helped me inquire, and it turned out that although this competition is held every three years, the investors are different each time.
It is said that this year's investor is the owner of an Internet company, he has a beautiful wife, and he is also a famous jewelry designer in the industry, so he gave birth to a big fat boy, and the boss came forward to invest, and her beautiful wife is also one of the judges this time.
However, this information is of no use to me at all!
So Teng Yichen finally released me from the little dark room, he grabbed my shoulders and said to me very seriously: "Xiaowan, I can provide you with countless samples, but those are soulless things, I mean, these things may have a soul in me, because they are blended with my memory, but they are empty to you, you need to think about it, don't you have no unforgettable memory?" Or is it the kind of image that lingers? ”
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
I stared at Teng Yichen for three seconds, then suddenly picked up my sketchpad and pen and left Shanghai overnight!
Fuji Yichen was very anxious about my sudden departure from home, calling me phone after phone, and later I told him that I was looking for inspiration
I went to the Gesang flower sea back then, walking alone among the flowers, my ears seemed to be haunting my laughter, I still remember that Li Zhao kept taking pictures of me, and chose a very ugly screensaver, I tried to lift the skirt, running like back then, the breeze blew away the long hair, it turned out that the hair can be longer again, but it is difficult for people to be perfect.
I completed the design draft in three days at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, by the Erhai Lake, and carefully brought it back to Shanghai.
Before leaving, I took one last look at the flower, and a tear flowed from my long-dried eyes, which were for little Gesang.
My final product is a very simple Gesang flower hairpin, the whole body is made of lilac, at first glance it looks fresh and elegant, not amazing, all my thoughts and efforts have been spent on the petals, each petal has been carefully designed, showing the joy and freedom of flying in the wind.
On the day of the competition, I was very nervous, and Fuji Yichen specially gave me a pure white dress, revealing my collarbone, and the end of the skirt was spliced into yarn, and he said that this dress matched my work very well.
I draped my half-long and neat black hair over my shoulders, stood in front of the mirror and took a look, I don't know how long it had been since I had dressed up like a person, and I said to Fuji Yichen behind me, "Do you look at me like this, like a female ghost?" ”
It was rare that he didn't tease me, and said with a smile: "Like a goddess!" ”
He himself was handsome that day, in a black suit, sitting in the audience, wearing a hat, very low-key, just like when I first met him.
When I introduced the design concept, I thought of what Li Zhao told me back then, Gesang flower, in Tibetan, means good time or happiness, so it is also called happiness flower, and Tibetans believe that as long as they find the eight-petal Gesang flower, they can obtain eternal happiness.
I think many things are providential, for example, I never found the eight-petal Gesang flower, but when I went to the sea of Gesang flowers again, I suddenly realized that we don't have to rely on the sky to find the eight-petal Gesang flower, as long as we have the heart, it will exist.
So this little lilac Gesang flower of mine has eight petals!
Compared to those dazzling works, my little Gesang flower was not selected, it is false to say that it is not lost, I actually feel a little sorry for Teng Yichen's devilish training for me, but when I came out of the competition scene, Teng Yichen said to me with bright eyes: "I have seen those works, in my heart, you are the first, they don't like it, they have a problem with their vision!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately moved, but Master still knows how to appreciate me!
To my surprise, the investor's wife took a fancy to my design and contacted me a week after the contest ended, saying that she thought of her baby for the first time she saw my work, so she paid special attention to me.
When I was designing the little Gesang flower, all I thought about was the happy connection between mother and child when I was pregnant with little Gesang, and she could feel it as a first-time mother, I was surprised!
It just so happened that their company was preparing to recruit a group of rookie designers, so they planned to use this competition to select a few excellent ones.
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't sleep for a few days, but she meant that a product was too simple, so could I come up with a series around the theme of Gesang flowers!
I went back and told Fuji Yichen, he was quite pleased: "For you as a rookie, you have the opportunity to become a designer under Son, you are really out of luck, I think back then, when I debuted, I had talked about cooperation with a design director of Son, and at that time people didn't bird me at all!" ”
I was very curious and said, "What happened later?" ”
"Then it was the international award that the product won, and I met him at the afterparty at that time, and he came to talk to me."
"And then you ignore him?"
Fuji Yichen glanced at me with the tail of his eye: "I gave him a middle finger!" ”
I laughed out loud!
Later, Fuji Yichen told me that SON's biggest advantage is that there are counters in top high-end shopping malls at home and abroad, and generally the works of in-house designers will have an internal contest every quarter, and the products on the campaign can be sold in the counter publicly.
If the sales volume is good, then not only can the most intuitive improvement in economic benefits, but more importantly, it can also emerge in the jewelry design industry.
I listened to it, which probably means that the channel of son is a platform that is relatively easy to get on the top in this industry, no wonder so many jewelry designers have come to son one after another!
With hope comes motivation, and in the days that followed, I suddenly went crazy, and I felt like I had spent my whole life in this series.
In the end, a total of three sets of ornaments with the theme of Gesang flowers were designed, each set of youthful, flamboyant, and introverted, just like life, always have to experience ignorance, vigorous, and finally calm.
In the internal campaign, I was unexpectedly recognized by my son's seniors as a newcomer.
Later, I learned that the investor's wife was called Qu Ling, and her English name was Caille, but I called her Sister Qu, she is a senior design director of Son, and she has also brought out many well-known rookie designers, she takes good care of me, and has privately asked me about the source of my design concept.
Without going into any further words, I told her that it came from an unborn little girl, and she looked at me for a long time and pondered, with a knowing expression, and didn't ask much.
Smart people know what to ask and what not to get to the bottom of it, and because of this, I have a good impression of Sister Qu!
The name of my Gesang flower series is felicitas, Latin means happiness, and the signature is the last word of my name - an.
