Counterattack 1988

Chapter 847

February 1991, 2, the first day of the new year.

Wang Lin played with Li Wenxiu until two o'clock last night.

Although the two had quarreled, how can there be no quarrel between husband and wife?

Fight at the head of the bed and close at the end of the bed, and those who stay together after the quarrel are the real couple.

If there is a conflict that cannot be resolved with one love affair, then there will be a few more.

Wang Lin opened his eyes, but his wife was nowhere to be seen, but his son was soundly asleep.

On the bedside table were neatly stacked the new clothes he was going to wear today, which were sewn for him by Li Wenxiu years ago.

Li Wenxiu would make a new set of clothes for Wang Lin every Chinese New Year.

Wang Lin is now also used to wearing her clothes, which fit well, are comfortable, and have novel styles.

He turned over and kissed his son.

The little guy pouted unhappily.

Wang Lin read the weather forecast last night and said it would be sunny today, but the first thing he did after waking up was to open the window to check the weather.

The sky is beautiful and the sun is rising.

Li Wenxiu got up earlier than him, and had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

When Wang Lin came out of the wash, Li Wenxiu brought breakfast to the dining table.

"When did you wake up? I don't know." Wang Lin asked.

"I got up at [-]:[-]." Li Wenxiu was wearing an apron, tied her hair with a headband, and was busy making breakfast.

"Then you only slept for more than three hours?"

"Enough." Li Wenxiu smiled slightly, "Go and wake Wenjuan up and have breakfast."

Shencheng people eat rice cakes on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, because rice cakes are not only a very delicious food, but also imply that people will have a good omen every year, and they will be promoted every year.People eat rice cakes, hoping that they will be promoted every year and their jobs will become very good.

Wang Lin grabbed a piece of rice cake with his hands and put it in his mouth.

Sticky, sweet, and really, really good.

In addition, glutinous rice balls must be eaten for the first meal in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means that the New Year will be complete and complete, and there should be soup, which means wealth and power.Northerners are used to eating glutinous rice balls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they call them Yuanxiao.It can be seen that the focus is one at the beginning and the other at the end. The New Year customs in the north and the south are different.

In order to prepare the food for the Spring Festival, Li Wenxiu was preparing a week in advance, buying and preparing all kinds of food for the New Year.Grind flour to wrap glutinous rice balls, and knead flour to make homemade rice cakes.

In addition, cleaning, posting Spring Festival couplets, hanging banners, pasting window grilles, and so on, and so on.

Wang Lin only cared about the outside affairs, and ignored the family affairs, and left the housework to Li Wenxiu.

This woman, with her children, took care of so many tedious things during the Chinese New Year in an orderly manner.When Wang Lin came back, he only needed to open his mouth to eat.

Wang Lin held her hand: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Doing things for your own family, what's the hard work? Go and call Wenjuan! She doesn't want to sleep at night and can't get up in the morning! Such a big person is not sensible at all. What should I do when I get married? You must be disgusted by your in-laws!"

"No, Wenjuan is very sensible. Now that she has a sister like you in charge, she will be lazy. When she gets married, she will naturally become sensible."

"How can there be such a reason in the world? I am usually ignorant, but once I get married, I become sensible? Go and see those divorced people. Many of them are caused by women who are too lazy. I didn't say that. Sister Xia is also very lazy. She doesn't do housework. Zhou Porridge is also such a woman! Fortunately, you didn't marry her! Otherwise, this morning, you would have gotten up to make breakfast for her!"

"..."

Wang Lin walked into Li Wenjuan's room.

Li Wenjuan was lying on her side, sleeping soundly.

Wang Lin bent down and pinched her nose.

Li Wenjuan coughed and woke up. Seeing Wang Lin, she giggled and stretched her hands out of the bed, "Brother-in-law! Happy New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Such a big man still wants a red envelope?"

"Hey, brother-in-law, I'm not married yet, so I'm entitled to the red envelopes, okay?" Li Wenjuan got up abruptly.

She was in her pajamas, with mountains and hills.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a big red envelope later. Get up and have breakfast, we still have to go to Wanti gym."

