And outside, the red carpet area is in full swing.
"J.B and Hailey went for a simple style tonight, which feels futile, a bit boring, and not eye-catching enough, but they don't need these gimmicks in the first place."
"Lil Nas
"Grimes's set is also very good. The metal mask and ancient medieval sword are so cool!"
"By the way, do you know who Lin is? The head of our newspaper office said we would take a few more photos of him tonight."
"Lin? Asian? Or Linsanity?"
"He is a star model, not a basketball player. You can tell at a glance that you don't pay much attention to luxury goods. He is the global spokesperson for LV and Bulgari. Are you not impressed by so many stores in various places?"
"I probably know Lin. I have a colleague who went to the Paris Fashion Week LV show before. He told me that it doesn't matter if I don't know Lin. I just need to find the most handsome Asian man in the room. It's very simple."
"It's really a simple and direct way."
And just as this group of reporters who had been taking photos for two hours were chatting and taking pictures, trying to maintain their brain activity in this way.
A group of young girls at the entrance to the red carpet suddenly screamed loudly and exaggeratedly, which instantly attracted the attention of all media reporters near the red carpet.
"The most handsome Asian man. Is he Lin?"
"Oh my gosh! He's so good-looking!"
"Who else could it be?"
"Damn! You're blocking my camera!"
"The two scars painted on are so classy."
"eous! So when is Taylor going to write him a second song? I can't wait."
A rare small-scale commotion on the strictly disciplined Met Gala red carpet coincidentally happened at the moment of Lin Qingyuan's debut.
Although a large part of this is due to the group of star-chasing fans who came to the scene, Lin Qingyuan's stunning appearance cannot be ignored.
It is almost exactly the same as the on-site situation predicted during the modeling. There is no need for too exaggerated and eye-catching decorations. The emperor is a sight to behold just standing on the red carpet.
Due to the impact of loyalty in the past two years and the revenue situation, Anna Wintour decided that this year’s Met Gala will be broadcast live online for the first time.
Fashion fans around the world are looking forward to this.
In order to cater to the huge fashion market in China that has not yet been fully tapped, VOGUE in China has also opened a simultaneous live broadcast room on its official website to facilitate Chinese fans to watch this global fashion event together.
It is different from the 2015 Met Gala, which was organized by a collective of Chinese artists with the theme of "Through the Looking Glass". This year's party has attracted attention in Asia because of the participation of Lin Qingyuan and the first South Korean female idol to attend the Met Gala.
It received unprecedented attention.
As soon as the red carpet started, a large number of fans came in who got up early to watch the live broadcast. They were all waiting for Lin Qingyuan to appear.
When the red carpet entered the second half and big names appeared one after another, the number of comments increased sharply.
[This is the first time I know the name MetGala. Then I checked the information online and found that this party is so awesome! All big names are participating.]
[Brother Yuan takes me to see the world hahaha! This party is really awesome, each one wears weirder clothes than the other!]
[Beaver is in good condition today, super beautiful! Bieber looks a bit like a bodyguard standing next to him, hahaha! 】
[I think I saw Gu Ailin, but there was only a back view, probably because there were not enough coffee seats. 】
[Rose is good-looking, but she does pale in comparison to the three-dimensional facial features of European and American stars.]
[From the perspective of facial features alone, yellow people with relatively flat faces do not have an advantage.]
And when it was Lin Qingyuan's turn to appear with a small wave of screams, the direction of the barrage changed instantly.
[Okay, it’s my fault. Lin Qingyuan’s face is extremely outstanding even among Europeans and Americans. 】
[Fuck Lin Qingyuan directly killed the game!]
[I’ll go! This face is bright, cool, gentle, yet pure and youthful, it’s absolutely stunning!]
[The clothes are LV classics from the last century that can be put in the museum, the shoes are Louboutin red-soled shoes, the watch is Piaget, the jewelry is Bulgari and .E, and even the roses in my hand are original Roseonly
It’s really tiring to have so many endorsements, hahahaha!]
[I don’t know if you have noticed that Lin Qingyuan is very star-like, and he is also very famous and noble. It gives people the feeling that he is a born superstar. The visual effect of his clothes tonight is not outstanding, but he relies solely on his face to win.
Come out, this horse is the new era of football!]
