The Pentium Era - South to North

The bus came back, and more than thirty models suddenly crowded into the exhibition center.

Wenwen clapped her hands and shouted, "All the clothes are here, one hanger for each person, fifteen sets of clothes for each person. Your names are on the hangers. You can go find them by yourself. After trying on the clothes, hang them up." Return it to your original hanger, don't make a mistake, and don't hang it on someone else's hanger.

After saying that, she clapped her hands twice more and shouted: "Also, after putting on your clothes, don't take them off right away. Let our designers and factory technicians take a look at what you think is uncomfortable. Also bring it up to them, do you all understand? I understand, let’s start.”

As soon as the models heard the beginning, they rushed to the rows of clothes hangers, found the clothes hanger with their own names, pushed it to a free space aside, took off their windbreakers and threw them on the ground. What they did next was This move surprised Zhang Chen.

They then began to take off their underwear, and threw the underwear on their windbreakers until they were only wearing bras and briefs. The thirty or so beauties instantly turned into over thirty white bodies, no matter what. There are other people in the exhibition hall, including men like Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed and turned sideways. He Hongmei looked at him, chuckled, and cursed lightly: "It's strange to see him, this is his job."

Zhang Chen understood. It turns out that this is the daily life of models backstage. It is true when you think about it. There are dozens of models in a show. How can there be so many independent dressing rooms in the backstage? Even if there are, you are not allowed. You must take off your clothes and put on your clothes in full view of designers, makeup artists, and hairstylists, so that any problems they encounter can be rectified.

And they only have two or three minutes between getting off the stage and getting on stage, between taking off their clothes and putting on their clothes, and they have to grab everything.

Backstage, there are designers, hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers, and assistants and related staff of various people. There are so many people that it is inevitable to avoid them. Wherever there are so many people to take care of, it is always like this, in order to grab time. First, all of them, including the backstage staff, have long been accustomed to this. No one has other ideas. It is for work, as He Hongmei said.

If you have other ideas, you are the one who is dirty in your heart.

Zhang Chen's face turned red when he thought about it. He Hongmei and Ge Ling had already walked away to see the models wearing clothes. They wanted to know the effect of every piece of clothing on the models.

There was another person at the scene whose face was even redder than Zhang Chen's, that was Zhao Zhilong. His face was flushed and he stood there coyly. Wenwen was beating him with the handout in her hand, and shouted loudly as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know. Cursed:

"Go, you are standing here stupidly, watching what I am doing, go and see if there is anything wrong with their clothes, you bastard, you usually take a look at a beautiful woman when you see one, today is such a good opportunity , everyone is gone, I want you to see enough, why are you scared?!"

Zhao Zhilong was scolded by Wenwen. If he sewed in an orderly manner, he wanted to get in. Those models who only had three-point patterns on their bodies heard Wenwen's cry and turned their heads to look. They all laughed, not at all. Apparently, they were accustomed to the reaction of people who saw this kind of scene for the first time.

Zhang Chen calmed down and walked towards He Hongmei and the others. When he passed by those three-point women, he tried not to look at them. But when he had dinner last night, he was the host and toasted every table. Yes, these models all know that he is the boss here and the chief designer of this fashion show.

On the spot, some models used their usual way of paying respect to the designer. They turned around and hugged Zhang Chen, kissed him cheek to cheek, and praised: "The design is beautiful!"

Zhang Chen could only murmur thank you, thank you! But he felt that his face had already been feverish, and his brain was dizzy from the smell of various perfumes on their bodies.

Zhang Chen walked to He Hongmei and Ge Ling. He Hongmei looked at him and said with a smile: "If you don't come over, I will beat you with the handout folder."

Ge Ling laughed and said softly: "Senior sister, this is the first time I have seen that Master can also blush."

Zhang Chen glared at her and cursed: "I blush often, okay?"

He Hongmei and Ge Ling smiled. He Hongmei said, let's go. Wenwen is right. If you don't watch, it will be in vain. You will be given an advantage today.

Zhang Chen followed He Hongmei and Ge Ling and walked towards the crowd. When he saw a model wearing clothes, he stopped and took a look. He Hongmei looked at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen nodded. He Hongmei was on the model's butt, lightly I patted it lightly and said OK.

The model went to change into the next outfit, and they turned to another person.

When there was something that needed to be modified, but these modifications were only minor details, Ge Ling would record down the clothing number of so-and-so and what needed to be modified.

He Hongmei whispered in Zhang Chen's ear, it's your idol. Zhang Chen looked up and saw Ma Yanli. Zhang Chen saw that she was wearing the clothes she designed, and she really looked like the one he saw in his dream. Exactly the same.

"So beautiful!" He Hongmei couldn't help but admired.

At this moment, Zhang Chen knew that he had succeeded. The nervousness and embarrassment also disappeared at this moment. He felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that he had fully entered the working state. .