"Oh!" Li Wenjuan stretched again, opening her small mouth and yawning big.

She stretched her hands high, and pulled up her pajamas, revealing a snow-white belly and a round navel, as lovely and charming as a full moon.

Wang Lin glanced at it and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Wenjuan suddenly jumped up, lay on his back, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law!"

"Huh?" Wang Lin patted her butt with his backhand, "Okay, stop playing!"

"Brother-in-law, tell me, how many orders can we take today?"

"It's good to be able to bill! Hurry up, we have to check the work!"

"it is good."

The breakfast was very rich, and it was not the leftovers from last night, it was all cooked by Li Wenxiu early this morning.

While eating, Wang Lin asked, "Wenxiu, do you want to see it?"

Li Wenxiu said: "I'd better stay at home? What if someone comes to pay New Year's greetings? There's no one at home."

"The whole company is working overtime, who will come to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Aside from Aixiu Company, no one else came to pay New Year's greetings?"

Wang Lin thought for a while and said, "That's fine, you can stay at home! If anyone comes, just tell them, I'm very busy these days, and I won't be free to pay my respects until after the eighth day of the lunar new year."

"I see. Tomorrow, the second day of junior high school, you must take time to accompany me back to my mother's house, even if it's just for dinner. You want to eat anyway?"

"I can't promise you now. I have to see the schedule."

"I've never seen such a busy boss like you!"

"..."

This year is a good day for the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the opening ceremony of Fashion Week. Wang Lin doesn't want to quarrel with others and affect his good mood.

He had breakfast and set off with Li Wenjuan.

At this time, his son Wang Wen was still sound asleep!

The opening ceremony is scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning.

After all, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although foreign businessmen do not celebrate the festival, domestic people have to have a reunion dinner in the morning.

So Wang Lin set the opening ceremony later.

There is still time for the staff to come and decorate the scene after breakfast.

The big stage for the catwalk show has been set up long ago, and Little Bailing Performing Arts Company has professional stage equipment.

The trade exhibition halls around the runway were also set up overnight.

Wang Lin and Li Wenjuan arrived at Wanti Hall at nine o'clock.

Zhou Boqiang, Deng Dabao and other vice presidents took their positions.

This Spring Festival, no one in Aishiu Group is on vacation!

Wang Lin called the vice presidents together and held a short meeting.

"The last inspection before the opening ceremony!" Wang Lin said in a deep voice, "Every link and every detail has been checked for me. Are all the models present?"

Li Wenjuan was in charge of this matter, but she had just arrived and hadn't had time to figure out the situation, so she said, "I'll go and find out."

Wang Lindao: "Sound engineer, lighting engineer, stylist, make-up artist, choreographer, prop artist, security, are these people here?"

Ma Hongcai was in charge of these chores, he had already arrived at the scene, and immediately replied: "Mr. Wang, everything is here."

After Wang Lin gave his orders one by one, he looked at the time and said, "After half an hour, no matter whether you are in place or not, you must report to me! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Great substitute!"

"Yes, Mr. Wang." Everyone agreed in unison and went to work.

Wang Lin said to Zhou Boqiang, "Have you arranged a car to pick up the foreign guests?"

"It's all arranged, and they will be picked up in batches." Zhou Boqiang said, "The first batch is almost here."

Wang Lin ordered the staff around him: "Play the festive music on the spot."

Zhou Boqiang said: "The biggest problem now is that the number of viewers will not be large enough."

Looking at the empty Ten Thousand Gymnasium, Wang Lin murmured: "We have arranged for thousands of employees, and they will arrive at the scene ahead of time. Even if it can be filled, they can still watch from the sidelines. In such a large gymnasium, even if there are no seats, it can still be filled. Pack a few thousand more people!"

Zhou Boqiang said with a smile: "That's right, a random squeeze in the gap is enough, and it looks so crowded!"

After a while, Li Wenjuan ran over and said to Wang Lin, "Brother-in-law, some models are asking for leave temporarily."