[You are both upright and lustful, your youthful feeling is almost overflowing, your bones are so amazing, I really want to be eaten by Brother Yuan in one bite. 】
[I’m very curious to whom the flowers in Brother Yuan’s hand will be given.]
[My Tian Lin Qingyuan’s state tonight really shocked me. He felt at ease in such a big event where many stars gathered, as if he was having a party at home. He really looked like an international superstar.
!]
The barrage in the live broadcast room has exploded, and Lin Qingyuan’s team in China also sent out the marketing press release they had prepared and the hot searches on Weibo.
#林清元Met Gala first show#
# Shining Ugly and Strong Chinese Face#
#oriental appearance’s visual impact#
#林清元JennaGigi red carpet in the same frame#
What we are playing is a dimensionality reduction attack.
I don’t know what these top artists will think when they get up in the morning and see these hot search announcements.
You should feel envious, jealous and powerless.
Perhaps in some European film festivals, Lin Qingyuan's influence is still not as big as that of Gong Li.
After all, times have changed, and it is difficult for Chinese films to go abroad now, and there is no need to go abroad.
But in the fashion industry, Lin Qingyuan is the undisputed first person in the history of China.
Of course, many netizens may think that being a fashion celebrity is not a very useful achievement.
Fashion circle? Isn’t it a place for bragging?
But what you need to know is that the fashion industry is a more advanced upper-class circle than the entertainment industry.
So many celebrities around the world want to get involved, just to gain more fame and fortune for themselves.
Even high-tech companies like Apple wanted to break into the fashion circle by sponsoring the Met Gala.
The information we come into contact with inside and outside the industry is completely different, so there is no need to question the choices and decisions made by the celebrity team. After all, professionals will not be stupid most of the time, or they will not "actively be stupid."
Back to the red carpet scene in full swing.
"Lin! Look over here, please look over here!"
"Lin, please change your posture! Thank you!"
"I love you so much! You are so handsome!"
"Lin, Lin! Please show me the side!"
Amid various voices from the media and fans, Lin Qingyuan maintained a stern and dignified appearance at all times, enjoying the baptism of flashlights expressionlessly.
Sometimes he matched the media's concave shape to take photos, and sometimes he chatted with the fans who came to the scene. The whole person showed a very relaxed and natural state.
At least in the eyes of the outside world, Lin Qingyuan has regarded this dazzling Vanity Fair, which has focused the world's attention and is shining with stars, as a party for him to have fun and have fun.
He is really too confident and casual, and the interesting thing is that European and American fans like celebrities who are wanton and flamboyant.
As we all know, the time a celebrity stays on the red carpet of large-scale events is basically directly proportional to his or her status.
Of course, except for those who stay on the red carpet.
Lin Qingyuan, as one of the top 10 celebrities at this year's Met Gala who is completely uncontroversial, can naturally stay on the red carpet for a while and leave more photos and videos.
Of course, correspondingly, the on-site media also need more time to record Lin Qingyuan's figure.
So their group of guests stayed on the red carpet for almost ten minutes, and after meeting the photo needs of almost all the media and fans at home and abroad, Lin Qingyuan was reminded by the accompanying staff member Brother Locke to finish the dozens of
Go up the stairs to the party venue.
The layout of the infield is similar to the waiting area. The first is a noisy public interview area for the host.
The interview host of this year's Met Gala is a post-2000 YouTube blogger with tens of millions of fans. She is interviewing Kendall Jenner, who dazzled everyone tonight.
Lin Qingyuan didn't know him and had no intention of knowing him, so he walked directly through the crowd and walked into the venue.
Each table inside has the name of the sponsor, and each chair has a guest name tag.
Lin Qingyuan naturally sat at the table bought by LV.
"Lin, long time no see, how are you doing?"
"Not bad, how about you Virgil?"
"Not very good." The LV men's creative director named Virgil Abloh didn't look very good.
"I'm sorry to hear this news." Lin Qingyuan instantly realized what stupid thing he had just said.
It is not a secret in the industry that Virgil is suffering from cancer and will soon die. Although everyone is very sad that a genius is about to pass away, there is nothing that can be done about it.
"It's okay. I've put it aside. In the last period of my life, I just need to do what I like. The pressures that have increased over the past ten years can finally be completely let go."
"Everyone knows that you are a great genius and a strong warrior. Your life has been shocking enough, so enjoy the rest of the time." Lin Qingyuan hugged him with a serious expression.
