Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening local time in Paris after Lin Qingyuan had finished the necessary interviews and social activities, he still couldn't take a shower or lie down in bed because there was still a Paris Fashion Week closing reception hosted by Louis Vuitton waiting for him.
Ask him to attend.
So Lin Qingyuan returned directly to the hotel. There was nothing to worry about, and he started putting on makeup and dressing directly.
Because before coming to Paris, his styling team had already designed the specific outfit for him tonight in advance, from the theme color matching of ready-made clothes to the matching of details such as rings and necklaces.
As the male artist with the highest commercial value in Asia at this stage, Lin Qingyuan's whole body is the focus of attention.
Those jewelry dealers and shoe dealers who see business opportunities stare at Lin Qingyuan's private clothing every day, crazily stock up on items of the same frame that Lin Qingyuan has worn, and then raise the price before reselling them. This can often bring benefits
Their net profit is two to three times higher, which is frighteningly high.
Those who opened online stores on Taobao obviously saw the business opportunities and added the prefix "Lin Qingyuan Same Style" to the names of the items in their stores, as if this was the code of wealth that would make them rich.
And because the price of fakes is much lower than the genuine ones, sales are often pretty good...
Although this behavior of using his fame to make money made Lin Qingyuan a little unhappy, it did provide him with a brand new way of making money.
That is to imitate many predecessors in the entertainment industry, create his own trendy brand, and bring his own products.
Of course, a dedicated person must be responsible for personal fashion brand matters. After all, Lin Qingyuan does not understand this aspect, so it is just an early idea for the time being.
"I suggest that if you really have this idea, contact people as soon as possible to start forming it." Yan Jun said to Lin Qingyuan in the car.
"Is it urgent to start a personal fashion brand?" Lin Qingyuan didn't quite understand why Yan Jun asked him to start quickly.
"We're not in a hurry, but there is a program on Kiwi that focuses on popular culture that is expected to start recording in November this year, and they have sent us an invitation." Yan Jun continued: "So, if you develop it quickly enough,
, maybe you can also promote your personal fashion brand through this program, killing two birds with one stone."
"Kiwi? What show?"
""Trend Partner"."
"Have they given out a list of proposed guests?" Lin Qingyuan regards this program as a purely commercial announcement, so if there are not enough seats for other permanent guests, then he will most likely choose to refuse, because he does not want to run away stupidly
I used to work as a blood bank to suck blood from them.
"You and Dilraba are the main stars, and Pan Weibo, who has hip-hop, is the assistant star. As for the other two candidates, they have not yet been finalized. Of course, this proposed list of invitations is not the final lineup, because you are the first one they invited.
No one else has sent out invitations yet.”
"You are responsible for the trend and traffic, Dilraba is responsible for the traffic, and Pan Weibo is responsible for the sense of variety shows. It doesn't matter who the other two are, because the most basic creative team of the show has been established. As long as the content itself does not stretch the crotch, then the broadcast
There’s no way your grades will be bad.”
"How much are they willing to give us?"
"The maximum salary under the salary restriction order is 10 million, and a 5% dividend on fourtry's turnover."
I have to say that the salary limit order is still too harsh.
A few years ago, a high-profile artist like Lin Qingyuan would have to pay at least 120 million to get a variety show.
And now?
The maximum salary for the entire season of the variety show is 10 million. Even if it can be compensated implicitly in other ways, it is still far from the previous nine-digit price.
“fourtry is a brand?”
"An emerging national fashion brand." Seeing Lin Qingyuan frown slightly, Yan Jun added: "It can even be said that this program costing over 100 million yuan was created to attract traffic to Fourtry."
According to statistics from relevant data departments, young people in China are expected to spend US$35-38 billion on trendy brands this year.
With an unsaturated market worth RMB 200 billion, it is really difficult not to attract emerging capital to compete for food.
So fourtry came into being, and the establishment of Lin Qingyuan's personal fashion brand was more or less affected by this trend.
"That's it. Brother Jun, you can first convey to them our intention to accept the invitation, but the premise is that the final permanent lineup must not be worse than the existing lineup to be invited." Lin Qingyuan certainly will not be like a fool.
I also jumped on the kiwi fruit chariot early.
"Well, I will communicate with them later and tell them about your fashion brand in advance."
"Okay, then it's up to you, Brother Jun."
Lin Qingyuan leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and began to rest. His current thoughts were very simple.
If his personal fashion brand can really catch up with this show, it will undoubtedly help him save a lot of promotion expenses.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't catch up, since he has many friends anyway, so asking them to wear more clothes, take photos and post them on Weibo can have a very good advertising effect.
He has many free advertising methods.
............
The special car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and there were already many guests in evening clothes socializing in the lobby.
Walked into the lobby surrounded by a group of people.
What caught Lin Qingyuan's eyes was LV's iconic logo everywhere. The crystal pyramid made of stacked goblets shone brightly in his eyes. In addition, the exquisite and luxurious carpets and the light pouring from the large crystal chandelier made the whole environment extra special.
