The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 327 Fashion Week

Xu Guanwu didn't want the movie star he had cultivated with great difficulty to be used by Hollywood film companies like this.I also don't want their popularity to be over-consumed and damage the hard-won foundation.

"Well, you choose a few companies that are more sincere, and then ask them to prepare the script, crew, actors, etc., and then let me have a look at it before I leave the United States. If this project is really good, you can try to cooperate Let’s see. If they just want to make quick money, the script is not good, the director is not good, and the supporting actors are not good, then they are not sincerely cooperating.” Xu Guanwu waved his hands.

"Well then, I will convey your intentions to them, boss." Lon Meyer nodded and said, "However, boss, are your requirements higher? I know that although your actors are in Asia You are relatively well-known, but the top in Hollywood is the level of second-tier actors. Your strict requirements are comparable to first-tier stars, and I don’t think those film companies will cooperate.”

In Hollywood, only first-line superstars, first-line producers, and first-line directors can criticize others, because they do not lack cooperation projects, so they can slowly choose among many projects.But for second-tier and third-tier artists, some performers are already very good, what kind of bicycle do you want? !
Xu Guanwu's so-called not acting if the script is not good, not acting if the director is not good, and even picking on the actors who play the role, this is simply treating the stars produced in his own backyard as Hollywood first-line movie stars.It is undeniable that they may be well-known in Asia, but in the United States, the highest box office of the movie they starred in is only 500 million US dollars.This box office is basically at the level of second-tier Hollywood actors.

The reason why those film companies are willing to hire them to star in a large part of the reason is the low pay.There are only more than [-] Hong Kong dollars, which is only tens of thousands of dollars converted into US dollars.Compared with Hollywood's second-tier movie stars' salaries of hundreds of thousands, it is really cheap and easy to use.

But if the boss wants to be so demanding.I'm afraid that none of the film projects can be negotiated.These film companies are basically small companies, specializing in making some B-grade movies, C-grade movies and other small-scale movies to make money.They neither have a famous director nor invite famous entertainers, not to mention the script and cast.

The problem now is that companies that are willing to hire Hong Kong movie stars basically cannot meet the boss's requirements; and companies that can meet the boss's requirements will not hire Hong Kong movie stars.This creates an unsolvable conundrum, and the only way to solve it is to get the boss to relax the restrictions.

Xu Guanwu was unwilling to destroy the star he had cultivated with great difficulty because of the tens of thousands of dollars in salary.If Hollywood film companies are unwilling to cooperate due to harsh conditions, Xu Guanwu would rather pay for the film himself, so that they can produce satisfactory works, so that they can gain a firm foothold in the United States in the future.

"There is no need to talk about this issue, the bottom line is already there." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "If those film companies are sincere, then do as I say. If they are not sincere, then there is no need to talk about it Yes. It’s only tens of thousands of dollars, and it’s not worth making me go back.”

Seeing that the boss insisted, Michael and the others stopped raising their opinions, and immediately nodded and accepted Xu Guanwu's arrangement.

……

After leaving the CAA brokerage company, Xu Guanwu accompanied his wife Zhao Yazhi to visit the store.Because it was just in time for the annual Los Angeles Fashion Week, Hollywood was full of the latest fashions, which made Zhao Yazhi almost dazzled.

And the many tall and beautiful female models at the fashion week really made Xu Guanwu's eyes addicted.Walking on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, there are young girls with a height of [-] and above, who are slender and well-dressed, passing by from time to time. They are really the most eye-catching scenery on the street.

However, Xu Guanwu knew that compared with the film and television industry, the competition in the fashion industry was even worse.Inspired by beautiful clothes and overnight fame, a large number of girls went to the fashion circle, dreaming of becoming a supermodel on the runway, and since then they have become the darlings of the fashion industry and the focus of thousands of people's attention.But in fact, this road is not so easy to walk.

Los Angeles Fashion Week is naturally inseparable from the support of these Hollywood stars, especially the Golden Globes and Oscars are about to be held, and Hollywood happens to gather so many stars, so the new product launches of major brands are all star-studded Yiyi.

Xu Guanwu and his wife were also invited by several major brands, because apart from being well-known Hollywood filmmakers, the most important thing is that they are also rich.The magic of money naturally makes them irresistible, and once a well-known investor like Xu Guanwu appears, their new product fashion launch will undoubtedly become the focus.

Xu Guanwu doesn't know anything about fashion. Apart from suits, he also wears casual clothes at home, and his wife Zhao Yazhi helps him choose them.Now that he received the invitation card for this fashion show, Xu Guanwu couldn't help hesitating.

It would be quite eye-catching if you just sit under the stage and watch the beautiful models walking around, but if there are a lot of reporters sitting next to you, the flashes will keep taking pictures.If I take a picture of my Brother Pig again, won't it ruin my reputation for the rest of my life? !
The more Xu Guanwu thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't go to this fashion show, because it would be too easy to expose his true nature.But he didn't want to go, but his wife Zhao Yazhi was very excited.But there is no woman who does not love beauty, especially this fashion show is held by famous fashion brands, such as LV, GUCCI, Chanel... These are well-known brands in the fashion industry, and they are also the favorites in the wardrobe of beauty-loving women.

