National Tide 1980

Pierre Carton is the most gentlemanly person.

The old man was wearing a shirt, trousers, a beautiful watch and pointed shoes, and was holding a smoke-colored cowhide bag in his hand.

After seeing Ning Weimin and the others, he took the initiative to smile and wave, and came over to say hello.

He looks more graceful than the male protagonist in "Cassandra Bridge" released last year.

And there are two foreign coaches beside Pierre Caton, one male and one female. Their height, temperament, and appearance are even more outstanding.

Men must be at least 1.9 meters tall, and women must be at least 1.8 meters tall.

The man has blond hair, white pants, a white shirt, a white belt, and beige leather shoes.

The woman has brown hair, a light blue skirt, a pair of blue high heels, and a brown belt.

Especially when they are tall and thin coming from a distance.

Ning Weimin and the others all had the same feeling in their hearts as when they saw the hero and heroine in the American movie "The Blue Bridge".

Everyone feels that the two foreign coaches look too much like the fashionable versions of Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh.

But even so, the two foreign coaches are far less eye-catching than the oriental woman in her forties behind them.

Because although this woman's facial features are not beautiful and her figure is not very tall, she is full of confidence and elegance.

The most dazzling thing about her is that even though she is so young and has black hair and yellow skin, her clothes and appearance are more classy than those of foreigners.

She was actually wearing the most eye-catching red dress, paired with a green belt and floral shoes.

She also had her long hair tied back, makeup on her face, and lipstick on her mouth.

In this era, her image is more like someone from time and space than Ning Weimin, and her style is unparalleled.

She even compared herself to the girl next to her who was obviously very young and more beautiful than her.

So naturally, almost everyone who followed Ning Weimin regarded this woman as a "Hong Kong coward" or a Japanese.

Mi Xiaoran, Liu Weijing and Qu Xiao were all thinking about it.

Growing up, I have never seen such a sophisticated woman in the capital, which is really new.

Zhang Shihui's heart trembled, he clenched his fists subconsciously, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Where did this old witch come from?

Only Ning Weimin knew clearly that this woman was actually a native of the capital.

Because in the world of his previous life, there were only people who had read Pierre Catton's personal autobiography or were slightly familiar with his life experience.

Everyone will know that the success of this master's career in the Republic is inseparable from a woman named Song Huagui in the capital.

Who is Song Huagui?

She is the founder of the first generation of domestic models.

She was the first mastermind to bring the republican model to the Western stage.

She was the first agent of an international clothing brand to enter the Republic.

Until the end of her life, she was Pierre Carton's agent for all his business interests in the Republic.

She is both the president of Pierre Catton's clothing company and the general manager of Maxim, a famous French restaurant invested by Pierre Catton.

Wearing two hats.

Therefore, in the domestic fashion industry, this woman's power and status are no worse than the female editor-in-chief Miranda played by Streep in the famous fashion movie "The Devil Wears Prada".

Even worse.

That's why she is known as the "godmother of domestic fashion".

In addition, Song Huagui was also the first woman in the Republic to marry abroad.

In the 1950s, when even holding hands on the street was considered a hooligan, Song Huagui, who was studying oil painting at the National Academy of Fine Arts, met Wanman, an international student from Bulgaria.

In the process of learning Chinese and communicating art, the two were attracted to each other and fell in love.

However, given the social conditions at the time, they were inevitably criticized by public opinion from all sides.

So Song Huagui, who refused to admit defeat, resisted the pressure and bravely wrote a letter of love and sent it to the highest-level desk in the Republic, thus obtaining approval for the marriage.

This is the first foreign-related marriage in my country.

When her daughter was born, Song Huagui left her homeland and followed her husband to Bulgaria.

Later, she accompanied her husband to live in France.

Pierre Carton met Song Huagui and Wan Man by chance at their art exhibition.

The kind-hearted old man knew that Song Huagui was a citizen of the Republic. He not only expressed his yearning for Chinese culture, but also financed the purchase of two exhibits, which solved the economic difficulties faced by Song Huagui and Wanman.