A sense of high-end.
The so-called cocktail party and dinner are nothing more than a group of celebrities wearing gorgeous evening gowns, holding wine glasses, chatting, exchanging feelings and business.
Lin Qingyuan has experienced too many occasions like this in the past two years, but it was not convenient to miss some of the more important cocktail parties, so he simply stood at a relatively close place and silently tasted the wine, quietly waiting for the Vanity Fair to change glasses.
Declare the end.
"Si Teng" is expected to be completed at the end of this month, and he has to go to the United States for a few days to shoot for magazines in the middle of this month. Then there is a cooperation with Universal waiting for him to complete, and then there will be a series of "Boyen" around the 25th.
Related work before and after the release of "You".
Calculating it this way, although this month's filming tasks are not as heavy as those of "Under the Brocade" a few months ago, they are definitely not light.
Moreover, it also has to enter the field of entertainment that has not been involved before. This is a very huge and difficult challenge for Lin Qingyuan’s entire team.
Now I feel hard just thinking about it...
But after all, Lin Qingyuan is the most important partner of Louis Vuitton and even the entire LVMH Group. How could they really let one of the protagonists tonight stand in the corner and drink alone with his head down?
So not long after, he was brought back to the reception center by the LV executives who came after hearing the news, and instantly attracted a lot of curious or envious eyes.
At the same time, the crowd who were still toasting and chatting gradually came closer, and Lin Qingyuan naturally became the undisputed focus of the reception.
Although he doesn't really want to chat right now, this group of so-called celebrities in the fashion industry and pseudo-celebrities who want to break into the fashion industry obviously want to get to know this upstart fashionista who is blessed with two luxury items.
In other words, they want to enter the mainstream European fashion industry through the channels and connections established by Lin Qingyuan, and thereby obtain better fashion resources.
So as soon as he was brought here, Lin Qingyuan was forced to start socializing again.
They are either celebrities from the entertainment circles of various countries, or company executives and designers from the fashion industry.
Lin Qingyuan was wet with rain and dew, and basically chatted with everyone who came to talk to him.
But just when he finally had some free time and planned to go to the toilet to rest for a while...
But he suddenly saw that Dilraba, who was not supposed to be here, also appeared at the reception and was being accosted by a middle-aged white man.
So can friends of the brand come too?
Lin Qingyuan raised his eyebrows in confusion. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but after seeing that Reba's expression was obviously unnatural, he still walked over.
"Hello, sir, this lady is my female companion tonight." Lin Qingyuan stood in front of Reba to block her gaze, then smiled appropriately and said in the non-standard French that she had been practicing for a while.
"I wish you all a pleasant night." Knowing that Lin Qingyuan was chasing him away, the white man was not embarrassed. He just shrugged and turned around and left.
Being able to appear at this cocktail party meant that he was also engaged in work related to the fashion industry, so he still knew this handsome man who was almost not in the same dimension as the other people at this cocktail party.
Lin, the double luxury spokesperson of lvmh Group, which has risen rapidly in the global fashion industry this year, is the first Asian to appear on the French version of Vogue's gold 9 single cover and the Italian version of Vogue's silver 10 single cover.
Everyone in the mainstream European fashion industry knows how great these achievements are, and Lin Qingyuan, who achieved these achievements in less than two years, is undoubtedly the greatness of the new era, so he knows very well that he can never afford to offend this person.
Asian man.
"Did you just speak French?" Reba leaned in front of Lin Qingyuan and smiled sweetly.
She was very grateful to Lin Qingyuan for taking the time to come over and help her drive away the man who tried to chat with her.
"Um."
Lin Qingyuan thought it was nothing, so if Reba asked her now, he would probably only reply, "It's just a casual move."
"Then what did you say to him?" Reba chased Lin Qingyuan like a curious baby.
"I told him that I had something to see you for." Lin Qingyuan's expression remained as usual.
"Really?" Reba winked at him playfully, obviously not believing what Lin Qingyuan said.
"Otherwise there is still a lie?"
"Then what do you want to see me for?"
Lin Qingyuan was silent for a moment.
"It's okay now."
The incident happened so suddenly that he couldn't think of an excuse yet.
"How come you are in trouble now and then fine again?" Reba covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Can't you forget it all of a sudden?" Lin Qingyuan tried to excuse him.
"Can I forget this?"
"Haven't you ever encountered such a situation where you suddenly forget things?"
"Since childhood..." Reba thought for a moment and laughed, "It seems that a lot has happened, hahaha!"
After chatting for a few more words, Lin Qingyuan said goodbye to his old friends and returned to the reception center to continue the boring process of tasting wine and chatting.
Reba, on the other hand, stayed where she was, staring at Lin Qingyuan who stood in the center of the crowd from a distance, and his appearance was completely different from the painting style of the people around him.
He was seen holding a goblet, and entertainment stars and fashion celebrities from all over the world were crowding around him with fawning faces. They wanted to talk to him, but were too embarrassed to interrupt his conversation with others.
"It's as if you are the only one who knows a few words of French..."
