Chapter 288: She's My Female Companion Tonight
Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening local time in Paris after Lin Qingyuan had finished the necessary interview and social activities, he still couldn't take a shower and lie in bed to rest, because there was still a closing reception of Paris Fashion Week organized by Louis Vuitton waiting for him to attend.
So Lin Qingyuan returned directly to the hotel, there was nothing to worry about, and he directly started to put on makeup and dress.
Because before coming to Paris, his styling team had already designed the specific outfit for him tonight in advance, from the theme color of the ready-to-wear to the details such as rings and necklaces.
As the male artist with the highest commercial value in Asia at this stage, Lin Qingyuan is the focus of attention all over his body.
Those jewelry dealers and shoe dealers who saw business opportunities stared at Lin Qingyuan's private clothes every day, frantically bought the same frame items that Lin Qingyuan wore and stocked up, and then raised the price and then resold them, which often brought them two to three times the net profit, which was terrifying.
Those who open online stores on Taobao obviously also see business opportunities, and they have added a prefix called "Lin Qingyuan with the same style" to the name of their store's single product, as if this is the wealth code that can make them rich.
And because the price of the fake is much lower than the original, the sales are often very good...
Although this kind of behavior of using his fame to roll up money made Lin Qingyuan a little unhappy, it did provide him with a new way of making money.
That is to imitate many predecessors in the entertainment industry, create his personal trend brand, and bring goods to himself.
Of course, the matter of personal fashion brands has to be taken care of by a special person, after all, Lin Qingyuan does not understand this aspect of things, so it is just a preliminary idea for the time being.
"I suggest that if you really have this idea, then hurry up and start forming as soon as possible." Yan Jun said to Lin Qingyuan in the car.
"Is it urgent to start a personal fashion brand?" Lin Qingyuan didn't quite understand why Yan Jun asked him to start quickly.
"I'm not in a hurry, but Kiwi has a show that focuses on pop culture that is expected to start recording in November this year, and they sent us an invitation." Yan Jun continued: "So, if you develop fast enough, you may be able to promote your personal fashion brand through this show, killing two birds with one stone." ”
"Kiwi? What program? ”
"Trend Partner."
"Do they have a list of guests to be invited?" Lin Qingyuan regarded this show as a purely commercial announcement, so if the coffee seats of other resident guests were not enough, then he would most likely choose to refuse, because he didn't want to stupidly run over to be a blood bank to suck their blood.
"You and Di Lieba are the main coffee, and Pan Weibo, who has hip-hop, is the deputy coffee, as for the other two candidates, it has not yet been finalized, of course, this list of proposed invitations is not the final lineup, because you are the first person they invited, and the others have not yet sent out invitations."
"You are responsible for the trend and traffic, Di Lieba is responsible for the traffic, Pan Weibo is responsible for the variety show, and it doesn't matter who the other two are, because the most basic creative team of the show has been established, as long as the content itself does not pull the crotch, then the broadcast performance cannot be bad."
"How much are they willing to give us?"
"The maximum salary under the salary limit order is 10 million, and the fourtry turnover dividend is five percent."
I have to say that the salary limit order is still too reluctant.
A few years ago, an artist like Lin Qingyuan had to take at least 120 million to get a variety show.
And now?
The maximum salary of the variety show season is 10 million, even if it can be compensated implicitly through other aspects, it is still far from the previous nine-figure price.
"Fourtry is a brand?"
"An emerging national fashion brand." Seeing Lin Qingyuan frowning slightly, Yan Jun then added: "It can even be said that this program, which costs more than 100 million yuan, was made to drain fourtry." ”
According to statistics from relevant data departments, young people in China are expected to spend $35 billion to $38 billion on trendy brands this year.
With an unsaturated market of 200 billion yuan, it is really difficult not to attract emerging capital to enter the market to grab food.
So Fourtry came into being, and the establishment of Lin Qingyuan's personal trendy brand was more or less affected by this trend.
"Then so be it, Brother Jun, you can first convey to them our intention to accept the invitation, but the premise is that the final permanent lineup must not be worse than the existing proposed lineup." Of course, Lin Qingyuan would not have jumped into the kiwi chariot early like a fool.
"Well, I'll communicate with them later, and then by the way, I'll talk to them about your personal fashion brand in advance."
"Okay, then I'm sorry for you."
Lin Qingyuan leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes and began to rest, his current thoughts were very simple.
If his personal fashion brand can really catch up with this show, it will undoubtedly save him a lot of promotion costs.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't catch up, anyway, he has a lot of friends, so let them wear more clothes and take more photos and post them on Weibo can have a good advertising effect.
He has a no-cost advertising method.
............
The car stopped in front of the hotel, and there were already many guests in evening dresses mingling in the lobby.
Surrounded by a crowd of people, I walked into the lobby.
What caught Lin Qingyuan's eyes was the iconic logo of LV everywhere, the crystal pyramid made of goblets shining in his eyes, and the light pouring of exquisite and luxurious carpets and large crystal chandeliers made the whole environment particularly high-end.