Wang Lin frowned: "I knew that this kind of thing would definitely happen! We have prepared a second echelon to be a substitute. You should immediately contact other substitute models and ask them to come to the rescue."

Li Wenjuan said: "I have already contacted you."

Wang Lin pondered: "We can form our own model team! In the future, we will need a large number of models for the two fashion weeks every year, and we will also need them at the Canton Fair. You can also use them for post-shooting photos and promotional albums."

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, this matter is easy to handle. After the fashion week is over, I will organize it!"

Wang Lin nodded: "You can give priority to finding models among our textile workers."

Li Wenjuan said with a smile: "Textile workers as models? Is this okay?"

Wang Lindao: "Don't underestimate the textile workers. Our first model team in Shanghai and the first professional model team in China are made up of our textile workers."

"Really?" Li Wenjuan didn't believe it, "Is it the wild team?"

Wang Lindao: "This happened ten years ago, Mr. Zhou, do you know?"

Zhou Boqiang laughed and said, "Of course I know."

Wang Lindao: "Mr. Zhou, please tell us about the history of the first professional model team in China!"

Zhou Boqiang recalled the past and said with emotion: "I also participated in this matter. Let me tell you about it!"

In 1980, when Shencheng Clothing Company formed a fashion show team, it did not recruit relevant talents from all walks of life across the country with great fanfare, but quietly selected more than a dozen subordinate textile workers in a small area. Beautiful young men and women.

However, for the word "model" which is commonly used in the West but never encountered by Chinese people, the leaders still have opinions. They feel that "model" is a foreign name, which is a bit vulgar, so they changed the name to "fashion show actor".

With this preliminary idea, the fashion show team began to select people, but what criteria should be used to select people?Now everyone knows that the requirements for selecting a model can be listed in a long list, from height, weight, measurements, to leg length, back width, etc., a series of demanding requirements, people feel that models are beyond the reach of ordinary people and occupation.But at that time, as long as the figure was tall and the appearance was as beautiful as possible, it was considered as meeting the standard.

At that time, the height of Chinese women was generally not high, and 165 centimeters was considered tall. A tall person like Li Wenxiu who was 170 centimeters was indeed very eye-catching and eye-catching.

Therefore, in the absence of specific criteria, the members of the first fashion show team were selected by the leader's visual inspection.

Another feature of casting actors at that time was that the leaders took the initiative to find them, rather than the actors themselves applying for the job.After all, the fashion show was still a new thing at that time, and not everyone could accept it, especially to be the first person to "eat crabs" and take it as a profession.

Therefore, the leaders just selected secretly, went to various factories and workshops to pick, and did not make a big publicity.The selected person must first ask himself whether he accepts it, and secondly, whether his family members agree.

The personal identity experience of the first batch of models in my country is different.Some of them have graduated from middle school and directly entered the factory as workers, while others have gone to the mountains and countryside to carry hoes and sickles...

Zhou Boqiang was one of the leaders in the selection process.

In order to train these seedlings, the model team invited the leaders of STA, and organized a whole set of teachers in body, make-up, lighting, choreography and music to support the training and performance of the performance team.The team members step on high-heeled shoes every day to train their bodies, and they have to control their diet in order to be slimmer.

At the beginning, the members of the fashion show team were all amateurs, and they had to go back to work in the factory when they had no performance tasks.There is no fixed venue for the rehearsal of the performance team, and they have moved nine times in two years.

With the acceleration of reform and opening up, people's ideas began to change, and their ability to accept new things gradually improved.The fashion show team finally received the red-headed document from their superiors agreeing to set up a professional show team.

The first thing the fashion show team does after they have a legal identity is to design fashions from the fabrics that are backlogged in the warehouse and perform commercial performances to dealers.

The performances one after another attracted many dealers to watch. After the performances, they placed orders with clothing companies.As a result, the plaid and striped cloth worth about [-] yuan accumulated in the warehouse were all sold out.

In China at that time, "fashion shows" were only for "internal performances", and a three-no policy was implemented-no reporting, no photography, and no video recording.The original intention of Shencheng Clothing Company to set up a fashion show team was to increase domestic or export orders.

