If you haven't experienced more than 10 hours of flight time, then 8 hours is hard enough.

But for now, it's just okay.

Lin Qingyuan glanced at the time in the upper left corner of the phone and found that it had been automatically adjusted to the eastern time zone of the United States.

I landed at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's now early twelve.

That is to say, when Lin Qingyuan finishes the lunch provided by the crew, he will go to the toilet to take care of his image so that the media can produce pictures, and he will almost be able to land in New York.

got up to release the water, and when he passed by the assistant's seat, Lin Qingyuan asked casually, "Is anyone picking up the plane?" ”

"Huh? Boss, are you awake? The little assistant rubbed her eyes, and when she came back to her senses and realized what question Lin Qingyuan had asked just now, she immediately changed her face and showed excitement, "Boss, you have finally opened up!" It's long overdue, big stars have to have the pomp of big stars! ”

Lin Qingyuan pouted: "No, I mean if someone picks up the plane, then I'll touch up my makeup and take care of myself later, if there is no one, then just wear a mask and get in the car and leave, no need to delay time." ”

However, there is nothing wrong with what the little assistant said, at some point, Lin Qingyuan did act a little too low-key in order to avoid trouble and reduce uncertainty.

This is probably a good thing for him and his team, because it can reduce the workload, but for the capital companies behind him who have invested in him and the fans who quietly support him, such a performance will undoubtedly make their profits much lower.

Although Lin Qingyuan's current coffee position can be completely uncontrolled by others, and he can do whatever he wants as the rules allow, but this is a humane society after all.

Therefore, it is not impossible to be coerced appropriately, and it should be regarded as a reward for their courtesy.

"There are people, oh, like in London, it's mainly the Asian American student community that organizes their own support activities." The assistant shook her phone, she has accurate intelligence channels in New York, and she knows the operation of the local fan support club, so she naturally knows if anyone comes to pick up the plane.

"Okay." Lin Qingyuan took a sip of mineral water.

+1 for unnecessary work, a little distressed.

"Anyway, boss, you and Cheng Xiao were photographed by the BBC on the hot search in many countries this time, so what should I do if I am photographed again next time I am with other people?" The little assistant asked half curiously, half kindly.

"If it's a domestic media, then it depends on whether it can be bought out, and if it's a mainstream news media of the level of the BBC abroad." Lin Qingyuan shrugged his shoulders, and his tone was a little helpless: "Then you can only remain silent." ”

"The consequences of giving up all my girlfriend's fans are acceptable, but the consequences of being attacked with social morality, at least I can't afford it at this stage." Lin Qingyuan pulled out a smile, "It will probably take a while to hedge this negative impact well." ”

To put it bluntly, Lin Qingyuan is not deeply rooted enough in domestic entertainment or Chinese society, so when facing some emergencies, his confidence will be slightly insufficient.

Influence needs time to slowly accumulate and accumulate, and in another five or ten years, after Lin Qingyuan's current group of fans becomes the mainstay of society, his social status and influence will naturally rise with the tide, so remember not to rush.

Leaving everything to time is the best answer.

The assistant also knew that this topic was not suitable for talking about too much, so he started a new topic: "Does the boss know what news is the most concerned on the Internet now, except for you and Cheng Xiao?" ”

"What does it have to do with me again?" Lin Qingyuan had a bad premonition, and he felt that he might be rubbed off again.

"Yang Mi had her birthday yesterday, and more than a dozen artists in the circle sent birthday wishes, but the CP fans of the starry Song waited all day yesterday and didn't wait for your birthday wishes, so they started to talk about gossip today."

From 2018 to 2020, Lin Qingyuan sent birthday wishes to Yang Mi for three consecutive years, but this year it can be said that it suddenly broke off "without warning".

Combined with the rumors of top friends exposed by the gossip marketing account some time ago, many people think that they have discovered the truth of the matter, that is, the starry Song Song broke up.

Interestingly, the CP fans of the starry Song did not send birthday wishes to Yang Mi's birthday.

Although there are different opinions, if you look closely, you can find that most of the fans are actually standing on the side of Yang Mi.

After all, Yang Mi sent Lin Qingyuan a blessing in May this year, but Lin Qingyuan did not give Yang Mi now.

So this must be Lin Qingyuan's problem.