When I was informed that this felicitas series would be sold in the domestic counter, I was so happy that I went crazy all night looking for Little Tail!
Infinite emotion in my life, after several ups and downs, I didn't expect that there would be a day when the sun rose in the east, fortunately I didn't jump from the balcony on the third floor, otherwise the world would be missing a great jewelry designer.
The little tail saw that I was so high-spirited and followed the silly music, saying that I am not famous yet, just there blindly, if I really mix up in the future, I don't know how to float!
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely leave you a 20% discount!" ”
The little tail strangled my neck: "See the money and open your eyes!" ”
But the world is so unpredictable, it was a sure thing, but it was all overturned overnight, the next morning I received a call from Sister Qu, she told me that my felicitas series may not be able to go to the counter, I asked her why, isn't it the company has been finalized?
She was a little embarrassed and said that it was not the company's reason, but she was beaten back by Saibai, which I really never expected.
Saibai is a well-known comprehensive shopping center positioned in high-end business in China, which is generally found in first- and second-tier cities across the country, and the brand control is very strict, usually internationally renowned first- and second-tier brands.
But I didn't expect that the product line would be controlled, this Nima is too perverted!
When I told Fuji Yichen, he also wondered, once the brand enters the mall, as long as it does not make publicity or decoration that is too inconsistent with the positioning, it stands to reason that the mall should not be stuck in this!
It may be that Sister Qu really likes this series, and it should have been me, but there was such a temporary change, which caused the apprentice of one of Sister Qu's competitors to be temporarily on top, which made Sister Qu very depressed.
After all, she has been in the circle for a long time, so after a little inquiry, I heard that my series was directly stuck-off by the general manager of Saibai!
I'll rub it! I asked Sister Qu who is the general manager of Saibai? I didn't peek at him taking a shower, why can't he get along with my little transparent?
Sister Qu told me that she is a very capable woman in her forties, named Jia Tong, and she has met this Mr. Jia a few times, saying that this person feels very unapproachable, and at first glance she is the kind of woman who is very powerful!
When Sister Qu told me these words, she was also asking me intentionally or unintentionally, I knew what she meant, and I wondered if I had offended this Mr. Jia before.
However, I swear, I have never dealt with this woman named Jia Tong in my life.
Sister Qu hung up the phone without saying anything, and about two days later, she suddenly asked me to get ready and go to Paris with her!
This news was quite sudden, Sister Qu said that she heard that Jia Tong would stay in Paris in the near future, and I heard that after the end of Fashion Week every year, there will be various forms of top social dinners and dances in Paris, and people from all over the world, fashion circles, and even many people will stay in that period of time.
I told Fuji Yichen about this, and asked him if he could think of a way to solve my passport and visa as soon as possible.
He said that Qu Ling is a woman with a strong sense of ambition, and she will do whatever she wants to do, no wonder she is only a few years older than me, but she has today's achievements!
I think I'm lucky to have met her, although she did it for herself, designers often reach a bottleneck, when the person who develops himself can maintain his fame and status as long as he produces results.
Soon, Sister Qu and I embarked on a flight to Paris.
Before leaving, Teng Yichen hugged Elvis Presley Jackson, and a group of cat boys sent me to the door, Sister Qu's car was parked not far away, the evening sun shone on us along the sky, Fuji Yichen said with complicated eyes: "Why do I have a feeling that my apprentice's wings have grown stiff and gone away and flew high?" ”
As soon as he said this, I suddenly became a little confused: "You think too much, even if I follow Sister Qu now, you are my master after all, and I will not betray my master!" ”
He sighed: "Go ahead, spread your wings and fly high, the outside world is very big, I brought you into the industry in the first place in the hope that you can get in touch with more things, that is, remember to come back often to see me as a master in the future." ”
I immediately stepped on him: "Sick, right?" I guess I'll be going for a week! ”
In the end, Teng Yichen kept chattering about the inappropriate style of life of most French men, and looked at the mother's on, don't be deceived by their fake romantic rhetoric
When I heard him say this, I wanted to beat him up, so I retorted: "If you are indecent, you will be indecent?" ”
Teng Yichen lowered his head and touched the Elvis Presley in his arms Jackson didn't speak, I seemed to suddenly react, how long has he not brought a woman back?
It seems that since Elvis Presley Jackson was sterilized by me, I have never seen him have a secret relationship with any woman, could it be that he is afraid that I will also have him sterilized?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tremble, and Teng Yichen raised his eyebrows: "What are you shaking?" ”
Then he took off his clothes and draped them over my shoulders: "It's cold at night, wear more, cold and fever medicine is placed in the luggage compartment, remember to take out the eye mask and U-shaped pillow before getting on the plane, don't be stupid and check it in with your luggage, don't eat and drink wildly when you just get there, take your time, otherwise you will be uncomfortable if you don't accept the water and soil, and"
Sister Qu honked the horn twice at me, and I said to Teng Yichen with a smile: "I know, I know, don't talk like my aunt all day long!" Take care of our kittens! ”
He showed his shallow dimples and nodded, I actually saw a trace of reluctance in his eyes, and I don't know if it was my delusion.
Finally, I gave him a big hug and said, "Master, the apprentices are on their way, and we are going to fight for the capital of Paris!" ”
Then pat him the back and let go of him waving his little hand!
When I turned around, Teng Yichen suddenly called me: "Xiaowan"
I looked back, "Huh? ”
"Nothing"
Yuanxi says: I have something to tell you, Brother Zhao called me in the evening, saying that he had temporarily decided to rush back tomorrow! Let Lao Yuan help him get his gear ready! But since I haven't seen everyone for a long time, I have to dress up tomorrow morning, so I will come later and try to be before noon. So, please leave a message "Welcome Brother Zhao's return" and keep in formation! Roar!