Zhou Boqiang said: "I remember very clearly. The monthly salary of the founders of this profession was 45 yuan, and the subsidy for participating in a performance was only 1.5 yuan."

Li Wenjuan said: "So cheap?"

Wang Lindao: "Don't even think about it, it was 45 yuan ten years ago! The salary is higher than the average worker!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "That's true. There is one more thing, let me tell you! At that time, the mind was not as open as it is now. The first fashion show kicked off in the Friendship Hall. This is also the first official performance of our country. A model show! During the performance, there was a dress with bare shoulders, and no actor would wear it at the time. Later, this dress was arranged for a model in the team to wear, because she was relatively open-minded. However, When her parents heard about it, they resolutely expressed their opposition!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "This story sounds very similar to a movie I watched, that is the hello bikini."

Zhou Boqiang said: "When the female model's parents heard that their daughter was going to wear a bare-shouldered evening dress, they immediately rushed to the scene angrily. Clothes, our daughter can’t wear them! Her father thinks that if he shows his arms today, he can show his thighs tomorrow, so it’s a bad idea? How will he behave in society in the future?”

Li Wenjuan asked, "Then what happened next?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "In the end, the leader had no choice but to make a concession, respecting the parents' opinions, and came up with a way to wrap the belt dragged on the ground around the models' shoulders so that they could partially cover the back shoulders when they turned their backs to the audience. That calmed down the turmoil."

With his hands behind his back, he said while recalling: "In 1983, in order to cooperate with the clothing, shoes and hats fair in five provinces and cities across the country, our city's fashion show team won the opportunity to perform in Beijing. More than a dozen handsome men and women in our city took turns to change clothes. The show with 185 fashion sets was very successful. It was hard to get a ticket for the show, and there were many scalpers outside the show. The clothes worn by the models on stage were sold at the counter next to them, and the citizens rushed to buy them. The manager of the company hurriedly called Shencheng, shipped dozens of cars to Beijin, and they were sold out within three days. The fashion show team caused a sensation in Beijin, and the response was great. Overnight, their names occupied major newspapers and periodicals. Overseas media even regarded this performance as a symbol of my country's reform and opening up."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "The most important thing is that the first model team in our country is all textile workers!"

Li Wenjuan wowed: "So amazing! The textile workers are amazing!"

Wang Lindao: "That's right! Female textile workers are the hardest-working women. They can be models and stewardesses. They can work wherever they are needed!"

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, it would be great if we could reap such a big harvest today! Sell out all our clothes, fabrics, and everything else!"

The first show of the opening ceremony, of course, is mainly the clothing of the Aishiu Group.

This is also an excellent opportunity for Aixiu Group to show itself to the world!
Can it be recognized by foreign businessmen?

Can you get a large order?

Just watch this fashion show!
Wang Lin thought to himself, if it wasn't for the first day of the new year, he believed that there would be great gains!

Because events such as model catwalks, not to mention in the 90s, even after [-] years, will be eagerly watched by the public!

Not for anything else!

It's worth it just to see the beauties!
With so many beauties changing into hundreds of sets of fashionable and beautiful clothes, who would not want to come and see them?

However, today is the first day of the new year!

This variable is too big.

Even Li Wenxiu, who supports Wang Lin's work, wants to go back to her natal family to celebrate the New Year in the second year of junior high school.

Can other citizens come to watch a fashion show on New Year's Day?
Can the propaganda done years ago be effective?
Wang Lin didn't know what to do.

Soon, all the vice presidents came to report to Wang Lin.

The work was basically done in place, and there were no major mistakes or omissions.

Foreign businessmen and spectators began to enter the venue one after another.

Wang Lin suddenly thought that Li Jiaxin had also come to Shencheng.

Did she also come in to watch this fashion show as an ordinary audience?

Wang Lin is too busy now, and has no time to go to her to say goodbye.

All his thoughts are on this fashion show.

Will this love show fashion week created by Wang Lin become a blockbuster, even the world?

Can you lead Aishu Group to a new level?

Let us wait and see!