The so-called cocktail party dinner is nothing more than a group of celebrities in gorgeous evening dresses, holding wine glasses and exchanging feelings and business.
Lin Qingyuan has experienced too much in the past two years on this occasion, but it is inconvenient to be absent from some of the more important drinking parties, so he simply stood alone in a relatively close place and tasted the wine silently, quietly waiting for the Vanity Fair to come to an end.
"Sito" is expected to be completed at the end of this month, and he has to go to the United States for a few days in the middle of this month to shoot magazines, and then there is a cooperation waiting for him to complete on the Universal, and then there will be a series of related work before and after the release of "Young You" around the 25th.
In this way, although this month's shooting task is not as heavy as that of "Under the Brocade" a few months ago, it is definitely not light.
And to set foot in the field of beauty and entertainment, which has not been involved before, is a very huge and difficult challenge for Lin Qingyuan's entire team.
It's hard to think about it now...
But after all, Lin Qingyuan is the most important partner of Louis Vuitton and the entire LVMH group, how can they really let one of the protagonists of tonight stand in the corner and drink sullen wine alone?
So it didn't take long for him to be brought back to the reception center by the LV high-level executives who heard the news, and instantly attracted a large number of curious or envious eyes.
At the same time, the crowd that was still toasting and talking gradually moved closer, and Lin Qingyuan naturally became the undisputed focus of this drinking party.
Although he doesn't really want to chat right now, this group of so-called celebrities in the fashion industry and pseudo-celebrities who want to break into the fashion industry are obviously eager to get to know this new upstart who has a double top of luxury.
Or in other words, they want to enter the mainstream European fashion industry through the channel contacts established by Lin Qingyuan, and get better fashion resources in this way.
So as soon as he was brought over, Lin Qingyuan had to be forced to start socializing again.
Either celebrities from the entertainment industry of various countries, or company executives and designers from the fashion industry.
Lin Qingyuan was wet with rain and dew, and basically chatted with everyone who came to talk to him.
But just when he finally got idle, he was going to go to the toilet to rest for a while under the pretext of going to the toilet...
He suddenly saw that Di Lieba, who should not have been here, also appeared at the drinking party, and was being accosted by a middle-aged white man.
So can the best friends of the brand also come?
Lin Qingyuan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, he didn't want to be nosy at first, but after seeing that Reba's expression was obviously unnatural now, he still walked over.
"Hello, sir, this young lady is my girlfriend tonight." Lin Qingyuan stood in front of Reba to help her block her gaze, and then smiled decently, and said in the non-standard French that he had made up for a while before.
"Have a nice night." Knowing that Lin Qingyuan was driving him away, this white man was not embarrassed, just shrugged his shoulders and turned around and left here.
Being able to appear at this cocktail party means that he is also engaged in related work in the fashion industry, so he still knows this handsome man who is almost not in the same dimension as the other people at this cocktail party.
Lin, the spokesperson of LVMH Group's double-top luxury group, which has risen at the speed of light in the global fashion industry this year, is the first Asian to appear on the French version of Vogue Gold Nine single cover and the Italian version of Vogue Silver Ten single cover.
How great these achievements are, the entire mainstream European fashion industry knows, and Lin Qingyuan, who achieved these achievements in less than two years, is undoubtedly the greatness of the new era, so he knows very well that he will never be able to provoke this Asian man.
"Did you just speak French?" Reba leaned in front of Lin Qingyuan and smiled sweetly.
She was very grateful that Lin Qingyuan could take the time to come over and help her get rid of the man who tried to strike up her away.
"Hmm."
Lin Qingyuan didn't think it was anything, so if Reba asked now, then he would probably only reply "It's just a convenient move".
"And what did you say to him?" Reba chased after Lin Qingyuan like a curious baby.
"I told him I had something to look for you." Lin Qingyuan's face was as usual.
"Really?" Reba winked at him playfully, obviously not believing Lin Qingyuan's words.
"Or is there a fake?"
"And what do you have to ask me about?"
Lin Qingyuan was silent for a moment.
"It's okay now."
It happened suddenly, and he didn't think of an excuse for the time being.
"Why are you okay for a while?" Reba covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Can't you forget it all of a sudden?" Lin Qingyuan tried to prevaricate the past.
"Can you forget this?"
"Haven't you ever been in such a situation where you suddenly forgot something?"
"From childhood to adulthood..."Reba thought for a moment and laughed, "It seems that a lot of things have happened hahaha!" ”
After chatting a few more words, Lin Qingyuan said goodbye to his old friend and returned to the reception center to continue the boring process of wine tasting and chatting in a loop.
And Reba stayed where he was, just watching Lin Qingyuan, who was standing in the center of the crowd from a distance, and his appearance and the people around him were completely different from the same dimension of painting style.
I saw him holding a goblet, and all the entertainment stars and fashion celebrities from all over the world gathered around him to flatter, eager to talk to him, but embarrassed to interrupt his conversation with others.
"It's like you know two words of French..."
She smiled.