Zhao Yazhi didn't have much research on fashion at the beginning. Although she earned a lot of money when she was a flight attendant, most of it was handed over to her family, so she didn't have much spare money to buy famous brand clothes.Although he married Xu Guanwu later and had money, he didn't develop the habit for a while.

But as she hosts programs and starred in TV dramas in TVB, she has more contact with other female stars, and has also developed the habit of buying famous brand clothes.When she came to the United States last year, she helped herself and her colleagues buy more than 50 sets of the latest fashions.

It was just after Los Angeles Fashion Week ended, a batch of samples left in Los Angeles for an exhibition, and Zhao Yazhi bought them at a high price.It takes half a year for the same style of clothes to appear in Hong Kong famous brand stores.It means that Zhao Yazhi and the others can wear this brand-name clothing half a year ahead of others.

It's almost like American fruit fans getting the latest Apple iPhone in advance, and Taiwanese gamers playing "Wrath of the Lich King" in advance. For other crowds who are waiting hard, they are definitely envious and jealous.And women are just happy to enjoy the envy and jealousy of their peers. They enjoy these as if they are tasting expensive red wine.If others don't envy and hate her, they won't be able to bring out her uniqueness.

So in order to enjoy other people's envious eyes, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but dragged Xu Guanwu through every fashion show.In fact, a new fashion show is just like a film festival screening. It mainly uses supermodels, famous brands, and celebrities to promote it and let beauty-loving women all over the world notice themselves.During the fashion week, there are not only big-name clothing exhibiting new products, but also small companies and small brands hoping to win business and display their own creations.

Compared with those world-class famous brands, in fact, the clothes of those small brands are often more innovative, and multiple media reports, picky fashion commentators, and many fashion buyers gather will make every fashion week. Every clothing conference, and then ensure that any creative brand will not be ignored.

And if a small brand with innovative ideas gets a good evaluation, it can get a large number of orders, and it is very likely that it will become famous in one fell swoop.If we can continue to innovate in the future, maybe the next Chanel will be it.

Of course, it is more likely that the first shot will be popular, but the second shot will be misfired, and the novelty will soon be lost, and it will be lost to the public.Another possibility is that a big brand discovers the potential of a small brand and acquires it directly, or directly poachs a designer.

At the fashion show, both big and small brands strive to gain attention. Small brands hope that the more audiences will notice them, the greater their chances of success will be.In fact, as long as the attention is high enough, even if the clothing design is not well received, they will receive a large number of orders.

Controversy is a good thing for the fashion industry, they are not afraid to stir up controversy, because it shows that someone is paying attention, and the debate attracts more and more attention.So they are eager to create more clothing that is easy to cause controversy, and sensationalism is the only magic weapon in the fashion industry.On the contrary, what they fear most is that no one pays attention.

In addition to wanting to promote themselves to the greatest extent, big brands don't want their competitors to win.Therefore, in order to stand out more and let myself monopolize all the stars, generally speaking, brands of the same level hold new product launches at the same time.You are holding an autumn and winter fashion conference here, and I am also holding it at the same time.Such a mode of fighting against Taiwan dramas seems to reduce the exposure sharply. In fact, this kind of scene of fighting for beauty is what the media is most willing to report.

For example, LV exhibited a very beautiful dress, and in a blink of an eye, GUCCI also exhibited a dress that is not inferior at all... These clothing brands are fighting each other in the air, throwing each other's new products, such a scene of two strong battles Naturally striking.

In addition to fighting clothes, the invited celebrities are also one of the items they compete for.Wherever there are stars and celebrities, there must be reporters.As for which party invites the most celebrities, has the most status, and is the most topical, there is no doubt which party is most likely to attract attention.

As for the invitation cards Xu Guanwu received successively from LV, GUCCI, Chanel, DIOR, Ralph Lauren, Yves Saint Laurent, etc., many fashion shows were held at the same time.This is clearly forcing these celebrities to make a choice, either me or her, there is no second way to choose.

In this way, although it seems to offend potential customers, it also makes some customers gradually become his loyal fans.For well-known clothing brands, especially those with a high-end style, generally as long as there are some celebrities who are diehard fans, their sales will basically be the same.In addition to the celebrity effect, it will also have a lot more publicity opportunities...

It wasn't long before Zhao Yazhi bought famous brand clothing, so she didn't have her own favorite brand, as long as it was good-looking clothing, she wanted to buy it back.So seeing the arrangement of the press conference now, I can't help but frown. "Ah Wu, which one do you think I should go to?!" Zhao Yazhi held up two invitation cards from LV and Chanel, and asked Xu Guanwu with her mouth pouted.

"Louis Vuitton's design concept is low-key luxury, and Chanel's design concept is simple and elegant. I think that with your current status and status, you don't need to use clothing to improve your wealth, so simple and elegant is not suitable for you. I think Louis Vuitton's design concept is good, and it was a brand used by the royal family before, and it is more high-end than Chanel." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and suggested.

"Well, although what you said is very reasonable, but because of your vision, I decided to go to Chanel's fashion show." Zhao Yazhi giggled.