Next, Zhang Chen became relaxed and at ease. Standing in front of the model, his hands would naturally help arrange the clothes on his body. Even if the model was still wearing clothes, he would help lift the waistband of the trousers or hide the clothes behind the clothes. The zipper was pulled up from below, wrapping her fair skin into the clothing.

When the waist is a little too fat, I will use my hands to hoop the model's waist to see how much capacity there is, then turn around and tell Ge Ling how much the waist needs to be tightened.

He Hongmei saw it, she stretched out her hand to wave to Qianqian, Qianqian came over, He Hongmei and Zhang Chen said, "It's too much, Master, let's look at it separately."

Zhang Chen said yes without looking back.

He Hongmei walked away with Qianqian.

The whole process of trying on clothes took about forty or fifty minutes. Director Li's assistant took them to the roof. Director Li called Zhang Chen and the two team leaders together. Director Li and the two team leaders informed, An indoor venue will be prepared for backup today. If it rains tomorrow night, it will be held indoors. Mr. Zhang and the others will use cars to pick up all the guests directly from the hotel.

Both of them said that this was the best, and that was how they should be prepared.

"But this way, everyone will have to work harder tonight. We have to rehearse twice. We will go to the indoor side first, and then go to the West Lake after that. At that time, there will be fewer people around the West Lake." Director Li said, the two All the team leaders nodded, no problem.

"Also, I want everyone to remember the catwalk and their own positions in their minds. There will be lights for the rehearsal by the West Lake in the evening, but there will be no catwalk. The catwalk garden cultural bureau will only allow us to set up the catwalk from tomorrow afternoon. However, , I will be there, laying a carpet the same size as the T stage, but it will still be a bit hard, so everyone can be mentally prepared."

Both of them made an OK gesture.

"Okay, please, everyone. At the end of the night, Mr. Zhang invites everyone to have a midnight snack. Don't they all say that Tuxiangyuan is delicious, then it is still Tuxiangyuan."

Director Li did not ask Zhang Chen, but made his own promise to the two team leaders.

The four of them separated, and the three of them went to the roof. Zhang Chen went to He Hongmei and Zhao Zhilong. They were picking out the clothes that needed to be altered from the hangers for the workers to alter.

Zhang Chen and the others finished their work in the display center below and left all the clothes that needed to be altered with Wenwen Qianqian and Zhao Zhilong. Zhang Chen, He Hongmei and Ge Ling walked to the roof to watch the models rehearse.

It's cloudy today, and the wind on the roof is a bit strong. It's already the end of November, and the temperature has dropped below ten degrees. The cold in the south of the Yangtze River is the kind of cold and humid that penetrates the flesh. Zhang Chen saw that this The faces of the more than thirty models were already red from the cold, but each one of them was still rehearsing very seriously and attentively.

Watching the catwalk shows on TV, I feel that each of them seems to be infinitely beautiful. I feel that the job of a model is really easy. It just involves wearing clothes and walking around on the stage, and that's it.

After really watching them rehearse up close like this, I realized that this is really a boring and boring job.

They just do this over and over again, repeating the same movements, going back and forth, repeating the same stretch of dozens of meters long. By walking like this, the movements and the positions they need to stand become their own stereotypes. The memory is engraved in your mind. Only in this way will you not make the wrong move or stand in the wrong position when you get on stage.

Otherwise, on the T stage, as long as one person walks in the wrong queue or stands in the wrong position, others will not be able to find their queue and position, and it will be a mess.

As they walked like this, not only did their faces become swollen from the wind, but blisters would appear on their feet before they knew it, and then they would break out. Every step they took was painful, but they had to maintain a relaxed attitude on their faces. , but also smile and pay attention to your eyes.

"The eyes, the eyes, the eyes should be wandering, a little confused, yes, yes, a little more confused, as if you are not here, it is confusion, not a lack of vision, confusion is to make people feel that your mind is far away, yes , thinking about a far away place, a beautiful place, where your dearest person is, yes, as you think about it, you will laugh, but don’t forget to move.”

Director Li was shouting loudly.

The three of them stood for more than ten minutes before leaving and walking down. Zhang Chen said to He Hongmei and Ge Ling with some emotion: Whose person's applause and halo is not for hard work? There is no crown in this world that is not for blood and tears.

He Hongmei looked at him and asked, "Do you know why these models like to wear windbreakers?"

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Wear a windbreaker. When waiting for the show or taking a break, you can take it off anytime, anywhere, spread it on the ground, and sit or lie down to rest for a while." He Hongmei said.

Zhang Chen was silent. He thought about it. There is another advantage of wearing a windbreaker, which is to throw the windbreaker on the ground like before and put his underwear and other things on the windbreaker. The models were in the background, probably even with their own clothes. There are no lockers.

Everything needs to be figured out by oneself and solved in the simplest way.