From "People who don't eat the stars are in trouble" to "They must have been together in private" to "My younger brother has entered a rebellious period and doesn't send birthday wishes to my sister".

Their understanding is so simple and pure, and it is precisely because of this that they are easy to be brainwashed and manipulated by marketing.

"What did they mainly discuss?"

"I'll pick up all the rumors about the two of you before, but I've seen that it's all conjectures."

"Heh, how could they possibly find evidence?" Lin Qingyuan chuckled, he and Yang Mi had hardly met in private, and the paparazzi naturally had no room to play.

"You'll only meet in a hotel room, won't you?" The little assistant glanced at Lin Qingyuan narrowly, and then said meaningfully: "But I found that the draft of this matter seems to be a bit much, and it doesn't feel like a natural heat." ”

"It's normal, after all, people are now in a critical period of transformation, and they need hot exposure to maintain the coffee position, and they happen to be single, and they are not afraid of scandals with the opposite sex, so the advantages of bundling marketing with this matter definitely outweigh the disadvantages." Lin Qingyuan shrugged his shoulders and didn't seem to care about it.

After all, the entertainment industry is like this, one second they are still friends, and the next second they may become enemies because of something, and it is difficult to meet friends who can really make friends.

But they can change their attitudes so quickly, and squeeze the last bit of value left in their relationship to bring visible benefits to themselves.

Should I say that he really deserves to be a beloved idol?

I taught him another good lesson through this.

Lin Qingyuan and his entourage landed at New York Newark International Airport at one p.m. on September 13, United States time.

Under the mutual send-off of the security personnel, Lin Qingyuan had a brief interaction with the fans who came to the airport to pick up and support for a few minutes, and then drove to the hotel to start the one-stop preparation process of "putting on makeup, fitting and taking pictures" before the party.

Half an hour's drive, Lin Qingyuan arrived at the Baroque landmark, The St. Regis New York.

The world-famous cocktail, the Bloody Mary, was invented in the King Cole Bar in this hotel.

And the famous movie "The Queen Wears Prada" was also filmed in this hotel.

Correspondingly, the price is relatively high.

However, Lin Qingyuan was not short of money, so naturally he did not have the opportunity to experience the racial discrimination of the people on the East Coast.

After checking in, the shooting officially began.

That's right, the organizers of the Met Gala sent a behind-the-scenes film crew to follow Lin Qingyuan throughout the whole process and record his every move before attending the Met Gala.

In fact, only 28 of the 400 invited guests at this year's Met Gala were eligible to shoot a promotional video for VOGUE around the world at the museum.

And only 10 people are qualified to shoot GRWM behind-the-scenes videos, and Lin Qingyuan participated in both, which is a testament to his popularity and influence in the global fashion industry.

"This is my first time participating in the Met, so from the moment I landed, I was already very excited and couldn't wait, and I don't know if it was a psychological factor, I felt like it was still a little hot today?"

"Wait, 87 degrees Fahrenheit?! It's going to be 30 degrees Celsius. I've just come from London, and it's only about 10 degrees during the day, so you know, it might take a while for me to get used to the warm weather and the passionate fans here in New York."

"That's right, LV, Bulgari, Piaget, and Lu Boting have all provided me with a lot of help and support, and they have been very good friends of mine over the years, so I'm sure there will be a good appearance tonight."

"It's almost two o'clock now, but I still haven't started styling, I hope I won't be late tonight, but I don't need to wear heavy dresses and nice accessories like those pretty ladies, otherwise I'm really worried I'm going to mess up my first Met in my life"

"Someone looking forward to meeting? Actually, I was talking to J Beep, Kendall, and Rose about two minutes ago on the way here, and BLACKPINK's Rose, I met her through the recording show, and they'll be coming to Met tonight, so I'm looking forward to meeting them tonight. ”

After saying a lot of polite words to the camera, the next fitting time involved the specific work content and Lin Qingyuan's personal privacy, so Lin Qingyuan's team had the right to ask the film crew to temporarily stop filming.

"This year's Met Gala is mainly jointly promoted and operated by Vogue and Vogue UK, and you happen to be the cover character of the October issue of Vogue UK, so you will get more shots and publicity resources."

"The costumes and accessories have also been delivered in advance, and LV Bulgari they are very interested in your appearance at the Met Gala this time, so the ones sent are the top costumes, and we will try to try them all out and try to choose the best visual effect."