It is precisely because of this kind of kindness that after learning that Pierre Carton's first trip to the Republic was unsuccessful.

Song Huagui accepted his invitation and returned to the Republic.

Then I relied on persistent phone calls and letters, and rode my bicycle to the Ministry of Light Industry and the Ministry of Textiles to visit one by one and seek permission from the staff.

In the end, the extremely difficult communication was completed and the relevant approval documents were obtained for Pierre Carton.

Pierre Carton once lamented that he believed that Song Huagui could learn the language of cactus even in the desert.

Therefore, it can be said that Song Huagui was the greatest contributor to Pierre Carton's career in the Republic, and the partner that Pierre Carton trusted and was most grateful to.

Because of this, Ning Weimin considered that Pierre Carton would not be able to stay in the Republic all year round.

He knew that in fact, this woman was the person he should please the most and handle the relationship well.

Only with the approval of Ms. Song could he get the most benefit from Pierre Cardon.

As expected, Mr. Pierre Caton simply introduced the names of the two foreign coaches.

It was said that the man's name was Taldo and the woman's name was Shilin, and then the focus was on Song Huagui.

The old man told everyone humorously that Song Huagui was his plenipotentiary representative and the chief planner of the costume show.

She is not a 'foreigner' like herself, she is a citizen of the Republic like everyone else, and she has a good temperament.

Please don’t worry, you can ask her any questions you may have.

Pierre Carton also specially introduced Ning Weimin and Song Huagui to each other.

Tell Song Huagui that Ning Weimin is very talented and knowledgeable in fashion, and hopes that he can help Song Huagui.

There is no need to say what kind of hint this move contains.

As for the girl next to Song Huagui, she needs no introduction at all.

Because she has been responsible for relaying the old man's English to everyone, everyone will know that she is a translator.

Not to mention, Ning Weimin was silently observing Song Huagui.

What he couldn't help but admire was that this woman not only had a strong aura, but could also hold down the situation.

Moreover, he is generous and friendly to others, appears to be very good-natured, and is really good at communication.

Before speaking, Song Huagui showed a particularly bright smile and then spoke softly to everyone.

"How are you? It's our first time meeting you. It's nice to meet you all. Just call me eldest sister. If you have any questions about training and fashion modeling, feel free to ask me."

After waiting for a while, when no one spoke, she took the initiative to joke again.

"Hey, why doesn't anyone want to pay attention to me? Do you dislike my age, or do you really treat me as an outsider? We are fellow villagers! Don't you believe it? Do you still want me to ask you, 'Have you eaten?' Only you can believe it..."

As a result, everyone couldn't help but be amused, and naturally developed a good impression of Song Huaigui.

And then, Song Hua knew how to wake him up with appropriate praise so that he could continue to instill concepts.

"First of all, I have to congratulate you. The fact that you are here is enough to prove that you are not only outstanding in appearance, but also very avant-garde young people in your thinking. But do you know? Although I ask you to come here just to let you walk around in clothes, this It’s a very important and technically demanding job!”

"I say important because our country urgently needs to expand clothing exports to earn foreign exchange. However, because it has been separated from the world for too long, our clothing industry knows nothing about Western fashion trends. It is in great need of Mr. Pierre Catton to bring the latest knowledge.”

"Mr. Caton is willing to help us with clothing design. He will design our fabrics to be the ones that people in the world like the most. This is called fashion. Then you will wear such clothes everywhere to show others. It is a kind of fashion in the current world. A common way of displaying and selling clothing.”

"I say that this requires technology, not only because there are professionals in the Western world who engage in this profession. It is also because clothing models walk differently from ordinary people. The graceful feeling of models when walking comes from the shift of the center of gravity of the left and right legs, and at the same time, the shoulders must be avoided. To do this, you must change the habits you have developed over the years. To master the preliminary techniques, you need to practice for at least a hundred miles..."