Although the two of them only have a very ordinary cooperative relationship and have very few social interactions outside of work, most people in this world will feel compassion and pity in their hearts when facing someone who is about to die.
"The end of one story represents the beginning of another story to some extent. Lin, you are still young and have unlimited possibilities in the future." Virgil has struggled with the disease for so many years, and it seems that he has really gotten over it.
"I will." Lin Qingyuan nodded seriously.
After chatting with the LV menswear director, Lin Qingyuan then had a casual chat with Dev Hynes and Kid Cudi, the singers invited by LV this time, and then left with a slightly heavy and complicated mood.
"Lin, do you have time to take a photo together? Nice to meet you. I have seen those magazine covers you took. They are enough to be called classics in any era." Daughter of legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford, current top supermodel
One of them, Kaia Gerber, stopped Lin Qingyuan with a smile.
The fashion industry makes various selections of "Top Ten Magazine Covers at the End of the Year" every year. As an Asian representative, Lin Qingyuan has been shortlisted for two consecutive years.
"You're not bad either. Every time I see your catwalks and cover photos, I feel refreshed. I don't necessarily think you will surpass your mother in the future." Lin Qingyuan politely exchanged business compliments.
"Hahaha, thank you, you are the first person to say that." Kaiya smiled happily, and Lin Qingyuan was too lazy to speculate whether this sentence was true or false. Anyway, people here are wearing masks that are necessary for social interaction.
, considering whether things are true or false will only add unnecessary trouble to yourself.

Another photo of a fashion icon is released!
Lin Qingyuan has lost count of how many "new friends" he has met tonight and how many photos he has taken.
But that's the reality, and putting on a mask for one night is valuable to everyone here.
Taking a new photo to say goodbye to Kaia Gerber, Lin Qingyuan continued to wander around the venue aimlessly.
He saw Troy Sivan, a closeted singer in a black dress, basketball superstar Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha, and Liu Simu, the leading actor in "Shang-Chi" who caused quite a controversy in China.
I saw that chocolate-skinned mermaid actress with a special look that makes people call her miserable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when it comes to coming out, Lin Qingyuan is currently exchanging ideas on creating his own brand with a closeted designer.
Tom Ford, whose eponymous brand he founded in 2005, was acquired by the Estée Lauder Group for US$2.8 billion at the end of 2022. As a designer and entrepreneur, he is undoubtedly very successful.
"Yes, my personal fashion brand .E is currently planning to become a fashion brand, or to open a high-end product line that is in line with fashion and luxury. Only in this way can we break away from the concept of fast selling and make the brand more sustainable."
"What's the approximate annual turnover now?"
"This year it is estimated to reach 120 million U.S. dollars." Lin Qingyuan said the results of internal calculations.
"As a brand that was only born two years ago, .E's sales performance is already excellent enough."
"But it's not nearly enough."
.E still has great potential in East and Southeast Asia that has not yet been tapped, so there is no need to rush into the more competitive European and American markets to grab food.
"Although I don't know the specific situation of the East Asian market, I think you can try to open a beauty line." Tom Ford smiled, "After all, I think the influence of your face can be used to sell beauty products.
The product will definitely be 200% effective.”
"I will consider it, thank you for your suggestion."
Of course, Lin Qingyuan knew that doing beauty makeup would definitely make more money than selling ready-made clothes, but beauty makeup was really not that easy to do.
At least he had to recruit a professional R&D team first. Lin Qingyuan didn't want his side job to tarnish the reputation he had worked so hard to build.
This business party under the guise of charity continued in such a chaotic and noisy but orderly manner.
Lin Qingyuan then took photos with many people he knew and didn't know, but the one he talked to the most was Rose. The two of them were passing the time to keep warm by doing this.
Then when the party was about to end, Lin Qingyuan finally met Anna Wintour, the American VOGUE and also the global editor-in-chief of VOGUE.
"We will invite you to this year's December issue." The devil of fashion expressed her intention concisely and concisely.
"What an honor." Lin Qingyuan raised the corners of his mouth.
From the Vogue US double cover with Jenner in 2019 to the Vogue US single cover in 2021.
The progress I have made in the past two years by giving up a lot of rest time to take root in the fashion industry has finally been demonstrated through real cover results!