"Then before the fitting, we made the renderings in advance, you can take a look at them first." Yan Jun took out a booklet from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Qingyuan.

Lin Qingyuan opened and read a few pages, which was nothing more than a pseudo-makeup photo composed of the first draft of the model and PS.

The first set is a very regular red carpet suit look.

The second set has a bit of a retro feeling, the visual impact is not strong, and it will not dominate, mainly highlighting the appearance.

The third set is angels? It's so holy. However, it feels a little exaggerated, and the full-body effect should look quite average, only suitable for shooting the upper body.

The fourth set is even more pompous, golden wings, is this the golden-winged Dapeng in COS Lion Camel Ridge? Lin Qingyuan felt that such clothes were only suitable for shooting magazines.

The fifth set took the route of a Greek beautiful boy, but Lin Qingyuan felt that he was a native of the East wearing this dress, and the effect should not be very suitable.

Then the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth sets

"How do I feel like I'm at a party in fancy dresses?"

Yan Jun raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the Met Gala just a group of people wearing strange costumes and playing cosplay?" Don't be surprised by what you see tonight, because it's a tradition they've passed down, and that's what fashion they see as fashion. ”

"Okay, let's try on clothes first, but I personally still don't like too flashy clothes, the few times I walked the catwalk for LV before was enough to be ashamed, and my sense of conviction was not enough to support me to wear these clothes calmly to go out and show others."

"You mean, don't consider those few sets of looks that are rare on weekdays but are easy to see and scary?" Yan Jun asked.

Lin Qingyuan nodded: "I still prefer normal clothes, I don't feel that I need to rely on these gimmicks of fancy clothes to drain myself, and it is better to be conservative for the first time at the Met Gala, so try the first and second sets first." ”

"Well, you're the boss after all!"

Lin Qingyuan seemed to see a trace of pity in Yan Jun's eyes, and he didn't know if it was his delusion.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Lin Qingyuan set off from the hotel at half past five in the afternoon and arrived at the venue where the Met Gala was held.

Under the command of the on-site security personnel, the business vehicle slowly stopped on the side of the road not far from the beginning of the red carpet.

"There are so many people out there! It feels like the road is about to get blocked." The little assistant looked at the crowded scene outside through the car window, and couldn't help but sigh.

"There are so many stars here tonight, they must all want to come and see the excitement." Lin Qingyuan also looked out the window, there were indeed a lot of onlookers on both sides of the road, and he even saw a lot of his own support.

"Also, this event is equivalent to the annual fashion festival held by those fashion magazines in China, and it is the most superlative." The assistant nodded excitedly.

"Fortunately, Met generally doesn't do anything to tear the finale, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a good show tonight."

Frankly speaking, Lin Qingyuan felt a little regretful, after all, it was really torn by the stars of the United States, and it was a pity that it was rare to come to the United States once but not see the live version.

"Emperor, are you ready? We can get out of the car now and go to the waiting area for a while, and then we can go on the red carpet one by one. "The staff following the car received instructions from the headset.

It is worth mentioning that he directly called Lin Qingyuan as the emperor in English, which made Lin Qingyuan a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.

After all, many artists have code names, at most, his nickname is a little bit awesome.

“Something in this liquor got me doing things that I don't do”

Lin Qingyuan took off the Bluetooth headset that was playing music, looked up at the window, and found that the passage that was still crowded had now been emptied.

This is obviously a clearance treatment that only big names can enjoy, just to prevent the styling from leaking out in advance.

"Why do I feel like the world has changed as soon as I take off my headphones?" Lin Qingyuan felt that he was respected and in a good mood, so he couldn't help but joke.

"After all, this is the Emperor's debut in Met, and of course it deserves all the preferential treatment." The staff laughed too.

"Hopefully this won't be my farewell show."

"You're really kidding man, Met isn't big enough to turn down a star of your calibre"

In the eyes of this white man, Lin Qingyuan is a super handsome guy who can make people call him amazing.

He doesn't think about so many political factors that have nothing to do with ordinary people's lives, the only thing he knows is:

Lin Qingyuan, a young Asian American, has an image and temperament that is praised by white Europeans and Americans, and he is very well-known and influential in the fashion industry, and he is an existence that their group of migrant workers need to take seriously.

And that's enough.
